I think the problem is absence of cyclone alert, absence of preparation, and slow relief work.

Cyclone Nargis is a Category 3 storm packed winds of 190 km (120 mile) per hour. However BBC quoted a wrong info that It was the world’s deadliest storm in ten years. Only last November (2007) The hurricane Sidr made a downfall in Southern Bangladesh – it was a Category-4 equivalent tropical cyclone with 215 km/h wind speed and water surge of Tidal waves reaching up to a height of 3 metres (9.8 ft) were reported. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidr)

It may be noted that Bangladesh did prepare a lot for SIDR. A total of 2 million people in Bangladesh evacuated to emergency shelters. Otherwise the death toll would be catastrophic. Most of those who were dead defied the warnings and stayed home. The after cyclone relief and rescue operations were also swift. Over 40,000 Red Cross volunteers were deployed to order residents in the 15 affected provinces into special cyclone and flood shelters. In contrast to the Burmese situation, The Bangladeshi military forces played a significant role in providing helicopters and boats to reach to remote locations and of course helping in relief and rescue.

What did the Burmese Government do to protect its people? Eyewitnesses say that even no forces were seen to help cleanup the debris in the capital.

That is a good question about whether or not the military was aware of the cyclone. I think it would be dependent on how many of the military was effected by the cyclone. If no one was injured by it, you probabloy can make the assumption that the military knew in advance about it, but if there were many military deaths related to the cyclone then they probably were not aware.

it is unfortunate that thousands of lives is lost forget about the properties and goods being destroyed, by the nargis in Myanmar.

the people said that government have not warn them of the impending danger. I wonder if the military government knows it them self or where also caught by surprise.

what about the other neighboring countries. in an advance country people are alway warn well on time and the evacuation executed to a safer places.

the outer space being congested with satellites, was it not noticed by any country ? it they do, have they not have the moral responsibility to warn Myanmar?

it should have been the best justice realized, on the part of advance countries towards the developing or poor nations- but they have not rise to the occasion. it is absolute absence of humane.
