The workshop was held in Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, from 4 to 6 March 1999. The workshop was organized by the Government of India in cooperation with the Office of the FAO Representative for India and the FAO Fishery Industries Division (FII). Seventy-five participants attended the workshop from four Asian countries a nd from regional organizations and development agencies. The participants represented National and State Governments, National and State fisheries administrations, National and State meteorological organizations, fishers’ associations, Indian Coastguard, Mercantile Marine Department, gender specialists and NGOs. After making a detailed analysis of the events occurring at sea and on land on 6 and 7 November 1996 in East Godaveri District (when a severe cyclone caused large loss of lif e on the east coast of India), the workshop addressed the issues of cyclone forecasting and dissemination in India and in the region, awareness programmes for disaster preparedness, gender concerns with regard to disaster preparedness and management, search and rescue operations, the use of radio transceivers at sea and on land for cyclone warnings, improvements of mechanized fishing vessels and their equipment.

No results found.Andhra Pradesh in India assumes an unfortunate distinction of facing maximum number of devastating cyclones among the states bordering Bay of Bengal. The delta areas of Krishna and Godavari had been more prone to it. The 1977 Diviseema cyclone was the most catastrophic in the recent history. The Cyclone of 6th November 1996 in East Godavari district was equally destructive. Total deaths and missing cases together were 2760 of which fisherfolk were 1435 apart from huge property loss. Though the c yclone prediction system could locate the cyclone, its actual path and intensity and the areas it would strike are probably not so predictable. Adding to that the cyclone warning dissemination system had many limitations by which the villagers or the fisherfolk in fishing areas did not get the messages in advance. FAO, Govt. of India and the Dept. of Fisheries, Andhra Pradesh Government, have proposed a pilot project to provide direct radio communication to the villages and fishermen at sea and to initiate appropriate sea safety measures and to study their effectiveness. Bhairavapalem & Balusutippa, the two worst affected villages during November, 1996 cyclone are hence proposed as pilot villages. Action for Food Production (AFPRO) took up the baseline study for F AO in this regard. The study aims_ at giving the basic details of the two pilot villages as well as the general account of the villages affected by November, 1996 cyclone, analysing the Cyclone Warning Dissemination System an d to make suggestions for improvement. -

No results found.This is the 38th of a series of Working Papers prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, draught powe r, fuel and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly.
