District Disaster Management Plan

Foreword

The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) outlining the measure to be taken in the event of any natural or man-made disaster during the year 2011-2012 has been prepared on the past experiences. The DDMP includes the facts and figures that have been collected from various sources with a view to meet the challenges during any Natural Disaster. The plan has been prepared with the viewpoint that Disaster Management Plan in a continuous process and it needs regular updation. The plan deals with Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis, identification of Disaster Prone Areas, Response Structures, Inventory of Resources, Standard operating procedures, Directory of Institutions and key individuals, etc. The plan is prepared to help the District Administration focus quickly on the essentials and crucial aspects of both preparedness and response It is hoped that the District level Officials who are in-charge of different departments will carefully go through the DDMP and remain alert to emergent situations that may arise in the course of the year. The DDMP seeks to serve as a useful handbook of operational guidelines for the Officers of the District Administration. It is expected that Field Officers working in Karbi Anglong District in the Department of Revenue, Agriculture, Rural Development, Health, Veterinary, Forest, Water Resource, PHE, PWD, Irrigation and other Department will thoroughly acquaint themselves with these guidelines. A word of caution may be mentioned, however, plans are useful and work only if they are updated and practiced through intensive mock exercises and simulations. I take this opportunity to thank all concern who has contributed in every way in preparation of the DDMP.

Chapter-1 Introduction

1.1 Background: A dangerous condition or events that threaten or have the potential for causing injury to life or damage to property or the environment is called Hazard. Hazards can be categorised in many ways. But based on their origin, worldwide they are basically grouped in two broad headings:- 1. Natural Hazard: Hazards with Meteorological, geological or even biological origin. 2. Un-Natural Hazard: Hazards with Human Caused or Technological origin. It is also important to know that Natural Phenomena are extreme Climatological, Hydrological or Geological processes that do not pose any threat to human or property. For example, a massive earthquake in an unpopulated area is a natural phenomena but not a hazard. It is when these natural phenomena interact with human population or fragile areas which cases wide spread damage. The population which are prone to these natural phenomena are called Vulnerable to hazards. A disaster is the output of a hazard such as earthquake, flood, landslide or cyclone coinciding with a vulnerable situation, which may include communities, cities or villages. Without vulnerability or hazard there is no disaster. A disaster happens when vulnerability and hazard meet. India is a vast country and is prone to many hazards. In the meantime India has experienced the disaster like tsunami in 2008, great earthquakes like Assam-1950, Gujarat- 1992, Sikkim-2011, Super cyclones of Orissa, unexpected flash flood of Mumbai ect. Considering such situation Government of India already has passed the Disaster Management Act on 23rd December, 2005 in the Parliament. After this Act, disaster is no more confined to any particular department rather it is confined to all departments. This act enables the state government to form disaster management authority at the state level and make it more effective and specific. Karbi-Anglong is one f the two hills districts in Assam and is prone to many hazards like Earthquake, Flash Flood, Landslide, and Cyclone along with manmade disasters like rail-road accidents, terrorism, riots ect. The District Disaster Management Authority, Karbi Anglong has been trying to visualize measures to mitigate disaster imparting training and awareness programmes including media and printed documents for public and Govt. Officials, by preparing disaster management plan for any kind of disaster. Planned and sustained development is one of the main feature of disaster management hence much more emphasize is given by the district administration to develop the district disaster management plan so that it will be more useful to handle disasters timely in future. Above all this plan will be a true guide to a disaster manager at district level, since it provides all necessary information regarding human resource, equipments and critical supplies required for effective and timely response to any critical situation.

1.2 Importance of multi hazard management plan:

Karbi-Anglong is a multi hazard district and it is vulnerable to hazards like earthquake, flash flood, landslide, Cyclone including manmade disasters like rail-road accidents, terrorism, riots ect. The weak geology, difficult terrain and arduous communication has made the district more vulnerable to hazards. So 2 the district plan has been designed as per the present need and the major strategies towards preparedness, mitigation, response, rehabilitation and development to any disaster. In the multi-hazard district plan, all the disasters will be handled properly following the given response mechanism like Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), use of resource inventory, keeping coordination with the line agencies and proper community based awareness activities. SOP of line departments is designed to make them alert. It highlights their role and responsibilities during, after and normal time of the disaster.

