03/29/2005 01:53 AMYes, this may be off topic. Regardless, it needs to be said.
Apparently there has been another quake that hit the Indian Ocean off
the coast of Sumatra. It had a force of 8.7 and there are come really
valid concerns about another tsunami being something that could be in
their near future. Thankfully the U.S. Geological Survey has the
technology to measure and hopefully ‘predict’ whether
there could be more to be concerned about….

international death toll stands at nearly 24,000.
Ron Morris in Thailand says, "Since
the first tremor from the Sumatran quake was felt in Bangkok over 36
hours ago, we have been blogging the latest news about the disaster.
Includes screen grabs from Thai TV and links to locals who took photos
of the wreckage after the tidal waves."

Cameron Sinclair of the nonprofit group Architecture For

crew live close by the Tsumani disaster and are reporting on whats
going on: Link. As
for reconstruction issues, a page is being set up at Architecture for
Humanity to cover this: Link."
Here is a photoblog maintained by a man named Fred in Sri Lanka, with

Here's a personal blog maintained by a person in Malaysia, with posts
related to the event: Link. Blogger Rezwan in
Bangladesh posts about a near-miss here.
BoingBoing reader Dav asks how he and
other displaced Western tourists can help.
"Just since I know you guys are at the nexus of a lot of information:
I'm here in Thailand on holiday, been staying on the island of Koh
Samui on the east side of Thailand. We had been planning to go to
Krabi (one of the places hit hard in southern thailand) in a couple of
days for a psy-trance party. Now we're thinking of keeping the flight
tp Krabi and trying to volunteer to help however we can. Any ideas on
how to find out if any organization would want volunteers and
where/what? I tried a few sites like Red Cross, etc but didn't notice
any info on emergency volunteering and the net connection is so slow
it is difficult looking around."
Pointers to other blog coverage welcome, submit sites here.
Update: Alex Steffen of worldchanging.com says,
"Some South Asian bloggers, including a couple of my colleagues from
Worldchanging, have set up a blog tracking relief efforts and how
folks can contribute: tsunamihelp.blogspot.com.
"We're also going to be posting more throughout the day on Worldchanging. This is not
"just" one of the worst disasters of the decade, one where every bit
of help will be needed to save lives and rebuild, it's also a call to
change the way access to basic science is shared on our planet.
Most of the tens of thousands of people who died yesterday might have
been saved with better scientific, communications and warning
systems."
