CDRN Relief Updates For the Affected in Uttarakhand and Himachal Flood
Uttarakhand, Himachal and adjoining areas has been hit by torrential rain, landslides and flash floods. The erratic weather conditions have been attributed to early monsoons in Northern India due to which early warnings were not provided and people have been affected adversely. River Ganges and its major tributaries of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi have swelled up, causing widespread destruction downstream. Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh, has received the highest rainfall in 20 years over the last three days.
Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN), implemented by Aidmatrix Foundation, created under the Corporate Task Force of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is organizing regular multiple dispatch of Relief Material to various flood affected areas and camps where relief agencies are assessing, coordinating and implementing relief efforts.
