Drought, floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and accidents are all common in Maharashtra. While the state's low rainfall areas are constantly threatened by droughts, the state's high rainfall zones in eastern and western Maharashtra are vulnerable to flash floods and landslides.

Examples include floods, storms, tsunamis, and earthquakes. The planet has been subjected to a number of natural disasters during the course of its 4.54 billion-year existence. Some of these occurrences have resulted in mass extinctions and catastrophic ramifications for diverse surviving species.

Landslides break windows, cause financial hardship, and cause bodily pain or disease. Because of a lack of resources, security, and access to home, significant population emigration may occur in considerably fewer countries. According to the International Centre of Earthquake Engineering, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 on the Richter scale occurred, as reported by state broadcaster ANI. According to the National Centre for Seismology, that magnitude earthquake occurred at a depth of 20 kilometres (NCS).
