Abstract: This paper explores the challenges and opportunities for confirming and coping of the nomadic but now settled as domicile, the fishermen Telugu community at Penthakata, Puri Town by the cyclone FANI. The extreme severe cyclonic storm, Fani shattered the coastal fishing trade/craft/gears where it slammed Puri coast on 3rd May with gusting wind speed of 185-213 Km/hr, central eye pressure drop of 50hPa. The cyclone has devastated the Penthakata, a fishermen village (Ward No 26 &32 of Puri Municipality), on land fall, which is prone to cyclones, surge inundation, erosion on high waves and tides. The present focused area is coping with the physically, psychologically and economically devastations made to the developing fishermen community domiciled at Coastal areas of northern flange of Puri Municipality as migrant settlers. Field survey was conducted in these areas of Puri town as case studies of pre and post Fani losses. According to local people, the ignorance about the knowledge of safe building code for cyclone resilient structures, community infrastructural facilities, issuing authentic land holding (Patta) and poverty alleviation programs are the main causes of their sufferings. This paper presents details of data collection and modifications after the disaster Fani and disaster Impact analysis. The lessons learnt are need for Disaster- risk Management Programs based upon community participation, institutions for disaster management creation and strengthening, emergency response/rehabilitation cyclone centers, awareness initiatives and emergency operation centers on short-term/ long-term plans.

Introduction Anthropogenic activities and climate anomalies have escalated the frequency, intensities and magnitude of natural disasters not only but also in the globe. The ecology and the biodiversity are encountering turmoil of faunal biodiversity, structural damages, and losses to societal, fiscal and political status. Over the past few decades, a series of meteorological extremes like earthquakes, Tsunamis, cyclonic storms and high floods have shattered several parts of the earth, which have Fig 1: Penthakata in Puri municipality, the study challenged the existing risk reduction area; source: Puri Municipality, 2018

traditions, and management system. Super cyclone (1999), Chobari earth quake, Gujurat (2001), Indian ocean Tsunami (2004), floods (2008 and 2011), Tropical cyclones such as Super cyclone (1999), Phailin (2013), Hudhud (2014), (Titli) 2018 and Fani on 26th April to 3rd May and the Matomo Bulbul (5th to 10th Nov) 2019 are some of the major catastrophes in Mahanadi delta and apocalyptic disasters over the past 20years in Odisha coastal territory. Odisha has been victim to many of such devastating disasters having long- term impacts on slamming coast like Fani.

Extremely severe cyclonic storm (ESCS) Fani shattered the golden beaches of Odisha (Puri, Konark and Bhubaneswar) where it slammed south of Puri town on 3rd May with gusting wind speed of 185-213 Km/hr, central eye pressure drop of 50hPa (IMD Report, 2019[1]). The shattering tropical cyclone caused 60 fatalities, and devastated other 13 districts of the state for the whole day in the state giving physical trauma and mental stress. In spite of low storm surges, the cyclonic storm had upset all vegetation’s, installations, dwellings, telecommunication and put Puri and Khurdha district for months together. The most affected communities are the fishermen group of Penthakata area living in slums of Puri town Fig..1.

Disaster resilience norms are pre cyclone forecast, preparedness (3days before), cyclone alert and evacuation (which starts 2days earlier), cyclone warning (24hrs at hand) and alertness management processes were ready before land falling of Fani. The actions involved were evacuation, circulation of the post land fall bulletins, necessary assistance like provision of basic inevitabilities such as food , drinking water, safe shelter, a safe infrastructure, Hospital and doctors, and other amenities to face psychological trauma, socioeconomic, social-capability, social capital, managerial and organizational, and cultural factors. Though adequate measures to combat Fani was provided by the statutory federal bodies, district administration, OSDMA, ODRAF, NDRF and NGO’s, the disaster shall put its imprint for long period even not sparin Pucca houses Fig 2. So the study emphasizes on community coping with structural and non-structural safety aspects in the built environment and proposing methodologies to have strategic planning for adaptation of community and natives of the area to combat disasters like Fani. Chakraborty M, 2016[2] found that the fishermen group of Puri are deprived of basic knowledge of their fishing gears and motorised boats, cold storage facilities and educational trainings which lagged them coping modern fishing techniques.

