Relief and Reconstruction for Victims of the Indian
Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami
USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service is working with other
government agencies to provide assistance in the recovery from the tsunami that
struck South Asia and Eastern Africa. Much of that assistance involves providing
emergency food supplies made possible by the great productivity of U.S. farms.
Beyond the emergency activities and supplies, the FAS international development
staff will be involved with other U.S. government agencies in planning for the
longer term reconstruction and development of the devastated regions.
