CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION

One of the main causes of impoverishment of the rural areas of has been the recurrent floods which result in the degradation of agricultural soil, loss of life and property and great suffering to the affected people. In Assam, a set of Executive Instructions for dealing with such situations was issued in 1959. There were many comments and suggestions for a revision of the instructions and also for a systematic approach to these problems. In 1976, the Government of Assam codified the instructions and issued the Assam Relief Manual. This Manual, as amended and revised from time to time, lays down the steps to be taken in preparation for floods and other natural calamities and for rescue, relief and rehabilitation once the calamity has taken place. The Assam Relief Manual has been updated as Assam State Disaster Management Manual and is under the process of cabinet approval. The most important role has been assigned to the Deputy Commissioners and the Sub-divisional Officers under the overall guidance and supervision of the Divisional Commissioners. They have been asked to minimize the damage to life and property by a predetermined, planned and timely approach to the problem. The factors which cause such damage have been identified as lack of preparedness, failure to give timely warning to the people of the exposed areas likely to be affected by flood, dearth of boats, inability to communicate immediately with the affected areas, inadequate coordination between departments, officials and voluntary agencies, unplanned action and time-lag in mobilizing resources. The Divisional Commissioners, the Deputy Commissioners and Sub-divisional Officers are required to take action to obviate these inadequacies and to remove the bottlenecks. Nalbari is one of the flood prone districts of Assam. There are several nos. of rivers and tributaries in Nalbari which originates from Bhutan hills. They are Pagladia, Baralia, Nona, Ghagra, Mora Chowalkhoa, Mora Pagladia, Tihu and Kaldia etc. They flows through the heart of the district and merges in the river Brahmaputra. The topography of the area is hot and humid, subjected to heavy rainfall during summer with a maximum rainfall of 1000mm. Sometime, due to incessant rain in the Bhutan hills, all the tributaries flow through the district causing breaches of the embankment and guide bunds including overflow through the river bank. Again, due to continuous raining, the flood water of these tributaries submerges roads and bridges. After flood, there arises the problem of erosion, breaches of the road embankment and epidemic outbreak. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to initiate preparedness measures before the flood season to act affectively during flood.

CHAPTER-II

FLOOD AND ITS MANAGEMENT

2.1. Flood:

Flood is a state of high water level along a river channel or on the coast that leads to inundation of land, which is not usually submerged. Floods may happen gradually and also may take hours or even happen suddenly without any warning due to breach in the embankment, spill over, heavy rains etc. Around 12% of the country’s land area is prone to floods which means around 40 million hectares are prone to flood and annually on an average 8 million is affected by floods. The most flood prone are the Brahmaputra, Ganga and the Meghana basins. The states are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam and Orissa.. The frequency and intensity of floods has grown in the country over the years primarily because of the increased encroachment of flood plains. Interestingly, while the number of deaths caused by flooding has decreased over the last decade, the number of affected populations and economic losses has increased significantly. These trends demand better preparedness at national, provincial and local levels to make sure that appropriate and effective response measures are taken during flood emergency to minimize the loss of lives and properties. Apart from an effective disaster response system, it is important to have a good flood prevention and mitigation system to achieve objectives of vulnerability reduction. State governments have come forward to take up mitigation programmes like construction of raised platforms, embankments, flood walls, sea walls along the various flood prone rivers, To mitigate flood losses, mostly earthen embankments, drainage channels and a number of town protection works have been undertaken which have provided a reasonable degree of protection. Several non-structural measures, such as flood forecasting and warning and flood-proofing programmes, have also been taken. To minimize flood damage the basic approach is to prevent floodwaters from reaching the damage vulnerable centres. The Flood Forecasting Network of CWC sends information to all the major flood prone inter-State river basins in the country. Information from satellites is used for mapping and monitoring flood prone areas. The Central Water Commission (CWC) under the Ministry of Water Resources issues flood forecasts and warnings. A flood alert is issued well in advance of the actual arrival of floods to enable people to take appropriate measures and shift to safer places. 2.2. Flood Mitigation Strategies: There are two different ways to mitigate floods: - 1. Structural 2. Non- Structural Structural measures are in the nature of physical measures and help in “modifying the floods”, while non- structural measures are in the nature of planning and help in “modifying the losses due to floods”. In the structural measures we keep the water away from people and in the non-structural measures to try to keep the people away from water . All of these works can be individually divided into long term and short-term measures.

