Cyclone Threatens Three IDS Projects in Andra Pradesh and Orrissa

In case you might be following the news, there is a cyclone, Phailin, that is about to hit the AP and Orissa coast in a hours time. We have 3 projects in that area including tribal hamlet schools, the tribal nutrition program, and a disaster mitigation project. I just got off the phone with our partners in Orissa to get a sense of their preparations. You can follow the cyclone at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Phailin https://www.ndtv.com/article/cheat-sheet/cyclone-phailin-now-hours-away-from-odisha-andhra-pradesh-coasts-trains-cancelled-431347 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Wind-rain-sea-pound-eastern-India-as-Cyclone-Phailin-nears/articleshow/24031275.cms https://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/cyclone-phailin-live-scouting-winds-pick-up-speed-landfall-at-5-30-pm_882698.html
