They cause economic decline as countries have to spend billions of dollars rebuilding and recovering from the damage. Stock markets respond to the disaster with downturns and investments in new industries are diverted to recovery.

Millions of people can be homeless without food, clean water, proper sewage disposal and without electricity. Jobs are destroyed along with the businesses. People can not work even if there were jobs since they likely can't get to work without public transit, without clothing, with no personal possessions left. There are little, if any, means of communication immediately following the tsunami. Factories and jobs are eliminated and many never rebuild in the area again. Tourist industries collapse for even years afterward.
