The 2019 district disaster plan says snakebite and lightning together caused 66.29 percent of all disaster deaths in the district and calls them the two prominent disasters. Lightning is on the state's list of notified disasters, and the plan asks for special focus on it.
The 2023-24 plan lists 1,033 fire incidents in the district between 2008 and 2022, with 1,271 houses damaged. Fire is by far the most frequently recorded of the nationally declared disasters in that table.
The Brahmani, Sapua and Ramiala are the main rivers, and at the Rajghat gauge the Brahmani has a warning level of 9.45 metres and a danger level of 10.36 metres. The plan records three floods in the district between 2008 and 2022.
About 80 percent of the district lies in seismic zone III, the moderate damage risk zone, and the rest in zone II. The plan expects only mild to moderate tremors, but weak walls and unfixed heavy furniture are still the practical worry.
The plan records three cyclones between 2008 and 2022, which caused 3 deaths and affected about 7,844 people. Heavy wind and rain reach this inland district too, with fallen trees and wires the common danger.
