Environmental degradation, which is often a result of economic development associated with human settlement pattern, which ignore appropriate resource management, increases the vulnerability of these countries to the disasters and exacerbates their impact. The losses due to the earthquakes reduce the pace of sustained economic development and often lead to a heavy drain on available resources diverting them from pursuing developmental aims. While earthquakes cannot be prevented, measures need to be taken to reduce the extent of damages, specially in a vast country like India with a huge population base and scarce facilities. Proper urban planning strategies should be utilized to regulate urban development as per the extent of damages anticipated. The article is a brief account of a study being done on the city of Hoshangabad, in Madhya Pradesh, an earthquake prone city of India. The Objective of the study is to develop earthquake damage scenario by utilizing building and infrastructure inventories, topographical information, Demographical Data and other relevant facts and figures to suggest suitable urban planning strategies to minimise the risk of damages being faced by the town being an Earthquake prone town.
