India has been facing natural disasters like drought, flood, cyclones, storm surges, and earthquakes every year in different parts of the country. These disasters cause large-scale damages, destructions, death, injuries to humans and animals. The non-engineered houses constructed by the people are mostly damaged due to a lack of technical guidance and affordability.
