Thank you Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji for visiting #Odisha in the aftermath of #CycloneYaas. Apprised him about the large scale devastation caused by the cyclone and steps taken by the State Govt ahead of the cyclone and the ongoing restoration efforts.
As the country is at the peak of #COVID19 pandemic, we have not sought any immediate financial assistance to burden the Central Govt and would like to manage it through our own resources to tide over the crisis. #OdishaFightsYaas
Sought assistance for long term measures to make #Odisha disaster resilient as we are frequented by such climate hazards every year. Highlighted #Odisha’s demand for disaster resilient power infrastructure and resilient coastal protection with storm surge resilient embankments.

Today, my council of ministers passed this resolution.
World has changed its perception about #Odisha’s ability to deal with disasters in the course of last two decades. There was a time when we evoked pity. Today, the Odisha model of disaster management draws global admiration.
At centre of this transformation is deep conviction that ‘Every life is precious’. Our preparedness is rooted on community involvement & #COVID19 has created a new reality for us. Unlike a cyclone that comes & goes, the pandemic has brought in two new dimensions of human crisis.
One, is the inability to put a timeline as to when a crisis will move on. The second, is the way a crisis may assume new and unexpected forms. The time has come for us to create a massive knowledge infrastructure in the State that will make everyone a warrior.
Appeal everyone who comes to #Odisha from abroad to register themselves through toll free number (104) or online portal covid19.odisha.gov.in to be part of Odisha’s effort in preventing spread of #CoronaVirus. It will help us in protecting you & your family from #COVID19.
The registration should be done within 24 hours of arrival with basic details and phone numbers. Advanced registration before arrival will be highly preferable. They will be required to be in home quarantine for 14 days and given an incentive of ₹15,000 for registration.
The direction is as per the overall regulation and anyone not complying the same will be punishable under provisions of IPC. The initiative is taken as an abundant caution to protect people from getting infected by people who could be carriers of #COVID19, coming from abroad.
