 To strengthen institutional arrangements in the district by identifying roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders,  To facilitate enhanced level of preparedness of different stakeholders and develop their capacities, preparation and implementation of action plan for disaster risk mitigation, strengthen mechanism for early warning, response & relief, guide rehabilitation & recovery and facilitate mechanism for monitoring, evaluation, revision and updation.  To clarifying Authority, Responsibility and Relationships:- Clarifying as to who is responsible for ensuring that the work gets done, distributing and decision making authority among the team members and the existing organizational units, and establishing formal lines of communication.  Obtaining Resources: - Obtaining funds, personnel, supplies and equipment necessary for doing the required activities.  Establishing the Control System:- Determining the nature of information, which is necessary for carrying out activities, identifying sources of such information and setting up reporting systems for Disaster Management  Monitoring, Evaluation and Updation: - The plan needs to be monitored from time to time and updated.

The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) is the guide for achieving the objective related to disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This Plan will help in disaster response in a planned way to minimize human, property and environmental loss.

1.2 Authority for DDMP: Disaster Management Act 2005 (DM Act)

Initially Disaster Management was under the Ministry of Agriculture but after Disaster Management Act 2005 was formed disaster management came under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), with an objective for overall management of disasters which includes pre, during and post disaster management. The act envisaged the creation of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) headed by the Prime Minister, State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMA) headed by the Chief Ministers, and District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMA) headed by the District Magistrates or Deputy Commissioners as the case may be, to spearhead and adopt a holistic and integrated approach to disaster management (DM). In this context along with the National Disaster Management Authority every state and district should have their own respective State and District Disaster Management Plans. The State of Himachal Pradesh formed SDMA and DDMA on 1.6.2007 and these authorities were to bring about a qualitative change in dealing with multi -hazard disasters within the State like earthquakes, landslides, floods, avalanche, etc.

As per Section 31 (1) of the Disaster Management Act 2005 – „There shall be a plan for disaster management for every district of the State‟. This is to be prepared by the District Authority after consultation with the local authorities and having regards to the National and State Plan to be approved by the State Authority [Section 31 (2)]

Section 31 (3) of the act states that the District Plan shall include – a) The areas in the district vulnerable to different forms of disasters; b) The measures to be taken, for prevention and mitigation of disaster, by the Departments of the Government at the district level and local authorities in the district;

DDMP Kullu Page 2

c) The capacity-building and preparedness measures required to be taken by the Departments of the Government at the district level and the local authorities in the district to respond to any threatening disaster situation or disaster; d) The response plans and procedures, in the event of a disaster, providing for – i. Allocation of responsibilities to the Departments of the Government at the district level and the local authorities in the district; ii. Prompt response to disaster and relief thereof; iii. Procurement of essential resources; iv. Establishment of communication links; and v. The dissemination of information to the public; e) Such by the State other matters as may be required Authority Preparation of the District Disaster Management Plan is thus the sole responsibility of the District Disaster Management Authority Kullu under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner Kullu.

1.3 Evolution of DDMP in Brief

„District Plan‟ means the plan for disaster management for the district prepared under section 31 of the DM Act 2005. The first plan for the district was prepared in 2011 which was revised and updated in 2014 and this is the third revised district plan of district Kullu. The present plan has been prepared keeping in view both the highlights and shortcomings of the previous plans for making it more practical with its feasibility of being implemented and executed. Steps involved in development of the plan is based on analysis of previous data with latest census and departmental information; reference of national, state and district level literature and documents and websites; preparing and using schematic maps and GIS data; consultation with stakeholders for data verification and documentation. The data from various programmes conducted at the district, sub district and Panchayat levels under GoI –UNDP related to DM projects, trainings, orientation and workshops for the Stakeholding departments, NGO‟s, CBO‟s, etc. with regards to capacity building have also been used as information and data for the preparation of DDMP Kullu. This plan has been prepared on the lines of NDMA‟s District Disaster Management Plan template to avoid missing the important components of the DDMP.

1.4 Stakeholders and their responsibilities

The Stakeholders are required to follow the disaster management plan of the district as laid out on the lines of DM Act 2005 where every government office of the district along with the local authorities those come under the District Authority supervision. They are to follow the various measures related to all three phases of Disaster Management-pre, during and post, as referred to in the Disaster Management Plan. Various stakeholders are to coordinate and implement their departmental disaster plans with that of the other organizations and institutions within the district along with reviewing and updating their plans on regular annual base. The revised and updated Stakeholding departmental plans are to be submitted to the district authorities, including any amendments as and when done.

Some of the prominent hazards that affect the district are discussed below:

2.2.1. Earthquake Earthquakes, quite devastating and sudden in nature, are one of the most common types of disasters that hit the state of Himachal Pradesh. Lying in the sensitive Himalayan belt, at the juncture of two active tectonic plates, the region is prone to severe seismic activity. The district of Kullu falls in the highest seismic zone i.e. Zone V and is prone to disastrous earthquakes. The movement of large blocks along the thrust planes resulting in the release of stored energy is the basic cause of earthquakes in this region. According to the seismic zoning map of the state 53.1 % area of Kullu is liable to the severest designed Intensity of MSK IX or more. Table 4 depicts seismic intensity of district Kullu and figure 3 below illustrates the seismic prone area of the district.

2.2.2. Landslide: - Landslides are the downslide movement of soil, debris or rocks, resulting from natural cause, vibrations, overburden of rock material, removal of lateral supports, and change in the water content of rock or soil bodies, blocked drainages etc. The mass movement varies in magnitude from soil creep

DDMP Kullu Page 16

to landslides. Solifluction (form of creep in which snow or water saturated rocks move down slope) is another type of mass movement that is common on the higher snow covered ranges. They often take place in conjunction with earthquakes, floods and volcanoes. At times, prolonged rainfall blocks the flow of river and cause havoc. In the hilly terrain of Himalayas, landslides have been a major and widely spread natural disaster and often affect life and property and occupy a position of major concern. Looking in to the past history of landslides (Table 6) within Kullu has brought forth that large part of its territory is prone to hazard of landslides (Fig. 3) especially during the rainfall and snowfall months of the year.

2.2.3 Floods:- Flash floods are short lived extreme events, which usually occur under slowly moving or stationary thunderstorms, lasting less than 24 hours. As a result of the high velocity of the current which can wash away all obstacles in its way, this phenomenon has resulted in enormous loss of life and property in various parts of the region. Glacial melting due to global warming is another major cause of flash floods as the major glaciers in the higher hill tops are receding at an alarming rate due to natural anthropogenic reasons. Heavy rains and floods cause damages to cultivated land of the farmers and wash away the bridges, human beings and cattle heads. The Hotspots of flood prone areas within Kullu District (fig 4) are: 1. Anni Sub-division are Luhari, Gugra, Kamand, Anni, Karana and Logati; 2. Banjar Sub-division are Gushaini, Bathahed, Jibhi and Manglore; 3. Manali Sub-division are Anjan Mahadev, Dhundi, Pagal Nalla, Solang, Bhahang, 15 mile and Patli kuhl

2.2.4. Cloud Burst:- A cloudburst is an extreme amount of precipitation, sometimes accompanied with hail and thunder, which normally lasts no longer than a few minutes but is capable of creating flood conditions. It is one of the common disasters in the district which is largely responsible for flash floods. The Hotspot areas within District are lying in Manali sub-division, namely around Gulaba, Solang, Prini and Vashisht. The past history is depicted in table 8 above.

2.2.5. Snow Avalanches:- Avalanches are caused when the balance is lost and snow cover on a slope tends to slide down because of gravity when the forces exceed the resistance. Avalanches are rarely observed closely since they normally occur during a short time period of one or two minutes. Major causes of avalanches can be classified into fixed (prime factors) and variable factors (exciting factors), such as weather conditions and the weight of the snow cover. The types and scale of avalanches can differ depending on the combination of the various factors and their scale. They are common in elevations of more than 3500 m on slopes of 30o-45°.Convex slope covered with grass are more prone to avalanches causing great damage to life and property. The villages at high altitudes and army and para-military camps are frequently hit by this form of natural calamity. Table 9 shows avalanche accidents in Kullu.

The scale of damage can differ depending on the scale and type of avalanche leading to Traffic blockades due to snow deposition on road surface; roads damaged by avalanches, road structures, such as retaining walls, overturned. However, structures damaged by an avalanche during construction of roads occur most frequently.

2.2.6 Fire The most common hazard regards to fire within District Kullu pertains to forest and domestic fires.

2.2.6.1 Forest Fires: - Forest fires pose a great threat during summer, not only to the forest wealth but also to the entire regime of fauna and flora, seriously disturbing the bio-diversity and the ecology and environment of a region. Approximately 90 % of the forest fires are human-induced, intentional or unintentional due to the negligence and poor knowledge of the people. Collection of forest produce, shifting cultivation, throwing mouldering bidis, cooking food in the forest etc. are the basic anthropogenic causes that ignite forest fires

DDMP Kullu Page 21

Figure 8: Forest Fire Hazard Risk Map District Kullu

2.2.6.2 Domestic Fires:-

Most of the building structures within Kullu District are traditional houses, castles, museums etc. built with “kath-kuni” architectural style. Timber is the major constructional material and such structures are quite prone to fire incidents in the district especially during the winter months due to storage of fodder and wood. Due to houses being constructed close to each other, spark in one house can prove dangerous to other villagers. Many villages in the district have no road connectivity while others are linked with narrow roads that are incapable of accommodating large fire tenders. Hotspots for fire in Kullu District are Sidhwa, Bashir, Mohini, Channaun, Chaddiyar, Chipani, Pharyari, Shrikot, Garuli, Gehra, Goshala, Jamad and other villages of Banjar. The recent time fire incidence at Banjar highlighted the need for fire station at Banjar for the nearest fire service is at a distance of about two hours. Some villages are at a distance of about 100 km from Kullu, which for fire tenders to reach will take even more time.

2.2.7 Drought The slowest of all hazards and that can be reverted with various measures. Moisture retention and drought proofing to mitigate, preparing contingency plans and operationalization are some measures against droughts. It can lead to shortage of water, loss to agriculture, and horticulture crops, power generation. Recently due to lack of rainfall within District Kullu a drought like condition is being created.

2.2.8 Road Accidents The high frequency of vehicles, congested roads, reckless driving and lack of safety measures, over speeding, unplanned construction with narrow roads are some of the major factors behind road accidents within Kullu district. The matrix of past road accidents within district are shown below:

Table 13: Past Road Accident within Kullu District S. No. Date Area Losses

1. 23rd July, 2015 Kullu 1 Private Bus with total 69 peoples (46 kill & 23 injured) & total damage worth 1.62 Crore.

Hotspots for the Road Accidents within District Kullu have been attached at Annexure I

2.2.9 Stampede:- Kullu district is famous for its temples, festivals and fairs. Kullu has number of temples viz Raghunath Temple, Shringi Rishi Temple (Banjar), Maha Devi Tirth Temple, Bijli Mahadev, Devta Narsingh, Hidimba temple etc. visited by thousands of pilgrims. The International Kullu Dusshera is visited by thousands of tourists. The department of police and Home Guards are assigned with the task of managing the rush as per ESF with external help of ITBP Babeli and SSB Shamshi if required.

2.2.10. Chemical or Biological Hazard: - There is an IOC depot stationed at Mohal, Kullu having large storage capacity for supplying oil to districts of Kullu and Lahaul and Spiti, along with number of petrol pumps in the district. All are vulnerable destinations as they mostly lie in populated areas. With incidents of oil spillage due to accident in the past this makes the surrounding population vulnerable, in case timely steps are not under taken.

2.2.11. Wind Storm: - “A storm with high winds or violent gusts but little or no rain” is defined as wind storm. During winter season Kullu district is prone to wind storms leading to destruction of lives and properties. District Kullu is not much affected by high speed winds, except during snowfall in areas of Manali and Anni

2.3 Climate change and its impact on different aspects in Kullu district

Kullu district is environmentally most fragile with large scale human activity due to tourism, power projects and vehicular movements. Unpredictable period of rains and rising temperature are indicative of the temperature rising in Kullu district. In the Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh it has been reported that the rainfall has decreased by about 7cm, snowfall by about 12 cm, but the mean minimum and maximum temperatures have increased by 0.25-1 degree Celsius while massive glacial retreats at the rate of 178 m/ year in Parbati Glacier of Kullu district has been observed during 1962 to 2000. These observations, irrespective of the differences in the retreat of glaciers, suggest that global warming and climate change has affected snow-glaciers melt and runoff pattern in the Himalayas, along with effects on agriculture, tourism, economic loss to people in Kullu district (Annexures II)

2.4 Vulnerability Analysis

2.4.1 Physical vulnerability: - Disasters are the realization of risk and often occur at specific sites (i.e. hazard sites). Table 14 depicts Earthquake Intensity and Building Types in Kullu district. Lot of wooden material is being used in the built structures which are again highly prone to fire hazards. Construction activities associated with Hydro Power projects also affect the fragile ecology of the state. The built-up land use/cover includes not only urban infrastructure within towns and cities, but also individual dwellings, roads linking settlements, and other human-built structures. The removal of a forest cover from a steep slope often leads to accelerated surface erosion and dramatically increases the chances for landslides as well as runoff. The Main market areas of all the sub divisional headquarters are highly crowded with narrow winding roads making them most vulnerable to hazards like earthquakes, fire and road accidents. The inaccessible narrow roads to the remote areas of the district Kullu are also source of the village vulnerability as the fire tenders and ambulances cannot reach these far flung areas when an incidence like fire takes place. Cutting along mountain slopes for widening and formation of Four Lane of the NH 21 makes the area along these belts vulnerable for the h

Housing Vulnerability: -Table 15 & 16 shows the district-wise residential houses and distribution of houses by predominant materials of roof and wall and level of damage risk respectively. The tables clearly show that 69.5 % houses falls under Category A, which cannot withstand the vagaries of Disasters like earthquakes. Rural wooden structures are particularly prone to fire hazards in the district. House Structures falling in Category B comprise of 10.1% while 9.1% structures comprising of Category C, are reinforced and well-built wooden structures and only 1.4% category X are made of light material and can be considered safe construction.

2.4.2. Socio-Economic Vulnerability: - As per the demographic and socio- economic data of district Kullu the local people within district are quite vulnerable towards natural disasters in the district. Large proportions of socially weak groups are generally located in disaster prone areas. The primary causative factor in the increased risk is in growth of tourist demand and intensification and diversification of commercial agriculture. Research reveals that women and children suffer immensely from the hazardous impacts of disasters, severe weather events, and climate change because of cultural norms and the inequitable distribution of roles, resources, and power. District Kullu also has Nomadic Herders namely the Gaddi’s and the Gujjars which are equally vulnerable to the vigour’s of disasters.

DDMP Kullu Page 27

Table 17 shows Social Vulnerability of Kullu district. Table 18, 19 and 20 shows different aspects of social vulnerability in the district i.e. physically challenged people, pensioners and unemployed registered people in the district. The District has undergone significant land use/cover change and intensification with regards to construction. The unchecked expansion of built-up areas into geomorphologically active regions of river flood plain, unstable slope and debris flow has been accelerating and is a major cause of concern.

Overall Vulnerability of the District: District Kullu is prone to multiple disasters and the overall vulnerability of the district has been stated to be very high. The main connectivity of Kullu district with rest of the state is through NH-21 In case of any disaster, if communication through this highway is disrupted then major population of the district will be susceptible to natural wrath. There are a 8 Major and 42 minor Hydro Power Projects in the district almost on all major Nallas, Streams and also the run of river projects which further adds to the vulnerability and risk life and infrastructure. Kullu valley being paradise for adventure sports viz River Rafting, Mountaineering, and Skiing is also course for concern due to its fragile topography and changing climatical scenario which leads to number of miss-happening’s every year in the valley. Most of the people in district Kullu live in villages and are dependent on collection of herbs and other medicinal plants from nearby forest which exist on steep slopes. There has been an adverse impact on the population in terms of economic loss and are being severely affected by climate change. Tables 23 and 24 shows matrix related to hazard vulnerability of Kullu district and matrix for the four sub divisions of the districts with regards to disaster vulnerability.

personnel’s. Both are situated next to Kullu city. There also exists an Army Post at Palchan in Manali Sub- Division. All the Military and Para-Military establishments are handy and have proven their worth in the recent calamities.

