On 5 April 2024 a fire broke out in the medicine ward of the Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, and the hospital staff moved all the patients out safely. The fire department brought it under control, and the hospital said a short circuit in the electrical fittings may have caused it.
The district disaster management plan of 2024 lists regular and growing fire hazards among the common disasters of the district, along with LPG cylinder explosions that cause injuries, deaths and loss of property. Kitchens in crowded homes and shops are where the plan's warning applies.
The plan says the vulnerability atlas puts Faridkot district in the high damage risk zone for wind. Storms and squalls can bring down roofs, hoardings and poles.
The same plan places the district in the moderate damage risk zone for earthquakes. Old and weak buildings in the crowded parts of town need checking.
The plan says the district lies in a flood prone area on the flood hazard map, yet no major river flows through it and it has not seen major floods. It still sets up flood control rooms at the district and tehsil level for heavy rain in low localities.