The main features of multi-hazard plan are:-

1. It gives importance to all the disasters equally and helps to mitigate the situation beforehand. 2. All the departments are assigned with their proper role and responsibilities, which are clearly indicated in the SOPs. 3. The District administration has to be alert round the year as disasters may occur anytime, anywhere in the district, irrespective of time and location.

Disaster Management Cycle:-

In multi-hazard response plan, the disaster management cycle has a significant role to play. The four stages of disaster cycle have their own importance in terms of their implementation during, after and before the occurrence of any disaster.

The Disaster Management Cycle

Pre-disaster or Risk Management Phase:-

Risk reduction activities, preparedness and mitigation come before disaster occurs. Preparedness and mitigation largely deals with the issues that reduce the risk of loss of life and property caused by the disasters by capacity building programmes. These activities take place during the normal time.

Post- Disaster or Crisis Management Phase:-

Response and recovery phases start after the occurrence of any disaster. Response basically deals with relief and rescue operations that take place immediately after disaster. Whereas, reconstruction and 3 rehabilitation includes in recovery phase and continues immediately after relief and rescue operations, till the life of people becomes normal.

1.3 Objectives of the plan:

The objectives behind the preparation of the District Disaster Management Plan is q To mitigate impact of natural and man-made disasters through preparedness at District, Block and Village level. q The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) helps to bring together the information related to equipments, skilled manpower and critical supplies available in the district. q It helps to know the standard operating procedures of various departments at the time of disaster. The role and responsibility of each and every line department as well as the officers can be detected at the time of disaster. q It helps the district administration to assess its own capacity in terms of available resources and get ready to mitigate any unexpected disaster effectively and to prevent the loss of human lives and property through preparedness, prevention & mitigation of disasters. q To assist the line departments, block administration, communities in developing compatible skills for disaster preparedness and management. q To disseminate factual information in a timely, accurate and tactful manner while maintaining necessary confidentiality. q To develop immediate and long-term support plans for vulnerable people in/during disasters. q To have response system in place to face any eventuality.

Chapter-2 District Profile

2.1 Location and Boundary:-

Karbi Anglong is one of the two hills district in Assam. The unit Mikir and North Cachar Hills was formally created on 17th November 1951 with some part of the district of Sivsagar (Now Golaghat), Nagaon, Cachar and United Khasi and Jayantia Hills district and present Meghalaya for all round development of the tribal folk of central Assam. This was followed by bifurcation of the erstwhile district of United Mikir and North Cachar Hills district into two separate district under the banner of Mikir Hills and North Cachar Hills district in the year 1970.The Mikir Hills district was again rechristened as 'Karbi Anglong ' district w.e.f. 14th October 1976. Thus Karbi Anglong came into being a fully fledged separate district in the map of Assam with its head-quarter at Diphu. The district enjoys autonomy under the provision of Sixth schedule of the Indian constitution. Karbi Anglong is the biggest district in Assam and is situated in the central part of Assam between latitude 25°33´ and longitude 92°10´ and 93°50´ East and altitude varies from 300 MSL in north and 1600 MSL in east and 75-150 MSL in valleys. The district shares its border with Golaghat district in the east, Meghalaya and Mizoram in the west, Nagaon and Golaghat district in the North and N.C. Hills in the south.

2.2 Area and Administrative division:-

The population of Karbi Anglong is predominantly tribal. The major tribal ethnic of this district are Karbis, Kukis, Bodos, Dimasas, Hmars, Garos, Rengmas, Nagas, Tiwas, Man (Tai Speaking).

2.4 Climate and Rainfall:-

Due to the wide variation in topography, entire district experiences different climate in different parts. During summer the atmosphere becomes sultry although the temperature ranges 22-36 degree Celsius in summer and 9-25 degree Celsius in winter. The winter commences from October and continues till February and temperature ranges from 9-25degree Celsius. The monsoon starts generally from mid May and continues till September. Though the average rainfall in the district is 1200 mm but it is not uniformly distributed, therefore, there is a wide range of disparity in distribution of rainfall from place to place. Kheroni & Amreng areas of Hamren sub-division and Dhansiri area of Diphu Sub-Division are known as rain shadow area. The area between Kheroni to Dhansiri receives less than 1000 mm rainfall.