2.5.8. CBOs and NGOs: The numbers of volunteers that have undergone training within the district for disaster management are across the community comprising of NYKS, NCC, Red Cross, Sports, school students and teachers within the sub divisions. The registered number of NGO’s within the district are 59 (Annexure III) An IAG has been framed within the District in February 2015 with five core member committee, comprising of 14 NGO’s and 3 Go officials.

2.5.9. Air Landing Sites/ Helipads: Landing sites are of immense help at the time of a disaster especially for the mountainous regions like Kullu where the only connectivity within and outside the district is by road. However, the non-availability of re-fuelling facility in the area may hinder the smooth functioning of air relief operations. The list of airway landing sites is given below:

2.6 Important Gaps in Existing Capacity to Deal with Disasters

The Capacity gaps were analysed and some of them are mentioned below:

 Connectivity and terrain of the district.  Lack of specialised SAR equipment and capabilities with the district and local authorities.  Communication–land and mobile based communication only existing.  Lack of trained disaster management workforce in police and other departments  Lack of awareness at all levels–government functionaries, elected representatives and the general public regarding Disaster Management.  Lack of clarity of roles and responsibilities of various departments and stakeholders regarding disasters.  DRR not integrated into developmental planning and programmes.  Hospital and schools at local level not prepared to deal with disasters.

DDMP Kullu Page 33

2.7 Profile Winter Season District Kullu 2017

Winter season within District Kullu from January to March 2017 was quiet good. Heavy snowfall occurred during the three months in the higher ranges of the Pir Panjal Range. First heavy snowfall took place on 6th January 2017, amounting to about 35 cm (1.15 feet) which even covered a blanket of snow over the Valley of Kullu as well. Rohtang Pass and Jalori Pass got closed due to heavy snow, Jolari pass, however, got open shortly due to clearance of snow from the road but Rohtang Pass still remains closed till beginning of May due to repeated snowfall over the months. The Sub Divisional Magistrates, along with various Stakeholding departments like PWD, I&PH, Electricity, BRO, etc. were provided directions by the Deputy Commissioner –cum – Chairman of DDMA Kullu, before the onset of winters for all necessary arrangements to be made and to amend the required facilities within the month of December. JCB’s of various institutions were positioned at critical roads which require immediate clearance from snow, for easy access of movement of vehicles. Transport authorities and Tourism department were directed not to ply their vehicles beyond certain areas in case of heavy snowfall. Electricity and Irrigation Departments were asked to make their necessary arrangements in case of breakdown of lines. Police Department were directed to prevent the tourist and their vehicles from plying into the snowbound areas in case of warnings of heavy snowfall and avalanches during the winter season. All other departments like Education, Health, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, etc. were also asked to be prepared. However, there were no major damage or loss to life and property during the winter months but certain roads and minor irrigation schemes got affected due to snowfall and fall in temperature, which lead to closing of roads for some time and busting of water pipelines and sewage lines. While there was no human loss due to snowfall and cold wave within District Kullu, there were few Kuccha houses that were damaged, a Government school building which was affected, three cowsheds and a few electrical lines were affected. Details are in Annexure XIV.

3.3.5. Incident Response System in District Kullu 3.3.5.1. Incident Response System (IRS)

The IRS organisation functions through Incident Response Teams (IRTs) in the field. In line with our administrative structure and DM Act 2005, Responsible Officers (ROs) have been designated at the State and District level as overall in charge of the incident response management. The RO may however delegate responsibilities to the Incident Commander (IC), who in turn will manage the incident through IRTs. The IRTs will be pre-designated at all levels; State, District, Sub-Division and Tehsil/Block. On receipt of Early Warning, the RO will activate them. In case a disaster occurs without any warning, the local IRT will respond and contact RO for further support, if required. A Nodal Officer (NO) has to be designated for proper coordination between the District, State and National level in activating air support for response. Apart from the RO and Nodal Officer (NO), the IRS has two main components; a) Command Staff and b) General Staff. The state is yet to notify and implement IRS. IRS Structure flow chart for District level is given in figure 15 where Deputy Commissioner, the Responsible Officer, works through Incident Commanders and Incident Response Teams, with prime function of assisting the deputy commissioner or in handling tasks like general co-ordination, distribution of relief materials, media management and the overall logistics. Suitable officers from the district administration will be carefully selected and professionally trained for the different IRS positions in order to constitute the District Level IRT’s(Annexure VII) It is a flexible system and all the Sections, Branches and Units need not be activated at the same time as and when required. It also includes proper documentation of various activities for better planning, accountability and analysis which also helps new/ outside responders to immediately get a comprehensive picture of the situation and go in for immediate action.

DDMP Kullu Page 47

Fig14: The IRT Framework

The Responsible Officers for the IRS at the district level will be Deputy Commissioner, at Sub-Division level will be Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil), at the Tehsil (where Tehsil and Sub- Division is not co-terminus) will be by the Tehsildar, and at the MC level will be the Chairman of the ULB and at the Panchayat level it will be the Panchayat Pradhan. The Officers/Officials of various departments would be provided the ESF at the appropriate level.

3.3.6. District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC) In line with the national emergency communication plan and national disaster management information and communication system, emergency operation centers (EOCs) would be set-up at the district level. The EOCs would have fail-safe communication network with multiple levels of built-in redundancy having communication to ensure voice, data and video transfer. For last mile connectivity and control of the operations at the disaster hit areas, availability of portable platforms will be catered for. Use of community radios, FMC channels, bulk SMS system and voice messaging system would be made for the last mile connectivity. Keeping with the disasters a Control room is set up at the district headquarters Kullu in the complex of Deputy Commissioner Office, for day to day monitoring of incidences of disasters within the district along with search and rescue and relief operations in the wake of a disaster It is established on 24x7 basis for operationalizing the contingency plan and for keeping a close liaison with the state headquarters, departments within districts, NGO’s, and other agencies dealing with disaster management and relief. DEOC will assist the commissioner in performing the roles assigned to him by DDMA like:  Monitoring, coordinating and implementing the actions for disaster management

DDMP Kullu Page 49

 Transmitting and receiving information about the development of the crisis on a continuous basis to State Relief Commissioner and appropriate agencies for immediate action  Collection and submission of information related to implementation of relief measures to the State Relief Commissioner  Ensure that all warning, communication systems and instruments are in working conditions  Maintain a web-based inventory of all resources through the India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN)  Provide information to the Relief Commissioner’ Office of the disaster/ emergencies /accidents taking place in the district regularly and maintain a data base of disasters and losses caused by them  Providing information at district level, local level and to disaster prone areas through appropriate media  Maintain a data base of trained personnel and volunteers who could be contacted at any time  Lease with on-site operation centre, State EOC and other emergency services.

The Additional District Magistrate/ Additional Deputy Commissioner shall be the Nodal Officer for Disaster Management and would be in-charge of the DEOC. The design, layout, equipment and operation of the DEOC would be as per the EOC Manual prepared at the State level.

CHAPTER: 4 PREVENTION AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Introduction

Mitigation referred as the „cornerstone‟ of Disaster Management has the „Mantra‟ of „prevention is better than cure‟ directed towards preventing the hazards from developing into disaster, by reducing the effects of disasters when they occur. It is defined as any sustainable effort undertaken to reduce a hazard risk through the reduction of its likelihood of reoccurring. The main elements of mitigation programme include risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, public awareness, training, forecasting and warning, insurance, applied research and technology transfer. Mitigation efforts tend to be costly, disruptive, time- consuming and some time may be socially unpalatable. The goals of mitigation refer to Risk likelihood Reduction, Risk Consequences Reduction, Risk Avoidance, Risk Acceptance, and Risk Transfer or Sharing. In the previous chapters the multi –hazard nature with their risk and vulnerability has already been discussed for District Kullu based on which the prevention and mitigation measures need to be formed.

The Legal Context for Prevention and Mitigation

The DM Act mandates the DDMA to “lay down guidelines to be followed by the departments of the Government of the State for the purposes of integration of measures for prevention of disasters and mitigation in their development plans and projects and provide necessary technical assistance therefore” and to “review the development plans of the different departments of the State and ensure that prevention and mitigation measures are integrated therein”. Under Section38 (2) (e) of the Act the State Government is to ensure that the integration of measures for prevention of disaster or mitigation have been incorporated by the departments of the Government of the State in their development plans and projects. The State Government is further to ensure integration of measures to reduce or mitigate the vulnerability of different parts of the State to different disasters in the state development plan {38(2) (f}. The Act also prescribes for preparation of District Plan and for incorporation of measures suggesting as to how mitigation shall be integrated into development plans and projects. The Act states that the DMPs shall prescribe “the manner in which the mitigation measures shall be integrated with the development plans and projects”. The DMPs of departments at State and district level shall also have provisions for prevention of disaster and mitigation of its effects or both in the development plans and programmes as provided for in the State DMP and as is assigned to the department or agency concerned.

The aim of mitigation strategy is to reduce the losses in the event of a future occurrence of a hazard turning into a disaster. In view of the perceived risk and the vulnerabilities within the District, the mitigation measures can be purposed into seven major groups:

1. Risk assessment. 4. Land use planning and regulations 5. Training and capacity building. 2. Construction 6. Resources for mitigation6. Resources for mitigation 3. Repair and maintenance. 7. Research and Technology7. Research used. and Technology used.

DDMP Kullu Page 51

. Keeping in view the hazard and vulnerability profile of District Kullu, the two types of approaches in disaster mitigation that can be taken to mitigate the impacts of various hazards are structural and non-structural mitigation measures.

1. Structural mitigation refers to any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards, which include engineering measures and construction of hazard-resistant and protective structures and infrastructure like building codes, retrofitting of buildings, lifelines and infrastructure to withstand any hazard, relocation etc.

2. Nonstructural mitigation refers to measures that emphasis on policies, regulatory measures, knowledge development, land-use planning programmes for sustaining awareness, dissemination of information material on do‟s and don‟ts, behavioral modification etc.

Mitigation efforts are also undertaken at the personal levels by involving assessment of possible risks to personal / family health and property. Thus, adverse effects of disasters can be minimized if mitigation policies, plans, and projects undertaken are implemented with risk perception and strong political will.

4.1.1. Different Hazards and their Mitigation Measures for District Kullu

4.2 Prevention Measures

The prevention measures on going and proposed for preventing the disasters for the vulnerable groups within Kullu District area:

4.2.1. Special / Specific Projects on going for preventing and mitigation of disasters existing within District Kullu

1. “Building Resilience of Rural Communities through Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction in Selected Villages of Anni Subdivision, Kullu District”.

Under the GoI- UNDP Project, the Department of Revenue, Disaster Management Cell, Government of Himachal Pradesh/ Ministry of Home Affairs/ UNDP India has initiated a Pilot Project in 50 Villages of Anni Subdivision of District Kullu with the overall objective of the project to build the capacity of community to cope with disasters. The project specific activities proposed to be undertaken are:

DDMP Kullu Page 57

 Communtiy Based Disaster Management Planning at Gram Panchayat/ Village Level.  Identification of potential Flash floods / Floods & landslide sites in the vicinity of villages and build capacity of villagers in mitigating landslide & Flashflood/Flood events.  Strengthen mechanism of communty level early warning for flood, flash flood, Landslide etc.  Constitution and training of Task forces on First Aid, Search, Rescue & Evacuation and Relief operations at Gram Panchayat level.  Training of Local masons on hazard resistant construction practices.  Community Awareness Programmes on structural and non structural safety measures through various IEC techniques including folk.  Training and Capacity Building of Village Disaster Management Committees, local government functionaries, elected representatives and community members on risk reduction practices.

The project is being implemented in selected villages of Anni Subdivision affected by floods/Flash Floods, Landslides and erosion on a regular basis.

2. Proposed - at the district level project on retrofitting of Buildings/ school within District Kullu under the Techno- legal framework.

4.3 Mainstreaming DRR into developmental plans and programs

Mainstreaming has three purposes:-

 To make certain that all the development programmes and projects that originate from or funded by Government are designated with evident consideration for potential disaster risks to resist hazard impact.  To make certain that all the development programmes and projects that originate from or are funded by Government do not in advertently increase vulnerability to disaster in all sectors: social, physical, economic and environment.  To make certain that all the disaster relief and rehabilitation programmes and projects that originate or are funded by Government are designed to contribute to development aims and to reduce future disaster risk.

4.3.1. Mainstreaming DRR into Development Sectors and Approaches „Mainstreaming DRR‟ describes a process to fully incorporate the concerns of disaster preparedness, prevention and mitigation into development and post disaster recovery policy and practice. It means completely institutionalizing DRR within the development and recovery agenda. Accordingly, the following broad objectives of mainstreaming DRR into Development will be encouraged:  On-going schemes and projects of the Ministries and Departments of GoI and State Governments, as well as of all Government agencies and Institutions, including Public Sector Undertakings, will be selectively audited by designated government agencies for ensuring that they have addressed the disaster risk and vulnerability profiles of the local areas where such schemes and activities are being undertaken.  At conceptualization or funding stage itself, the developments schemes will be designed with consideration of any potential hazardous impact associated with it and incorporate measures for mitigation of the same.

DDMP Kullu Page 58

 All the development schemes will be pragmatic, incorporating the awareness of local disaster risk and vulnerability, and ensuring that the schemes have addressed these concerns and included specific provisions for mitigating such disaster concerns; and  DDMAs will ensure that all the disaster relief and recovery programmes and projects that originate from or are funded by any agency satisfy developmental aims and reduce future disaster risks.

4.3.2. Approaches for Mainstreaming There are three suggested approaches of mainstreaming disaster management into the development process and disaster management plans- 1. Structural Measures 2. Non Structural Measures 3. Disaster Mitigation Projects

Based on the suggested approaches the specification would involve:- a. Adopting a Sectoral approach and identification of Key sectors for mainstreaming. b. Within each sector, key programmes /projects would have to be identified. c. This has to be followed by identifying the entry points within the programmes / projects for integration. d. It would also involve work at the policy and planning level be it national, state and district level. e. It would also need a close coordination with State Planning Commission and Finance Department for promoting DRR into all development programmes and involve working with different departments to mainstream DRR into the Departmental Plans and policies. f. Advocacy would have to be done for allocation of dedicated budget for DRR within the Departmental plans. g. Further appropriate guidelines for different sectors would have to be development and for it to be effective and sustainable it has DRR would have to be ultimately integrated to the development plans of various departments at the district and sub-district levels.

4.3.3. Illustrations of Mainstreaming DRR into on-going Flagship Programmes More specifically, the following flagship programmes of the Government of India are being implemented in Kullu District

4.3.4 Mainstreaming People with Disability (PwD) into DRR PwDs are included as one of the cross-cutting issues (children, disability, environment, gender HIV/AIDS, older people, and protection) and in the standards common to all technical sectors. The Biwako Millennium Framework for Action 2007 article 32 advocates for inclusion of disability in DRR. It highlights the importance of international cooperation (including development programs) being inclusive and accessible to PwDs. This includes cooperation between States on one hand, and partnerships with international and regional organizations as well as the civil society on the other. India being a signatory with United Nations convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) 2007 is thus, obligatory to follow article mentioned in UNCRPD. Its article 11 and 32 requires that persons with disabilities benefit from and participate in disaster relief, emergency response and disaster risk reduction strategies. Therefore, to support effective and sustainable inclusion of PwDs in DRR, disaster frameworks need to be disability-inclusive and disability frameworks need to be disaster-inclusive.

Fig 16: Practical model for mainstreaming disability into DRR

DDMP Kullu Page 63

In spite of almost similar exposures disaster has greater impact on humans in developing or low developed countries than the developed countries. Therefore, disaster risk can best be addressed through integrating into the developmental plans, programmes and processes. Hazard mapping, identification of elements at risk and exposure data assists in quantifying risk. There after risk reduction initiatives can be taken. Mainstreaming DRR is a prerequisite for safe and sustainable development.