3 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219

Structural Measures : a) Embankments: Embankments have been extensively used for protection against floods of important towns and lands. However, the embankments are now the best means of communication in the flood-prone areas and are being recklessly used for transportation of materials by tractors and other heavy vehicles. During floods, people shift to the embankments for temporary shelter and often settle down there for good. Thus, embankments and their slopes become permanent settlements to flood victims and their livestock. It messes up proper maintenance, and embankments become susceptible to breaches during floods. Whenever there are lapses in maintenance, the protected areas are exposed to serious flood hazards. b) Water Shed Management: Timely cleaning, de-silting and deepening of natural water reservoir and drainage channels (both urban and rural) must be taken up. c) Reservoirs: The entire natural water storage place should be cleaned on a regular basis. Encroachments on tanks and ponds or natural drainage channel needs to be removed well before the onset of monsoon. d) Natural water retention Basins: Construction and protection of all the flood protection embankments, ring bunds and other bunds. Dams and levees can also be constructed which can be used as temporarily storing space which reduces the chances of lower plains getting flooded. e) Buildings on elevated area: The buildings in flood prone areas should be constructed on an elevated area and if necessary on stilts and platform. However, complete flood control in terms of structural methods of flood protection are neither economically viable nor these are environment friendly. Therefore, non-structural methods are becoming popular in mitigating flood disaster.

Non Structural Measures : a) Flood Plain Zoning: Flood plain zoning, which places restrictions on the use of land on flood plains, can reduce the cost of flood damage. Local governments may pass laws that prevent uncontrolled building or development on flood plains to limit flood risks and to protect nearby property. Landowners in areas that adopt local ordinances or laws to limit development on flood plains can purchase flood insurance to help cover the cost of damage from floods. b) Flood Forecasting and warning: These are issued for different areas mostly by the Central water Commission/ Meteorological department and by the State Water Resource Department. However, an effective Warning System is one that can release warning in advance, i.e. 72hrs, 48hrs and 24hrs. It can change the existing scenario substantially and render informed decision making in adopting proper measures towards disaster preparedness, mitigation, control, planning and management. This kind of advance warning can help the authorities for better flood preparedness and also effective flood mitigation. Therefore, initiatives have to be taken to modernize the operation of Flood Forecasting & Warning as is covered under Flood Early Warning System (FLEWS) Project where flood sms alerts are given by North East Space Application Centre (NESAC), Govt.of , Shillong, Meghalaya with at least six to seven hours lead time.

2.3. Flood Preparedness:

4 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219

Floods, which are a natural hazard, need not become a disaster, if we are prepared and are aware of how to deal with them. This would reduce the losses of life and minimize human suffering. This guide lists simple things one can do to stay safe and protect one from floods. Before flooding occurs 1. Know the route to the nearest safe shelters that you area aware off. 2. Keep the First Aid Kit ready with extra medication for snake bite and diarrhea 3. Strong ropes for tying things 4. A radio, torch and spare batteries 5. Stocks of fresh water, dry food, candles, matchbox, kerosene etc 6. Umbrellas and bamboo sticks (to protect from snakes) 7. Higher ground where people and animals can take shelter When you hear a flood warning 1. Tune in to your radio or watch for warning and advice 2. Keep vigil of flood warning given by local authorities 3. Keep dry food and drinking water and warm clothes ready 4. Check your emergency kit If you need to evacuate 1. Pack clothing, essential medication, valuables, personal papers etc in water proof bags to be taken to the safe shelter. 2. Raise furniture, appliances on beds and tables 3. Put sandbags in the toilet bowl and cover all drain holes to prevent sewage back flow. 4. Do not get into water of unknown depth and current 5. Lock your house and take the recommended or known evacuation routes for your area of safe shelter. During Floods 1. Drink boiled water or use halogen tablet to purify water before drinking. 2. Keep your food covered 3. Do not let children remain on empty stomach 4. Use bleaching powder and lime to disinfect the surroundings 5. Avoid entering flood waters. If you need to enter then were proper foot wear. 6. Stay away from water over knee level. After a Flood 1. Stay tuned to local radio. 2. Do not allow children to play in, or near, flood waters. 3. Stay away from drains, culverts. 4. Do not use electrical appliances. 5. Do not eat food, which has been in floodwaters. 6. Boil tap water. 7. Use halogen tablets before drinking. 8. Be careful of snakebites, snakebites are common during floods. 2.4. Flood Preparedness Planning: Flood preparedness planning is about putting in place a set of appropriate arrangements in advance for an effective response to floods. Some of the commonly identified flood preparedness activities are: • Public awareness raising on flood preparedness, response and mitigation measures; • Stockpiling of emergency relief materials i.e., food, fodder for livestock, emergency medicines, materials for temporary shelter etc;

