For the first time in IMD’s recorded history, Cyclone Hudhud ran over a green city like Visakhapatnam. It emerged as the first high-intensity cyclonic storm on Oct 12, 2014, to make landfall at wind speeds of 206 kmph.

Around two hundred and seventy-five thousand people have been evacuated to about 400 cyclone shelters. Communication has been lost and roads have been blocked with uprooted trees. Many huts & small house have been blown away. A lot of greenery has been lost.

A strong voluntary team has been formed in Vizag and the following have been accomplished meticulously:

• Immediate Food Packs/essentials to the neediest in remote areas of Vizag outskirts.
• Hundreds of Rice/Dal/Oil/Sugar packs & essential commodities distributed in the most remote/affected areas.
• Hundreds of Tarpaulins have been distributed to as many huts as possible so they may have a roof that helps them staying indoors enduring days of incessant rain post-Hudhud.
• Clothing aid little monetary aid to the poor/helpless, Tree/sapling planting at a few schools.
• Hundreds of Asbestos Sheets & Cement Bags distributed to small shed type houses that had their roofs blown away.
