                               Cyclonic storms have been a recurring issue in Sri Lanka, causing widespread

 destruction and loss of life. One of the most recent example is Cyclone Ditwah which made landfall

on November 28, 2025 affecting over 1.4 million people across all 25 districts .The cyclone resulted

in 410 confirmed deaths , 336 people missing  and nearly 233 000 displaced. The central and south

central districts  including Kandy , Badulla , Nuwara Eliya , Kurunegala  and Matale  were the 

hardest hit  with landslides and flooding causing extensive damage to homes and infrastructure .

                                



                              The effects of cyclonic storms are far reaching  with damage to infrastructure,

agriculture and livelihoods. The estimated from Cyclone Ditwah is around $4.1 billion , equivalent

to about 4% of Sri Lanka's GDP . The world Health Organization (WHO) has warned of increased

health risks ,including water borne diseases  due to contaminated water sources .


                               Cyclonic storms have resulted in significant loos of life and displacement of people,

particularly in vulnerable communities. Also damage to roads , bridges and buildings has disrupted

essential services and economici activities . Cyclonic storms have damaged crops , affecting food 

security and rural livelihoods . 


                           To mitigate the effects of cyclonic storms Sri Lanka needs to invest in disaster

preparedness and infrastructure resilience.
