Vulnerability profile
The preparation of the Karnataka State Disaster Risk Reduction (KSDRR) Road Map 2025-30 entailed drawing up a vulnerability profile as per which 80% of the State’s geographical area is prone to drought, 22% is prone to moderate earthquake and 24% of the geographical area in the State was prone to cyclone, heavy winds etc. Human-induced disasters like road and industrial accidents too are considered for risk assessment and disaster mitigation.
