Cyclone Yaas: Latest Live Images Path And Location

Esri India, the country's leading Geographic Information System (GIS) Software & Solutions provider, has developed a map to follow Cyclone Yass Live Path. The map is built through ArcGIS we AppBuilder and updates real-time on the weather, wind speed, number of households and population in the area. 

Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India, said, “The goal of any warning system is to maximize the number of people who take appropriate and timely action for the safety of life and property. The Cyclone Yass Live Path map is specifically developed to provide real-time updates leveraging Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in order to people and institutions better prepare and temporarily re-locate to lesser severe areas. This can prove to be instrumental in saving lives.”

The Storm over Eastcentral Bay of Bengal moved north-northwestwards with a speed of around 4 kmph during the previous 6 hours, and lay focused around 630 km north-northwest of Port Blair (Andaman Islands), 520 km south-southeast of Paradip (Odisha), 620 km south-southeast of Balasore (Odisha) and 610 km south-southeast of Digha (West Bengal). 

The Strom is required to escalate into an extreme cyclonic tempest over the course of the following 12 hours and into a serious cyclonic tempest over the ensuing 24 hours, the climate division said in the early evening release.

In a disaster scenario like Cyclone, Esri is leveraging its mapping technology to help masses, NGO’s and the government with scientifically generated & processed weather information and forecasts, with Geographic reference. The portal provides early information like forecast position, forecast trend, observed track for cyclone, wind speed, watches and warnings among others, that can be useful in mapping and risk preparedness. The Clone Yass Live Path application can help in early preparedness in terms of most affected areas, evacuation planning, shelters and rehabilitation plans.
