PREFACE

The Karur District Disaster Management Plan is a key part of an emergency management. It will play a significant role to address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district such as floods effectively. The information available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use during disaster. Based on the history of the past disasters that occured in the district, the plan has been so designed as an action plan rather than a resource book. Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather than a bulky one. While preparing this plan, most of the issues, relevant to crisis management, have been carefully dealt with. During the time of disaster there will be a delay before outside help arrives. At first, self-help is essential and depends on a prepared community which is alert and informed. Efforts have been made to collect and develop this plan to make it more applicable and effective to handle Floods and Drought which affects Karur District during Monsoon seasons.

During a disaster, the resources from this DDMP can be ordered without delay, which will make the response time lesser. List of medical doctors, blood banks, public health centers, government and private hospitals have been included in this plan. This plan also provides an important list of websites, available materials etc. As a whole, this is a genuine effort of the district administration to develop the plan and if you have any suggestions and comments be free to convey the same so that we can include them in the next edition. We are thankful to all the institutions and persons who have provided us the vital information in time.

Dr.T.PRABHUSHANKAR, I.A.S District Collector, Karur District.

1.2 Background of the District

The headquarters of the district, Karur, is one of the oldest towns in Tamil Nadu and has played a very significant role in the glorious history and culture of the Tamils. It has been built on the banks of river Amaravathi that was called Annaporunai during the Sangam days. It has been the battle ground of various Tamil Kings like Chera, Chola, Pandya and Pallavas because of its strategic location and has been sung by many poets of Sangam period. The names of the early Chera Kings, who ruled from Karur, have been found in the rock inscriptions in Aru Nattar Malai close to Karur. The Tamil Epic Silapathikaram mentions that the famous Chera King, Cheran Senguttuvan, ruled from Karur.

The Greek scholar, Ptolemy, has mentioned about “Korevora” which was a very famous inland trading centre in Tamil Nadu. After the early Cheras, Karur was conquered and ruled by Pandyas followed by Pallavas and later Chloas. Karur was ruled for a long time by Chola Kings and the Naickers followed by Tippu Sultan. The British added Karur to their possessions after destroying the Karur Fort during their war against Tippu Sultan in 1783.

There is a memorial at Rayanur near Karur for the warriors who lost their lives in the fight against the British in the Anglo Mysore war. Thereafter, Karur became part of British India and was first part of Coimbatore District. In 1910, it became a part of Tiruchirappalli District. On 30th September 1995, Karur District was formed by trifurcating of Tiruchirappalli District.

1.3 Administrative Divisions

The district constitutes 2 Revenue divisions and 7 Taluks (Karur, Aravakurichi, Pugalur, Kulithalai Krishnarayapuram, Kadavur and Manmangalam), 8 Development Blocks, 2 Municipalities, 20 Firkas, 203 Revenue villages, 11 Town Panchayats, 157 Village Panchayats.

The forest resources of this district are very meagre when compared to the State as a whole. Karur District has only about 2.38% of its land under forest cover. The tropical dry thorny forest available in this district is situated mostly in Kadavur Taluk and in small patches in the other parts of the district. The main forest produce in the district is firewood. The varieties of timber found in the hilly tracks are Neem, Malai Vembu, Manja Kadambu, Navel etc. The fruit trees commonly found in the district is Tamarind. The major wild animals like elephant, tigers etc. are not found anywhere in the district.

The Reserve forests in this district are identified as degraded forests and therefore Karur forest division is implementing Tamil Nadu Afforestation Project since 1997. The specific objectives of this project are improving the productivity of forests by creating rich tree cover through intensive soil conservation and water harvesting measures, preservation of areas which are rich in bio-diversity and management of natural resources through joint forest management.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

1.8 Soil

The soils of Karur District can be broadly classified into 4 major soil types’ viz., red soil, thin red soil, red loam, and river alluvium. Red soil is the predominant one covering major part of the district followed by thin red soil and red loam. The red soil is predominantly seen in Kadavur, Kulithalai, Krishnarayapuram, Thanthoni and Thogamalai blocks. The thin red soil is mostly seen in Aravakurichi and K.Paramathy blocks. Major portion of the Karur block is covered by red loam.

1.9 Landuse Pattern

The total geographical area of the district is mostly covered by cropland and fallow land. The digital Landuse/Land cover database of National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) reveals that about 57 and 22 per cent area of total geographical area of the district falls under cropland and fallow land respectively in 2015-2016. The urban settlement is densely populated at Karur city around the River Amaravathi and its periphery, and the rural settlement is linearly spread along the roadways and water bodies of district. The proportion of rural areas to total geographical area of the district is 90 per cent. The barren land is mostly spread over the western and southern part of the district. The grassland is sparsely found at eastern and western parts of district, further deciduous forest is covered at the southern fringes of the district at Rangamalai hills and Kadavur hills.

1.10 Agriculture

A combination of factors such as increasing industrialization, urbanization, housing activities and infrastructure development triggered the conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural uses. This has resulted in a decline of the area under cultivation. The scope for expansion of the area available for cultivation is also very limited. Even though the district is primarily an agrarian society, the pattern of land ownership imposes limitations on the models that can be adopted for agricultural development.

In the District, there are 1.46 lakh operational holdings, of which 0.92 lakh holdings are equal to or below one hectare; 0.26 lakh holdings are between one hectare to two hectares and 0.27 lakh holdings are above 2 hectares.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

The Department of Agriculture implements the Integrated Cereal development programme, National Pulses development programme, Oilseeds Production Programme, Oil Palm Development Programme and National Watershed Development Programme for Rain fed Areas in the district. The district has one State Seed Farm situated at Inungur in Kulithalai Taluk. The main objective of this farm is production and distribution of quality seed of Paddy and Millets. There are 24 wholesale fertilizer retail shops and 232 Fertilizer dealer shops in the district. While, 82 Primary Agriculture Credit Societies are also functioning to meet the fertilizer and pesticide needs of the farmers.

1.10.1 Irrigation

The Cauvery system channels are the main source of irrigation. The irrigation facilities are often found inadequate to raise crops throughout the year. Because of inadequate storage and seasonal variations in the river flow, there are severe shortages of water during critical months. Irrigation wells provide an unfailing supply of water and form important source of irrigation in the district. There are 46219 wells in the district during 2015-16, used exclusively for irrigation; 46341 pump-sets were energised till March 2015 - 2016. As per the village records, net area sown in Karur District in 2015-16 was 82352.50 hectares. Out of this, 48212.26 hectares were irrigated.

1.10.2 Cropping Pattern

The economy of the district is mainly agrarian. Agriculture provides sustenance to around 33% of the labour force in the district and forms the basis for a vast market of consumer goods and agro based industries. The cropping pattern of the district is closely influenced by the topography, rainfall, socio-economic and political factors. The principal cereal crops of this district are Paddy, Cholam and Cumbu. Among the pulses, the major crops raised are red gram, black gram, green gram and horse gram. Pulses are predominantly cultivated as rain fed crops.