Study area: Penthakata a basti area (unplanned residential colony) in the northern outskirt of Puri town with fishermen from Andhra Pradesh were residing temporarily during fishing period of the year in Fig 2: Penthakata , Puri sea beach, after 1950’s. Presently the coastal entity has been Fani, Pucca houses are not even spared. developed to a mini township mainly with hotels and tourism industry surrounding the slums. Later it has turned to a residential area and was converted to a permanent residential colony. Later the colony was converted as Ward No. 26

and Ward No 32 by the Puri municipality. The squalid slums in Penthakatha is having dried fish smell, amidst the streams of dirty brown meandering between palm-leaf roofed huts, kutcha, semi kutcha and pucca houses adorned frontage with folk art (Jhotti). According to census 2011, the demography status of the Penthakata area Table 1:

Penthakata area in history:

The Bengal and Orissa Municipal Act 1892 was in force in Puri w.e.f 1.1.1923, and prior to that Puri municipality was known as an urban local body, where in the Penthakata area was of only sand dunes/ marine creepers and had no residence recorded. The Orissa Municipal Act 1950 was in vogue to an extended Puri w.e.f 1951 without the Penthakata area Fig 3. It is after the independence the area was dominated by fishermen community and now a semi- developed area a congregation of palm leaf thatched (Kudia) or barbed fenced (Jhatimati) and modern hotels and restaurants. The satellite imagery is shown in Fig 4.

Objectives:

After the cataclysm of the ESCS Fani it became instant need for a coordinated strategic plan for attaining disaster resilience built environment to risqué he victims in a novice .Built up environment plays important role in city building, and helps to maintain sustainable urbanization and safe cities. It is of paramount importance to develop a built environment with an effective degree of resilience to withstand and adapt to the threats of disasters. The present paper aims to explore the challenges in achieving a disaster resilient built environment within cities and disaster prone rural areas and to provide recommendations as to how these challenges could be averted. The Penthakata area, has been employed to support the research arguments which has been harshly affected by Fani and regularly vulnerable to potential waves, storms and erosion.

Methodology:

The data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with the local and other government and NGO officials, policy makers, industry practitioners and experts who are engaged in the respective areas for the distorted infrastructure/mental trauma/lively hood propective. In addition, expert interviews were conducted who are extensively engaged in disaster management and built environment of related disciplines to validate the case study findings (Mr. Sabyasachi Mahapatra, Vice Chairman, Puri Municipality). The interview data were analysed based on the findings; conclusions are drawn for the challenges associated with confrontation and coping of the extreme severe cyclonic storm Fig 5,

Disaster resilience and its management has been considered bitch affairs tried to satisfy the deities by ritual customs in past. Advancement of science and modern structural methodologies has shaped the disaster resilient structures from last part of 20th century only. It was mainly to explain why some communities did better and were successful in responding to and bouncing back from large-scale disasters while others failed. Previous studies have suggested that a community’s disaster resilience can be attributed to a variety of factors: a sense of community; problem-focused coping style; self- or collective efficacy, social support or social capital, citizen participation as voluntary organizations, local leaders, disaster management policies, plans, and practices process- oriented hazard mitigation policies organizational preparedness cooperation learning. Communication capabilities, indigenous expertise, experiences, significance, and ethos, infrastructure, life lines and the demographic features of a community can ameliorate the impact.

Built up environment in Past:

The Telugu fisher communities of Penthakata (except Bali Nolia Sahi) started coming to fish at Puri during 1940s and is continued till end of 20th century. These fishermen are the most innovative marine artisans in the Corromondal coast of India since past. The fishermen from Andhra coast were migrating in groups with their families during winter season as Puri coast searching for a relatively calm and a solitary place for their marine catch when Andhra coast is rough and agile due to prevalence of North East monsoon. They construct Palm leaf huts for their dwelling and live for 3-4months and return with their boat and belongings to their native place to live normal life leaving the huts deserted Fig 6. The causes of the shift were poor and unsustainable lively hood triggered by poverty, food insecurity and vulnerability Fig 7. Present study involves the influence of seasonality and shocks that the fisheries-based livelihoods encounter under the stimulus of numerous federal policies, social/ political institutions and improved fishing processes in addressing their needs.

