The Kashmir 2014 flood was one of the most devastating natural disasters in the region’s history. Triggered by unprecedented and intense rainfall in early September, it caused widespread flooding in the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, as well as parts of Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Rivers, including the Jhelum, swelled beyond their capacity, inundating large areas and submerging cities like Srinagar.

The disaster displaced millions, claimed hundreds of lives, and caused extensive damage to infrastructure, homes, and livelihoods. Roads, bridges, and communication networks were destroyed, leaving many stranded and in urgent need of rescue and relief. The flood highlighted significant challenges in disaster preparedness and management in the region.