Among the oil seeds groundnut, gingerly and sunflower occupy important place. Groundnut cultivation is undertaken under irrigated as well as rain fed areas. Sugarcane is the major commercial crop raised under irrigation. Farm output not only meets the food requirements of the district, but also supplied to other parts of Tamil Nadu.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

The handloom industry in Karur generates nearly an annual turnover of Rs.2,000 crores through direct and indirect exports of textile goods. The development of export as a major trade has led to the enormous growth of other allied industries like handloom and power loom weaving units, dyeing and bleaching units, tailoring, packaging units etc. The handloom and its allied industries provide direct and indirect employment to over two lakh persons. Besides textiles, Karur is known for mosquito knitting and bus body fabrication.

Karur also holds a place of pride in cottage industries.

CHAPTER-II

DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (DDMP)

2.1 Introduction

As per the Section 31 of Disaster Management Act 2005, it is mandatory on the part of District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) to adopt a continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating, and implementing measures to prevent as well as mitigate the disasters The objective of the District Disaster Management Plan is to devise a set of guidelines for District level disaster preparedness, prevention, mitigation and monitoring which will grow into becoming a well–defined protocol for disaster management that will be updated periodically. Every line department in the District will need to prepare their own Disaster Management Plans.

At the District Level, Disaster Management plans will be drawn up under the supervision of the District collector in consultation with all the concerned departments. The emergency Support Function of various departments will be listed out in the plan. An inventory of resource in the district will be listed out. All of this will converge into the District plan and mesh into another. While the District Disaster Management Plan will form the framework for the entire District, it will be fine-tuned further by requirements of individual district units and emergency situation.

2.2 Vision

To build a safer, disaster resilient district by developing a holistic and multi-pronged strategy for Disaster Management that will harness collective efforts of all stakeholders during any emergency.

2.3 Mission

i. To identify the areas vulnerable to major types of the hazards in the district. ii. To adopt proactive measures at district level by all the Government departments to prevent disaster and mitigate its effects.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

iii. To define and assign the different tasks and responsibilities to stakeholders during the pre-disaster and post-disaster phases of the disaster. iv. To enhance disaster resilience of the people in the district by way of capacity building. v. Reduce the loss of public and private property, especially critical facilities and infrastructure, through proper planning. vi. Manage future development to mitigate the effect of natural hazards in the district. vii. To define roles and responsibility of District Emergency Operations Centre to function effectively in search, rescue and response operations. viii. To develop the standardized mechanism to respond to disaster situation to manage the disaster efficiently. ix. To prepare a response plan based upon the guidelines issued in the State Disaster Management Plan so as to provide prompt relief, rescue and search support in the disaster affected areas. x. To adopt disaster resilient construction mechanism in the district by way of using Information, Education and Communication for making the community aware of the need of disaster resilient future development. The DDMP of Karur District will serve as a general guide for disaster management in the district i.e. prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This Plan has been prepared to respond to disasters with sense of urgency in a planned way to minimize human, property and environmental loss. 2.4 Strategies

In order to reduce disaster risk, there is a need to address existing challenges and prepare for future by monitoring, assessing and understanding disaster risk and strengthening disaster risk governance. Hence, the following short-term and long term strategies need to be adapted to substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of the communities. 17

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

2.4.1 Short-term Strategies (2018-2021)

o Promoting programs of contingency crop planning and crop diversification in agriculture.

o Construction of walled structure for the open wells along the transport lines as a risk prevention measure.

o Assess and strengthen critical infrastructures (water, electricity, sanitation and accessibility) in schools/colleges/community halls for their use as emergency shelters.

o De-silt and remove weeds like acacia in the ponds, tanks, streams and rivers to increase the storage of fresh water.

o Identify accident hotspots (transport and industry) and prevent / mitigate the risks by developing necessary facilities at appropriate locations.

o Perform vulnerability assessment in hazard-prone areas and construct hazard resilient hospitals / health centres.

o Develop a standardized mechanism in each block to respond to disaster situation and to manage the disaster efficiently.

o Strengthen the capacity of local authorities to evacuate persons living in disaster-prone areas.

o Enhance disaster resilience of the people in the district by way of capacity building at regular intervals.

o Promote comprehensive insurance and credit schemes to all farmers of the district to compensate for crop damage and loss to livelihood.

o Review and revise EIA periodically and other project appraisal guidelines and procedures to reduce the potential disaster risk related consequences of the project.

o Increase the availability of and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments to local people.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

o Adopt vector control measures to reduce the health risks according to internationally agreed methods and ensure that staff and the affected population are adequately protected.

o Create a culture of preparedness and prevention among the public and evolve a code of conduct for all stake-holders.

2.4.2 Long-term Strategies (2020-2030)

By streamlining the developmental activities into disaster risk reduction, a sustainable long-term development could be achieved besides substantial reduction of disaster risk.

o Prepare and periodically update disaster preparedness and contingency policies, plans and programmes with the involvement of the relevant institutions, considering climate change scenarios and their impact on disaster risk and facilitating the participation of all sectors and relevant stakeholders.

o Increase the investments in preparedness, prevention and mitigation rather than for relief operations which would yield better results.

o Adopt disaster resilient construction mechanism in the district for making the community aware of the need of disaster resilient future development.

o Ensure children of the district should attain proper school education and increase the overall literacy rate from the current 76 percent.

o Increase and promote the public transport systems in the district to reduce traffic congestions and pollution and save the fuel energy.

o Conduct requirement and feasibility studies to construct canals / check dams / barrages across all major streams / rivers of the district so as to increase groundwater recharge and agricultural command area.

o Document the use of traditional, indigenous and local knowledge and practices, as appropriate, to complement scientific knowledge in disaster risk assessment and the development and implementation of policies, strategies, plans and programmes of specific sectors.

o Develop and amend land use and zoning regulations for managing risk of population in vulnerable locations. 19

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

2.5 Scope of the Plan

The scope of the disaster plan is to upgrade the knowledge and skills so as to have a better understanding of natural and man-made disasters, and their management. The plan provides an insight to Government Officials, NGO’s, Private Sectors and the citizens namely local communities to have a basic understanding of the concepts and to prepare themselves to act proactively and cope up with before, during and after stages of disaster.

2.6 Stakeholders and their Responsibilities

The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) and the Office of the Principal Secretary / Commissioner of Revenue Administration and State Relief Commissioner are the major institutions in the State that deal with all the phases of disaster management. All the major line departments of the State Government and the emergency support function agencies converge into (State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) during disasters.

The District Disaster Management Authority, with the District Collector designated as Response Officer (RO), and other line departments are responsible at district level to deal with all phases of disaster management within district.

