District Disaster Management Plan Chhindwara Prepared by SEEDS Technical Services, 15a, Institutional Area, Sector 4, R.K.Puram, New Delhi With support from: District Administration, Chhindwara School of Good Governance & Policy Analysis, Government of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal 1 PREFACE We are pleased to present the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) of Chhindwara District. As we all know that Disaster management has become an Act now in the country and the Government has decided to make serious efforts to mitigate and manage disasters. The Disaster Management Act, 2005 stipulates to put in place Disaster Management Plans aimed at reducing potential loss of life and property in disasters as well as ensuring strong preparedness, responses and recovery measures to manage any disaster situation. Disasters either natural or manmade have been main hurdles in the development of civilization since ages and affect humanity on long term basis. This plan has been prepared with support from School of Good Governance and Policy Analysis (SGPA), the nodal agency identified by the Government of Madhya Pradesh and in consultation with district administration. The nodal agency SGPA evolved a very unique methodology for preparation of the district plans of Madhya Pradesh. The 50 interns were selected from reputed institutions for providing assistance in the preparation of 50 district disaster management plans of entire state, as part of their internship. SEEDS Technical Services was appointed as technical consultant for preparation of plans through bidding process. One intern was deputed in each district. Further, District Disaster Management Officer (DDMO) and Nodal Officer (of ADM rank or equivalent) were appointed by the Government, to provide the required support for the preparation of district disaster management plan. The orientation programmes conducted for the interns and DDMOs, to guide them for data collection and draft preparation of district DM plan, in template form. The DDMP template was discussed with all key stakeholders, including the Madhya Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority, UNDP, SGPA and with the local agencies like disaster management institute. Based on the inputs received from all concerned, including the valuable support and guidance of district administration and concerned officials, the draft plan was prepared, which was again reviewed and finalized after the consultation with all key stakeholders. The plan starts with the general overview and profile, institutional arrangements, talks about in detail about the district hazard, vulnerability, existing capacities, risk profiling and then switches over to disaster management framework as mandated by DM Act 2005, Section 31. The plan mandates the roles and functions to be played by the District Disaster Management Authority. Later the district action plan focuses on risk mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery & rehabilitation, general & specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), financial provisions, the inter- intra district coordination mechanism, and monitoring of plan. However the key functions of all the concerned agencies are listed out in the district Disaster Management plan, the regular updating of this DDMP shall help to initiate real time management. As such, each agency/ line department/ entity requires preparing its own Disaster Management Plan in alignment with this plan. This plan shall be reviewed periodically by the DDMA to update all activities and information. SEEDS Technical Services is thankful to all the agencies involved in providing support for preparation of district disaster management plan of Chhindwara district, including SGPA, MP-SDMA, UNDP, DMI, District Administration, and intern Saumya. This plan has been made possible with support of all these agencies. We hope that plan serves the purpose to ensure safety and well being of the citizens of the district.
