Flood Hazard Atlas will help people know the level of water flow through early warning system. The concerned authority will get alert and places of evacuation and relief camps will be identified. Also, people of a particular area will be alerted based on rain and waterfall. Lakhs of people are rendered homeless in Assam due to flood almost every year. All flood prone areas have been divided into 3 categories and accordingly district administrations will prepare action plan on relief and evacuation in advance.
