P R E F A C E
Disaster occur with unfailing regularity in India causing immense loss of life, assets
and livelihood. In the present executive structure of the country, the district administration is
bestowed with the nodal responsibility of implementing a major portion of all disaster
management activities. The increasingly shifting paradigm from a reactive response orientation to
a proactive prevention mechanism has put the p r e s s u r e to build a fool proof s y s t e m ,
including within its ambit the components of prevention, mitigation, rescue, relief and
rehabilitation.
Pre- disaster planning is crucial for ensuring an efficient response at the time of a disaster.
A well planned and well rehearsed response system can deal with the exigencies of calamities and
also put up a resilient coping mechanism. Optimal utilization of scarce resources for rescue,
relief and rehabilitation during times of crisis is possible only with detailed planning and
preparation. Keeping in view the nodal role of the district administration in disaster management,
preparation of District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) was imperative.
The District Disaster Management Plan ( DDMP) was prepared after exhaustive sessions of
meeting with S D M s , Tehsildars, Head of the Departments e t c . and various infrastructure
facilities e x i s t i n g in the district a n d those which a r e to be augmented h a v e been worked
out. Further, it is the effort of the Authority to preface a meaningful document so that in case of
any exigency it can s e r v e the e x e c u t i o n of various functions and duties in a stepwise
m a n n e r in line of the exigencies and priorities o u t l i n e d . The draft plan is submitted for
kind perusal and necessary directions. Further the plan will be updated on annual basis.
I hope this document serves a meaningful purpose in planning for a Disaster free Doda
District (J&K).

years.
1.5 DISASTER:
The United Nations defines Disaster as “…the occurrence of a sudden or
major misfortune which disrupts the basic fabric and normal functioning of a society
(Community). It is an event or a series of events which gives rise to casualties and/ or
damage or loss of property, infrastructure, essential services or means of livelihood on a
scale that is beyond the normal capacity of the affected communities to cope with unaided.
The main features of a disaster are:
* Unpredictability
* Unfamiliarity
* Threat
* Speed
* Urgency
* Uncertainty
TYPES OF DISASTER:
There are two main types of Disaster namely, Natural and manmade. Based on the
source of origin or relativity of a disaster, it can be sub divided into the following types-
• Water and Climate: -Eg., Flood, Cyclone, Drought, Tornadoes,
• Geological: - E.g., Landslide and Mudflow, Earthquake, Volcano,
Dam failure, Mine fire.
• Chemical, Industrial and Nuclear Hazards or Disasters.
• Accidents: - Forest fires, urban fires, mine flooding, Oil spill, Major
building collapse, Bomb blast, Electrical accidents, Air, road accidents,
Boat capsizing, Village fire.
3) Types of Disaster (experienced in the District):-
COMMON NATUAL DISASTER MAN-MADE DISASTER
Incessant Rainfall Urban fire-house & Forest

1.6.6 GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY:
1.6.9 SOCIO – ECONOMIC
FEATURES:
District Doda has unique geography with mountainous terrains. As per 2001 census, the
population of District Doda is 2.98 lacs about 80% of its population lives in villages situated in
far flung and inaccessible areas. Snow bound areas remain cut off for short durations and Outer
Saraj areas due to the heavy rains. It has two Sub Divisions namely Bhaderwah and Gandoh (
Bhalessa)
The Statistical records show that only % of the working population of the State
is engaged in industries. Doda District, as a whole, though rich in minerals, forest and agricultural
resources, is one of the industrially backward states of our country.
The main causes of industrial backwardness are geographical and non-geographical
factors. Among geographical factors are included the availability of raw materials, power
resources, labour, markets, land and water supply, transport facility and climate. Among non-
geographical factors mention may be made of capital, Government policies, industrial
inertia, efficient organization and banking facilities. It is only during recent years that the
Government and some individuals have come forward to establish and develop certain industries.
Tourism is also an important industry, apart from developing national
and international goodwill it also helps in the economic development of the
state.

So far as we have developed deep into the matter of economic status of
Doda District as a whole and in particular in various factors such as agriculture and its allied
activities, industries, mining, banking, finance, water supply, electricity, road and transportation,
post and telecommunication, education and health, literacy and employment,
It has been noticed that though post and telecommunication have developed with the advent of
computers and mobile phones, but on the other hand, enrollment of
employees in both government sectors and private sectors are invariably less in the past ten
years, especially in the government sectors (both State and Central) as these have reached a
saturated point.
It must be noted that unemployment is not only an economic problem but also a
social issue, which disturbs the pace of development and peace in the society.
As far as literacy and education is concerned, these may be regarded as two important
criteria that reflect the progress of any individual at any level. A community with more
literate persons is considered to be more powerfully and prudently advanced than their illiterate
counterparts.
When shifting our views to industries, it has been noticed that big
industries are scarce, in fact absent in Doda District which may partially or wholly result in
low per capita consumption of electricity annually. Industrial backwardness may also be
attributed to various factors, geographical and non- geographical that might have hindered the
11
progress of this sector.
Road transport has become one of the important infrastructural needs of the people in
order to help productive activities and mainly for the well being of the society as a whole. Road
transport has become the lifeline of the state as far as its economy is concerned. There are also no
railway lines in Doda as a whole and Doda District in particular, the main reason for this is the
hilly
terrain of the state that renders cheap transportation. On the other hand, although limited air
transport is available in the state at the term of a cone fancy, it is perhaps still considered as a
prerogative of the few and a luxury to the populace.

Note :- The above named villages are flood prone due to their close proximity to
nallahs. However in case of drought, whole of the district Doda barring few areas of
Bhaderwah Gandoh and Marmat Blocks will be affected. Gundna, Ghat and Bhagwah
Blocks are more prone to droughts.
