Kerala may soon have a tsunami museum. The museum will conserve the forbidding reminded and artifacts of the disaster occur during the tsunami of 26,2004 and will serve as an information and guidance center, which could educate the masses on tsunami.
The Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hawaii will lend support for the Kerala museum. The Pacific museum authorities plan to include first hand accounts of survivors of Kerala and those who helplessly watched their dear ones and belonging being washed away by the giant waves and photographs of the tragedy that hit the State in its gallery.
Walter.C.Dudley,Chairman, scientific advisory council of the Pacific Tsunami Museum, and Jeanne Branch Johnston, earthquake and tsunami programme planner of the State of Hawaii-Civil Defence Division, had toured the tsunami-hit areas of the State last week and recorded the accounts of the victims.
