There is a need to devise a long-term strategy to lessen the damage caused by the recurring floods every year by relocating people as the donors cannot help the affected people again and again, said Caritas Internationals Secretary General Michel Roy to the International News. "Need of the hour was to work towards community preparedness. The climate across the glob is changing and communities have to be prepared to reduce the risk in case of any disaster," he said.
