The risks are significant for residents and infrastructure in Uttarakhand, particularly in districts like Rudraprayag, Tehri Garhwal, Chamoli, and Uttarkashi, which are highly exposed to landslides and flash floods. The Char Dham pilgrimage routes are especially vulnerable due to their location in narrow valleys and active landslide zones. Saturated slopes from prolonged rainfall can fail with little warning, endangering lives and property. The 2013 Kedarnath disaster remains a stark reminder of the catastrophic potential of such events.
