INTRODUCTION 1.1 OBJECTIVE Objective of this plan is to define the actions and roles necessary to prepare for and respond to any disaster situation in a coordinated manner. The Departmental Disaster Management Plan helps the Department to assess its own capacity in terms of available resources and get ready to mitigate any unexpected disaster effectively and to prevent the loss of human lives and property through preparedness, prevention & mitigation of disasters. It helps to know the standard operating procedures of the department at the time of disaster. The role and responsibility of each and every officer can be detected at the time of disaster. It also helpful to develop immediate and long-term support plans for vulnerable people in/during disasters. 1.2 SCOPE OF THE PLAN Odisha had faced number of natural disasters like flood, cyclone, drought, lightening, coastal erosion etc. Any disaster will cause innumerable miseries, loss of life and appreciable economic loss to the state. The Disaster Management Plan is intended to guide the concerned officers in identifying, monitoring, responding to and mitigating the emergency situations. It is also useful to assist the officials to take immediate action in a critical situation, before getting a formal approval from higher authorities. Scope of the plan is to protect and preserve human life, health and well-being. Minimize damage to the natural environment. Minimize loss, damage or disruption to the facilities, resources and operations. Manage immediate communications and information regarding emergency response operations and campus safety. Provide essential services and operations. Provide and analyze information to support decision-making and action plans Plan Objectives: The objectives of this plan are to: Organisation a. Provide clear and easy-to-follow checklist based guidelines for the most critical functions and liaisons during an emergency response. b. Provide an easy to follow plan design in which users can quickly determine their role, responsibilities and primary tasks. c. Link and coordinate processes, actions and the exchange of critical information into an efficient and real-time overall response so that stakeholders are informed of the emergency response process and have access to information about what is occurring. 1 d. Provide clear and easy-to-follow checklist based guidelines. Communications and Information Management a. Serve as the central point of communications both for receipt and transmission of urgent information and messages. b. Serve as the official point of contact during emergencies when normal communication channels are interrupted. c. Provide 24-hour communication services for voice, data and operational systems. d. Collect and collate all disaster related information for notification, public information, documentation and post-incident analysis. e. Provide a basis for training staff and organizations in emergency response management. f. Decision Making - Determine, through a clear decision-making process, the level of response and the extent of emergency control and coordination that should be activated when incidents occur. Response Operations a. Utilize the resources to implement a comprehensive and efficient emergency management response team. b. Be prepared with a pro-active emergency response management action plan that provides the possibilities and eventualities of emerging incidents.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Quantitative and qualitative variations in microscopic plant organic matter assemblages and its preservation state in deltaic channel deposits of Mahanadi River was correlated with the depositional environment in the ecosystem in order to prepare a modern analogue for use in palaeoenvironment studies. For this, palynological and palynofacies study was carried out in 57 surface sediment samples from Birupa river System, Kathjodi-Debi River system and Kuakhai River System constituting Upper, Middle and Lower Deltaic part of Mahanadi river. The apex of the delta shows dominance of Spirogyra algae indicating high nutrient, low energy shallow ecosystem during most of the year and recharged only during monsoons. The depositional environment is anoxic to dysoxic in the central and south-eastern part of the Middle Deltaic Plain (MDP) and Lower Deltaic Plain (LDP) indicated by high percentage of nearby palynomorphs, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and algal or fungal spores. The northern part of the delta show high POM preservation only in the estuarine area in LDP but high Amorphous Organic Matter (MOA) in MDP.

  • A Note from WIO on the Rengali Dam and Flood Management
    Special Note – II on ‘Odisha Floods 2011’ from Water Initiatives Odisha (WIO) 24th September, 2011 Different Designs, Same Management ‘Did we manage the Rengali dam the way we managed Hirakud?’ asks Water Initiatives Odisha, as it brings a special note on this issue in response to the latest spell of the flood disaster in northern Odisha Rivers. The latest spectre of floods over Brahmani and Baitarani has once again brought the Dam Operations and Management systems of the state into question. This time the focus goes to the Rengali dam. Before going further to the discussion, we would like to bring to your notice the water storage level that was maintained in the Rengali dam on select dates as against the recommended Rule Curve for that dam. Select Date Recommended Maximum Level at which the Reservoir Reservoir and Minimum was kept Limits (by Rule Curve) 1st July 109.72 M / 109.72 M 114.84 M 1st August 115.85 M/ 115.85 M 114.91 M 1st September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 122.36 M 7th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 122.87 M 14th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.54 M 20th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.66 M 21st September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.55 M 22nd September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.56 M 23rd September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.56 M 24th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 124.39 M As can be observed from the above, even as warnings of depression/low pressure were coming in (and in fact that has historically brought rain at this time of the year over Brahmani and Baitarani river basins), the Reservoir was kept consistently at a higher level.

  • Threats to Coastal Communities of Mahanadi Delta Due to Imminent
    1 Threats to coastal communities of Mahanadi delta due to imminent 2 consequences of erosion – present and near future. 3 Anirban Mukhopadhyay*, Pramit Ghosh, Abhra Chanda, Amit Ghosh, Subhajit Ghosh, 4 Shouvik Das, Tuhin Ghosh ,Sugata Hazra 5 School of Oceanographic Studies, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India 6 *Corresponding author: [email protected] 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1 20 Abstract: Coastal erosion is a natural hazard which causes significant loss to properties 21 as well as coastal habitats. Coastal districts of Mahanadi delta, one of the most populated 22 deltas of the Indian subcontinent, are suffering from the ill effects of coastal erosion. An 23 important amount of assets is being lost every year along with forced migration of huge 24 portions of coastal communities due to erosion. An attempt has been made in this study to 25 predict the future coastline of the Mahanadi Delta based on historical trends. Historical 26 coastlines of the delta have been extracted using semi-automated Tasselled Cap technique 27 from the LANDSAT satellite imageries of the year 1990, 1995, 2000, 2006 and 2010. 28 Using Digital Shoreline Assessment System (DSAS) tool of USGS, the trend of the 29 coastline has been assessed in the form of End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression 30 Rate (LRR). A hybrid methodology has been adopted using statistical (EPR) and 31 trigonometric functions to predict the future positions of the coastlines of the years 2020, 32 2035 and 2050. The result showed that most of the coastline (≈65%) is facing erosion at 33 present.
