Thursday 31st March 2005

In Phuket Province, the affect of the tsunami on the coastal communities ranged from moderate to severe. There are altogether 6 villages where both houses and fishing boats are severely damaged (346 houses, 580 boats are destroyed). As usual, the Save Andaman Network has been seeking collaboration and support from the local partners. These include the community organizations and governmental organizations namely the Community Development Institute, Thai Community Foundation, Network of Writers, private sector, kind support from general public both Thai citizen and foreigners. All of the support aim to reach the affected communities directly.

In Phuket Province, there are 5 Tambons in 3 Ampurs that are affected by the tsunami. The preliminary relief support on repairing fishing boats and gears that were given to the affected communities derived mainly from fund-raising among the network both at national and international level. This support was given in the form of donation rather than through revolving fund as practiced in the other provinces because the communities do not have a revolving fund set up in their communities yet, thus might not be able to service the loans. However, after April when the repairing activities are completed, the community will begin to formulate a long-term rehabilitation plan.

Baan Siray

In this U-rak-ra-woy village, 36 houses were severely damaged and need extensive repair, a further 27 houses need some degree of repair. All of their 47 fishing boats have been completely destroyed.
