Owing to its long coastline, high density of population and large number of urban centers along the coast, tropical cyclones over the time are having a greater impact on the community and damage the infrastructure. Secondly, the climate change is warming up oceans to increase both the intensity and frequency of cyclones. Hence, it is important to garner all the information and critically assess the impact and manangement of the cyclones. Cyclone Gaja was one of the major cyclones to hit the Tamil Nadu coast in November 2018. It lfeft a devastating tale of destruction on the cyclone path damaging houses, critical infrastructure for essential services, uprooting trees, affecting livelihoods etc in its trail.

    GOVERNMENT OF INDIA CENTRAL WATER COMMISSION FLOOD FORECAST MONITORING DIRECTORATE Army Men Rescuing Marooned People in Assam Flood June, 2012 FLOOD FORECASTING AND WARNING NETWORK PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL REPORT 2012 NEW DELHI – 110066 April 2013 Member (RM) Central Water Commission Sewa Bhawan, R. K. Puram New Delhi-110066 PREFACE Central Water Commission had started Flood Forecasting & Warning service in India in November 1958 by setting one forecasting station at Old Delhi Bridge, for the national capital, on the river Yamuna. Today, its network of Flood Forecasting and Warning Stations gradually extended covering almost all the major inter-state flood prone river basins throughout the country. It comprises of 175 Flood Forecasting Stations including 28 inflow forecast in 9 major river basins and 71 sub basins of the country. It covers 15 states besides NCT Delhi and UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli. The flood forecasting activities of the Commission are being performed every year from May to October through its 20 field divisions which issue flood forecasts and warnings to the civil authorities of the states as well as to other organizations of the central & state governments, as and when the river water level touches or is expected to cross the warning level at the flood forecasting stations. The flood season 2012 witnessed no unprecedented flood events in any of the river systems in the country. High Flood Situation was witnessed at 14 stations in Rivers Brahmaputra, Jia-Bharali, Kopili, Beki and Kushiyara in Assam, River Raidak –I in West Bengal, Rivers Ghaghra and Rapti in Uttar Pradesh & River Ghaghra in Bihar.

This is eighth report after I have taken over as the Project Director. The year 2012-13 was a mixed bag of achievements and little despair on rice production front. The delayed monsoon had cast a gloomy shadow in the beginning of the season. But late rains during August and September buffered enough to post another 100 plus million tonnes of rice production during the second consecutive year.

SiddiRaju * Associate Professor, Dept of MBA, Siddhrath Institute of Engineering and Tech, Puttur, Chittoor, Andhrapradesh ** Associate Professor, Dept of Civil Eng., Siddhrath Institute of Engineering and Tech, Puttur, Chittoor, Andhrapradesh ABSTRACT Climate is a complex and interactive system. Climate is the long-term average of a region's weather events, thus the phrase ‘climate change’ represents a change in these long-term weather patterns. With the advent of the stability and statistics era, Climate data series started working as powerful basis for risk management. The system post-1970s was revolutionized with the arrival of Satellites which boosted the science of “climate system” and global monitoring. Another important issue Global Warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate patterns. By continuing research and development the climate change has to be estimated and also measures to be taken for reducing damage of assets and human lives and protection of environment.

  • Tropical Cyclone Nilam: Maldives, Sri Lanka and India
    EHA, WHO, SEARO Situation Report (SR-1) 01 November 2012 Emergency and Humanitarian Action (EHA) Unit Regional Office for South-East Asia (SEARO) World Health Organization (WHO) Tropical Cyclone Nilam: Maldives, Sri Lanka and India Highlights Severe weather conditions on Monday 29 October, including a tornado and heavy rain, have resulted in flooding of up to five feet in the Maldives, affecting 24 islands. When passing through northeastern Sri Lankan near Trincomalee on 30 October, Tropical Cyclone Nilam affected 16 out of 25 districts in the island. The storm later intensified and hit the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. It made landfall on 31 October, 2012. Winds of a speed of up to 101 km/h were reached. The capital of Tamil Nadu, the coastal city of Chennai which is home to 4.5 million, was largely spared. Maldives: In the Maldives, a total of 142 households were severely affected in the two worst hit islands, HA Hoarafushi and Hdh. Nolhiravaramfaru.