4.4 Partnerships for Mitigation

4.4.1. Community Based Disaster Mitigation Communities are not only the first to be affected in disasters but also the first responders. Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. The community participation for DM would be promoted on the moto of “self-help”, “help thy neighbour” and “help thy community”. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require special attention. Women and youth should be encouraged to participate in decision making committees and action groups for management of disasters. Networking of youth and women based organization should be done and they should be trained in the various aspects of response such as first aid, search and rescue, management of community shelters, psycho-social counseling, distribution of relief and accessing support from government/agencies etc. Community plans will be dovetailed into the Panchayat, Block and District plans.

4.4.2. Mobilizing Stakeholders’ Participation The DDMA will coordinate with Home Guards, NCC, NYKS, NSS, sports and youth clubs, women based organizations, and faith based organizations and local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), CSOs etc. for DM. They will be trained in various aspects of DM more particularly in SAR and MFA. They will also be courage to empower the community and generate awareness through the irrespective institutional mechanisms. Efforts to promote voluntary involvement will be actively encouraged.

CHAPTER: 5 PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

Introduction

The goal of disaster preparedness is to know what to do in a disaster aftermath, how to do it and which right tools to be equipped with to do it effectively. Preparedness helps to minimize hazard‟s adverse effects through effective precautionary measures that ensure a timely, appropriate, effective organization and delivery of response and relief actions. Section 30 (2) (xii) of DM Act 2005, states that the “District Authority shall review the preparedness measures & give directions to the concerned departments at the district level or other concerned authorities where necessary for bringing the preparedness measures to the levels required for responding effectively to any disaster or threatening disaster situation”.

 Control Room- DEOC at Kullu is fortified with all the basic and advanced communication and IT infrastructure like EPBAX, Computers, LED sets, Telephone sets, Generator, and Voice logger that records all the incoming and outgoing calls from the DEOC. The Disaster Emergency number or the hunting line operational within district is 1077, which is a toll free number for disaster and is operational from all telecommunication networks.

 Training of Personnel of EOCs For the smooth running and functioning of EOC at District Kullu, round the clock (24x7), six professionals have been deployed of the level of computer operators and data entry operators who should be provided with training for receiving early warning for various hazards, interpretation of warnings and dissemination of the warnings. There is a need to increase the capacity of the professionals with regards to use of various emergency equipment‟s like wireless phones, etc.

 Drills For the efficiency and coordination of the various departments there is a need for the mock exercises on various hazards. This will provide the stakeholder of the departments to check their preparedness level and identify their gaps for further improvement.

 Forecasting of Early Warning The EOC would utilize the ICT tools and various other modes available for early transmission of warning. The bulk group messaging services would be utilized to alert the vulnerable groups and activate the SAR parties and other responders. Apart from technological systems used for receiving early warning signal, community knowledge can also be utilized. EWS are composed of four elements for preparedness as mentioned below:-  Knowledge of the risk  Technical monitoring and warning service  Dissemination of meaningful warnings  Public awareness and preparedness to act

Gap-Functioning of Satellite Phones and development of Ham Radio network in the district needs to be encouraged for utilization during emergency along with provision of mobile emergency operation vehicles.

5.2.1.2. Evacuation The Prime Nodal Agency for Evacuation within District Kullu is DDMA with supporting agency consisting of Revenue and Police department. Evacuation is a risk management strategy which involves the movement of people to a safer location. However, to be effective, it must be correctly planned and executed for the return of the affected community. The following factors need consideration for evacuation preparedness:  Identification of appropriate shelter areas based on safety, availability of facilities, capacity and number of victims  Approaches to the shelter location in light of disruption due to hazard impact and traffic blockades  Temporary accommodation

DDMP Kullu Page 71

 Provision of essential facilities like drinking water, food, clothing, communication, medical, electrical and feeding arrangements, etc.  Security  Financial and immediate assistance  First-aid and counseling

Evacuation Warning must be structured to provide timely and effective information. The warning should be clear and target specific. The warning statement issued to the community should be conveyed in a simple language and the statement should mention about:  The issuing authority, date and time of issue  An accurate description of likely hazard and what is expected  Possible impact on population, area to be in undated or affected due to earthquake  Need to activate evacuation plan  Do‟s and Don‟ts to ensure appropriate response  Advise to the people about further warnings to be issued, if any Gap-There is a need to earmark each and every evacuation route and shelters within district for quick and efficient evacuation process with regular mock drills for efficient and quick evacuation.

5.2.1.3. Search & Rescue The Prime Agency for Search and Rescue within District is Police along with Home Guards. In case the incident is beyond the capacity of the district and state NDRF, Bathinda and its supporting unit at Nurpur, Kangra will be reckoned for. In the event of any disaster the two departments of Police and Home Guards form teams to locate injured and dead along with rescuing the ones in need. The secondary departments supporting SAR work, are PWD, Health department, Fire department and also the people that voluntarily form teams to help the ones in need. Proper training for search and rescue process needs to be undertaken so as to minimize the time taken in rescuing someone. The Task team for Search & Rescue is formed as and when required. The members & equipment‟s depend on the nature of the disaster and intensity and their availability.  Police Officers  Fire Brigade  Medical team  Home guards  Swimmers (In case of flood)  Officials from PWD, I&PH, Electricity  Driver (For vehicles like ambulances, fire brigade, JCB, Excavator etc.)  Persons from Paramilitary forces (ITBP, SSB, of NDRF/ SDRF as the case may be)  Army personnel (depending on the scale of the incidence)  A Class IV Officer (Health Dept.)  Worker from Municipal Council  Volunteers trained in search and rescue

Equipment’s available with the various departments that can be used for SAR in District Kullu for various hazards like earthquake, landslide, flood and fire are: Safety Helmet, Ambulances, Extension ladder, Crane, JCB, Shovel, Spade, Tractor, Generator, Search Lights, Helmet, pick axe, baskets, blankets, VHF Sets, Tents, etc.

DDMP Kullu Page 72

Human Resource trained for SAR include- Home Guards, Police, ITBP, SSB, Trained Officials include - Government Officials, PTI‟s, Teachers, NCC, NYKS, Pradhans, MC officials, NGO‟s, Gap- There is a need to provide training to the relevant departments concerned for SAR within the district as identified above. The other major gap in preparedness is non- availability of the essential number of items as per the IDRN List of equipment besides the mentioned above.

5.2.1.4. Damage & Loss Assessment The Nodal Officer having responsibility for assessment of the damages and loss will be with the Revenue department with its key departments Damage assessment is carried out with regards to building stock, standing crops, agricultural area, livestock lost, forest cover decimated, vital installations etc. for better rescue and relief. Damage assessment is conducted in 2 phases:  Rapid Damage Assessment, and  Detailed Damage Assessment The field staff and agencies of various departments would communicate the damage/loss to the DEOC at the earliest. Initially first information report would be sent which would be followed by the detailed damage assessment reports. The formats for damage assessment are given in the annexures. Indicative departments of Damage assessment are- Revenue, PWD, I&PH, Electricity Board, Health Department, Agriculture and Horticulture Department, Animal Husbandry, and others suitable departments. Gap- Training of the officers/ officials of the key departments and acquiring and training for the use of latest techno- legal equipment required for the assessment of damages and loss.

5.2.1.9. Psycho-Socio Care Prime department concerned with Psycho –socio care is the medical department with secondary support from the Red Cross Society The Various Hospitals and health centers within Kullu District do not have trained manpower for psycho-socio care of the victims of the disaster. Nor there are sufficient centers to deal with patients requiring such care. Gap- Non- Trained staff of the hospitals and community with regards to psycho- socio care and formation of trauma centers at all major hospitals

5.2.2. Preparedness and evacuation for disabled Persons with disabilities are often overlooked throughout the disaster management. Keeping this in view some potential problems encountered by people with various types of disabilities and their possible measures are mentioned below for preparedness during response and evacuation:  Training of the support staff of the disabled people with regards to response and evacuation  Training of PwD having visual impairment to shout for help or to have whistle as part of emergency preparedness kit, use of cloth or gestures pictures, etc. by hearing impaired people  Clear markings for the evacuation routes of the PwD  Procurement of equipment for physical impaired people like mobility aids  Use of picture cards to communicate immediate needs of food, water, toilet, medication, etc.  Training of SAR teams for dealing with people with intellectual and mental impairment  Preparation of shelters through use of universal designs like handrail, ramps visual signage, adapt water and sanitation sources and making people with disability familiar with shelter environment  Fencing the shelter grounds or areas that are unsafe  Information dissemination to PwD through Braille and auditory manner  Awareness of the staff in charge of Shelter management including volunteers

DDMP Kullu Page 74

 Preparing female volunteers/ task force members to assist females with disabilities  Provision for mechanisms to check on security of people with disabilities

The details of the preparedness measures to be undertaken by various Stakeholding departments for disasters has been provided in Annexure V

5.3 Activation of Incident Response System in the District

This establishes the framework within which a single leader or committee can manage the overall disaster response effort. The Responsible officer at various levels of the district (as discussed in the chapter three) are responsible for nominating the Incident Commander and activating the Incident Response Teams.

5.4. Protocol for seeking help from other agencies

5.4.1. Procedure for Provision of Aid Assistance during a disaster situation is to be provided by the Defense Services with the approval and on orders of the central government. In case, the request for aid is of an emergency nature, where government sanctions for assistance is not practicable, local military authorities when approached for assistance should provide the same. This will be reported immediately to respective Services Headquarters (Operations Directorate) and normal channels taken recourse to, as early as possible.

 Requisition Procedure Any state unable to cope with a major disaster situation on its own and having deployed all its resources will request Government of India for additional assistance. Ministry of Defense will direct the respective service headquarters, to take executive action on approved requests. The Chief Secretary of the state may initiate a direct request for emergency assistance, for example, helicopter for aerial reconnaissance, or formation of local headquarter (Command/Area Headquarters) or naval base or air force station.

The Procedure to Requisition Army and Air Force along with Principles for Deployment of Armed Forces are in Annexure VIII

The format for the Requisition for Army Aid by Civil Authorities is in Annexure IX

 Coordination a. Inter-service Coordination at Central Level: Cabinet secretariat (Military Wing). A case force-opting a Tri Service RRF to cater for emergency situations within India and in the region is under consideration of COSC. This JCC would be responsible for coordination and direct in gall rescue/relief operations to ensure synergy of efforts of all three services in management of disasters. b. Service Headquarters  Military Operations Directorate (MI-6) at Army Headquarters  Director of Naval operations at naval head quarters  Directorate of Operations (Transport and Maritime) at Air Head quarters c.

The Armed Forces may be called upon to provide the following types of assistance:  Infrastructure for command and control for providing relief. This would entail provision of communication and technical manpower.  Search rescue and relief operations at disaster sites.  Provision of medical care at the incident site and evacuation of casualties.  Logistics support for transportation of relief materials.  Setting up and running of relief camps.  Construction and repair of roads and bridges to enable relief teams/material to reach affected areas.  Repair, maintenance and running of essential services especially in the initial stages of disaster relief.  Assist in evacuation of people to safer places before and after the disaster.  Coordinate provisioning of escorts for men, material and security of installations.  Stage management and handling of International relief, if requested by the civil ministration.

5.4.2. Disaster Relief Operation Important aspects of policy for providing disaster relief are as under: a. Disaster relief act can be undertaken by local commanders. However, HQ Sub Area is to be informed at the first opportunity and then flow of information to be maintained till completion of the task. b. Effective and efficient disaster relief by the army while at task. c. Disaster relief tasks will be controlled and coordinated through Commanders of Static headquarters while field units Commanders may move to disaster site for gaining first- hand knowledge and ensuring effective assistance. d. Once situation is under control of the civil administration, army aid should be promptly de- requisitioned. e. Adequate communication, both line and radio, will be ensured from Field Force to Command Headquarters.

5.4.3. Army authorities to be contacted for disaster relief are as under: 1. Co-Ordination between Civil and Army: For deployment of the Army along with civil agencies on disaster relief, co-ordination should be carried out by the district civil authorities and not by the departmental heads of the line departments like Police, Health & Family Welfare, PWD and PHED etc. 2. Overall Responsibility when Navy and Air Force are also being employed: When Navy and Air Force are also involved in disaster relief along with the Army; the Army will remain over all responsible for the tasks unless specified otherwise.

5.5 Mechanism for checking and certification of logistics, equipment’s and stores

1. District administration should designate officials for checking logistics and equipment‟s required for disasters on a periodical bases of the stakeholding departments and which should be certified by the concerned officer and the report of the same be deposited with the disaster management cell Kullu. 2. Departments like PWD, I&PH, Electricity, MC, Forest, etc. to also monitor their logistics, equipment‟s and stores annually and send a certificate of the list to DDMA for updation the same on the website. (Detail information of equipment in Annexure IV)

5.6. Operational check-up of Warning System In the wake of natural disasters, a Control Room is set up in the district for day-today monitoring of the rescue and relief operations on a continuing basis, operationalizing the contingency plan and for maintaining close liaison with the State Headquarters, NGOs and other agencies dealing with disaster management and relief. The equipment for EWS, Satellite phone, Hot Line, Telephone lines available with the authorities etc. are also checked periodically.

5.7. Operational check- up for Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) Operational check-up of EOC to be carried out every quarter for all available facilities and equipment in DEOC

5.8. Seasonal Inspection of Facilities and critical infrastructure The various departments/ organizations to carry out inspection of their resources and equipment‟s annually, especially before the onset of rainfall and snowfall season. The lifeline infrastructure needs to be monitored and repaired, if required, before the start of the season. All departments to maintain register for seasonal inspection of facilities and critical infrastructure for purpose of audit of disasters.

5.9. Identifying of Quick Response Teams The police department and the medical units having Quick Response Teams need to be properly coordinated and commanded under the planning section. More Quick Response Teams need to be formed within District Kullu up till the Panchayat level for better and time saving response system.

5.10 NGOs and other Stakeholders coordination NGO and Voluntary groups are play a very important activity and response during disaster. DDMA has recognized such organizations (Annexure III) and also organized capacity- building programmers, awareness programmers on Disaster Management for them. For arrangement of water supply, temporary sanitation facilities, search and rescue activity, relief distribution can be sought with the help of special agencies, NGOs and CBOs. Inter-Agency Group (IAG) has been formed in District Kullu in February 2015 with a five member committee, comprising of 14 NGO‟s and 3 GO‟s.

DDMP Kullu Page 77

5.11. Community preparedness

5.11.1. Community warning system To have robust and effective early warning systems that play crucial role in saving lives and limiting the extent of damage to assets and services, the outreach and reliability of warnings are the key factors for planning and implementing response measures. Post disaster advisories like information on rescue, relief and other services are important to ensure law, order, and safety of citizens. The Disaster Risk Management Program (DRM) being implemented by Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (HPSDMA) aims to strengthen the response, preparedness and mitigation measures of the community, local self- governments, the District administration and the State in Himachal Pradesh under the DRM Programme. The preparedness level specific process will be followed at District Level, Taluka level, City-ULB level and Village Level Process. District Kullu has taken up the preparedness measures from village level to District level. At the villages village Task forces was formed and trained about First aid and Health, Search and Rescue and Disaster Management. Some volunteers have also been trained in Disaster Management and plans like preparing of VDMP.

5.11.2. Community awareness, education Community based disaster preparedness (CBDP) is a process to capacitate communities to prevent, mitigate and cope with disasters effectively from District to Taluka and village level. Awareness programmes must be conducted among community through print media, electronic media, folk dances, street plays, pamphlets, etc.

Table 50: Awareness activity and responsible department

Task Activity Responsibility Information, Advertisement, hording, booklets, leaflets,  Information Dept. Education banners, shake-table, demonstration, folk  Education Dept. Communication dancing and music, jokes, street play,  All line Dept.‟s exhibition, TV Spot, radio spot, audio-  District Collectors visual and documentary, school campaign,  Chief officer „s Rally, - Planning and Design -Execution  Other District and Dissemination Authorities

5.11.3. Sensitization of community about needs of persons with disabilities Under the GoI –UNDP Project, a Two Day Capacity Building Program for Disabled Persons / People with special needs was held in District Kullu in December 2015 under UNDP India and Handicap International, a specialized agency working in the sector of disability. The organizations who were imparted training on disability (Annexure X)

5.12. Protocol and arrangements for VIP visits The visit of VIP‟s to the disaster site is likely to adversely affect the rescue operations, particularly if casualties are still trapped. It should be ensured that their visits do not interrupt rescue and lifesaving work and the police, as coordinator of the disaster response, should explain the ground situation to them and try to avoid their visit, if possible. However, in case the visit becomes impossible to avoid, administration needs to fix up the timings of their visits. The

DDMP Kullu Page 78 additional need of their security also causes a problem. The police and the local services are trained to handle VIP visits and many of the usual considerations will apply to their visit to a disaster site. It is desirable to restrict media coverage of such visits, in such case the police should liaise with the government press officer to keep their number to minimum. It is also necessary for the police to brief the VVIP/VIP beforehand about the details of casualties, damage and the nature of the disaster. It should, therefore, prepare a brief note for such briefings.

