He said better coordination among different state and Central agencies is vital to deal with the cyclone, which is likely to make landfall near Jakhau port in Kutch district on Thursday evening packing devastating potential and very strong winds.
“The administration has set up shelter homes with rations, meals, and facilities for pregnant women and children. An action plan was put in place yesterday (Monday) for medical and health emergencies,” Mandaviya told reporters.
He said the coordination among different agencies is vital to deal with disasters.
“When all state and Central departments, the broadcast department, and the Army work in tandem, they can achieve great results. India is known in the world for its disaster management,” he said.

Mandaviya recalled a few casualties had occurred during cyclones on the east and west coasts. “I am confident we will together face the crisis and save lives,” he added.
He said Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has prepared proper (disaster management) plans keeping in mind the cyclone hitting Kutch.
“I am here to help the state administration along with other Union ministers,” he added.
He said Union Minister Parshottam Rupala is at Devbhumi Dwarka, Darshana Jardosh at Porbandar, Devusinh Chauhan at Jamnagar and Mahendra Munjpara at Gir Somnath to help the state administration in planning to deal with the cyclone.
“Ports being among the worst-affected infrastructures during cyclones, all labourers working at ports have been evacuated keeping their safety in mind, ships have been anchored and crew members shifted to safer places,” Mandaviya said.
He said workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party are fanned out in affected villages and will appeal to local people to follow the directions of the administration.
