Esri India Develops Monitoring Application to Aid Cyclone Dana Mitigation Efforts

Cyclone Dana is forming over the Bay of Bengal, with a low-pressure system expected to intensify into a depression by October 24, 2024. This cyclone is projected to bring heavy rainfall to regions such as Odisha, southern West Bengal, and nearby coastal areas, with landfall anticipated between October 24 and 26, and the heaviest rainfall expected around October 24.

To provide critical insights about the movement of the cyclone to authorities and the public at large, Esri India has launched DANA CYCLONE MONITORING APPLICATION today. This application integrates the data coming from IMD weather bulletins, Windy’s dynamic data, and Indo ArcGIS Living Atlas and makes it available in the form of Esri’s live dynamic dashboards. The progress of the cyclone can be tracked using Esri’s configurable dashboards that enable the authorities involved in disaster management efforts to visualize data, communicate information, and analyze real-time data on a single screen.

Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India, said “Disaster preparedness helps protect lives, property, and livelihoods, while ensuring faster recovery and minimizing long-term impacts. Live data during disasters like Cyclone Dana enable the authorities to make critical decisions, such as where to issue evacuation orders, how to mobilize resources, and more. This ensures more effective monitoring and disaster response, ultimately saving lives and resources. We are keen to support these objectives with the Dana Cyclone Monitoring ApplicationThis app can also be used by the public so that they can be better prepared.”
