April 11, Xi'an, China, Xi'an Museum/西安博物院 (Part 3, Jianfu Temple/荐福寺 and Small Wild Goose Pagoda/小雁塔):

Jianfu Temple was a Buddhist temple, originally built in 684 AD (Tang dynasty), it was dedicated to the then newly deceased Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and was an important center for translating Buddhist texts from India. It's home to the famous Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Today, the temple is part of Xi'an Museum.

Cherry blossoms (?) inside the temple. And a random bird:

The Mahavira Hall/大雄宝殿 (the main building of a Chinese Buddhist temple) of Jianfu Temple. The temple was rebuilt several times over its long history, and the current temple took shape in Ming and Qing dynasties. Note the Ming/Qing-era architecture style.

A quiet little side door in the temple flanked by bamboo:

The Small Wild Goose Pagoda. The pagoda was built in 707 - 709 AD (Tang dynasty), but was damaged by an earthquake in 1556, which caused the top level to be partially destroyed. Today it stands as a famous example of Tang-era architecture.

Two of the steles around the pagoda. The left one was erected in 1734 and records the origins and history of Jianfu Temple, while the right one was erected in 1690 and records how the pagoda was repaired in early Qing dynasty.

May I please be a geology nerd? Bc the stones you chose for the miinu currency are actually a fascinating insight into the history of where the miinu developed!

- Basalt is extremely common, a good choice for a run of the mill currency. It’s prevalence in this region tells us that their settlement is either on a (current or ancient) oceanic coastline or an island, since basalt is the main ingredient of the sea floor! It’s an igneous rock, produced by the slow spreading of tectonic plates ^_^

- Slate is an outlier here, being the only metamorphic rock of the bunch, created by heat and pressure being applied to clay or volcanic ash. Given the color of the slate in the example I’m pressed to assume the second, which fits perfectly with my analysis of the next stone…

- Obsidian is a variety of volcanic glass! It is able to carry a fine edge resistant to dulling, making it very valuable in ancient times and today! It is also quite fragile and carving it takes lots of time and practice. The combination of dark slate implying volcanic activity and the presence of obsidian, it is easy to hypothesize the miinu are native to a region on/near an oceanic plate that sees heavy volcanic activity

- Amazonite further cements this theory as another igneous mineral, but it is somewhat unique in that it is a large grained stone. The larger the crystals are, the longer it took for them to cool, which implies these stones had a long journey from the depth of the earth where those temperatures can be maintained. It makes sense that they would be very rare, but seeing that they likely weren’t mined and aren’t the most uncommon, it’s possible they came to the surface by natural phenomena

- Opalite is interesting, because modernly it is far and away a synthetic stone, made by heating dolomite and metals into a opalescent glass. But historically the word was used to describe any Opal that lacked play-of-color, the rainbow shimmer that opals are famous for. It’s also interesting as it can form in several different ways- through cooling magma or silica rich water depositing it over time. From my research common Opal or opalite is usually the sedimentary kind. Therefore, somewhere in the regions history there was chemical erosion of silica rich stone that seeped into the water and deposited into opals.

CONCLUSION:

The distribution of stones, their origins, chemical makeup, and rarity points to a geological history closest to the western South American coastline! As a subduction fault line (where oceanic crust meets and sinks below continental crust) it is high in earthquakes and volcanic activity, creating the perfect environment for our stones! If the miinu are indeed native to a region in or near Peru, there you can find oceanic basalt, slate, obsidian, opalite, and amazonite!!!!!

Lol this was certainly a very informative lesson. But yeah, I was actively looking for volcanic minerals because the Miinu live on a series of volcanic islands off the coast of what would be India. (The planet the Miinu live on are extremely similar to earth but the geography is very different.) There's a very populous miinu settlement that even exists right at the base of an active volcano.

Three Movies About the 2004 Tsunami

December 26, 2004 (20 years ago today) was one of the worst days in human history in terms of loss of life. Nearly a quarter of a million people were killed when a massive offshore earthquake in the Indian Ocean (9.3 on the Richter scale) set off a tsunami that rose as high as 100 feet in some spots, traveling far inland. The countries most effected were Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand,…

20 Years On: Remembering the Tsunami That Changed the World

Two decades ago, on December 26, 2004, the world witnessed one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. The Indian Ocean tsunami, triggered by a 9.1-9.3 magnitude undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, claimed over 230,000 lives across 14 countries and left millions more grappling with loss, destruction, and profound change. As we mark the 20th anniversary, we reflect on its enduring impact, lessons learned, and the resilience of humanity in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

A Day That Shook the World

The earthquake struck at 7:58 a.m. local time, releasing energy equivalent to 1,500 Hiroshima atomic bombs. It was the third-largest earthquake ever recorded and lasted up to ten minutes. The resulting tsunami waves, some towering over 30 meters, radiated across the Indian Ocean, devastating coastlines in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, and even parts of Africa thousands of kilometers away.