2.5 Major Industries:-

The cement industry at Bokajan is the only major industry in the district. 6

2.6 Socio Economic Features (Agriculture and Irrigation):-

Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of the district and about 85% of the rural population directly depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The district has a medium to high cropping intensity and more intensive and diversified farming systems in comparison to the other zone. The major field crops are rice (Sali, and Ahu) Black gram, Aarahar, Lentil, Pea, Maize, Rape & Mustard, Wheat, etc. Horticultural crops include vegetables like Cole crops, Brinjal, Tomato, Potato, chilli, Cucurbits, Onion, Garlic, Turmeric, Ginger etc. Important plantation crops are Areca nut, Coconut, Bamboo etc. Banana, pineapple, litchi, citrus etc. are major commercially cultivated fruit crops of the district. Rain fed farming is generally followed by the farmers and only approx 2% of the cultivated area is brought under irrigation through canal, lift irrigation and S.T.W. There are a few natural Beels where fish grows naturally and generally fish cultivation is done in community tanks or ponds and low lying areas. Cattle, goat, pig and poultry are the major livestock of the district. However, there has been considerable yield gap in both agriculture and allied sectors due to gap in adoption of scientific technology. The infrastructure facilities like supply of input, marketing, institutional credit and extension services are still inadequate. Gradual degradation of natural resources such as soil and water is also noticed due to adoption of inappropriate agricultural practices. Therefore, conservation of these resources needs to be prioritized through adoption of sustainable land use system

Chapter-3 Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis

This chapter largely deals with the disasters that Karbi Anglong has experienced. Based on this, the vulnerability assessment of people and their income sources, infrastructure, crops, livestock resources, drinking water supply, daily necessities, communication and transportation system, public distribution, medical facilities and other elements has been done so that such elements can be safely shifted to, or to be taken care of before any unexpected disaster or during the disasters. This is the most important part of the plan. Vulnerability assessment deals with the socio-economic vulnerability, housing vulnerability and environmental vulnerability.

Under East Division, Diphu: The area Silimkhowa, Jokhalabandha, Gagori, Kuthori, Kohora is affected by flood inundating around 80 sq. Km of area. The animals from Kaziranga National park are affected by flood and they come across the human habitation causing harm to the human population. Many animals also die in flood and by human attack. Elephant depression in human habitant area during flood is a common phenomenon in this area. 14

A-10 Map of Flood Prone areas in Karbi Anglong. 15

(B) Earthquake: Karbi Anglong has not experienced any major earthquake yet except few mild tremors occasionally. But the entire district is very much vulnerable to earthquake due to its weak geography and fragile geomorphology being in the most dangerous Seismic Zone i.e. Zone (V). The difficult terrain and arduous communication has made it hazardous to earthquake. The whole district is sitting on the bed of limestone and hence very fragile. The soil is very much unstable here and hence needs special attention to structures and constructions. It is to mention here that about 98% of P.W.D. buildings are Assam Type and only 2% are RCC buildings in the district. (C) Landslide: Though the district has no past history of landslide it is vulnerable to landslide due to its weak soil structures. Road erosion and road dumping is a common phenomenon in the district and normal life is distorted due to communication. Further many road accidents takes place due to the road dumping cases.

(D) Drought: Drought was once experienced by the district in the year 2009 and the farmers had to bear heavy loss. The production was very low and the district administration had to distribute relief material and seed to the affected population. The whole district is vulnerable to draught and as no such natural water reservoir is there in the district from where the water can be irrigated. Again the irrigation system is also very poor in the district and only 13,461 Ha of total crop field is connected with irrigation facilities. (E) Cyclone: Being a hilly place the district is vulnerable to seasonal cyclone between the months March-May. The entire district may face destruction due to cyclone like uprooting of trees, devastation of houses, communication distortion, damage to the paddy fields ect. (F) Rail-Road Accidents: National Highway 36 and 37 covers the district and the district is connected from headquarter Diphu to the Golaghat District, Dimapur, Lumding, Guwahati, Nagaon, Jorhat, and Tezpur. Due to the weak soil structure the roads in the district gets easily eroded or dumping occurs on 16 the roads. Again the places are hilly and driving here is not easy, hence the district is vulnerable to road accidents and the road side population is more prone to accidents. The N.F. Railway passes through the district and touches the boundary of the district. As there are many militant groups in the district the railway need protection along some part of the district. The identified vulnerable portion is as below: F-1 Vulnerable portion of Railway Tracks and Requirement of Home Guards:

