These risks will be minimized by implementing mitigation measures as suggested in the EMP for the construction activities; During operation phase, potential risks will be mainly related to maintenance activities by working at height and movement of traffic. These risks will be minimized by implementing mitigation measures as suggested in the EMP. 8.3 Could the project be affected by natural disasters causing environmental damage (e.g. floods, earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst etc)? The project area is located in Seismic Zone II a Low Damage Risk Zone and having probability of earthquake with intensity MSK VI or less as per earthquake hazard map prepared by Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council of Government of India (BMTPC). The building design will be in accordance with IS 1893: 2002 (Part 1) and IS 13920: 25

27 1993 to counter potential hazards due to earthquake; The project area is located in Very High Damage Risk Zone- B (Vb=50m/s) as per wind and cyclone hazard map prepared by BMTPC. The probability of flood falls in the probable maximum surge height reaching 5.5 m for the project region. The hazards of floods will be mitigated by maintaining adequate slopes and drainages. 9.
