The numbers are from the USC Tsunami Research Group & other organizations.
The 30,000 figure is probably just an outdated figure for Sumatra alone. Newer figures are about 80,000 throughout Indonesia (Sumatra & Java), 41,000 in Sri Lanka, 10,000 in India, 4,000 in Thailand, 120 in Somalia, 90 in Myanmar, 66 in Malaysia, 46 in the Maldives, 10 in Tanzania, 2 in Bangladesh, 1 in the Seychelles & 1 in Kenya.
