QUOTE: January 18, 2011 : “.... UPDATE 23:55 UTC : More precise
data reveal that Enggano is populated with 754 families and 2682
people.
The eastern side of the island has a lot Mangrove forests.
In total 5 different tribes are living on the island. A small airport and
a ferry are the only transportation possibilities to mainland Sumatra. 
Enggano is trying to get the status of a National Park, because of his
unique nature and biodiversity.
As the island has almost no concrete houses and modern buildings,
earthquake shaking will probably not lead to injuries.  The major
danger for the population on the island are tsunamis which cannot be
generated with this limited magnitude.

by the most powerful earthquake to hit the island nation in recorded
history and the tsunami it unleashed -- and even as the earth

was only beginning to be revealed.
Rescue efforts began with the first light as military helicopters
plucked survivors from roofs and carried them to safety.