Other technical institutions, community at large, local self-governments, NGOs etc. are also stakeholders of the District Disaster Management Plan. The role of the stakeholders has been prepared with the sole objective of making the concerned organizations understand their duties and responsibilities regarding disaster management at all levels and accomplishing them.

2.6.1 The District Collector has the following duties:

i. To facilitate and coordinate with local Government bodies to ensure that pre and post disaster management activities in the district. ii. To assist community training, awareness programmes and the installation of emergency facilities with the support of local administration, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

iii. To function as a leader of the team and take appropriate actions to smoothen the response and relief activities to minimize the adverse impact of disaster. iv. To recommend the Commissioner of Relief (CoR) and State Government for declaration of disaster. 2.6.2 Local Authorities have the following duties:

i. To provide assistance to the District Collector in disaster management activities. ii. To ensure training of its officers and employees and maintenance of resources so as to be readily available for use, in the event of a disaster. iii. To undertake capacity building measures and awareness and sensitization of the community iv. To ensure that all construction projects under it conform to the standards and specifications lay down. v. Each Department of the Government sector in the district shall prepare a disaster management plan for the district. The local authorities need to ensure that relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in the affected area, within the district, are carried out. 2.6.3 Trust/Organisations managing Places of Worships and Congregation:

i. Each establishment/organisation including places of congregation identified as “critical infrastructure and key resource” in the district. ii. They have to carry out DDMP mitigation, response, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. 2.6.4 Private Sector:

i. The private sector should be encouraged to ensure their active participation in the pre-disaster activities in alignment with the overall plan developed by the DDMA or the Collector. ii. They should adhere to the relevant rules regarding prevention of disasters, as may be stipulated by relevant local authorities.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

iii. They can undertake Disaster Risk Reduction projects in consultation with District Collector for enhancing district‘s resilience. 2.6.5 Community Groups and Volunteer Agencies: i. Local community groups and voluntary agencies including NGOs normally help in prevention and mitigation activities under the overall direction and supervision of the DDMA or the Collector. ii. They should be encouraged to participate in all training activities as may be organized and should familiarise themselves with their role in disaster management. 2.6.6 Citizens:

i. It is the duty of every citizen to assist the District Collector or such other person entrusted with or engaged in disaster management whenever demanded generally for the purpose of disaster management.

2.7 Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM)

While planning to manage disasters, it is natural to assume that a government run approach would be the norm. The fact remains that in every disaster, the local community is the first to respond with any departmental team that is the first to arrive. Hence, disaster preparedness and response are to be seen as not solely the work of government but also in harnessing the efforts of affected community, local volunteers, citizens, organisations, and businesses. Every citizen has an active and important role to play prior to, during and after major emergencies and disaster. Therefore, the Disaster Management Plan seeks to set in place a process that seeks to develop and implement a locally appropriate and locally owned strategy for disaster preparedness and risk reduction with the machinery and resources of the government at all levels.

Local communities are the first to be involved in search and rescue activities as well as in providing emergency treatment and relief to their families, friends, and neighbours. Therefore, government ideally in partnership with other community organisations in improving the skills and knowledge of these “spontaneous” disaster responders by providing them with education and training in preparedness measures, basic rescue techniques, first aid, and emergency. 22

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

2.8 How to use the Plan

i. District Magistrate / Chairperson of DDMA will have the powers of overall supervision direction and control as may be specified under State Government Rules/State Disaster Management Plan guidelines. ii. The District Magistrate or his designee will coordinate and control resources of the District. iii. The district EOC will be staffed and operated as the situation dictates. When activated, operations will be supported by senior officers from line departments and central government agencies; private sector and volunteer organizations may be used to provide information, data, and resources to cope with the situation. iv. Emergency public information will be disseminated by all available media outlets through the designated media and information officer. v. Prior planning and training of personnel are prerequisites to effective emergency operations and must be considered as integral parts of disaster preparations. vi. Coordination with surrounding districts is essential, when an event occurs, that impacts beyond district boundaries. Procedure should be established and exercised for inter district collaboration. vii. Departments, agencies, and organizations assigned either primary or supporting responsibilities in this document must develop implementation documents in order to support this plan. viii. When local resources prove to be inadequate during emergency operations, request for assistance will be made to the State or higher levels of government and other agencies in accordance with set rules and procedures. ix. District authority will use normal channel for requesting assistance and/or resources, i.e., through the DEOC to the SEOC. If State resources have been exhausted, the State will arrange to provide the needed resources through central assistance. x. The DEOC will coordinate with the SEOC, Agencies of the Govt. of India like IMD/CWC to maintain upto-date information concerning potential flooding, cyclones etc. As appropriate, such information will be provided to the citizens of the affected areas in the district. 23

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

xi. Upon receipt of potential problems in these areas, DEOC/designated officials will appropriately issue alert and notify action to be taken by the residents. xii. Disaster occurrence could result in disruption of government functions and, therefore, all levels of local government and their departments should develop and maintain procedures to ensure continuity of Government action.

CHAPTER-III

HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, CAPACITY AND RISK ASSESSMENT 3.1 Basic Concepts

A disaster can be defined as “A serious disruption in the functioning of the community or a society causing wide spread material, economic, social or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected society to cope using its own resources”. A disaster is a result from the combination of hazard, vulnerability and insufficient capacity or measures to reduce the potential chances of risk. A flood is disastrous only when it affects people, their properties and activities. Thus, disaster occurs only when hazards and vulnerability meet. Therefore, we need to understand the four major components namely hazard, vulnerability, capacity and risk to have a basic understanding of disaster management.

3.1.1 Hazard

Hazard may be defined as “a dangerous condition or event, that threat or have the potential for causing injury to life or damage to property or the environment.” Hazards can be grouped into two broad categories namely natural and manmade.

Natural hazards are hazards which are caused because of natural phenomena (hazards with meteorological, geological or even biological origin). Examples of natural hazards are cyclones, tsunamis, earthquake and volcanic eruption which are exclusively of natural origin.

Manmade hazards are hazards which are due to human negligence. Manmade hazards are associated with industries or energy generation facilities and include explosions, leakage of toxic waste, pollution, dam failure, wars or civil strife etc.

Landslides, floods, drought, fires are socio-natural hazards since their causes are both natural and man made. For example flooding may be caused because of heavy rains, landslide or blocking of drains with human waste.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

3.1.2 Vulnerability

Vulnerability may be defined as “the extent to which a community, structure, services or geographic area is likely to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction and proximity to hazardous terrains or a disaster prone area.” Vulnerabilities can be categorized into physical and socio-economic vulnerability.

