தமழபபதனஙகளல வளளப பரடர கலபபதவகள மறறம மலணமச சநதனகள / Flood Disaster Chronology and Management Considerations in Tamil Novels

Natural forces run the world. Changes in those natural phenomena disrupt the life of living beings on Earth. In that case, the changes in nature would be disastrous. These disasters can be categorised into two main types: artificial catastrophes and natural disasters. Human activities cause most natural disasters. Life in the world is in harmony with nature. In life, due to nature, there are dangers in certain situations. The government is implementing many efforts through laws to save people and other lives from such hazards. In the absence of a formal government organisation, volunteers have been helping with this for a long time. In this way, there has been a danger of flooding caused by water in the lives of ancient people. The ancient people built a dam to save themselves from that danger. People have tried to save themselves, their dependents and their belongings when there is a flood in the area of dam construction and other situations. They have migrated from there to other safe places. First, women and children saved movable and easily salvageable items. The rescued people are kept in a safe place. They provide food, dry mats and clothes to the people who have lost everything. They make the flood flow from their place. Tamil novels portray the registration of such disasters as floods and their management. This paper scrutinises glimpses of flood disasters and management featured in Tamil novels.
