Cyclones are usually accompanied by violent storms and severe weather conditions. Basically, tropical cyclone is a deep low-pressure area. If the speed of a cyclone is more than 34 nautical miles per hour then it becomes necessary to give it a special name. If the storm's wind speed reaches or crosses 74 mph, it is then classified into a hurricane/cyclone/typhoon. Socio - economic status (SES) measure combined with economic and social status and positive trends associated with better health. SES focuses into three common measures like education, occupation and income. SES indicates “relationship to health”. Socio-economic status is one of the most powerful risk factors for poor health outcomes. Persons of lower socio-economic status suffer disproportionately from nearly all diseases and have higher rates of mortality than people of higher socio-economic status. This study collected data information from Cuddalore district Tamilnadu. The comparative study is on tsunami affected area is Alappakkam less affected area is Parangipettai. All table represent “H” which is “ Hindus” , “M” represent “Muslim” , “C” repression “ Christian” and “O” represent others total sample is 160 sample is distributed between highly affected and less affected area having 80 samples each samples or in the divided in the four categories each one is having 20 samples. In the study area concluded that the various categories of population are highly affected both in terms of economic and social aspect. In the age group of 21 - 40 , both highly affected and less affected areas have more affected number of victims are seen in the finding which source that the productive population group are the major victims of the cyclone Thane. It is important to notice that above the age group of 60 has less affected population because of the early warning system are effective which alerted the area which was to be affected. Hence we are thank full to the technological development and accuracy of meteorological department.