From Palm-leaf huts to modern dwelling:

The past palm leaf huts are rarely visible in the crowded Penthakata beach.The temporary huts were constructed without basic plans, infrastructural designs and appurtenant facilities. It was even seen a small fire to one hut was causing thousands homeless and pauper. Along

with livelihood vulnerability, there were social and economic stigmas due to addiction with country liquor by the male members. As the fishing gears were few nets and a small boat for a family, they could recoup soon to their normal life to continue their lively-hood. During that period the fishermen community had coped and were combating the then vulnerability and if failed they were returning back to their native place keeping huts deserted.

Last 50 to 60 years with superimposition of contemporary peaceful livelihood, changes in Fig 7: Forcing of unsustainable lively- fishing craft and gears, capital-initiatives, hoods of nomadic fishermen at Penthakata, specialized technology adaptation on the traditional base, the community has learnt to face the disasters in due course. These hut dwellers have started living permanently constructing pucca housing and participating in local business and political activities FAO 1983[3].

The ESCS Fani (3rd Mar 2019, 0900IST)

The ESCS, Fani, after a travel of about 2800Km from equator and barrelled through south of Puri coast, Odisha on 3rd May, 2019 with gusting peak wind speed of 213Km/h with drop in pressure within the eye 50HPa and storm surge of 1.5m over the normal wave amplitude accompanying heavy rainfall as given Table….

From the rainfall aspect there was not much aggressive rainfall in different blocks of the district where the Krushna Prasad Block received the highest followed by Puri town and flood and waterlogging in the storm affected areas are less observed. The rainfall pattern shows it was a spell giving less panic for preparedness, restoration and rehabilitation.

Estimation losses by Red Cross:

The National disaster response team (NDRS) deployed by IRCS (Indian Red Cross Society), Odisha (Dr. Kumar V.L.S, IRCS Karnataka, Mr Ajit Singh Rawat and their team) to assessed on 16.5.2019 and the immediate for the Fani victims are drinking water, food and Non-food items (FI & Non FI’s), debris clearances, hygiene, sanitation, and medical facilities with co- ordination statutory government disaster management organisations.

The Government of Odisha has estimated that the total damages costing INR 164.65 billion INR ($ 2.352 billion) and the estimated recovery/repair/ renovation and rehabilitation requirements are 29.315 billion INR ($ 4.188 billion) posed to ADB and World Bank during May, 2019, Govt. of Odisha, 2019[4]. Nearly 8000boats are damaged in Puri town by Fani and others were buried under sand https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/ 2019/ jun/05/livelihood-still-a-concern-for-puri-fishermen-1986268.html Fig 8.

Civil Society and Panic due to Cyclone:

Not only the government sources but also the NGO’s played pivotal role during the unprecedented disaster Fani. The NGO’s like Bharta Seva Sangh, Ramakrishna Mission, Satya Sai groups, and other SHG groups have accelerated and augmented the confronting primary responsibilities shouldered by the local and federal government as they have already built of ideological trust and confidence of the people beyond relief and restoration under the community focussed umbrella approach. The fishermen group of the area are dependent on sea catches which is uncertain so they are not economically sound. One cyclone is enough for distorting their financial backbone. Fighting the cyclone trauma on community basis can protect them to cope, confront and rebuilt Venkatesh Salagrama, 2006[5].

Housing reconstruction: The worst affected sector during the cyclone Fani is the housing sector either damaged (fully or partly) or destroyed whether it is Pucca or mostly (Fig 9). The immediate approaches for repair and renovation were either owner driven or participatory approach to the damaged

Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2020 236 http://adalyajournal.com/ ADALYA JOURNAL ISSN NO: 1301-2746

dwellings without waiting for insurance, multi-hazard reconstruction opportunities, Government reconstruction schemes depending on the scanty government helps like tarpaulin or Polyethylene sheets ignoring quality control and future risks. The observations made to confront cyclones and coping with the built environment are:

 All kutcha / masonry houses with asbestos roofing must be replaced by RCC framed structures with knee bracing on a raised ground, RCC walling with bands, conical RCC roof and beyond ICZM regulatory zone to avoid storm surges and inundation.  Govt of Odisha prescribes two layers of widows to be provided, exterior to be strong and conventional and inner shall be with Glass & Aluminium or of un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) as in USA and UK .The financially backward people of the Penthakata area could not provide this double window. The houses with no window but very small openings to be provided.  Electrification should be underground and the area to be vegetated with bushy trees encircling by creepers to avoid fire, electrocution and trauma due to falling trees.  No concrete or masonry overhead water tanks rather multiple PVC Tanks with lower capacity to reduce trauma.  Institutional, Official buildings and religious units should be constructed with a long return period minimum 50years.  All structures must be approved from Municipality and PKDA (Puri –Konark development authority for Penthakata area.