5.13. Knowledge Management, networking and sharing With the need to share experiences and create a network of knowledge in the field of DM, DDMA needs to forge ties with knowledge institutions such as NITs, IITs, CBRI, SASE, ICIMOD, GSI, CWC, IMD, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology Dehradun, etc., and UN Agencies and other national and international agencies dealing with emergency response in order to utilize their experiences and knowledge for DM in the district. In acknowledgment of the need for a knowledge sharing platform on DM, and for facilitating interaction and dialogue with related areas of expertise, the DDMA website within the district has been created. It helps to connect with all Government Departments, statutory agencies, research organizations/ institutions and humanitarian organizations to share collectively and individually their knowledge and technical expertise. ICT would be utilized to disseminate knowledge to the stakeholder‟s so that they can benefit from it.

5.13.1. India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN)/State Disaster Resource Network/ District Disaster Resource Network IDRN, a web based nationwide information system for district level resource, is a platform for managing the inventory of equipment‟s, skilled human resources and critical supplies for emergency response. This database enables decision makers to assess the level of preparedness for specific vulnerabilities. IDRN is an inventory of all specialist equipment required for emergency/disaster response which will give at the touch of a button the location of specific equipment/specialist resources as well as the controlling authority for that resource so that it can be mobilized for response in the shortest possible time. (Annexure IV) State disaster Resource network and India Disaster Resource Network is a crucial database for response of any disaster. SDRN, a decision support tool, is layered using the existing IT Wide Area Network (WAN) of the State. SDRN uses the map-based Geospatial Information Systems developed by the Himachal Pradesh based organization Aryabhata Institute for Space Applications and Geo-Informatics (AISAG). Currently, the SDRN network is being integrated with the GIS based Decision Support System using Java, MS-Access, Visual Studio 2005 with Database SQL Server 2005. The GIS Visualize does not require any GIS software. The GIS visualize contains multi layered options depicting roads-highways, taluka, district boundaries, rivers, ports, airways, etc. SDRN and IDRN updation are regularly base work and it is updation

5.13.2. Documentation of Lessons Learnt and Best Practices The indigenous technical knowledge would be documented and promoted. In the immediate aftermath of any disaster or incident, field studies will be carried out, with the help of experts wherever needed, as an institutional measure. These studies will concentrate on identifying gaps in the existing prevention and mitigation measures and also evaluate the status of preparedness and response. Similarly, the lessons of past disasters will also be compiled and documented. The recovery and reconstruction process will also be analyzed for further refining the DM processes and training needs.

DDMP Kullu Page 79

5.13.3. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Historically, the corporate sector has been supporting disaster relief and rehabilitation activities. However, the involvement of corporate entities in disaster risk reduction activities is not significant. PPP between the Government and private sector would also be encouraged to leverage the strengths of the latter in disaster management. The DDMA would need to network with the corporate entities to strengthen and formalize their role in the DM process for ensuring safety of the communities. The corporate sector also needs to be roped up for on-site and off- site emergency plans for hydro-power projects. The role of corporate sector for awareness generation and local capacity building is also important and efforts would be made to involve corporate sector in this effort.

5.13.4. Community Registries to collate basic contact information for Persons with Disabilities In District Kullu the Community Registries for Persons with Disabilities has been conducted by District Welfare Office based on pension and other social benefits provided to them as per government norms. There are 2,632 persons with Disability within district Kullu as per 2016.

5.14. Media management / information dissemination

Media plays a critical role in the information and knowledge dissemination in all phases of Disaster Management including IRS structure. The versatile potential of both electronic and print media needs to be fully utilized. Effective partnership with the media will be worked out in the field of community awareness, early warning and dissemination, and education regarding various disasters. The use of vernacular media would be harnessed for community education, awareness and preparedness at the local level and the DPRO in consultation with DDMA would take appropriate steps in this direction. Both print and electronic media are regularly briefed at predetermined time intervals about the events that occur and the prevailing situation on ground. With regards to media training and capacity building the District Administration Kullu and DPRO need to monitor and facilitate trainings of the personals of media for Disaster Management and presentation keeping the sensitivity of the issue during an incident, especially of the Official Spokesperson. The Spokesperson should be the one who will coordinate with the RO and the IC in IRS structure under the Information and Media unit to disseminate the information of the incident.

5.15. Medical Preparedness and Mass Casualty Management In order to avoid confusion, improved efficiency in cost and time, medical unit must clearly define disaster response procedures. Orientation and training for disaster response plan and procedures, accompanied by simulated exercises, will keep the department prepared for such eventualities. Health Department needs to prepare for as ESF: 1. Special skills required during disaster situations need to be imparted to the officials and it‟s staff. 2. Surgical packs should be purchased, assembled and sterilized to last four to five days. 3. All valuable instruments, such as surgical tools, ophthalmo scopes, portable sterilizers, CGS, dental equipment‟s, etc. should be stocked in protective coverings. 4. Protection of all immovable equipment, such as x-ray machines, by covering them with tarpaulins or polythene. 5. If surgery is to be performed following the disaster, arrangement for emergency supplies of anesthetic gases required.

DDMP Kullu Page 80

6. Organize in-house emergency medical teams to ensure adequate staff availability to handle emergency casualties by setting up teams of doctors, nurses and dressers for visiting disaster sites. 7. Plan for emergency accommodations for auxiliary staff from outside the area. 8. Information formats and monitoring checklists should be used for programme monitoring and development and for reporting to EOC.

5.16. Community Based Preparedness Efforts

5.16.1. Awareness generation strategy The strategy for DM awareness may include meetings with key persons; training programmes; Rallies; Street Plays; Competitions in Schools/ collages; Distribution of IEC material; Wall paintings related to slogans and Do‟s and Don‟ts; sensitization workshops for PwD and vulnerable groups of the society; documentaries and advertisements and slogans; use of T.V and radio for dissemination of information related to disasters and situations during an incidence; use of social media like Facebook and twitter for awareness and dissemination of pre and post disaster information.

5.16.2. Resource Mobilization Resource mobilization is one of the most important and crucial activity during a disaster for responding in an efficient manner. The IDRN portal has information regarding the different kind of resources available for multi –hazard, with various departments, along with their location across District Kullu. It can lead to quick and immediate procurement of the required resources from the nearest available site and department for response to any disaster. VDMP‟s should also be updated with resource inventory to keep a record of available resources within the communities at the village level.

5.16.3 Early Warning Mechanism including last mile connectivity With regards to Community based preparedness for early warning following needs to developed:  Formation of Community Emergency Committee and plan  To develop traditional EWS like metallic bell, drums and „Dholak‟ etc. to inform the community of likelihood of occurrence of the disaster, warning signal should be disaster specific  Familiarity of the community with the early warning signs to be developed prior to the disaster during the mock drills and meetings  Early warning signals to be disseminated to community only through responsible person  Develop radio based EWS  Use of SMS system to inform DM team members.

5.16.4 Kits – Family Relief Kits / First Aid Kits While the „Home Kit‟ is designated to maintain a family for up to three days the „GO‟ kit would include a scaled –down list of items that would fit into backpack and would be ready if the family had to leave home in a hurry. It should be essential and practical in goal. The following list includes suggested items for disaster kits:

DDMP Kullu Page 81

 Family prescribed medications ( be sure to check expiry date) with list of family physician and important medical information  A battery powered radio, flash light and plenty of extra batteries (eg. NOAA emergency radio)  Identification, credit cards, cash, photocopies of important family documents including home insurance  An extra set of car and home keys, pair of glasses, Blankets, bedding or sleeping bags  Special items for infants, the elderly or family members with disabilities  At least 3 days‟ supply of water (one gallon per person per day). Store water in sealed, unbreakable containers. Replace every six months  3-5 days‟ supply of non-perishable packaged or canned food and a non- electric can opener  A change of clothing, rain gear, and sturdy shoes, inexpensive plastic ponchos for “go” kits  Tools such as screwdrivers, cutters, scissors, match box, needle thread, pen and paper, garbage bags, a whistle, a compass  Personal hygiene products

5.17 Hospital preparedness The Chief Medical Officer of the district in coordination with the DDMA will ensure that the hospitals and health centers in the district are prepared to respond to various disasters. Towards strengthening preparedness the following action will be undertaken:  Train the medical staff to respond to disasters  Prepare hospital level disaster response and preparedness plan and hold mock drills  Maintaining a stockpile of emergency resources  Prepare resource mobilization plan  Maintain emergency contact numbers of various hospitals including private and military hospitals  Map and identify blood banks and blood donors in and around the district  Map and identify suppliers for critical medicines

5.18 School preparedness  The District Medical Officer of the district in coordination with the DDMA will ensure that the schools in the district are prepared to respond to various disasters. Towards strengthening preparedness the following action will be undertaken:  Train the school teachers, staff and students to respond to disasters  Prepare school disaster management and preparedness plan and hold mock drills  Prepare school level task forces and train them  Maintain emergency contact numbers of service providers such as Police, Hospitals, Ambulance services, DDMA, etc.

CHAPTER: 6 CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAINING MEASURES

Introduction As per the National Disaster Management Act (2005), Section 2 sub clause (b) the term “capacity-building” includes –

i. Identification of existing resources and resources to be acquired or created. ii. Acquiring or creating resources identified under sub clause (i) iii. Organisation and training of personnel and coordination of such trainings for effective management of disasters. Disaster management is a multi-organizational effort, emphasizing on trainings even for its execution and coordination, hence, a wide range of trainings related to managemental skills are highly required for potential officers in order to equip themselves for the specialized disaster-related tasks. They require orientation for various aspects of crisis management such as:

 Skill training,  Planning,  Trainings on Emergency Response Functions such as first-aid, search and rescue, emergency operation centre, emergency feeding and welfare, communication and damage assessment etc.  Trainings for coordinated disaster management activities and response operations especially for the persons engaged in emergency services, government –line departments, non- government organizations and important private sector groups

6.1 Approach

Capacity Building being part of Non-Structural Mitigation in Disaster Management has the prime purpose of reducing risk and making the communities safer, which requires building resilience and enhancing the coping capacities of the societies. The approach thus includes: 1. According priority to training for developing community based DM systems for their specific needs in view of the regional diversities and multi-hazard vulnerabilities 2. Conceptualisation of community based DM system at district level through consultative process involving State and other stakeholders within the district and local level authorities in charge of implementation 3. Identification of knowledge based institutions for capacity building 4. Adaptation of traditional and global best practices and technologies 5. Lying emphasis on table top exercises, simulations, mock drills and development of skills to test the plans 6. Capacity analysis of different disaster responder groups at District and local levels

6.2 Capacity Building Plan

Disaster Management comprising of multi- sectoral issues is much more than training as referred below:  Human resource development, the process of equipping individuals with the understanding, skills and access to information, knowledge and training that enables them to perform effectively,

6.2.1. Institutional Capacity Building The District Disaster Management Authority, Kullu will utilize the abilities and expertise of representatives from various areas for the departments which have role in emergencies such as fire, police, home-guards, health, PWD, I&PH, revenue etc. in order to strengthen and equipped their capacities to deal with disasters. There is also an urgent need for strengthening the disaster management pedagogy by creating disaster faculties in universities, rural development institutes and other organisations of premier research.

6.2.1.1. Himachal Institute of Public Administration (HIPA), Shimla The Himachal Institute of Public Administration (HIPA), Fairlawn, Shimla is the main Institute for Administrative Training (IAT) within the State of Himachal Pradesh for conducting training programs on various aspects of Disaster Management including all of the districts. The

DDMP Kullu Page 85

institute is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for training and research on disaster management, with conference halls, well stocked library along with boarding and lodging facilities for participants during its programmes. Trainings conducted at HIPA, Shimla take place over a period of three to five days requiring nomination from the district, of the officials from various departments, as per the specificities of the training being conducted. It is incumbent upon the nominated officials to attend the trainings and upon completion of the program, they are certificated by HIPA. The officials at the district level are responsible for maintaining a data base of the trained officials in specific fields and update the same in the district disaster plan. This will ensure the availability of trained human resources capable of dealing with disasters at the district level.

6.2.1.2. District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Kullu District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Kullu is primarily responsible for the development of capacity-building and training at the district level. The Authority shall ensure the implementation of various capacity building programmes within district with regards to training, education, awareness, mock drills and related programmes for making the society resilient and ensuring the departmental development with regards to disaster management. As per the specificities of the training being conducted by the district administration, participants from various departments will be nominated for the various disaster management related trainings and any other body/authority that is competent to conduct/organise trainings in the field of disaster management may be called upon by the district administration from within the district or outside. The role of the DDMA will, thus, be predominantly that of coordination and monitoring. The Heads of Departments (HODs) within the district have the responsibility of nominating officials from their departments for various disaster management trainings pertaining to their specific areas of work as per the trainings organised by DDMA.

6.2.1.3 Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sports (ABVIMAS), Manali The Institute has evolved, developed and improvised search and rescue techniques especially for rescue of casualty from gorges, crevasses, rivers and cliffs and these are very useful in times of natural disaster of any magnitude like earthquakes, flash floods, cloudbursts, landslides, avalanches in snowbound areas, road and fire accidents. The institute has gained expertise and experience not only in parting search and rescue training but also in outsourcing the training for many government and non- government organizations including the elite National Disaster Response force (NDRF) and the Army of Bhutan. The institute has successfully organized and conducted several rescue operations from time to time and extricated dead bodies and saved precious lives of people who were involved in accidents while climbing mountains, crossing rivers, driving automobiles or caught in landslides, avalanches, flash floods and cloudburst. The institute provides search & rescue facilities to the pedestrians crossing Rohtang Pass in winter, when it is closed due to heavy snowfall, by establishing rescue posts on both sides of the Pass i.e. Marhi and Khoksar in two phases i.e. 15th November to 31st December and 1st March to 15th May annually. Thousands of pedestrians (about 8,000 to 15,000 persons annually) are benefitted by way of safe passage to either side. The establishments of these rescue posts in vogue since 1981. Similarly, the institute also provides search & rescue facilities during famous Mani Mahesh Yatra and Shrikhand Mahadev Yatra in Kullu by sending rescue teams constituted of trained youth who have been certified as instructors by the institute. There are about 300 to 500 trainees in various courses conducted by the institute in different areas including mountain climbing at a time.

DDMP Kullu Page 86

6.2.1.4. Capacity Building of Professionals  Civil Engineers, Architects, Masons There is strong evidence that appropriate engineering intervention can significantly reduce the risk of disasters. Civil/ Structural engineers, architects and masons play an important role in pre and post disaster situations by practicing and implementing the building codes as per disaster management for housing constructions and retrofitting of structures in an area and damage assessment. Ministry of Home Affairs initiated a twin programmes for capacity building of engineers under National Programme for Capacity Building of Engineers in Earthquake Risk Management and for architects under National Programme for Capacity Building of Architects in Earthquake Risk Management which was implemented in 2008. Civil engineers need to keep themselves aware about the latest research and developments in construction technology, advances in construction materials and analysis or design procedures and keep training and doing research as well to minimise the loss of life and property during disasters. They should also take support from other branches of engineering for the better planning, execution and functioning of their building and infrastructure projects. Trainings to civil engineers are provided by HIPA and in professional engineering colleges as in National Institute of Technology (NIT), Hamirpur. Furthermore, at the district level, training for civil engineers architects, masons for construction of earthquake-resistant structures is being facilitated by DDMA, Kullu in collaboration with the engineers at the District level that are trained to be trainers and NIT Hamirpur (Annexure XVIII). Guild of engineers should also take incentive to provide training programmes to the masons and newly recruited engineers within the district.

