Phailin After 5 Months - Best Practices of IAG Odisha On Phailin and Floods

Attachments

The definition of disaster is now all encompassing, which includes not only the events emanating from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the country and to collate them at one place in a global perspective. This book has been an effort towards realising this thought. This book in the present format is the outcome of the in-house compilation and analysis of information relating to cyclone Phailin and response of IAG Members gathered from different sources.
