“…Particularly, PTSD was considered as one of the common negative psychological outcomes following natural disasters such as floods (e.g. Patel et al, 2015; Srivastava et al, 2015). Nevertheless, recent studies have also suggested that not all people who experience trauma go on to develop PTSD (e.g.…”

A total of 187 flood victims from Wuhu, a Chinese city affected most severely by a flood during July 2016, were selected to complete self-report measures of traumatic exposure, feelings of safety, fear, posttraumatic negative cognition, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The results found that traumatic exposure could directly predict posttraumatic stress disorder. Besides, traumatic exposure had indirect prediction on posttraumatic stress disorder through three ways, including a one-step path of negative self-cognition, a two-step path from feelings of safety to fear, and a three-step path from feelings of safety to negative self-cognition via fear. Implications and future directions are correspondingly discussed.

Background: Mental health being a major concern gradually rising from the shadows, post-traumatic stress disorder is triggering as a major public health issue followed by any disaster. Hence, we aimed to determine the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder and its associated factors among the flood survivors.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the flood survivors who resided on the banks of river Kaveri and river Harangi in Somwarpet Taluk of Kodagu district, Karnataka, India. A semi structured questionnaire was administered by interview method to capture the data from 331 participants who were sheltered at the relief camps during the flood in the year 2019. Association of sociodemographic variables with PTSD was analyzed using the Chi-square test and Logistic regression.Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 42.94 (±14.10) years and 141 (42.6%) were males. The prevalence of high severity symptoms of PTSD was 28.4%. Poor social support was perceived by 87.3% of the participants. Age, Loss of official documents, owning agricultural land and distance to river from the house were significantly associated with PTSD.Conclusions: PTSD after the disaster was 28% in the population and the majority perceived poor social support. Post flood, employment of support programs and mindfulness programs are the needs of the hour.

“…Several psychological studies note a strong correlation between the destruction and instances of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Aneelraj et al 2015; Srivastava et al 2015). The loss of land had the same effect (Srivastava et al 2015). The loss of their play space raised depression and PTSD among children.…”

Caste-based Lists and Fading Maps: Bureaucratic Anxiety and Shifting Landscapes in the Himalayan Uttarakhand after the 2013 Flash Floods

In 2013, floods in the state of Uttarakhand, particularly in its Himalayan district of Rudraprayag, led to landslides, rockfall and landslips. To calculate compensation and provide restitution at the village level, the state administration had to verify land ownership. However, since the most recent revenue settlement was conducted in 1967, the administration had to rely on faded maps and guesswork, and they used caste-based procedures and lists. The process created bureaucratic anxiety, fuelled by an affective excess to the given paradigm of bureaucratic embodiment and procedure (described by Nayanika Mathur as the ‘Sarkari affect’). By bureaucratic anxiety here I am using a modified Lacanian formulation implying the absence of a knowledge of the other’s desire, in this case, the desire of the state. Post-disaster governance in Kedarnath creates the sense of an invisibility of the state order, which becomes opaque and difficult to gauge. Using graphic artefacts I show how gaps in the administrative framework created an interpretive space between state and citizen, how this space was mortified by the manner in which the compensation process was carried out and how such mortification affected the community’s potential to use bureaucratic gaps to create a network of subjectivity that is actively involved in its own world-making.
