| Popis: |
The communities in the Indian sub-continent have learnt to live with disasters. The Indian subcontinent has been stuck by massive natural disasters in the recent decades. The catastrophic supper cyclone in Odisha in 1999 was followed by mega earth quakes in 2001 and 2005 in Gujarat and Kashmir respectively. The visual impact of the live coverage of tragedy caused by Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, was fresh in the memory of people in the sub continent until they witnessed the Indus river floods in Pakistan in 2010 that devastated lives and livelihoods of over 20 million people. The memories of tragic Indus floods were taken over by multi-hazard disaster in Uttarakhand in the summer of 2013 at about 3,583 m (11,755 ft) above sea level, dubbed by the media as “Himalayan Tsunami”. |
