A devastated Vishakapatnam has brought home the need for coastal cities to be climate resilient, in terms of extreme events with respect to preparation and infrastructure. Recent studies indicate that there is a long way to go in achieving this. Both the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007 and the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India had said there would be a high likelihood of increase in the intensity of cyclonic events on the east coast of India. A working paper on Planning Climate Resilient Coastal Cities–Learning from Panaji and Visakhapatnam by TERI, says that it is highly pertinent to build climate proofing infrastructure and services, given the climate sensitive nature of the existing infrastructure systems in the cities. The study says it is imperative to assess sea-level rise combined with other factors such as storm surge and cyclones and changes in precipitation.
