A few days before Cyclone Sidr ravaged Bangladesh, the people of the coastal region found themselves rushing into shelters, having been warned of an incoming tsunami. That, however, proved to be a “false dawn” as the gigantic waves left almost no damage. So when the warnings came on November 15, disastrously, many people chose to neglect them rather than rush immediately to the safety of the shelters. A few managed to reach these safe havens, but some who wanted to never made it. Even those who made it to the shelters lost almost everything – family, friends, their homes, their land and even their livestock. Perhaps the latter three could be replaced, but no amount of relief will ever make up for lost friends and family.
