Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan in general and district Gilgit in specific vulnerable for climate induce hydro-metrological hazards and their secondary impacts.The community based hazard vulnerability risk assessment is an attempt to provide overview key and high frequent climate change induce hydro-metrological hazards,vulnerability assessment in terms of critical facilities assessment,livelihood assessment,ecological resources ssessment,motivational /behavioral assessment,organizational assessment,capacity assessment,risk analysis and mitigation measures to combat hazards impacts in the study area.The key hazards includes floods (flash floods),prolong droughts,heavy rainfalls/ snowfalls,clouds bursts,avalanches,landslides,river bank erosion and epidemics.Prioritization or ranking wise floods are more frequent in the study area According to the hazard map and community perceptive,the total settlement area of the district is 136.436 Sq.Km out of which 15.67354 Sq.Km is considered to high vulnerable for floods.Critical facilities,livelihoods option,ecological resources,motivationally and organizationally the area is high vulnerable for extreme climatic events.The community of the area is capacity wise week because they have less knowledge about adaptation,lack of resources,technologically and organizational wise under developed to respond such large level hydro-metrological disasters.But our study provides some mitigation measures for the study area to minimize hazards impacts.
