Relief Wed South Asia Program Director Nimmi Gowrinathan travelled to Bihar, India to survey the flood damage in the area.

The report starts from August as the floods struck and chronicles the sequence of events till November. The initial frenzy of the flood & confusion as people panic and relief exists as only a mirage to the slow grind of the government machinery are documented. The report takes a grass root level look at the unfolding of events providing a man on the ground viewpoint to us.

The report also serves as a calling card to the rest of the nation as it remains mostly insulated from the disaster & media attention shifts to greener pastures!