The after myth:

Scientists from ICAR- CIFRI (Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute), Barrackpore, Calcutta reported in June 2019, that Puri district have suffered from extensive and severe damages (≈90%) to kutcha houses (completely), Semi-pucca 9mostly roofs),fishing gears and crafts, agri-produces, household belongings by the fishermen families. The lady counsellor Mrs. Minakhi Prasad of Penthakata Ward No-26 expressed her panic about rescuing the cyclone victims and came forward to serve relief along with her SHG group in her cyclone affected areas. Similarly Mr. Chepala Chiranjeevi, the counsellor of ward No 32 was in front of the process of evacuation, rescue and relief team to serve the people. As collected from Government sources the losses that occurred to fishermen community at Puri district are Table 3.

Coping/ confronting Fani:

The urban slum dwellers and rural communities are vulnerable to floods and cyclone hits. The affected people and the government pose major challenge to restore, rehabilitate and relocate the disaster oustees. These permanent inhabitants have their livelihood and earning avenues depend upon the means and sources of the neighbourhood areas. These informal building are dilapidated with the gusty spells of the cyclone Fani. The structures made up of barbed fenced earthen houses, thatched roofs, old buildings with deteriorated and weakened conditions of walls, unreinforced or old poorly constructed structures of rural, and slum communities are most vulnerable for storm impact. The topography of land, and temporary shelters in low lying, lacustrine, coastal and isolated areas are also vulnerable to the Aeolian forces and whirl wind zones affect the poor structures.

Resilience Fund for Cyclone by NGO’s: Women in the Penthakata fishermen group after the Fani incidence have created a resilient fund to combat the sufferings the cyclone, coast erosion and MSLR had given them for a safe and prospective future. The slum-thrum’s at Penthakata area is ready to be newly rebuild/erected with cyclone resilient dwelling houses. A community development group membered by women of the locality (653 women from hamlets and slum houses with initial contribution (Rs200/head +monthly Rs10/-) organised to form a resilient group added with @Rs 2000/head + 50Kg of rice + Polythene sheet and came forward to combat the distress. The amount expected by the group was Rs 130000/ month was deposited safely in the bank (on interaction with Madam. Varsha Misra, SPANDAN, Local NGO Sahana Ghosh on 12th Nov. 2019 Monga Bay .

Post Fani Psychological response among fishermen:

When the roofs of houses are blown off, roads are blocked with debris, the answer of the public and fishermen community about their psychological feeling on land slamming of the ESCS Fani has been interviewed and recorded their replies for the different stages of the disaster. Their answers were analysed for their psychological trauma, the results were:

# Stages Raw narratives Observations 1 Pre-cyclone We had no intent to shift to the cyclone centre near Mixed anxiety stage (Initial Irrigation Office. We have the feeling that we can and fear phase stage) face the cyclone as we have faced Phailin and Hudhud but a fear at back like loss of house, property and life. Fishermen were astonished, cyclones land fall in odisha in post monsoon and how Fani is in pre-monsoon (Doni Nageswar Rao, one respondent) 2 Approaching No time to think of anything, rescue the women, Confrontaton cyclone children, sick and geriatrics to the Cyclone Shelter phase : Exhaust (Combating (for refugee) with costly belongings and packets of totally dealing stage) food and drinking water. Keeping the fishing crafts, the forthcoming fishing gears, and boat in safe places, away from sea calamity thinking of large surges and erosion 3 Landfall When the winds are high, tree branches are flying in Disillusionment: Phase air, no officials/NGOs are nearby we became Phase: (slamming hopeless felt that no timely help will reach us. So stage) prayed the lords Ayyappan, Polerammamata & Polombamata.. 4 Surpassed We are engaged in collecting the usable, shifting to Reorganization stage the half dilapidated houses, collecting food from phase relief and clearing roads. We all are in a stage of mental and emotional reconstruction and stabilizing particularly old and children. Happy that less trauma occurred; 5 Normalcy Paying gratitude Gods and deities that at least State of repose stage survived and safe. The joy that received the relief from others. Planning for repaire renovation, reconstruction and recouping the losses physical and materially from mental trauma.

