3. Phailin ; An Introduction Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (Thai: meaning "sapphire") On October 4, 2013 the Japan Meteorological Agency started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed in the Gulf of Thailand The second-strongest tropical cyclone ever to make landfall in India. It caused substantial damage to Odisha and AP. Biggest evacuation ever in last 23 years in India. 1/31/2017 3 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

4. Genesis & Pathway 6 th October - Tenasserim coast 7 th October – Andaman sea 8 th October – Andaman sea It concentrated into a depression at12.0 N and longitude 96.0 E 1/31/2017 4 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

5. Genesis & Pathway Moving north-westwards , it intensified into a deep depression on 9th morning and further into cyclonic storm (CS ) In the same day evening. Moving north-westwards, it further intensified into a severe cyclonic storm ( SCS ) in the morning and into a VSCS in the forenoon of 10th Oct. over east central Bay of Bengal . 1/31/2017 5 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

8. Salient features VSCS PHAILIN is the most intense cyclone that crossed India coast after Odisha Super Cyclone of 29th October 1999 . There was rapid intensification of the system from 10th Oct. morning to 11th October morning leading to an increase in wind speed from 45 knots to 115 knots. . 1/31/2017 8 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

9. Salient features At the time of landfall on 12th Oct, maximum sustained surface wind speed in association with the cyclone was about 115 knots (215 kmph ) and estimated central pressure was 940 hPa with pressure drop of 66 hPa at the centre compared to surroundings . It caused very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over Odisha leading to floods, and strong gale wind leading to large scale structural damage and storm surge leading to coastal inundation over Odisha . 1/31/2017 9 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

10. Salient features The numerical weather prediction (NWP) and dynamical statistical models provided good guidance with respect to its genesis, track and intensity. Though there was divergence in model guidance with respect to landfall point in the initial stage, the consensus among the models emerged as the cyclone moved closer to the coast . IMD accurately predicted the genesis, intensity, track and point & time of landfall and also the adverse weather like heavy rainfall, gale wind and storm surge 4 to 5 days in advance . 1/31/2017 10 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

Most of the small rivers of Ranchi like Harmu River, Jumar River, Potpoto River, River flowing under the Over bridge etc. were overflowing due to heavy rain in the city. Even many of the local ponds were overflowing. Trees were uprooted and low land area faced water logging . Barring an early morning lightning strike at Simdradhao village in Giridih district in which a person was killed , according to police, there were no reports of rain-related casualty anywhere in the state. At least 400 huts were destroyed . 1/31/2017 15 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

Odisha The creation of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in 2006 ensured that there were around 2,300 personnel, especially trained in disaster mitigation and response, available for deployment, along with equipment like inflatable boads , lifebuoys and power saws. Incidentally, Odisha had set up its own Odisha State Disaster Management Authority and Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) soon the 1999 disaster, much before the NDMA and NDRF came into being. Apart from 2,000 personnel from the Army, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed 2,300 personnel in the three States – 29 teams in Odisha , 19 teams in Andhra Pradesh and 7 teams in West Bengal. 1/31/2017 21 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

22. Odisha The locations were identified through a scientific survey conducted by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur with two major postulates i.e. No person will have to travel more than 2.25 km to get a safe shelter and without crossing a natural Barrier. The building is designed to withstand wind speed up to 300 kmph and moderate earthquakes. Its plinth is above High Flood line (HFL) and standing on a stilted floor, it can remain unaffected in storm surge up to the 1 st  floor level. So far, 203 multipurpose cyclone shelters , including 65 by Indian Red Cross Society have been constructed in coastal districts of Orissa and have been handed over to the community based Cyclone Shelter Management and Maintenance Committees (CSMMC) . 52 flood shelters of similar design are being constructed in 9 flood prone districts out of Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. 1/31/2017 22 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources

25. ANDHRA PRADESH The Andhra Pradesh government and the Chief Minister met representatives of the Army and Navy seeking their assistance if required . Utility workers striking against the division of Andhra Pradesh called off their strike partly in view of the cyclone threat to the coastal districts . The state government ordered the evacuation of 64,000 people living in low-lying areas . The coastal districts of the state escaped the force of the cyclone . 1/31/2017 25 Manas Ranjan Panda,School of Water Resources
