CYCLONE A cyclone is a large-scale weather system characterized by low atmospheric pressure, strong winds, and heavy rainfall.
Definition and Formation of Cyclones 1 Definition 🌪️ A cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm characterized by a low-pressure center, strong winds, thunderstorms, and torrential rain. 2 Formation process 💨💧 Cyclones typically form over warm ocean waters near the equator, where moist air rises and condenses, releasing heat energy that fuels the storm's development.
Different Types of Cyclones Tropical Cyclones 🌴 Tropical cyclones are intense storms that form in tropical regions, characterized by a well-defined circulation and a warm core. Subtropical Cyclones 🌦️ Subtropical cyclones share characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones, having features of a hurricane and an extratropical storm system. Extratropical Cyclones ❄️ Extratropical cyclones develop outside the tropics and rely on temperature contrasts between air masses. They are common in middle latitudes.
Life Cycle of a Cyclone 1 Cyclogenesis ⛈️ Initiation phase where a disturbance forms and begins to develop into a cyclonic system. 2 Mature Phase 🌬️ The cyclone reaches its peak intensity with strong winds and heavy precipitation . 3 Decay Phase 🌫️ The cyclone weakens as it moves over cooler waters or encounters land, losing its warm core and energy source.
Ocean Surface Temperature 🌡️ High sea surface temperatures provide the necessary heat and moisture for cyclone formation and intensification. Coriolis Effect 🌀 The rotation of the Earth deflects the movements of air masses, leading to the rotation of cyclones. Low Pressure System 🌬️ A dip in atmospheric pressure near the surface encourages the updraft of air, initiating cyclone development.
The Saffir -Simpson Scale The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. This scale estimates potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage. Category Wind Speed mph Damage 1 74-95 Some damage to buildings, power outages . 2 96-110 Extensive damage to buildings, power outages . 3 111-129 Devastating damage to buildings, power outages . 4 130-156 Catastrophic damage to buildings, power outages. 5 157 or higher Catastrophic damage to buildings, power outages.

BIPARJOY CYCLONE PATH
IMPACTS ON AFFECTED AREAS The cyclone had a devastating impact on communities, causing loss of life and displacement. Infrastructure, including homes and roads, was severely damaged. Environmental damage, such as flooding and erosion, was also a significant concern. Power Outages: The cyclone also caused widespread power outages. This has disrupted essential services and made it difficult for people to access food, water, and medical care. Public health concerns : Flooding and damage to sanitation infrastructure have raised concerns about the spread of waterborne diseases. Livestock loss : Many livestock were killed by the cyclone's strong winds and floods. This has caused significant economic hardship for livestock owners.
IMPACTS Cyclone Biparjoy was a very severe cyclonic storm that made landfall near Jakhau port in Gujarat’s Kutch district on Thursday, June 15, 2023 . It caused widespread damage to crops, houses, roads, power and communication lines, and coastal areas in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The cyclone damaged cash crops like mangoes, cotton, and groundnut in the coastal districts of Gujarat. Farmers suffered huge losses as their crops were spoiled due to heavy winds and rain. The cyclone also disrupted power supply in around 1,000 villages and blocked roads due to fallen trees. It is estimated that around 13,000 electric poles were fallen.
Impacts of Cyclones
IMPACTS OF CYCLONE (RAJASTHAN) • In Rajasthan , Barme r district was the worst affected by the cyclone as it received heavy rainfall for more than 18 hours . • The rain caused waterlogging, flooding, and erosion in several areas, especially in Serwa, Dhanau, and Chauhtan tehsils. • Many houses were inundated, and roads were damaged by the water. •The administration evacuated people from low-lying areas and provided them with food and shelter. • The cyclone also affected train and flight services in Rajasthan .

Mitigation and Preparedness Strategies for Cyclones 1 Mitigation Efforts 🔧 Long-term measures include improving early warning systems, constructing cyclone-resistant infrastructure, and implementing coastal management strategies. 2 Preparedness Measures 📝 Short-term actions involve creating disaster response plans, conducting drills, stockpiling emergency supplies, and educating communities about cyclone risks and safety . 3 Emergency Response 🚑 During a cyclone, it is essential to activate emergency response teams, coordinate evacuations, and provide relief measures for affected populations.
STRUCTURAL MITIGATION MEASURE INCLUDE: Building cyclone-resistant houses and buildings: These houses and buildings should be able to withstand the strong winds and storm surge associated with cyclones.
STRUCTURAL MITIGATION MEASURE INCLUDE: Constructing coastal embankments: Coastal embankments can help to protect coastal communities from storm surge. Planting mangroves and other coastal vegetation: Mangroves and other coastal vegetation can help to protect coastal communities from erosion and storm surge.

NON-STRUCTURAL MITIGATION MEASURES INCLUDE: Developing and implementing comprehensive disaster management plans: These plans should identify the risks posed by cyclones and other hazards, and outline the steps that will be taken to prepare for and respond to these hazards. Investing in early warning systems: Early warning systems can help communities evacuate to safety before a cyclone makes landfall.
NON-STRUCTURAL MITIGATION MEASURES INCLUDE: Strengthening infrastructure: Buildings and other critical infrastructure should be strengthened to withstand the impacts of cyclones. Educating the public about cyclone preparedness: It is important to educate the public about the risks posed by cyclones and how to prepare for these hazards.
SOME ADDITIONAL MITIGATIONS: Land use planning: Land use planning can be used to reduce the development of vulnerable areas, such as floodplains and coastal areas. Property acquisition and relocation: In some cases, it may be necessary to purchase and relocate properties that are at high risk of cyclone damage. Floodplain management: Floodplain management measures can be used to reduce the risk of flooding, such as constructing drainage systems and wetlands. Public awareness campaigns: Public awareness campaigns can be used to educate the public about the risks posed by cyclones and how to prepare for these hazards.
PREPARDNESS AND RESPONSES Know your risk: Identify the areas in your community that are most vulnerable to cyclones and storm surge. This information can be found from local government agencies or disaster preparedness organizations. Develop an evacuation plan: Have a plan for where you will go and what you will take if you need to evacuate. Make sure your plan includes everyone in your household, including pets. Stock up on supplies: Make sure you have enough food, water, medicine, and other essential supplies to last for at least three days. Secure your home: Make sure your roof is in good condition and that all windows and doors are properly sealed. Trim trees and shrubs: Remove any trees or shrubs that could fall on your home during a cyclone. Have a communication plan: Make sure you have a way to communicate with your family and friends during a cyclone, even if power and phone lines are down.