5 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219

• Installation of community-based early warning system for issuance of timely and effective flood warnings; • Management of safe areas for temporary removal of people and property from a threatened location; • Transportation to safe areas/ evacuation centre; • Ensuring access to health and sanitation facilities; • Conducting drills and rehearsals. The key to flood preparedness planning is to have a clarity and agreement on the roles and responsibilities of relevant stakeholders such as the government line agencies, disaster management organizations, Red Cross, voluntary groups as well as community members. Such an arrangement is possible by forming disaster management committee and teams at various levels to agree on set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) defining what actions to be taken before, during and after floods. The benefits of the flood preparedness planning are many and some of them are listed: • Systematic arrangement and deployment of resources to reduce the impact of flood disaster; • Vulnerable communities to get access to crucial information, such as timely flood forecasts and warnings; • The provision of basic needs, such as shelter and medical care, clean water, sanitation and food during floods; • Continued access to livelihoods, in order to minimize disruption of economic activities; • Effective coordination among disaster management agencies to ensure efficient emergency response during floods; • Urgent restoration of critical infrastructure and measures to be taken to bring normalcy immediately after the floods.

CHAPTER-VI

RISK ASSESSMENT AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

6.1. Ranking of Flood Episodes in the District: Based on the previous disasters experienced by the district in the past, probability of flood ranks first. Accordingly the occurrence of other disasters such as cyclone, fire accident, drought, epidemic and earthquake rank as orderly mentioned.

Disastrous Event Year of Occurrences

Flood 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 (Major), 2005, 2008,2011,2012

6.2 Flood Affected Areas in the District: The Northern Region: Herein flood occurs on account of over-spilling of the waters of [in west to east order] Tihu River, Mora Pagladia River, Kanaikhunda Jan Stream, Jarinadi Stream, Buradia River, Pavanoi Stream, Chengnoi Stream, Pagladia River, Ghagra stream, Nona River, Borolia River and other minor streams in between; as well as in case of breach in the protecting embankments on their banks. All these rivers/ streams are tributaries/ sub- tributaries of , emanating from Bhutan in the North. Hence, occurrence of flood herein is dependent on the rainfall in Bhutan, and on the strength of the protecting embankments. It covers the villages of the Nalbari District parts of Northern Tihu [Namati Mauza] & Barama Circles, Banekuchi Circle, Northern Nalbari Circle (Batahgila Mauza & the part of Khata Mauza north of NH–31] and Ghograpar Circle. The Western Region: Herein flood occurs on account of over-spilling of the waters of Tihu River, Mora Pagladia River, Buradia River, Nadla Channel and other minor streams and channels in between; as well as in case of breach in the protecting embankments on their banks. All these rivers/ streams are tributaries/ sub-tributaries of Brahmaputra River, emanating from Bhutan in the North. Hence, occurrence of flood herein is dependent on the rainfall in Bhutan, and on the strength of the protecting embankments. It covers the villages of Southern Tihu Circle [Tihu & Nambarbhag Mauzas] and Paschim Nalbari Circle. The Central Region: Herein flood occurs in case of water logging of rainwaters, besides overflowing of the various minor streams and channels dotting the region; and also on account of backward water-flow from the main Brahmaputra River. Therefore, occurrence of flood herein is dependent on heavy rainfall in the region itself as well as in the upper reaches of Brahmaputra River and its tributaries from the North. It covers the villages of the Southern Nalbari Circle (Bahjani Mauza & the part of Khata Mauza south of NH–31] and Western Barbhag Circle [west of Pagladia River]. The Eastern Region: Herein flood occurs on account of over-spilling of the waters of [in west to east order] Pagladia River, Sathajan Stream, Borolia River [Southern Channel], Ghagra stream, Nona River, Borolia River [Eastern Channel] and other minor streams and channels in between; as well as in case of breach in the protecting embankments on their banks. All these rivers/ streams are tributaries/ sub-tributaries of Brahmaputra River, emanating from Bhutan in the North. Hence, occurrence of flood herein is dependent on the rainfall in Bhutan, and on the strength of the protecting embankments. These places are also among the lowest areas in the District. Therefore, flood in almost a certainty in this region. It covers the villages of Eastern Barbhag Circle [east of Pagladia River]. 18 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219

The Southern Region : Herein flood occurs directly on account of the over spilling of Brahmaputra waters; as well as by the over spilling of waters of Pagladia (confluence part ), Borolia ( Bhoiratola channel ) and Mora Chawlkhowa Rivers, all tributaries of Brahmaputra River emanating from Bhutan in the North. Therefore, the occurrence of flood herein, although dependent on heavy rainfall in Bhutan as well as in the upper reaches of Brahmaputra River, is almost a certainty in this region as well. It covers the villages of the Barkhetri Circle.

