Off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia lies Simeulue Island. The people of Simeulue Island are smart, and they are survivors. Most of the people of Simeulue Island survived the 2004 tsunami, while Banda Aceh, which is near to Simeulue, lost over 100,000 people.

The people of Simeulue have been taught a simple lesson from their grandfathers. “If an earthquake comes, we must always go and look at the beach. If we see a low tide, we must run for the hills.” In 2004, the locals knew a “smong” was coming.

In the Defayan language, “smong” means tsunami. In 2004, they felt the earthquake, saw the low tide, and ran for the hills. And their lives were saved. Most of the 83,000 people survived. The grandfathers often said, “Even the buffalos knew something was wrong when the earthquake occurred. The buffalo ran for the hills.”
