43 5.2 Suggestions 1) Systematic assistance to disaster affected victims should be established in order to deliver aids in a timely and appropriate manner. This includes setting up data on population characteristics and occupation, and contact list of community leaders. The contact list will enable the outsiders to communicate and to disseminate information on the situations in the community.

44 5.2 Suggestions 2) Dissemination of knowledge related to disasters and ways of protection should be undertaken as well as mental/traumatic treatment should be continuously provided. 3) Alternative careers and/or development of current careers should be suggested to the members of the community.

45 5.2 Suggestions 4) Creating the community and the tourist awareness in the value of natural resources and balance of eco-system should be promoted. For example, mangroves and perennial trees plantation along the coast are to promoted so as to reduce any possible damages and loss which may occur in the future. Such promotion should be correspondent to the community development master plan which will enable participation from all related persons and agencies. For the time being, the campaigns should be carried out as many still remember the loss that happened on 26 December 2004.

46 5.2 Suggestions 5) Setting up a measure to periodically alert the local people about disaster and to build natural conservation awareness. This also includes developing lessons learned for the younger generation to enable them to implement sustainable development activities.
