"Tsunami Alert: How Karachi is Preparing for the Worst"

 The Threat of Tsunami in Karachi

KARACHI: Due to the possibility of intensifying monsoon currents in Sindh starting tomorrow (Tuesday).  the Met office issued an urban flooding advisory for Karachi and other cities on            Monday.

Dr. Sardar Sarfaraz, chief meteorologist, noted that the current weather system was anticipated to gradually get worse, first affecting southeast portions of Sindh on Tuesday afternoon or in the evening, and then affecting northeast areas, including Karachi, late at night with sporadic heavy rainfall. According to him, the heaviest rain is predicted to fall starting on June 11 when the low pressure region that is developing in eastern India would enter Pakistan and gather strength from the weather over the Arabian Sea. "After that, it probably will have an impact on all of Sindh. But prior to that, there would be intermittent mild to high falls in numerous areas of the province, he added, noting that the current weather pattern had obstructed the sea breeze, making Karachi hot and muggy.

Areas Which May Be Affected:

According to the Met department advisory, sea conditions are predicted to turn difficult or very rough from Jun 10 through 15, and fishermen are urged to exercise additional caution.rain-thunderstorms with scattered heavy falls are expected in Tharparkar, Umerkot, Mirpurkhas, Badin, Tando Mohammad Khan, Tando Allahyar, Hyderabad, Matiari, Thatta, Sujawal, Sanghar, Shaheed Benazirabad, Khairpur, Sukkur, Larkana, Ghotki, Kashmore, Shikarpur, Jacobabad, Dadu, Jamshoro and Qambar Shahdadkot during Jun 9-15.

In low-lying parts of Karachi, Hyderabad, Badin, Thatta, Sujawal, Tando Muhammad Khan, Tando Allahyar, Dadu, Jamshoro, Qambar Shahdadkot, Larkana, and Sukkur throughout the projected period, heavy rains may cause water logging or urban flooding. From June 12, rainfall intensity is also anticipated to increase in Balochistan's northeastern and southern districts, which could result in flash floods in the districts of Dadu, Jamshoro, Qambar Shahdadkot, and downstream.

It further said that more strain could be placed on Hub dam, Thaddo dam, and areas downstream by persistently heavy rainfall over the Khuzdar, Lasbela, and Hub districts and across the Kirthar range.

History Of Floods & Tsunami In Coastal Belt Of Pakistan:

Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan, is located on the coast of the Arabian Sea. While the city has not experienced a tsunami in recent history, experts have expressed concern that any major earthquake could trigger a tsunami along Karachi's coast due to deep seas and unusual underground geographical changes. In 1945, a deadly earthquake occurred 100 miles south of Karachi in the Northern Arabian Sea, triggering a tsunami which resulted in the loss of over 4,000 lives. Since then, no tsunami has occurred off the coast of Karachi. However, the location of the city makes it susceptible to a host of climatic disasters. Legislation is essential to timely evacuate residents from coastal settlements in the event of an earthquake. In 2005, following an earthquake in Muzaffarabad, the seismic center of Karachi was made more efficient and three tsunami warning towers have been installed since then.

Geography:

Geographically, the coastal belt of Sindh and Balochistan, which covers an area of 1,100 km, has witnessed tsunamis triggered by earthquakes as well as islands emerging in the coastal areas. These extraordinary activities certainly point to the presence of underground gases and other factors.

Risk Of Tsunami:

According to Ameer Haider Laghari, Director Meteorological Department, Karachi, earthquakes have two causes: one is fault line and the other is boundary line. The risk of tsunami in Karachi cannot be ruled out due to the presence of three seismic plates in which the subdivision is slowly sinking.

Measures Taken By Government:

Two more warning towers have been installed in coastal areas of Balochistan in Gwadar and Pisni. About 14 towers will be installed by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) at various places in Sindh in the near future. The main purpose of installing these towers is to warn residents of coastal areas in case of any emergency. Tide gauges have been installed at various coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan to monitor sea waves. In this regard, not only is the situation monitored but also alerts are issued if the height of waves exceeds 6 meters. A tsunami alert is usually issued for an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale in the Arabian Sea.

Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD):

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) holds responsibility for seismic monitoring and tsunami early warning in Pakistan. It is their liability to disseminate earthquake information to government and non-government organizations as well as to the public after any event occurs. All stations are linked with central recording stations at Karachi and Islamabad through satellite communication systems. Beside broad band stations, a parallel program for installing short period (1s) sensors for close monitoring of faults and local seismicity is running.