B) – Capability Assessment:-
i) Existing population and mitigations mechanism
the Chief Animal Husbandry Officer Doda has 11 drawing and disbursing Officers
such as Superintendent District Veterinary Doda, Poultry Dev. Officer Doda and
other Block Veterinary Officer functioning at Bhaderwah, Ghat, Bhagwah, Gundna,
Thathri, Gandoh, Marmat and Assar with paravet staff fully equipped with 90
Veterinary Units. We are fully equipped and prepared for facing any health problems
in case of any epidemics as far as infrastructure is concerned. Facing the draught may
require coordinated effort of Agriculture Deptt. and whole of District Administration.
These veterinary units are scattered throughout the District to undertake all physical
activities like prophylactic measures, Dosing, Vaccination, and Artificial insemination
and Castration on need based treatment in their respective jurisdictions as and when
required, besides educating/providing awareness to the farmers and breeders.
Note :-All the man power available with the department will require sufficient no of
vehicles(one for each block with road connectivity).

1.10 RIVERS AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN DISTRICT DODA
Present Doda District consists of the following boundaries. Kastigarh to Barshala
from W e s t to East a n d from Gandoh to Bharath South east to North. On the other
h a n d . From Marmat (South) Dessa in South East ).
Drainage s y s t e m of District Doda consists of the following rivers.
a. River Chenab: A mighty river of the State has it origin in Himachal Pradesh crossing
from Kishtwar – Thathri- Ramban, Gool Salal and Akhnoor its entries Pakistan.
Creation of 08 New District in J&K in 2006, the Chenab leaves a small area in
New Doda District i.e, From Thathri to Baggar only taking a road length of 65 KMs.
The drainage system of District can be expressed only by Chenab system i,e, Chenab and
its tributaries. .
Starting from Thathri we find the main tributary i,e, Donadi coming from Gandoh
and Bonjwah. Two great stretches following through these two take their influence at Donadi (
Bhalessa) Many Hydel Power Projects have been suggested by the Govt. on the Donaddi
Nallah upto Thathri . A Canal is also being processed on the these tributary which will irrigate
thousands of Kanals of land from Bahri to Bhell Thlala . Thousands of acres of plain tracts of
land from Thalala to upper reaches of Thathri needs water to make this area most fertile of the
District . This areas would become the most rice producing of the District .
On the left bank we find Gundna Nallah joining Chenab at Prem Nagar coming a head
on Thathri – Doda road we find Bhella Nallah, a perennial one irrigating Thalala and Bhella
paddy filed but with scarcity of water.
Let us come ahead and sea Neeru Nalla at Pul Doda it joins Chenab source for production
of rice in Bhaderwah valley and its adjoining tracts is the perennial water of Neeru
Nallah. It also produces fish which in taste has its own status .
Let us see other bank of the Chenab and see Bharath Nallah joining Chenab at Ghat
. Any passenger of vehicles can easily see the rice bowel of Doda i,e Ghat .
A remarkable Nallah i.e. Dessa Nallah joins Chenab at Mandole. The Nallah has its
origin in Gaddi Dessa known as Lidder which is one of the twin of lidder flowing in Kashmir
Valley .
At village Mandole two steams unit together and drains hundreds of kanals of land in
21
Bhagwah one the one hand and Kastigarh on the other . The streams is as far as 30 Km from its
origin to Chenab .
A popular canal i,e, Kastigarh canal which patty active in draining the adjacent
fields of Paddy . Then there is Ganika canal a cooperative c a n a l i.e. by public efforts was
started in 1927.
Going ahead we see Raggi Nallah draining Marmat areas , Kanderi Nallah of vegetables
and rice from Jathi to Baggar.

- - - - -
Bridges Assar Sartingal - - - - -
Shelters - - - - - - -
Natural calamities, like cloud bursts, flash floods, heavy rains, earthquake, snowfalls,
hails storms, drought and accident etc. cause lot of miseries to the people. The District has often
been victim of natural calamities causing severe damage to life and property. To mitigate
such miseries and sufferings relief in cash a n d kind is provided to the sufferers and rescue
operations are provided on considerable scale. Besides this repair and restoration works are
taken on priority
. To cope up with the situations, the control rooms are set up at District Level, sub Division
27
and Tehsil headquarters which work under the control of the relief and rescue committee headed
by the Deputy Commissioner, Sub Divisional Magistrate and Tehsildars at their respective
levels. The relief and rescue operations are taken up at war footing level and
communication network between various Government / Voluntary agencies is strengthened
vertically and horizontally to tackle the situations effectively .
The following immediate rescue and relief measures are taken under the Disaster
Management Plan depending upon the extent of damage caused by natural
calamities.
(i) Immediate supply of foodstuffs, fuel, clothing, blankets, tents and cash
etc. (ii) Cash relief/ex-gratia grant to affected families.
(iii) Schemes are sanctioned for repair/restoration of public as well as private
properties v) Medical assistance is given to the needy and injured persons.
iv) Medical assistance is given to the needy and injured persons.
(v) Quick Reaction Team constituted in District Headquarters as well as in Sub Divisional
headquarters to provide additional support and the site.
Snow: -
During winter season when snowfall takes place, some of the parts especially falling
within the region of high altitude remain cut off from the other parts of area. Owing to snowfall
when normal life of the people of such area gets cut off from the other parts of the district/state the
Government is committed to maintain the essential supplies of food grains at the first instance.