Physical Vulnerability: It includes notions of who gets affected and what may be damaged/destroyed by natural hazard such as earthquakes or floods. It is based on the physical condition of people and elements at risk, such as buildings, infrastructure etc; and their proximity, location and nature of the hazard. It also relates to the technical capability of building and structures to resist the forces acting upon them during a hazard event. Socio-Economic Vulnerability: The degree to which a population is affected by a hazard will not merely lie in the physical components of vulnerability but also on the socio-economic conditions. The socio-economic condition of the people also determines the intensity of the impact. For example, people who are poor and living in the sea coast don’t have the money to construct strong concrete houses. They are generally at risk and lose their shelters whenever there is strong wind or cyclone. Because of their poverty they too are not able to rebuild their houses.

3.1.3 Capacity

Capacity can be defined as “resources, means and strengths which exist in households and communities and which enable them to cope with, withstand, prepare for, prevent, mitigate or quickly recover from a disaster”. People’s capacity can also be taken into account. Capacities could be:

Physical Capacity: People whose houses have been destroyed by the cyclone or crops have been destroyed by the flood can salvage things from their homes and from their farms. Some family members have skills, which enable them to find employment if they migrate, either temporarily or permanently.

Socio-economic Capacity: In most of the disasters, people suffer their greatest losses in the physical and material realm. Rich people have the capacity to recover soon because of their wealth. In fact, they are seldom hit 26

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 by disasters because they live in safe areas and their houses are built with stronger materials. However, even when everything is destroyed they have the capacity to cope up with it.

3.1.4 Risk

Risk is a “measure of the expected losses due to a hazard event occurring in a given area over a specific time period. Risk is a function of the probability of particular hazardous event and the losses each would cause.” The level of risk depends upon:

 Nature of the hazard  Vulnerability of the elements which are affected  Economic value of those elements

A community/locality is said to be at ‘risk’ when it is exposed to hazards and is likely to be adversely affected by its impact. Whenever we discuss ‘disaster management’ it is basically ‘disaster risk management’. Disaster risk management includes all measures which reduce disaster related losses of life, property, or assets by either reducing the hazard or vulnerability of the elements at risk.

3.2 Disaster Management Cycle

Disaster Risk Management cycle includes sum total of all activities, programmes and measures which can be taken up before, during and after a disaster with the purpose to avoid a disaster, reduce its impact or recover from its losses. The three key stages of activities that are taken up within disaster risk management are:

Pre-Disaster - this phase is the narrow window when the impending disaster is going to happen and there is high possibility of panic or steps that would help tomitigate the impact of the disaster. During this phase, the focus is on steps necessary for safeguarding lives and assets of the area likely to be affected by taking appropriate action so as to reach out to potential damage areas in a prompt and coordinated manner.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

Phases of Disaster Management

During Disaster - when the disaster is running its course. This phase will test the preparedness and training being given to a community for a holistic and effective approach to attend to the immediate needs of the affected population in minimum time possible even while the disaster is on. Fast response, mobilization, organization of search and rescue, safety to life and property and other disaster mitigation steps will determine the effective response at this stage.

Post Disaster - when the disaster has struck and the impact of the disaster requires several urgent steps to restore normalcy - both in the immediate and long-term. This phase will work on building back the community so as to attain normalcy in the community utilizing both local resources and the government machinery in the most effective manner within the shortest possible time.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

Recovery,Rehabilitation and Building Back Better (BBB) are the key words.

Non Disaster - based on the Sendai Framework adopted at the third United Nation World conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held in March 2015, the DDMP provides for an approach that looks the fourth possible phase of the disaster i.e. "Non Disaster " which the world prefers.

3.3 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction

The Sendai Framework is a 15-year (2015-2030), voluntary, non-binding agreement which recognizes that the State has the primary role to reduce disaster risk but that responsibility should be shared with other stakeholders including local government, the private sector and other stakeholders. It was adopted at the Third United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, held during March 2015 in Sendai, Japan. It aims for “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”

United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) has been tasked to support the implementation, follow-up and review of the Sendai Framework. The Framework outlines its scope and purpose, expected outcomes, goal, 7 targets, 4 priorities for action with supporting rationale and 13 guiding principles.

3.3.1 Scope and Purpose

The present framework will apply to the risk of small-scale and large- scale, frequent and infrequent, sudden and slow-onset disasters, caused by natural or manmade hazards as well as related environmental, technological and biological hazards and risks. It aims to guide the multi-hazard management of disaster risk in development at all levels as well as within and across all sectors

3.3.2 Expected Outcomes

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.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

3.3.4 Global Targets

1. Substantially reduce global disaster mortality by 2030, aiming to lower average per 100,000 global mortality rate in the decade 2020- 2030 compared to the period 2005-2015.

2. Substantially reduce the number of affected people globally by 2030, aiming to lower average global figure per 100,000 in the decade 2020 -2030 compared to the period 2005-2015.

3. Reduce direct disaster economic loss in relation to global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030.

4. Substantially reduce disaster damage to critical infrastructure and disruption of basic services, among them health and educational facilities, including through developing their resilience by 2030.

5. Substantially increase the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020.

6. Substantially enhance international cooperation to developing countries through adequate and sustainable support to complement their national actions for implementation of this Framework by 2030.

7. Substantially increase the availability of and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments to the people by 2030.

3.3.5 Priorities for Action

Priority 1 - Understanding disaster risk

Priority 2 - Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage

disaster risk

Priority 3 - Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience

Priority 4 - Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

3.3.6 Role of stakeholders

While Central and State Governments have the overall responsibility for reducing disaster risk, it is a shared responsibility between Governments and relevant stakeholders. When determining specific roles and responsibilities for stakeholders, the Governments should encourage the following actions on the part of all public and private stakeholders:

. Civil society, volunteers, organized voluntary work organizations and community-based organizations to participate, in collaboration with public institutions, to, inter alia, provide specific knowledge and pragmatic guidance in the context of the development and implementation of normative frameworks, standards and plans for disaster risk reduction. Adequate capacity building measures need to be taken to empower women for preparedness as well as to build their capacity to secure alternate means of livelihood in post-disaster situations

. Academia, scientific and research entities and networks to focus on the disaster risk factors and scenarios, including emerging disaster risks, in the medium and long term; and support the interface between policy and science for decision-making;

. Business, professional associations and private sector financial institutions, including philanthropic foundations, to integrate disaster risk management; and engage in awareness-raising and training for their employees and customers;

. Media to take an active and inclusive role at all levels in contributing to the raising of public awareness and understanding and disseminate accurate and non-sensitive disaster risk, hazard and disaster information. 3.4 Disaster Risk Management at District Level

When disasters threaten or strike a jurisdiction, people expect district administration to make immediate action to deal with the problem. The district administration is expected to marshal its resources, channel the efforts of voluntary agencies and private enterprise in the community, and solicit assistance from outside the jurisdiction if necessary. The administration in each jurisdiction is legally responsible for ensuring that necessary and appropriate actions are taken to protect people and property from the consequences of emergencies and disasters. District administration can 31

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 discharge its emergency management responsibilities by taking four interrelated action: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recover. A systematic approach is to treat each action as one phase of comprehensive process, with each phase building on the accomplishments of the proceeding one.