Floods In The History:

In addition to tsunamis, Pakistan has also experienced severe flooding throughout its history. In August 2010, Pakistan suffered one of its most severe floods that affected approximately 20 million people and destroyed homes, crops and infrastructure. The floods caused over $14.9 billion worth of damage and $15.2 billion worth of economic losses. The housing; agriculture and livestock; and transport and communications sectors suffered the most significant damage at $5.6 billion; $3.7 billion; and $3.3 billion respectively. Sindh was the worst affected province with close to 70 percent of total damages and losses followed by Balochistan; Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; and Punjab. The floods affected 33 million people and more than 1730 lost their lives. They particularly impacted the poorest and most vulnerable districts with flood waters stagnant in many areas causing water-borne and vector-borne diseases to spread. More than 8 million displaced people faced a health crisis with loss of household incomes; assets; rising food prices; and disease outbreaks impacting vulnerable groups. Women suffered notable losses particularly those associated with agriculture and livestock. The national poverty rate may increase by 3.7 to 4 percentage points potentially pushing between 8.4 and 9.1 million more people below poverty line while multidimensional poverty can potentially increase by 5.9 percentage points implying that an additional 1.9 million households are at risk of being pushed into non-monetary poverty.

National Flood Protection Plan:

The government has already started updating its national flood protection plan by adopting global best practices for updating its flood risk framework. Early warning systems that make use of weather data and modeling can alert authorities to an expected flood and give them time to start evacuations and put in place contingencies for critical sectors such as agriculture.

International Water Management Institute (IWMI):

Flood inundation models developed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and partners have helped to anticipate the depth and extent of flooding in Sri Lanka allowing governments and communities to take preemptive measures that reduce the negative effects. Insurance schemes supported by the government can also help small-scale farmers; businesses; and households recover after a climate event. IWMI and its partners have piloted index-based flood insurance in India and Bangladesh offering protection for agricultural livelihoods during floods limiting the long-term effect on food systems and food security.

Compensation:

Compensation for flood damage to crops totaled $150,000 between 2017 and 2020 allowing 7,000 families to repair their homes and farms and recover from the losses. Another example is the use of nature-based solutions or green infrastructure to harness the ability of ecosystems like wetlands to regulate water flow and absorb flood water.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, while Karachi has not experienced a tsunami in recent history it is important for residents and authorities to remain vigilant and prepared for such an event. The installation of warning towers and tide gauges along with legislation for timely evacuation are important steps towards ensuring safety of residents in case of a tsunami.

Integrating Technology: Smart Tractors and Weather Adaptation in Indian Farming

Indian agriculture is undergoing complete transformation by integrating advanced technology. Using smart tractors and innovative farming techniques, the farmers adapt to the changed weather conditions, which consequently increases their productivity. Let's see how these innovations are shaping the future of Indian farming.

The Rise of Smart Tractors

Smart tractors have various advanced technologies inbuilt within them, which are in the form of GPS, sensors, and even IoT devices. Using all these features, it would allow farmers to more easily keep track of what they need to do with regard to their fields. Due to GPS systems, farm vehicles like tractors could more easily navigate the plot while utilizing every inch of that particular piece of land by carrying out precision farming methods with lesser wastage, maximising crop yields as much as possible.

Timely Data for Wise Decision

The smart tractors collect real-time data on the soil conditions, weather pattern, and crop health. Such data will be fundamental in making informed decisions for when to plant, when to irrigate, and when to harvest. Sensors, for instance, may measure the levels of the moisture in the soil, where irrigation is made only in fields that are necessary; hence, this saves a lot of water and crops are hydrated adequately.

Weather Adaptation

Weather adaptation has become an integral part of modern farming in India. With unpredictable weather patterns resulting from climate change, extreme conditions are something farmers are now prepared for. The smart tractors help them adapt to the changes, providing accurate weather forecasts and alerts. It enables them to take precautions beforehand - protecting crops from heavy rains or drought conditions.

Automation and Efficiency

The other major benefit of high-tech tractors is its automation. Labour-intensive tasks like tilling the soil, sowing seeds, and harvesting crops are completed quickly and efficiently with minimal human intervention. This not only saves time and labour but also reduces costs by enhancing overall farm productivity. The repetitive work automatically done will free up man power to concentrate on strategically important issues of farming like plans and crop management.

Rural Sustainability

Smart tractors ensure responsible farming through the proper management of resources. Techniques adopted in precision farming decrease fertilisers and pesticides in its excess use, hence they are not harmful to nature. Additionally, by supervising and managing soil health one can ensure the fertility and avoid erosion of the soil, thus contributing to sustainable farming practices and the long-term viability of agriculture in India.

Government Support and Initiatives

The Indian government is aggressively promoting the adoption of smart farming technologies through various initiatives and subsidies. Under the flagship programs like Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) and National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA), funds and other resources are allocated to farmers to implement such modern technologies. This can be one of the biggest accelerators in the adoption of smart tractors and all other innovations in Indian agriculture.

Conclusion

Integration of technology in Indian farming, such as smart tractors, will revolutionize the agricultural sector. They will make farming easier, adapting to changed weather patterns and efficiency along with reduced harm to the environment. This way, it will enhance food security and economic growth in the future of farming.

Tractor Seva is available for tractor service or its maintenance. Tractor Seva provides specific maintenance and accessories in order to keep your tractors in working condition so that you will not have a delay in your farm activities. If you want more information, visit www.tractorseva.com.

