6. India’s ability to manage cyclones depends on advancing forecasting expertise and robust early warning systems. Discuss. (150 words)
Difficulty level: Moderate
Reference: Down to Earth
Why the question: Forecasting cyclone tracks, speed & accompanying rainfall becomes challenging due to data gaps and rapidly warming oceans. Key Demand of the question: To write about the role of forecasting and early warning systems in disaster preparedness and management of cyclones in India. Directive word: Discuss – This is an all-encompassing directive – you must debate on paper by going through the details of the issues concerned by examining each one of them. You must give reasons for both for and against arguments. Introduction: Start by giving context. Body: In the first part, write about how the location of India makes it vulnerable to the tropical cyclone and issues in it. Next, write about role of better forecasting and early warning systems – Technological advancements, better meteorological research, and effective communication channels are key to accurate and timely warnings. Community education, resilient infrastructure, and efficient emergency response plans further enhance preparedness and reduce cyclone impact etc. Conclusion: Conclude by writing a way forward.
