Kerala Flood Relief Activities & Photographs

Preliminary Report on Flood Relief Activities in Kerala

Due to torrential rain throughout the state, 36 small medium and big Dams got filled up and consequently had to be drained raising their shutters. This led to flooding of all low lying parts of the state. Fury of the rain triggered a series of landslides in the high ranges of the states. Thus the whole state slipped into the worst ever disaster it had faced.
By 19-08-2018, the flood pushed more than 7 Lakh people into relief camps and displacing an equal number from their houses.
8 Districts out of the total 14 are severely affected in the state.
