DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN - 2019

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 1

Foreword

I am pleased to present the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) of Sri Muktsar Sahib 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

Natural disasters like Desiliting, Floods, Earth Quake, Fire accidents, Road accidents, Hailstorm, Drought etc. affect life and environment. Past experiences in Sri Muktsar Sahib District shows that each disaster situation throws up a new set of challenges which the Government agencies have to deal with.

This plan has been prepared as per the guidance provided by the National Disaster Management Authority and mandates the roles and functions to be played by the District Disaster Management Authority. Disaster Management, by its very nature, requires a multidisciplinary approach and hence, a strong coordination mechanism forms the core of successful management. This plan outlines the functions of the principal coordination aimed namely the Sri Muktsar Sahib District Disaster Management Authority and the support functions to be performed by the line departments as well as the SDMA. However District Disaster Management Authority functions are listed out for the line departments. Regular Updation of this DDMP shall help to initiate real time management. As such, each line department 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. I hope this plan serves the purpose

Executive Summary

The Disaster Management Act, 2005 (DM Act, 2005) lays down institutional and coordination mechanisms for effective Disaster Management (DM) at the National, State, and District levels. As mandated by this Act, the Government of India (GOI) created a multi-tiered institutional system consisting of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister, the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) headed by the Chief Minister and the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) headed by the Deputy Commissioner and co-chaired by elected representatives of the local authorities of the respective districts. These bodies have been set up to facilitate the paradigm shift from the hitherto relief centric approach to a more proactive, holistic and integrated approach of strengthening disaster preparedness, mitigation and emergency response.

A typical Disaster Management continuum as shown below, comprising of six elements i.e. Prevention, Mitigation and Preparedness in pre-disaster phase, and Response, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in post-disaster phase, defines the complete approach to Disaster Management.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 7

Punjab is prone to multi-hazards that include natural disasters such as Earthquakes, Fire, Flood and drought and other disasters that include the usage of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons, terrorist threats, human epidemic (Dengue, Plague) and genetically developed (SARS).

As per Section 25 of the DM Act, District Sri Muktsar Sahib has set up its District Disaster Management Authority as the planning, coordinating and implementing body for all disaster related activities in the District.

District Sri Muktsar Sahib has its District Disaster Management Plan as mandated by Section 31 of the said Act. This Plan includes certain most important concepts and approaches like significance of a District Disaster Management Plan for Sri Muktsar Sahib as well as detailed profile of the district are coming in the first two chapters. The vulnerability and hazard situation and capacity available to face a disaster are elaborately described in the third chapter. Some other important discussions in this plan are the present institutional mechanism of disaster management; Mitigation plan, Standard Operation Procedures and action plan for the Emergency Support Functions. This document concludes with chapters on additional information required for better disaster management. Mostly it contains the resource inventory of the district, emergency contact number, Performa for data collection, check list and many more. Besides, this plan also provides an exclusive list of schools in the district, various associations in the district and other such information required a disaster situation.

1. INTRODUCTION

The increase in the frequency of disasters and their associated damages in the region is part of a worldwide trend, which results from growing vulnerability and may reflect changing climate patterns. These trends make it all the more necessary for the regions to break the cycle of destruction and reconstruction and address the root causes of vulnerability, rather than merely treating its symptoms when disasters happen.

India is also one such country whose great vulnerability to natural disasters is not unknown, with 65% of its land area vulnerable to earthquakes, 8% to cyclones, 12% to floods and 70% to droughts, more than 1 million houses are damaged annually in India and above them are the human and social losses that go unaccounted for. The super cyclone in Orissa in October 1999 killed 10,000 people and destroyed 18 lakh houses; Gujarat Earthquake of January, 2001 measuring 6.9 on Richter scale shook the very edifice of our system. More than 3.5 lakh houses collapsed across 7633 villages and cities, causing unprecedented damage. Death and destruction it caused was never seen ever before. Floods havoc in Punjab in 1988, 1995, 2008, 2010 resulting in huge economic losses and environment degradation. An average of about 4344 people lost their lives and about 30 million people were affected by disasters every year. The loss in terms of private, community and public assets has been astronomical. These and many more paint the picture of a cycle of destruction that affects our country and over and again leave us bereft of the small and yet so significant development strides we make with so lots of effort.

