Show Answer Hide Answer

This depends on your region — a model answer:

  • Hilly areas: landslides — afforestation, drainage, slope stabilisation, early-warning systems.
  • Plains/coasts: floods — embankments, drainage, flood forecasting, not building on floodplains.
  • Deserts: dust storms — shelter belts of trees, keeping the soil covered.
  • Everywhere: know the risks, keep an emergency kit, and follow NDMA guidelines.
