Tinsukia district is situated in the riverine region and having a proximity to Dihing-Patkai Range. This district has a high amount of rainfall primarily because of the clouds of the monsoon. This leads to very high rainfall in the whole district. Such a heavy rainfall causes largely flash floods, and occasionally erosion etc.  

The district is very vulnerable to natural disaster mainly exposed to Erosion and floods, and secondly earthquake is also a probable threat. Here it may be mentioned that the district experienced a terrible earthquake in 1897, due to which the town has at once submerged in water. Experience from earlier disaster, we have to prepare a disaster management plan to make Tinsukia a disaster resilient district
