~44 fatalities and 37,000 houses damaged! 🚨 Remal was the first cyclone to hit the Bay of Bengal this year ahead of the monsoon season. In India's northeast, Mizoram had the highest fatalities. In West Bengal's South 24 Parganas - 1.9 million people were affected, and thousands of homes were damaged. While nothing can ever really compensate for the loss - IRDAI has advised all insurers to respond/assist them through their 24x7 helplines. 👉Insurers have also been advised to speedily settle claim payments. 👉They are expected to streamline claim processing by asking for only the documentation absolutely necessary to verify the claim. 👉Regarding claims involving loss of life, if the death certificate cannot be obtained due to non-recovery of body etc. - If the details of the Insured matches with the details of the deceased published by State/Central Government or Govt. Authorities. - the claim may be considered without a death certificate. 👉Efforts shall be made to ensure that digital processes are used to make the process faster. 👉Policyholders are also encouraged to use electronic communication wherever possible to reach out. Sending prayers and hope to everyone. Let us know if we can help out in any way! #cycloneremal #cyclone #remal #breakingnews #news #relief #floodsafety #IRDAI #claims

The loss of lives in Mumbai and the high number of those #injured following the uprooting of hoardings and other items spun into becoming deadly weapons as the first #storm and #rain of the season hit the financial capital, triggers thoughts on how cities can reduce #urban #risk. Safety audits could be carried ahead of #monsoon season. The incident has spurred the civic body in Pune into action declaring 1,500 hoardings illegal. #Anticipation, #monitoring and #planning are always key to reducing loss of life and property. #Prepardness #Anticipation #DisasterRiskReduction Manu Gupta Mihir Joshi Divya Gupta Shradha C.

A tragic accident occurred on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway near Bhankrota on December 20, 2024, resulting in 14 fatalities and injuries to over 80 individuals, with at least 30 in critical condition. Sequence of Events: • Collision: An LPG tanker traveling from Ajmer to Jaipur attempted a U-turn near Delhi Public School. During this maneuver, a truck carrying blankets, bedsheets, and garments, approaching from the opposite direction, collided with the tanker. • Gas Leak and Explosion: The collision damaged the tanker’s outlet nozzle, causing a significant gas leak. The leaked LPG rapidly spread, and within minutes, ignited, leading to a massive explosion. The resulting fire engulfed approximately 34 vehicles, including trucks, trailers, buses, and other vehicles in proximity. Probable Contributing Factors: • Unsafe U-Turn: The tanker’s attempt to execute a U-turn on a busy highway created a hazardous situation, increasing the risk of collision with oncoming traffic. • High-Speed Impact: The truck’s collision with the tanker was forceful enough to rupture the tanker’s safety valves and nozzles, leading to an uncontrolled release of LPG. • Rapid Gas Dispersion: Eyewitnesses reported that the gas gushed out “like water from an overflowing dam,” indicating a substantial and rapid release, which quickly created an explosive environment. • First responders faced challenges in controlling the fire due to the intensity of the blaze and the presence of flammable materials, which prolonged rescue and firefighting efforts. Preventive Measures: • Strict Adherence to Traffic Regulations: Avoiding dangerous maneuvers, such as U-turns in high-traffic areas, especially for hazardous material carriers, is crucial. • Enhanced Vehicle Safety Inspections: Regular maintenance and inspection of safety valves and nozzles on LPG tankers can prevent leaks in the event of minor collisions. • Emergency Preparedness: Improving the readiness and response times of emergency services, along with proper training to handle hazardous material incidents, can mitigate the impact of such accidents. This incident underscores the critical importance of stringent safety protocols and adherence to traffic regulations, particularly for vehicles transporting hazardous materials, to prevent such devastating occurrences in the future. #emergencyresponce #hazardousmaterial #safetransportation #LPGsafety For a visual account of the incident, may refer to the following footage:
