Beginning in 15 August 2018, severe floods affected the south Indian state of Kerala, due to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season.[4] It was the worst flooding in Kerala in nearly a century.[5] Over 483 people died, and 15 are missing.[6] At least a million[7][8] people were evacuated, mainly from Chengannur,[9] Pandanad,[10] Edanad, Aranmula, Kozhencherry, Ayiroor, Ranni, Pandalam, Kuttanad, Aluva, and Chalakudy,N.Paravur, Chendamangalam,Eloor and few places in Vypin Island. All 14 districts of the state were placed on red alert.[11][12] According to the Kerala government, one-sixth of the total population of Kerala had been directly affected by the floods and related incidents.[13] The Indian government had declared it a Level 3 Calamity, or "calamity of a severe nature".[14][15] It is the worst flood in Kerala after the great flood of 99 that happened in 1924.



The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority has placed the state in a red alert as a result of the intense flooding.[25] A number of water treatment plants were forced to cease pumping water, resulting in poor access to clean water, especially in northern districts of the state.[26] Over 3,274 relief camps[7] have been opened at various locations to accommodate the flood victims. It is estimated that 1,247,496 people[7] have found shelter in such camps.[27][28] The flooding has affected hundreds of villages, destroyed an estimated 10,000 km (6,200 mi) of roads and thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed.
