sector. Drought is also related to the timing of precipitation. Other climatic

factors such as high temperature, high wind, and low relative humidity are often

associated with drought. Drought is a recurrent feature of the climate. It occurs in

virtually all climatic zones and its characteristics vary significantly among

regions. Drought differs from aridity in that drought is temporary; aridity is a

permanent characteristic of regions with low rainfall.

Action Points:

43

8. RECOVERY & RECONSTRUCTION PLAN

Getting back to normal.

• Establish a programme to restore both the disaster site and the damaged

materials to a stable and unstable condition.

• Determine priorities for restoration work and seek the advice of a conservator

as to the best methods and options, and obtain cost estimates.

• Develop a phased conservation programme where large quantities of material

are involved.

• Discard items not worth retaining, and replace or re-bind items not justifying

special conservation treatment.

• Contact insurers.

• Clean and rehabilitate the disaster site.

• Replace treated material in the refurbished site.

• Analyze the disaster and improve the plan in the light of experience.

RE-CONSTRUCTION:

Relocation and Rehabilitation Preparation of Development Plans

Preparation of Town Planning Scheme Infrastructure Development Following

Functions will be performed by the various nodal and support agencies of the

District Emergency Support Function Plan- 2004.Communication agencies

should start setting up and restoring the telecommunication services by way of

towers and cables etc. Work should be done with prioritizing the services for

government departments and the agencies providing emergency support. Schools

and Education sector should also be connected with telecom services. Water

Supply agency, primarily NDMC should restore water supply pipes. Care has to

be taken to ensure no contamination.

44

Power Supply agencies would set up cables and power. Restoration of

power supply should be done. The department may be required to take help from

other agencies. Trauma Counseling agencies and volunteer organizations, NGOs

have an active role to play in getting the people out of the shocked state.

Medical services would also be required on a long term for certain

serious cases of injury. Transport services should resume as soon as road and

debris clearance has been done effectively. Routes may be required to be changed

in case the roads have been damaged.

The most important agency involved in disaster recovery is the Relief-

(food and shelter) agency. Once damage assessment has been done, rehabilitation

would begin. Food supply may be required for a few days after the disaster.

Restoration of Basic Infrastructure:

After any disaster, restoration of basic infrastructure is a big concern.

Following issues in reconstruction need to be looked at while restoration and

retrofitting of buildings.

• Ensuring Earthquake Resistance

• Available Technical Know How

• Development of Appropriate guidelines

• Appropriate Awareness creation

• Capacity building for carrying out the works Control and assurance of

required quality of construction

Reconstruction through NGOs

• The decision on the relocation / in-situ reconstruction of the district should

be taken by the District Disaster Management Committee. Relocation of

any big colony may be done only when majority of the community agrees

on it.

45

Owner Driven Reconstruction

• The owners themselves re construct often houses. One of the benefits of

this kind of reconstruction is that it ensures that the design of the houses is

determined by the owners themselves, as per their needs and preferences. It

also ensures that instead of being uniform the houses reconstructed are of

different patterns. The approach includes “Technology Transfer” to the

community and subsequently the sustainability of the programme.

Community-Based Needs Assessments

• In order to come up with a proper and acceptable program for recovery

and rehabilitation, it is also important to understand the felt needs of

affected communities. Consulting affected populations through interviews

prior to any recovery program ensures public acceptance and support of

any planned Endeavour. Needs assessment helps prioritize particular areas

that need the most immediate action for rehabilitation.

a. Infrastructure and Services

b. Community Livelihood

c. Priorities for Habitat Restoration

FINANCIAL GRANTS AND PROVISION:

• For restoration of the damaged buildings /houses either the State or Central

Government has to make provisions for financial grants or the following

strategy can be adopted .

46

i) Insurance of the Buildings :-

Either the houses or the buildings should be insured in the district

Shimla either by the owner or through the sate govt. or on damage the

return so received from the Insurance companies shall be utilized for

reconstruction.

ii) Short Term Loans:-

The govt. should extend the facility of short term loans to the

affected families on subsidized interest rates.

iii) Assistance/financial aid:-

The govt. may provide the assistance /aid to the affected families ma

be through the existing schemes like Indira AwasYojna/ Rajiv Awas Yojna

/Atal Awas Yojna etc., or another special aid to the affected families

schemes so the families under stress can be helped out in the reconstruction

their houses.

iv) Grants :-

Another grants can be given to the affected families so that the

person in distress can be helped out.

