Victims of the recent earthquake that hit the Indonesian island of Sumatra are
getting help from their neighbors to the north, survivors of the 2004 tsunami.
In addition to providing material support, these groups bring experience in
coping with disaster.

Victims of last month's earthquake in southwestern Sumatra are getting help
from more than 30 countries.
And from countrymen who only five years ago survived the worst natural disaster
to hit the world in decades, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Volunteers from Indonesia's Aceh province have headed to Padang, the
hardest-hit city in the September 30 quake, which killed hundreds and destroyed
as many as 180,000 buildings.
A coalition called the Aceh Humanitarian Axis is raising money, collecting
donations and sending volunteers.
So far the group has sent 40 volunteers, some of whom are specialists like
doctors and disaster management experts.
Lilianne Fan, an advisor to the governor of Aceh, says the volunteers bring
something to Padang that other volunteers may not have.
"These organizations are made up of people who are directly affected by the
terrible disaster of 2004," Fan said. "So they have themselves experienced what
it is like to be survivors of a devastating natural disaster."
More than 200,000 people died in the 2004 tsunami, the vast majority of them in
Aceh. Since then, the people of Aceh, with the help of the Indonesian
government and international aid organizations, have rebuilt their communities.
She says the Aceh tsunami survivors can relate to the Padang earthquake victims
on a personal level and help them deal with their loss and grief. The Aceh
survivors can share practical knowledge on the process of setting up camps and
clinics, and cleaning up debris. And they can provide contacts and procedures
for securing aid from the government and international organizations.
Fan says the Aceh relief effort is motivated in part by gratitude for all the
help Aceh received after the tsunami.
"It is saying thank you by showing solidarity themselves. It is kind of giving
back the good will that was given to them," she said.
