Cyclone Dana, October 2024

Cyclone Dana made landfall shortly after midnight on 25 October 2024, between Bhitarkanika in Kendrapara and Dhamra in Bhadrak. Odisha moved more than 5.8 lakh people to shelters and reported no deaths, but trees fell, power lines were damaged and several roads were blocked in Kendrapara and Bhadrak.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
When the Brahmani, Mahanadi or Kharasrota rise, move to higher ground or a flood shelter early. Keep out of floodwater, which hides ditches and, as residents have reported, crocodiles.
In a cyclone warning, go to the cyclone shelter when officials say so. Carry drinking water, medicines and documents, and do not return until the all-clear.

If a child collapses and does not respond or breathe normally, call 112 and start hands-only CPR in the centre of the chest, hard and fast, until help arrives. Every school should have two trained staff and an ambulance number on the wall.
After a flood or cyclone, stay away from fallen wires and from standing water near poles and trees, and boil or purify drinking water.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