Entire communities were wiped out in minutes. Banda Aceh in Indonesia, closest to the epicenter, bore the brunt of the disaster, with over 160,000 lives lost. Thailand's picturesque beaches, bustling with holidaymakers, became scenes of chaos and despair. In Sri Lanka, the waves reached as far as two kilometers inland, displacing over half a million people.

Global Response and Solidarity

The magnitude of the disaster elicited an unprecedented global response. Governments, humanitarian organizations, and individuals mobilized to provide immediate aid and long-term support. Over $14 billion was pledged for relief and reconstruction efforts, making it one of the largest international aid efforts in history.

Volunteers from around the world flocked to affected regions, offering their expertise and support. The disaster also underscored the importance of coordinated international responses to natural calamities and led to the establishment of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System in 2006.

Lessons Learned

1. Preparedness and Early Warning Systems: The lack of a robust warning system in 2004 meant that many communities were caught off guard. Today, advancements in seismic monitoring and tsunami alert systems have significantly reduced response times and potential loss of life.

2. Community Resilience: The tragedy highlighted the importance of educating coastal communities about natural warning signs, such as receding shorelines, and implementing evacuation plans.

3. Building Back Better: Reconstruction efforts emphasized sustainable and resilient infrastructure. While challenges remain, many affected regions have emerged stronger, with improved disaster management protocols.

The Human Spirit of Recovery

Amid the devastation, stories of survival and solidarity emerged. Families reunited against all odds, strangers became lifelong friends through shared grief and recovery, and countless individuals transformed personal loss into a mission to help others. Survivors like Petra Nemcová, a Czech supermodel who was severely injured in Thailand, went on to establish foundations to aid disaster-stricken communities.

Looking Ahead

Twenty years later, the memories of the 2004 tsunami remain etched in the collective consciousness. Memorials and commemorative events are held annually to honor those lost, while survivors and their families continue to rebuild their lives. The disaster serves as a stark reminder of nature’s power and the need for continued vigilance in disaster preparedness.

As we look back on this tragic event, we also celebrate the resilience of the human spirit. The 2004 tsunami changed the world, not just in terms of geography and infrastructure, but in fostering a global sense of empathy and interconnectedness that continues to inspire humanitarian efforts today.

Conclusion

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was a tragedy of unimaginable proportions, but it also revealed humanity's capacity for compassion, resilience, and innovation. Twenty years on, the lessons learned from that day continue to shape our approach to disaster management, ensuring that we are better prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

Let us honor the memory of those we lost by committing to a safer, more resilient future for all.

Thank you for reading.

[spanishskulduggery]

Hello! I learned all my Spanish by myself and manage to figure out what I need with spanishdict (thanks to you for mentioning it! And all the other things on your blog!!!) but I am a bit lost on a thing and I don't know if I am lacking in some common knowledge or is it some weird Spanish thing. There's a line in a song that goes "Que México duele cabrón, la Roma ya no se siente". The band is from Colombia (Morat, song called Debí Suponerlo). What are they talking about??? Thank you!

It's essentially saying that "Mexico now hurts a lot, and La Roma doesn't feel the same (without you)"

I would assume it's like visiting somewhere like if you had a honeymoon in Paris and then broke up the feeling of "oh now Paris is spoiled for me"

But especially in Mexico cabrón [which generally is an insult like "asshole", but literally is "male goat" or "cuckold"] can be used like "a lot"

So idiomatically it's like "Mexico hurts like a bitch now, and La Roma doesn't feel the same without you"

-

Cultural Note: La Roma is the colloquial name for Colonia Roma a historical district in Mexico City.

A colonia "colony" was the term for "neighborhood" or "enclave", and Roma from Rome - Colonia Roma or now La Roma was the place where wealthy Europeans would live in Mexico City. At the time, La Roma was a wealthy neighborhood for the European aristocrats of the city. It's today kind of like the hipster center of Mexico City.

