Natural hazards have caused a great deal of trouble for mankind throughout history, and their effect on national economies has also been noted. Landslides, cloudbursts, earthquakes, and floods are all common natural hazards in the Himalayan region. Floods have proven to be the most destructive of them all. Floods have had a major effect on the socio-economic lives of those who live near river basins or low-lying areas. The study aims to see how floods affect people's socio-economic lives in sampled villages in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district. The study is based on categorical (qualitative) and computable (quantitative) data which is collected from 3 sampled villages ( Raini, Tapovan, Payya Chormi). The qualitative data is collected through in-depth interviews with local people during the post-flood period, and the quantitative data is collected through random sampling of the population in selected villages. Following data collection, MS Excel was used to analyze the data, and Arc-GIS was used to create the study map. The study's findings show that the recent flash flood in Chamoli district harmed the villages' social and economic conditions. 46% of people say floods are quite frequent in the sampled villages which in turn impacts their employment. 54% of people in the sampled village suffered from unemployment. It is also evident from the results that floods have caused infrastructure damage (84%) which in turn had impacted the children's education as well. To deal with such issues we should promote group engagement in disaster coping strategies by increasing individual participation through seminars about coping methods and also provision of emergency food, water, drugs, and shelter for those affected.
