On Tuesday 10 November 2026, an Eeco car carrying eight people, most of one family, burst a tyre near Aliyabada patiya, hit the bridge parapet and overturned. Two women died at the scene and six people, including children, were taken to the G.G. Hospital in Jamnagar. Police are looking into why the tyre burst and the cause is not established. We cover it in a case study.
In the days up to 13 September 2021, rain flooded rural parts of the district and the city. Alia-Bada and Moti Banugar villages were submerged, and NDRF, SDRF, Navy and fire brigade teams worked alongside Air Force helicopters, which airlifted 64 people from eight villages. In all, 3,966 people were moved to safer places in the district.
In June 2023, Cyclone Biparjoy was forecast to hit the Saurashtra and Kutch coast, and Jamnagar was named among the districts expected to be most affected. About 1.08 lakh people were moved to shelters across Gujarat between 12 and 14 June, and no deaths were reported at that stage. Coastal villages should expect evacuation orders ahead of a cyclone.
The district disaster management page, last updated in 2018, says the district Emergency Operation Centre was designed using Seismic Zone V as the base. Zone V is the highest earthquake risk zone on the national map, so older and badly built houses, shops and hospitals need attention to their structure and exits.
