Nearly two decades ago on December 26, the Indian Ocean tsunami showed how unprepared many regions were at the time, particularly the lack of early warning systems and coordinated response mechanisms. In the years since, there have been real improvements - better forecasting, stronger disaster management institutions, and greater awareness at the community level. The risk remains. Coastal populations are growing, climate patterns are changing, and extreme events are becoming more frequent. Remembering the tsunami is less about the date itself but more about recognising why preparedness, risk reduction, and local capacity continue to matter. Disasters test systems long before they test individuals. A major lesson from 2004 is that consistent investment in preparedness saves lives, often in ways that never make headlines, says Yezdani Rahman. #DisasterPreparedness #RiskReduction #ClimateResilience #LearningFromDisasters #CommunityPreparedness #DisasterManagement #ClimateRisk #CommunityResilience #RiskReduction #HumanitarianLessons #WorldTsunamiDay #BeTsunamiReady #InvestInPreparedness #GetToHighGround english.loktej.com/article/2โ€ฆ

Puri was one of the worst affected districts by cyclone Fani in May 2019. Had a good discussion with DM Puri and field officers on response and recovery especially in power sector. Ground level feedback is invaluable in #learningfromdisasters.