3.4.1 Mitigation

Mitigation actions involve lasting, often permanent, reduction of exposure to probability or potential loss from hazard event. Mitigation also involves educating the public on simple measures they can take to reduce loss and injury. Cost-effective mitigation measures are the keys to reduce disaster losses in the long term. There is also a need for planning to take advantage of mitigation opportunities in the aftermath of an emergency or disaster.

3.4.2 Preparedness

While mitigation can make communities safer, it does not eliminate risk and vulnerability for all hazards. Therefore, administration must be ready to face emergency threats that have not been mitigated away. Since emergencies often evolve rapidly and become too complex for effective improvisation the government can successfully discharge its emergency management responsibilities only by taking certain actions beforehand. This is preparedness and it involves establishing authorities and responsibilities for emergency actions and garnering the resources to support them. To ensure that the district’s investment in emergency management personnel and resources can be relied upon when needed, there must be a program of tests, drills, and exercises.

3.4.3 Response

The onset of an emergency creates a need for time-sensitive actions to save lives and property as well as for action to begin stabilizing the situation so that the district can regroup. Such response actions include notifying emergency management personnel of the crisis, warning and evacuating or sheltering the population if possible, keeping the population informed, rescuing individuals and providing medical treatment, maintaining the rule of law, assessing damage, addressing mitigation issues that arise from response activities and even requesting help from outside the district.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

3.4.4 Recovery

Recovery is the effort to restore infrastructure and the social and economic life of a community to normal, but it should incorporate mitigation as a goal. For the short term, recovery may mean bringing necessary lifeline system (e.g. Power, communication, water and transportation) up to an acceptable standard while providing for basic human needs (e.g. food, clothing and shelter) and ensuring that the social need of individuals and the community are met (e.g. maintain the rule of law). Once some stability is achieved, the administration can begin recovery efforts for the long term, restoring economic activity, and rebuilding community facilities and family housing with attention to long-term mitigation needs.

3.5 Hazard Profile of the District

Karur is landlocked district, restricted to few natural disasters viz. geological (Earthquake), hydro-meteorological (Cyclone, Flood, Drought, Heat wave) and epidemics. Apart from natural disasters with the development in the field of science and technology the life of mankind has become complex and also vulnerable to man-made disaster like road, railway accidents and industrial disaster, etc.

The entire district falls under the category Zone II with an intensity of Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik (MSK) VII or less as per the Seismic Zoning Map of India contained in IS 1893:2002 Fifth Revision. This zone is referred as Low Damage Risk Zone as per Building Material and Technology Promotion Council (BMPTC), which has no history of earthquakes above 5 magnitude in its vicinity.

The depression formed in the Bay of Bengal during the North-East monsoon season i.e. October, November, and December leaves its impact in the form of torrential rains and cyclonic storms. The major and frequently reoccurring disasters in the district are drought, flood, heat wave and epidemics which are analysed in detail in the forthcoming sections.

3.6 Flood

The rivers Cauvery, Amaravathi, Naganchiyar, Kudaganaru and Noyyal form a major network of irrigation system in this district. The Cauvery river system including South Bank Channel, Kattalai High Level Channel, and New Kattalai High Level Channel is the major river system in the district which covers Karur, Krishnarayapuram and Kulithalai Taluks. Besides these major rivers, there are many jungle streams in the district which carry the rain water towards the tanks.

During 2005 Torrential downpour and flooding of the Amaravathi river have left a trail of devastation on the district's infrastructure. Highways and water supply schemes, a portion of the new Amaravathy bridge and erosion of gravel under railway tracks near Mayanur are some of the scars left behind by nature's fury.

An estimated 1,500 acres in the region where the Amaravathi meets the Cauvery could have been affected. Farmers' worries compounded as the floods left the fields full of sand, completely wiping out paddy, sugarcane and korai (reed grass) crops usually raised in the area. About four small bridges and culverts were washed away in the region, where over 70 trees lay uprooted.

Many culverts over channels and rivulets supporting roads and highways have been severely damaged in the district. In Kattalai breaches to embankments adjoining the Cauvery inundated the northern side of the Tiruchi-Karur highway. Two huge breaches in the bund of the South Bank Canal near Mayanur left gaping holes for 50 metres in each place.

It is said that the floodwaters coming in waves breached the bunds trying to reach the Cauvery just metres away.

The Nangavaram Kattu Vari breached in a couple of places and inundated paddy and sugarcane fields, villagers near Koundampatti claimed, but reports said the water had receded in the area.

3.6.1 Hazard

In the past, during northeast monsoon, heavy water flow in Cauvery and its tributaries, has affected the low lying areas of the river banks. Due to this Karur district experienced severe flood havoc during the year 1977 and 2005. In 2005, Karur district received 1,143 mm of annual rainfall, much above the normal rainfall, and experienced a severe flood which caused breach of flood 35

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 banks and channel, erosion of bunds , damages of road besides sand cast of lands human loss, cattle loss, hut damages and crop damages. Since, the average elevation of the area is ranges between 100 m and 200 m above mean sea level, a total of 9 low lying villages nearby river bed were marooned by flood and nearly 27 villages were affected by heavy flood.

Further, during the monsoon season there is maximum likelihood of flash flood through the jungle streams. Besides the problem of flooding in the river plains, heavy intensity rains could cause local flooding in certain areas where the drainage is either naturally poor or the drains are choked due to various reasons such as careless dumping of refuse in the drains and lack of maintenance. Much of the flooding problems in towns occur due to such causes.

The flood hazard map of district depicts clear picture of settlements settled along the major rivers and lakes and eventually prone to vagaries of nature in monsoonal floods. The flood hazard map shows three scenarios of flood inundation with 1m, 5m and 10m rise in the water bodies. The 1m rise in water resides as the most common and highly vulnerable to the adjacent villages at every peak monsoons. The 5m and 10m rise would further affect by submerging the whole villages situated along the water bodies. The highest hazard prone zones are the confluence region of the rivers Kudakanar and Amaravathi in the Aravakurichi Taluk and at the major confluence region of Amaravathi and Cauvery. The series of contiguous lakes results in outburst of flood in the rural villages of Krishnarayanapuram and Kadvur Taluks, causing a major havoc in the district. A frequency of minor flood is observed at least once in a three years and major flood at every 20 to 40 years of period.

