The extremely severe cyclonic storm, Fani, the strongest tropical cyclone to hit India in 20 years, caused a landfall in the Bay of Bengal coast of Odisha, India in May 2019 and considerably impacted the lives and livelihoods of fisher families. The present study was based on primary data collected from 150 fishers' households located around Debi River, Mahanadi Estuary and Chilika Lagoon in Odisha. Twenty four per cent of the respondents reported severe damages to their kachha houses, while 43% respondent reported loss of fishing nets due to this extreme cyclonic event. Around 37% of the fishing boats were severely damaged. The household items and stored agricultural produce were also damaged. The damages were much less in Mahanadi Estuary and northern sector of Chilika Lagoon due to reduced intensity of the storm. The study further found that overall the resilience of the fisher households was poor. Six out of 12 indicators of resilience were in ‘crisis’ category while only four were in ‘desirable’ category. The Government needs to consider providing quick assistance to the fishers keeping in view the loss of livelihood; besides, special initiatives are necessary to be planned to enhance the resilience of the fisher households for such unforeseen events which have become regular occurrences in the east coast of Bay of Bengal.

内陆渔民对自然愤怒的抵御能力:关于极端严重飓风 Fani 对印度奥里萨邦渔民家庭社会经济和生计影响的研究

2019年5月袭击印度的最强热带气旋“法尼”极强气旋风暴于2019年5月在印度奥里萨邦孟加拉湾沿岸登陆,严重影响了渔民家庭的生活和生计。本研究基于从奥里萨邦德比河、马哈纳迪河口和奇利卡泻湖周围的 150 个渔民家庭收集的主要数据。24% 的受访者报告说,他们的 kachha 房屋遭到严重破坏,而 43% 的受访者报告说,由于这种极端的气旋事件,渔网丢失。大约 37% 的渔船严重受损。家居用品和储存的农产品也遭到破坏。由于风暴强度降低,马哈纳迪河口和奇利卡泻湖北部的损失要小得多。研究进一步发现,渔民家庭的整体复原力很差。12 个韧性指标中有 6 个属于“危机”类别,而只有 4 个属于“理想”类别。政府需要考虑为渔民提供快速援助,同时考虑到生计的损失;此外,有必要制定特别举措,以增强渔民家庭对此类不可预见事件的抵御能力,这些事件已成为孟加拉湾东海岸经常发生的事件。
