Flood and erosion are the biggest problems in Motkhohra. Villagers create temporary shelters at safe place as a preparedness strategy against the recurring flood disaster. Each year, the villagers through community discussion identify safe places and prepare temporary shelters accordingly. The government has made some elevated areas by filling the soil for emergency settlement.

Flood in the village starts in June and stays up until September month that erodes arable land, destroys paddy crops, and also increases the amount of iron in the drinking water which increases the problem of disease. The villagers get indication and information from the nearby villages and prepare to relocate to the safer places. The tents made of plastic sheets and the bamboo prepared at the elevated area serve as the temporary shelters for both human and the castles. They transfer the livestock along with firewood and food prior to the flood. Flood water enters the local people’s houses which creates problem in the cooking of the foods inside the homes, so peoples have to travel by boat to the elevated places for survival.
