National Disaster Risk Index

National Disaster Risk Index mapping hazards and vulnerabilities across 640 districts puts Maharashtra at the top of the chart followed by West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, while Delhi is most at risk among Union territories (UTs).

This national disaster risk index is also in line with India’s commitment to the Sendai Framework, successor to the Hyogo Framework, where it has to substantially bring down
disaster losses in terms of lives and properties. The government
is simultaneously working on a disaster database which
will capture nationwide losses due to disasters on a digital platform.
