India is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world due to its diverse physiographic features, climatic variations, long coastline, and high population density. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, droughts, landslides, avalanches, tsunamis, and forest fires frequently affect different regions of the country. Rapid urbanization, environmental degradation, climate change, and socio-economic inequalities further increase the country's vulnerability to disasters. The major disaster-prone areas in India can be categorized according to the type of hazard. Earthquake-prone areas cover nearly 59% of India's landmass. The Bureau of Indian Standards has divided the country into four seismic zones—Zone II, III, IV, and V, with Zone V being the most severe.