Similarly, medical facilities are also one of the essential services. The supply of essential
commodities is maintained through a network of public distribution system in the area and
adequate quantity of food grains is stored in the godowns located at almost all Sub-
Division/Tehsil/Sub Tehsil level. The storage work is undertaken well before the setting in of the
winter season and the supplies from these stores are also made well in advance i.e. prior to the
occurrence. Efforts to clear the roads are always made on war footing but sometimes the lack of
infrastructural facilities is experienced.
FLASH FLOOD BURST AND HIGH VELOCITY WIND.
Heavy rains and floods cause damages to cultivated land of the farmers and wash away the
bridges, human beings and cattle heads. The flash floods sometime hit the inhabited area so
harshly that the administration has to swing into action for commencing rescue and relief operation
28
for which ration, shelter, cloth and utensils etc are immediately needed. For the restoration of
fields of the farmers distress loans are provided and the land revenue is remitted but the allocation
under distress loans is always meager to meet out the demand of the affected people.
FIRE
Due to the climate conditions of the state the houses are constructed with the local material
and the villages inhabited in cluster, results in huge losses in the event of fire mishaps. The losses
are caused to structures and also the personal belongings rendering the people shelter less. Such
accidents take place in urban and rural areas of the District a n d to combat these problem fire
stations are established almost at every sub division/ Tehsil headquarters. But these services need
to be strengthened by using latest fire fighting equipments. The fire service agency personals are
trained and every year organizes training camps to impart training to the personnel of other
departments i n f i r e f i g h t i n g m e t h o d s . The District Administration always rush for
rescue operations in such eventualities and rehabilitate the affected people by providing immediate
relief in cash and kind.
EARTHQUAKE
Earthquake is most unfortunate calamity and a u g m e n t a t i o n of p r e p a r a t o r y p l a n at
the District level, which should include means of alternative communication including mobile
communication provisions of medical and nursing care, removing debris and trained personnel and
transport etc.
MOTOR ACCIDENTS.
Doda being a hilly District, many motor accidents takes place resulting in injury and
deaths of many persons. On receipt of such information District Administration make arrangement

C 3.1 The control room is the nodal centre in terms of Disaster Management. Collecting and
transmitting information to the appropriate places and persons. Giving warning in time to the
people, receiving and providing information’s, monitoring the preparedness and the relief and any
work to be entrusted to the control room. Every information of the district should be available in
the control room. Take precautions with all facilities to make it functional even when there is a
failure of power etc. The control room has been set up in the Office of Deputy Commissioner
(district level).
C 3.2 Community Education and Preparedness Programme
Community is the first and last to face the disasters. Equipping them, educating and
preparing them for the recurring disaster is vital. The most vulnerable areas have been identified
and periodic awareness programme to be provided at the Ward, Panchayat, Educational
Institutions, Social organizations level etc. and also to involve community effectively in planning
for disaster management A community, which is aware and equipped, will boldly face the
disasters.
� Measures available for Promotion of Life/crop/property Insurance. Insurance is a safety
against loss, the people to be educated and made aware to go for insurance against loss life,
crop and property. The steps taken by the District Administration for the interface between
the Insurance Agencies and the People in the vulnerable areas and adjoining areas are very
57
important. The steps taken by the District Administration for safety of life, crop and
property to be detailed.(awaited from c a o Doda)
C 3.3 Available Preparedness measures with different government departments.
Different departments have different role to play in disaster period. Preparedness depends
upon, the manpower available, the training, equipments and the resources available with the
various departments. Location wise infrastructural availability has been prepared. Whether the
existing Preparedness is adequate or it has to be enhanced/obtained from other places also .
Department wise contingency plan for preparedness for disasters have been prepared.(enclosed
annexure….)
C 3.4 Public and Private Resources Inventory.
The resources available with both private and Government have been listed out. It covers
all the details like medical shops, phone numbers, vehicles, trucks, tractors and buildings and all
those, which could be used during disasters. Updated resource inventory will be very handy in
times of handling disasters.(annexure..)

All the infrastructures available in the district in terms of health, traders, transporters,
trained manpower and equipments like wireless, telephones, satellite facilities etc. has been listed
out. Appendix-II.
2. Special Equipment Available.
Special equipments in working conditions are inevitable. The special equipments like,
Earthmoving equipments, Rigs, Cranes, X-ray units, Water tankers, Mobile phones etc. to be listed
out which could be used during the disasters. Appendix-III.
3. List of Vital Installations.
The vital installations are the first to be protected when a disaster occurs, example,
Power Stations, Transformers, Telecommunication centers, Wireless and relay stations,
58
Dams, Defense Establishments, etc. to be listed and even during the pre-disaster period
they have to be safeguarded. Separate plan to be kept ready to safeguard them.
Adequacy of Existing Inventory
During the earlier disasters, the District Disaster Management Committee would have felt
certain deficiencies in infrastructure facilities in terms of warning systems, monitoring systems,
industrial safety measures, fire services limitations in running control room, community
preparedness etc. It is to be checked whether the resources are evenly distributed in the Districts.
The deficiencies and the requirements have to be communicated with the district authorities from
departments and from the district to the government and also with Defense Personnel for filling the
gap. Procurement could also be made on priority basis.
C . 4 DISASTER PREVENTION AND REDUCTION
Issues’ relating to development plans and programmes.
Once the district vulnerability towards the disasters analyzed and rated then all
development plans and programmes should address these disasters both directly and indirectly.
Even at individual level as well as at district level this has to be addressed.. In the district plan
itself there should be provisions for addressing these issues through both long/short term plan and
programmes. Example- if the cattle pressure is heavy the breed improvement programme to be
introduced.
� Long-term prevention strategies and mechanisms.
