[World Champion poker player, Phil Hellmuth, Jr., will host these online events.] As with 9/11 and the Asian tsunami, watching television coverage of Katrina is incredibly upsetting. I asked myself what I could do to help. Having so many celebrity friends prepared to help has warmed my heart as I continued to reach out and ask for more assistance, ... I believe our efforts will make a difference.
Phil Hellmuth
We could never study an ancient tsunami without having some man-made materials surviving from that time. This temple is our link to that.
Thyagarajan Satyamurthy
Given that the tsunami killed 150,000 people [in Southeast Asia], I frankly think we responded pretty well to a storm that might have done the same, given the density of the population in the area where it hit. Essentially, Katrina was a nuclear bomb without a mushroom cloud or radiation.
James Carafano
The tsunami is a critical component in the telling of this story. It's a sensitive storytelling issue.
John Dykstra
This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control. We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans.
Norman Mcswain
The Indian Ocean tsunami occurred during their high school senior year, and Hurricane Katrina hit the southern Gulf Region in August, as many students began college. This widespread rise in student attitudes reflecting social concerns and civic responsibility could be a reaction to the worst global and national disasters witnessed in their lifetime.
John Pryor
The response to Pakistan was quicker and more long lasting, and more supplies (were delivered) than we had done in the tsunami relief effort.
Rear Admiral Michael Lefever
Did you know that the word "tsunami," which is now being used worldwide, is a Japanese word? This is indicative of the extent to which Japan has been subject to frequent tsunami disasters in the past.
Junichiro Koizumi
We've only played 10 or 12 shows with Matt. Markku left a month and a half, maybe two, ago. We met Matt through Chris, our drummer. They both come from up north (the Bay area), and Matt was playing in a band called Tsunami Bomb. He was great, so we called him in.
Dan Estrin
Your personal involvement in the post-tsunami reconstruction efforts of our country has been a great source of strength to all of us.
Mahinda Rajapakse
This crisis might be getting less attention than the tsunami did, but the number of people needing help is even greater. The severity of this crisis means assistance is needed on a huge scale.
Barbara Stocking
However, it did not happen then as the requisite permission from the Indian Navy could not be obtained due to strategic reasons. After the tsunami, he contacted us and we thought it was imperative for the islands now.
Samir Acharya
We expect a lot from tomorrow's donor conference. We hope to see the same response to Pakistan as to the tsunami, but we are far from there because the financing is far from adequate.
Christiane Berthiaume
We need to recognize we may be about to experience our equivalent of the Asian tsunami, in terms of the damage and the numbers of people that can be killed.
Ivor Van Heerden
This is our tsunami. You're going to be looking at hundreds dead along the coast of Mississippi.
Aj Holloway
We still have 1,500 or 1,400 people unidentified from the tsunami. I don't think this one will take that long, but I don't know. There is still a lot of water.
Robert Jensen
It's a tsunami every six months.
Ross Mountain
What's envisioned for the Indian Ocean is a new tsunami warning system.
Harold Mofjeld
For people to walk in feces in the wealthiest country in the world is an abomination -- for whatever reason, ... When the tsunami hit, we got there in 48 hours, yet it took days to get to New Orleans. What does that say?
James Harris
We know that there has been some excellent work by governments and nongovernmental organizations in the wake of the tsunami -- the speed and scale of the response meant that lives were saved and many predicted outbreaks of epidemics were contained -- but it is not enough.
Miloon Kothari
In (the) tsunami-affected region, we are trying to do that, to say 'This is an opportunity to go about things the right way and take the time to do it right.
Margaret Arnold
He's probably one of the key experts in tsunami risk.
Jody Sydor
And it's different than the tsunami in Asia, where the disaster was half a world away. This time it's so close to home. It's affecting a place that many of us have visited and are familiar with. Some of us know people who live there or have relatives in the region. It's much harder to separate ourselves from this.
Daniel Pearson
A tsunami of residential development is coming. I really don't believe you can overbuild in that market, there's just so much pent-up demand.
Wayne Sisco
It's twice what we collected for the tsunami. We've never had an outpouring like this.
Rabbi Daniel Freelander
Katrina, tsunami, cost of living now.
Bill Hentzler
We were able to maintain 6 percent growth this year despite increase of world oil prices, tsunami effect and many more in the country.
Sarath Amunugama
For them, the tsunami was the worst, however. They lost most of their families.
Laurence Christy
This just seemed natural, with the devastation in the South, to do that once again. I don't know that this will be a habit ... but given the gravity of the tsunami and the scope of damage in New Orleans, I think that's why we jumped into the fray and decided to team up.
Ray Carter
It's a beautiful idea that green belts can stop a tsunami, and its aims are commendable. But it isn't true, and it won't work.
