Pushpendra Johari, senior vice president, sustainability, RMSI said“Cyclone Tauktaeis an unique event that has impacted all coastal western states and union territories of India . Though the cyclone effect on Kerala, Karnataka and  Maharashtra and Goa was not severe, Gujarat and Diu are badly impacted.”

“Though the cyclone has made a landfall , this is not the end of our distress. Recent climate change studies have highlighted rising  sea surface temperature in the Arbian sea. This will increase the cyclone frequency in these region. We should improve our preparedness even further to deal with more such events in future.”
