District Disaster Management Plan of Prakasham District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 2

1 Preparedness Plan Preparedness has been defined as the knowledge and capacities developed by governments, response and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to and recover from the impacts of likely, imminent or current disasters. A preparedness plan establishes arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective and appropriate responses to specific potential hazardous events or emerging disaster situations that might threaten society or the environment1. Therefore, this Preparedness Plan includes checklist for all concerned stakeholders of the district to prepare themselves for effective and efficient disaster response. It helps in preparing district administration, departments and other stakeholders for better coordinated response with available resources. Identification of vulnerable areas, emergency shelter sites, evacuation routes, emergency resources, chains of commands, etc, becomes an important part of preparedness. All of these measures will go a long way to improving the quality, timing and effectiveness of the response to a disaster. 1.1. General Preparedness Measures based on SWOT Analysis of Line Departments  Establishment and functioning of the Control Rooms: DCCC (District Command and Communication Centre) is a central command and control facility responsible for carrying out the principles of disaster preparedness and disaster management functions at a strategic level in an emergency. The common functions of the DCCC is to collect, gather and analyze data; make decisions that protect life and property and disseminate those decisions to all concerned agencies and individuals. In this regard, Prakasham District Command and Communication Centre will be strengthened with necessary equipment and dedicated manpower to deal with disaster risk management related communication functions. Respective department having access to alternative communication systems and network including Revenue and Police shall keep their equipment functional and shall send quarterly status report to the DDMA. Other departments shall also make provisions to establish control rooms in case of seasonal hazards where period is defined like floods, heatwaves, cyclone etc particularly Health, Agriculture and Horticulture, Fisheries, Electricity, Irrigation, Roads and Building departments which are critical to reducing loss and damage associated with disasters and climate change.  Plan Updation: Updation of DDMP is a crucial preparedness activity along with departmental plans of respective departments. The plan should be updated atleast once in a year with a focus on checking manpower (transfers and retirements), possible and emerging scenarios (hazards and vulnerability), progress, outcome and challenges etc. This should also include checking specific preparedness elements such emergency stockpiling of essential supplies, emergency communication network and facilities, managing routine overloads and special activities like elections, vip visits etc. The following process should be followed for updation of the DDMP

Heatwave

District Disaster Management Plan of Prakasham District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 43

1.4.4. Hazard- Heat Wave Heat-wave is a condition of atmospheric temperature that leads to physiological stress, which sometimes can claim human life. Heat-wave is defined as the condition where maximum temperature at a grid point is 3˚C or more than the normal temperature, consecutively for 3 days or more. World Meteorological Organization defines a heat wave as five or more consecutive days during which the daily maximum temperature exceeds the average maximum temperature by five degrees Celsius. If the maximum temperature of any place continues to be more than 45° C consecutively for two days, it is called a heat wave condition (NDMA, 2016)3 Prakasham district is witnessing more frequent and devastating heat wave conditions over the past years as explained in the section of HVCA. Major portion of the district has been found witnessing and exposed to extreme heat wave conditions. This has resulted in to serious concerns and has become a major hazard for the district and the state as a whole. These are having negative impacts on personal health by contributing to heat illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and death. Extreme heat events are consistently related to mortality; cardiovascular, respiratory and other underlying diseases. The true rate of mortality associated with heat waves is often greater than initially attributed, as heat related deaths are not always recorded as such (for example, some are attributed to heart attack, cardiovascular or respiratory disease4. Vegetable vendors, auto repair mechanics, cab drivers, construction workers, police personnel, road side kiosk operators and mostly weaker sections of the society have to work in the extreme heat to make their ends meet and are extremely vulnerable to the adverse impacts of heat waves such as dehydration, heat and sun stroke.

Disaster Risk Reduction Plan

District Disaster Management Plan of Prakasham District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 53

2 Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of Prakasam Disaster risk reduction is aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to the achievement of sustainable development. Disaster risk reduction strategies and policies define goals and objectives across different timescales and with concrete targets, indicators and time frames. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, these should be aimed at preventing the creation of disaster risk, the reduction of existing risk and the strengthening of economic, social, health and environmental resilience.

2.1. DRR Actions in conformity with SFDRR A global, agreed policy of disaster risk reduction is set out in the United Nations endorsed Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, adopted in March 2015, whose expected outcome over the next 15 years is: “The substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries”. Based on this policy framework, Government of India has also prepared the National Disaster Management Plan, 2016 in line with SFDRR. This section of the DDMP will elaborate and build upon the ethos of the Policy with potential local implication in the district as follows: SFDRR Planned Action Responsible Timeframe Priority Department Area Collection, regular updation, analysis of disaster DDMA with Regularly and climate related L&D data of the district support of all concerned departments.

