Title: Coping personally after the tsunamis (PDF file) (Links to English resource)

Summary: Distress is an understandable and normal response to disasters such as tsunamis. Common causes of distress may be related to having been directly at risk from the disaster, being concerned about family and friends, witnessing injuries and distress to others, or being caught up in the panic and confusion that often follows. In addition, feelings and memories related to previous experiences of disasters or other grief and loss may also resurface.