The Disaster Management Act 2005, Section 2, defines "Disaster" as a catastrophe mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from either natural or manmade causes or by accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human suffering, or

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 9

damage to and destruction of property or damage to or degradation of environment, and is of such a nature or magnitude as to hg beyond the copying capacity of the affected area. In a simple sense, Disaster is when a hazard leads to loss of livelihood aspects on a large scale

Disaster Management' is defined as a continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or expedient to prevent danger or threat of any disaster, mitigation or reduce the risk or severity or consequences of any disaster, capacity-building and preparedness to deal with any disaster, prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster, assessing the severity or magnitude of effects of any disaster, evacuation, rescue and relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction

The difference between hazard and disaster can best be explained with the help of an example. For instance in Japan, the occurrence of earthquake is higher than in India whereas the number of deaths and losses occurring due to earthquake is incomparably higher in India. For example, on January 12th 2007, there was an earthquake of 8.00 Richter scale in Japan and it caused only 1 death and a very few injuries. Where as in Gujarat (India) an earthquake at 6.9 Richter scale on January 26th 2001, caused a massive loss of lives, livelihood and properties. Billions of international loans and national support have been invested but even now, recovery has not been fully made. The reason for such a difference between Japan and India lies PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE. The communities in Japan know that they are equally responsible for recovery and response. Now earthquake is no more disastrous for them. It is a hazard that cannot be predicted but which at the same time cannot lead to colossal damage.

It is thus imperative that we must move in the direction of a proactive stance to reduce the toll of disasters in the region. It requires a more comprehensive approach that encompasses both "Pre-Disaster Risk Reduction" and "Post-Disaster Recovery

District Disaster Management Plan is one component within the framework of a holistic approach to reduce the impact of disasters. Planning in a Pre-disaster phase helps us be prepared for a post-disaster situation wherein resources can be adequately deployed and thus loses can be minimized

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 10

1.1 Need for Planning

DDMA is the Apex Body for Disaster Management in District Sri Muktsar Sahib, The setting up of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), headed by the Deputy Commissioner of the DDMA and the creation of an enabling environment for institutional mechanisms at the State and District levels is mandated by the Disaster Management Act, 2005.

District Sri Muktsar Sahib is located in the south-western part of Punjab and falls in the south-west of Malwa region. The latest seismic map of the county, Sri Muktsar Sahib falls under Zone II1, which means it is vulnerable to multi hazards, especially for desilting of land, Earth Quake and floods. Some of the common disasters in District could be listed as regular and increased number of fire hazards, seasonal flood situation, explosion of LPG cylinders causing multi injury, death and loss of property, Incidences of death caused by stray cattle, Health hazards, Rail and Road Accidents, increases number of cancer patients. The details of the various kind of hazards and vulnerabilities of district towards each of them has been discussed in detail in Chapter No -3 from which it could be inferred that the situation is alarming and calls for immediate attention of the district administration and disaster managers .

The present study i.e. District Disaster Management Plan is an assessment of the existing situation with strategies to improve it over the years. It may serve as a guidebook for district administration to take measures to reduce the vulnerabilities of areas under its jurisdiction and improve the capacities of its people. It may also provide an inventory of resources that can be tapped in wake of a crises situation and thus help the administration cope in a better manner.

1.2 Changing Context of Disaster Management

Till recently, the approach to Disaster Management has been reactive & relief relief centric. A paradigm shift has now taken place at the national level from the relief centric syndrome to holistic and integrated approach with emphasis on prevention, mitigation & preparedness. These efforts are aimed to conserve developmental gains as also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and property. Preparation of this document is a milestone of district Sri Muktsar Sahib in disaster management initiatives. This document, the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP), is a ready reference guide and manifesto of disaster management in district as well as an imperative for the sustainable development of the District.

1.3 Objective of Planning :

EMPOWERING STAKEHOLDERS FOR IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN DISTRICT.

The following are the objectives for preparation of the district level disaster management plans according to DM Act:

* To identify the various hazards and hazard prone areas of the District.

* The measures to be taken for prevention and mitigation of various from of disaster, by the Department of Government at district level and local authority.

* The capacity building and preparedness measure required to be taken by the Departments of the Government at district level and local authorities in the district to respond to any threatening disaster situation.

* The response plan and procedures in the event of disaster provided for-

* Allocation of responsibilities to the departments of the Government at district level and local authorities in the district.

