“…India has a7516 km long coastline which is surrounded by Arabian Sea on its left and Bay of Bengal to its right. Studies show that India is exposed to about 10% of the world's cyclones where majority of them originate from Bay of Bengal followed by Arabian Sea in a ratio of 4:1 [ 21 , 58 ]. States along coastline i.e., Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal along with Andaman, Nikobar and Lakshwadeep Islands are frequently affected by cyclones [ 21 ].…”

“…The countries with high population density, rapid urbanization need comprehensive disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies to safeguard lives and resources. The countries which have a low economy and lack of basic services are at higher risk [16,17]. Landslides are frequent in the hilly region and floods are frequently seen in the Terai region.…”

Nepal is highly vulnerable to disasters due to its geographical structure, significant temperature variability over short distances, and changing climate. This paper aims to evaluate historical trends and predict future disaster-related losses. The moving average method is used in this study for analysis. The study focuses on data and analysis of two frequently occurring disasters in Nepal. A straight regression line is applied to the number of incidents and various variables (total deaths, missing people, affected families, and injured people) to predict future losses. Since 1971, the number of incidents involving these two disasters, landslide and flood, has been rapidly increasing. A 5-year moving average is employed to analyze the data, revealing a sharp increase in all variables studied. The rapid rise in disaster incidents and associated losses could pose significant challenges for the country. To enhance public safety, information programs should be implemented, and areas should be ranked by their level of danger to mitigate losses.

A study was conducted to compare the potential of natural farming versus conventional chemical farming to withstand adverse climate effects. The study investigated two cyclones, namely cyclone Pethai and cyclone Titli of 2018, which caused significant damage to Andhra Pradesh's coastal corridor. In addition, the impact of heavy rainfall in 2021 on two different farming systems was studied. The worst-affected Paddy crop regions where these cyclones caused severe damage were surveyed. Multiple linear regression was utilized to investigate predictors including crop damage, wind damage, submergence, and yield loss in these two agricultural systems during these two cyclonic and heavy rainfall events. The study indicated that natural farming practices were more resilient to climate variability than conventional chemical farming techniques. The study showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between these two farming systems in terms of damage caused due to climate variabilities.