 Medical Capacity Building Medical preparedness is a crucial component of any DM Plan. All the hospitals handling mass casualty should incorporate training and capacity building of medical teams paramedics in trauma and psycho-social care, mass causality management and triage should be prepared and integrated within DDMP. The NDMA has formulated policy guidelines to enhance capacity in emergency medical response and mass casualty management and the department will use these guidelines for medical preparedness. The plans should inter-alia include safety of structural and non-structural elements in hospital, evacuation plan, provision of alternative hospital and identification of open spaces which could be used as open hospitals to handle the rush of disaster victims. The medical authorities will be encouraged to formulate appropriate procedures for treatment of casualties by private hospitals during disasters. The hospital DMPs will also address post-disaster disease surveillance systems, networking with hospitals, referral institutions and accessing services and facilities such as availability of ambulances and blood banks. The medical DMP will also have provision for mobile surgical teams, mobile hospitals and heli-ambulances for evacuation of patients. There is a need to focus on creating adequate mortuary facilities. Proper and speedy disposal of dead bodies and animal carcasses deserves due weightage. Web-enabled database of blood donors will be prepared to facilitate arrangement of blood supply chains during emergencies. For this purpose networking with Red Cross and NGOs would be worked out. Strengthening the District Counselling Centres under the Department of Social Welfare & Child Development is required. Training‟s of DM should also be integrated in the fields of Psychology, Social Work, Mental Health, Emergency Medical Response, Hospital Administration, Nursing and Paramedics. There should be inclusion of it in the CBDRM and training of PRI team members. HOD‟s can built the capacities of their respective departments as per the details in the table below and ensure they are built upon for a better and resilient society within the district.

 Corporate Professionals With increase in number of disasters over the years there has been also increase in severe economic impacts as well. As the role of corporate sector is crucial in the developmental approach of the any area, the National Disaster Management Framework emphasizes on the involvement of corporate sector in awareness generation and disaster preparedness and mitigation planning as well as in relief and rehabilitation. Keeping in mind the need to mainstream disaster management concerns at multiple levels of the corporate sector, the following steps should be taken into consideration:  Through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), corporate can assist in development projects, and thus help enhance the capacity at the district-level.  Conducting mock-drills at regular intervals to determine the efficacy of the disaster management plans of their industrial units.  Large-scale association with awareness generation initiatives aimed at building the knowledge, attitude and skills of the common people for a safer habitat.  To move away from relief centric approach to a pro-active holistic developmental approach through risk management measures and capacity-building of industrial personnel through Business Continuity Planning (BCP), trainings and other measures.  Training of a core team of Structural Engineers for retrofitting of existing industrial infrastructure as per requirement. The Public- Private- People (PPP) partnership for Natural Disaster Risk Management is an Offshoot of these initiatives, which include awareness generation, training, mock –drills, development of on- site and off-site disaster management plans, preparation of inventory of resources and sensitization programmes. The DDMA would need to network with the corporate entities to strengthen and formalise their role in the DM process for ensuring safety of the communities. PPP between the Government and private sector would be encouraged to leverage the strengths of the latter in disaster management.

6.2.2. Community Capacity Building and Community Based Disaster Management The Community Based Approaches or community participation in disaster management is also referred to as Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) or Community Based Disaster Risk Management Capacity (CBDRM) with the essential feature of reducing vulnerability and disaster risk. Communities are not only the first to be affected in disasters but also the first responders. Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. The community participation for DM would be promoted on the moto of “self-help”, “help thy neighbour” and “help thy community”. Community Capacity Building includes formation and strengthening of the community disaster response or preparedness structures, awareness, training, public information campaigns, sustainable livelihood activities, through skill development, formation of task teams for SAR, WASH, Early Warning, First Aid, Shelter Management. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require special attention. Networking of youth and women based organisation would be done and they will be trained in the various aspects of response such as first aid, search and rescue, management of community shelters, psycho-social counselling, distribution of relief and accessing support from government/agencies etc. Community plans will be dovetailed into the Panchayat, Block and District plans. DDMA will coordinate with volunteers and social organizations like Home Guards, NYKS, NCC, Red Cross, Market Trade Associations, Youth Clubs, Self Help Group (SHGs), CBO‟s, NGO‟s and Anganwadi centres, etc., to play a vital role in spreading mass scale community awareness. Media equally plays an important role in raising awareness and educating people. Skill- development at the

DDMP Kullu Page 91

community level can be done on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to ensure sustainability of the community against disasters. Public awareness can be brought about through:  Traditional modes of promoting knowledge and awareness would be adopted such as use of folk songs, nukkad nataks, etc.  Community would be targeted through local fairs and festivals.  Documentaries in local language would be screened through local cable networks etc. and mass media would be roped to promote education and awareness.

Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Village Contingency Planning (VCP) are critical aspects for capacity building at the community-level and will be managed by the concerned departments in the district. Multiple responsibilities within the arena of capacity-building and training will be delegated to local authorities, PRIs and ULBs under the overall guidance of the District Administration.

6.2 .2. 1 Capacity Building of Community Task forces In district Kullu training of task forces with regards to early warning, Wash, First Aid, search and rescue and shelter management has been given in the two Sub divisions of Banjar and Manali. Training was provided by government and non-government agencies, 108 Ambulance service and Home Guards. Task forces needs to be established at the village levels, however, the training process has been initiated within the district of Kullu. Hence, District administration, Medical officers, Himachal Pradesh Fire Services and Home Guard, etc. are playing important role in building capacities of community task forces in search and rescue, fire-fighting, warning dissemination, first- aid and damage assessment etc.

Table 54: Setting Up Of Disaster Volunteer Force – Identification & Training

Force  Patrolling and Liaison Group- Shall watch & guard belongings of the inmates in the shelter camps & keep liaison with Government.

6.2.2.2. Capacity Building of People with Disabilities (PwD) It is important to consider the special /specific needs of persons with disabilities in every phase of disaster management and risk reduction planning. To reduce vulnerability and increase the capacity of PwD, they are required to be provided with the Specialist Services for empowerment by promoting access to the following:  Functional rehabilitation, e. g., Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, prosthetic and orthotic services  Corrective surgery  Assistive devices  Information leaflets in Braille DDMP Kullu Page 93

 Sign language for early warning systems  Disabled Peoples Organisations  Support services: care taker, sign language interpreter, adapted transportation services, etc.

6.3 Skill up gradation and follow up training programmes

6.3.1 Training and Capacity Building  Training and orientation of Government officials would be carried out and a time frame for the same would be prepared.  Training would be carried out as per the training needs assessment of various departments through the yearly calendar of trainings in Disaster Management.  Refresher courses would be organized at regular interval of two years.  Focus should be more on Practical aspect of training and based on skill up-gradation.  Capacity of the trainees in departments/ institutes having taken up training on DM to be upgraded so as to become trainers within their respective fields.  The community, CBOs, NGOs would be targeted for training and capacity building.  A Task force of local volunteers would be created who would be trained in various aspects of DM such as SAR, MFA etc.  A data base of trained officials would be maintained in DEOC and regularly updated and uploaded on the DDMA website  New entrants to the Government services would be trained and oriented to DM at the entry level training.  Rapid visual Screening of buildings and Safe construction practices needs to be promoted within the district and for which local masons, carpenters, construction supervisors, contractors would be specifically targeted and trained.

6.3.2 Communications and Information Technology (IT) Tools for DM Use of modern communication and information technology tools is crucial for effective and efficient disaster management. The communication and IT tools would be utilized for compiling of information, dissemination, and for spread of forecasting and early warnings. The digital mapping of resources would be done and the same would be hosted in web-based portals for easy access and retrieval. These tools can be used in the following areas:  Creating decision support system for the policy makers, disaster managers and responsible officers at all levels;  Real time dissemination of early warning to all the stakeholders–authorities, DMTs, QRTs, threatened community etc.;  Information and broadcasting mediums such as television, radios, FM stations etc. can be used keeping in view their geographical reach and availability;  Emergency communication system during disasters; and  Collecting and collating information on damage and needs assessment

6.4.3 Development of IEC Material Addressing specific requirements of vulnerable regions and groups, risk mitigation and preparedness needs of identified communities, various IEC material related to do„s and don„ts of multi hazards in form of posters, leaflets, banners, training modules and audio visual material must be produced using capacity-building funds within the district. The aim is to develop a large body of

DDMP Kullu Page 94

advocacy and awareness materials, especially in vernacular languages, targeting vulnerable groups such as women, children, elderly, differently-abled, and marginalized and excluded groups.

6.4.4. Simulation and Mock Drills As per Section 30 (2) (x) of DM Act 2005, the District Authority shall “review the state of capabilities for responding to any disaster or threatening disaster situation in the district and give directions to the relevant departments or authorities at the district level for their up gradation as may be necessary”, and Section 30 (2) (xii) of DM Act 2005, states to “organise and coordinate specialised training programmes for different levels of officers, employees and voluntary rescue workers in the district”, while (xiii) suggests to “facilitate community training and awareness programmes for prevention of disaster or mitigation with the support of local authorities, governmental and non- governmental organisations. The efficacy of DDMPs will be tested and refined through training, seminars, mock drills, awareness, prevention and mitigation measures as the vital activities to be covered under Pre Disaster Phase of the Disaster Management Cycle. The DDMA and Local Authorities in association with the SDMA and NDMA will conduct mock drills in different parts of the district TWICE within a year to test the efficacy of the plans and SOP‟s so prepared. The two mock exercises will be mandatorily conducted by the District Administration- first before the start of the tourist season in Kullu District in the month of March / April and the second will be conducted before the onset of the International Dusheera of Kullu for testing the efficiency of the various departments. Involvement of all the stakeholders and community at large numbers may be ensured to make the mock exercises as a means of awareness generation and community preparation. The inputs and lessons learnt during the mock exercises will be utilized to upgrade and improve the DMPs. All stakeholders shall be encouraged to generate a culture of preparedness and quick response. Drills enhance the ability to respond faster, better and in an organized manner during the response and recovery phase. The approach for conducting a mock-drill varies as per the complexity of scenario depending upon the potential hazards, response system of the institution and the target community. Therefore, to ensure proper implementation of a drill programme, roles and responsibilities (SOPs) of the concerned personnel, departments, corporate bodies, stakeholders, and mechanisms for conducting the drill should be delineated clearly as per IRS. Regardless of the size, complexity and risk involved in

DDMP Kullu Page 95

the implementation of the drill, an effective drill/exercise programme should have the following essential elements as prerequisites:  Emergency Response Plan: explaining institutional response structure, emergency response functions and standard operating procedures for various departments Team personnel at head quarter and field level trained on their standard operating procedures  Trained quick response teams in various possible operations like search and rescue, law and order, fire-fighting, medical, water arrangements, relief and shelter and electricity restoration etc.  Updated database of resources, equipment and manpower available  Updated Emergency Directory with important contact details of members of Incident Management Team and Emergency Response function  Mock-drill Scenario and detailed action plan for Mock-drill  Evaluation formats for concerned departments and definite criteria for evaluation  Observers and Qualified evaluators Lessons learnt from the actual drills and exercises would be useful to revise operational plans and serve as a basis for the training of various stakeholders across different sectors. The drills and exercises will help to -  Identify planning gaps  Revise SOPs to enhance coordinated emergency response  Increase public awareness and community readiness  Enhance capacities of professionals, departments and trained volunteers  Test plans and systems in simulation exercises

6.4.5. Inventory of trained professionals and data documentation in Annexure The DEOC Kullu is fortified with all the basic and advance communication and IT infrastructure. It has been equipped with communication facilities like EPBAX, Computers, LED sets, Telephone sets, Generator, and Voice logger that records all the incoming and outgoing calls from the DEOC. The Disaster Emergency number or the hunting line operational within district is 1077, which is a toll free number for disaster and is operational from all telecommunication networks. For the smooth running and functioning of DEOC round the clock (24x7) six professionals have been deployed. Development of Ham Radios network in the district would be encouraged so that it can be utilised during emergency along with provision of mobile emergency operation vehicles.

CHAPTER: 7 RESPONSE AND RELIEF MEASURES

Introduction

The post disaster phase of Disaster Management looks into relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery process. The effective disaster management strategy aims to lessen disaster impacts through strengthening and reorienting existing organizational and administrative structure from district – state to national level. Relief needs to be prompt, adequate and of approved standards as it is no longer perceived as gratuitous assistance or provision of emergency relief supplies on time. Emergency response plan is, thus, a first attempt to follow a multi-hazard approach to bring out all the disasters on a single platform, incorporating disaster resilient features to ‘build back better’ as the guiding principle. It provides a framework to the primary and secondary agencies and departments, which can outline their own activities for disaster response. Response process begins as soon as it becomes apparent that a disastrous event is imminent and lasts until the disaster is declared to be over. Disaster response is aimed at: Saving Life-Minimize the Loss- Stabilising the Situation.

7.1. Response Planning

The onset of an emergency creates the need for time sensitive actions to save life and property, reduce hardships and suffering, and restore essential life support and community systems, to mitigate further damage or loss and provide the foundation for subsequent recovery. Effective response planning requires realistic identification of likely response functions, assignment of specific tasks to individual response agencies, identification of equipment, supplies and personnel required by the response agencies for performing the assigned tasks. A response plan essentially outlines the strategy and resources needed for search and rescue, evacuation, etc. Most of the disasters are to be managed at the state and district level; however, centre plays a supporting role in providing resources and assistance. Disaster response functions comprises of:

 Early Warning Phase:  Activation of Control Room/EOC at District level/ sub –Division Level/ Block Level at the onset of the incident  Inform Community likely to be impacted in case of Early warning available  Activation of IRS  Inform and coordinate with the Stakeholding Departments/Agencies  Review of Damages and Needs assessment by DDMA /IRS teams at DEOC  Requisition of Paramilitary-ITBP/SSB and NDRF if required

 Search & Rescue Phase: Home Guard/Civil Defence/Fire will carry out the search and rescue in coordination with Police and Paramilitary Forces within or the nearby district and NDRF if required.

7. 5. District CMG meeting

At the District level, the District Crisis Management Group (DCMG) is an apex body to deal with major disasters and to provide expert guidance for handling them. CMG Meeting will be conducted immediately in case of a crisis situation. DCMG will meet twice along with the DDMA meetings held at the district headquarters. 7.6. Activation of EOC

The Additional District Magistrate shall be the Nodal Officer for Disaster Management and would be in-charge of the DEOC. The design, layout, equipment and operation of the DEOC would be as per the EOC Manual prepared at the State level. Either on the occurrence of a disaster or on receipt of warning EOC set up at the district headquarters Kullu within the Deputy Commissioner’s Office Complex will get activated for monitoring of the search and rescue as well as relief operations. DEOC will assist the commissioner in performing the role of the Chief of Operations assigned to him by DDMA. The occurrence of disaster shall be immediately communicated to the members of DDMA at district and sub-division levels as well as other stakeholders such as NGOs, trained SAR volunteers through SMS gateway for which specific provision of group mobile directory has been made. The directory would be grouped according to the disaster specific response groups. All the messages received in and sent out of the EOC will be entered into the message register and simultaneously recorded in the voice logger. In a disaster time the District Control Room, Kullu will operate under the central authority of the District Collector, exercising emergency power to issue directives to all departments to provide emergency response service. All the occurrences report would be communicated to the SEOC/SDMA, NEOC/NDMA and Supporting Agencies by means of telephone and subsequently fax periodically. The EOC in its expanded form will continue to operate as long as the need for emergency relief and operations exists and the long-term plans for rehabilitation are finalized. District Emergency Operations Centre is to be equipped with and carry out activities as below:  Action Plans / DDMP  Vulnerability maps  List of key contact persons during emergencies  Database on resources of the district  Assimilation and dissemination of information.  Liaise between Disaster site and State Head Quarter.  Monitoring, coordinate and implement the DDMP.  Coordinate actions and response of different departments and agencies.  Coordinate relief and rehabilitations operations  Hold press briefings.