Sl No Vulnerable portion of Railway Railway Km Requirement of Home Guard 1 Diphu to Nilalong 10 Km & 22 Km from Lumding GRPS 2 Dhansiri to Rangapahar 8 Km & 55 Km from Lumding GRPS 35 nos 3 Daldali to Dhansiri 5 Km to 50 Km from Lumding GRPS 4 Diphu to Daldali 13 Km to 45 Km from Lumding GRPS 5 Khatkhati 208/ 4-5 Km & 9 Km from Bokajan GRPS 6 Chungajan 282/ 6-7 Km & 7 Km from Bokajan GRPS 7 Naojan 287/ 0-1 Km & 14 Km from Bokajan GRPS 15 nos 8 Sarupathar 297/ 2-3 Km & 22 Km from Bokajan GRPS 9 Borpathar 306/ 7-8 Km & 32 Km from Bokajan GRPS 10 Baligaon 316/ 5-6 Km & 46 Km from Bokajan GRPS (G) Other Manmade disasters: The district has already experienced a series of ethnic clashes, riots, terrorist attack, bomb blast in the past with heavy loss of life and property. Again the district shares boundaries with Meghalaya and Nagaland state which increases the vulnerability of the border areas. There are 10 nos of border out post in the district to look after the situation and more focus is needed to tackle any unwanted situation. (H) Elephant Depression: Due to deforestation in the areas like Chowkihola, Deithor, Katkhati, Lahorijan elephant come down in search of food and shelter and create havoc among the human habitation of these areas. Around 100 Sq. Km area is affected by Elephant Depression in this area. The forest department (East Division), Diphu has made arrangement for patrolling party in these areas for monitoring elephant movement. 17

Chapter-4 Institutional Mechanism

4.1 The District Disaster Management Authority: The disaster management will be more effective and sustainable if it is institutionalised. For this purpose Government of India has already passed Disaster Management Act on 23rd December, 2005, where it is clearly outlined that a Disaster Management Authority to be formed at the district level. It will be the apex body at the district level. Disaster management would involve many layers of participating organization. The three focal levels would be State, District and the site of the disaster. The State level agencies would be involved in policy/decisions making, resource and budget allocation and monitoring through the State Emergency Operations Centre. Similarly, at district level a District Disaster Management Authority is already formed for Karbi Anglong district and activated to mitigate any unexpected situation in the district. There are seven members included in this authority.

Sl. No. Name & Designation Position 1 Deputy Commissioner Chairperson 2. Chief Executive Member , KAAC or his representative Co-Chairperson 3. Additional Deputy Commissioner (i/c DM Branch) Chief Executive Officer 4. Superintendent of Police, Diphu Member 5. Joint Director of Health Services & Family Welfare(C.M.O) , Diphu Member 6. Executive Engineer PWD(R), Diphu Member 7. Executive Engineer, Water Resources, Diphu Member

The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) is the apex planning body and executes all the preparedness and mitigation activities in the district. The district level response is co-ordinated under the guidance of the Deputy Commissioner, who acts as a District Disaster Manager. The District Disaster Management Authority for Karbi Anglong is Chaired by the Deputy Commissioner and Co-Chaired by Chief Executive Member, KAAC (Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council). All the line departments of the district work altogether under the authority towards Disaster Management. All the line departments has their own contingency plan for any disaster situation in the district and respond to such situation in co-ordination with the District Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Management Plan. The disaster management plan has been expanded up to the Sub divisional and Revenue Circle level in Karbi Anglong. The Block level and the village level plan is yet to come up and will be covered up within a short period. 4.2 District Control Room: The District Control Room, under the control of the Deputy Commissioner, will be the nerve centre for information flow and communication. It has been set up to monitor, co-ordinate and to implement the actions for disaster management 18

It works throughout the year and guides the various departments to work as per the directions during the disaster. 4.3 Co-ordination Structure at District Level:-

Deputy Commissioner

Addl. Deputy Commissioner (Relief)

(District Control Room)

Line Departments Like: Police, P.W.D., P.H.E, Agriculture, Water resource, Health Site Operation Centres Services, Fire Service, Home Assistant Revenue Officers and BDOs Guards, Civil supply etc.

