This project was supported by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India.

The project focused on improving public understanding of earthquake hazards, preparedness and mitigation in Northeast India. As part of the project, EWMI conducted 18 awareness camps across 9 districts, involving students, teachers and local communities.

The programme emphasized earthquake education, public awareness, preparedness measures and community participation to reduce earthquake-related risks.

EWMI is also interested in research on flood severity, spatial and temporal patterns of flooding, disaster impacts, vulnerability and community resilience.

The Institute encourages interdisciplinary approaches involving social science, environmental science, geography and disaster management to understand natural hazards and develop practical strategies for risk reduction and resilience.