2.2. Capacity Building Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self or other than the self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self, whereas, the skill to operate a fire extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire extinguisher. Capability Building: At the Community Level: Capability building at the community level has to be largely self-orientated like swimming, firmly thatching of roofs, taking out an injured lying under debris and carrying safely for medical aid, rescuing a person while drowning etc. Capability Building: At the Ground Level Institutions: Capability building at the ground level institutions one has to build around self as well as simple technologies based equipments: For example, plying of motorized boats, debris removal, fire extinguishers, first aid, snake/dog bite treatment, driving two wheelers, four wheelers setting up of tents, operating communication equipments, repair and maintenance of the same. The institutions that have to deal directly with the first respondent, that is communities, are.  Police Mitras  Village and Mandal level officials  PACs  Local CBO, & NGOs  Urban Local Bodies For this category of institutions, the capacity development programme and activities have to deal with:  Comprehensive understanding of hazard wise disaster caused  Hazard wise impact of disaster on people, livestock, property structures, agriculture, infrastructure etc.  Segment of impact wise operation to provide help and support with rescue, relief and shelter.  Keeping people alert and prepared on a periodic basis for the eventualities, that is, organizing drills and rehearsals. The programme and activities have to be in training and skill development mode coupled with practical and demonstrative exercises supported by IEC materials. As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation and disaster preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in: i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the institutions as well as at the community level. Institutional Capacity Building The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district level Disaster Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan implementation strategy and its upward linkages to the State and downward linkages to the communities. From the district side, the officers shall be engaged in: I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its functioning, its roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster Management Plan, the involvement of local bodies in the plan preparation and implementation in coordination with states and villages. II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and panchayat levels, the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities at Lo, L1, L2 period in coordination with states and villages. III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and manpower. All these orientations through well-structured programmes are specifically required because of the whole exercise of disaster management still being relief centre with states and villages.

Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase understanding of issues and in the light of the increased understanding and appreciation, to act in a desired manner in a given situation. The response is not wooden but enlivened by the use of intelligence if the situation happens to be at variance. It is a modulation which will be required, in the context of disaster management, by the district level institutions, and government departments, the district level agencies, stakeholders other than the state and its agencies, and the people in the unit of a community. Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward, are the communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level functionaries, the District administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are the constitutional bodies and have well defined roles to play in disaster management.

Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such, disaster preparedness of a state is required to be measured in terms of community preparedness. But, before preparing people, the state itself, its machinery, its concerned institution, it functionaries at all level shall have to be prepared. That is, before the disaster preparedness is initiated at the community level, the Gram Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional, the District Disaster Management Authority, the District Command and Communication Centre, the District Disaster Management Plan shall be ready; the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority, the State Disaster Response Force, the National Institute of Disaster Management (Southern Centre) and State level Emergency Operation Centre all shall be ready to get engaged to support community empowerment. Some common areas for building knowledge and capacity are highlighted in the following table on which actions need to be taken Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building steps needs to be conducted;

Climate Change actions for Disaster Risk Reduction

District Disaster Management Plan of Prakasham District, Volume II | Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of Prakasam 76

3. Climate Change Actions: Climate change is one of the most important global environmental challenges facing humanity with implications for food production, natural ecosystems, freshwater supply, health, etc. While a changing climate poses a challenge to humanity as a whole, the available evidence suggests that the developing countries particularly are more vulnerable. Climate change will seriously hit the agriculture sector in Andhra Pradesh (AP), affecting the incomes of farmers by as much as 20 per cent. According to the latest World Bank report on “The impact of climate change on India”, dry land farmer’s incomes in AP plunge by 20 per cent. Under a modest to harsh climate change scenario of a substantial rise in temperatures (2.30 C to 3.40 C) and a modest but erratic increase in rainfall (4% to 8%), small farmer incomes could decline by as much as 20%. Although an increase in natural disasters like cyclones is considered to be a strong indicator of climate change, there is less evidence that this is happening in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The incidence of cyclones may have remained largely the same as ever, what may have increased is their intensity and their area of distribution. The last two cyclones to have hit the Andhra Pradesh coast – Cyclone Laila and Cyclone Nilam – have left significant damages in their wake, affecting agriculture and fisheries very badly. Another critical change with respect to the cyclones has been that they too have ceased to be seasonal: until mid-1990s, specific months – May & November – were considered as the ‘cyclone months’ and the administration could be prepared to deal with them in those months. However, over the last 18 years, the seasonal nature of the cyclonic activity has proved to be no longer valid and cyclones have become more erratic. The other natural disaster that can be linked to climate change, and that by 1980s had been considered to have been largely controlled in Andhra Pradesh, is the incidence of flash floods. The sudden and intensive downpours in the upland areas lead to sudden and excessive flooding that the existing flood banks and other preventive infrastructure are unable to cope with. The obstructive constructions built over former water drainage channels in the plains contribute to aggravate the impacts of the floods. Unlike in the case of cyclones, there are no advance warning systems to warn people of the imminent flooding of their areas, which contribute to further increasing the extent of damages. This section of the DDMP builds on these projected and possible impacts of climate change to evolve necessary adaptation measures for sustainability in the long run as follow: 3.1. Common actions to be taken to Mitigate Climate Change Actions related to climate change adaptation Actions related to climate change mitigation Continuous on-going efforts at tracking and Introducing new, more efficient and cleaner disaster risk indicators and developing improved technologies in thermal power generation. early warning systems; Developing and putting in place strategies and Promoting renewable energy generation and action programmes for disaster vulnerability increasing the share of alternative fuels in overall reduction; fuel mix. Extensive information, education and Reducing emissions from transportation sector communication campaigns for the public in general, and specific communications in high risk zones; Improving inter-departmental coordination and Promoting energy efficiency in the economy, communications for improved risk management notably in industry, transportation, buildings and and disaster response; appliances.
