Abstract

This is a descriptive report of the Swedish authorities' responses to the tsunami that affected Southeast Asia in December 2004. The main focus is the care of survivors and the injured during their transportation from Thailand and their return to Sweden. The psychological and physical after-effects also are presented based on a poll conducted one year after the tsunami.
