The state of Kerala, known for its breathtaking natural beauty, faced an unprecedented disaster in August 2018 when it experienced its worst flooding since 1924. This catastrophic event, triggered by incessant monsoon rains, impacted 5.4 million people and claimed over 400 lives. Kerala's unique geographical location between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea exposes it to heavy monsoon rains, which significantly influence its maritime tropical climate. The flood's main causes can be attributed to two rainstorm episodes. Initially, flooding occurred along riverbanks due to limited dam releases as reservoirs were near capacity. Subsequently, the opening of dam shutters and torrential rainfall led to severe flooding across thirteen of Kerala's fourteen districts. Landslides added to the devastation, particularly in Wayanad, where nearly 247 landslides occurred. Despite the crisis, Kerala's Malayalam media displayed remarkable responsibility by focusing on accurate reporting, eliminating advertisements, and actively assisting with rescue efforts. International support poured in, with relief materials and aid from various countries and celebrities. The recovery process faced financial challenges, as the central government's assistance fell short of Kerala's estimated recovery needs. To address this shortfall, the state had to secure funds from the World Bank. Cleaning up flood-damaged homes, repairing infrastructure, and preventing waterborne diseases were immediate priorities, while long-term recovery plans emphasized environmental considerations and community resilience. The Kerala floods of 2018 serve as a stark reminder of the need for effective disaster preparedness and response strategies in the face of extreme weather events. The state's resilience and the support it received from both domestic and international sources underline the importance of solidarity in times of crisis.
