Human, Financial, Physical, and Smart-city factors and their corresponding indicators were chosen through
Natural disasters literature review and some modified based on local conditions. A total of 22 vulnerability and 40 capacity in
dicators were used to calculate the vulnerability and capacity index. The result indicates that overall capacity
overweighs the overall vulnerability in the central part of the city during the Fani cyclone. Specifically, the city
was more vulnerable based on Financial factors, whereas more capable and smartly prepared for the cyclone in
the context of Social & Human factors, Physical factors, and Smart-city factors. The study indicates the mitigating
impact of the smart-city project in the central Bhubaneswar city area and applauds the step taken by the gov
ernment for preparation during such an extreme event. The realizations of these results will help the government
to further improve its disaster management plan with important infrastructural modification highlighted in this
study.