* Prompt response to disaster and relief thereof.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 12

* Procurement of essential resources. * Establishment of communication link * The dissemination of communication link * The district plan shall be updated annually The basic objective of the District Disaster Management Plan is to protect all its residents and every kinds of wealth from all sorts of untoward incidents through the following sectoral objectives:

+ Institutionalization of disaster management in district administration. + Encouraging a culture of disaster preparedness in the district. + Vulnerability reduction and disaster mitigation through better planning process + Creation of the best Govt. mechanism to handle any unprecedented events + Quick response and effective decision making in disasters. + Better coordination of relief and rehabilitation aftermath of a disaster + Better coordination of all line departments in disaster m + Encouraging and empowering the local community to own DM activities. + Regular update of resources available in and around the district

1. 4 Methodology of Plan Development

Preparation of a multifaceted plan document is neither possible with a single agency nor an individual. District Sri Muktsar Sahib has been taken various measures to prepare this document and make it as perfect as possible. The major steps involved in preparing the plan document include the following steps :

 Data collection from all line departments,  Collection and review of secondary data form World Wide Web, Newspapers.  Discussion with experts,  Discussion with experts,  Referring national and international literatures,  Preparation of action plans for departments  Preparing draft plan document,  Vide circulation for public and departmental comments and  Preparation of the final plan document.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 13

1.5 Enactment of Disaster Management Plan 2005

There is a requirement to encourage preparedness measures and mitigation measures to reduce the impact of disaster within community. A detailed disaster management planning containing the detail information about vulnerable areas short term and long term measures, detailed information about the resources and preparedness and response mechanism may certainly improve the status of disaster management in the district. In order to meet the challenge posed by these various forms of disasters, the government has decided to enact a law on Disaster Management to provide for requisite institutional mechanism for drawing up and monitoring the implementation of the disaster management plan. Under this act District Magistrate is the chairperson of the District Disaster Management Authority

As per Section 25 of the DM Act, District Sri Muktsar Sahib has set up its District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) under the notification no. 7/61/2005-4-DM- IV/899 for the planning, coordinating and implementing body for all disaster related activities in the District.

2.3 Hydrometeorology

Water is the most important single requirement for the growth of plants and crops. Crops can be raised successfully only if water is available in adequate quantity either from rain, surface flow or underground. Rainfall in most parts of the country is confined mainly to the four rainy months of June to September. During the remaining months the water requirements have to be met from underground and surface water resources.

2.3.1 Rainfall

The rainy season in the district starts in the month of July and lasts till September. About 71 percent of the annual rainfall in the district is received during these months. Some rainfall Occurs during the pre-monsoon months mostly in the form of thundershowers. In winter, rains are generally received in association with passing western disturbances from December to February. On an average there are 24 rainy days (days with a rainfall of 2.5 mm. or more) in the year in the district.

2.4 Geology :

The district is occupied by geological formations of Quaternary age comprising of recent alluvial deposits. These alluvial formations in turn overlain by Aeolian sands except in the area falling in proximity of Sutlej River. Geological setting, distribution of rainfall and geological formations constituting the aquifers, essentially controls the hydro geological framework of any district

2.5 Geomorphology :

The district area forms a part of Indo-Gangetic plain and Sutlej sub-basin of Indus basin, The area as a whole is almost flat with a gentle slope towards the Western and North-westerly direction. The physiographic of the district is broadly classified in to two types of soils viz Sierozem and Desert soils in Sri Muktsar Sahib District. The sierozem soils are found in a major part of the district and desert soils are comparatively found in a relatively smaller area towards western part of the district

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 19

2.6 Agricultural and Irrigation

Agriculture is the mainstay of the people of Muktsar District and its inhabitants depend heavily for their livelihood on agriculture and its allied occupations. According to 2001 Census, 58.63 per cent (as cultivators and agricultural labourers) of the total working force of the district was engaged in agriculture as against 38.95 per cent in the State as a whole. Amongst the working population of the district, cultivators account for 28.69 per cent and agricultural labour's 29.94 per cent as against 22.63 per cent and 16.32 per cent respectively for the State,

2.7 Hydrogeology:

Geological formation encountered within the district comprises of unconsolidated alluvial deposits of Quaternary age. Aquifer material comprises chiefly of fine to medium grained sand. In general shallow aquifers in the area can be grouped into two classes; one unconfined/ semi confined aquifer down to depth of 80.0 m in the district and being in the depth range of 100.0 to 111.0m. These two aquifers are separated by a clay layer almost uniformly present in the district. The aquifer down to depth of 50.0 m is being tapped by shallow tube wells for purpose of irrigation and drinking. However, few deeper tube wells down to depth of 125 m are being tapped by Government agencies for drinking purpose and by some farmers for irrigation purpose.

