HPG has produced a briefing note covering some of the humanitarian aspects of the Indian Ocean catastrophe. It provides a series of links to relevant papers, websites and other sources, including research conducted by ODI. This can be found at
http://www.odi.org.uk/hpg/index.html. These are preliminary reflections only, and we plan to produce a revised version when the facts and issues become clearer. Meanwhile, we would welcome any comments and suggestions you may have.
Also on the HPG site is a short note by Paul Harvey on the potential use of cash and vouchers in situations of this kind.
On the Humanitarian Practice Network (HPN) site, you will find short commissioned piece The Asian tsunami: The implications for preparedness and contingency planning by John Twigg and Richard Choularton,

We would like to offer our deepest sympathies to all those who may have lost family members, friends or colleagues as result of the tsunamis.
