Disaster management is the making of plans through which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards. It does not avert or eliminate the threats but creates plans to decrease their effect. Failure to create a plan can lead to deaths, damage assets and squander revenue. There should be preparedness and rehabilitation plans for before and after a disaster.
Rakhine State is suffering from Cyclone Roanu which is also predicted to cause floods and landslides in upper Myanmar. “Maungdaw and Sittwe districts are expected to be affected by the storm. The delta region could also be affected. There could be high waves, strong winds and heavy rains. The storm still poses a threat while moving inland, possibly affecting Chin State, Magway Region and Mandalay Region which could encounter heavy rain, strong winds, flooding and landslides,” said meteorologist Chit Kyaw.
