Abstract: | Disasters are sudden and mostly unanticipated events and occur in varied forms. Some occur annually such as floods, heat and cold waves etc., whereas some are seasonal such as hailstorms, thunderstorms, cyclones, etc. In India the maximum loss of human lives occurs due to floods and heavy rains. It takes on an average 1500 human lives per year which is 64% of the total loss of life in a year due to various natural disasters. In this study an attempt has been made to delineate the disaster prone areas in accordance with various meteorological parameters and their associated synoptic features. The study will in turn help the local authorities to take necessary action regarding disaster mitigation plan and help people to cope with natural disasters. |
