A CASE STUDY ON NGOs PREVENTION AND CONTROL TOWARDS TSUNAMI RELIEF MEASURES IN TAMILNADU

Almost ten years have passed since tidal waves crashed down on the countries and islands of the Indian Ocean, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and leading to a natural disaster of a magnitude never before seen in modern history. The Tsunami was a disaster unprecedented in scale, and it prompted an unparalleled and extraordinary response. All over the world, private citizens, NGOs and governments mobilised to bring humanitarian relief and reconstruction to affected areas. NGOs have risen to the huge challenge posed by the extraordinary scale of the disaster. As the Tsunami catastrophe approaches, it is fitting that NGOs, who have played such a crucial role in the response to the crisis, come together with a frank and constructive approach to their work and draw lessons from experience. Hopefully, this will contribute to a better understanding of NGOs' work and help consolidate both the incredible support given by the wider public for our actions and the trust that has been invested in our longstanding work in the field. This paper highlights the challenges, opportunities, and problems of NGOs during Tsunami Relief Measures and also pointed out the barriers to NGOs.
