Back Ground:

Natural and human induced hazards are common phenomenon in Azad Jammu & Kashmir and people are suffering with regular intervals. District Bagh is one the vulnerable and hazard prone area, which witnessed devastating impact of 2005 earthquake. The 8 October 2005 earthquake (EQ), measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale, struck at 8.52 am. The epicenter of the quake was situated 90.2 km north-east of Islamabad, in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). Covering a total area of some 30,000 sq. km, five districts of Azad Kashmir Muzaffarabad, Bagh, Poonch, Havali and Neelam and five of NWFP Mansehra, Battagram, Kohistan, Abbotabad and Shangla were the most badly affected with damage on a massive scale. But the impact was felt as far away as Islamabad and northern parts of Punjab. The 11-storey Margalla Towers Apartment Complex in the capital collapsed killing dozens of residents. Earthquake caused over 73,000 deaths, left many more people seriously injured and destroyed homes, schools, hospitals and infrastructure on large scale.

According to NDMA reports in district Bagh 8,157 people died and around 24,000 injured during earthquake. Overall infrastructure was badly collapsed and mobility was quite difficult to carry out the search and rescue and relief operations. It’s largely believed and recognized that lack of preparedness and risk reduction was major cause of the devastating impact of disaster. Now after more than six years of disaster it was appropriate time to assess and know the disaster preparedness and risk reduction measures at district level to mitigate the impact of future disasters.

Bagh District is one of the ten districts of Azad Jammu& Kashmir (AJ&K). The district, which had been part of Poonch District, was created in 1988. The district is bounded by Muzaffarabad District to the north, Poonch district to the south, and Havali District to the east; it is bounded by the Punjab, Rawalpindi District and Abbottabad District of Pakistan's N Khyber Pakhtoonkhaw province to the west. The total area of the district is 770 square kilometers. Bagh District is linked to Muzaffarabad by two roads, one via Sudhan Gali (80 km) and the other through Kohala (97 km). It is situated 46 km from Rawalakot. Bagh District was created with three sub-divisions, namely Dhirkot, Bagh and Haveli, with its headquarters at Bagh. Now Havalie is a separate district. As per planning and development department AJK projected population (2016) of district Bagh is 371, 919,.

AJ&K is a hazardous region and inhabitants are exposed and regularly experience a plethora of different disasters. It is pertinent to mention that no systematic information is available on hazards, vulnerabilities and risks in AJ&K. As these are dynamic processes there is a need to continuously monitor and analyze the hazard vulnerability context to plan and implement effective disaster risk management interventions. The evolving risk context of AJ&K with respect to interplay of multiple hazards and vulnerability exposure of the State it, came out as a strong strategic priority to have comprehensive and updated information on risk environment by using tools such as hazard & vulnerability assessments, risk maps etc.. The information generated through research shall help make informed policy and operational choices and also shall help drawing disaster risk management and contingency plans. In the framework of continuous assistance for reconstruction and rehabilitation, multi-hazard micro-zonation maps have been produced for Muzaffarabad and Bagh cities. The maps highlight the risk context of two cities which shall guide the city planning and reconstruction work particularly with reference to resettlement of communities and reconstruction of damaged public infrastructure. There is an acute need to further expand the knowledge base inAJ&K to add risk sensitivity element to future development actions. Objectives:
