    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release Minister George Yeo hands over Meulaboh General Hospital to Indonesian Authorities in Aceh Singapore, 2 July 2010 – Singapore-Indonesia bilateral ties were further cemented when Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr George Yeo handed over the S$12 million Meulaboh General Hospital to the Indonesian health authorities in a ceremony attended by 500 guests in West Aceh today. The Meulaboh General Hospital is a collaborative effort by the Singapore Red Cross (SRC), Temasek Holdings and the Government of Singapore. As it is the main referral hospital serving a population of more than 200,000 in South and West Aceh, the community hospital remained operational throughout the construction. Rebuilt and refurbished at its original site spanning two hectares, the 146-bed Meulaboh General Hospital will be staffed by 400 healthcare professionals. The enhanced facilities and increased capacity will meet the growing needs of Acehnese for quality healthcare. (Refer to Annex B) The handover of the Meulaboh General Hospital marks the closure of the Tidal Waves Asia Fund, which SRC and its Tsunami Reconstruction Facilitation Committee (TRFC) have managed since January 2005. To date, close to 70 projects on healthcare, education, housing and community, and economic recovery and livelihood have been successfully implemented in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. (Refer to Annex C) Mr Tee Tua Ba, Chairman of the Singapore Red Cross led the Singapore entourage comprising SRC project teams and the Singapore media, to Meulaboh yesterday. The group also visited other Singapore funded projects. They included the Meulaboh Pier (a G2G project), a kindergarten, orphanages as well as housing, water supply and sanitation facilities.

Sliuzas (Chairman) Dr. T. de Jong (External Examiner) MSc. M. Kuffer (First Supervisor) Drs. M.C.J. Damen (Second Supervisor) INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR GEO-INFORMATION SCIENCE AND EARTH OBSERVATION ENSCHEDE, THE NETHERLANDS Disclaimer This document describes work undertaken as part of a programme of study at the International Institute for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation. All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the institute. Abstract This research aims at developing a method to determine possible allocation of evacuation shelter buildings (ESB) using geo-information technology as a part of urban reconstruction planning in a tsunami-prone urban area; case study is of Meulaboh City, Aceh, Indonesia. Initiated by the great earthquake of Mw=9.3 in the northwest of Sumatra island, Indonesia, the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004 has become the most important research topic in tsunami research and disaster mitigation efforts today. Disaster mitigation aspects, including minimising casualties, will be part of the reconstruction planning of the tsunami-affected areas. The main effort in minimising casualties in tsunami disaster is to evacuate people from the hazard area before tsunami strikes by means of either horizontal or vertical evacuation.

  • Tsunami Mortality in Aceh Province, Indonesia Shannon Doocy,A Abdur Rofi,B Claire Moodie,C Eric Spring,C Scott Bradley,C Gilbert Burnhama & Courtland Robinson A
    Tsunami mortality in Aceh Province, Indonesia Shannon Doocy,a Abdur Rofi,b Claire Moodie,c Eric Spring,c Scott Bradley,c Gilbert Burnhama & Courtland Robinson a Objective Nine tsunami-affected districts in Aceh, Indonesia, were surveyed between February and August 2005 to characterize tsunami mortality. Methods The surveys employed a two-stage cluster methodology with probability proportional to size sampling, and encompassed 1653 tsunami-displaced households with a pre-tsunami population of 10 063 individuals. Findings Of the original pre-tsunami population, a total of 1642 people, or 17%, were reported as dead or missing in the tsunami. Crude mortality rates in the four survey areas ranged from a high of 23.6% in Aceh Jaya district on the west coast to 5.3% on the east coast. Age-specific mortality rates followed a similar pattern across the four survey areas, with the highest mortality concentrating in the youngest children (aged 0–9 years) and oldest adults (70+). The risk of mortality was significantly greater among females than males; this difference was most pronounced among individuals between ages 10 and 69 years, and diminished among younger and older age groups. Conclusion Mortality risk in the 2004 Asian tsunami varied by geographic location, age and sex. The districts of Aceh Jaya, Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar experienced the greatest mortality. Risk of death was highest among females, and among the oldest and youngest population subgroups. While the full human impact of the Asian tsunami in Aceh Province, in terms of lives lost or damaged, may never be fully measured, the resulting female deficit will likely be the tsunami’s most deeply felt and prolonged impact.

