The occurrence of floods in tropical regions during the monsoon period is a very common phenomenon. The study area, Pursurah community development Block of Hooghly district, located in the interfluve region of Damodar and Mundeswari, suffers from floods every year, mainly due to the overflowing of the Damodar and its tributaries. Excessive and sudden water release by D.V.C. from the upper catchment dam of the Damodar instigated the situation and turned it into a more vibrant flooding event, along with various other demographic agents. The most anticipated aftermath of the flood found out here are major economic losses and property damages. The study is embedded in investigating the flood risk tendency of this area in terms of hazard assessment and four vulnerable components, namely, population density, child population (0–6 years), sex ratio, and cultivators and agricultural laborers. The recent progress in flood management systems is also highlighted in brief for a better understanding of future flood prospects in the Pursurah Block region.