MEDICAL REHABILITATION

psychological treatment to the affected persons who have witnessed the

trauma of the disaster.

47

9. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklist

SOPs and checklists could be prepared for various stakeholders effective

response. These can be made based on the functioning of Emergency Support

Function (ESF) groups or Incident Response System (IRS).Depending on the

hazard profile and level of exposure the district should decide in a participatory

way the number of ESF covering all the above.

Humanitarian Relief and Assistance:

• Food

• Drinking Water

• Medicines

• Trauma care

• Clothing

• Other essential needs

• Shelter Management

III. ROLL AND ACTION PLAN OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS:

REVENUE DEPARTMENTS:-

As already instructed the officers of this department will be visiting

the irrigation sources such as tanks and river beds and ascertain their position

regarding inflow, discharge and water storage levels etc., and see the

arrangements of strengthening the bunds etc., whenever necessary in consultation

with technical experts. The villagers should be informed of the real situation with

the least possible delay. Rumours can be avoided by giving correct and timely

intimation among the public.

In Sivaganga Collectorate, a separate Flood Control Room is

functionng. This control room is working round the clock. Any incident

regarding Natural Calamities may be reported to Collectorate through a Four

Digit Toll free Telephone No.”1077”. A web based reporting system to State

Relief Commissioner, ie. Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Revenue

Administration, Chepauk, Chennai-5 is also functioning at Collectorate. The

IDRN (Indian Disaster Resource Network) is also updated every year.

The Tahsildar, Zonal Deputy Tahsildars and Revenue inspectors

should inspect the proposed shelter home to assess its stability and satisfy

themselves that buildings are fit to be used as shelter homes at short notice.

The Taluk Tahsildar should know how to operate the VHF sets

available with the police and the Zonal Officer are used in transmitting urgent

messages. A list of generators available in the respective Taluk should be kept in

the Taluk office and they should be utilised for lighting in the places where flood

and cyclone affected are accommodated.

49

The Tahsildar should keep enough petromax and Hurricane lights in the

camps as standby. Tahsildars should also assess the availability of Tarpauline

and other materials to set up temporary shelters during rescue operations.

The Village Administrative Officers and Firka Revenue Inspectors will be

held responsible for the communication of messages from village level to the

Taluk Office. For this purpose, the Village Administrative Officers and Revenue

Inspectors should make use of the nearby private Telephone and cell phones from

Industrial Units, Merchants etc., Such messages may also be passed through

wireless sets kept in the nearby police stations or Panchayat Union Offices.

Similarly in case of message about floods and cyclones, the Tahsildars should

immediately depute the Deputy Tahsildars and other staff to check up the

vulnerable points and to commence flood relief operations. The arrangements

made should be informed to the higher officials concerned without any delay. The

Taluk Tahsildars along with the Zonal Deputy Tahsildars and Firka Revenue

Inspectors should familiarise themselves with the disaster prone area. They

should have the list of schools and other public buildings details which can be

used as shelter places.

Wherever the bread winners of the family are lost, cash relief of

Rs.1,50,000/- should be given immediately by the Taluk Tahsildar concerned.

Taluk Tahsildars should send proposals to the Collector without loss of time.

Enumeration of casualty should be done quickly and report sent to the Collector

then and there promptly. The scale of relief both cash and kind, admissible is

shown in the Government orders.

50

emergency or disaster. When an event arises, timely, accurate, clear, concise and

credible messages have a tremendous impact on how the public reacts during the

emergency, and their perception of the response or recovery efforts.

This Emergency Information Response Plan has been designed to aid the

jurisdiction in responding to an event that overwhelms our regular information

communication processes. It spells out the crucial first steps and formalizes the

organization’s procedures.

The goals of this Emergency Information Response Plan are to:

• rapidly provide access to timely, accurate, clear, consistent and

credible information to the public, media, employees and external

stakeholders;

• address, as quickly as possible, rumors, inaccuracies and

misperceptions;

• coordinate communication efforts with partner organizations;

• fulfill information requests from the public’s, media, municipal staff

and other interested or affected parties;

• eliminate or reduce public fear or inappropriate behavior; and

• Direct resident and business community action.

I have reviewed and approved the attached Emergency Information

Response Plan and hereby pronounce that this is the information plan to follow

Flooding: Dos and Don'ts Do Don't

Switch off all electrical and gas

appliances, and turn services off at the

mains.

Don't walk through flowing water -

currents can be deceptive, and shallow,

fast moving water can knock you off

your feet.