The steps taken by the District Disaster Managers to prevent the disasters like road
accidents, which are unpredictable, steps taken to mitigate the disasters effect to be analyzed in
detail. The cause of the disasters to be specifically identified. Drainage channels to be maintained
periodically to prevent choking and causing landslides in hill areas. While laying roads in hills, the
debris to be carefully removed and not to be thrown in the valley which triggers landslides. The
59
wetlands to be maintained and water storage structures like ponds, lakes etc. to be de-silted. In
drought prone area, steps to conserve water and moisture both at individual, block/district level to
be explored. Disinfections of water, aforestation, following the building codes and regulatory
instructions and all the steps taken to prevent and reduce the disasters to be examined in detail.
Awareness creation and periodic training, mock drill and mitigation of droughts, diverting the
flooded water to the needy places, following building codes will fall under the long-term
strategies. All preventive steps to be taken according to the need and the local situation. Under
short term, according to the Disasters, such as, enforcing strict road regulations, fire line clearance
to be followed.
C .5 DISASTER MITIGATION
C .5 .1 Short term Measures.
When the disasters are inevitable the only way is to mitigate its impact, which could fall under
the short term measures like immediate relief, reducing the response time to avert any losses, the
basic needs of the vulnerable and affected people to be given. Those who have lost their properties,
movables, those minimum essential items to be supplied, even smaller loans at a concessional rate
for long/short term loan etc. (taccavi loan).
C .5 .2 Long Term Measure
The Long Term Measures would be according to the disasters and need to be planned. In
frequent fire accidents, Fire Service Stations to be set up, periodic checking, training the people
etc. In case of flood, dams, water storage structures, desilting, bank protection and watershed
management to be followed. Environmental degradation caused could be addressed by Watershed
Management principles. Biomass production will be another Long Term Strategy. Planting trees,
shrubs and promoting pastures to be taken in hand.
C .5 .3 Mitigation Plans
60
Structural- The disasters could be mitigated by putting structural solutions like
dams, embankments stone walls, water storage pumps etc. These are costly and needs one time
heavy investment. Example-Dams etc.
Non Structural- The non-structural methods in handling disasters have been gradually
evolved by the community with the traditional knowledge and strength, which have been time
tested, economic, cost effective, user-friendly technology and local people themselves can do it.
The non-structural mitigation plans to be made popular and encouraged as people themselves
could do it. Financial
incentives will encourage people to adopt it. Example- Coastal Mangrove Plantations, Casuarinas,
Cashew Nut Trees, etc.
C.6 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS, GRADING & ZONING
C.6.1 coupled with appropriate public awareness building for relief & Rescue, use of
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) According to the hazards identified and vulnerability
analyzed, Zoning to be done disaster wise according to its occurrence. Example- around the
Industrial areas, Flood plain areas, Accident Prone areas, Landslide prone areas, etc,. The
Geographical Information System will be able to locate the vulnerable areas, and also help in
identifying areas where water table is available for digging wells and borewells etc. GIS is a
good tool in handling disasters. Public awareness creation is the most effective way in handling
disasters. There should be mock drill exercises for evacuation in industrial disasters. Public
awareness building in terms of seismic zones to follow the building codes will be effective. In
the disaster management plan there should be a component for public awareness creation.
Measures for Earthquake Risk Reduction Various measures can be classified in terms of
preparedness, mitigation and prevention in the pre-earthquake phase. These are immediate
rescue and relief measures including temporary sheltering from just after an earthquake event
to about 3 months, and reconstruction and rehabilitation measures in the next six months to a
three year period following an earthquake occurrence. Earthquakes are hazards that strike
without warning and cause widespread damage to various man-made structures and systems.
61
These can neither be prevented nor predicted in terms of their magnitude, place and time of
occurrence.
Therefore, the most effective measures of risk reduction are pre-disaster mitigation, preparedness
and preventive measures for reducing the vulnerability of the build environment and expeditious
effective rescue and relief actions immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake. The
measures can be divided into long term, medium term and short term. The long term measures
requires five to fifteen years, the medium term one to five years and the short term to be taken up
immediately in high risk areas. It may be stated at this juncture that earthquakes don’t kill people,
buildings do. Therefore, most importantly, reduction of vulnerability of buildings and structures
will be the key to earthquake risk reduction. Also, pre-disaster preparedness through a “post
earthquake response plan” including training of the concerned personnel in various tasks is
considered essential for immediate and effective response after an earthquake occurrence. The
major action points are highlighted in the following paragraphs.
C.6.2 Pre Disaster Preventive Measures:
Long term measures- Various activities taken up as long term measures for
earthquake disaster mitigation may include :
� RE-framing the building codes, guidelines, manuals and bye-laws and their proper
implementation. Stricter legislation for highly seismic areas, in the regard.
� In high risk areas, all building should incorporate earthquake resistant features.
� Public utilities like water supply system, communication network, electricity
lines etc. must be earthquake proof to reduce damages to the infrastructure
facilities, alternative arrangement for the same must be developed.
� Community buildings and buildings used for gathering of large number of
persons, like school, dharamshalas, hospitals, prayer halls, etc must be made
earthquake resistant in seismic zones of moderate to high intensities.
� Supporting R&D in various aspects of disaster mitigation, preparedness and
prevention and post disaster management.
� Improving educational curricula in architecture and engineering institutions and
62
technical training in polytechnics and schools to include disaster related topics.
Medium term measures- The medium term measures for earthquake disaster
mitigation may be listed as follows :
� retrofitting of the weak structures in the highly seismic zones.
� Preparation of literature in local languages with do’s and don’ts for the
building constructions.
� Getting community involved in the process of disaster mitigation by
providing them proper education and awareness.
