Indian authorities began mass evacuations ahead of Cyclone Arnab’s landfall, moving tens of thousands of residents to safer locations as the storm approached densely populated coastal areas. The immediate risks include storm surge, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, infrastructure damage and power outages. Emergency services are expected to focus on rescue operations, shelter, medical support and restoring communications, while the storm’s inland trajectory will determine the scale of further impacts.