3.6.2 Vulnerability

The flood vulnerability map of Karur district making all the riverine villages along the major rivers of the district. The lakes play a worsen role in the interior regions of district. The vulnerability map shows distinct four classes namely Very High, High, Moderate, and Low. The very high vulnerability has been traced to the confluence points of Amaravathi and Cauvery River and the immediate four surrounding villages (Mayanur, Krishnarayanapuram North, Reganathapuram North, Balarajapuram), followed by high to low vulnerability along the riverine villages, extended to the lake bodies. The table 2.5 shows the vulnerable villages in each taluks. 36

3.7 Drought

Drought is either absence or deficiency of rainfall from its normal pattern in a region for an extended period of time leading to general suffering in the society. It is interplay between demand that people place on natural supply of water and natural event that provides the water in the district. Since it is a slow on-set disaster, it is very difficult to demarcate the time of its onset and the end. Drought mainly occurs in the district by improper distribution of rain in time and space, and not just by its amount. The effects of drought accumulate in the district slowly over a considerable period of time. Drought, different from any other natural disaster, does not cause any structural damages.

3.7.1 Hazard

Though drought is a natural disaster, its effects are made worst in the district by over grazing, soil erosion, excessive use of ground and surface water for growing crops, loss of biodiversity. As normal rainfall fails to downpour for consecutive years, the metrological phenomenon turns into hydrological drought, the impacts start appearing first in agriculture which is most depends on the soil moisture. Irrigated areas are affected much later than the rainfed areas. However, regions along the river Cauvery tend to continue normal life to certain extent even when drought conditions Worsley affects other parts of the district. The impacts slowly spread into social fabric as the availability of drinking water diminishes, reduction in energy production, ground water depletion, food shortage, health reduction and loss of life, increased poverty, reduced quality of life and social unrest leading to migration.

Due to the failure of the north-east monsoon in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016, Karur district is witnessing drought like conditions as prevailed in the entire State during between 2012 and 2016, leading to poor agricultural productivity, rural distress, acute shortage of drinking water and fodder. The district has been reeling under drought conditions for five consecutive years (2012 -2016) and declared as drought-hit district owing to the more than 50 per cent of failure of the northeast monsoon in 2016.

114

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

There is a general impression that only dry land regions will be affected by drought, but now this tragic practice has been witnessed in fertile regions of the district as well. Unless appropriate and adequate social safety measures are put in place to tide over the drought crisis, distress may be aggravated even in irrigated zones. Hence, drought assessment has been carried out to visualize the severity of drought condition through satellite based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The drought assessment map shows a continuous increase drought condition from 2012 to 2017 in January months. The highest drought condition prevails continuously over the south and eastern parts Aravakurichi Taluk.

3.7.2 Vulnerability

The drought vulnerable map shows the vulnerability villages in the district. The map has been classed into four categories viz. Very High, High, Moderate and Low vulnerable. The very high vulnerability falls in Paramatti and surrounding of 13 villages. The high vulnerability class falls all over the Karur district except the river terraces of river Cauvery. The moderate and low vulnerability presence is found in the very few places distributed in the Kadvur and along the river Cauvery.

3.7.3 Highlights of Drought between 2004 and 2017 o The figure deviation of actual rainfall from normal amount shows clearly that in the last 12 years the district has received excess rainfall only in 2005 and 2008. But the district has recorded deficit of rainfall during 2012-2014 and 2016. o Continuous failure of monsoon over the last four years has led to the current precarious situation. As against the normal rainfall of 655 mm (State average is 945 mm), Karur district received 528 mm in 2012 and 489 mm in 2013. . The situation was very challenging in 2016 as the district has received only 350 mm of rainfall, which is half of the annual average rainfall. o Rainfed crops including red gram, sesame, groundnut, turmeric, and other cash crops had been hit due to lack of rain in the district.

115

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 o Besides other crops, hundreds of coconut and palm trees in Paramathi, Aravakurichi, Thanthoni and Karur blocks have been affected totally or partially.

3.8 Epidemics

The dengue is largely affected epidemics of the district in the recent years. Based on dengue cases reported during 2016-17, the blocks of the district has been classed into four categories Very High, High, Moderate and Low vulnerable blocks. The very high vulnerability class of 41 to 69 Dengue cases falls in Karur Municipality, followed by moderate vulnerability class of 21 to 40 dengue cases over Thogaimalai, Krishnarayanapuram, and Aravakurchi blocks. The moderate cases are registered over Kulithalai, Kadvur and Thanthoni blocks. The low vulnerability cases are found in K.Paramatti block. The reason of spread of dengue in Thogaimalai is connected to water stagnant in the dug pits of mining areas.

3.9 Heat Wave

A heat wave is a period of abnormal high temperatures, more than the normal maximum temperature that occurs during the (hot weather) summer season. The normal body temperature is about 370C. When people are exposed to high temperature, heat related disorders will occur. Karur district witnesses heat waves typically between the months of March and June. The extreme temperatures and resultant atmospheric conditions adversely affect people living in these regions as they cause physiological stress, sometimes resulting in death. The people aged 65 and older, infants and young children, pregnant women, people with chronic medical condition, outdoor workers are more susceptible to heat related illness.

3.9.1 Types of Heat Related Illness

1. Minor Health Related illness - Heat Rash, Heat edema, Heat titan, Heat Cramps, Heat syncope)

2. Minor Heat Related illness - Exertion associate collapse, Heat Exhaustion, Heat Stroke)

3.9.2 Measures need to be taken by PHCs

o Training and orientation need to given to all Medical Officers and Field Health Staffs for heat stroke preventive measures. o Provide clean drinking water, oral rehydration solution and nilavembu kasayam in all Public Health Facilities. o All patients and beneficiaries to be educated about heat illness, proper hydration, to avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight and working near high temperatures from 12 PM to 3 PM. o Display IEC materials in all Public Health Facilities and Private facilities.

3.10 Man-made Hazards

Man-made hazards include industrial accidents, fire, explosions, Chemical-Biological-Radiological (CBR) accidents, transport accidents, stampede and pollution. The complex infrastructure systems in the urban regions (particularly Karur city) make life and economic activities are possible by the same token increase the vulnerability of populations to disruptions caused by man-made accidents. Based on locations of vulnerable activities and infrastructure such as heavy and chemical industries, bridges and dams, man- made hazard map has been prepared and vulnerable locations / villages are identified. The vulnerable map shows a prediction of 2 km buffer region around the heavy and chemical industries that would affect the surrounding villages and towns, in the worst-case scenario of man-made disaster.

3.11 Multi-Hazard Vulnerability and Risk Assessment

Multi-hazard vulnerability and risk assessment is an important exercise for Karur district because some of the villages are prone to combination of natural and man-made disasters. Multi hazard assessment provides a holistic view of the total effects, impacts or expected loss due to the occurrence of various hazards. These details are essential to assess the vulnerability of the area to various hazards and take preventive measures. Without such details it would be extremely difficult to deal with disasters.

