The document summarizes the 2013 floods in Uttarakhand, India. Over 1,000 people died and 16 lakh (1.6 million) were affected when rainfall exceeded normal levels by 37%, causing extensive flooding and landslides. While the state received relief funds, its infrastructure is not resilient enough to handle similar disasters due to financial and resource constraints. Public-private partnerships are recommended to develop disaster-proof infrastructure, and relocating people to less vulnerable areas is also suggested.
