Immediate Approaches
1. The gathering of information and the development
of a database system about the loss and damage caused, and
about those killed, missing or injured, as a result of the
tsunami. The information and the database system will be used
to identify appropriate relief measures and community rehabilitation
plans.
2. The development of an interactive website
entitled 'Save Andaman'. The website will highlight the problems
faced by marginalized groups, publicize taskforce roles in
tsunami-affected areas, and provide taskforce updates, demonstrating
how actions are leading to the long-term mitigation of problems.
3. The creation of 'The Community Support
Fund' via donations from both national and international donors.
The fund will support activities like the construction of
temporary shelters and the repair or purchase of fishing boats
and fishing gears. Such activities are essential to safeguard
the livelihoods, food security and incomes of marginalized
groups.
Note: The network places great importance
on the legitimacy and accountability of the 'The Community
Support Fund'. For more information ...

4. The provision of immediate vocational
relief, including the construction of temporary shelters and
the repair or purchase of fishing boats and fishing gears,
as supported by 'The Community Support Fund'. The network
will coordinate with the private sector and the government
to ensure assistance reaches the marginalized groups.
5. The organizing of public forums to assess
the effectiveness of the government's policy framework in
addressing tsunami relief problems. The forums will look at
how the policy framework can support the rehabilitation of
communities and natural resources affected by the tsunami.
Long-term Approaches
1. To build the capacity of communities in
restoring coastal natural resources and coastal ecosystems
by encouraging community organizations to play a prominent
role in restoration, including the drafting of community-based
natural resource rehabilitation plans. Such plans will include
fundraising and campaigning in support of planned activities.
2. To monitor and study what funds have been
received and how they have been used, and the provision of
relief and aid to tsunami victims in the affected provinces.
3. To organize forums to draw out lessons
learned about the tsunami and the subsequent relief programme,
based on the experiences of those in some way involved. One
aim will be to identify ways to mitigate the impact of potential
future tsunamis.
