Disaster Response - Cyclone Fani

LET US STAND #UnitedForOdisha

 

Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘Fani’ ravaged the states of Odisha, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh on the 3rd and 4th  of May. With wind speeds reaching up to 205 km/h, heavy rains and flying debris have battered the coastal belt of Eastern India. Cyclone Fani is the worst India has seen in the last two decades, second only to the Odisha super-cyclone of 1999.

Over 16000 villages have been impacted. With the rising death toll currently recorded at 64, there were as high as 14 million people in the path of the cyclone who have been affected in varying degrees.

Over 1.5 million people have been evacuated from vulnerable districts and are being housed in close to 9000 shelters in schools and government buildings. 5,000+ kitchens are operating to serve people in these shelters. The damage caused to the physical property is very severe with 1000+ public health facilities, and 5700+ school buildings being damaged. Over 5 lakh houses have been damaged and about 5600 km of roads have also been affected.
