Violent rain and flood caused severe damage to Kerala. Because 100,000 people were inundated and destroyed, displaced people were forced to evacuate to evacuation centers. Safe drinking water, food, health facilities, evacuation centers are seriously shortage. The country has never seen disasters of this size. We are responsible for helping affected people and rebuilding their lives. ICICI Bank offers rupees. One billion Indian rupees will provide relief and assistance to flood-affected areas in Kerala. For customers in Kerala state in August, the bank also waives a fine for EMI delay payment of all retail loans (residential, automobile, individual). In addition, there is no penalty for delaying payment of credit card fee and rebounding of checks for customers of this month's Carrara Bank.

Kerala lacks a flood forecasting system: Kerala is vulnerable to heavy rains and floods, but lacks an adequate flood forecasting system. The Central Water Commission (CWC), the only flood prediction institution in India, lacks information on flood conditions in Kerala. As local people have no room in advance for the situation, this makes the situation even worse. CWC has set up a flood monitoring site in the state, but some of it will not work. Excessive release of water from the dam: More than 20 dams released large amounts of water and exacerbated the situation when Kerala already dealt with serious floods. Why did not you free water before? What does the authorities do before the monsoon arrives in India?