7.7. Resource Mobilization

Resource mobilization is one of the most important and crucial activity when any disaster occurs in the district for responding to disaster in an efficient manner. The IDRN portal (Annexure IV) has information regarding the different kind of resources available for multi-hazard, with the various departments along with their location across the district. It can lead to quick and immediate procurement of the required resources from the nearest available site and department for response to

DDMP Kullu Page 102 any disaster. VDMP’s shall also be updated with resource inventory to keep a record of available resources with the communities at the village level. Various resources required in the damages and needs assessment will be mobilized by the concerned departments. Following is the list of the departments which are responsible for mobilizing various needs identified in the damages and needs assessment:

Table 60: Resource Mobilization and Responsible Department

7.8. Response Management 7.8.1 Relief distribution: Relief distribution will be coordinated by sub divisional, tehsil and respective disaster management committees. The onsite distribution will be done by incident response team. The updated needs will be communicated to the DDMA and then DDMA will ensure that regular supply of the required items is being done. The relief distribution will include essential items which serves the basic needs of the affected community like LPG , medicines, clothes, food items, drinking water, soaps, blankets, items of special needs for women’s, children’s, handicapped and old aged.

7.8.2. Search and rescue management Search and Rescue activities include, but are not limited to, locating, extricating, and providing immediate medical assistance to victims trapped in exigency situation. People who are trapped under destroyed buildings or are isolated due to any disaster need immediate assistance. The District Commissioner, in conjunction with local authorities will be responsible for the search and rescue operations in an affected region. At present, Nodal department for this activity is NDRF and Home Guard/civil Defence Department. The helping departments for search and rescue are PWD, Nagar Panchayat/Nagar Palika, Self-help groups, NSS, NCC, and PRIs. There are other bodies too that help these departments in this work, like, Health department, Fire department. In doing so, the DC will be guided by relevant disaster management plans and will be supported by Government departments and local authorities. Dedicated search and rescue teams from various line departments has been formed to support the search and rescue operations in the district and more details given regarding this mentioned in Annexure VII. Team members have to be periodically trained and retrained on the elements of collapsed structure, confined space search & rescue and rope rescue etc.

7.9. Seeking External Help for Assistance

As a matter of policy, the GoI does not issue any appeal for foreign assistance in the wake of a disaster. However, if the Government of another country voluntarily offers assistance as a goodwill gesture in solidarity with the disaster victims, then GoI may accept that offer. UN agencies and international NGOs already operating in the country at the time of the disaster event will be allowed to provide humanitarian assistance to people in the affected area in coordination with the concerned Central Ministries/Departments and the State / District Government under existing protocol in place.

7.10. Psycho Social Care and Mental Health Care (PSSMHS)

There is an urgent need for preparedness in the field of psycho-social and mental health care for the management of effects of disasters. In order to respond effectively in disasters, a well-planned, integrated and co-ordinated effort shall be made for psycho-social and mental health care preparedness. Effective and rapid response helps to reduce the stress and trauma of the affected community and facilitates speedy recovery by bringing them back to their pre-disaster level. Psycho-social and mental health care will be part of the health response plan and will be coordinated by district authorities, all the stakeholders including NGOs, specialised institutions, civil society organizations and the community. The response plans for the psycho-social and mental health care shall be prepared, based on the State and National Guidelines, National Health Policy and National Mental Health Programme (NMHP).These plans will be integrated with health plans at all levels through:

DDMP Kullu Page 104

 Strengthening of District Counselling Centres under the Department of Social Welfare & Child Development.  Integrating with DM mental health plans and Health/Hospital DM Plans.  Integrating with all training in the area of Psychology, Social Work, Mental Health, Emergency Medical Response, Hospital Administration, Nursing and Paramedics.  Inclusion in the CBDM Plan and training of PRI team members.  Developing awareness material for the community.  Evolve a mechanism for community outreach education programmes on PSSMHS.  Creation of a core group of master trainers at district level. District Hospital Kullu has a separate centre for Psycho Social Care and Trauma Centre

7.11. First Assessment Report

It is very essential to plan out the response and relief at the time of a disaster. It will determine the strategy to be inculcated for the concerned disaster and the affected area and community. It is received from the ground zero as it may be called and the first responders that send the report of damage assessment to the DEOC. It should contain the level of disaster, number of people affected, amount of damage to property, livestock, roads, essential facilities, etc. for general first hand assessment of the level of response to be prepared and sent to the concerned area. Format First Information Report of fire department in Annexure XVII

7.12. Media Management

Media has to play a major role during disaster. They will aid in information dissemination about help-line, aid-distribution camps, emergency phone number or the needs of the people. Further, they will also help in quashing rumours, for crowd management and prevent panic situation. Media will also help in mobilizing resources [money, volunteers, etc.] from other areas. To disseminate information about various hazards in the district and the relevant dos and don‘ts during and after a disaster encompass under the media management. This will be done through various forms of media such as newspapers, television, radio, internet, media and information van, street theatre, etc. The DDMA will establish an effective system of collaborating with the media during emergencies. At the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC), a special media cell will be created during the emergency under DPRO. Both print and electronic media are regularly briefed by some senior official designated from DDMA at predetermined time intervals about the events as they occur and the prevailing situation on ground. The DPRO in consultation with the DDMA would take appropriate steps in this direction too.

7.13 VIP management

It may be possible that the scale of a disaster may in addition lead to sudden visits of the VVIPS/VIP which further requires the active management to ensure the effortlessly on-going response and relief work without any interruption. DDMA will designate senior official to handle the VVIPs/VIPs visits to the affected areas and further to brief the VVIP/VIP beforehand about the details of casualties, damage and the nature of the disaster. The Police and Home guard will handle all the security of VVIPs/VIP during their visit. It would be desirable to restrict media coverage of such visits, in which case the police should liaise with the government press officer to keep their number to minimum.

DDMP Kullu Page 105

7. 13. Emergency Support Function

The DEOC would function through Emergency Support Functions (ESFs). Emergency support functions (ESF) are essential services for prompt and well-coordinated management of a disaster response mechanism as shown in figure below. It is to be noted that each Response Branch Director (RBD) will be responsible for the tasks assigned to his/her respective department. Table 61 explains the basic purpose of different response activities during any disaster. While an ESF Plan for the district Kullu has been prepared and placed at Annexure XII giving detailed roles and responsibilities of the various departments with regards to ESFs.

Providing vaccination certificates to the herders and bovine owners.

7. 14. Disaster Reporting

Disaster reporting is an important aspect to maintain clear communication among different levels of administration. This helps officers and staff to understand situation precisely and respond effectively and efficiently. This also involves documentation of situation and maintaining its photographs. All reports should quote facts and figures from credible sources. The reports issued are of various levels namely Rapid Assessment Report; Preliminary Assessment Report; Detailed Assessment Report; Interim Report and Final Report

7. 15. Demobilization and Winding Up

Demobilization is essentially a decision on what resources must be retained and what resources can be made available for release. This should be done in a planned and phased manner. Demobilisation requires organising transportation of both equipment and personnel to a large number of different places both near and far away. The Demobilization Unit in charge will prepare the demobilisation plan in consultation with RO, IC and PSC. The plan should include the details of the responders/ equipment’s to be demobilised, having proper documentation of number of personnel’s/ equipment’s demobilized, date, time, mode of transport, location from where they will be demobilised, the destination where they have to finally reach etc. There will be a similar plan for out of service equipment and sick personnel also.

CHAPTER: 8 RECONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY MEASURES

Introduction Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery process demands co-ordinate focus on multi- disciplinary aspects of reconstruction and rehabilitation for recovery and is essential to understand disaster reconstruction, rehabilitation under the holistic framework of post disaster recovery. It will be in the form of recommendation rather than the rule for the concept of “build back better”. Rehabilitation and Reconstruction are primarily carried out by the local bodies (Gram Panchayats, District, Talukas, Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, etc.) and different Government departments and boards. The reconstruction and rehabilitation plan is designed specifically for worst case scenario. Post disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation should pay attention to the following activities for speedy recovery in disaster affected areas. The contribution of both government as well as affected people is significant to deal with all the issues properly. Immediate and Long Term recovery plan includes following broad activities:  Damage assessment  Disposal of debris  Disbursement of assistance for houses  Formulation of assistance packages  Monitoring and review  Relocation  Town planning and development plans  Reconstruction as Housing Replacement Policy  Awareness and capacity building  Housing insurance  Grievance redressal . Reconstruction refers to restoration of lifeline infrastructure, replacement of damaged physical structures, the revitalization of economy and the restoration of social and cultural life while Rehabilitation refers to the actions taken in the aftermath of a disaster to enable the affected population to resume more-or-less normal way of life as before the disaster took place. Thus, emergency phase often defined as the recovery phase encompasses both reconstruction and rehabilitation.

8.1 General Policy Guidelines

The aim of the guidance notes is not to recommend actions, but to place before the personnel involved in the risk-reducing recovery process a menu of options. The International Recovery Platform (IRP) and United Nations Development Programme India have developed Guidance Notes on Recovery of nine sectors namely Shelter, Infrastructure, Gender, Livelihood, Environment, Governance, Climate Change, Health, and Psycho-social support. . 8.2. Relief and Recovery Coordination

The district administration shall provide immediate relief assistance either in cash or in kind to the victims of the disaster. The amount of resource material required to be mobilized as relief may be based on the statistics of the intensity and spread of various disasters in the area keeping in view the past disaster records. When a disaster is apprehended, the entire machinery of the district, including

DDMP Kullu Page 110 the officers of technical and other departments, swings into action and maintain almost continuous contact with each sub division and village threatened with the disaster. The Recovery plan of the District is to be carried out under the directions of DDMA for the efficient implementation of both short and long term plan.

8.3 Damage and loss assessment

For effective recovery plan, access to accurate and timely damage assessment is necessary as it helps the planners to identify the number and type of buildings damaged and destroyed as well as the spatial extent of the hazard consequences, number and location of displaced people, loss of agricultural land, etc.

8.4 Restoration

8.4.1 Basic infrastructure During any disaster the basic infrastructure involves repair and restoration. The main purpose of repair is to bring back the architectural shape of buildings to resume their functioning at the earliest through:  Patching up of defects such as cracks, fall of plaster, etc.  Repairing doors, windows, placement of glass panes.  Checking and repairing electric wiring.  Checking and repairing gas pipes, water pipes, sewerage and other plumbing services.  Repairing of broken walls, disturbed roofing tiles, cracked flooring and its redecoration with washing, painting etc. While restorations main purpose is to carry out structural repair to load bearing elements by rebuilding them or simply adding more structural material so that the original strength is restored.

The repair and restoration after a disaster of the monumental, historical and religious buildings like temples and palaces within district Kullu should be carried out in consultation with Archeological survey of India in case.

8.4.2 Essential service as per the relief code of the State/ District DDMA Kullu shall ensure the provision of the following basic amenities at all reconstruction and relocation sites

 Health Facilities DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure for provision of health facilities at all reconstructing sites in the district. The committee shall co-ordinate with constructing agencies like PWD, Private agencies, B&R, Housing board, etc., in association with Health department and ensure proper functioning of health facilities along with necessary infrastructure at strategic locations at all reconstruction sites. Schemes under health departments may be used for the same.

 Educational Facilities DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure provision of educational facilities for all the reconstructing sites in the district in association with Education department for disaster affected children/ students in the district.

DDMP Kullu Page 111

 Water DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure provision of adequate water supply for all the reconstructing sites in the district. Potable water for drinking and water for other use should be provided by PHED department and should ensure sustainable functional arrangements of water storage facilities such as water tanks to provide regular water supply to each and every house.

 Drainages and Sanitation Facilities DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure provision of proper drainage and sanitation facilities for all reconstructing sites in the district to ensure proper drainage system, hygiene and sanitation activities in rehabilitation sites with PHED.

 Electricity DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure provision of electricity and sufficient lighting facilities for all the reconstructing sites in the district for ensuring provision of electricity and associated infrastructure in all the rehabilitated sites with permanent connections.

 Transportation and Connectivity Facilities DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure provision of proper road connectivity and transportation facilities for all the reconstructing sites in the district with PWD (B&R) Department and HRTC and RTO, Kullu to ensure road connectivity and needed transportation facilities for the reconstruction sites before the community is handed the housing. All the committees shall co-ordinate with reconstruction agencies and should ensure provision of the above essential services at the restoration site.

8.4.3 Livelihoods The Relief and Reconstruction programmes would be used to generate livelihood options for the needy through the on-going or new programmes within the district to help the affected community to earn their livelihood. DDMA shall constitute a committee to ensure revamping of economy for all the reconstructing sites in the district. This committee comprising of members from Development and Panchayat department, District, Welfare department, District Red Cross, DCCW, and Health Department etc. shall provide mechanisms and schemes for livelihood generation and support for livelihoods. The various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes should be used for livelihood generation. The committee shall carry out livelihood generation activities for women, children, widows, old age, PwD, to ensure socio-economic rehabilitation at every reconstruction and rehabilitation sites. The livelihood support activities can be provided by the schemes under Welfare Department such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, etc.

8.5 Reconstruction / Repair of Buildings/ Infrastructure

The reconstruction phase would be utilized to incorporate the building codes, safe construction practices, and zoning regulations.

8.5.1 Life line buildings / Social Infrastructure Essential services, social infrastructure and intermediate shelters/camps will be established in the shortest possible time by the District Government and Departments within two to three years however, PRIs and ULBs shall be encouraged for reconstruction at local level .

DDMP Kullu Page 112

8.5.2. Damaged Buildings Reconstruction of Houses damaged / destroyed should be reconstructed in the disaster hit areas through owner driven reconstruction and Public Private Partnership Program (PPP). It shall be carried out with financial, technical and material assistance along with seismic designs of houses to be provided by the government, along with material assistance at subsidized rates.

8.5.3 Promote Owner Driven Construction Approach in recovery Reconstruction plans and designing of houses need to be participatory process involving the affected community, NGO, corporate sector and within the confines and the qualitative specifications and clear cut policy entitlements laid down by the Government. To have acceptability for the safe and quality standards construction norms, designs and guidelines need to be finalized during normalcy for community awareness. In the owner driven implementation the recipient can do the selection of building material and design allowing them to incorporate their preferences and requirements as needed. The self- help nature approach can address employment problem of the community during recovery phase and address some psycho-social impacts as well. It will also help to preserve the local cultural heritage and vernacular housing style which is instrumental for preservation of community cultural identity. The prime advantage of owner inclusive reconstruction process is:  Lower project cost  Higher rates of satisfaction  Earlier occupancy (in some case even before the completion of the structure)  Higher occupancy

8.6 Recovery Programs The recovery can be divided into two distinct phases, each with very different activities: short and long term recovery.

8.6.1 Short –term recovery program: Short –term recovery activities seek to stabilize the lives of the affected people with actions including provision of temporary housing, distribution of emergency food and water, restoration of critical infrastructure, clearance of debris. These actions tend to be temporary and often do not directly contribute to communities’ long term development and guided by response plans. At this point IRS is deactivated, after which the district administration shall take up the remaining reconstruction works in the disaster affected areas. These activities shall be performed by the working group for relief and rehabilitation under the direction of the DDMA.

8.6.2 Long-term recovery program: In case of rehabilitation plan, the level of damage that has taken place in the community decides whether long-term intervention is required or not and this phase does not start until after the emergency phase of the disaster has ended. Under this the government and the community will begin to rebuild and rehabilitate the dispersed community affected by the incidence of the disaster. In major disasters it may continue for years thus involves more funding than the emergency management phase. The strategies of the rehabilitation would depend considerably on the damage assessment report. A detailed survey of the community, which studies its needs and expectations in detail and seeks out their traditions and customs has to be carried out. This would serve as an input in deciding an intervention strategy that is acceptable to the community. The long-term plan seek an objective of achieving overall development and satisfying basic needs- shelter, economic and social of the community

DDMP Kullu Page 113

District Administration will constitute a committee to meet the technical requirements for disaster resilient housing in reconstruction. These members shall assist in multi hazard resilient design and techniques as well as monitor the entire process of reconstruction being incorporated in various schemes and developmental projects. Funds under schemes like MNREGA, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, SSA can be achieved, Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, National Rural Drinking Water Programme, can be used for reconstruction schemes and plans for developing hazard resistant construction and society.

