History of disasters in Sindhudurg
The disaster history of this district has been analyzed disaster wise herein below.
1. Earthquake
There is no history of earthquakes in this district earlier. There was no loss in Kankvali, Sawantawadi, Malwan and Vengurla due to the Killari earthquake of 1993.

The proximity of the Western Ghat Fault Scarp and evidences of neotectonic activities in the Konkan area point to earth movements in the recent past and the possibility of an earthquake can’t be ruled out.
