It was recognized at the outset that Thailand had not requested international financial assistance following the tsunami, but that technical assistance, including from international actors such as the United Nations system, had been welcomed. It was also stressed that while a tsunami of the scale experienced on 26 December 2004 is a relatively rare event, Indian Ocean countries and their neighbours in the Asia and Pacific region are host to a wide range of natural and other hazards that have significant adverse potential. As such, lessons to be drawn from the tsunami response should have a broader scope and be relevant in relation to natural disasters of varying scale and frequency.
