Special attention is given to vulnerable coastal and hilly areas during periods of heavy rainfall and extreme weather conditions.Regular mock drills, community awareness programmes, emergency response training, and continuous monitoring of weather and river conditions help strengthen disaster resilience across the district. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed through official advisories, maintain essential emergency supplies, avoid risk-prone areas during severe weather, and follow safety instructions issued by the authorities.