Transit Camp Health Camp Feeding Camp Relief Camp Cattle Camp

4.4 Communication Mechanism: On the basis of reports from the possible disaster site, or on the warning from the agencies competent to issue such a warning, or on the receipt of warning or alert from Emergency Operations Center, the Deputy Commissioner will exercise the powers and responsibilities of the District Disaster Manager.

The list of the agencies competent for issuing warning or alert is given below:

Sl No Disaster Agencies 1 Earthquake Geological survey of India (Shillong) 2 Flood Water Resource Department, North East Space Application Center (Shilling, Umiam), Central Water Commission. 3 Cyclone Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) 4 Epidemics Health Services 5 Manmade Disaster Police Department, Fire Service

The warning or occurrence of disaster will be communicated to: Ø The Chief Secretary to the Govt. of Assam, Dispur. Ø The Commissioner of Hills and Barak Valley Division, Assam, Dispur. Ø The Principal Secretary to the Govt. of Assam, Revenue and DM Department, Assam, Dispur 19

Ø The C.E.O., ASDMA, Assam, Dispur. Ø The Principal Secretary, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, Diphu Ø All concerned officials of the line departments of the district.

The occurrence of the disaster would essentially bring into force the following:

1. The Deputy Commissioner will activate the District Control Room as the District Disaster Manager. 2. All district level staff from various departments will be under the direction and control of the District Disaster Manager. 3. Leave of all the officers and the staff working with the above organizations, as requisitioned by the District Disaster Manager, would automatically stand cancelled and the organizations would direct their staff to report on duty immediately. 4. The District Disaster Manager may in case of large-scale disasters get in touch with the local Defense units for assistance for rescue, evacuation and emergency relief measures. 5. The District Disaster Manager will have the authority to requisite resources, materials and equipments from the private sector. 6. The District Disaster Manager will have the power to direct the industry to activate their on-site or off-site disaster management plan. 7. The District Disaster Manager will set-up Site Operation Center/s in the affected area with the desk arrangements. 8. The District Disaster Manager will authorize establishment of transit and /or relief camps, feeding centers and cattle camps. 9. The District Disaster Manager will authorize immediate evacuation whenever necessary. 10. In the event of possibilities of the disasters in the adjoining districts, including those beyond the state borders, the District Disaster Manager will issue the alert warning to them.

4.5 The Site Operation System during Disaster:

Depending on the nature of disaster and the type of damage, it may be necessary to set up a number of relief camps and/or cattle camps. In such a situation, the DDMA may decide to set-up a Site Operations Center (SOCs) to reduce the pressure on District Control Room for field coordination. Depending upon the disaster locations and the number of campsites, the DDMA may decide to set- up more than one Site Operations Center. The Site Operations Center and the camps would be wound up after the relief and rehabilitation work is called off or after the relief camps and cattle camps are dismantled, whichever is later. 20

Chapter-5 Preparedness and Mitigation

In disaster management cycle, preparedness and mitigation are the two important stages before the occurrence of disaster. It has a great importance in reduction of loss of life and property.

5.1 Preparedness:

This protective process embraces measures which enable governments, communities and individuals to respond rapidly to disaster situations to cope with them effectively. Preparedness includes the formulation of viable emergency plans, the development of warning systems, the maintenance of inventories and the training of personnel. It may also embrace search and rescue measures as well as evacuation plans for areas that may be at risk from a recurring disaster. Preparedness therefore is the state of readiness to deal with a threatening disaster situation or disaster and its consequences. All preparedness planning needs to be supported by appropriate legislation with clear allocation of responsibilities and budgetary provisions.

5.2 Mitigation:

Mitigation refers to all actions taken before a disaster to reduce its impacts, including preparedness and long-term risk reduction measures. Mitigation activities fall broadly into two categories: 1 Structural mitigation - construction projects which reduce economic and social impacts. 2 Non-structural activities - policies and practices which raise awareness of hazards or encourage developments to reduce the impact of disasters. Mitigation includes reviewing building codes; vulnerability analysis updates; zoning and land-use management and planning; reviewing of building use regulations and safety codes; and implementing preventative health measures. Mitigation can also involve educating businesses and the public on simple measures they can take to reduce loss or injury, for instance fastening bookshelves, water heaters, and filing cabinets to walls to keep them from falling during earthquakes. Ideally, these preventative measures and public education programmes will occur before the disaster.