Andrew Baird
The whole country is going through this tsunami of public opinion, because there have been abuses. Insensitive and stupid bureaucrats have abused their power.
John Hiscox
There is strong support from the Europe, Asian and Australian markets and reflects the fact that most travelers realize that the tsunami was a one-[time] event and, in fact, want to contribute to the region's recovery by supporting tourism.
Peter Hook
This is not a ripple effect. This is a tsunami.
Jennifer Dunn
If tsunami and [US Hurricane] Katrina can be assisted, why can Pakistan not be assisted where maybe we're poorer and the people affected are poorer? Is the world community that lacking in conscience?
Gen Musharraf
It seems the whole world has reached out, and continues to reach out. That's been the success of the work of the tsunami -- it's been a world-wide effort.
Sister Shanini D'souza
This contract is going to exasperate a widespread problem. I call it a tsunami because it's out there and we know it's coming.
Henry Scheier
Putting a facility packed with radioactive material at Hawai'i's main airport, in the middle of urban Honolulu, and in a tsunami evacuation zone is almost asking for a natural disaster, air crash or terrorist attack. It is outrageous that the NRC has refused to conduct any analysis of the threats to the safety and health of me and my community that Pa'ina Hawaii's irradiator would pose.
David Paulson
The timing is not right for us to record a song about the future when so many people have lost their lives. We will proceed in a few months, but right now it's about helping those who are dealing with the tsunami disaster and that should honestly be the focus.
Jermaine Dupri
It's just shocking how far off the charts 9/11, the tsunami and the hurricanes are.
Patrick Rooney
Giving for the tsunami was literally off the charts. There may be an issue of donor fatigue, it's too early to tell, but it looks like giving for the Pakistan earthquake is more typical of the historical response by U.S. donors to international emergencies.
Patrick Rooney
By pulling together a team where and when it was needed, we were able to mobilize $4 million worth of aid within three months of the December 2004 tsunami in Asia. We were punching well above our weight.
Randy Martin
As long as it's on land, it's not going to produce a tsunami. It has to be on water.
Doug Christensen
These kids are 80 million alone in the U.S. They're like a tidal wave. And we've all been sitting on the beach wondering what kind of day it's going to be and no one noticed the tsunami just off the horizon, one hundred yards high, that's about to sweep us all away. We've got the first generation to grow up digital, and you know it.
Don Tapscott
We have not heard of any tsunami hitting anywhere.
Jan Egeland
Failure to immediately comply with human rights standards will deepen the human-induced tragedy already inflicted on the survivors of the tsunami.
Miloon Kothari
Well, here on the coast, ... the possibility of an earthquake, which would result in a tsunami, is our main concern here.
David Davis
We need to have a sense of urgency here like we had in the tsunami.
Jan Egeland
A destructive tsunami is not expected from the earthquake.
Stuart Weinstein
We have planned to double and treble our efforts to overcome our constraints. Post-tsunami reconstruction will be carried out equitably in the South, the North and the East, in our country.
Mahinda Rajapakse
In the last 12 months alone, the public response to tragic events such as the South East Asian earthquake, the Asian tsunami and the attacks on London on 7 July have brought home to many of us the real benefit that can come from the support we provide.
Paul Goggins
When that tsunami hit, they sent planeloads of supplies and U.S. soldiers. Where's our help?
Jim Morgan
Similar to the [SE Asian] tsunami tragedy, this hurricane is another dreadful natural disaster that these ruthless hackers are exploiting in order to break into computers for spamming, extortion, and theft.
Gregg Mastoras
We want the response that America had for the tsunami.
Deion Sanders
I think we left New Zealand the same day as the tsunami hit so we all remember what happened.
Sanath Jayasuriya
The best description I have is that it was tsunami-like.
John Saltarelli
The tsunami was a really good example of altruistic giving. (Most Americans) didn't know anyone there or had a strong connection; 9/11 had an element of patriotism. For this hurricane, the vast miles of destruction, plus the raw numbers affected, is one of the things driving that.
Patrick Rooney
The tsunami itself has brought the two parties to the negotiating table to allow free passage for the humanitarian workers to be able to carry out their normal duties, in which they have really excelled.
Bakhtiar Abdullah
I also encourage our borough's businesses, churches and synagogues to replicate their wonderful efforts after the tsunami to now do what they can to support victims of what has been described as one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history.
Joseph Bruno
This is something we could do ourselves. We did it for the tsunami, but these are people in our own country who need help, and this is how we can do it.
Brenda Egenlauf
As seen most recently from war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, from tsunami-ravaged South Asia and from Hurricane Katrina's landfall along the Gulf, ... CNN has shown that it is capable of balancing vigorous reporting with respect for private concerns.
