More proof that you must not rely on the government and/or private sector organizations; a year after a September 2018 tsunami “…the government reported that 4,140 people died in the disaster, of which 1,016 were not identified; and a further 705 people remain missing. More than 4,400 were seriously injured and more than 110,000 houses destroyed….. more than 172,000 people were displaced…. …170 organizations were or are carrying out recovery activities across 63 location….   … is encouraging the community to actively take ownership and be more involved in repair, recovery and reconstruction efforts.”
