🎯 Problem Statement

The Crisis

The North Eastern Region (NER) of India comprises 8 states — Sikkim, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh — home to 45 million people. This region is geologically young, tectonically active, and receives some of the highest rainfall in the world (Cherrapunji receives 11,777mm annually).

Why Landslides Happen in NER

Landslides in NER are caused by a complex interplay of geological, meteorological, and anthropogenic factors:

🤖 AI/ML Model

Why Machine Learning for Landslide Prediction?

Traditional landslide susceptibility mapping relies on static geological maps and manual expert assessment. This approach:

• Cannot adapt to changing weather conditions
• Requires expensive field surveys
• Takes weeks to produce results
• Cannot provide real-time predictions

GeoShield's AI model solves these problems by:

• Processing real-time sensor data continuously
• Learning from 12,000 historical NER terrain samples
• Providing predictions in <30 seconds
• Adapting to seasonal monsoon patterns

Note: The "Moderate" class has only 4 samples in the full dataset (0.03%), so it is effectively absorbed into adjacent classes. The model excels at identifying Low risk (98.5% per-class accuracy) and detecting Critical events (73.3% recall) — the two most operationally important categories for an early warning system.

⚡ Landslide Simulator

For Live SIH Demo

The simulator allows presenters to trigger realistic landslide events and watch the entire system respond in real-time:

1. Select Station — Pick any of the 20 NER stations
2. Choose Intensity — Low / Moderate / High / Critical
3. Click Run — Watch the system respond:
   • Sensor readings spike (rainfall, moisture, displacement)
   • AI model runs assessment (new risk score)
   • Alert generated if risk >= moderate
   • Dashboard updates in real-time

🌊 Flood Risk Monitoring

Compound Hazard Analysis

GeoShield integrates flood-landslide correlation data for all 19 NER districts, sourced from the Asia Flood Atlas and IMD historical records. The system computes compound risk (0.4 × flood risk + 0.6 × landslide risk) to identify districts facing dual hazards.

District	Flood Risk	Events	Rivers
East Khasi Hills	85	42	Umiam, Wah Umkhrah
Kamrup	78	38	Brahmaputra, Kalu
Dimapur	70	28	Dhansiri, Dan
East Siang	68	24	Siang, Dibang
West Garo Hills	65	22	Simsang, Asanang

3 Flood API Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
GET /api/flood/data	District-level flood risk data
GET /api/flood/summary	Aggregated NER flood metrics
GET /api/flood/correlation	Flood × landslide compound risk scatter
	Flood × landslide compound risk scatter
