Public Response to Tsunami in India: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

This research paper investigates the multifaceted dimensions of the public response to tsunamis in India, with a focus on socio-economic, cultural, and psychological factors. Leveraging a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative data from government reports and qualitative insights from interviews with affected individuals, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the evolving dynamics of disaster response. Drawing upon historical analyses, the research builds upon the seminal work following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, addressing the need for contemporary insights into the public's resilience and coping mechanisms.
