After a year of deliberation and research, on September 11, 2007, the FOCUS St. Louis Regional Disaster Preparedness Task Force released a report to the community assessing the region's state of preparedness and offering nearly 20 recommendations pointing the way to a safer, better prepared region.

Tsunami Recovery Program Five-Year Report
On December 26, 2004, millions of people from Southeast Asia to East Africa experienced one of the worst natural disasters in modern history. In a matter of minutes, the tsunami killed more than 230,000 people, and millions more watched as their homes, shops, boats, places of worship and schools disappeared into an inconceivably powerful wave. Today, villages teem with activity, classrooms are full of students, and marketplaces are alive with business. Five years after the tsunami, survivors are embracing a brighter future, thanks in part to the Red Cross Tsunami Recovery Program. Download the Report. |