The multi-hazard risk assessment of the district is based on the major hazards (flood, drought, epidemics and man-made hazards); population exposed to these hazards; and possible loss for the exposure under conditions 121

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 caused by multiples hazards of varying magnitude. The multiple interacting hazards and their magnitude are compared with the village population density and the relevant vulnerability classes such as very high, high, moderate, and low are identified.

The very high vulnerable level defines that the village have two or more potential hazards with high density of population. The very high vulnerable comprises of Karur city and 11 villages viz. Andankovil (East), Appipalayam, Inam Karur, Melapalayam, Puliyur, Sanappiratti, Thanthonimalai, Thirumanelayur, Thoranakkalpatti, Uppidamangalam (East), and Nanjai Pugalur. The high vulnerable level defines that the village have atleast one potential hazard along with other moderate hazards and high to moderate density of population. The high vulnerable class occupies more than two-third of the District. The multi-hazard vulnerable map illustrates the clear picture of these villages which required better planning at village level.

3.12 Hazard Analysis Work Sheet

Based on hazard and vulnerability analysis a risk index has been developed for each hazard with the characteristic values viz. Catastrophic, Critical, Limited and Negligible. This index averages the value of all factors to determine the overall risk. The result of this process is tabulated with list of hazards that pose the greatest threat to the district. The planning team should prepare plan for each hazard for which the risk index exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Severity of Risk and Expected Impact

Severity Expected Impact Multiple deaths ,Complete shutdown of Critical Facilities (CF) Catastrophic for thirty days or more Injured or illness resulting into permanent disability Critical Complete shutdown of CF for at least two weeks More than 25% of property severely damaged Injured or illness do not result into permanent disability Limited Complete shutdown of Critical Infrastructure (CI) for at least one week More than 10% of the property severely damaged Injured or illness treated with the first aid Negligible Minor quality of life lost,Shut down of critical facility for two hours or less,Less than 10% of the property severely damaged

3.14 Boiler Burst Incident

A boiler of a dyeing unit at Sellandipalayam near here burst on Tuesday, ostensibly due to overloading, killing four persons and injuring 20 others on Tuesday.

BPCL –Boiler Burst Incident

 Labourers at the Kavi Colours dyeing unit at Sellandipapalayam were working frenetically to get the maximum output before TANGEDCO officials were to shut off power supply to the unit on Wednesday for non-compliance with zero discharge norms as ordained by court  Suddenly, the three-tonne boiler burst, blowing the work shed to smithereens. The mangled torso of a worker was flung on the roof. The body was discovered when blood started dripping some time after the blast. Another person was thrown out of the shed and died on the spot.  Authorities claim there were 19 workers at the unit at the time of the blast. Independent verification revealed there were around 40 workers, including women. The injured, most of them suffering severe burn injuries, were rushed to the government hospital and private hospitals.  Inquiries are on to find out the reason for the blast. An official said that the safety valve failed release in time, leading to pressure building up inside the boiler.

4.4 Block /Village/ Ward Level Disaster Management Committee

This Committee is perhaps the most important to be formed and requires maximum involvement of the District Collector in ensuring that there is no bias in its constitution. Every disaster requires maximum involvement and wholehearted cooperation of the village/ward level citizens and there needs to be good representation. The Panchayat, VAO, local institutions, NGOs, youth clubs and the like should be encouraged by the administration to be involved in the event of an emergency. They are the first responders to garner disaster response and an effort will be taken to make the communities strong and vibrant in proactively tackling the disasters. This will include to play a key role in organizing training (first aid, search and rescue, extrication from damaged buildings, road clearance, firefighting), raising awareness (about hazards, risks, disaster response), community drills (annual drills for disaster response in the community) and equipping the community with minimum resources (first aid kit, extrication equipment, lifejackets, lifebuoys, rope)

The Village Administrative Officers and the group officers who are assigned duty are responsible for the evacuation. As soon as a flood or other man-made hazard warning is received, the Village Administrative Officer should arrange to move the residents to the shelter home. The Zonal Officers should visit the villages and shelter homes and ensure that the affected residents are safely evacuated. The zonal officers should quickly go around and ensure that the relief operations are carried out on war footing.

The Extension Officer in Village Panchayat placed in charge of the shelter home shall be the officer in-charge of the relief centre. Immediately after evacuation or before evacuation, if possible, the relief officer should arrange to get the essential commodities through Tamil Nadu Civil Supply Corporation 129

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

Limited / Co-operative Society and prepare the food so as to serve to the victims. Each evacuee victim should be given food two times a day and the following scale of rations shall be adopted and the required quantity for food for two or three days at least should be served. Continuance of relief camps should be ordered by Collector.

4.5 District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC)

The District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC) is the hub of activity in a disaster situation in the District. The DEOC is connected with State EOC in the upstream and Disaster Management Committee in the downstream. It is a nodal point for overall coordination of planning and response. Its main duty is to ensure that the EOC facility has required communication (connecting all stakeholders vertically and horizontally), Decision support system, alert, and warning system in working conditions. The District Collector forms a team that functions through the DEOC and actively coordinate, mobilise, direct and maximise use of resources. The Revenue, Police, Rural Development, Municipal Administration, Health, Highways, Electricity, and other line departments are well represented. The communication system also include the Police VHF/Wireless sets in order to converge the information.

4.5.1 Functions of DEOC

The DEOC will ensure that all concerned departments implement their respective preparedness/contingency plans encompassing the following:

a) Micro-Hazard zonation for each hazard. b) Display of warning boards for general public in sensitive area. c) Inventory of human and material resources available with Government, Private, and Civil Society. d) Training, capacity building of the District Search and Rescue Task Forces. e) Training, capacity building of the State First Aid Task Forces. f) Training and capacity building of Civil Police, Fire Brigades, NCC, CBOs g) Medical Preparedness-nominate/designate hospitals, doctors, and paramedics to cover emergency health management. h) District, Block, and Village level mock drills and rehearsals.

132

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

have been trained in disaster management and rescue operations in consultation with National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).

The SDRF is trained on the lines of the NDRF to deal with any untoward situation. In the past the SDRF has also been effectively involved in conducting evacuation, rescue activities in disaster situation in the state. They are trained in disaster response techniques such as detection and location; Extrication and access; Fire Fighting; Medical and First Aid.

4.7 Public Private Partnerships

To mitigate disasters and create better prepared society for disasters and other hazards, strong public-private coordination is critical. In order to achieve community resilience and preparedness, public and private owners of critical infrastructures and key resources like manpower, technical expertise and equipment need to work together, before, during and after a disaster. The key issue is to recognize and embrace the public-private interfaces that can improve the ability of a community to manage the response and recovery phases of disaster management.

Home Guards, NSS, NCC, NGO’s and other associations will be involved closely into disaster rescue operations, community development and organisation of mock drills etc.

