Areview meeting was organised recently on ‘Flood Early Warning System and Mitigation Measures’ in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, chaired by M. Shashidhar Reddy, Vice Chairman, National Disaster Management Authority.

Reddy assured that the NDMA would provide full support to the states and the early warning agencies in meeting their demand in this critical area.

Flood prediction models of the Andhra Pradesh and the Mahanadi basin were also presented during the meeting. Both these systems have proved their usefulness in prediction of flood hazard and the same type of systems could be implemented in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and other States vulnerable to flood hazard. It was also discussed that there should be a better interface between the users and early warning agencies at the state level to design user-friendly warning system.

The meeting was attended by officials from Uttar Pradesh Regional Space Centre, Ministry of Science & Technology, Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department, Andhra Pradesh State Remote Sensing Applications Centre, Central Water Commission and India Meteorological Department.
