Key Details:

AspectDetails
Reason for RiskProlonged dry spell and significant rainfall deficit
Rainfall Deficit (Jan 1–22)81% deficit; only 11.4 mm received compared to normal 60.5 mm
Geographical ContextForest cover: 20,230 sq km (10% of J&K’s area; excluding Ladakh: 47%)
Forest CompositionDry temperate forests with species like Deodar, Kail, and Fir
Emergency ContactDial 112 in case of emergencies

Key Concerns:

  • The lack of rainfall has heightened the risk of forest fires in both the Jammu and Kashmir regions.
  • While the forests in the Kashmir region are typically less vulnerable due to their evergreen nature and lush ground cover, the prolonged dry spell makes even these areas susceptible to fires.

Actionable Advice:

  • Residents and visitors in the region are advised to exercise extreme caution.
  • Avoid any activity that could ignite fires, such as open flames or improper disposal of cigarette butts.
  • Report any signs of forest fire immediately by dialing 112.

The NDMA urges preparedness and vigilance until the dry spell ends.
