A worn evacuation signboard hangs forlornly in Kampung Sambolo, Sukarame village, Carita district, Pandeglang regency, Banten, on Monday. Many people did not heed the information on the board during the Sunda Strait tsunami.

More than two weeks have passed since a tsunami hit the shores of Banten and Lampung, killing 431 and forcing more than 40,000 to flee their homes. The wake of the yearend disaster has left a grim portrait of disaster mitigation.

Bainah, 35, had no idea where she should go when the tsunami hit the Carita coast on the evening of Dec. 22, 2018 in Pandeglang regency, Banten province. In a panic, Bainah fled with her husband and three children.
