The article about floods in South Asia was hopelss yet, I hope to get to find a better solution. People have drowned, died from snakebites, hunger or water-borne diseases, or have been crushed to death or electrocuted since devastating monsoon floods in India and Banglasdesh.
This addresses the problem of South Asian government dealing with its natural disaster. There is a lack of preparedness to deal with the monsoon floods -- almost an annual feature in Bihar -- than at being missed by relief efforts, citing the few helicopters and boats
India has deployed only four helicopters for air-drops in Bihar, despite complaints from United Nations officials that this was completely insufficient.
This is an effect of Global warming.In south asia flooding ia the biggest threat to humans.Specially in Bangladesh duing Monsoon flodding and by other weather problems thousands of people die every year.Two third of that nation is under water and it is the most crowded nation in the world.Other nations of the world must open the door for these people to migrate to live and settle there. Global warming is caused by some rich nations and it is their duty they must help these poor peoples.
The striking issue is there are too many people. It will be very difficult for any government to plan ahead for this expected natural 'disaster' each year. The best plan for the government is to invest in a large scale population control programme. it is easier to plan accomodation/relocate people to better areas if there are fewer people/square area & easier to feed them during times of disaster.

I must compare this to hurricane Katrina and the levees in New Orleans, because although it was portrayed as something "unexpected" in fact, people in New Orleans have experienced a similar disaster every 30 years or so (not sure the exact figure, and also noting that Katrina was bigger than usual) - the levees have never been up to par, not since Europeans started to inhabit the New Orleans area. It's not a new problem. The problem is that people keep moving back there, even though they (should) know that this is going to happen over and over again.
