From 10,000 in 1999 to 6 in 2021: How India cut cyclone deaths

从1999年的1万人到2021年的6人：印度是如何减少气旋造成的死亡人数的

NEW DELHI: Since the 1999 super cyclone in Odisha which claimed over 10,000 lives to cyclone Yaas when casualties were limited to less than half-a-dozen, India seems to have made remarkable progress in disaster risk reduction (DRR).

新德里：1999年奥里萨邦的超级气旋造成超过1万人死亡，近期气旋“亚斯”造成的死亡人数为6人，由此看来印度似乎在减少灾害风险(DRR)方面取得了显著进步。

Large scale rescue and relief operation, with cooperation of both the Centre and states, ensured evacuation of more than 14 lakh people to safe shelters, limiting casualties in Odisha and West Bengal, the two states that came in the direct path of the severe cyclone which made landfall on Wednesday.

在中央和各邦的合作下，大规模的救援行动确保了140多万人被疏散到安全的避难所，减少了奥里萨邦和西孟加拉邦的人员伤亡，这两个邦正好处于周三登陆的强气旋的直接路径上。

This is seen as the result of a rigorous exercise and strengthening of the DRR mechanism over the last few years — a perfect coordination between the central and state agencies.

这被视为是过去几年中严格执行和加强DRR机制的结果——中央和各邦机构之间的完美协调。

There has been a signifiant rise in funding for disaster risk reduction activities — up from an average Rs 25000 crore to 30000 crore over five years in the last decade to nearly Rs 30000 crore a year for the last two consecutive years.

用于减少灾害风险活动的资金大幅增加，从过去10年的平均5年2500亿卢比增加到3000亿卢比，到过去连续两年每年近3000亿卢比。

More than eight lakh people were evacuated in West Bengal and six lakh in Odisha over the last couple of days to evade the fury of Yaas.

过去几天里，为了躲避气旋“亚斯”，西孟加拉邦有80多万人被疏散，奥里萨邦有60多万人被疏散。

The credit needs to go the BJP govt . They started the NDRP funds for the state back in 2000 and have collectively given that much funds over the year . Also Modi with the help of ISRO and DRDO have always been proactive with the work.