Jim Walton
We didn't know what (the deposits) meant, because we never studied the possibility of a tsunami. That angle never occurred to us.
Thyagarajan Satyamurthy
It was like our tsunami.
Vincent Creel
After 9/11 there were some of these sites. It was much greater after the tsunami, and it's even greater after Katrina.
Louis Reigel
When the tsunami came, they had climbed on to a hill. They kept walking, they got lost, and were wandering in the forest, resting, then walking again, ... They traveled from the western side of the island to the eastern side until we saved them.
Shaukat Hussain
If the tsunami was coming, it would have come by now.
Kapil Sibal
Several hotel guests have complained to me that they have seen no map, no signs, not even a brochure on what to do if a tsunami occurs. People who sleep in the rooms will not hear the warning from sirens if the hotel has not installed a warning system in their rooms.
Smith Thammasaroj
We hope they'll take into consideration our situation. We've had our own tsunami.
Joey Rodriguez
We have written to the finance ministers of the G-8 countries. We have asked basically for a total of five years because we are tsunami affected and think it will take that amount of time for rehabilitation.
Sarath Amunugama
There's been theories all the way from, 'Has the tsunami ... hurricanes and the effect of environmental factors created mold levels that are unprecedented? Right now, we're trying to deal with the close-in factors of ensuring we don't have a formula problem or a contamination problem in our manufacturing facilities. And nothing indicates that we do.
Ron Zarrella
The UK is the largest European investor in Sri Lanka and I especially look forward to meeting with UK NGOs and businesses working on post-tsunami reconstruction.
Brian Pearson
Although we're unlikely to see flooding in UK like that caused by the Boxing Day tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, there is still a significant flood threat here from extreme rainfall and coastal surges.
Barbara Young
I think if we can solve this peacefully it is a very great achievement. It is very important to create a peaceful condition as right now we are in the reconstruction and rehabilitation process in the aftermath of the tsunami.
Sofyan Djalil
We have to think tsunami, not Katrina.
Justin Dombrowski
You can imagine the kind of problems you can solve with this, like a tsunami warning device that would scrutinize huge amounts of information from the ocean and then analyze that quite quickly, or for homeland security applications, where you need to scan images of people and match those images against large databases.
Chris Maher
I can say right off the bat that he's focused on the work of his foundation, which among many activities is treating hundreds of thousands of AIDS patients around the world, fighting childhood obesity here at home and helping tsunami and hurricane victims.
Jay Carson
When there was the tsunami last year, I thought that was the end of the tourism industry but we recovered very fast, in only six months.
Juthamas Siriwan
At this point, you should go with the majors. Now is the time to stick with your large, name-brand charities. Someone who did a good job with the tsunami effort is probably prepared to do a good job in New Orleans and Mississippi.
Trent Stamp
There are about 1,200 Congolese who die every single day from the effects of the conflict. That's a tsunami every six months..
Ross Mountain
The election is not a tsunami where you need the help of an army to rescue people.
Ibrahim Lipumba
[That announcement came on the heels of 30,000 layoffs just the day before at aircraft maker Boeing, which expects deliveries to fall seven percent this year, and more than 20 percent in 2002.] This is not a ripple effect, ... This is a tsunami.
Jennifer Dunn
This report shows that there has been a breach of trust -- the trust offered by these supporters in the names of the people who suffered and survived the tsunami.
Ramesh Singh
The ridges focus tsunami waves the way a lens focuses light. They form beams, and if those beams are aimed at coastal communities, the communities can experience high tsunami waves.
Frank Gonzalez
Parents seem to want to provide things, especially experiences, for their kids that maybe they didn't have growing up. And since 9/11, SARS, the tsunami and Katrina, it seems people have a feeling of living more in the moment.
Kurt Kutay
Hawaii is a model -- the (Pacific) Tsunami Warning Center, excellent warning systems for hurricanes, good first-responder services. This whole level of providing assurance is important.
Walter Jamieson
In addition to our initial contribution, we will match each and every donation to hurricane relief efforts made by our nearly 9,000 associates, ... We did the same earlier this year to help with tsunami relief when, together, Health Net and its associates raised more than $112,000. We know that whatever resources we can give to the massive Katrina recovery efforts will be put to good use.
Christian Furchtegott Gellert
I've been up and down the coast from Pensacola (Fla.) to New Orleans, and you can definitely tell that this was ground zero, right here. No one has ever seen anything like this unless they saw the tsunami.
Iabil Garza
They've become much more global in their praying. They see that if we can send our prayers a couple thousand miles, we can send them all the way across the world where there's a tsunami or a landslide.
Bonnie Moore
People are beginning to realize with the tsunami and Katrina ... its a chance to put your faith into action. They can help here.
