The district disaster plan records devastating floods in 2018, in three phases, when the Doyang and Dhansiri flooded after excess water was released from the Doyang hydro project and a landslide dam formed on the Sidzu river. Since then the district holds yearly meetings with the dam authority and keeps a messaging group for early water-level alerts.
The plan lists the Numaligarh refinery and the ONGC installations and pipelines as industrial hazards, and records a fire in a hydrocracker unit of the refinery on 29 May 2023. Its risk zone for a major LPG plant incident is about 700 metres, though it may differ with the nature of the incident.
The plan calls fire a serious problem for houses and market places in Golaghat, mostly from LPG leaks and short circuits in poor wiring. LPG, petrol and diesel moving along National Highways 37 and 39 add to the risk.
The plan says the entire North East lies in seismic zone V, while noting that Golaghat has had no major damaging quake in recent times. Prepare anyway: secure heavy furniture and know your drop, cover and hold on routine.
The plan calls human and elephant conflict a yearly threat to life and property, seen in forest-fringe villages under the Morongi and Bokakhat revenue circles. If you live near the forest edge, keep lights on outside and never approach an elephant at night.