� Supporting local technical institutions/colleges/school to conduct
research and to organize research and to organize exhibitions etc for public
awareness.
� Networking of local NGOs working in the area of disaster management.
Post disaster Preventive Measures.
Short term measures- The urgent measures to be undertaken in the aftermath
of a damaging earthquake will include the following:
� Maintenance of law and order, prevention of trespassing, looting etc.
C.6.3 Evacuation of people
� Recovery of dead bodies and their disposal.
� Medical care for injured.
� Supply of food and drinking water.
� Temporary shelters like tents, metal sheds etc.
� Restoring lines of communication and information.
� Restoring transport routes.
� Quick assessment of damage and demarcation of damaged areas
according to grade of damage.
� Cordoning off severely damaged structures that are liable to collapse
during aftershocks.
� Co-ordination between various agencies involved in rescue and relief work is
extremely important for success in avoiding gaps and duplication. Pre-disaster
preparedness needs to be based on preparing likely damage scenario in probable
63
earthquake occurrences and the estimate of extent of efforts required. The
following preparedness actions will be useful:
� Community should be trained in search, rescue and relief at the time of
disaster in high-risk areas.
� An extensive programme of mass drills may be very helpful in high-risk
areas for earthquake damage reduction.
� Local NGOs should be trained and their capacity and capabilities should be
strengthened.
� Introducing earthquake disaster safety do’s and don’ts and drills in schools.
� To organize training to field personnel of the states in the science and art
of carrying out post disaster damage surveys, (a) for urgent relief
purposes, (b) for repair, reconstruction and retrofitting purposes.
Consolidation and reconstruction.
An effort needs to be made in the emergency phase, to involve the affected
people to the maximum extent so as to create a feeling of self-reliance. They
need to be started as quickly as possible so that the period of relief is
minimized.
� Detailed survey of building for assessment of damage and decision regarding repair,
reconstruction and strengthening or demolition.
� Repair, reconstruction and seismic strengthening or demolition.
� _ Selection of sites for new settlements, if required.
_ Execution of the reconstruction programme.
� _ Review of the existing seismic zoning maps and risk maps.
� _ Review of seismic codes and norms of construction.
� _ Training of personnel, engineers, architects, builders and masons.
� _ Statistical studies regarding the earthquake.
C.6.4 Causes of floods
Flooding conditions may occur due to :
64
� _ River in space,
� _ Snow melt
� _ Storm surges
Short intense storms causing flash floods.
Flooding in rivers is mainly caused by:
� _ Inadequate capacity within the banks of the river to contain high flows.
� _ River bank erosion and silting of riverbeds.
� _ Landslides leading to obstruction of flow and change in the river course.
� _ Synchronizations of flood in the main and tributary rivers.
� _ Flow retardation due to tidal and backwater effects.
� _ Poor natural drainage.
� _ Cyclone and heavy rainfall.
C.6.5 FLOOD DISASTER MANAGEMENT
The various measures adopted for flood mitigation may be categorized into two groups:
(i) Structural
(ii) Non-structural
The general approach was aimed at preventing floodwaters from reaching the potential
damage centers, as a result of which a large number of embankments came up along the
various flood prone rivers. The main thrust of the flood protection programme undertaken in
the country so far in the form of structural measures may be grouped into the following:
� _ Dams and Reservoirs
� _ Embankments, floodwalls.
� _ Natural detention basin
� _ Channel improvement
� _ Drainage improvement
� _ Diversion of floodwaters.
65
For effective functioning of all the physical measures taken, it is necessary that pre and post
monsoon checks must be made and special repairs must be carried out prior to flood period.
The non- structural measures on the other hand aim at modifying the susceptibility to flood
Damage as well as modifying the loss burden the various non-structural measures being
implemented in the country is:
(i) Modifying the susceptibility to flood damages through:
� _ Flood plain management
� _ Flood proofing including disaster preparedness, and response planning and
� _ Flood forecasting and warning
(ii) Modifying the flood loss burden through:
� _ Disaster relief
� _ Flood fighting including Public Health Measures
Setting up of flood forecasting and warning services is one of the most cost-effective nonstructural
measures available.
Preparedness against floods
Within the overall master plan for the state, there has to be a contingency plan for each
district involving steps required to be taken before the onset of floods during the floods and
post-flood management. The following would be some of the essential components of flood
preparedness: -
I By the Department Concerned
� _ ‘Pre Monsoon Inspection’ of all canals and drains by the respective departments,
which could include silt and details clearance from the seasonal rivulets.
� _ Regular clearance of the drains from silt and weeds to make the drainage system fully
functional and restoration of natural drainage blocked by roads and canals.
66
� _ Regular maintenance of embankments of rivers, canals, distributors etc. and regular
check of the canals land siphons and clearing them from silt.
� _ Clearing of storm water and sewerage drains in towns before monsoon.
� _ Constitution of committees comprising of heads of all emergency services, medicals,
police, transportation and the district administration to ensure proper coordination
during the crises.
II By the District Administration.
� _ Review of Contingency Plan.
� _ Update/Modify it, if deemed necessary.
� _ Co-ordinate with NGOs
� _ Review and visit to likely places for evacuation to ensure their functional availability.
� _ Make people aware of the warning dissemination mechanism.
� _ Do’s and don’ts.
