the south Indian state Kerala, due to unusually
high rainfall during the monsoon season. It was

million people were evacuated, mainly
from Chengannur, Pandanad, Edana, Aranmula, Ko
zhencherry, Ayiroor, Rann,Pandalam, Kuttanad, M
alappuram, Alva, Chalakudy, Thrissur, Thiruvalla, Er
aviperor, Vallamkulam, North

and destroyed nearly 340,000 buildings.

devastating a huge area, flattening cities including the district capital,
Bhuj, and wrecking over 8,000 villages. Twenty thousand people were
killed and more than a million others made homeless.
• Those who witnessed the devastation at the time must have
thought this would set back development by decades.
• There was an outpouring of sympathy from around the world, much
of it from Gujaratis living abroad. Some $130m (£80m) of aid poured in.
• The Indian government was spurred into focusing on this much-
ignored region in a way it had never done before.
• The army was sent in to help with the emergency and $2bn of
reconstruction money was allocated to the region.
