disaster response

Once plagued by severe monsoon flooding, Gorakhpur has transformed its disaster response. With support from the Gorakhpur Municipal Corporation and tech solutions by Canarys, the city’s flood warning system now helps residents act within two hours — instead of 12.

In Malleyan, Punjab, heavy rains destroyed the only road linking two villages, stranding 35 schoolchildren. With floodwaters rising and no rescue in sight, two locals stepped in, forming a human bridge to help them cross safely. Their bravery turned a crisis into a story of courage and community.