2.7.1 Canals

Abohar Branch and Bathinda Branch of Sirhind Canal are the main sources of irrigation in the district. The Abohar Branch is under the charge of two canal divisions viz. Abohar Canal Division, Abohar and Faridkot Canal Division, Faridkot. Under the Abohar Canal Division, the total length of the Abohar Branch that traverses Muktsar District is 32.96 Km. The canal enters the district at village Sotha and tails off at village Pakki. Under the Faridkot Canal Division, the Muktsar District is served by distributaries and minors, whose length in the district is 124 Km Bathinda Branch is under the jurisdiction of Bathinda Canal Division, Bathinda and its total length in the Muktsar District is 122.09.

Km 2.8.2 Wells (including Tubewells and Pumping Sets)

As underground water in the district is very deep, well irrigation has almost vanished Well irrigation has been replaced by Tube wells irrigation. During 2002-2003 about 216 thousand hectare area in the district was irrigated by Tube wells and pumping sets.

3 HAZARDS, VULNERABILITY & CAPACITY ANALYSIS

District Sri Muktsar sahib mainly suffers from one natural hazard, namely, Flood, which has very high frequency of occurrence in this district of Punjab state. Theoretically risk is said to be the product of hazard and vulnerability of that region. In Disaster Management, risk is measured in terms of expected loss of human lives, loss of capital, property like agricultural land roads, structures, livestock etc. Hazard is potentially a damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. Hazards can include latent conditions that may represent future threats and can have different origins: natural (geological, hydro meteorological and biological) or induced by human processes (environmental degradation and technological hazards). Hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects is characterized by its location, intensity, frequency and probability.

District Sri Muktsar Sahib is prone to Multi Hazard disaster like flood, Fire, Earthquake, Drought, Road accidents, Rail accidents, Industrial accidents, building collapse, epidemics, LPG cylinder blast, stray cattle incidences etc. The density of population coupled with socio economic backwardness increases the vulnerability towards various disasters. The history of disasters in the district will provide a clear picture of the vulnerability to which the district is prone.

3.1 History of Hazards

The district had been afflicted with various kinds of disasters in the Past years. The district is highly vulnerable to flood due to water logging problem in entire district. The district is also vulnerable to Hail storm and Fire hazard especially in April and may months, at this time wheat crops at stage of harvesting and climate is dry and hot. The fire incidences keep on happening at an amazing regularity the intensity increasing in the summers. Incidences of Cylinder burst have also been reported. The Chemical accidents have also been causing loss of life and property. Some of the incidences that have been reported in the district are given in the table 3.1 below

3.2 Hazards of the District :

3.2.1 FLOOD :

The district had been severely afflicted with various kind of disaster in the past years. The district is highly vulnerable to flood in past few years due to water logging problem in district near canal areas. There is no perennial river in the district but two main canal of passes through the district i.e. Rajasthan Feeder and Sarhind feeder. These canal flows in middle of the district from North to south direction. The flood of the years of 1988, 1995, 2008, 2010 and 2011 is the main examples of the flooding in district when the normal lives of the resident of district were either disturbed or threatened badly. The drainage and Revenue and disaster management department has marked. The following areas (villages) falling in the district along the river as vulnerable points prone to flooding. Table 3.2

3.2.2 FIRE :

District Sri Muktsar Sahib is vulnerable to two types of fire, one is domestic fire and other is crop fire these accidents are occur due to dry and hot climate condition , Short-circuiting is often a result of illegal connections, low quality wiring, loose electricity wirings added with high density of residents and market areas, Poor market construction conditions and a very high density of population which makes these areas highly vulnerable to fire risk and therefore even if single major cause is taken, of, not only would it lead to saving innumerable lives and properties but also cut down on expenditure incurred on fire mitigation. There had been several crop fire accidents in the period of in April to June in every year due to dry field condition harvest fire risk but no human loss in such type of fire but environmental and economically losses are common in this period.

Some Issues to be addressed :

* Poor fire services, High population density, crowded streets, poor and unplanned old construction, inadequate water supply, poor electrical services, unplanned sitting of fire stations, encroachment are few examples of ineffective planning which adversely affect the fire response time.