Take your emergency kit and try to let

your friends and family where you are

going.

Don't swim through fast flowing water

- you may get swept away or struck by

an object in the water.

Avoid contact with flood water - it may

be contaminated with sewage, oil,

chemicals or other substances.

Don't drive through a flooded area -

You may not be able to see abrupt

drop-offs and only half a metre of flood

water can carry a car away. Driving

through flood water can also cause

additional damage to nearby property.

If you have to walk in standing water,

use a pole or stick to ensure that you do

not step into deep water, open

manholes or ditches

Don’t return to your property until the

“All Clear” has been given.

Stay away from power lines - electrical

current can travel through water. Report

power lines that are down to the power

company

Don’t reconnect your power supply

until a qualified engineer has checked

it. Be alert for gas leaks - do not smoke

or use candles, lanterns, or open flames.

Never use TVs, VCRs, CRT terminals

or other electrical equipment while

standing on wet floors, especially

concrete.

Look before you step - after a flood, the

ground and floors are covered with debris,

which may nclude broken bottles, sharp

objects, nails etc. Floors and stairs covered

with mud and debris can be slippery.

Don’t eat any food that has come into

contact with flood water.

ABSTRACT

Natural Calamities- Flood Relief- Heavy rain and flood during March 2008- Enhancement of Relief assistance- orders- issued.

Revenue NC(III) Department

G.O.Ms.No.181 Dated:: 28.03.2008

Read::

1. G.O.(Ms) No.630 , Revenue (NC III) Dept., dt. 29.10.2007

2. Hon’ble Minister’s (Rural Development and Local Administration) announcement made

in the floor of Assembly on 26.03.2008

ORDER::-

The unprescedented heavy rain all over the State during March 2008 has

caused extensive damage to agricultural crops and cattle loss. This requires Relief and

Rehabilitation to the affected farmers and cattle owners. It is estimated that an extent of

47.257 hectares of paddy crops besides crops have been damaged and about 800 cattle have

died due to these heavy rains.

2. As per the existing norms of the Calamity Relief Fund, a sum of Rs.2000/-

per hectare is eligible as input subsidy for crop loss in rainfed areas, Rs.4000/- per hectare for

all types of crops in assured irrigation areas and Rs.6000/- per hectare for perennial crops.

Further, input subsidy is limited to a ceiling of 1 hectare per farmer and upto 2 hectares per

farmer in case of successive calamities for farmers other than small and marginal category.

Also, a family is entitled to a relief amount of Rs.10,000/- per milch animal ie.,

buffalo/cow/camel/yak, Rs.5000/- per calf and Rs.1000/- per sheep/goat. The relief payable for

the loss of cattle is restricted to one large milch animal or four small milch animals or 1 big

draught animal or 2 samll draught animals per household.

3. The Government have examined the issue. The present damage due to the

unprecedented summer rains is a special case and expecially the loss to the farmers is very

high, because, the rains have destroyed the crop at the harvest stage, when all the crop in

puts have already been put in. In this situation it is considered that the normal compensation/

relief provided for the damage to crop and for the loss of cattle will be inadequate when

compared to the total loss sustained by the farmers and hence this needs to be treated as a

special case. The Government have therefore, as a special case decided to enhance the relief

paid to the farmers for the damages of paddy crops and also to remove the ceiling on land

93

holding per farmer for relief purpose and also to remove the restriction on payment or relief for

the loss of cattle, on account of unseasonal heavy rain during the 3rd week of March 2008

4. The Government accordingly direct that for the loss of crop and cattle during

the heavy rains during March 2008

i) the relief paid for the damage of per hectare of paddy crop be enhanced from

Rs.4000/- to Rs.7000/-

ii) the enhanced rate of relief assistance of per hectare Rs.7,500/- to be paid for

damage to paddy crops; and as per CRF norms for all other crops shall be irrespective of the

size of holding l.e., the limitation of existing ceiling area be removed.

iii) the restriction on number of dead cattle /milch animal per house per house hold for

payment of relief be removed . As such, amount prescribed as per CRF norms on per animal

basis shall be disbursed without ceiling of number of animals per household.

5. The expenditure on account of the orders issued in paragraph 4 above will

be met from the calamity Relief fund initially.

6. The Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration is

authorized to draw and disburse the amount to the respective District Collectors as per the

existing procedure. The Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration

shall send the utilization certificate to the Accountant General/ Government and remit the

balance amount if any to the Government account.

7. The amount sanctioned above shall be debited to the following Head of Account.
