Tsunami Recovery Impact Assessment and Monitoring System (TRIAMS)

The Tsunami Recovery Impact Assessment and Monitoring System (TRIAMS) is a sub-regional initiative that defined, promoted and supported a common system to monitor recovery activities and assess their overall impact in the four countries most affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami – Indonesia, the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

The purpose of the TRIAMS initiative is to assist governments, aid agencies and affected populations in assessing and monitoring the rate and direction of tsunami recovery in the countries covered over a period of five years.
