As a member of development plan committee, I will suggest that we should make arrangements to get prior information of cyclone through satellites and radars. The cyclone warning should be issued 24 hours in advance when cyclone is nearer the coast. The people living in the affected area should be educated through TV, radio and newspaper to shift the essential household goods, domestic animals and vehicles etc. to safer places.
They should be requested to keep ready the phone numbers of emergency services like police, fire ‘ brigade, and medical centres. In addition to this, construction of cyclone shelters in the cyclone prone areas, and administrative arrangements for moving people fast for safer places should be made.
