Question 2.
In the unit Disasters you have read about heart-rending Kurnool floods. You might have come across such type of disasters in your life.
Describe it in your own words?
Answer:
A River in Flood
I used to be in Calcutta during summers. In one summer as the rainy season drew near, it started raining heavily for many days on end. So the water level in the river Ganga began to rise and soon it was in flood. Soon the water began to overflow the banks. When we heard of the flood, we, under the organisation of a voluntary social welfare society Help planned to visit the flooded villages. It was terrible. There was water everywhere.
The current was strong. Men and animals struggled between life and death. Many things were seen floating in the water. Here and there we could see the carcasses on the surface of water. Water seemed to be devouring all. Some villagers climbed up the trees to save their lives but they had nothing to eat or drink. Their condition was very miserable. We tried hard and threw some packets of food from the aeroplane and even saved some people
The flood caused a great havoc. Many houses collapsed and many people lost their home. A large number of trees were uprooted. Traffic remained dislocated for weeks together. Crops were completely destroyed. The means of communication were all under water, therefore access was possible only by boats. Many people met a watery grave
After three days the flood began to subside. The people felt relieved. The government also rose to the occasion and began to help the people. Loans were given to the victims for building their houses and purchasing cattle. Many rich people donated large sums of money. The homeless were given temporary accommodation in schools, dharmashalas, etc
As an epidemic was feared preventive measures were taken and people were inoculated against cholera. The victims could start normal life again after two or three months. But they could never have forgotten these horrible experiences which, for the time being, completely checked the normal flow of life

Write a diary entry of that day?
Answer:
30th September 2009
Dear Diary,
Oh, God ! I bitterly cried and I didnt know what to do when the surging waters rushed into my tiny mud shack and it collapsed. My four children and I fled for shelter to a roadside situated above water level. We stayed there for two days without food to eat and water to drink. I watched my children helplessly with great pain not knowing what to do. I got a great relief when the relief team brought us here in my utter despair. I could never have forgotten this horrible experience in my life. Thank God ! Finally you saved us.
