  • Proceedings of National Workshop on "Uttarakhand Disaster 2013
    National Workshop on UTTARAKHAND DISASTER 2013: LESSONS LEARNT Monday, August 19, 2013 PROCEEDINGS Organized by National Institute of Disaster Management (Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India) 5B, I.P. Estate, Mahatma Gandhi Marg , New Delhi‐110002 www.nidm.gov.in Proceedings of the National Workshop on Uttarakhand Disaster 2013: Lessons Learnt BACKGROUND Uttarakhand, one of the hill states of Northern India, was severely hit by heavy rain induced flash floods and landslides in the 3rd week of June, 2013. This abnormally high amount of rainfall has been attributed to the fusion of Westerlies with the Indian monsoonal cloud system (Fig. 3). This has resulted into huge loss to lives and properties and specially disrupting the peak seasonal activities to Char Dham Pilgrimmage. The melting of Chorabari Glacier and eruption of the Mandakini River has led to floods near Kedarnath Shrine area, Rambara, Agostyamuni, Tilwara, Guptkashi in Rudraprayag district. There were torrential rainfall in Himachal Pradesh and Western Nepal, and in other nearby regions of Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Tibet. Pilgrimage centres in the region, including Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, are visited by thousands of devotees, especially during May to September. Over a lakh people were stuck in various regions because of damaged roads, landslides and flash flood induced debris. People in other important locations such as the Valley of Flowers, Roopkund and the Sikh Pilgrimage Centre Hemkund were stranded for days together. Fig. 1 &2: The Kedarnath Shrine in Rudraprayag District, before and after June 2013 Flash flood 2 Proceedings of the National Workshop on Uttarakhand Disaster 2013: Lessons Learnt The scale and magnitude of the extreme event was such that more than 580 persons are confirmed to have lost their lives.

  • India Disaster Report 2013
    INDIA DISASTER REPORT 2013 COMPILED BY: Dr. Satendra Dr. K. J. Anandha Kumar Maj. Gen. Dr. V. K. Naik, KC, AVSM National Institute of Disaster Management 2014 i INDIA DISASTER REPORT 2013 ii PREFACE Research and Documentation in the field of disaster management is one of the main responsibilities of the National Institute of Disaster Management as entrusted by the Disaster Management Act of 2005. Probably with the inevitable climate change, ongoing industrial development, and other anthropogenic activities, the frequency of disasters has also shown an upward trend. It is imperative that these disasters and the areas impacted by these disasters are documented in order to analyze and draw lessons to enhance preparedness for future. A data bank of disasters is fundamental to all the capacity building initiatives for efficient disaster management. In the backdrop of this important requirement, the NIDM commenced publication of India Disaster Report from the year 2011. The India Disaster Report 2013 documents the major disasters of the year with focus on the Uttarakhand Flash Floods and the Cyclone Phailin. Other disasters like building collapse and stampede have also been covered besides the biological disaster (Japanese Encephalitis). The lessons learnt in these disasters provide us a bench-mark for further refining our approach to disaster management with an aim at creating a disaster resilient India. A review of the disasters during the year reinforce the need for sustainable development as also the significance of the need for mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction in all developmental activities. We are thankful to all the members of the NIDM who have contributed towards this effort.

Naik, KC, AVSM National Institute of Disaster Management 2014 i UTTARAKHAND FLASH FLOODS - JUNE 2013 3. UTTARAKHAND FLASH FLOODS - JUNE 2013 The Disaster: The State of Uttarakhand, being part of the Himalayan region, is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters. Natural hazards, like earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, cloudbursts, hailstorms, Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), flash floods, lightning, and forest fires, etc. have been a cause of major disasters in the State. On 16 June 2013, the State suffered yet another mega disaster, one of the worst disasters in the living memory, causing widespread damage and destruction, besides heavy casualties. The entire State was hit by very heavy rainfall and flash floods. Though all the thirteen districts of the State were hit, five districts, namely Bageshwar, Chamoli, Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi were the worst affected. The disaster coincided with the peak tourist and pilgrimage season, significantly enhancing the number of the casualties and adversely affecting the rescue and relief operations. The impact of disaster was most pronounced in the Mandakini valley of the Rudraprayag district. Torrential rains, coupled with the probable collapse of the Chorabari Lake, led to flooding at the Kedarnath Shrine and the adjacent areas of Rambara, Agastyamuni, Tilwara, and Guptkashi. Other pilgrimage centers in the region, including Gangotri, Yamunotri and Badrinath, which are visited by thousands of devotees during the summer season, were also affected. People in important locations, such as the Harsil, Roopkund and Hemkund Sahib, were stranded for days together.

The world witnessed rising tensions in the nuclear arena and was rightly chary about some miscalculation that could plunge it into a near unrecoverable catastrophe. The apprehensions were increased with the release of President Trump’s Nuclear Posture Review. In the prevailing environment, the Review became the subject of considerable discussion and commentaries. The upshot was that with a departure from the Obama doctrine, the Trump doctrine spoke of the usability of nuclear weapons.

Krakatau Volcano: Fear 12 of East Indies CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION Shiksha Kendra, 2, Community Centre, Preet Vihar, Delhi-110 092 India 1. Theme – Indian Summer Monsoon and The Himalayan Tsunami Abstract: Indian summer monsoon has always remained vital for the economy and people of the country. The anomalies and variability in Indian summer monsoon is resulting in frequent disasters such as the fierce floods of Uttrakhand Himalayas. The recent flash floods in Uttrakhand have caused damages to calamitous proportions. Nature’s fury has been magnified by mindless anthropogenic activities and irresponsible tourism. Cloud burst events combined with geophysical dynamics have become a serious threat for the region. Lack of proper understanding and knowledge about recent climatic events in the region and absence of efficient post-disaster response mechanism has increased the vulnerability of those living in such ecologically fragile areas. The torrential rainfall in Uttrakhand Himalayas of June, 2013 resulted into huge death and destruction. It left hundreds dead; thousand marooned and washed away scores of villages, inundated the eight century Kedarnath temple. The famous Manikarinika temple on the banks of Bhagirathi was swept away by swirling waters of the river. Houses and small apartment blocks on the banks of Bhagirathi, Alaknanda and Mandakini have been toppled into the rushing, swollen waters and been swept away along with cars and trucks. The extent of damage due to flash Figure 1.1 Flash flood induced destruction at floods in many partsKedarnath of the1 seven districts of Uttrakhand (see table no.
