Abstract: The findings of the present study are being documented with an aim for invoking a paradigm shift in the attitudes and perceptions about natural hazards; this shift should make the state and the people more prepared to face such calamities, and consequently minimize the loss of life and property, as well as environmental degradation, and hence directly affect the state?s growth prospects. More concretely, this study attempts to analyse natural hazards in Bihar and to prepare schematic hazard zonation maps using remote sensing and GIS techniques. [IGC Working Paper 2013].
