NIAS ISLANDS: HIDDEN DAMAGE OF A WORLD HERITAGE An Exposure to Call for Help

Why is Nias Damage Less Exposed

Main Reasons First Disaster (Tsunami) was relatively light The killer quake was on the 28th of March, two days after Government call’s the Emergency Relief stage off The scale of the Island is too small for a National Disaster status, dwarfed by the Aceh scale Getting to Nias is very difficult

Lack of Funds Approved until October 2005 Approved for 2005, 2006 4% 12% The 4% international commitment is far from enough to support Nias recovery process
