Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Orissa frequently experience natural disasters, particularly cyclones. Cyclones are large-scale weather systems characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall. These tropical storms are formed over warm ocean waters and can cause extensive damage to coastal areas. Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, being located along the Bay of Bengal, are more prone to cyclones due to their proximity to this body of water.

Cyclones can lead to widespread destruction, including the destruction of buildings and infrastructure, loss of lives, and displacement of communities. These natural disasters require preparedness and timely response measures to minimize the impact on vulnerable populations. It is crucial for the governments and communities in these regions to have robust disaster management plans in place to mitigate the risks associated with cyclones and ensure the safety of the affected populations.
