Tsunami nations issue US advice
From correspondents in Bangkok
05sep05
US police run the risk of countless mistakes if they rush to identify the bodies of Hurricane Katrina victims too quickly, the head of Thailand's tsunami identification operations has warned.
"They need to examine the bodies slowly and put all the data into a computer," Nopadol Somboonsub, a police general in charge of the Thailand Tsunami Victims Identification Centre on the southern resort island of Phuket said today.
"It's very important to get it right. You cannot assume that this or that body is the right body simply because a relative identified it."
Identity theft and life insurance fraud were realities in the wake of massive disasters, Nopadol said.
Nopadol is the head of the largest forensics operation in history, trying to put names to the 5395 bodies of at least 25 nationalities left in Thailand by the Indian Ocean disaster.
Along with many people across the Indian Ocean region, he has wondered how the experiences of the region after the December 26 tsunami might help the US after Katrina.
Budi Atmadi, head of relief operations on the Indonesian island of Aceh, which bore the brunt of the killer tsunami, said rescue workers must not let criticism from victims, politicians or the media deflect them from their jobs.
"The early days after the disaster are always panic situations," Mr Atmadi, the deputy secretary of Bakrona BPB, Indonesia's equivalent of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, said.
"In that period, the blame game is rampant because one person will always say the relief has been slow while another says there are so many limitations.
"The blame game will always be there so your ears need to be thick.
"The important thing is to stay committed and put humanitarian concerns at the top."
