The primary objective of the study is to analyze the impact assessment of hailstorms on vegetation in the Moran region of Assam. The experiments employed sentinel-2A data of December, 2022 and January, 2023 for the computation of the NDVI, GNDVI, and MSAVI indices and their temporal dynamics. Further, LandScan gridded (1 k × 1 km) population data of 2021 have been used to portray the population affected in the study area. The result evidenced a significant decline in the mean NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), GNDVI (Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), and MSAVI (Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) from the pre-hailstorm to the post-hailstorm period. The above indices declined from 0.270, 0279 and 0.416 in pre-hailstorm (24 December, 2022) period to 0.257, 0.269 and 0.410 in post-hailstorm period (3 January, 2023). Similarly, the area under healthy vegetation decreased from 72.06 and 103.55 sq km in 2022 to 60.74 and 96.35 sq km in 2023, based on GNDVI and MSAVI, respectively. The hailstorm affected the majority of villages as well as the population lying to the east of the NH-37, i.e., the Charaideo district of Assam. The Villages such Bagtali Sonowal, Demorukinar Changmai, Hatkhola gaon and Mout gaon experienced maximum damage to vegetation. Overall, 125.355 and 132.07 sq km of area considering both assessments (MSAVI & GNDVI with population) with a total population of about 131,342 are severely affected by hailstorm phenomena.
