CLOUDBURST
SUBMITTED TO :- DR. NIRMAL JEPH
ASST. PROFESSOR OF VETERINARY
MEDICINE PGIVER
Submitted By:- Department of
Veterinary Pathology PGIVER
CLOUDBURST
• A cloudburst is an extreme amount
of precipitation in a short period of time.
• sometimes accompanied by hail and thunder,
which is capable of creating flood conditions.
• Rainfall rate equal to or greater than 100 millimetres
(3.9 in) per hour is a cloudburst
• According to the Swedish weather service
defines the corresponding Swedish term
"skyfall" as 1 mm/min for short bursts and
50 mm/h for longer rainfalls
• The results of cloudbursts can be disastrous
RESPONSIBLE FACTOR FOR CLOUDBRUST
• Cloudbursts are infrequent as they occur via orographic
lift
Orographic Lift:-
when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher
elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass
gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, and
create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation
2. when a warm air parcel mixes with cooler air,
resulting in sudden condensation.
3 At times, a large amount of runoff from higher
elevations is mistakenly conflated with a
cloudburst.

BEFORE AND AFTER KEDARNATH VIEW
MEASURES THAT MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT
OUTCOME OF CLOUDBURST
• Introduce better heavy rainfall warning systems.
• Construct buildings above flood levels.
• Tackle climate change.
• Increase spending on flood defences
CONT…
• Protect wetlands and introduce plant trees
strategically.
• Restore rivers to their natural courses.
• Introduce water storage areas.
• Improve soil conditions.
WHAT VETERINARIANS CAN DO:-
1. The search and rescue operations.
2. Maintenance of medical supply.
3. Information dissemination.
4. Disaster assessment.
5. Pre-disaster planning.
6. Controll of zoonotic diseases.
