General situation and influence of natural disasters in India in recent years

Sudden floods, severe thunderstorms and earthquakes caused by drought and monsoon climate are the main natural disasters in India. Due to natural disasters, India's grain output has declined in recent years. In the event of natural disasters, many people may return to poverty.

1. Sudden flood caused by rainfall caused by windy climate

The past 10 year witnessed many disasters, including devastating floods in Gujarat and Mumbai, super hurricanes in India, Bangladesh and Myanmar, and tsunamis affecting India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The impact of natural disasters on mosquito-borne diseases varies from region to region, depending on both the environment and people's lifestyle. Except for the super hurricane, all these events have aggravated mosquito-borne diseases, especially malaria. In India, floods destroyed the supply of health services and led to the proliferation of mosquitoes, which eventually led to the outbreak of malaria. Chikungunya fever, which was almost forgotten in India, made a comeback in some parts of the south of the country. By May 2007, it had spread to almost all parts of Kerala. Although it is impossible to find out the initial factors leading to the spread of the disease, the potential reason is that climate change has helped mosquitoes to reproduce and survive.