To overcome Psychological Trauma:

Self-efficacy is to be nurtured to overcome the depression on the losses either life of kiths and kins or property. Loss of life and property within the is regular and poverty is common the fishermen group (both young and old) to develop psychological trauma. Self - efficacy is the only practice to overcome such state of mind by inculcating and developing self-confidence of that “I can”. The practice of I can do it, I am capable, I can fight, I have the potency, and many more can increase the level of positive thinking keep away from the psych disorder Bandura A. 1977[6] and 1997[7]. Flammer A. 2001[8].

Mismanagement during Disillusionment phase:

Mismanagement of the evacuation officials that keeping families hither and thither which created discontentment among the cyclone victims in the refugee centre. There was dissatisfaction among the affected people that they were under polythene and acanty supply of food for days together instead there are so many pukka buildings in the area as reported by Kedar Jalli aged 58years and Jagannath Reddy (25years) and Gunna Rao (40yearsof Penthakata. Due to disruption in electric supply the refugees were in dark at night and there was poor supply of safe drinking water during the calamity. The brackish contaminated tube -well water were used with dissatisfaction (Rabindra Kumar Sethi from Ward No-32)

Discussion:

The NGO working is the Penthakata area is People's Empowerment & Need based Community Development (PENCODE). They are involved in training of fishermen family for both men and women to improve in economic and social sectors through self-help group (SHG) like community development, health and hygine, neonatal care of mother and the child sanitation, water supply and nutrition etc. . Mr. Prasanta Behera, the president of the Odisha Traditional Fish Workers’ Union (OTFWU, have told in grief that Phailin and Hudhud had made Penthakata fishermen bankrupt but the cyclone Fani must compel the fishermen community for migration.

Urgent necessity: Government intervention

Presently the economy of this fishing community are involved with production (catches); processing; marketing; finance & credit and manufacturing of fishing gears and crafts. The most important is the processing and preserving fishes. Ice factory are essential sister concern to fishing industry to store fishes. Puri town has a number of cold storages but all are private status. The storing cost is higher which forces the fisherman to sell their catches at throw away prices. Puri town has potential of 7 Ice plants of total capacity 108MT but less utilised for only 70MT. The list of storages and capacity of storage is given in Table….

The demands of Fishermen community:

a. The town has no jetty or fish landing centre for mechanised boats. b. Only the registered boat owners are to get relief but the unregistered illiterate boat owners shall not. They should share the relief. c. The unhygienic and unplanned settlements within the slum area with narrow and murky roads and the smell of dry fish need to be replaced by well-planned and organised settlements with all community development structure like another schools, auditorium, . d. The Fishermen community were considered as 2nd class citizen to Puri town. Though most of them have voting rights and Adhar card still they are some who are deprived. It is the duty of district administration to locate them, issue residence card and allow them all facilities. e. Fishermen community report that, the trawler menace are their professional opponents as motorised fishing crafts are violating the OMFR Act and CRZ policies, exploiting fish source and depriving traditional fishermen from their livelihood, Venkatesh S., 2006.[5] f. The Golden beach of the pilgrim city attracts tourists round the year for sea bath and Lord Jagannath. The continuous erosion of Puri beach has seen increased drowning death tolls after December Tsunami-2004 and state administration has appointed temporary coastal guards (from these fishermen community) to rescue the bathing tourist from drowning trauma. They are temporarily appointed and their monthly income is insufficient for their daily livelihood. They need to be regularised and considered as regular employees of the appointing agencies.

Conclusion: Last 70 to 80 years the migrant but presently settled Telgu fishermen community have dominated the marine fishing industry and the travel from temporary palm leaf huts to modern fishing gears and fish crafts have made them recognised. The cyclone Fani has ravaged their fishing crafts, gears and boats and forced them to their 20th century status. The lessons learnt from the cyclone Fani as impact assessment are need for Disaster-risk Management Programmes based upon Community participation, Institutions for Disaster Management (creation and strengthening), ERC’s (emergency response centers), Awareness initiatives and EOC’s (emergency operation centres) on short-term basis and long-term plans.
