Present Position Of Real Estate In Kochi: Residential Buildings Are Asked To Be Banned In Flood-Prone Zones

Kochi, 3rd September 2018: Ops Manager of Post-Conflict and Disaster Management Branch of United Nations Environment Program, Mr Muralee Thummarukudy stated that the authorities should mark the areas that are susceptible to floods based on time intervals of 10, 50,100 and 500 years throughout which the calamity happens.
The historical rainfall that devastated parts of Kerala this year exposed the nation's vulnerability to flooding that can destroy residential and commercial properties within an instant. In addition to injury and death, flooding can lead to extensive infrastructure and real property damage, social instability and economic disturbance.
Residential buildings ought to be prohibited in the areas that are more vulnerable to flooding in a time interval of 10 years, said Muralee Thummarukudy. On Friday, while speaking at a program arranged by the Kerala Management Association in Kochi, he said that dam break analyses and action strategy for controlled water release from dams should be kept beforehand.
Extreme weather, sea level increase and other consequences of climate change have set many communities at high risk of flooding. Urban growth and man-made river control systems such as dykes, levees, and dams have surpassed the flood risk in these areas.
Muralee Thummarrukudy stated that, on June 14, 2018, he had written to the officials, with the warning that dams would be filled soon given the speed of heavy rainfall and situation would go out of control if urgent measures are not taken.
Contractors who intend to build in flood-prone communities should take sensible steps to estimate the flood risk and then take action to prevent or mitigate the danger. Before starting a residential building project, contractors should first contact local building department officials to comprehend the building code and flood plain management requirements for the construction sites.
Muralee Thummarrukudy also explained that the flood that happened in Kerala was entirely predictable and preventable. Flooding won't lead to lots of casualties, unlike other natural calamities. If there is adequate preparation and planning to fulfill up with the catastrophe, then the losses can be reduced. Rivers had been encroached upon. In many regions like Cheruthoni, there is rampant encroachment.
As per the Kochi real estate news source, people residing in 2 km Radius of rivers could have been granted SMS alerts on the impending disaster. There should be proper dam break analysis as well as flood mapping of these areas. An old philosophy of dam is being used in the flood-prone area which is not suggested at all. Solar energy should be the standard mean of operations, Muralee Thummarrukudy said.
He also added that the rebuilding component is of very much importance in Kerala, but the rescue and relief operations were exemplary. The Kerala officials should think about going green which must be embraced for rebuilding. If they plan to assemble whatever was there, they will be passing on crises to future generations. Evacuation shelters should be ensured at the regions in flood-prone locations.
