    Suggested measures for minimum damage

    - infrastructure of public and private + made disaster resilient in phased manner
    - IT/GIS based models for prevention, preparedness + Risk Atlas
    - web-based post disaster need assessment model +Stakeholder awareness generation

    govt initiative

    - National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project under NDMP

    for further do's and don't - read at http://ncrmp.gov.in/?page_id=8076
    The recent cyclone on east coast of India was called ‘Phailin’. How are the tropical cyclones named across the world? Elaborate. (5 marks 100 words.) UPSC 2013

    Answer key points

    *Cyclones are named by five regional bodies of World meteorological organization (WMO), for their respective regions.
    *Each of them free to prepare the list of names and naming rules.
    *for example- For Tropical cyclones in North Indian Ocean region, the Regional body headquartered at Indian Meteorological dept (IMD), New Delhi maintains the list of names suggested by member countries. Final name is assigned in Chronological order of the occurrence e.g Mahasen, Phailin and Helen in 2013.
    *Locally known Short names are preferred for easy communication at grassroot. Names associated with famous person or religion are avoided.
    *If a Cyclone causes extensive damage, its name is struck off the list so it cannot be used again- e.g. Katrina.

    Yes, felt so. I meant that while mentioning mitigations we can say that we need do strenghten/develop our initial warning systems while putting words like 'using ISRO's ability or using recently launched satellite X etc.
    If we are on suggestion or pragmatic side, then also it is advised to use. Food for thought- it would make your point related to technology more legitimate while checking India's space achievement over a time.
    Is it too much to consider, as it would just add 5-6 more words to your answer!!