5.3 Preparedness and Mitigation measures:

5.3.1 General Preparedness Measures: 1. Establishment of the Control Rooms

The district administration is focusing to ensure the round the clock operation of the control rooms in the district. The control rooms are presently run by major line departments at Revenue, Police, Water Resource, Fire Service, Hospital level and our endeavour is to make it functional at Block and Village level.

2. Plan Updation

Disaster Management Plan needs updation at every interval. It includes the skilled manpower, their addresses and contact numbers, necessary equipments, medicinal stock, daily necessities, list of flood prone villages etc. All these things have to be updated after a certain interval of time. The DDMA Karbi Anglong has decided to update the plan on half yearly basis. 21

3. Training for Govt. Officials and Disater Management Team Members:

The Govt. Officials of the line departments of the district should be updated on various aspects of disaster management by organizing regular training programmes for the officials. DDMA, Karbi Anglong visualizes to impart various training programme for the Govt. Officials and the members of various Search & Rescue teams in the district to increase efficacy at the time of need.

4. Organization of Mock Drills:

Mock drill is an integral part of the Community based disaster management plan, as it is a preparedness drill to keep the community alert. Mock drills are planned at various level of the community to keep the community updated and active. Mock drill should be organized once in six months as per the seasonality calendar of natural disaster events that is likely to occur.

6. Communication:

During disaster communication plays a vital, role in reducing the loss of life and property. For effective and proper communication DDMA has to develop a strong communication system and an inventory of contact numbers of all the concern persons up to the village level has to be prepared. DDMA, Karbi Anglong has set up a control room for any emergency situation and it is equipped with the important contact numbers of the officials of the district which is updated on regular interval of time. Accordingly the other departments like Police, Fire, Medical; Water Resource has also developed their control rooms. DDMA envisage to develop a wireless network within the district up to the village level for better communication in future as when disaster strikes all the present communication systems like mobile network, landline, internet, rail-road network go down.

5.3.2 Preparedness Measures of the line departments and Circles: 1. Donka Revenue Circle: Preparedness for Flood: The Donka revenue circle is highly affected by flood each year and it is hazardous to earthquake and landslide also. The preparedness measures taken by the circle is as follows: 1. A list of total affected areas (Mouza wise) along with the total number of affected population and houses has been prepared to assess the situation during disaster. (List 3.2. A.1.1; page-12) 2. List of shelter places along with High Land for Relief camps has been prepared. (Annexure-3 & 4) 3. List of High Land for cattle shelter is been identified as :- Under East Rongkhang Mouza:- Embankment of Kopili river Under West Rongkhang Mouza:- Chekson Pahar, Longbui Pahar, Longre Pahar. Under Duar Amla Mouza:- Sinani Reserve Forest. 4. Estimated Requirement of Boats for Rescue & Relief operations:- Sl No Area Village Name Requirement of Boat Available To be Procured 1 East Rongkhang Mouza Bohapi, Kawaimari, Khandajan None 3 2 West Rongkhang Mouza Longre, Hongkram None 3 4 Duar Amla Mouza Tharve-Abi, Kharu Pindha, None 4 Dalimbari, Hatigarh, Voksong. 22

At least 10 nos of country boats and 4 nos of machine boats are required to combat flood in these areas. DDMA, Karbi Anglong look forward to meet the arrangement in near future. The boats will be kept under the custody of the Sarkari Gaon Budhas of the area concerned. Main concern in this area is the incomplete repairing of the Embankment of the River Kopili at Bi-Lokso village. So special preparedness measures are to be taken to cope up with any disaster situation in this area. Water resource department is taking special care to tackle the situation before any further deterioration. 2. Police department: - (Diphu Police District) The police department of Diphu Police District has prepared a plan to provide systematic way of responding to any disaster/emergency situation. In this regard immediate identification of emergency situation, detailment of officers, use of resources, Government bodies responsible for responding and establishment of emergency. 2.1 As a preparedness measure the police department has constituted the following teams with their personnel available in the district. 1. Law and order team 2. Search and Rescue team 3. Rehabilitation and capacity building team 4. Quick response Team. All these teams have been absorbed in the respective teams formed by the district disaster management authority with their roles and responsibilities being the same in co-ordination with the other members from other line departments.

2.2 Police Control room:- The Police control room is well equipped with VHF (very High Frequency) sets and it works round the clock and is well prepared for dissemination of any information and hence respond to it. Police control room- 03671-272594 & 9435538841.

