Tsunami related resources

Here are some health related resources which might help anyone you know working in those areas affected by the terrible events of December 26th. Please share them if you know anyone who can use them.

Tsunami update from SciDev.Net. Links to news and features, and also to a Nature page detailing ways to help. The page is headed with the famous Hokkusai tidal wave picture, which I have always liked as a representation of the power of the sea. But it now seems all too real, and not just a dramatic picture.

HealthNet, from Satellife. The Satellife home page links to information on health concerns in disaster relief, and also to a list of organisations and information on how to help. Satellife is developing ways to provide information to health professionals in information poor areas of the world.

There is also information on the DFID site, and on a page on Google, and on fish.co.uk.
