| description | Sirombu, a coastal settlement and trading hub on the western coast of Nias Island in Indonesia, was severely impacted by the devastating earthquakes and tsunamis that struck Aceh and the western offshore islands of Sumatra on December 26, 2004, and again on March 27, 2005. This paper examines the immediate aftermath of these catastrophic events in Sirombu. Employing a historical methodology and drawing upon diverse data sources, the study reveals the rapid transformation of life in Sirombu from normalcy to chaos and fear as the disasters unfolded. The earthquakes and tsunamis resulted in significant loss of life and injuries, widespread destruction of homes, markets, the seaport, and other infrastructure, and the displacement of the local population. |