CHAPTER: 9 FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP

Introduction

The Ministry of Finance, GoI, has allocated financial assistance for strengthening Disaster Management Institutions, capacity building and response mechanisms in the wake of natural calamities in accordance with the schemes of relief funds based on the recommendations of the successive Finance Commissions. Provision of the budgetary relief funds is dealt by Ministry of Finance, while the state governments request for the funds is done by the Ministry of Home Affairs (DM Division). Disaster Management Act, 2005 directs the constitution for the formation of the following funds at the national, state and district levels: Section 46 - Constitution of National Disaster Response Fund; Section 47- Constitution of National Disaster Mitigation Fund; Section 48 -Seeks to provide for the establishment of State & District Disaster Response Fund and Disaster Mitigation Funds; This was constituted in 2010 vide Letter No. 323/2010-NDM-1 dated 28th September, 2010 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (Disaster Management Division) and based on are based on the recommendations of the 13th Finance Commission. Section 49 -Seeks to enjoin upon every ministry or department of Government of India to make provision of funds in its annual budget for the purposes of carrying out the activities or programmes set out in its Disaster Management Plan

9.1 State

All State Government Departments, Boards, Corporations, PRIs and ULBS will prepare their DM plans including the financial projections to support these plans. The necessary financial allocations will be made as part of their annual budgetary allocations, and ongoing programmes.

9.1.1 State Budget / Plan funds The Commission allotted grant to the state of Himachal Pradesh during the fiscal cycle of 2010-15 for taking up “activities for building capacity in the administrative machinery for better handling of disaster risk response and for preparation of District and State level Disaster Management Plans (DMP) as envisaged in the Disaster Management Act (2005). The NCCF was merged into the NDR Fund and that of CRF into the SDR Fund At the recommendation of the Commission, the contribution to the SDR Fund should be shared between the Centre and States in the ratio of 75:25 for general category States and 90:10 for special category States.

9.1.2 State Disaster Mitigation Fund This fund will be constituted and made available to the SEC for meeting the expenses on mitigation activities.

9.1.3 State Disaster Response Fund This fund will be constituted and made available to the SEC for meeting the expenses for emergency response, relief and rehabilitation. The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued guidelines to

DDMP Kullu Page 116

the state for operation of SDRF. As per the recommendations of the 13th Finance Commission, the GoI had approved an allocation of Rs 33580.93 crore in the State Disaster Relief Fund to all the states, comprising of Rs 25847.93 crore as central share and Rs.7733.00 crore as state share for the period 2010-15 The share as of the above amount for the state of Himachal Pradesh was as under:

Table 63: Himachal Pradesh Allocation of State Disaster Response Fund State 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 Total (Rs. In crores) Himachal 130.76 137.3 144.17 151.38 158.95 722.56 Pradesh Source: Disaster Management in India, GoI

9.1.3.1 Chief Minister Relief Fund At the state level, a provision has been made to provide immediate support to the distressed people affected by the natural calamities, or road, air or railways accidents, under the Chief Minister Relief Fund.

9.1.3.2 Monitoring of Expenditure from Relief Funds The 13th Finance Commission has felt it advisable to keep an inventory of items such as lifesaving equipment and tents etc. with the NDRF for providing immediate relief. Commission has accordingly recommended an initial grant of Rs.250.00 crores, in form of a revolving fund to be provided to the NDRF for the above purpose. Whenever these items are used for responding to a calamity, the cost (or rent for those items that can be reused) should be booked to the overall cost of relief operations incurred by the state government and the inventory replenished on a regular basis.

9.1.3.3. Items and Norms of Assistance for Relief from NDRF and SDRF The Ministry of Home Affairs has prescribed items and norms of expenditure for relief operations. These norms are revised based on report of the expert group constituted by MHA which consults all the state governments and concerned central ministries/ departments. The present Items and Norms of assistance for relief may be visited www.mha.nic.in

9.2 District

9.2.1 District Disaster Mitigation Fund This fund will be constituted and made available to the District Disaster Management Authority for meeting the expenses on mitigation activities by the state and district as well. The mitigation funds shall be applied by the DDMAs for the purpose of mitigation as per the HP DM Rules, 2011.

9.2.2 District Disaster Response fund This fund will be constituted and made available to the District Disaster Management Authority for meeting the expenses for emergency response, relief and rehabilitation. The disaster response fund would be applied by the DDMA towards meeting expenses for emergency response, relief, rehabilitation in accordance with the guidelines and norms laid down by the Government of India and the State Government. Under this the DC requires pre- authorization to draw money from treasury in the event of an immediate emergency.

9.2.2.1 District Calamity Relief Fund DDMA Kullu shall constitute a District Calamity Relief Fund (DCRF) and the amount shall be raised purely from the General Public through donations. There would be a committee under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Kullu, to operate the funds. Once the fund is created, every year the DDMA Kullu, shall prepare reports on the utilization of fund, disasters faced in the previous financial year as well as potential programme planning for utilization of this fund.

9.2.3 District Planning fund 13th Finance Commission recommends for constituting alternative mechanism within districts to tackle disasters. District Kullu shall set apart 10 % of its developmental fund for disaster preparedness and mitigation measures. Every year, the annual allocation of 10 per cent would be like a relief for the administration to organize various disaster preparedness activities within the district. Similarly each line department in the district shall also allocate minimum 2 per cent to 10 per cent of its developmental fund with the same purpose of disaster preparedness and mitigation as set out in their Disaster management plans. As of now, no specific allocations are being made by the Government for disaster management, except in the cases of specific projects undertaken by any Ministry or Department. Financial mainstreaming of DRR concepts is necessary to entrench the need for disaster risk resilience within the main development agenda of the country.

9.3 Disaster Risk Insurance/ Transfer

Insurance and reinsurance mechanisms and products against natural and human made disasters have rapidly increased over the last decades for spreading the cost of losses both over time and over relatively large number of similarly exposed risks. The absence of disaster insurance means that the government has to bear a huge cost for compensation and rehabilitation work in post-disaster situations. New financial tools such as catastrophe risk financing, risk insurance, catastrophe bonds, micro-finance, contingent credit facilities and reserve funds, insurance etc., are being promoted with innovative fiscal incentives to cover such losses of individuals, communities, corporate sector and livestock. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), India has framed micro insurance regulations, covering insurance for personal accidents, health care for individual and family and assets like houses, livestock, tools and others. Similarly, Environmental Relief Fund under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, enacted for providing relief to chemical accident victims. Linkages with government insurance schemes like Rashtriya Swathya Bima Yojana, Aam Admi Bima

DDMP Kullu Page 118

Yojana can be extensively taken up for risk transfer including livestock insurance by animal husbandry department. . 9.4 Other Financing Options

9.4.1 Additional Financial Assistance Over and above the provisions of the SDRF, funding is also provided from NDRF in the wake of calamities of severe nature after being placed before the High Level Committee (HLC) for their consideration and approval of funds from NDRF. The composition of HLC is headed by Finance Minister with Home Minister, Minister for Agriculture and Vice Chairman of Planning Commission as its member on the committee.

9.4.2. Emergency procurement and accounting. As per Section 50 of the DM Act 2005 the financial provisions are as under: ‘Where by reason of any threatening disaster situation or disaster, the National Authority or the State Authority or the District Authority is satisfied that immediate procurement of provisions or materials or the immediate application of resources are necessary for rescue or relief, it may authorize the concerned department or authority to make the emergency procurement and in such case, the standard procedure requiring inviting of tenders shall be deemed to be waived’. A certificate about utilization of provisions or materials by the controlling officer authorized by the National Authority, State Authority or District Authority, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be a valid document or voucher for the purpose of accounting of emergency, procurement of such provisions or materials. Beside these the other financial schemes are under the Immediate Relief as per the Schedule of PLI Act, 1991, Capacity Building Grant, Prime Minister Relief Fund. DDMA in coordination with the departments will identify other financing options for restoration of infrastructure/livelihoods, like utilization of flexi fund within Centrally Sponsored Scheme for mitigation/restoration activities in the event of natural calamities in accordance with the broad objective of the Central Sector Scheme.

Introduction

The District Disaster Management Plan is the sum and substance of the Horizontal and the Vertical Disaster Management plans within the District. District Disaster Management Plan of Kullu is a public document which is neither a confidential document nor restricted to any particular section or department of Administration. The underlying principal of disaster management is that it has to be part of all departments and none can fold fingers against it.

10.1 Authority for maintaining & reviewing the DDMP

The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Kullu will update the DDMP annually and circulate approved copies to the entire stakeholder in Kullu District. DDMA, Kullu will ensure the planning, coordination, monitoring and implementation of DDMP with regards to the mentioned below clauses of the DM Act, 2005:  Section 31, Clause (4) of DM Act 2005, mentions that the District Plan shall be reviewed and updated annually.  As per sub-section (7) the District Authority shall, review from time to time, the implementation of the Plan and issue such instructions to different departments of the Government in the district as it may deem necessary for the implementation thereof.

10.2 Proper monitoring & evaluation of the DDMP

The purpose of monitoring and evaluation of DDMP is to determine the adequacy of resources, co-ordination between various agencies, community participation, partnership with NGOs and other entities, post-disaster evaluation mechanism, periodic uploading of resources on India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN) and conducting periodic mock drills. Half-yearly meeting will be organized by the DDMA under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner, Kullu to review disaster management activities in the state and updating the DDMP accordingly. All concerned departments and agencies have to participate and give recommendations on specific issues on Disaster Management and submit their updated reports quarterly.

10.3 Post-disaster evaluation mechanism for DDMP

The DDMA Chairman shall make special arrangements to collect data on a particular disaster irrespective of size and vulnerability. This post disaster evaluation mechanism shall be set up with qualified professions, experts and researchers and the collected data shall be thoroughly cross checked and documented in the EOC for further reference. The DDMA will evaluate the DDMP by conducting meetings and consultation with all stakeholders.

DDMP Kullu Page 120

10.4 Schedule for updation of DDMP:

Besides the above (2 and 3) procedure of updating, DDMP shall be updated by: 1. Regular data collection system set up at District Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) 2. Analysis and verification of data 3. Reviewing by Chairperson, DDMA 4. Updating and disseminating the updated plan

The updated data of DDMP will also be maintained at the DEOC website, ready for use in any situation under the supervision of DDMA, Kullu.

The Chairman, DDMA will ensure regular updation of the DDMP by consulting the nodal officers of the frontline departments who will update it on a biannual basis taking into consideration:-

 Inventory of equipment in the district (DDMRI),  Human Resources, their addresses and contact details (DDMRI),  Valuable inputs from actual disasters and updating Matrix of past disasters and HVCRA within the District  Major change in the operational activities and location through SOPs & Checklists  Lessons learnt from training, near-missed incidents  Inputs from mock drills/ simulation exercises  Changes in disaster profile  Technological developments/ innovations in identifying potential hazards  Updation of databases using new technologies like GIS  Change in demography of surrounding population  Changes in geo-political environment

DDMP Kullu Page 123

CHAPTER: 11 COORDINATION MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP

Introduction

The Coordination between District and Local governments is vital for the proper disaster management. It requires both inter departmental and intra departmental coordination with all the Stakeholding departments and local bodies like, HPPWD, I&PH, HPSEB, Health and Family Welfare, Fire and Home guards, Police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, Forest, Revenue, Education, Agriculture, Horticulture, HRTC, Red Cross, MC,NGO’s. CBO’s and other local authorities These partnerships recognize that each level of the disaster management arrangements must work collaboratively to ensure the effective coordination of planning, services, information and resources necessary for comprehensive disaster management.

11.1 Intra and Inter –Department Coordination with Horizontal Linkages

The State Disaster Management arrangements are based upon partnerships between State, District and Local governments. The DDMP of Kullu is a three tier disaster management coordination based on bottom to top approach i.e. local, district and state level. The tier system enables a progressive escalation of support and assistance.

Fig 20: Three tier disaster management coordination

The arrangements comprises of several key management and coordination structures. The principal structures that make up the arrangements are: a) Disaster management committee that operates at local, district and state level. The committee is responsible for planning, organizing, coordinating and implementing all measures required to mitigate, prevent, prepare, respond and recover from disasters.

DDMP Kullu Page 124

b) Emergency Operation Centers at local, district and state level that supports disaster management groups while coordinating information, resources, and services necessary for disaster operations. c) State government functional agencies, DDMA and DDEC, are responsible to coordinate and manage specific threats and provide support to district on and as required.

11.1.1 Arrangements at local level Within the arrangements, it is at the local level that manages disasters within their own communities. State and district levels are to provide additional resources, support, assistance and expertise as required. Local government is the key management agency for disaster events at local level. Local government achieves coordinated disaster management approach through Local Disaster Management committees. The members of the Local Committee must hold meetings at least once in every six months at particular time and place decided by the chairperson of the group. In addition, the chairperson of a Local Committee must call a meeting if asked, in writing, to do so by:  The District Authority for the disaster district in which the Local Committee is situated;  At least one-half plus one of the members of the Local Committee;  To help the Local government to prepare a local disaster management plan for its area;  To identify, and provide advice to the relevant District Authority about support services required by the Local Committee to facilitate disaster management and disaster operations in the area;  To ensure the community is aware of ways of mitigating the adverse effects of an event, and preparing for responding to and recovering from a disaster;  To manage disaster operations in the area under policies and procedures decided by the State Authority;  To provide reports and make recommendations to the relevant District Authority about matters relating to disaster operations;  To identify, and coordinate the use of resources that may be used for disaster operations in the area;  To establish and review communication systems in the Local Committee, and with the relevant District Authority and other Local Committees in the Disaster district of the relevant District Authority, for use when a disaster happens;  To ensure that information about a disaster in the area is promptly given to the relevant District Authority, and  To ensure risk management and contingency arrangements of essential and community services within the Local government area. Further information about the functions of the Local Authority may be found under sections 41 of the DM Act 2005

11.1.2. Arrangements at District Level Kullu District is divided into four sub divisions namely Anni, Banjar, Kullu and Manali. District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) Kullu coordinates disaster events within the district. There also exist a District Emergency Operation Centre which coordinates disasters at the local and the State level. DDMA should hold meeting at least once in every six months at particular time and place decided by the chairperson of the group or when the need is felt for calling a meeting as per the DM ACT 2005, section 27

DDMP Kullu Page 125

11.1.3 Arrangements at State level The responsibility for disaster mitigation and disaster planning and preparation at the State level lies with the SDMA for coordinating whole-of-government response and recovery. The frequency of meetings of the State Authority may be as and when felt necessary and at such time and place as the chairman of the State Authority may think fit . 11.1.4 Functional Department Arrangements Functional Departments are identified on the basis of their core functions, legislative and jurisdictional responsibilities for the preparation of appropriate department plans, which outline their detailed roles and responsibilities, and the level of support they agree to provide during times of disaster. Functional Department plan should be tabled and reviewed by the DEC annually. Further detail on department roles and responsibilities are detailed at Annexure XII. However, they are committed to support the State and Districts in developing their capacity for dealing with emergencies and disasters, and it provides physical assistance to State or Districts when they cannot reasonably cope during an emergency.

Fig 21: Inter- Department and Inter - Agency Coordination

11.1.4. Coordination of disaster operations Activation of the disaster management arrangements may occur when there is a need for:  Operational coordination to monitor potential threats or response operations.  Operational coordination to support response operations being conducted by a designated combat agency.  Coordination of resources in support of disaster response and recovery operations at local or district level, and

DDMP Kullu Page 126

 State-wide disaster response and recovery operations.

The Chairs of the respective Disaster Management Authorities can initiate activation of the arrangements at district and local level. The Chairman in consultation with the Chair of a Local Authority may request activation of that Local Committee based on risk assessment and potential community consequences. Advice of activation must be conveyed to the District Disaster Management Authority.

