Due to heavy flood waters in Northern India, thousands of homes have been washed away and 2 million have been forced to evacuate within 24 hours. 17 people have been confirmed dead but that number will indefinitely rise. There paramilitary troops have been working to evacuate these people to safer locations. I wonder if much of this could have been prevented by a faster warning system? My thoughts are with these people in need.
