Integrated Flood Warning System (I-Flows) has been developed for two coastal cities (Chennai and Mumbai) to disseminate information on flood vulnerability in the event of heavy rains to the state government through India Meteorological Department (IMD) for mitigation actions, the Parliament was told on Thursday.
The National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR), an attached office of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, has also undertaken vulnerability studies due to sea erosion at selected locations along the Indian coast, Earth Sciences Minister Dr Jitendra Singh told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply, adding that extreme rainfall and associated flooding pose a threat to the coastal communities including fishermen.