6.3 Flood Prone Villages in the District: The list of Circle-wise flood prone villages has been given in Annexure-IV. 6.4 Embankments likely to be breached: If the protecting embankments are breached or overtopped by rising waters in the rivers/ streams concerned; flash flood occur leaving the affected people very little time to escape. The vulnerable stretches of the various embankments in Nalbari District have been identified by the Water Resources Department (Nalbari Division) as follows:

The Water Level data would be obtained from gauges installed at specific points in the rivers concerned. Crossing the Warning Level implies the probability of floods in the near future; while surpassing the Danger Level signifies actual occurrence of floods. 23 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219

Action : The Water Resources Dept. (Nalbari Division) is to the Water Level data obtained from installed gauges [ along with the Warning/ Danger Level marks; and the information whether the present levels concerned are rising/ falling/ remaining steady ], by WT message on a daily basis without fail to the Deputy Commissioner (Nalbari), District Emergency Operation Centre, and all the Circle Officers of the District

24 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219

5. Monitoring of Water Level of tributaries of Brahmaputra in their Upper Reaches: The flood-creating tributaries of Brahmaputra viz. Tihu, Mora Pagladia, Buradia, Pagladia, Ghogra, Nona, Borolia Rivers and a few minor streams, all emanate from Bhutan in the North; and flow through Baska District before entering Nalbari District. E.g. Pagladia River is formed by joining of Darranga and Kala Rivers with the main Pagladia River; Ghagra River starts out as Matanga River; Nona River starts out as Suklai River; and Borolia River starts out as Balti River ( all within Tamulpur Circle of Baska District ). If it rains in Bhutan ( which can be easily observed from the border villages of Baska District ) or/ and there is excessive flow in the rivers/ streams of Baska (Sadar) and Tamulpur Sub-Divisions of Baska District; floods in Nalbari District can be expected within 4 hours ( in the Northern portion ) to 36 hours (in the Southern portion ). That would give ample time to evacuate people and make other preparations for the floods. Action : When (1) the villages of Baska District bordering Bhutan observe heavy rainfall in the hills of Bhutan, or/ and (2) the villages of Baska District through which the rivers/ streams passes, the observation of excessive water-flow and significantly higher water- level in such rivers/ streams; the gaonburhas concerned along with members of helpful NGOS of Baska District [ viz. Lok Sewa Samiti & Dighali Gaon Unnayan Samiti ] would immediately pass on the information to the District Emergency Operation Centre & the Circle Officers of Nalbari District; either directly (whenever possible) or through the thanas [Police Station/ Outpost] concerned.

7.5. Waterways: The Waterways that can be used during floods to run Motorboats and Country-boats are as follows: 1. Brahmaputra River; 2. Pagladia River; 3. Borolia River; 4. Borolia [ southern channel ]; 5. Nona River; 6. Ghogra River. 7. Chawlkhowa River; 8. Chengnoi River; 9. Pavanoi River. 10. Mora Pagladia River; 11. Nadla Channel; 12. Tihu River; and several other streams and channels. Moreover, if any of the expected motorable roads gets cut off during high floods, Relief Supplies are to be ferried by machine/ country boats.

7.6 A) Community Based Organizations: During emergency necessary help would be mobilized from various organizations like Namghar Samittee, Masjid Committee, Youth club, Village Development Community and such other institution existed in the locality. B) Women’s Organizations: There are a number of Mahila Sammittees in the District, whose help would be invaluable in reaching out to the affected female population during floods. C) Students’ Organizations: The major student organizations whose units are present in the District are (1) All Assam Students’ Union [AASU]; (2) Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad [AJYCP]; (3) National Students Union of India [NSUI]; (4) All Bodo Students’ Union [ABSU]; (5) All Assam Minorities Students’ Union [AAMSU] and (6) Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad [ABVP]. These student organisations can provide volunteers for the Disaster Management Task Forces at the village-level. 25 District Emergency Operation Centre, Nalbari. Ph: 03624-220219
