==Geography==
Gorakhpur is one of the most flood-prone districts in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Data over the past 100 years show a considerable increase in the intensity and frequency of floods, with extreme events occurring every three to four years. Roughly 20% of the population is affected by floods, which are an annual occurrence in some areas, causing huge loss of life, health and livelihoods for the poor inhabitants, as well as damage to public and private property.〔(Integrating climate change concerns into disaster management planning: The case of Gorakhpur, India ) by Shiraz A. Wajih and Shashikant Chopde, the Climate and Environment Knowledge Network, 2014〕
Research from the Climate and Development Knowledge shows that measures are in place to mitigate disaster risk in the form of the Gorakhpur District Disaster Management Plan. However, this plan focuses on how agencies can coordinate following floods and lacks a systematic approach to identifying weather-related hazards and vulnerability.〔(Integrating climate change concerns into disaster management planning: The case of Gorakhpur, India )〕
