4.9/5 (31992 ratings)

Description:The disasters of 2018 and 2019 that devastated Kerala busted the myth that the state is immune to catastrophic natural disasters. The havoc wrought on lives and the environment exposed the vulnerabilities of the sliver of land wedged between an eroding Western Ghats and a ravenous Arabian Sea, and subject to two monsoon precipitations. The calamities also brought into sharp focus the callous disregard of human beings towards nature and the lack of preparedness that transmogrified mere hazards into disasters. Millions were displaced, thousands lost their homes, and nearly five hundred people lost their lives, apart from loss of livestock and animals.The report clearly shows that the inherent vulnerabilities of the marginalized populations in Kerala were aggravated by the disasters pushing them further to the edge. Unless we acknowledge this and reach out to these vulnerable populations, we will be leaving them behind. The lessons learned from this assessment are not only pertinent in the Kerala context, but have strategic policy relevance in evolving inclusive disaster risk reduction strategies and solutions globally, ensuring that no one from the vulnerable populations is left behind in the context of natural disasters.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
