Floods have a significant impact on the economy of Assam, as the state is prone to flooding every year. Here are some of the ways floods impact the economy of Assam:

• Damage to infrastructure: Floods can damage roads, bridges, railway tracks, and other infrastructure, which can disrupt transportation and trade.
• Loss of crops: Floods can destroy crops, leading to a loss of income for farmers and food shortages.
• Displacement of people: Floods can force people to evacuate their homes, leading to lost income and increased expenses for shelter and food.
• Impact on tourism: Floods can discourage tourists from visiting Assam, leading to a loss of revenue for the tourism industry.

To manage the impact of floods in Assam, the Centre takes several measures before the monsoon season, such as:

• Improving warning systems: The Centre works to improve flood warning systems to help people evacuate before a flood.
• Mitigating flood risks: The Centre invests in measures to mitigate flood risks, such as building flood shelters and embankments.
• Providing relief assistance: The Centre provides relief assistance to people affected by floods, such as food, shelter, and medical aid.
• Supporting infrastructure repairs: The Centre provides support for repairs to damaged infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, to restore transportation.

Overall, while floods have a significant impact on the economy of Assam, the Centre works to manage the impact through preparedness measures and relief assistance.
