  • Chengalpattu District
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.
