Local risks in Tawang

Landslides on steep slopes and the highway

The district administration's own hazard note says fast river currents and steep slopes keep washing soil away and weakening the hillsides. On 25 August 2025 a landslide buried about 120 metres of the Dirang to Tawang road near Sapper Camp in West Kameng district, two cars were damaged and nobody was hurt, and clearance teams had traffic moving again by the afternoon of 26 August.

Earthquakes in an active seismic zone

The district disaster page describes the region as an active seismic zone with a history of earthquake damage. Know where you will drop, cover and hold on at home and at your guest house, and keep stairways and exits clear.

Winter snow, ice and blocked roads

The district page notes that winter temperatures fall below freezing, and that snow and ice block roads and disrupt travel. A blocked road can leave a vehicle waiting for hours, so carry warm clothes, water and food on any long drive.

Frozen high altitude lakes

The same page warns that high altitude lakes become structural hazards when they freeze in winter. Stay off frozen lake ice and keep children and pets back from the edges.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101 and your ambulance number in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
Before a long drive to or from Tawang, check the road with the district control room or the highway helpline 1969, and carry warm clothes, water and food in case the road is blocked.
If you see stones falling or fresh cracks on a slope, stop well short of it, do not cross on foot, and wait for clearance teams. Reverse out of the danger zone only if it is safe to do so.

In an earthquake, drop, cover and hold on under a sturdy table, away from windows and heavy shelves, and leave only after the shaking has stopped.
In winter, keep heaters and stoves away from bedding and curtains, and never sleep in a closed room with a charcoal or wood fire burning.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
