Social Vulnerability
• 90 percent affected by Disasters are Poor, Marginalized & Small
Farmers
• Pockets of Poverty are Semi-arid/Arid regions, Flood Plains,
Mountainous regions of NE, Himalayan, etc
• Disasters further breed disparity and social imbalances
Economic Impact
• 4.5 to 10% Loss to National GDP
• Some States (Assam, Bihar, AP, …)
- Loss to the extent of 10-20% of State’s GDP
• Drought of 2001-02
- Led to 15% Reduction in Food Production & significant
drop in GDP (210 Mt to 180 Mt)
