Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs Post-landfall, cyclone Tauktae weakened into a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm, bringing strong winds, storm surge and flooding to coastal areas of Gujarat. It has further weakened into a Severe Cyclonic Storm and is very likely to move north-northeast wards and weaken gradually into a Cyclonic Storm by 1730 hours IST of 18th May 2021.230 COVID-ICU. In Gujarat, the districts of Gir Somnath, Bhavanagar, Amreli, Botad, and Junagarh are the worst affected. Majority of 200,000 people were evacuated from 17 coastal districts of Gujarat to safer destinations and in 2000 shelters are expected to return to their homes by tomorrow. With 16500 houses damaged in Gujarat, about 36,000 people are expected to be in mass shelters for some more time. As of now, evacuated people are getting food and other necessary items in camps to practice CAB, but once they go back to their respective homes, they (plus other families) might be out of ration, hygiene items, loss of livelihood etc. The cleaning, repair and reconstruction of homes will be a major need. Major loss of Mango crop, other crops, huge number of cattle loss has been reported. The electricity and water supply infrastructure losses are being assessed and addressed on the go by state agencies. 629 incidences of power failure were reported, 440 were resolved to restore the electric supply in cyclone affected districts of Gujarat The Gujarat Chief Minister announced the suspension of COVID-19 vaccination drive for two days. In Maharashtra, the 230 COVID-ICU patients shifted from the Jumbo COVID-19 Centres across Mumbai continue to be in other, more resilient hospitals. 43 wall collapse incidences have been recorded in the slums of Mumbai. 977 people are stranded in the sea on three barges and one platform in the Bombay High area. The Indian navy reported it had rescued 177 of the 270 people aboard and that efforts to find survivors were ongoing. Parts of the districts of Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra still do not have electricity supply restored. 120 teams of the power sector are functioning on ground across the state to restore power supply. Approx. 3,500 to 4,000 Ha of standing horticulture has been damaged in Maharashtra. About 1.1 million people including 0.39 million children in 421 coastal villages of six districts of Gujarat are still at-risk of flooding (refer annexure) and health risks and are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Leadership and coordination The Gujarat and Maharashtra Chief Ministers are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating the response via the State Control Rooms. The Union Home Minister spoke to the Chief Ministers of cyclone- affected states to take an update about the situation as well as enquire about any help required from the Centre. The union Defence minister has directed the three services (Army, Navy and Air Force) to provide all possible assistance to the civil administrations in the coastal states of Maharashtra and Gujarat in tackling the situation arising in the aftermath of cyclone Tauktae. The Inter-Agency Group of Gujarat, a coalition of humanitarian agencies supported by UNICEF took stock of situation and finalised the scope of joint assessment being rollout from tomorrow morning. State Response The search and rescue operations are ongoing with the National Disaster Response Force (80 teams deployed), Army, Navy, Indian Coast Guard, and state forces being mobilized across the affected states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Six rescue and relief teams of the Army have been activated for rescue and relief operations in Diu. Six additional teams have also been staged forward to Junagarh to deal with after-effects of the cyclone at other cyclone-hit places including Botad, Amreli and Bhavnagar. A total of 180 teams and nine engineer task forces are also deployed for assessment and restoration of various services. The Indian Coast Guard is responding to distress calls by vessels in the Arabian Sea who have been stranded. Restoration of power and water supply and road clearance activities are underway in both states. UNICEF Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF aims to support the provision of life-saving interventions for cyclone affected women and children through support to delivery of essential services by line-departments (mainstream service delivery mechanisms). UNICEF partners will provide on-ground implementation support to mobilise the most vulnerable to utilize the Government-UNICEF services, seek feedback from women, men, girls and boys, and monitor results. The response strategy aims to reduce the burden on the already over-stressed system that is responding to the COVID-19 crisis and reduce exposure of cyclone affected women and children to COVID risk. To enable this, UNICEF is leveraging its partnership with the Inter-Agency Group (IAG) of Gujarat and the Disaster Risk Management System of the Government of Gujarat. Partnership with the IAG will help UNICEF leverage time, efforts, skills and reach of the civil society organizations for joint rapid needs and vulnerability assessment and humanitarian response to address gaps in critical responses, whereas technical assistance to Government of Gujarat will enable coordination of life saving assistance and coordinated action for early recovery of social sectors (WASH, Health, Child Protection etc.). UNICEF will support line-departments to ensure COVID sensitive sectoral response planning to addresses humanitarian