The plan says the Anandapur sub-division, including Ghasipura and Hatadihi, floods when the Baitarani rises, and about 200 km of the district is prone to flood and river erosion. Its table lists 7 floods since 2010.
The plan says 60 to 70 people die of lightning in the district each year, about 27 percent of all disaster deaths. Open fields, mine edges and village ponds are the worst places in a storm.
The Joda and Barbil belt has one of the richest mineral reserves, with huge deposits of iron ore and manganese, along with mines and plants. The plan marks the district as vulnerable to chemical emergencies as well.
For 2022 alone the plan lists 119 drowning cases and 69 snake bites. Most drowning cases are reported from the Anandapur sub-division, where people depend on rivers and other water bodies for irrigation and daily bathing.
