Tsunamis hits Papuan New Guinea regularly and no one says anything, Had those tsunamis been studied then somehting could have been done before. But it was necessary a big one killing above 100K to wake public opinion. New Fears of Disease Emerge From Tidal Wave Tragedy Posted on Fri, 08 Oct 2004 19:28:45 GMT Written by Jennifer Brill, Staff Writer, DisasterRelief.org Since a tsunami pounded the northwest shores of Papua New Guinea last weekend, its water-soaked beaches have displaced residents, caused crowding on dry land, and left corpses rotting in an environment dangerously vulnerable to disease. Now, health concerns have prompted authorities to evacuate survivors from Sissano lagoon, the site of the disaster. On the 17th July 1998 just after seven in the evening, the inhabitants of the West Sepik area of Papua New Guinea felt the tremors from a scale seven earthquake just off their picturesque coast. Just minutes later a 10 metre high Tsunami (Tidal Wave), followed by two smaller waves, slammed into a number of villages in the Sissano Lagoon area between Vanimo and Aitape - smashing them to pulp. Of the approximately 10,000 inhabitants of the area, 1200 are confirmed dead with many thousands still missing. Many of the dead and missing were children helpless in the path of the waves onslaught. members.ozemail.com.au