Semi-related: The idea of colonia as an enclave is sort of the same as "Little" or "Quarter"; like in the US there's "Little Italy", "the French Quarter", or "Chinatown", that kind of vibe as an enclave of a specific ethnicity, but in Mexico it was usually Europeans, black people, and indigenous people - so La Roma, and other districts nearby like "La Romita" [little Rome] were more commonly associated with the Europeans, and then became more hipster and artsy. When France briefly took over Mexico there were some colonias that we might consider the "French Quarter" of some cities.

The colonias in Mexico typically refer to additions to the city that were made in the 20th century and many of them started as a way to make newer buildings for wealthier people. It would be like if you lived in a colonial city and then a bunch of Europeans decided to build mansions around you. Except in Mexico's case, a lot of them fell into disrepair or suffered earthquake damage, and then other things happened etc etc

Suffice it to say La Roma in a place name, one of the historical districts of Mexico City, and they're using some Mexican slang in the lyrics using cabrón as an adverb to mean "like a bitch" / "a lot"

Additional Note: You'll find that a lot of places have some European-ish names. Venezuela is a despective "little Venice", Cartagena de las Indias in Colombia is from Cartagena in Spain but it literally means "Carthaginian" from Carthage from the Phoenicians

Gamma-ray Burst Strikes Earth from Distant Exploding Star - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/gamma-ray-burst-strikes-earth-from-distant-exploding-star-technology-org/

Gamma-ray Burst Strikes Earth from Distant Exploding Star - Technology Org

An enormous burst of gamma rays, detected by ESA’s Integral space telescope, has struck Earth. The blast caused a significant disturbance in our planet’s ionosphere.

Such disturbances are usually associated with energetic particle events on the Sun but this one resulted from an exploding star almost two billion light-years away. Analysing the effects of the blast could provide information about the mass extinctions in Earth’s history.

At 14:21 BST / 15:21 CEST on 9 October 2022, an extremely bright and long-lasting gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected by many of the high-energy satellites in orbit close to the Earth, including ESA’s Integral mission. 

The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (Integral) was launched by ESA in 2002 and has been detecting gamma-ray bursts almost every day since that time. However, GRB 221009A, as the blast was named, was anything but ordinary. “It was probably the brightest gamma-ray burst we have ever detected,” says Mirko Piersanti, University of L’Aquila, Italy, and lead author of the team publishing these results today. 

Gamma-ray bursts were once mysterious events but are now recognised to be the outpouring of energy from exploding stars called supernovae, or from the collision of two super-dense neutron stars. 

“We’ve been measuring gamma-ray bursts since the 1960s, and this is the strongest ever measured,” says co-author Pietro Ubertini, National Institute for Astrophysics, Rome, Italy, and the principal investigator for Intergral’s IBIS instrument. So strong in fact that its nearest rival on record is ten times weaker. Statistically, a GRB as strong as GRB 221009A arrives at Earth only once every 10 000 years. 

During the 800 seconds that the gamma rays were impacting, the burst delivered enough energy to activate lightning detectors in India. Instruments in Germany picked up signs that Earth’s ionosphere was disturbed for several hours by the blast. This extreme amount of energy gave the team the idea to look for the burst’s effects on Earth’s ionosphere. 

The ionosphere is the layer of Earth’s upper atmosphere that contains electrically charged gases called plasma. It stretches from around 50 km to 950 km in altitude. Researchers refer to it as the top-side ionosphere above 350 km, and the bottom-side ionosphere below that. The ionosphere is so tenuous that spacecraft can hold orbits in most of the ionosphere. 

One of those spacecraft is the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES), also known as Zhangheng, a Chinese-Italian space mission. It was launched in 2018 and monitors the top side of the ionosphere for changes in its electromagnetic behaviour.

Its primary mission is to study possible links between changes in the ionosphere and the occurrence of seismic events such as earthquakes, but it can also study the impact of solar activity on the ionosphere. 

Both Mirko and Pietro are part of the science team for CSES and they realised that if the GRB had created a disturbance, CSES should have seen it. But they could not be sure. “We had looked for this effect from other GRBs in the past but had seen nothing,” says Pietro.

In the past, GRBs have been spotted affecting the bottom-side ionosphere during the night, when the solar influence is removed, but never in the top side. This had led to the belief that by the time it reached Earth, the blast from a GRB was no longer powerful enough to produce a variation in the ionospheric conductivity leading to an electric field variation.  

