4. FORMATION AND PATH On May 11, the  Joint Typhoon Warning Center  (JTWC) began monitoring a large  area of low pressure  in the equatorial  Arabian Sea  for potential tropical cyclone development. As the system slowly moved eastwards, it gradually organized amid favorable conditions, including  sea surface temperatures  of up to 30 °C (86 degrees Fahrenheit) and low  wind shear . The JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on this system on May 13.A few hours later, the JTWC designated it as  Tropical Cyclone 01. 4 DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

20. 20 Preparedness and Mitigation l et's explore the proactive measures that can significantly reduce the impact of cyclones like Taukte. Disaster Preparedness: Early Warning Systems: Meteorological agencies, such as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), provide advanced warnings about cyclones' paths and intensities. This foresight offers a crucial window for communities to prepare and evacuate if necessary. Public Awareness: Educating communities about cyclones is vital. Informing them about the potential impact of cyclones, the importance of following evacuation plans, and the need for immediate action can save lives. Emergency Kits: Encourage households to assemble emergency kits. These kits should include non-perishable food, clean water, essential medications, first aid supplies, important documents, and communication devices. Having these kits on hand ensures families can sustain themselves in the immediate aftermath of a cyclone. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

21. 21 Preparedness and Mitigation 2. Evacuation Plans: Safe Shelter Locations: Identify safe shelters strategically placed in vulnerable areas. These shelters should be equipped to accommodate a significant number of people and provide protection from strong winds and flooding. Adequate supplies, such as food, water, and medical resources, should be stocked in these shelters. Evacuation Routes: Establish clearly marked evacuation routes to guide people to safety. Well-maintained signage and communication tools ensure that individuals can navigate to secure locations efficiently and without confusion. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

22. 22 DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India Preparedness and Mitigation 3. Infrastructure Resilience: Building Codes: Enforce and adhere to rigorous building codes in cyclone-prone areas. These codes mandate the construction of structures that can withstand high winds and flooding, reducing the risk of damage and collapse during cyclones. Coastal Protection: Introduce the concept of using natural barriers like mangrove forests and artificial structures like sea walls to mitigate the impact of storm surges on coastal communities. These measures serve as buffers, absorbing and dissipating the force of surging water.

23. 23 DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India Preparedness and Mitigation 4. Community Engagement: Local Committees: Establish community-based committees focused on disaster management. These committees involve local residents in preparedness planning, ensuring that the unique needs and vulnerabilities of each community are considered. Training and Drills: Regularly conduct training sessions and evacuation drills in cyclone-prone areas. These exercises familiarize residents with evacuation procedures, equip them with necessary skills, and enhance their readiness to respond effectively during a cyclone.

24. 24 CLIMATE CHANGE AND CYCLONES As we delve deeper into the factors shaping cyclones like Taukte, our next focus is on the role of climate change in influencing their frequency and intensity. Thi s slides sheds light on the scientific connections between climate change and cyclones, revealing how shifts in our global climate patterns can impact these powerful natural phenomena.“ Impact of Climate Change on Cyclones: Warmer Ocean Surfaces: Due to climate change, global temperatures are rising. This warming leads to higher sea surface temperatures, providing more energy for cyclone formation and intensification. Intensified Storms: Warmer ocean waters fuel cyclones, potentially causing them to become more powerful and have higher wind speeds. Increased Rainfall: Rising temperatures can also increase the moisture content in the atmosphere, leading to heavier rainfall during cyclones and worsening flooding.

25. 25 CLIMATE CHANGE AND CYCLONES 2. Scientific Evidence: Correlation with Temperature: Present scientific studies and observations that demonstrate the correlation between rising temperatures and cyclone activity. Unusual Trajectories: Highlight instances where cyclones have taken unexpected paths or intensified rapidly, possibly due to changing climate patterns. Consensus among Experts: Emphasize the consensus among climate scientists and meteorologists that climate change is influencing cyclone behavior. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

26. 26 Humanitarian Aid and Relief The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) chief, S.N. Pradhan, said that doctors and various medical staff were sent to the affected states, as well as 100 relief teams. However, only  vaccinated  personnel were sent. Special arrangements for hospitals,  COVID-19  support, and other needs were made to ensure electricity would not be interrupted. In Kerala and Karnataka, thousands sought refuge in relief camps due to their homes being damaged by Tauktae , according to the two states' chief ministers. Large amounts of concern lingered for hospitals' abilities to keep enough oxygen for COVID-19 patients, as well as plants generating enough of it. After taking an aerial trip of the areas hit by Tauktae , Prime Minister  Narendra Modi  announced that he would give ₹1,000 crore (US$130 million) for immediate relief in Gujarat. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

