About the Book: Natural Disaster Women's Coping Strategy
The book examines the consequences of the Super Cyclone of 1999 that hit twelve
districts in the coast of Orissa with a speed of 260 km. per hour causing
unprecedented damage to lives, assets, ecology and environment. After recording
the process of relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction and construction in the
cyclone-devastated areas, it focuses its particular attention on the coping
strategy of dalits and women, to develop the coping strategy both as the
immediate intervention and long-term mechanism.