This time, however, when the scientists looked, their luck was different. The effect was obvious and strong. For the first time ever, they saw an intense perturbation in the form of a strong electric field variation in the top-side ionosphere. “It is amazing. We can see things that are happening in deep space but are also affecting Earth,” says Erik Kuulkers, ESA Project Scientist.

This particular GRB took place in a galaxy almost 2 billion light-years away – hence two billion years ago – yet it still had enough energy to affect Earth. While the Sun is typically the primary source of radiation robust enough to affect Earth’s ionosphere, this GRB triggered instruments generally reserved for studying the immense explosions in the Sun’s atmosphere known as solar flares.

“Notably, this disturbance impacted the very lowest layers of Earth’s ionosphere, situated just tens of kilometres above our planet’s surface, leaving an imprint comparable to that of a major solar flare,” says Laura Hayes, research fellow and solar physicist at ESA. 

This imprint came in the form of an increase in ionisation in the bottom-side ionosphere. It was detected in very low frequency radio signals that bounce between the ground and Earths lower ionosphere. “Essentially, we can say that the ionosphere ‘moved’ down to lower altitudes, and we detected this in how the radio waves bounce along the ionosphere,” explains Laura, who published these results in 2022.  

It reinforces the idea that a supernova in our own galaxy might have much more serious consequences. “There has been a great debate about the possible consequences of a gamma-ray burst in our own galaxy,” says Mirko. 

In the worst case, the burst would not only affect the ionosphere, it could also damage the ozone layer, allowing dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the Sun to reach Earth’s surface. Such an effect has been speculated to be a possible cause of some of the mass extinction events known to have taken place on Earth in the past. But to investigate the idea, we will need a lot more data.

Now that they know exactly what to search for, the team has already started looking back into the data collected by CSES and correlating it with the other gamma-ray bursts seen by Integral.

And while they can only go back to 2018, when CSES was launched, a follow-up mission has already been planned, ensuring that this fascinating new window into the way Earth interacts with even the very distant Universe will now remain open.

I am Death, the Destroyer of Worlds, bringing death to all living things: Chronicles of a prehistoric nuclear apocalypse

A few people doubt that at the turn of the XXV-XXX millennia BC, a war with the use of nuclear weapons raged on our planet. This is confirmed both in the ancient Indian texts "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata", and scars in the form of funnels from explosions of nuclear warheads on the surface of the Earth.

There are more than a hundred craters with a diameter of 2 to 3 kilometers, whose age is 25-35 thousand years, as well as two huge craters, the age of which also fits into this time interval.

The first is located in South America and its diameter is 40 kilometers, the second is found in South Africa with a diameter of 120 kilometers. One of the largest battles of that war with the use of nuclear weapons took place in the territories of today's India and Pakistan.

Then this was part of the Rama empire. As a result of archaeological excavations at the site of the capital of the vanished empire, Mohenjo-Daro, human skeletons were found with traces of radioactive damage and sand baked to glass, exactly like that found in modern nuclear test sites.

There are two versions of the nuclear apocalypse that happened in the Earth's past. In the first case, the Asuras and reptilians, aliens from outer space, fought. Asuras lost the war and tried to hide in their underground shelters.

However, earthquakes and floods caused by a nuclear cataclysm on a planetary scale destroyed their underground cities and forced them to rise to the surface again. There, the invaders who colonized the Earth were already waiting for them, and the Asura race practically ceased to exist.

In the second case, the conflict allegedly took place between the Atlanteans (Aswins) and the Lemurians, representatives of the Rama empire. As a result of nuclear bombardments by the Atlanteans, which they carried out from their aircraft - vimanas, the Rama empire was almost completely wiped off the face of the Earth.

This is how it is described in the Mahabharata epic: “In all its splendor, red-hot columns of smoke rose and flames brighter than ten thousand suns ... the corpses burned beyond recognition. The survivors lost their nails and hair. The birds are gray. All food became unusable. The soldiers who escaped the fire rushed into the water to wash away the ashes ... ".

On the face are all signs of radiation sickness in survivors and radiation contamination of animals and food. Given that the surviving soldiers rushed to wash off the radioactive ash, the Lemurians were well aware of the concept of "radiation". Also, do not forget that traces of nuclear bombings were found on different continents of our planet.

This is explained quite simply. The Lemurians also had their own air fleet, consisting of vimanas. It can also be assumed that they also possessed nuclear weapons and nothing could prevent them from using it on the territory of the Atlantean empire as a weapon of retaliation.

