Check out 20/20’s segment on Tilly, the 10-year-old girl who saved dozens of people in Thailand in 2004 because she knew the natural warning signs of a tsunami. I was intrigued to see how her parents moved through the three phases of disaster think: denial, deliberation and the decisive moment. Luckily, they moved quickly.

I have seen videos of what happened during the Tsunami in Phukit,Thailand particularly the video that was taken by one of the local TV actress.It was a devastating scenario.It was actually taken during the onset and they were on the third floor of the hotel,and the ground were all water.

I watched the video and found it really amazing. I would like to use this opportunity to congratulate the girl who succeeded in saving the lives of dozens of people. This story goes to show the importance of having knowledge about tsunamis and other natural disasters. I am reminded of the people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands who had a clear knowledge of the natural warning signs of tsunami and thereby saved themselves. I think natural disasters and their warning signs should be included in school curriculum. It will really go a long way in saving countless lives.
