A severe cyclone with wind speeds of more than 200 km per hour battered the coastal regions of Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal in eastern India in the early hours of 18 October 1999.

The winds flattened thousands of traditional houses in the coastal villages and towns, uprooted trees, disrupted road and rail transportation and damaged water, electricity and telecommunication systems. Nearly 2 million people are affected, thousands have suffered injuries and around 500 people are reported dead.

ACT members, the Lutheran World Federation/World Service (LWS) India, as well as Churches Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), propose to assist the most vulnerable sections of the population affected by this latest crisis. LWS India, which has ongoing projects in several districts of both Orissa and West Bengal, immediately rushed relief materials to some of the worst affected locations.

LWS I has alerted this office of another and potentially even more devastating cyclone, with wind speeds of over 250 km per hour hitting the coastal regions of West Bengal and Orissa today.