And what happened in the end? According to the ancient texts, after the completion of the bombing, the whole planet was raining radioactive rain for three days and three nights. This event is mentioned by almost all the peoples of the world, including in the legends of the Maya, the people of the Far North and the Australian Aborigines. And a little later, the Great Flood happened. The earth, as best it could, washes away traces of radiation contamination.

It is possible to treat this kind of information in different ways, but there are definitely all the prerequisites for the fact that the Earth was already once subjected to the destructive effects of nuclear weapons. 

And it seems that it is no longer so important who and with whom then fought, given that at present we do not see either Asuras, or Reptilians, or Atlanteans with Lemurians on the streets of our cities. Apparently, in the end, it is impossible to win a nuclear war. Read the full article

Natural Signs Of His Coming: Pay Attention

I was watching a video on YouTube about Billy Graham, the video is titled “When God Gets Your Attention / Billy Graham Classic”. It was made known on the video that the location was at Portland, OR and dated in the year of 1992 when he said the following things which are included in this piece of mine.

The parts which caught my attention was when he mentioned “then there have been gigantic geophysical and ecological calamities across the world.”

That caught my attention because a couple of thoughts I think are related to it came to my mind; thoughts about what is currently taking place in and across our world today with regards to the weather and many natural disasters which have been occurring in various places. Yes sure, over the history of humanity and its habitation on Earth there have been past incidents of disasters as I have stated above; although I might not have been present during those ages of peoples who had experienced it or been alive at the times of such things nevertheless I feel and think that there’s something different about this modern age.

There seems to have been a gradual decay and ruin that has been and is taking place, not just regarding nature but morally as well. It is the consideration of such matters that line up with what the Holy Bible has been speaking / prophesying about and it is because of the truths of the Living God’s Word that I cannot deny it is unfolding in front of our faces and coming to fulfillment. However, I am going to continue with the direction of the point or message I am trying to bring across.

So as I was saying. . .Billy Graham spoke of those things and said that there were disasters such as tropical storms, one of the worse hurricanes to slam into Hawaii with that hurricane being the worse of this century; there had been another hurricane called Andrew which occurred in Florida. There were more disasters he read from the newspaper (from that week alone) which included a typhoon called Sybil, additional tropical storms Payne and Rosalyn; monsoon floods took place in North India and Pakistan; earthquakes in Zaire and Nicaragua with minor shakes in different parts of the world.

The other part of this sermon which caught my attention was when he mentioned that his grandson was assisting in the aftermath of a hurricane which took place in Florida and as he did that he saw on the top of a roof something somebody had written and it read “okay God, you got our attention-now what?”

That sentence is the one that made me think, there are and have been so many natural disasters of which in particular have taken place in 2023 alone and the date today is only the 3rd of September 2023. So from January-September 2023 there have been multiple natural catastrophes such as:

unusual rising (heating up) and in contrast dropping (freezing) weather temperatures

heat waves

ice/tropical storms

cyclones

tornadoes

wildfires

typhoons

floods

earthquakes

droughts

landslides

*to name a few,but may not be limited to these as the year has not ended yet.

So with these things in mind there were definite deaths, definite eye openers (I hope), possible trauma and feelings which came with these catastrophes. There’s something about near death if not actual death experiences which make people potentially reconsider their lives, how they are living it and the actual meaning thereof and it is during such stages which people try to seek those answers while others continue with their lives or try to with feelings of indignation, resentment and even anger. . .directed towards God. In some cases, experiences as such also become reasons of why people say that they have decided not to believe in God anymore or as a continual belief of theirs.

Once again I state the sentence that was written on that roof “okay God you have our attention-now what?”

It might sound or seem harsh but if our attention or focus is not on God is it really that far-fetched to think that He would take away whatever or whomever it was or is which has hindered our sight from being turned towards Him? Is it impossible that something would be allowed to happen to us in which would redirect our focus back to Him or cause us to repent and turn to Him? As it is said in the Holy Bible that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Things could happen to anybody whether they are God fearing or not and in those are trials each one is tested. We are tested to see where we stand, if that is for/with God even after something terrible happens or not, with the possibility of turning away from Him because of what happened. God shows no favouritism so I think it is possible for something to happen in order for our attention or focus to be turned to God (if it has in fact, not been on Him). The Holy Bible has many instances where the Israelites turned away from God and to their idol worship with the result being their exile into the different kingdoms; apart from other testimonies in the Holy Bible of things which happened because people didn’t turn their attention to God and continued in their sin.

