Landslides pose significant risks to residents and infrastructure in vulnerable regions such as Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir. The flash flood in Kheer Gad and the landslide on the Vaishno Devi Yatra Route highlight the potential for severe disruptions, including loss of life, property damage, and travel interruptions. The GSI's resources aim to mitigate these risks by providing timely data and tools for hazard assessment.
