Abstract

This chapter elaborates on the basic terminologies and concepts in connection with cyclones. This chapter entails the causes, types, and impacts of cyclones. Besides, the chapter also describes the status of cyclonic resilience in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and India. In the end, this chapter discusses briefly the policy initiatives to combat the cyclonic disasters in India and various interlinkages among the physical, social, and economic factors. This chapter emphasises the need for an integrated approach that brings together politicians, architects, specialists, and communities to develop effective strategies for mainstreaming climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction into growth planning.
