Hazards covered by anticipation

A vast country, India faces many types of hazards. It has very high exposure to different types of flooding (coastal, flash, riverine), as well as tropical cyclones. Drought affects some regions, while heat waves are a growing threat, particularly in urban areas.

Several non-governmental organizations have begun to develop frameworks to anticipate forecastable hazards in India.
