Dear All,

 

Please find attached the 5^th Flood Alert (Flood situation on 12^th , 13^th and 15^th  September in Odisha) of this year 2011.

 

With flood fury receding, we have combined 3-days news in this volume. This was also a compulsion as one of our key compiler had to visit his flood affected relatives  and another was trying to push flood relief efforts.

 

To combat this onslaught collectively and to expedite flood relief and information sharing efforts a group ‘Odisha Flood’ has been created in the Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/groups/198504140215443/

Please share flood and relief information and needs and contribute on your own ways to alleviate the sufferings of flood affected.
