Km. and consists total population of 3,28,365. The district started it’s administrative journey since last 21ST January 2012, after bifurcation from the erstwhile undivided North Tripura district. It is surrounded by two other districts of Tripura, namely, the present North Tripura district at the Eastern side and the Dhalai district at the South- western side, while it has a long international border with Bangladesh at it’s North- Western side. In fact it is a valley sandwiched between two hill ranges, namely the Longtarai at the West and the Unakoti hills at the East. Manu and Deo, these two are the main rivers, both flowing South to North, are the two main rivers nourishing the district. The district is comprised of 02 (two) Sub-Divisions, namely, Kailasahar and Kumarghat, 04 (four) Blocks, namely, Gournagar, Chandipur, Kumarghat and Pecharthal and 02 (two) ULBs, namely, Kailasahar and Kumarghat Municipal Councils. The district HQ is at Kailasahar, which happens to be one of the oldest district town of the state, earlier being the HQ of the then undivided North Tripura district and now the HQ of Unakoti district, has very rich educational and cultural heritage. Topographically Kailasahar is almost like a basin, the main town area being the sink of the basin, while the surrounding peripheries are like elevated edges. Even the Manu river is like a raised drain, the river bed being almost at equal altitude with that of the township area. Therefore, the whole Kailasahar town had to be protected by constructing 16 numbers of earthen embankments of total length more than 60 Kms surrounding it. The district is situated in highly vulnerable intense seismic region, i.e., in seismic zone – ‘V’. The hill range Unakoti is famous for having engraved pictures of gods and goddesses, created in ancient era, on stony hillocks, which is a popular place of tourist interest recognised by the ASI.

Disasters can be classified into natural disaster and man-made disaster. It can be classified as follows: NATURAL DISASTER MAN-MADE DISASTER Cyclone/storm Fire Accidents Earthquake Road/Motor Accidents Flood Forest Fire Landslide Electrical Disaster Drought Food Poisoning Pest attacks Building collapse Diseases 1. Floods are recurrent annual phenomena and the Flood Management Plan should ideally be built to minimize losses of all types, primarily loss of human lives and secondarily, loss to property like livestock, crops, community assets, personal belongings etc. When disaster strikes, automatically, the District Administration has traditionally responded in all parts of the Country is an exemplary manner. However, if a good Disaster Management Plan is in place, every step taken in time of disaster will yield magnified resolution in the form of more effective rescue and relief operation. Our Plan should ensure that when a flood strikes there is standardized POA and rehearse procedure set in place so that precious time is not lost due to confusion regarding who is to do what. 2. Unakoti District is bestowed with a high average annual rainfall of 2700 mm (approximately) with average number of rainy days at 92 per year. Normally, rain arrives in late April and continuous up to October. However, the intensity of rainfall increases during the month of JUNE – September. Higher rainfall occurring during this period causes flood in low laying areas and erosion of land. The spatial distribution of rainfall under Unakoti District is as follows.
