The death toll from the cyclone has risen to almost 4,000, a Myanmar state radio station has said. The radio station broadcasting from the country's capital Naypyitaw said Monday that almost 3,000 more people are unaccounted for in a single town in the country's low-lying Irrawaddy River delta area.

The littel coastal country called Myanmar was also hit with sea level rise when the cyclone landed. This is a completelly flooded area and the body count, no different than the tsunami, will never be completely realized because bodies have been washed out to sea.
This is a biologically sensitive area where species are being demised due to a turbulent troposhere as I write this. There needs to be a full dispatch of scientists to assess the damage and discover the economic impact from the biotic loss of the region.
There are tree species in Myanmar that are used on the global cosmetics market. There is huge economic losses due to this cyclone.
Conservationists need to start immediately to restore the biotic content of the devastated area, otherwise, there will be vast impoverishment of the people surviving this tragedy.