2.3 List of search & Rescue equipments and available resources (man power) has been prepared.

2.4 For effective response during any emergency the district has been divided into three zones and 14 sectors; viz. - Diphu zone, Bokajan Zone and Howraghat Zone.

Sectors:- Diphu, Borlanghar, Manja, Dillai, Bokajan, Khatkhati, Borpathar, Chowkihola, Bokulia, Howraghat, Dokmoka, Samelangso, Rongmongwe and Angjokpani. The officers in charge of each P.S. will remain In Charge of the sector in their respective PS areas. The concerned I.C. of the OP under the PS will remain as sub- sector in their respective OP areas and will assist the concerned sector officer.

3. P.W.D. (Roads) Diphu Division:

As a preparedness measure P.W.D. (Roads) Diphu Division has prepared a map of the division with all connecting roads illustrating the vulnerable areas under the division. For better preparedness and for emergency road clearance the department has prepared a list of equipments which are necessary at the time of disaster. 23

Chapter-6 Response Plan

The aim of emergency response is to provide immediate assistance to maintain life, improve health, and to support the morale of the affected population. Such assistance may range from providing specific but limited aid, such as assisting refugees with transportation, temporary shelter, and food, to establishing semi- permanent settlement in camps and other locations. It also may involve initial repairs to damaged infrastructure. The focus in the response phase is on meeting the basic needs of the people until more permanent and sustainable solutions can be found.

6.1 Aims of disaster response:

The overall aims of disaster response are: n To ensure the survival of the maximum possible number of victims, keeping them in the best possible health in the circumstances. n To re-establish self-sufficiency and essential services as quickly as possible for all population groups, with special attention to those whose needs are greatest: the most vulnerable and underprivileged. n To repair or replace damaged infrastructure and regenerate viable economic activities. To do this in a manner that contributes to long term development goals and reduces vulnerability to any future recurrence of potentially damaging hazards. n In situations of civil or international conflict, the aim is to protect and assist the civilian population, in close collaboration with National and International agencies. n In cases involving population displacements (due to any type of disaster) the aim is to find durable solutions as quickly as possible, while ensuring protection and assistance as necessary in the meantime.

6.2 Disaster Response Activities:

6.2.1 Warning: Warning refers to information concerning the nature of the danger and imminent disaster threats. Warnings must be rapidly disseminated to government officials, institutions and the population at large in the areas at immediate risk so that appropriate actions may be taken, namely, either to evacuate or secure property and prevent further damage. The warning could be disseminated via radio, television, the written press, telephone and PA system, VHF equipments and cell phone. For early warning the DDMA has formed an Early Warning Team for the district and will be responsible for dissemination of warning at the receipt or declaration of emergency. 30

Chapter-9 Monitoring, Evaluation and Fund

The existence of a Disaster-preparedness plan plays a vital role during Disasters. The officials then have at their hand, a complete set of instructions which they can follow and also issue directions to their subordinates and the affected people. This has the effect of not only speeding up the rescue and relief operations, but also boosting the morale of affected people. Disaster plan is also useful at pre-disaster stage, when warnings could be issued. It also proves as a guide to officials at the critical time and precious time is saved which might otherwise be lost in consultations with senior officers and getting formal approval from the authorities. Keeping all these points in mind the DDMP must be evaluated and updated by the district administration in normal time. 9.1 Plan Evaluation: The purpose of evaluation of DDMP is to determine Ø The adequacy of resources Ø Co-ordination between various agencies Ø Community participation Ø Partnership with NGOs The plan will be updated when shortcomings are observed in Ø Organizational structures Ø Technological changes render information obsolete Ø Response mechanism following reports on drills or exercises Ø Assignments of state agencies Individuals and agencies assigned specific responsibilities within this Plan will prepare appropriate supporting plans and related standard operating procedures, periodically review and update alerting procedures and resource listings, and maintain an acceptable level of preparedness. 9.2 Plan Update: The DDMP is a "living document" and the Deputy Commissioner along with all line departments will update it every year taking into consideration Ø The resource requirements Ø Update of human resources Ø Technology to be used Ø Co-ordination issues A half yearly or annual conference for DDMP update will be organized by the Deputy Commissioner. All concerned departments and agencies would participate and give recommendations on specific issues. The plan is handy and precise. It is so designed that it will definitely help the officials to take quick actions during the disaster. 56
