Tamil Nadu Floods, 2015
Date: Nov-Dec, 2015
Category: Flash Floods
Heavy rainfall in November and December 2015 led to one of the
worst floods in the history of Tamil Nadu and nearby coastal areas. Around
350 people died in the floods which affected an estimated 10 million people.
United Way Response:
- Facilitated
distribution of 4 lakhs tetra packs of Sofit flavoured soya milk in Chennai
and Cuddalore
- Immediate
support to 250 flood affected families for family essentials, clean
drinking water, health and hygiene kits
- Distribution
of specially designed mother and child care kits for 155 families to
reduce public health risks.
Presently United Way Mumbai is considering taking up interventions for mid-term and long-term rehabilitation of the
communities. Interventions will be in the form of construction of shelters, toilets, restoration of schools,
support for improving water and sanitation facilities, etc.
