印度洋海啸刺激了印度灾害管理活动的增长。显然，所有这些努力都是为了通过增强社区权能和提高其抗灾能力来减少未来灾害的风险。此时此刻，一系列问题接踵而至：这些努力是否实现了最终目标;社区是否得到了赋权？如果是，程度如何？通过进一步审查某些社区，可以发现尚需填补的空白。对泰米尔纳德邦Cuddalore区沿海社区的一项研究反映了差距和陷阱，这些差距和陷阱进一步强调了所实施的减少灾害风险方案缺乏可持续性。研究结果清楚地表明，与物质复原力和经济复原力相比，即使是努力获得基本必需品的社区也最不重视灾害风险意识和备灾。因此，在这些社区实施减少灾害风险方案将是无效的。本章将重点讨论这些差距，以及塑造一个具有抗灾能力的社区所面临的挑战。
The Indian Ocean Tsunami spurred the growth of disaster management activities in India. Obviously, all of these efforts were intended to reduce the risk of future disasters, through empowering communities and increasing their resilience to disasters. An array of questions that hails in, at this point of time are: did these efforts achieve their ultimate goal; have communities been empowered? If so, to what extent? By further examining certain communities, gaps can be found which needs yet to be filled. A study on the coastal communities of Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, reflects the gaps and pitfalls that further underline the lack of sustainability in the implemented disaster risk reduction programs. The results clearly underpins that the communities striving even for their basic necessities gives least priority to disaster risk awareness and preparedness comparing to physical resilience as well as economic resilience. Thus implementation of disaster risk reduction programs in such communities will be ineffective. This chapter will focus on such gaps, as well as the challenges in molding a disaster-resilient community.