Betsy Murphy
There is nothing to worry about at the moment. We are keeping a vigil and there is no rise in the sea to suggest a tsunami is waiting to hit.
Kapil Sibal
When I arrived and looked at the destruction from the tsunami, I told myself, 'We're not going to be able to make an impact in two and a half weeks.' But after we were through, I knew we had left a lasting impression.
Amisha Patel
In a couple weeks we're gong to be doing a group of auctions to benefit the Tsunami Foundation. There will be 25 paintings by local artists from Indonesia.
Holly Macdonald korth
Just as people, after the tsunami, deployed this ad hoc array of Internet boxes and sensor devices in Asia, they will come in this time and do it again.
Paul Saffo
Had the people most affected by this been rich and white, I think the outcome would have been much different. Aid was given almost immediately to the victims of the tsunami and a significant amount of money, might I add. With the situation in New Orleans, however, the people had to wait three days to get fresh drinking water and the bare necessities for their children and families.
Marissa Davis
Our discovery now poses very interesting questions not only about ancient Tamils but also about the history of tsunami.
Thyagarajan Satyamurthy
[He] sees it as one example, but a very good example, of the outpouring of love and support that came from across the province and from across the country to support directly those affected in tsunami regions.
David Spencer
I am not sure the effect will last long, but for now it is a sort of tsunami bonus.
Helen Bradbury
Not only was it the most destructive tsunami in recorded history, but there was an unprecedented amount of data obtained.
Frank Gonzalez
There's very little difference between the two certifications. And a tsunami is a very rare event - anywhere.
Bill Sammler
The current situation on the ground does not justify a tsunami warning.
Kapil Sibal
There was a lot of misinformation that came out after the tsunami hit that the reefs were devastated. We were able to clarify that.
Greg Stone
The tsunami was the first time that countries wanted a say in how their dead were returned home. Now there is movement between countries, and at Interpol, to ask what agreements can be reached to avoid confusion the next time.
Robert Jensen
After every large-scale tragedy — 9/11, the tsunami — people start scamming these fundraisers. We're just being proactive.
Tom Liston
With the tsunami, we realized that the first three or four months are slow: clearing debris, planning how to build on a large scale. We're proud that within one year, we've put 6,000 families back in homes.
Chris Clarke
Last year, it was less due to the tsunami tragedy.
Pinky Mukherjee
The tsunami has done colossal damage. At the same time the tsunami has also brought in a wonderful opportunity. It has made the administration much more transparent, much more sensitive to the needs of the society, more responsible.
Samir Acharya
Today, we saw a son who was extremely distressed at the guilt he feels for not having been able to save his father from the force of the tsunami. Such people urgently need a support system to help them cope with this traumatic experience.
Aphaluck Bhatiasevi
I would say the damage here is much more [than the tsunami], the magnitude of the calamity here is much more.
Gen Musharraf
There is a little bit of shell shock that's going on among donors. The tsunami got a huge response. . . . Katrina got a huge response, and I think that people are a little caught off guard by this one.
Janet Harris
Until I saw the pictures again, I almost forgot how many people are still struggling and still trying to get their lives back together. Do we do enough? We can never do enough. Did we forget about the tsunami? Of course we did. That's just the way life is. We can't just pour money into every place. We've got to go back and see about them.
Rich Antous
It's now part of my life. So I have to be grateful for it. I tend to forget that I was in the middle of a tsunami. Then I am jolted, and I realize that it did happen.
Cherie Gil
There are still 60,000 people in tents today and that's clearly unacceptable a year after the tsunami.
Andrew Steer
Some of these people are literally suffering a second tsunami.
Aphaluck Bhatiasevi
The fact that the tsunami struck a tourist region, and happened right after Christmas, played a role in terms of the generosity. We haven't witnessed that yet with the earthquake. Not at all. We need all the help we can get.
Trevor Rowe
[Reebok has experience: Many of its employees faced the destruction wrought by the tsunami, and it has a long history of building a culture of people who step up.] We don't have to be in the lead, or get the publicity for everything we do, ... What's important is that we pull out all the stops to leverage every way we can make a difference when people are in great need.
Bob Myers
We have noticed in other emergencies, including also the [Asian] tsunami, there's a kind of new opportunity for traffickers.
Brunson Mckinley
What we do not want is either a New Orleans situation or a Tsunami situation -- that is you could predict something was going to happen but you don't do anything about it to prepare.
John Oxford
The tsunami was on a completely different scale.
Eugene Tempel
This has not moved as quickly as I'd hoped. I'm still finding it difficult to come to terms with, to grasp the magnitude of the tsunami. ... It's a long road, and it's hard work.