* The developmental activities are in full swing in the sub -urban area, with complete disrespect to environment and fire safety aspects in absence of regulatory laws exempted in these areas. Many of the problems are attributable to the lack of awareness and knowledge about the concept of fire safety. The designers of the buildings have no formal education in the fire safety management

* Fire services has also failed to participate in urban planning process, either due t o the fact that they are not the part of the urban affairs or due to the fact that they too, do not possess adequate and reliable data base to project their concern in the planning process.

They have also failed in providing an interactive forum for the architects, planners, citizens and the fire professional to discuss and resolve the issue causing concern to each other.

3.2.3 EARTHQUAKE :

Earthquakes seem the most terrifying natural Hazard. The entire state of Punjab falls in region of moderate to high seismic hazard. As per the 2002 Bureau of

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 26

Indian Standards (BIS) Map, the state falls under seismic Zone II, IlI and IV. This means state is adjacent to high vulnerable area i.e. Zone V. The district Sri Muktsar Sahib fall under seismic Zone III which means moderate seismic earthquake may be occurs but any severe earthquake occur in Zone IV or V, the impact will be on buildings, most of buildings in district are not safe to earthquake and may suffer severe building damage.

Congested Areas in the district : Main Market Sri Muktsar Sahib/Malout/Gidderbaha.

3.2.4 DROUGHT :

The district Sri Muktsar Sahib falls in Malwa Region. It is situated in the south-west part of the state of Punjab. The climate of district, broadly speaking it has continental monsoon type of climate in which warm temperate monsoon climate with

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 27

winter dry, hot and arid climate condition of the district, due to this climatic condition and delay of Monsoon in this region directly hit to crops and agriculture allied sector, therefore, it's difficult to manage for farmers to save their crops by making a heavy expenditure. District had experience of drought and some time drought like condition such years:- 1987, 2002,2004.

3.2.5 HAİLSTORM :

The heavy hailstorm includes at least a proportion of large stones. Punjab state often gets affected by moderate to heavy hailstorms. In the past such hailstorms have often affected the standing crops, trees, vehicular traffic, telecommunication services, live stock damage etc. In Sri Muktsar Sahib District there are most probably months of April to July are the time of hailstorm occurrence according to record.

3.2.6 ROAD ACCIDENTS :

Road accident is one of the top nine reasons for deaths in the country. Thirteen people hour in road accidents in the country. India suffers from the highest number of deaths - around 1,05,000 and non fatal road traffic injuries 452 922 person, in absolute terms annually- due to road accidents in the world owing to poor infrastructure and dangerous habits. Poor road infrastructure, failure to comply with speed limits, growing drinking driving habits, and refusal to use proper motorcycle helmets and use child car seats, are among the main factors contributing to deaths from road crashes. The reason for this increase in traffic is that a large numbers of drivers are able to walk away with licenses without getting a proper training. Road accidents not only cause grief to the families affected but also hamper family income as well as national economy.

3.2.7 GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION AND CANCER ::

The high incidence of cancer and other diseases in Punjab's Malwa belt has been highlighted over the last decade. The presence of uranium and other heavy

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 28

metals in groundwater in the state, particularly the Malwa region, and serious efforts are afoot to control the damage. The worst affected is southwest Punjab's fertile Cotton belt - the area south of the river Sutlej- comprising the districts of Mansa, Bathinda, Sri Muktsar Sahib, Faridkot, Barnala, Sangrur and some parts of Ludhiana. This is unique and dangerous problem due to pests in cotton crops. Farmers here use at least 15 different pesticide sprays. Of the top 15 pesticides used, the US's Environmental Protection Agency considers seven used on cotton in human carcinogens (acephate, dichloropropene, diuron, fluomenturon, pendimenthalin, tribufosm abd triflurain),

These strategic locations will help to cover operations in a calamity in the district in maximum five minutes time.

The concerned SDM is the Commander-in-chief at this level and is responsible of coordinating its functions as per the direction of the Incident Commander with the help of the Incident Management Teams (IMI) with him/her. The OEOC's are physically activated only in time of a disaster. The concerned SDM of the OEOC unit would be responsible to execute activities at disaster site; however the tasks would be controlled and coordinated from EOC through nodal desk officers.

4.2.7 Trigger Mechanism :

As soon as Emergency Operation centre would get the information about any emergency, the staff on duty in EOC will pass the information the DC (Sri Muktsar Sahib) and seek for his instruction for further actions.

