Abstract
Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are the most significant weather phenomena in North Indian Ocean (NIO), where these affect Indian sub-continent in general and India in particular. The inherent vulnerability features of TC in the basin lie with a long coastline of about 7516 km of flat coastal terrain, shallow continental shelf, geographical location and physiological features (Prasad and Rao 2006). Besides these, some other factors which influence vulnerability are limitations of observation networks, prediction systems, understanding of physical processes, early warning systems and disaster management, apart from socioeconomic conditions according to World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) (2013).