Response Mechanism
On receipt of warning of the impending disaster, part of the immediate response has
to be to warn the people. In the case of floods and cyclones, enough early warning
time is normally available for this purpose. Existing procedures lay down dissemination
procedures on the part of the Government agency concerned- through print and electronic media as
well as informing the authorities concerned. It is the secondary reach to all the people in the
likely affected areas that is the responsibility of the District Administration especially to
those people who have no access to mass media modes. This could be by beat of
drums, sounding of sirens, village gongs, if any, or by word of mouth. Some local
means need to be evolved and be kept in place to ensure that people come to know of
the impending calamity and to take suitable follow- up action to save their lives and
property as also to help the neighborhood wherever they seen. It has been seen that the largest
cause of loss of lives is through house collapses when giving warning is possible and when it is not
possible. Safety lies in evacuation people to safer pre-designated areas along with their precious
67
belongings for the duration of the calamity. Generally safe places (at higher elevations) are the
pucca buildings i.e. school, Panchayat Ghar and other public and identified private buildings. It is
essential to provide food, safe drinking water hygiene and sanitation facilities in these areas
Evacuation Drill must be well known to the population at large, as to where to go in case of a
calamity. One of the known reasons for non-evacuation is the safety of the abandoned houses and
material left behind. It should be an integral part of the preparedness plan to earmark responsibility
for safety of these properties and instill confidence in this regard. This will help people gain
confidence in the system, make them willing to get evacuated and thus keep the loss of human
lives to the minimal. During the occurrence of a natural calamity, two activities come to the
forefront simultaneously- administration of relief and search and rescue. The latter can comprise of
rescuing people from the fallen/damaged houses or other places and evacuating them to safer
places and administering medical treatment when required. There are well established procedures
for rendering relief-evacuation, rescue, providing food, shelter (temporary), drinking water,
medical care, few pieces of clothing, utensils. Once the calamity is over, relief can help people
restore their lives back to normal by helping them repair/rebuild their houses, helping them in
restarting their small businesses, compensating somewhat for loss of life and property. Damage
Assessment is the responsibility of the district/local administration, which covers all aspects of
private as well as public properties, including loss of crops etc. An inventory of all such details is
prepared along the estimated costs of damages and sent to the state government who may release
funds from the Calamity Relief Fund for distribution of assistance at the prescribed norms. If the
calamity is found to be beyond the capability of the State Government to meet from CRF, then a
memorandum detailing the damages caused and the help required is sent to the state government.
The Govt., may after examination, decide to depute a team to make an on conclusion after visits to
the affected areas and arrive at a certain figure required to meet the calamity. It forms the basis for
distribution of assistance at the prescribed norms.

C.6.8 .DROUGHT
Introduction
Drought is a temporary reduction in water or moisture availability significantly below
the normal or expected amount for a specific period. This condition occurs either due
to inadequacy of rainfall, or lack of irrigation facilities, under exploitation or deficient
availability for meeting the normal crop requirements in the context of the agro climatic
conditions prevailing in particular area. This has been scientifically computed as
Moisture Index (MI). Drought, in this context, can be defined as adverse MI or
adverse water balance which may be attributable not only to a prolonged dry spell
due to lack of sufficient rainfall but also due to such other factors as excessive vapor transpiration
losses high temperature, low soil holding capacity etc. The inadequacy
is with reference to the prevailing agro climatic conditions in any particular area.
Therefore there is a drought in Jaisalmer (Average rainfall 200mm) if rainfall is not
sufficient to grow grass and paltry coars grains,
71
Types of drought
There are three types of drought
� _ Meteorological Drought describes a situation where there is a reduction in
rainfall for a specific period(days, months, season or year) below a specific
amount(long term average for a specific time).
� _ Hydrological Drought involves a reduction in water resources (stream flow,
lake level, ground water, underground aquifers) below a specified level for a
given period of time.
� _ Agricultural Drought is the impact of meteorological/hydrological drought on
crop yield.
The three drought types are completely different and not synonymous.
Drought Management.
It may be state that drought by its very nature partakes of crises management, the
success depending on one’s ability first to predict and then to control. The
strategy for this management is basically three fold:
(i) Close monitoring of the emerging drought scenario so as to develop an
advance warning system,
(ii) Relief measures required for providing immediate succor to the affected
population and the upkeep of the cattle wealth, and if possible integrate it
with long term objectives and
Drinking Water
There can be large number of villages without adequate water supply within
reasonable distance or where sources have got dried up or gone derelict. Drying of
existing wells and search for new sites is a perpetual exercise. Hand pumps
account for the bulk of the coverage and their repair and maintenance is a major
problem for which the village community itself must assume much greater
72
responsibilities. Those living in hamlets outside the villages are still required to
cover 2 to 5 kms distance for getting their drinking water supply requirements and
the problem is similar in many other states.
� _ A detailed contingency plan for supply of drinking water in rural areas to
be formulated with technical help.
� _ Adequate plans to be made in the supply of drinking water in urban areas
through bores, tankers and other suitable measures.
� _ Continuous monitoring of rural and urban drinking water availability in
drought affected areas.
� _ Preparation of a water budget for each irrigation reservoir covering drinking
water, Kharif and Rabi requirements and capping damage to ground water
regime.
� _ Undertaking repairs of tube wells to make all tube wells operational and
install additional tube-wells, taking care at the same time to prevent over
exploitation of and damage to ground water regime.
Health & Public Health Measures
The nutritional requirement of all the children, expectant mothers and nursing
mothers should be taken care of. Care has to be taken to disinfect drinking water
sources to prevent the spread of water-borne diseases and plans need to be
drawn up to cope with likely epidemics. There is need for constant surveillance of
public health measures including immunization to be undertaken.
Cattle care
The cattle are the worst effected during a drought situation. Where it is not
possible to supply fodder or take medical care of cattle, cattle camps are opened
to take complete care of the cattle population.
The following is a checklist of points for monitoring the fodder requirement in the
73
difficult drought situation.
