The Storm surge is one of the major calamities for the coastal regions all over the world. The effect of a storm surge is more intensified by the ignorance of the local people in the region due to their improper land use pattern followed by them. This is because of not knowing clearly about the coming storm, its intensity, or at least the zones that would be affected during a storm. The aim of the project is to delineate the zones for various surge levels and deriving the Qualitative risk map from land use map. During storm precipitation is also another major problem for not only in the path of the storm but also to the surrounding area. So by making an overlay analysis of the precipitation and the already derived risk map. To study the above problems, Remote Sensing and GIS is used to effectively to analyse the problems. The study area is the coastal region of Cuddalore and Puducherry, which is present in the northern part of the Coramandal Coast. Analysing the land use change from 1980 to 2009 has enabled us to watch the changes those are more risky during a surge and such changes are identified and delineated.
