No lessons learnt from past flood disasters -Himanshu Thakkar

Along with better forecasts, we need better monitoring and reporting of actual rainfall, water levels in rivers and incidents of landslides. More timely and location-specific forecasts that would enable the disaster management authorities to take the necessary advance actions would help. Such emergency action plans would follow only if there is a functional, accountable and participatory disaster management mechanism in place.
This month’s flood disasters in two states distant from each other — Kerala and Uttarakhand — have a lot in common. Both happened after the end of the normal dates of the south-west monsoon. It was a repeat of earlier such disasters in the respective states. In both cases, there were reports by experts warning about the disasters. The rainfall events were broadly along the lines warned by the climate scientists. But the states were ill-prepared to cope with the situation. Inappropriate human interventions worsened the disasters in major ways. Disaster management seems to be absent from the ground. In both cases, more precise forecasts about the rainfall quantum and location would have helped.
Over 250 people have lost their lives in these floods in Kerala, Uttarakhand and contiguous areas of Uttar Pradesh and Nepal and the damage is likely to go past Rs 10,000 crore. The disaster is also extending to Sikkim and neighbouring sub-Himalayan West Bengal areas. The full scale of the disaster is still unfolding.
