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.

Update on CASA’s Response to Cyclone Thane, as of 19th January 2012 PDF Print E-mail

Not much could withstand a wind speed of 150km/hr. Thane cyclone created havoc in Cuddalore district and Pondicherry, when it struck on the fateful day of 30th December 2011. What remained after the tsunami was taken away by cyclone Thane. The cyclone blew away and damaged several of the thatched houses, neither did it spare people living in the Pucca houses. A lot damage was caused by uprooted trees falling on the roads and on top of houses.  Anything that rose over 10 feet was not spared by the cyclone. The coconut trees towering a height of more than 20 ft took the worst hit. The Cyclone did ensure its reach to the industrial sector, where industrial workshops were blown apart. Trees and Electrical poles along the high way and other roads were uprooted. The damage to the electric poles plunged cuddalore in darkness for more than ten days with electricity supply just coming back to a few places.
