ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS1 Geography and GS3 Disaster Management. Frequent Bay of Bengal cyclones expose east-coast vulnerability; the IMD forecasting and alert system, NDMA guidelines and state disaster authorities form the response framework. The way forward is better early warning, coastal infrastructure resilience, mangrove and shelter investment, and last-mile communication.
