Synopsis: The film, "When disaster strikes: The story of Samiyarpettai" was shot a few months after the tsunami that struck parts of Southern India on 26 December 2004. The film is based on the community based training approaches piloted in Samiyarpettai, a 'model' village identified in Tamil Nadu under the Government of India-UNDP National Disaster Risk Management Programme.
