January 2005:

Indian Ocean Tsunami Response Geospatial Information Service

The Pacific Disaster Centre (PDC) have assembled and hosted a web-based GIS - the Indian Ocean Tsunami Response Geospatial Information Service, as part of the Asia-Pacific Natural Hazards Information Network (APHNIN). It can be found at http://www.pdc.org/ .
 If you are using ESRI's ArcMap or ArcExplorer, you can add this service to your MXD or AEP project files to use the data dynamically. The service does now have a web-based Map Viewer for browsing the service online (http://www.pdc.org/tsunami )> The map server currently contains Landsat imagery, SRTM shaded relief layers and scanned topographic maps, in addition to post-tsunami damage/inundation extent polygons. High resolution satellite imagery will be added during the coming weeks.
