an earthquake measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale and tsunami waves that struck Aceh's coastal areas and several other countries in the Asia-Pacific region that have caused relatively large casualties, massive loss of property and destruction of massive infrastructure and trauma.
Year after year, the tsunami event on December 26 continues to be remembered in the form of a commemoration with various activities that are tasyakur and tafakur, not only involve the government and society, but also people who directly experience the disaster, especially tsunami-affected communities.
Of course, the warnings made on every December 26 are not just memorials of the earthquake and tsunami that happened on that date alone, but also become another important media to always remember back to every other disaster incident that had whacked Aceh.
