How was that disaster managed?

Cyclone Vardah that lashed India’s east coast has once again demonstrated that India’s cyclone preparedness had reached its mark. The Indian Meteorological Department was able to track the movement of Vardah with precision and issue early warnings. Cautionary advice was put out on social platforms urging people to stay safe which reduced the number of casualties as seen in Chennai during cyclone Vardha. Delivery of food and health care via mobile hospitals, with priorities to women child & elder, were implemented. Protection of the community and their evacuation and quicker response was carried out in an exemplary manner by The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the Army.
