It is indeed very sad how natural disasters like this are getting more common due to our own doing and how little the government cares about all this. The highest level of lack of compassion for it citizens. I am glad your village wasn't impacted much.
This makes me remember the severe flood that plagued some states in my country not even up to a month ago. Lives were lost and properties worth millions destroyed, people were rendered homeless but no one, not the president, not the governor even commented on it.
