Abstract
The severe cyclone storm
"Phailin" that hit the coast of Odisha on October
12, 2013, brought with it very high speed winds and heavy
rainfall that caused extensive damages particularly to
houses, standing crops, power and communication
infrastructure in the coastal districts of the state. The
need to immediately start recovery and reconstruction work
after Cyclone Phailin, especially in the affected districts,
has prompted the state government, in collaboration with the
World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, to initiate an
assessment of the recovery needs in order to draw up a
comprehensive recovery framework. This rapid damage and
needs assessment report details the damage caused due to the
storm, and the action taken for effective recovery after the
impact. It provides a detailed analysis of the affected
sectors, the extent of damages sustained, the reconstruction
and recovery needs, and the recovery strategy.
