Precautions
On December 26 2004 a massive earthquake struck many of the coastal countries of Asia. The quake created a tsunami - a series of huge waves that reached shores of Thailand, Malaysia, Srilanka, Southeastern India and Indonesia. Many areas of these countries were severely affected by the disaster, with a large amount of damage to public services, infrastructure and tourist resorts. Apart from the obvious architectural devastation, there is a risk that the aftermath of the tsunami will be carrier of some harmful diseases. Although there has been no outbreak as yet, vaccines against diphtheria, typhoid, hepatitis A, tetanus and polio are recommended before traveling to these places. The flooding and heavy rain has led to increased breeding of mosquitoes. As a result malaria tablets should be taken beforehand. There is a risk that food and water may be contaminated, so to stay safe water-purification drops or tablets, diarrhea medication and antibiotics should be carried along. Those wishing to travel to the above-mentioned Asian countries should check with a reliable tour operator, tourist board or embassy for the latest information prior to travel.
