Instagram and Facebook are flooded with several posts extending support as the majority of individuals share important contact numbers and collection point locations volunteering the rescue missions online.
As rescue operations continue in Wayanad district due to a sudden landslide wreaked havoc in Meppadi, Mundakkai and Chooralmala, virtual activities are going forward extending hands to those who have been victims of the devastating calamity.
Since the news broke in the early hours of Tuesday, social media and local media in Kerala have been in full force, mobilising all possible help for those affected in Mundakkai and Chooralmala.
Social media handles—from the Chief Minister’s office to local governance body officials, voluntary organizations, and rescue groups—have been working tirelessly to inform the outside world about the gravity of the situation on the ground. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday praised the responsible journalism displayed by the Malayalam visual media, who reported from areas close to ground zero.
This post has been shared by many to calm the chaos and to acknowledge people that rescue missions are progressing in Wayand. Apart from that various collection points are opened to aid essential supplies for the landslide survivors.

Most of the local media are on the place to report incidents and have been a part of the essential food and clothes collections helping volunteers to identify the locations. Youth is vigilant and always a call away to aid the affected ones as they consistently update the leads and share their contact numbers to seek further help. Even if people are away they hold hands together in this mission and Kerala has witnessed this unity always, especially in the 2018 floods.