� _ Assessment of fodder requirement in drought affected districts and locate
areas where shortages are likely to occur and arrange for supplies from
outside.
� _ Monitoring the prices of fodder in selected places/markets.
� _ Arrange to procure fodder in selected outlets.
� _ State Forest Department to arrange for the cutting and bailing of grasses in the forest,
wherever possible to meet the demand from fodder deficit districts.
� _ Fodder cultivation to be encouraged wherever feasible.
� _ Ensure supply from molasses to cattle feed plants.
� _ Obtaining from premixed feed and urea-molasses bricks to the extent necessary.
C.6.9 LANDSLIDES
Introduction
Landslides are simply defined as the mass movement of rock, debris or earth
down a slope and have come to include a broad range of motions whereby
falling, sliding and flowing under the influence of gravity dislodges earth
material. They often take place in conjunction with earthquakes, floods and
volcanoes. At times, prolonged rainfall causing heavy landslides block the flow
of river for quite some time. The formation of river blocks can cause havoc to
the settlements downstream on its bursting.
He major parameters that call for evaluation are as follows:
� _ Slope-Magnitude, Length and Direction
� _ Soil thickness
� _ Relative relief
� _ Land use
74
� _ Drainage-pattern and density
� _ Landslide affected population
Causes of Landslides
Landslides can be caused by poor ground conditions, geomorphic phenomena,
natural physical forces and quite often due to heavy spells of rainfall coupled with
impeded drainage.
A checklist of Causes of Landslides
1 Ground Causes
1.Weak, sensitivity or weathered materials.
2. Adverse ground structure (joints, fissures etc.)
3. Physical property variation Permeability, Plasticity etc)
2 Morphological Causes.
1. Ground uplift (volcanic, tectonic etc.)
2. Erosion (wind, water)
3. Scour
4. Deposition loading in the slope crest
5. Vegetation removal (by forest fire, drought etc.)
3. Physical Causes
1. Prolonged precipitation
2. Rapid draw-down
3. Earthquake
4. Volcanic eruption
5. Thawing
6. Shrink and swell
75
7. Artesian pressure
4 Man-made Causes
1.Excavation (particularly at the toe of slope)
2.Loading of slope crest.
4. Draw-down (of reservoir)
5. Deforestation
6. Irrigation
7. Mining
8. Artificial vibrations
9. Water impoundment and leakage from utilities.
Study has revealed the following main features
� _ There seems to be a relation between intensity of rainfall and slope failures.
� _ Majority of the catastrophic mass movements is confined to the overburden
without affecting the underlying rock.
� _ Improper land use practices such as heavy tilling, agricultural practices and
settlement patterns have contributed to creep and with drawl of toe support
in many cases.
� _ A common factor noticed in most of these vulnerable slopes is deforestation in the recent
past, cultivation of seasonal crops and increase in settlements.
� _ In all the vulnerable slopes terracing/contour building is adopted mainly to prevent soil
erosion and to enhance percolation during dry season for cultivation of cash crops as well
as seasonal crops. Invariably, in all these cases, natural drainage lines on slopes are blocked
or modified without adequate provision for surface drainage of excess storm water during
high intensity rains prevalent in the area.
� _In some areas development activities like construction of buildings, road cuttings,
embankments, cut and fill structures causes modification of natural slopes, blocking of
76
surface drainage, loading of critical slopes and with drawl of toe support promoting
vulnerability of critical slopes.
MITIGATORY MEASURES
In general the chief mitigatory measures to be adopted for such areas are :- (i)
drainage correction,
(ii) proper land use measures,
(iii) reforestation of the areas occupied by degraded vegetation and
(iv) creation of awareness among local population.
C.6.10 FOREST FIRES
Introduction
Forests face many hazards but the most common hazard is forest fire.
Forests fires are as old as forests themselves. They pose threat not only to the
forest wealth but also to the entire regime of fauna and flora seriously
disturbing the bio-diversity and ecology and environment of a region.
During summer, when there is no rain for months, the forests become littered
with dry senescent leaves and twigs, which could burst into flames ignited by
the slightest spark. The Himalayan forests have been burning regularly during
the last few summers, with colossal loss of vegetation cover of that region.
Causes of Forest Fire.
Forest fires are caused by:
i) Natural causes
ii) Manmade causes
� _ Natural causes – Many forest fires start from natural causes such as
77
lightning which set trees on fire. Periodic lightning-induced fires have been
recorded throughout history from India and elsewhere. However, rain
extinguishes such fires without causing much damage. High atmospheric
temperatures and dryness (low humidity) offer favourable circumstances
for a fire to start.
� _ Man made causes- Fires are caused when a source of fire like naked
flame, cigarette or bidi, electric spark or any other source of ignition comes
into contact with inflammable material.
Classification of forest fire
Forest fires can broadly be classified into three categories:
1`. Natural or controlled forest fires.
2. Forest fires caused by heat generated in the litter and other biomes in summer
through carelessness of people (human neglect) and
3. Forest fires purposely caused by local inhabitants.
Types of Forest Fire.
There are two types of forest fire
1.Surface fire and
3. Crown fire
� _ Surface Fire- A forest fire may burn primarily as a surface fire, spreading along
the ground as the surface litter ( senescent leaves and twigs and dry grasses etc.)
on the forest floor are engulfed by the spreading flames.
� _ Crown Fire- The other type of forest fire is a crown fire in which the crown of trees
and shrubs burn, often sustained by a surface fire, A crown fire is particularly very
dangerous in a coniferous forest because resinous material given off by burning
logs burn furiously. On hill slopes tends to flow up the slope spreading flames
alongwith it. It the fire starts uphill, there is les likelihood of it by spreading
downwards.