Trigger Mechanism for District EOC

4.3 Emergency Support Functions

This is an additional feature in the new mechanism of disaster management. A concerted effort of various agencies is required to manage a disaster. Usually the agencies are able to perform the required function, but lack of proper coordination leaves them under-utilized. To avoid this type of problem, a new mechanism called Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) are formulated in District.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 51

The basic structure of the ESF depends up on the functions they are supposed to perform. Altogether there are 12 ESF's in district Sri Muktsar Sahib Each ESF is led by the nodal department in the district and assisted by the other parallel civic bodies.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 52

4.4 Disaster Management Teams :

Each ESF should be well prepared to set up its coordination desks with Onsite EOCs as well as in the District EOC at the time of disaster. With this intention, they have to designate a nodal officer and an alternate nodal officer with specific responsibility. Besides they have to constitute a Head Quarter Team as well as Quick Response Teams (QRTs) and minimum three Field Response Teams (FRTs) with at least five members each.

The name and address of the team members shall be updated time to time with latest contact number. It is the function of the Working Group - I11 for plan review and updation, to coordinate the disaster management teams. The supporting agencies will directly report to the nodal agency and the nodal agency will report to the Incident Commander regarding its functions.

CHAPTER-05

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND MITIGATION PLAN

A better disaster management with minimum vulnerability is possible only by means of preparedness and mitigation measures. More the disaster preparedness, lesser the vulnerability Neither a disaster can be prevented nor can it be diverted to any other place. The only possible thing is to minimize the effect.

The changing concept of disaster management has taken its birth in mere hypothesis Today there is a paradigm shift in the approach to disaster management from a culture of relief and rehabilitation to that of preparedness and mitigation. In District North East, there shall be two approaches in disaster mitigation viz. structural mitigation and non-structural mitigation.

5.1 Non Structural Mitigation Plan District lies in the Plain at the bank of the river Sutlej and the northwest part of district is flood prone area and others disaster like considered earthquake and fire. The entire district falls in Zone III, which indicates the District, as at moderate risk to earthquake. The consequence of flood becomes misery to the Dharamkot sub-division especially. In addition to this, fire is a major concern for the District as fire incidents have risen steeply in the last couple of decades.

The non structural mitigation is basically framed in such a way that the whole population of the district will be sensitized on disaster management and their capacity is developed to cope up with a hazardous situation. District has specific plan for non- structural mitigation measures which is an ongoing process in various spheres of life.

5.1.1 Preparedness Methodology

Instead of waiting for a disaster to occur and then to manage it, this concept envisages to make people part of the management process. The plan contains a series Is, colleges, hospitals, markets, cinemas and all other vital institutions and ultimately the community itself, In a disaster management cycle, preparedness shall be the first step. People of a given area have to be guided to prepare their own coping mechanism. For this the district shall plan various activities and reach out to the local level. The DDMA/ESF's shall suggest apt and proper methodology for preparedness on regular basis.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 54

5.1.2 Sensitization/Awareness Campaign :

The District administration must reach out to the local residents and general public of the district with various level sensitization programmes. Sensitization programmes shall be conducted for schools, hospitals, colleges, communities, policy makers and all other specific sectors. Awareness on multi hazards and dos and don'ts to solve it are most import and basic for a human being to save him/herself. Disaster strikes everywhere everyone irrespective of land caste, creed, color, people, and gender. The basic information shall be given in forms of booklets reading materials, audiovisual material etc. The broad objectives of such programmes shall be as follows :

I. To bring awareness about disasters among the inmates of all institutions and residents of all communities in district. 2. To pave way for strict enforcement of building rules in construction departments contractors 3. Preparation of Building Evacuation Plans and training the general public on base of IRS self defence thereby building capacities of school authorities and saving lives in the event of an Earthquake or Fire accidents or any other disaster. 4. To sensitize officers from the District Administration, Department of Education, Ministry of Disaster Management, Police, Health, Fire Service and all other parallel agencies.

Different methods and techniques shall be utilized to spread awareness on disaster in the district. Some sample techniques and methods are listed below :

* Public meetings and loud speaker announcements. * Wall painting in the communities. * Distribution of reading materials to the general public. * Distribution of posters and other Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials to children and community people.

