4th May: The Invitation (courtesy :-  Climate Dots)

Dear Friends,

Across the planet now we see ever more flood, ever more drought, ever more storms. People are dying, communities are being wrecked — the impacts we’re already witnessing from climate change are unlike anything we have seen before.

But because the globe is so big, it’s hard for most people to see that it’s all connected. That’s why, on May 5, 2012 the Dots will be Connected.

In places from drought-stricken Mongolia to flood-stricken Thailand, from fire-ravaged Australia to Himalayan communities threatened by glacial melt,  people will hold rallies reminding everyone what has happened in our neighborhoods. And at each of those rallies, from Kenya to Canada, from Vietnam to Vermont, someone will be holding a…dot. A huge black dot on a white banner, a “dot” of people holding hands, encircling a field where crops have dried up, a dot made of fabric and the picture taken from above.....

The organisers of the event (Connect Dots/ Climate Dots, a project of 350.org will  share those images the world around, to put a human face on climate change– they will hold up a mirror to the planet and force people to come face to face with the ravages of climate change.  CASA is doing its bit by spreading it to its own networks through this website.

IAG TN, MIINUTES OF EMERGENCY MEETING ON CYCLONE THANE

HELD ON 31ST DEC 11 @ CASA, CHENNAI, 2.00 PM

The Context

  • The preparedness mechanism focused most on the Coastal Belt of East Coast. The impacts of the Cyclonic wind were felt beyond 25 kms affecting the interior parts of Cuddalore and Pondicherry. Interestingly the Cyclone which crossed between Cuddalore and Pondicherry has created a spur of heavy rains with winds in some of the Interior parts of Tamil Nadu beyond Cuddalore which was not expected.  This eventually has created havoc, where the roof of huts/tiled house and trees were uprooted. The impacts on these lines were visible more in Cuddalore, Pondicherry and in some areas of Nagapattinam which borders Chidambaram (Cuddalore). The death toll as of now is  37 where 35 have died in Tamil Nadu and 2 in Pondicherry