27. 27 Humanitarian Aid and Relief He also stated he would give ₹2 lakh (US$2,500) each to families who had their members die in the cyclone. A sum of ₹50,000 (US$630) would be paid to those injured. The Government of Gujarat asked for additional ₹9,836 crore (US$1.2 billion) from National Disaster Response Fund and ₹500 crore (US$63 million) from State Disaster Response Fund from the Government of India for relief works. Central Government released additional financial assistance of Rs. 1000 crore to Gujarat, in advance, from NDRF for management of relief necessitated by cyclonic storm Taukate . Besides, Central Government released the first installment of Central share of SDRF for 2021-22 amounting to Rs. 8873.60*crore on 29 th  April 2021 in advance to all States, including the cyclone affected States.(*this fund includes cyclone yaas effected states too).

28. 28 THE ROAD TO RECOVERY As we navigate the aftermath of cyclones like Taukte, it becomes evident that the path to restoration is marked by resilient efforts. This point delves into the journey of recovery, shedding light on the phases, challenges, and strategies that communities undertake to rebuild and regain stability after the impact of such powerful natural events. 1. Post-Cyclone Scenario: As the storm moved through Gujarat and weakened much more slowly than previously expected, rainfall predictions were made by the IMD for various areas of the state. On May 19, an orange alert was issued for  Delhi  and adjoining parts of  Haryana  and West  Uttar Pradesh .  Reduction in visibility, disruption of traffic, road and structure damage, and agricultural impacts were also of concern. Isolated areas were expected to receive "very heavy" rainfall, over a "fairly widespread" to "widespread" region. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

29. 29 THE ROAD TO RECOVERY 2 . Phases of Recovery: In total, the NDRF mobilised 4,700 personnel in 100 teams across six states. In  Gujarat , 200,000 people were evacuated from low-lying areas all while 54 teams of the National Disaster Response Force and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) were deployed. Using field surveys, remote sensing data and community knowledge as well as data from nodal agencies of the Government of India assesses the regions where it works to determine the type of disasters they are at risk for and the exposure to the risk. The assessments will identify short-term needs such as water, food, sanitation, shelter and security as well as long-term needs to support recovery and rebuilding. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

30. 30 THE ROAD TO RECOVERY 3. Rebuilding Infrastructure: Physical restoration : In the aftermath of a cyclone, roads, bridges, utilities, and public facilities might be extensively damaged or completely wiped out. Rebuilding these physical structures is essential to enable the movement of people, goods, and services. The extent of damage varies based on the cyclone's intensity, trajectory, and the affected region. By May 19, mobile phone networks were stilled down in several areas after the storm hit the state. Over 600 roads were blocked. A major mango growing belt was damaged. According to initial estimates, the private ports in Gujarat suffered damages worth ₹7 billion (US$95.6 million) while  Gujarat Maritime Board -owned ports suffered damages of ₹50 million (US$680 thousand). Total damage statewide stood at ₹100 billion (US$1.37 billion). DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

31. 31 THE ROAD TO RECOVERY THREE WEEKS after Cyclone Tauktae battered the coast of Amreli, Gir Somnath and Bhavnagar districts, more than 100 villages are still without grid power. So PGVCL launch there mission for restoration of power supply lines . Another NGO which is named as Aga Khan Agency for Habitat(AKAH) lauched their mission of rehabilitation ,by re constructing people’s home in saurastra region because this region was vastly effected in Gujrat . Also, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka on Saturday said that in view of cyclone Tauktae (pronounced Tau’te ), eight relief camps have been set up in three coastal districts that can accommodate around 10,000 people, where food and other basic amenities will be made available to them. DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India

32. 32 THE ROAD TO RECOVERY 4. Livelihood Restoration: Agriculture and Fisheries: The Gujarat government has announced a relief package of ₹105 crore for fishermen affected by  cyclone Tauktae   which caused severe damage in the state's coastal belt last month, officials said on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. C hief Minister Vijay Rupani took the decision about the relief package after reviewing the situation during a meeting on Tuesday evening, an official release said. In agriculture sector Gujrat was vastly effected like, mango banana farms are sevierly effected in anand,Bhavnagar , junagdh and other districts also winter crops are vaslty effected . So for that much agriculture damage Gujarat government announces  Rs 500 crore relief package  for agriculture sector.  DM-Case Study, SPP-DoCL, DDU-Nadiad, Gujarat, India
