摘要
A post-tsunami survey was conducted along the Myanmar coast two months after the 2004 Great Sumatra earthquake (M-w=9.0) that occurred off the west coast of Sumatra and generated a devastating tsunami around the Indian Ocean. Visual observations, measurements, and a survey of local people's experiences with the tsunami indicated some reasons why less damage and fewer casualties occurred in Myanmar than in other countries around the Indian Ocean. The tide level at the measured sites was calibrated with reference to a real-time tsunami datum, and the tsunami tide level range was 2-3 m for 22 localities in Myanmar. The tsunami arrived three to four hours after the earthquake.
