The geo-climatic setting of the Odisha coast is prone to natural calamities like cyclones, storm surges, inundation, along with changing sea level, which indicates a higher level of coastal vulnerability. Climate-induced natural hazards are frequent on the Odisha coast, which leads to adverse impacts on life and property and intensive crop damage. The frequent natural hazards and sea-level rise (SLR) are accelerating the probable impact from severe storm surges and high waves in the future. The futuristic projection of the cyclone, storm surge, inundation and SLR has been estimated. Also, their probable impact on the coastal community has been portrayed.