needs in child protection, health, nutrition Social Protection and WASH. UNICEF Actions • UNICEF will support Gujarat-IAG to conduct a Joint Rapid Needs and Vulnerability Assessment in the cyclone affected districts followed by on-ground humanitarian response to address the acute needs of the most vulnerable women and children. • For Gujarat response, UNICEF is developing a multisectoral response plan (Health, WASH, Child Protection) to support the Government-led response. This is expected to include: o State level technical assistance to Government of Gujarat to strengthen coordination between state GSDMA, DDMAs, state IAG and CSO partners to enable coordinated action across levels, social sectors and Non-Government stakeholders. o District level technical assistance to affected districts (Gir Somnath, Junagarh and Porbandar) at DDMA level for information management, rapid response planning to enable local, coordinated action between social sector line-departments, CSOs and CSR partners, and monitor the situation of children and most vulnerable and related reporting on response, and early recovery planning. o Advocacy and technical support to social sector line-departments for COVID-sensitive response • In Maharashtra, one UNICEF consultant is stationed at the State Emergency Operation to provide information management support to the emergency response operation of the Government of Maharashtra. IAG Gujarat (CSO coordination mechanism supported by UNICEF): Gujarat IAG has mapped available resources such as field staffs, volunteers and pre-positioned relief items and has started coordinating CSO response by developing a 3W matrix. UNICEF, state IAG and Sphere India jointly planned a Joint Rapid Needs Assessment from tomorrow onwards. The rapid assessment is proposed to cover six of the most affected districts that includes Gir Somnath, Bhavnagar, Amreli, Botad, Junagarh and Anand. A total of 100 villages will be assessed at household and village level. Funding and Partnerships Funding requirements remain unclear until the

  • Cyclone Tauktae
    Cyclone Tauktae What is the issue? The recent Cyclone Tauktae has left a trail of death and destruction before making landfall in Gujarat. This reminds again that accurate forecasts and resilience-building hold the key to handling severe cyclones. How severe was Cyclone Tauktae? Cyclone Tauktae swelled into an extremely severe cyclonic storm. It led to dumping enormous volumes of water all along the west coast. The cyclone caused loss of life in Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat, before weakening overland. The twin crises of the cyclone and COVID-19 have strained the capacities of multiple States, especially the coastal ones. What are IMD’s recent measures? In 2020, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) launched an impact- based cyclone warning system. This was designed to reduce economic losses by focusing on districts and specific locations. It incorporates such factors as population, infrastructure, land use and settlements. The IMD also claimed that its accuracy of forecasts, for instance, in plotting landfall location, is now better. Together with ground mapping of vulnerabilities, this is a promising approach to avoid loss of life and destruction of property. What are the priorities now? Developing greater expertise in forecasting and disaster mitigation is essential. Crafting policies to increase resilience among communities is another priority. Arabian Sea has emerged as a major source of severe cyclones. Their intensity is aggravated by long-term rise in sea surface temperatures linked to pollution over South Asia and its neighbourhood. So importance of precise early warnings is high now than before. Climate-proofing lives and dwellings is also a high priority now.

  • Cyclone Tauktae
    Cyclone Tauktae drishtiias.com/printpdf/cyclone-tauktae Why in News Recently, Cyclone Tauktae made landfall in Gujarat. The cyclone has left a trail of destruction as it swept through the coastal states of Kerala, Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra. Key Points 1/3 About: Named by: It is a tropical cyclone, named by Myanmar. It means 'gecko', a highly vocal lizard, in the Burmese language. Typically, tropical cyclones in the North Indian Ocean region (Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea) develop during the pre-monsoon (April to June) and post-monsoon (October to December) periods. May-June and October-November are known to produce cyclones of severe intensity that affect the Indian coasts. Classification: It has weakened into a "very severe cyclonic storm" from the "extremely severe cyclonic storm". The India Meteorological Department (IMD) classifies cyclones on the basis of the maximum sustained surface wind speed (MSW) they generate. The cyclones are classified as severe (MSW of 48-63 knots), very severe (MSW of 64-89 knots), extremely severe (MSW of 90-119 knots) and super cyclonic storm (MSW of 120 knots or more). One knot is equal to 1.8 kmph (kilometers per hour). Developed in Arabian Sea: Tauktae is the fourth cyclone in consecutive years to have developed in the Arabian Sea, that too in the pre-monsoon period (April to June). After Cyclone Mekanu in 2018, which struck Oman, Cyclone Vayu in 2019 struck Gujarat, followed by Cyclone Nisarga in 2020 that struck Maharashtra. All these cyclones since 2018 have been categorised either ‘Severe Cyclone’ or above. Arabian Sea becoming Hotbed of Cyclones: Annually, five cyclones on average form in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea combined.
