The frequency and intensity of hydro-meteorological disasters (HMD) in Uttarakhand have grown during the previous 15 years. These catastrophic disasters have taken a significant toll on the human population, resources, and state infrastructure in terms of the economy and society. As a result of climatic, geological, and human population increases, the number of fatalities and property damage caused by hazards in Uttarakhand has increased. Unscientific and need-based development activities are disrupting the natural ecosystem and increasing the vulnerability of the environment to natural disasters. To better understand the HMD trend, all districts in Uttarakhand were divided into three zones based on Himalayan altitude, and a bar chart was created to show the relationship between HMD event, location zone, and time of HMD event over a 10-year period. After you've figured out the HMD trend, you'll want to figure out which districts in Uttarakhand are the most seriously affected. In this paper, we also conducted a comprehensive analysis and study of the causes, time factor, and Disaster Risk Reduction measures for HMD and concluded that, due to their nature, these disasters are difficult to predict and control, but we can only reduce the impact of HMD by strongly implementing Pre-disaster mitigation measures such as proper planning, public awareness, training, knowledge of mitigation measures, structural and nonstructural measures, and monitoring the hive.