78
Precautions
The following are the important precautions against fire:
i) To keep the source of fire or source of ignition separated from combustible and inflammable
material.
ii) To keep the source of fire under watch and control.
iii) Not allow combustible or inflammable material to ply up unnecessarily and to stock the same
as per procedure recommended for safe storage of such combustible or
inflammable material.
iv) To adopt safe practices in areas near forest.
v) To incorporate fire reducing and fire fighting techniques and equipment while planning a
building or coal mining operation.
vi) In case of forest fires, the volunteer teams are essential not only for fire fighting but also to
keep watch on the start of forest fires and sound an alert.
vii) To arrange fire fighting drills frequently.
At District Level
C.7 Evacuation
On receipt of advance warning, the primary task of carrying out evacuation and other necessary
measures is that of the district authorities. Plans at district level have sufficiently provided for this.
C.7 .1 Relief & Rescue Operations
During the occurrence of a calamity as well as during the post disaster scenario, the district
headquarters is the focal point for all rescue and relief activities.
Damage Assessment and Information Gathering.
Based on the assessment carried out by the district authorities. Funds and other
resources can be mobilized at state/national or international level. The disaster
management plans at district level should provide a comprehensive checklist for
carrying out such assessment in the Disaster Management Plan .
79
C.7 .2 Short Term Plan
Short-term plan comprising relief to be provided immediately following a disaster has been based
on past experience. These Short-term plans are action based and aimed at restoring normalcy in the
shortest possible time.
As one of the foremost requirements this plan defines as to where it would be applicable and the
agencies, responsible for its implementation and coordination. And within the boundaries , the
following inputs required are:
Defined vulnerable Area (s)
annexure…..
Role Players.
� _ The amount of resource material required to be mobilized as relief may be
based on the data on the intensity and spread of various disasters in the
area in the past period.
Documentation
Past records
� _ Certain areas are prone to disaster and each time relief is provided, a
number of short comings come to light: these become lessons to serve as
inputs for future planning of relief and rescue exercises.
� _ Short-term plans are based on the declared vulnerability of the area
of particular types of disasters. Forecasts on future disasters should be
usefully translated into ‘action plans’ an exercise, which would be most
useful.
Committees/Task Forces for Plan
Operationalization.
� _ Short Term Plans have incorporated suggestions and capabilities of all concerned
departments of the District / Non-Governmental Organizations and Community Based
Organizations. Therefore, Plans have been prepared by setting up Committees Groups at
appropriate level to incorporate their inputs.
80
C.7 .3 Long-term Plans
The situation may not always warrant a long term plans, but such plans should
have the ability to build a culture of disaster mitigation and be aimed at
reducing vulnerability of the area. Such long tern plans should incorporate
policy directives on preparedness as well as post disaster reconstruction and
rehabilitation phases (the latter as a follow up of the short term contingency
Plans)
� _ The foremost requirement for the preparation of a long-term plan is
establishing its need in an area. Need may be established on the basis of
the vulnerability of the area and the resource tradeoff between the cost of
its implementation and other competing needs for overall development. In
this context the Long Term Disaster Mitigation Plan or Rehabilitation Plan
as part of overall development plan becomes significant.
� _ In cases of Rehabilitation Plan, the level of damage that has taken place
will determine whether long-term intervention is required or not? The strategies of the
Rehabilitation would depend considerably on the Damage Assessment Report.
� _ A detailed study survey of the community, which looks into the needs
and expectations in detail and seeks out their traditions and customs which
they would like to preserve, need to be carried out. This would serve as
input deciding an intervention strategy that is acceptable to the community.
Rehabilitation
Disaster Management as a component of Development Planning.
� _ The long term plan should seek an objective of achieving overall
development and by satisfying basic needs (shelter, economic and social)
of the community. Reducing disaster vulnerability would be a means to
achieve the objective and not an end in itself.
� Long Term Plans may be implemented successfully only through
partnerships with NGOs and community participation. The involvement of
these bodies should be clearly indicated in the action plan.
Important Relief Measures at District Level:
81
The relief measures listed out in the contingency plans are as follows
1. Establishment of Control Room
Immediate after receipt of warning or otherwise of an impending disaster the
first part of the action taken by the district administration is to establish a control room.
2. Administration of Relief.
District is the primary level with requisite resources to respond to any natural
calamity, through the issue of essential commodities group assistance to the
effected people, damage assessment and administering appropriate
rehabilitation and restoration measures.
3. Military Assistance.
If the district administration feels that the situation is beyond its control, then
immediate military assistance may be sought to carry out the relief operations.
4. Medical Care.
Specialized Medical Care may be required to help the affected population.
Besides, preventive medicine may have to be administered to prevent
outbreak of disease.
5. Epidemics
In the relief camps set up for the affected population, there is likelihood of
epidemics from a number of sources. The strategy should be to subdue such
sources and immunize the population against them.
82
6. Salvage
A major effort is needed to salvage destroyed structure and property.
Essential services like communications, roads, bridges, electricity would have to be
repaired and restored for normalization of activities.
7. Corpse Disposal.
Disposal of dead bodies is to be carried out as part of the operation to prevent the
outbreak of epidemics.
8. Outside Relief
During disaster situations-considerable relief flows in from outside, thus there is an
immediate need to coordinate the relief flow so that the maximum coverage is achieved
and there is no duplication of work in the same area.
9. Special Relief.
Along with compensation doles, essential items may have to be distributed to the
affected population to provide for temporary sustenance.
10. Information.
Information flow and review is essential part of the relief exercises, constant monitoring
is required to assess the extent of damage which forms the basis of further relief to the
affected area.
