The objective of this paper is to assess the activities of the government and NGOs providing relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction in aftermath of the Orissa super cyclone. Whatever the mismanagement in relief and rehabilitation measures, credit must go to the state government for controlling the spread of any epidemic and preventing any starvation deaths in the affected areas. Relief operations of local NGOs through ODMM and the state government and rehabilitation measures by OSDMA have helped a great deal. The role of international bodies such as UNICEF and UNDP in relief and of INGOs in rehabilitation, mostly construction of houses, supply of nets and boats to fishermen, and mamata gruhas for women and destitutes has been innovative and praiseworthy. Most of the cost of rehabilitation was borne by the government. Participation of local communities including PRI institutions in relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation and in all stages of disaster management is necessary. Forest cover over sand dunes, construction of more multi-purpose cyclone shelters, one kilometre wide protective shield near the seashore through afforestation are some of the important steps yet to be taken. However, provision of safer houses for the affected people is the first and foremost requirement. | ||
