Water flows smoothly inside natural banks. Normal farming, ferry transit, and daily routines can proceed safely.

River fills to bank-full capacity. Low bathing ghats, riverside sandbanks, and depression areas may get inundated. Keep cattle ready and prepare essentials.

Water spills over natural riverbanks into villages, roads, and farmlands. Low-lying habitations may flood. Move to safe high shelters immediately if told by authorities.

The highest watermark ever recorded in the history of that river. Rare and catastrophic event with maximum emergency deployment.

• Prepare an emergency go-bag with torch, dry batteries, waterproof matchbox, and essential medicines.
• Keep identity cards, ration cards, property deeds, and cash wrapped safely inside sealed plastic bags.
• Store 3-4 days of clean drinking water in sealed containers and keep dry food items (chana, gur, sattu, biscuits).
• Untie and shift livestock/cattle to designated high-elevation bunds or community shelters.

• Do not ignore official announcements on loudspeakers, radio, or community alerts.
• Do not build temporary shelters right inside the active floodplain or on unauthorized river sand.
