Through the Andhra Pradesh Disaster Recovery Project, the state will restore the damages caused to roads; public infrastructure including environmental services and facilities; and increase resilience of the power infrastructure as well as the resilience of its communities from impacts of future disasters. âThe coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh are highly vulnerable to natural disasters that can push millions into poverty. Apart from reconstructing public infrastructure that are environment friendly, the project will help the state be better prepared for the future by strengthening its disaster response system,â said Onno Ruhl, World Bank Country Director in India. âThis increasing focus towards future oriented risk mitigation programs by India is a welcome step which will ultimately benefit millions of people vulnerable to natural disasters.â In order to reduce the vulnerability of Visakhapatnamâs electrical network, the project will lay the power distribution system underground. About 700 km of 33kV, 11kV and 415 volts network lines will be converted to underground cable network. About 800 km of rural roads and 250 km of major district roads will be rehabilitated. Old cyclone shelters will be repaired with friendly design features for the elderly, women, and children. Investments will be made along the beachfront of the city of Visakhapatnam, which would include pedestrian walkways, street lighting, public toilets, landscaping and for its protection from erosion. | ||