India’s eastern coast braces for Cyclone Dana, tropical storm batters Philippines

With Tropical Cyclone Dana approaching, India is closing schools and airports on Thursday, while in the Philippines tens of thousands of people are fleeing their homes due to Tropical Storm Trami, Asian media reported.

India evacuates more than a million

More than one million people will be evacuated in the Indian state of Odisha, located off the coast of the Bay of Bengal, due to the approaching tropical Cyclone Dana․

Major airports will be closed overnight, including the key centre of Kolkata, where heavy rain is already drenching the sprawling metropolis.

The eye of the storm is forecast to make landfall early Friday near the coal-exporting port of Dhamara, about 230 kilometres (140 miles) southwest of the Kolkata metropolis.

It is also expected to affect neighbouring low-lying Bangladesh, where interim government chief Muhammad Yunus said “massive preparations” were underway.

The crashing waves are expected to inundate coastal areas, with water levels rising two metres (6.5 feet) above normal high tide levels. Odisha Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling said “about one million people from coastal areas are being evacuated to centres where the cyclone is passing through.”

Very heavy rains

In the neighbouring state of West Bengal, government minister Bankim Chandra Hazra said that “more than 100,000 people have already been shifted to safer places.”

Businesses in Puri, a popular beach resort, have been ordered to close and tourists to leave. Kolkata airport director Pravat Ranjan Beuria said the airport would suspend flights overnight Thursday due to “predicted strong winds and heavy to very heavy rainfall.”

The Bhubaneshwar city airport will do the same, while dozens of trains have been cancelled and ferries from Kolkata have been ordered to remain in port.

Authorities in the states of Odisha and West Bengal have also closed all educational institutions in areas that could be hit by the rampage and deployed a total of 56 teams of the national disaster response force. The Indian Coast Guard said it was on high alert and mobilised its vessels and aircraft.

Tropical Storm Trami wreaks havoc in the Philippines

Tropical Storm Trami has killed at least 26 people and forced more than 150,000 people in the Philippines to flee their homes.

Trami, known as Severe Tropical Storm Kristine, pounded the main island of Luzon with torrential rains, causing widespread flooding and landslides.

With maximum sustained winds of 59 mph, the storm was moving westwards across the mountainous northern Cordillera region towards the South China Sea, the state weather agency said in a weather bulletin issued at 11 a.m. (0300 GMT).

It warned of heavy and intense rain, flooding, landslides and storm surges in some northern provinces.

Officials said that in most cases over the past few days, people died because they drowned or were covered by landslides. All of these have occurred in the central Bicol region, including the city of Naga, where 14 deaths were reported on Thursday.

Trami struck the northeastern town of Divilacan in Isabela province. The city’s emergency management chief Ezikiel Chavez said there were no reports of fatalities. The Philippines typically records an average of 20 tropical storms a year, which often bring torrential rains, high winds and deadly landslides.

Top Tips for Driving Safely During the  Monsoon Season

The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the summer heat, but it also presents unique challenges for drivers. Wet roads, reduced visibility, and unexpected obstacles can make driving more hazardous. Whether you're commuting to work or embarking on a scenic road trip, following these top tips can help ensure your safety on the roads during the rainy season.

1. Ensure Your Vehicle is Monsoon-Ready

Before heading out, make sure your vehicle is in optimal condition. Check the brakes, windshield wipers, headlights, and tire tread. Proper maintenance is key to safe driving in wet conditions.

If you encounter a flooded area, it's best to turn around and find an alternate route. If you must drive through water, go slowly and stay in the middle of the road, where water is usually shallower.

5. Avoid Sudden Movements

Sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns can cause your vehicle to skid on wet roads. Drive smoothly and gradually. Slow down well before turns and intersections, and apply brakes gently. This cautious approach helps maintain traction and control over your vehicle.

6.Stay Informed About Weather Conditions

During the monsoon season, weather conditions can change rapidly. Check the weather forecast before you start your journey and plan your route accordingly. Avoid areas prone to flooding and be prepared for potential delays. If conditions are too severe, consider postponing your trip.

7. Carry Emergency Supplies

It's always a good idea to carry emergency supplies, especially during the monsoon season. Include items like a flashlight, first-aid kit, water, and a basic toolkit. LowCars ensures that each vehicle is stocked with essential emergency supplies, providing added peace of mind during your travels.

8. Stay Calm and Patient

Driving in the rain can be stressful, but it's important to stay calm and patient. Avoid aggressive driving and understand that other drivers may also be struggling with the conditions. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination, and don't rush.

Conclusion

Driving safely during the monsoon season requires extra caution and preparation. By maintaining your vehicle, driving carefully, and staying informed about weather conditions, you can navigate rainy roads more safely. Prioritize these tips to ensure a secure journey and enjoy the season’s beauty without compromising your safety.