The natural disasters are, I think, only the physical, earthly symptoms of what is occurring in the spiritual realm.

We are in the last days and Jesus Christ is coming back, with the signs which were foretold in the Holy Bible, showing us (who are His followers and who are keeping watch) that He truly is returning.

I conclude posing these questions to you fellow reader:

Do you know Jesus Christ?

Are you ready for His return?

Are you saved? Born again?

Do you have faith in Jesus Christ?

If the answers are no, I urge you to turn away from the wickedness of this world and from a lifestyle of sin (it is hard but it is not impossible with Jesus Christ). I urge you to give your heart to Him, to seek Him and live for Him in your entirety and faithfully.

If you do not know about Him, the New Testament of the Holy Bible is a start and go to church. Jesus Christ died for our sins on the Cross, He loves us and wants to save us from sin so please give Him the chance to change your life, to heal you and cleanse you. He is knocking on the door of your life, are you going to receive Him? Be blessed and take care.

Tuesday, 21 March

Today is Tuesday, March 21st and I'm currently in Delhi, India. Moments ago, I felt the ground beneath me shake and quickly ran outside the building where I'm staying. After things settled down a bit, I went back inside and turned on the news. It turns out that there was indeed an earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.7 on the Richter scale in Afghanistan and 5.5 in India. The epicenter was in Afghanistan. I'm feeling incredibly grateful that I'm safe and unharmed.

Today, I realized that there are still two things that I have yet to experience - the rush of torturing someone and the thrill of witnessing gore. I didn't want to die without experiencing these things, no matter the cost. It is a burning desire that consumes me and drives me forward, no matter the consequences and I therefore am grateful to be safe.

[ad_1] External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday marked the 20th anniversary of the Quad, emphasising its progress from providing a “shared response” to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami into a “vital force stability, progress and prosperity” in the Indo-Pacific region. He further reaffirmed India’s commitment, alongside Australia, Japan, and the United States, to addressing the region’s needs. Sharing a post on X, Jaishankar wrote, “Two decades ago, the idea of Quad began with a shared response to the Indian Ocean tsunami.

Earlier in the day, commemorating the 20th anniversary of Quad cooperation, India, Australia, Japan, and the United States highlighted the grouping’s origins in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. In a joint statement released by the Secretary of State of the United States of America and the Foreign Ministers of Australia, India, and Japan, the group said, “Twenty years ago, in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Australia, India, Japan, and the United States came together in service to the people of our region for the first time as the grouping now known as the Quad. The tsunami was one of the worst disasters in history, claiming the lives of nearly a quarter million people and displacing 1.7 million across 14 countries. Together, our four countries contributed over 40,000 emergency responders, working with other partners across the Indo-Pacific region to support millions of people affected by the catastrophe. We honor the memories of those no longer with us and recognise the survivors and the families of those who were lost.” The statement added, “Our foundational commitment to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief remains strong. We continue to work side-by-side to prepare for and respond quickly and effectively to disasters across the region. In 2024, our four countries collectively supported disaster preparedness and life-saving relief efforts across the Indo-Pacific, and we continue to build on those efforts to identify new ways to respond rapidly to humanitarian crises and disasters.” The group further said that over the past 20 years, the Quad has evolved from an initial collaboration for disaster relief into a dynamic partnership committed to addressing the challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.

In a joint statement released by the Secretary of State of the United States of America and the Foreign Ministers of Australia, India, and Japan, the group said, “Twenty years ago, in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Australia, India, Japan, and the United States came together in service to the people of our region for the first time as the grouping now known as the Quad. The tsunami was one of the worst disasters in history, claiming the lives of nearly a quarter million people and displacing 1.7 million across 14 countries. Together, our four countries contributed over 40,000 emergency responders, working with other partners across the Indo-Pacific region to support millions of people affected by the catastrophe. We honor the memories of those no longer with us and recognise the survivors and the families of those who were lost.” The statement added, “Our foundational commitment to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief remains strong. We continue to work side-by-side to prepare for and respond quickly and effectively to disasters across the region. In 2024, our four countries collectively supported disaster preparedness and life-saving relief efforts across the Indo-Pacific, and we continue to build on those efforts to identify new ways to respond rapidly to humanitarian crises and disasters.” The group further said that over the past 20 years, the Quad has evolved from an initial collaboration for disaster relief into a dynamic partnership committed to addressing the challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.