* Street plays, documentaries and films on the subject * Use of electronic media, especially cable channels * Quiz-painting competitions, special types of books, etc for students. * Any other means the DDMA/ESFs feels apt and proper.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 55

5.1.3 Training and Capacity Building :

A series of training programs shall be organized for specialized groups like, district DMTs, sub division and community level office bearers, teachers and principals, doctors and engineers, and masons and builders and contractors etc. All walks of people shall be trained. This can even be on construction of buildings and other structures earth quake resistant.

* District shall identify sensitization as one of the best tools to create awareness programme and preparation of Community Based Disaster Management planning, in this regards organize a series of programmes for the community people and NGOs

* There are organizations like Home Guard, NYK, NCC, NSS etc, which have thousands of volunteers from each nook and corners of the distinct. The district must train their volunteers and the wardens of these bodies in the district, thus people from various corners will be trained and sensitized in disaster management and this can make a magnifying result.

* For better sustainability of disaster management, the DDMA shall think of training Civil Defence & Home Guard, NYK, NCC and NSS volunteers at the cost of the district administration and they shall be given certificate of training, identity cards as disaster managers. The DDMA can take appropriate decision for paying any honorariums for their services.

* Training programmes shall be organized with SGHs, CBOs and NGOs in the district or they shall be funded for organizing such programmes. Corporate sponsors shall be contacted to hold such massive training programmes.

5.1.4 Disaster Management Planning :

It is a known fact that the district Sri Muktsar Sahib is flood prone district of State of Punjab. Entire district has fire, Moderate prone to Earthquake, Prone to agriculture and house fire, Road Accidents and Industrial Accidents, Fire and man-made disasters are major concern for the District has risen steeply in the last couple of years. The vulnerability of the district increases due to these disasters.

The first responder of any disaster anywhere is none other than the local people who are the victims too. Once a disaster has been occurred, many agencies like NGOs, Military and Para Military Agencies as well as the Government Agencies approach the area. But it takes time to start rescue and relief operations by these agencies due to poor accessibility and approachability to the disaster site and ignorance to the geographical situation o the affected area. Taking all these in to stoke, the district shall

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 56

organize various planning exercises with the local bodies. In district Sri Muktsar Sahib, NGOs and CBOs are working in awareness programmes in the field of health and first aid. The strategy of planning shall be as follows :

1. Village level local bodies and NGOs, CBOs taken as logical units. 2. Each school has their separate disaster management plan. 3. Every Hospital with more than 10 beds shall have Disaster management plans 4. All Cinema Halls, Clubs, religious centre's etc where gatherings are possible, shall have Disaster management plans.

5. Every Government office/building/department shall have separate disaster management plan.

6. Every shopping centres and markets have their disaster management plan.

7. All industries in the district, irrespective of size and nature.

The predominant objectives of the initiative shall be :

1. To create awareness on disasters and disaster management among community leaders and general public . 2. To prepare Disaster Management plan for each village with Hazard and Resource Maps.

3. To form Disaster Management Committees (DMC) and Task Forces within the village, to manage disasters and train them specifically

4. To exercise Mock Drills in each Community in a regular interval of time including evacuation exercises

Each logical unit shall collect the template/modal plan document from the EOC at the district administration and after preparation a copy of the same shall be submitted to the EOC and the other shall be with the logical unit.

This plan document shall be updated at least bi annually and the update information shall be given to the EOC in writing. The district EOC shall help the logical unit in conducting the planning exercises as and when they request the same.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 57

5.1.5 Disaster Resource Inventory :

In a scenario of total damage due to disasters like earthquake, all communication system disrupts and disaster managers become armless in fighting the calamity. To overcome such obstacle, Government of India has developed disaster management portals which facilitate the disaster managers and administrates to track down resource stocks in the country or at least in the neighbouring area. This Website, called www.idrn.gov.nic.in, basically intended to gather data from the government resources. Data are collected from local units and line departments and uploaded by the District Administration after verification and scrutiny.

Each government department in the district shall take part in updating this portal regularly They shall give information on fresh procurement of equipments, manpower and technologies to the Emergency Operation Centre in the prescribed format at least biannually

5.1.6 Enforcing Existing Codes and Law :

Lists of codes are already in place to monitor the construction practices in the district. Bureau of India Standards, National Building codes of India and subsequent amendments in various acts provides sufficient legal protection to practices. In District Sri Muktsar Sahib, the major government bodies undertaking construction and grant permission to the private players' viz. MC, PWD, SSA, Panchayati raj and Irrigation and Flood Control Department shall ensure that structural safety measures are followed well. the enforcing agencies for safe construction Besides the DDMA shall take appropriate decisions to enforce Codes for Flood and Earth Quake Protection etc.

