Despite the improved response, each disaster taught valuable lessons on how to adapt to this new norm of rapid global environmental change. Irrespective of the causes, however, each disaster led to an irreplaceable loss of life and property, while severely affecting the lives of people who survived those disasters.
While many such events caused varied amounts of loss to life and property, the timely and effective response to these disasters have also been the highlight of this year. From excruciating heat waves to record number of cyclones, extremely long dry phases to record-breaking amounts of rainfall, 2019 saw frequent extreme weather events across the country. The year 2019 has seen almost all parts of India suffer a wide range of natural disasters. With changing weather patterns and rising global temperatures, increasing number of extreme weather events have become the new norm, especially for tropical countries like India.
