Following measures and provision of essential facilities/relief have been taken by State to mitigate losses to public and property due to the floods:

CWC maintains 4 level forecasting stations on Rapti river, namely, Balrampur (Balrampur District), Bansi (Sidharthnagar District), Birdghat (Gorakhpur District) and Kakradhari (Shravasti district).
Two flood management projects on river Rapti benefitting Siddharthnagar, Sant Kabir Nagar, Gorakhpur & Deoria districts of Uttar Pradesh have been implemented under Flood Management and Border Areas Programme (FMBAP), a centrally sponsored Scheme of Govt. of India. Central assistance of Rs. 66.65 Crore has been released to Govt. of Uttar Pradesh under FMBAP.
Flood management and anti-erosion schemes are formulated and implemented by concerned State Governments as per their priority. Government of Uttar Pradesh has no plan to raise the existing embankments and to construct new embankments on both banks of the Rapti river in the flood affected areas of Shravasti, Balrampur, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, Sant Kabir Nagar and Deoria Districts.