5.1.7 Land use Planning :

Damage of buildings depends upon primarily upon the soil conditions and topology of the area which are moderately favourable in the district. Anyhow, to analyze risk within district microzonation planning should take place. It will help to guide modify land use planning in the district accordingly.

5.1.8 Insurance Insurance :

Insurance brings quality consciousness in the infrastructure and a culture of safety by insisting to follow building codes, norms, guidelines, and quality materials in construction. It would enforce safety standards by bringing accountability. Hazardous area should be announced notified and publicly displayed so that people would be motivated not to settle in those areas and insurance be mandatory in insurance prone areas. Premiums can be changed on the basis of risk proneness.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 58

5.2 Structural Mitigation Measures :

It is immensely pivotal for the planning community to respond towards disaster management positively. Urban disaster management is intimately connected to the wholesome process of urban development and therefore needs a sincere incorporation in the development planning itself. The industrial relocation/location, unauthorized- regularization issue, slumming. over densification is some of the open concerns and that besides a planning challenge it is a concern for disaster management. The district shall take steps for structural mitigation of disaster management. The departments that are associated with development of residential and commercial plots shall strict the NOC norms. The Building codes shall be strictly enforced in the district. Only seismically oriented engineers, contractors and masons shall be given certificates for multi story constructions and real estates. Simultaneously retrofitting is to be promoted with the expert advice. The possible two structural measures for disaster protection are Retrofitting of the existing building and Earth Quake Resistant new construction.

5.2.1 Retrofitting :

For an existing building, Retrofitting or Seismic Strengthening is the only solution to make it disaster resistant. In district, all lifeline buildings such as Major Hospitals, Schools with large space for storage, District Administration Offices and Other vital installations shall be retrofitted in the first phase. In the second phase all other significant buildings shall be given priority for seismic strengthening. Before carrying retrofitting a panel of experts shall be approached for assessing the structure and to suggest the type of retrofitting required.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has developed its first code on a seismic design in 1962 (IS: 1893-1962). However, till date there is lack of efficient legal framework to implement seismic code provisions.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 59

5.2.3 Construction Control :

The best mitigation measure is to build strong built-in environment in the district. The district must ensure the implementation of building codes. The quality of buildings measured by their seismic resistance has its fundamental importance. Minimum designs and constructions standards for earthquake resistant structures legislated nationally are an important step in establishing future minimum level of protection for important structure. India has building codes and regulations for seismic resistant design, which needs to be enforced by municipal bodies.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 60

CHAPTER - 6 RESPONSE PLAN

Disaster management is a multi faceted discipline that needs different mechanisms with diverse methodology. The action plan contains two approaches; 1) short term plan and 2) long term response plans. The district administration has to take pre-action on these two approaches to tackle a disaster scenario

6.1 Short Term Response Plan

Short-term response plan contains the actions to be taken immediately after a disaster Once an information has been reached the district EOC or any of the Disaster Managers in the district either from authentic or unauthentic sources, it has to be verified soon for authenticity Once the information is found correct, it has to be reported to the Incident Commander via fast communication system. The Incident Commander shall take the following actions :

1. Disseminate warning/alert to the potential victims 2. Disseminate information to vertical and horizontal EOCs. 3. Disseminate information to vertical and horizontal Administrators and DMTs. 4. Declare Disaster based on the severity/vulnerability

6.1.1 Rescue Operations

Immediately after a disaster the Deputy Commissioner, Sri Muktsar Sahib shall act as the District magistrate and incident commander and take over disaster management. He/she shall coordinate the rescue operations with the help of the Working Group for relief and rehabilitation and the Emergency Support Functions. Along with the rescue operations the Incident Commander shall do the following measures :

l. Activate the Incident Command System 2. Call meeting of disaster management committee. 3. Coordinate the ESFs in disaster management. 4. Set up Site/Onsite EOC and activate relief camps. 5. Collect preliminary assessment report from the onsite EOCs. 6. Activate the pre-contract vendors and collect relief materials for distribution.

Disaster Management Plan 2019 Page 61

7. Brief the situation to the Higher authority as well as to the press/media people. 8. Ensure basic logistic arrangements for disaster managers. 9. Mobilize resource/ call assistance form various stakeholders.

Besides there are large number of activities to be under taken by the Incident Commander in consolation with the disaster management committee which are listed in the Disaster Management Act.
