Abstract

This chapter presents the gender disaggregated death data from the four districts which were severely hit by the Cyclone Phailin in 2013. As with Chap. 3, it also provides the narratives of seven elite respondents which include the Director of the Indian Meteorology Department, Regional Director of UNDP, Manager of Odisha State Disaster Management Authority, Deputy Relief Commissioner of the Special Relief Organisation, and three Emergency Officers from Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur and Puri districts. Systems failure provides a novel perspective to analyse the reasons why there were fewer deaths in 2013.

Fußnoten
1
High power computing systems and the Meteo France International Synergie System were bought in 2009 and 2010 respectively. The author was able to see these super computers under the guidance of the Director. The Meteo France International system operates through three connected monitors. It provides real time wind, rain and air pressure forecasts of 48 h. In the case of power-cuts, or a failure of the internet, this system continues to work without disruption due to its connection with the INSAT Satellite. During Phailin, this highly developed technology enabled the Director and his Duty Officers to generate almost accurate early warnings (Director of Indian Meteorology Department, 21 July 2014; Barik 2014).
