Odisha Prepares for Cyclonic Storm with 'Zero Casualty' Goal

As a cyclonic storm develops over the Bay of Bengal, the Odisha government is taking proactive measures to ensure safety, aiming for "zero casualties." The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced that a low-pressure system is expected to form over the east-central Bay of Bengal and adjacent north Andaman Sea by Monday, likely intensifying into a depression by Tuesday and becoming a full cyclonic storm by Thursday, October 24.

Forecasts indicate wind speeds of 40-50 km/h along the Odisha coast on Wednesday, escalating to 90-110 km/h, with gusts potentially reaching 120 km/h on Thursday. While the precise path and intensity of the cyclone are still uncertain, the IMD has issued warnings for heavy to very heavy rainfall in coastal and nearby districts from October 23 to 25.

Districts such as Puri, Khurda, Ganjam, and Jagatsinghpur are expected to face the brunt of the rainfall. To prevent fishermen from venturing into the sea, the state government has advised local collectors to enforce this restriction until further notice.

In anticipation of possible flash floods, waterlogging, and landslides, the government has instructed district officials to identify vulnerable populations and relocate them to safer areas. Additionally, collectors are to assess the readiness of over 800 multi-purpose cyclone shelters and identify pregnant women who may need immediate medical attention.

Odisha’s Special Relief Commissioner D.K. Singh emphasized that the state is closely monitoring the situation and has implemented necessary precautions. Historical context underscores the importance of these preparations, as Odisha has faced devastating cyclones in October, including the super cyclone of 1999 that resulted in over 10,000 fatalities. Recent improvements in disaster management have helped reduce casualties during storms like Phailin in 2013 and Hudhud in 2014, though significant property damage remains a concern.
