SEESHA’s Emergency Relief for the flood affected in Cuddalore & Chennai

Relief efforts in Cuddalore

In November 2021, many thousands were displaced, hundreds of livestock died, and essential services were disrupted in Cuddalore as the surplus waters were discharged from reservoirs of the Thenpennair river, due to incessant monsoon rains in the region. As several houses were inundated in SEESHA’s project communities like Babukulam village and other areas of Annagramam block, our disaster response team rushed to support the stranded residents and temporarily rehabilitated them in relief shelters. Our Team also distributed food & blankets to hundreds of needy families in the communities.

Relief efforts in Chennai

Tamil Nadu’s capital Chennai came to a complete standstill during the second week of November 2021 as the city was battered by heavy monsoon rains causing severe waterlogging in many parts, submerging homes in low-lying areas, uprooting trees and causing widespread damage to properties. In addition to the Chennai civic body, NDRF teams were deployed to support the rescue & relief operations.

Supplementing the State government’s relief efforts, SEESHA Team reached out with emergency relief to address the immediate survival needs of the people worst affected by the floods in several parts of the city during the first phase of disaster intervention. Relief kits comprising dry food items, packaged food and bottled water were distributed to hundreds of families and transgender people whose homes were submerged in the floods and were left without food and other basic necessities. The SEESHA disaster response team distributed relief kits at the doorstep of the flood-hit households residing in the low-lying areas of the city.
