Some Sri Lankans are questioning why their government wasn't better prepared for the country’s worst climate disaster in two decades. Cyclone Ditwah caused floods and landslides last week that killed more than 480 people. Nearly 200 thousand Sri Lankans have been displaced. And rescue and recovery efforts are still underway.
