The LR represents the number of literate persons in an area. It helps residents to understand the nature of the hazard, its severity, and their response to information issued by disaster management authorities after an event struck. Therefore, areas with a high percentage of literates can be treated as a region with higher copping ability. These regions are assigned the lowest rating, whereas villages with the lowest LR are assigned a higher rating. The villages having LR >45% in the study area are Churchu, Patratu, Saunda, Sirka, Dari, Koto, Urimari, etc. (Figure 2.5d). Whereas, villages having lowest LR are Tokisud, Aswa, Potanga, Bicha, Chito, Jumara, Kori, etc. (Figure 2.5d).