Ltd Contact: John O Niles*, [email protected], +1-805-252-6777 * Primary Contact Resubmitted December 29, 2007 1 Executive Summary This project will develop and test carbon finance mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contribute to sustainable economic and social development and conserve biodiversity over the next 30 years. The project will use land use planning and reclassification, increased monitoring and law enforcement, reforestation, restoration, and sustainable community logging on 750,000 ha of forest in the Ulu Masen Ecosystem and peripheral forest blocks located in the Indonesian Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (hereafter referred to as Aceh Province). The project estimates proposed activities will reduce deforestation in the area by 85% and 3,369,848 tons of CO2 emissions can be avoided each year. Adequate carbon finance is essential for this project to succeed. This Project Design Note is intended to provide a qualified CCBA auditor with sufficient information to make informed decision on whether the project passes CCBA validation, and if so at what level (basic, silver or gold). The project will be undertaken by the Government of Aceh and its institutions, with expected endorsement and support of the national Government of Indonesia (GOI) and relevant agencies.

  • After the Tsunami: Human Rights of Vulnerable Populations
    INDONESIA David Cohen,• Aviva Nababan,* Agung Widjaya+1 I. INTRODUCTION On Sunday morning, December 26, 2004, around 8:00 a.m. local time, Juanda and Embong had just fi nished a report they worked all night to complete in the People’s Crisis Center (PCC) Offi ce in Banda Aceh, and decided to walk to a nearby market to buy some breakfast. Suddenly the earth shook mightily, preventing the two men from walking. Embong could only watch as a two-story building slowly collapsed and shattered. Everyone ran out from the buildings, their panic intensifi ed by seeing waves as high as 20 meters approaching the road. The population ran without direction. Juanda and Embong tried to run to the Merduati area, where Embong’s house was, remembering that Embong’s father was sick and resting at home. But in seconds they were swallowed up by the waves. They survived by hanging on to an electricity pole, and could only watch as children, women and senior citizens were swept away by the waters and drowned. It was as if doomsday had come. People were screaming prayers, and chaos was everywhere. Two hours later, the two men climbed down, swam, and later walked to the site of the PCC offi ce, which was gone. They immediately went to Merduati village, and stopped when they came across a body. As Embong hugged the corpse of his father, whom he had been unable to rescue, they cried and called upon Allah’s name. Unfortunately, this heart-wrenching story is similar to those of thousands of tsunami victims in Aceh.

  • Quick Medical Aid Helped Ward Off Epidemics That Could Have Arisen in Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster
    www.asiabiotech.com Special Report Quick Medical Aid Helped Ward Off Epidemics That Could Have Arisen in Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster by T C Lai n the wake of last year’s December 26th Indian Ocean tsunami, nations affected by it were left to count the costs of the disaster. Many lives were I lost, livelihoods interrupted and property and infrastructure destroyed. Even as this story was being written the costs were still being measured: How many have died; what will happen to the fishing industry along the coasts; how are the wrecked towns and villagers going to be rebuilt; how are the lives of the survivors, so fractured by loss of kin and property, going to be pieced together ever again? At the time of press, 226,000 people have perished. As the situation stabilizes, a more accurate picture of the number of lives lost will emerge putting to rest accusations of double-reporting and hysterical accounting. And it appears that things are finally settling down, with fears of aftershocks diminishing, and the many affected receiving the aid they need. Relief operations are moving from providing immediate aid to giving assistance in rebuilding. And so, many foreign military helpers, such as those from the US and Singapore, who were quick to respond when the disaster struck, are preparing to leave. Said Admiral Thomas Fargo, commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Command: “No deadlines or datelines have been established. My observation here is that we are pretty much past the immediate relief phase and are rapidly moving towards rehabilitation and reconstruction.” The initial fears of a disease epidemic due to the high number of corpses in the open and of drinking contaminated water appear to be unwarranted.
