effect of the 2004 indian ocean earthquake on the maldives

In the Maldives, 82 people were killed and 26 reported missing and presumed dead after it was hit by a tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on 26 December 2004.http://www.presidencymaldives.gov.mv/v3/pages/media_release_18012005.phtml Two-thirds of the capital city Mal was flooded during the early hours of the day. Outlying low-level atolls were badly affected and some low lying islands, including some of the major resorts, were completely submerged during the high tide. The government declared a state of national disaster (http://www.presidencymaldives.gov.mv/v3/pages/News.php3?NewsID=2702) and a special task force has been set up to provide aid and supplies. Rescue efforts were hampered by loss of communication capability with the over one thousand islands that compose the nation, as well as by the lack of disaster planning.
