Hi Ashwin and others,
It seems many Odia Wikimedians have documented the super cyclone. We have discussed on our Whatsapp groups for uploading these images to Commons, but the city of Puri and Bhubaneswar are out of power and Internet connectivity from last 80 hours (and may continue further). So it will take some time for us to do that.
We are also in touch with the Chief Minister's Office to get government content under the free license, they have assured us that after the restoration work, they will focus on it.
Thanks Sailesh
PS: Cyclone Fani has devastated the state, If possible, please spread the word about donating to Chief Minister relief fund. cmrfodisha.gov.in

I really don’t know Ashwin. I just reached out to the official handle and I was lucky as the message is out. And as you and Tito mentioned earlier, we need more contribution from our community. There are many who could contribute but probably don’t know how.

Thanks Subashish.
Who runs that handle, Subashish, they are very unresponsive to my messages on Twitter in the past.

Thanks to WMF who just posted a tweet (https://twitter.com/wikipedia/status/1124860016786153472?s=21) encouraging Wikimedians to contribute after we requested from Odia Wikipedia. I think we need to encourage more on social media by clearly sharing how others can contribute pictures/videos and improve articles related to Fani in their own languages.

- High wind and cyclone effect: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Effect_of_Heavy_wind_during_Fani_Cyc... (uploaded by Sangram)
Both videos waiting for review. I will wait for sometime before more upload, once the review is done, or some important content is found that helps the project, and are under CC license, we can work on those.
Thanks Tito Dutta Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind me over email or phone call.

Thank you, Tito for a good beginning.
Everybody is requested to please do help in preparing a representative set of all facets pertaining to this issue. It will support our national endeavour to save lives by making things more prominent.
Cyclone shelters should be just as important as Mohalla clinics in the minds of our people.

In addition to that at least some of the Odisha government content should be under CC license, let's see if Sailesh or someone of us can help to find something.
