         | I think the "work" in particular was a rough choice because

         | 
         | Something like "deadliest tsunami triggered preparations for
         | the next one" or "deadliest tsunami inspired readiness for the
         | next one" might be better.
         | 
         | Or even "lessons from the 2004 tsunami help us prepare for the
         | next one".