11.1.5. Information management and communication Efficient information management is essential for the successful management of a disaster. An efficient communication network is necessary between various disaster management agencies to ensure effective coordination of procedures and operations for preparedness, response and recovery plan. A well-coordinated network between the DEOC Kullu, and SEOC, Shimla needs to be developed alongside with the wireless, satellite phone and Ham Radio communication set ups within the district and at local levels for quick and effective communication from the bottom up and up-down disaster management. There should be a well-established network of DEOC with the Police control room, Medical, fire control rooms, etc. . 11.2 Coordination for disaster operations with NGO’S, CBO’s, SHG’s and other Institutions

There are a number of participants in a typical disaster relief operation. Participants may include; national government, local government, national and international humanitarian organizations, expert and volunteer rescue teams, third-party logistics providers, suppliers of goods used for disaster relief, and the affected people. The proactive approach in the DM Act 2005 to address disaster risk and vulnerability through pre-disaster preparedness and mitigation activities also envisage accountability and multi stakeholder participation, including coordination of the activities of the NGOs at various levels. Sections 30 (2) (xix) of the Act mandate the DDMA for collaboration with stakeholder agencies including NGOs for the purpose of improving the effectiveness of DM. Similarly the Act mandates NGOs to act in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner for the purpose of assisting or protecting the disaster affected communities or for providing relief to the affected communities or while dealing with any effects of threatening disaster situations and has fixed the responsibility to monitor this on DDMAs vide section 34 (l). The above provisions ensure that the concerned DM interventions being addressed are supported and facilitated by the civil society organizations working at the grass roots and also takes care of the ground realities. Section 30 (2) (xix) of the Act stipulates that the DDMA shall “advise, assist and coordinate the activities of the Departments of the Government at the district level, statutory bodies and other governmental and non-governmental organizations in the district engaged in disaster management” while Section 24 (l) lays down that the DDMA shall “ensure that the non-governmental organizations carry out their activities in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner”. The Act also directs the State Government under Section 38 (2) (a) to coordinate “actions of different departments of the Government of the State, the State Authority, District Authorities, local authority and other non- governmental organizations”. Sections 35 and 38 specifically emphasize the coordination of actions with NGOs. The National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM) also states the national vision for community mobilization and participation in DM and aims to provide momentum and sustenance through the collective efforts of all government agencies and NGOs. There is emphasis on community based

DDMP Kullu Page 127

disaster management, including last mile integration of the policy, plans and execution and early warning dissemination. There is a large scope for improving the engagement of NGOs in DM and on efficiently utilizing their unique advantages and core competencies by strengthening humanitarian coalitions, alliances and NGO networks. There is also need to strengthen public awareness, capacity building and knowledge management through CBOs and NGOs. These organizations can play crucial role in planning and preparedness through:  Mobilizing communities and in linking PRIs/ULBs with corporate actor entities for initiating DRR related activities.  The strong linkages which NGOs have with grassroots communities can be effectively  harnessed for creating greater public awareness on disaster risk and vulnerability, initiating  appropriate strategies for strengthening the capacity of stakeholder groups to improve disaster  preparedness, mitigation and improving the emergency response capacities of the stakeholders.  In addressing the emerging concerns of climate change adaptation and mitigation, NGOs can play a very significant role in working with local communities and introducing innovative approaches based on the good practices followed in other countries.  Organizing congregations and other cultural functions and in raising community consciousness on disaster preparedness.  Organizing awareness and skill development trainings on various aspects of disaster management  NGOs can bring in the financial resources from bi-lateral and multilateral donors for implementing pragmatic and innovative approaches to deal with disaster risk and vulnerability, by effectively integrating and converging the various government programmes, schemes and projects to create the required synergy in transforming the lives of at-risk communities.

11.3 Bilateral Organizations

Bilateral agencies play a major role in disaster management and work through government as well as NGOs and other partner agencies. They provide resources for preparedness, research, networking and institution development, relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation. In addition they can provide technical expertise and give support by mobilizing advanced rescue and evacuation teams from other countries during time of extreme emergencies. These organizations carry out responsibilities in coordination with the Government of the affected country, other donor Governments, international organizations, UN agencies and NGOs.

11.3. 1. Actions to be taken by the DDMA

 Developing a database of NGOs, CBOs and Faith Based organizations at all levels working in the field of disaster management.  Developing the capacity of identified NGOs, CBOs and organizations in disaster management  Constitution of Inter-Agency Group (IAG) for the district  Development of Criteria for membership of IAG

DDMP Kullu Page 128

It is must that regular meetings with all the stakeholders are held at least once in six months or a year. And all stakeholders are also associated in the mock drills to test their preparedness and clarity of roles and responsibility.

The primary responsibility for dissemination of plan is with the SEC. The SEC would involve state-level Training Institute HIPA and NGOs in awareness campaigns. The State DM Plan will be disseminated at three levels:  State line departments and defense services.  District authorities, government departments, NGOs and other agencies and institutions within the state, and  PRI’s and through mass media to the general public. The content of the plan is explained through well designed and focused awareness programmes prepared in the local language to ensure widespread dissemination. Media would be extensively used for public awareness programs and schools, colleges and other public institutions would be specifically targeted. This will include newspapers, TV, local cable networks, radio and publicity material

11.4.1 Plan Evaluation The purpose of evaluation of the state plan is to determine the adequacy of resources, coordination between various agencies, community participation, and partnership with NGOs. The plan will be updated when shortcomings are observed in the organizational structures, available technology, response mechanism following the lesson learnt reports on drills or exercises.

Guidelines for Disposal of Animal Carcasses

12.6.1. Guidelines for Burial

 Burial shall be performed in the most remote area possible.

DDMP Kullu Page 137

 Burial areas shall be located a minimum of 300 feet down gradient from wells, springs and other water sources.  Burial shall not be made within 300 feet of streams or ponds, or in soils identified in the country soil survey as being frequently flooded.  The bottom of the pit or trench should be minimum 4 to 6 feet above the water table.  Pits or trenches shall approximately be 4 to 6 feet deep. They should have stable slopes not steeper than 1 foot vertical to 1 foot horizontal.  Animal Carcasses shall be uniformly placed in the pit or trench so that they do not exceed a maximum thickness of 2 feet. The cover over and surrounding shall be a minimum of 3 feet. The cover shall be shaped so as to drain the runoff away from the pit or trench.  The bottom of trenches left open shall be sloped to drain and shall have an outlet. All surface runoff shall be diverted from entering the trench.  Burial areas shall be inspected regularly and any subsidence or cavities filled.

12.6.2. Guidelines for Composting

 Select site that is well drained, at least 300 feet from water sources, sinkholes, seasonal seeps or other landscape features that indicate hydrological sensitivity in the area.  Lay 24-inch bed of bulky, absorbent organic material containing sizeable pieces 4 to 6 inches long. Wood chips or hay straw work well. Ensure the base is large enough to allow for 2-foot clearance around the carcass.  Lay animal in the centre of the bed. Lance the rumen to avoid bloating and possible explosion. Explosive release of gases can result in odour problems and it will blow the cover material off the compositing carcass.  When disposing large amounts of blood or body fluid, make sure there is plenty of material to absorb the liquid. Make a depression so blood can be absorbed and then cover, if a blood spill occurs, scrape it up and put back in pile.  Cover carcass with dry, high-carbon material, old silage, sawdust or dry stall bedding (some semi-solid manure will expedite the process). Make sure all residuals are well covered to keep odours down, generate heat or keep vermin or other unwanted animals out of the window.  Let it sit for 4 to 6 months, then check to see if carcass is fully degraded.  Reuse the composted material for carcass compost pile, or remove large bones and land apply.  Site cleanliness is the most important aspect of composting; it deters scavengers, and helps control odours and keeps good neighbourly relations.

Note: Animals that show signs of a neurological disease, animals that die under quarantine and those with anthrax should not be composted.

12.7. Information and Media Management

Actions Responsibility Establish a media centre at EOC or Deputy Commissioner's office District PRO Designate Official Spokes Person Deputy Commissioner Prepare Press releases DPRO Decide on the time of press releases District PRO Decide on time and frequency of press conference DPRO Arrange for press conferences at the designated place and time DPRO Set up interaction times of media with senior officers District PRO Provide logistics support to the media during their visits to the District PRO disaster sites Scan media reports on disaster response and take necessary action District PRO

ANNEXURE II Climate Change and its Impact on Different Aspects in Kullu District

1 Melting of Glaciers Emission of large amount of carbon in environment in Kullu district is a cause of worry for glacial melting. An unusual retreat of the Parbati glacier in the Parbati river basin, Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh is reported. This is one of the largest glaciers in . the valley. Satellite data of 1990, 1998, 2000 and 2001 are used in the investigation and the study has shown that the glacier had retreated 578 m between 1990 and 2001, almost 52 m per year. The glacier is retreating in response to climatic warming (Kulkarni, June 10, 2005). 2 Rainfall and Water At present, the district is facing acute shortage of water as traditional water sources are either on the verge of extinction or have . Sources dried. These changes in the availability of water resources will have negative impact on overall economy of the district. Due to erratic rainfall drought conditions prevail. During the year 2009 the discharge of water sources is reduced by 10.15% in Kullu district. In the same year 332 habitations, two towns and 38460 rural populations was affected during summer season due to reduction in discharge of water sources (Singh et. al., 2010). A senior scientist at the GB Pant Institute of Himalayan Environment and Development said that temperature in the Kullu valley have risen by about point six degrees centigrade (Source: Voice of America, September 2013) 3 Agriculture The farmers in Kullu district are forced to abandon apple farming. The research shows that the apple belt was shifting upwards . due to climbing regional temperatures, making the lower parts of the valley unsuitable and the upper valley hospitable for the apple crop. Apple production in Kullu valley has significantly decline during the period 1981-2000. Another significant observation has been the shift in the cropping pattern from apple to pomegranate and vegetation cultivation i.e. area under apple is diverted to vegetable due to rising temperature. Overall decrease of about 2-3% in yield has been reported in Shimla, Kullu, Lahual and Spiti districts. Apple cultivator’s i.e. about 35,000 families of the valley perceives that over the years the amount of snowfall has decreased, and that it occurs later than before. The farmers in the district also look at climate change primarily in relation to the decrease in their apple production. Because of the change in snowfall the chilling hours for apple trees are reduced, affecting the time of its bud-break. In addition to direct impact of climate change on apple productivity, it has also aggravated infestation of some diseases and pests resulting in more losses. 4 Tourism Industry Tourism is a major economic activity in the district and any significant reduction in tourist arrivals will have serious . employment impacts and can generate further poverty. Retreating glaciers and snow melt on high Himalayan peaks is impacting tourism in Kullu especially in Manali. Tourists in the hill town of Manali in Kullu Valley thrive on the tourists who visit the place to escape the scorching heat of the Indian Plains. Research reveals that during season time there is traffic jam for four to six kilometres on Rohtang road which was not the same 20 years ago. While the tourism industry is flourishing on one side but on the other side the swelling number of vehicles on snow-capped mountains is a matter of concern. Some of the major tourist sites viz. Solang Valley, Manikaran, Naggar etc. are flooded with people and vehicles which pollute the place and gradually degrading the environment. DDMP Kullu Page 148

5 Economic Losses Due to physiographic conditions Kullu district is highly prone towards some of the major climate induced disasters like cloud . burst and resultant flash floods. These disasters lead towards tremendous loss of not only precious lives but also property worth crore’s. On 4th August 2012 flash flood wreaks havoc in Kullu (Manali area). The loss to roads, bridges and other property was estimated to about Rs. 8 Crore, including Rs. 5-7 crore loss incurred by the BRO and about Rs. 2 crore by the state (Source: Hindustan Times, August 04,2012).Glacial melt have major impact on long-term lean-season flows, with adverse impacts on the economy in terms of water availability and hydropower generation. 6 Depletion of Natural No less harm has been caused in the Kullu – Manali valley for depletion of natural resources is the alarming. Ecological Resources and problems in the mountains stem from the population increase; be it due to domestic or commercial imbalances of vegetation Man-Animal Conflict) dynamics or due to geo- disturbances accelerated by development activities. The buffer zone, marked for domestic needs between cultivated lands and natural forests, have been badly degraded and people are now frequently trespassing the reserve forests (Source: hp hill post, Jul 1, 2013). These changes are forcing animal to encroach human habitation which leads towards man-animal conflict. The clear impact of climate change on the forest cover is visible in the form of shifting of tree line to higher altitudes and movement of pine species to higher altitudes. 7 Environmental De-forestation, establishment of Hydro projects, tremendously increasing population and increase in vehicles and resultant Degradation harmful emission of gases leading to degradation of environment. Non-availability of warning system along the rivers for local people and tourists further increases their vulnerability.

ANNEXURE VIII

Procedure to Requisition Army and Air Force

1. It will be ensured by the local administration that all local resources including Home Guards, Police and others are fully utilized before assistance is sought from outside. The District Collector will assess the situation and project his requirements to the State Government. District Control Room will ensure that updated information is regularly communicated to the State Control Room, Defence Service establishments and other concerned agencies. 2. District Collector will apprise the State Government of additional requirements through State Control Room and Relief Commissioner of the State. 3. Additional assistance required for relief operations will be released to the District Collector from the state resources. If it is felt that the situation is beyond the control of state administration, the Relief commissioner will approach the Chief Secretary to get the aid from the Defence Services. Based on the final assessment, the Chief Secretary will project the requirement as under while approaching the Ministry of Defence, Government of India simultaneously for clearance of the aid.

Principles of Deployment of Armed Forces as below:  Judicious Use of Armed Forces: Assistance by Armed Forces should be requisitioned only when it becomes absolutely necessary and when the situation cannot be handled by the civil administration from within its resources. However, this does not imply that the response must be graduated. If the scale of disaster so dictates, all available resources must be requisitioned simultaneously.  Immediate Response: When natural and other calamities occur, the speed for rendering aid is of paramount importance. Under such circumstances, prior sanction for assistance may not always be forth coming. In such cases, when approached for assistance, the Army should provide the same without delay. No separate Government approval for aid rendered in connection with assistance during natural disaster sand other calamities is necessary.  Command of Troops: Army units while operating under these circumstances continue to be under command of their own commanders, and assistance rendered is based on task basis.  No Menial Tasks: While assigning tasks to troops, it must be rendered that they are not employed for menial tasks e.g. troops must not be utilized for disposal of dead bodies.  Requisition of Aid on Task Basis: While requisitioning the Army, the assistance should not be asked for in terms of number of columns, engineers and medical teams. Instead, the- civil administration should spell out tasks, and leave it to the Army authorities to decide on the force level, equipment and methodologies to tackle the situation.  Regular Liaison and Co-ordination: In order to ensure that optimum benefits are derived out of Armed Forces employment, regular liaison and coordination needs to be done at all levels and contingency plans made and disseminated to the lowest level of civil administration and the Army.  Advance Planning and Training: Army formations located in areas prone to disaster must have detailed plans worked out to cater for all possible contingencies. Troops should

DDMP Kullu Page 189

be well briefed and kept ready to meet any contingency. Use of the Vulnerability Atlas where available must be made.  Integration of all Available Resources: All available resources, equipment, accommodation and medical resources with civil administration, civil firms and NGOs need to be taken into account while evolving disaster relief plans. All the resources should be integrated to achieve optimum results. Assistance from outside agencies can be super imposed on the available resources.  Early De-requisitioning: Soon after the situation in a disaster-affected area has been brought under control of the civil administration, Armed Forces should be de-requisitioned.

ANNEXURE XI

Rapid Damage and Need Assessment Report

Levels of Disasters:

With the help of first-hand information or disaster communication system and remote sensing satellite information, the disasters have to be categorised into any of the following four levels. L0 level disaster: This is no disaster situation i.e. normal times when the disaster management system should be maintaining close watch over the district of preparedness. Mock drills at various levels have to be undertaken to check the preparedness. Earthquakes of magnitudes less than 5.0 may occur. Earthquakes of magnitude less than 5.0 and almost no area affected (generally non-damaging) and do not require much attention. However, effort should be made at local level to find out damage/loss if any and to take appropriate actions. This is the most important period of disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness when these activities are taken up actively. L1 level disaster: The L1 level disaster designated when earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5.0 and less than 6.0 occur. When reported from any quarter, necessary actions are set into action, without formal orders from anywhere, some basic initial management response steps alerting all concerned according to a predetermined procedure. Generally district administration should be able to manage earthquake disaster of this level.

L2 level disaster: L2 level disaster is designated when earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6.0 and less than 6.7 occur. This should entail triggering of some basic initial management response steps, which would be set into motion without any formal orders from any quarters. The mitigation, relief and rescue operation would swing into action simultaneously. The State Government likely to be involved in relief and response measures.

L3 level disaster: The L3 level disaster is designated when earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6.7 occur. Large scale deaths and destruction is likely to take place. The assistance of Central Government, its Agencies, NDRF and Armed Forces may be required to deal with the situation.
