The district's own disaster management page says Guntur is one of the nine coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh and has been badly affected by major natural disasters, and it gives a cyclone followed by floods as an example of how hazards combine. Heavy rain and a river in spate both matter here.
In August 2019, about 8 lakh cusecs of water was released from the Prakasam barrage and low-lying areas along the river were submerged, with people shifted to relief centres and rescue teams sent to 11 mandals. Towns in the delta below the barrage watch such releases closely.
In January 2024, a fire in a seven-storey cold storage at Duggirala in Guntur district burnt through stored turmeric roots, with nearly one lakh bags inside. Wooden structures and the ammonia used for cooling fed the flames, nearby residents were moved out as a precaution, and seven people suffered minor burns.
In October 2016, a fire that began on the fifth floor of a five-storey cold storage at Etukuru, Guntur, gutted that floor of a plant said to hold around 40,000 bags of chillies worth about Rs 20 crore. Six fire engines were used, and a short circuit was believed to be the cause.
