Cyclone Biparjoy hit Gujarat in May 2021, causing significant damage to the state. Some of the measures taken to ensure the safety of its residents and minimize the impact include:

• The state government raised alerts and issued warnings about the cyclone in advance, asking people to stay indoors and avoid using the coast for fishing and other activities.
• Mass evacuation was carried out in the affected areas to ensure the safety of people. Over 1.5 lakh people were evacuated to safer locations, including relief camps and other temporary shelters.
• The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams were deployed in the areas to carry out rescue and relief operations as soon as the cyclone hit. They provided medical assistance, food, water, and other essential supplies to affected people.
• Electricity and water supply were cut as a precautionary measure to prevent accidents due to falling trees and damaged electric poles.
• The state government set up control rooms and helplines to provide information and assistance to the affected people.

The impact of Cyclone Biparjoy was significant, but these measures helped in minimizing the damage and ensuring the safety of people.
