78 Weeks later: A descriptive, quantitative and qualitative summary after the Tsunami in Thailand. By Karl Segschneider and Walaitat Worakul, edited by TAW, Chiang Mai 2007. ISBN 9789748410241

The first TAW publication about the recovery aid process one and a half years after the disaster has been re-published as ‘78 weeks later. A descriptive, quantitative and qualitative summary after the Tsunami in Thailand’. It discusses the impact of the disaster, the state of reconstruction at the time, as well as the particular structures in Southern Thailand that influence paths to sustainability in post Tsunami rehabilitation.

“78 Weeks later” opened up a broad perspective on the social, economic, environmental and political impact of the Tsunami and the first phase of recovery. It resulted from a presentation at a symposium of the Heinrich B?ll Foundation in April 2006 in Berlin, when Karl Segschneider – the Director of the Tsunami Aid Watch programme – delivered a striking analysis of the tsunami disaster response in Thailand.

This paper was first published as an attachment to the report of a joint fact finding mission on Tsunami rehabilitation to Sri Lanka of medico international, Brot fuer die Welt and the Heinrich B?ll Foundation (see www.taw-hbf.org).
