  • Learning from the Aitape Tsunami 1. Introduction
    ITS 2001 Proceedings, Session 2, Number 2-10 415 Learning from the Aitape tsunami Hugh L. Davies, Jocelyn M. Davies, Wilfred Y. Lus, Russell C.B. Perembo, Nelson Joku, Harrison Gedikile, and Michael Nongkas Geology Department, University of Papua New Guinea1 Abstract. The Aitape, Papua New Guinea, tsunami of 17 July 1998 was focused on a 14-km sector of coastline centered on the villages of Arop, Warapu, and Nimas. Here the wave height was 10 m or more and all structures within 400–500 m of the shoreline were destroyed. More than 1600 people were killed and 10,000 survivors were forced to relocate inland. PNG-based researchers collected eyewitness accounts, mapped the pattern of destruction and the distribution and character of tsunami sediments, participated in marine investigations, and mapped and sampled underwater rock exposures that reveal a history of periodic, co-seismic(?) subsidence. They also provided information to the survivors and later convened a conference of scientists, survivors, and managers from which a comprehensive account of the disaster, the response, and the recovery has been developed. Currently, for near-source tsunamis in PNG the only effective safety measure is to ensure that all people are aware of the warning signs of a tsunami and so know what to do, and that coastal settlements are planned with tsunamis in mind. The authors are participating in a nationwide campaign to promote tsunami awareness and preparedness. 1. Introduction On the evening of Friday 17 July 1998, about 20 min after a strongly felt local earthquake, a succession of three large waves struck the Aitape coast of Papua New Guinea (Fig.

  • Family and Sexual Violence in Papua New Guinea: a Medical Emergency
    Family and Sexual Violence in Papua New Guinea: a medical emergency The Australian Government Inquiry into the human rights issues confronting women and girls in the Indian Ocean – Asia Pacific region Submission by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Family and sexual violence (FSV) is widespread across Papua New Guinea (PNG) both within and outside the family. Women and children are particularly vulnerable. And despite the alarmingly high statistics we see in the few studies that exist and in Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) own clinical data, this is thought to be only the tip of the iceberg. The full magnitude of the problem of FSV in PNG is not understood due to the lack of disaggregated data available and the challenges survivors face in coming forward. Family and sexual violence is a medical emergency and must be treated as such. FSV survivors can suffer both acute and long-lasting medical and psychological consequences. If they do not receive adequate and timely care, there can be grave ramifications for the individual and potentially also the community. Médecins Sans Frontières has been working with FSV survivors in PNG since 2007 and promotes the provision of ‘5 essential services1’ to all FSV survivors in one session as a minimum level of care. While the national and provincial governments have made improvements in the medical care of FSV survivors, there is still a very long way to go. Currently, due to the scarcity of Family Support Centres (FSCs) across the country, access of FSV survivors to all of the essential services in a timely manner is not assured.
