Leh district experienced disaster in the form of cloud burst and flash flood and swelling of river due
to snow mealt during summer. The cloud burst and the flash flood disaster of 2010 has taken away
many lives and created huge damage to property as well. Leh is also vulnerable to Road blockade
due to land slides, Snow avalanche, earth quake and Drought. With reqard to earth quake, it is in
Zone IV of Damage Risk Zone as strike-slip fault is running along Zanskar and Ladkh ranges. As
the district is very remote, it adds further complication as help may take some time before it reaches
which was witnessed in the previous disaster. So there is need for a proper planning to deal with
such disasters to avoid loss of life and property and also to get back to normality at the earliest
possible.
