As we know Kerala has been affected by this kind of floods almost a century; hence being the most difficult one to deal with. The people have not only been physically affected but also strongly being impacted at a psychological level, leading to an increasing number of suicides.
Therefore, there is a strong need to provide psychosocial support in addition to physical and material help.
