23. To Do 1 st step List all interviews Edit video and combine audio Store as web contents 2 nd step by team A English translation and compilation Video captioning 2 nd step by team B Use it in awareness campaign in Ha’apai Is.

24. Conclusion Combining a picture makes a video interview much more informative. It is the most efficient way of describing experiences of disasters. Video interviewing of tsunami with about 400 people of Niuatoputapu was successfully made with the help of local people and inexpensive digital camera. Archiving everybody’s experience of disaster in video and handing on the lessons to others is now possible. Make DisasterTube. Thank you. Malo. Vinaka.
