• The Disaster Management Authority has insisted that these precautions are necessary to prevent life and property loss.

Why are these rain so dangerous

The current flood risk of Andhra Pradesh is complicated by many factors:

• Heavy upstream in Telangana and Chhattisgarh feeds the rivers of rain, Godavari and Sabari.

• Reduce already saturated soil and reservoirs, absorption capacity.

• Low-fold geography of many districts, which makes them highly unsafe for floods.

This combination makes current rain patterns particularly dangerous-only for immediate flood hazards, but also for long-term agriculture and livelihood effects.

For residents in affected districts, preparation is important. Local authorities are monitoring the level of the river and rain forecasts and activating round and disaster response teams. Emergency helpline operations are in operation for rescue and relief efforts.