4.7.1 Home Guards

The Tamil Nadu Home Guards organization came into being in 1963 as per Tamil Nadu Home Guards Rules, 1963, as a voluntary citizens’ force to assist the Police in the maintenance of L a w and Order and for meeting emergencies like floods, fires, cyclones, etc. The Home Guards organization renders valuable assistance in regulation of traffic, crowd control, maintenance of internal security, promotion of communal harmony, spread of awareness on health, hygiene, drug abuse, AIDS, road safety, etc. 4.7.2 National Service Scheme (NSS)

NSS is the Social Service Unit at the School / College level and has a vibrant and easily approachable youth force and can reach a spot in an organized manner to take up challenges to provide preliminary help, aid and

133

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

awareness to the victims. As this group is educated, highly motivated and disciplined, if given training, they can deliver good results during a disaster. They are trained in disaster response techniques such as detection and location, fire fighting; medical and first aid.

4.7.3 National Cadet Corps ( NCC )

There are 5 NCC Group Headquarters and 51 NCC units under the control of State Directorate. The NCC Group Headquarters are located in Chennai (2), Coimbatore, Madurai and Tiruchirapalli. They were trained in formulation of SOPs/ Plans within the State, establishment of control room, check list of warning systems and communication systems, capacity building of units and cadets and assist during the emergencies. 4.7.4 Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS)

It is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports with a nation-wide presence. With presence in nearly 500 districts it is a large grass-root level youth organization. NYKS volunteers have traditionally been in the forefront of assisting the civil administration in times of disasters. The organization has been active in relief management and distribution. Their involvement will need to be harnessed and they should be a part of Mock drills. 4.7.5 Indian Red Cross Society

The Red Cross Society functions at the State and district levels. This is a movement for providing relief to the people when they are in dire need. As an organization that provides relief internationally to people in distress, it has credibility at the field level. 4.7.6 NGO

NGO’s play a key role in disaster situations and plugging the gaps during emergencies as they often has good relationship with the local community. NGO’s play a very important role in mobilizing communities and in initiating Disaster Risk Reduction activities. The strong linkages with grassroots communities can be effectively harnessed for creating greater public awareness on disaster risk and vulnerability, initiating appropriate strategies for strengthening the capacity of stakeholder groups to improve

134

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

disaster preparedness, mitigation and improving the emergency response capacities of the stakeholders. In addressing the emerging concerns of climate change adaptation and mitigation, NGOs can play a very significant role in working with local communities and introducing innovative approaches based on the good practices followed in other countries.

NGO’s can bring in financial resources from bi-lateral and multilateral donors for implementing pragmatic and innovative approaches to deal with disaster risk and vulnerability, and also by effectively integrating and converging the various government programmes, schemes and projects to create the required synergy in transforming the lives of at-risk communities. 4.7.7 Industrial Associations

Industries play a pivotal role in protecting industrial areas as well as in supporting Emergency Disaster Response and Recovery in the event of any disaster. They have trained man power, technical equipment and infrastructure within Industries that can be used effectively if networked effectively. Industrial associations are active throughout the state. The corporate social responsibility funds available with public and private sector can be dovetailed for mitigation efforts.

CHAPTER-V

PREVENTIVE AND MITIGATION MEASURES 5.1 Introduction

Prevention consists of actions that reduce risk from natural or manmade disaster incidents. The district has envisaged both protection and mitigation measures to reduce the impact of disasters in the district. A protection measure reduces or eliminates a threat to people, property and the environment. The DDMP primarily focused on adversarial incidents and the protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources, which are vital to public health & safety and economic vitality. Mitigation measures, with its focus on the impact of a hazard, encompasses the structural and non-structural approaches taken to eliminate or limit a hazard‘s exposure; impact on people, property and the environment. The following sections will elaborate all types of measures planned and implemented by the districts as a part of prevention measures.

5.2 Flood Management

On account of frequent occurrence of floods since time immemorial, people have learnt to live with them. They have generally set up settlements away from frequently flooded areas, which have been used for less important activities such as agriculture, grazing of cattle etc. The crops selected for cultivation in the flood prone areas also sustain submergence of river water during monsoon. However, in the recent past with the increase in population, these areas have been occupied for permanent settlements / activities and as a result, floods cause huge damage to lives, cattle, property, and infrastructure. The crops grown in the areas, nowadays, were inundated during floods and results in poor yields. Hence, it is necessary to develop prevention and mitigation measures using locally available resources to minimize the damage during floods. The functional measures of flood management in the district can be categorised into structural and non-structural measures. Structural measures are physical in nature and aim to prevent floodwaters from reaching potential damage centres, whereas non-structural measures strive to keep the people away from floodwaters.

136

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

5.2.1 Structural Measures

Long-term steps so far taken for the prevention of floods in Karur District are follows:

Construction of Embankments/Banks, Flood Walls, Flood Levees

Embankments are the most popular method of flood protection and have been constructed extensively in the past. The embankment system in the river restricts the river to its existing course and prevents it from overflowing the banks. Embankments are constructed generally with earth easily available from nearby areas. In developed areas where adequate space is not available or land is very expensive, concrete or masonry floodwalls are constructed. Embankments are designed and constructed to afford a degree of protection against floods of a certain frequency and intensity or against the maximum recorded flood depending upon the location protected and their economic justification.

Construction of Check Dams / Barrages and other Water Storages

Lakes, tanks, dams and reservoirs store significant proportions of floodwater and the stored water can be released subsequently when the flood has receded. The stored water can also be used subsequently for irrigation and meeting industrial and drinking water needs. In the case of large multipurpose reservoirs (constructed at Mayanur), a proper reservoir regulation schedule has worked out for optimum benefit from the project as a whole.

Amaravathy river Chettipalayam Dam Appipalayam Manmangalam 7. Amaravathy river Andankovil Check Dam Andankovil East Manmangalam

Channel Improvement and Desilting/Dredging of Rivers

A channel can be made to carry flood discharge at levels lower than its prevailing high flood level by improving its discharge carrying capacity. Surface water drainage obstructs due to inadequate natural or manmade drainage channels results in flooding in many areas. Channel improvement aims at increasing the area of flow or the velocity of flow (or both) to increase its carrying capacity. Channel improvement has not been resorted to widely in the district mainly because of the high costs involved and local constraints.

Diversion of Flood Water

Diverting all or a part of the discharge into a natural or artificially constructed channel, lying within or in some cases outside the flood plains is a useful means of lowering water levels in the river. The diverted water may be taken away from the river without returning it further downstream or it may be returned to the river some distance downstream or to a lake / tank.

Anti-erosion works

Alluvial rivers are usually meandering in nature and, therefore, raise problems of erosion and silting at various locations. Generally, there is a tendency of the meander to shift progressively downstream. The process of bank erosion is, therefore, consistently active and measures for protection of banks are a recurring necessity. Anti-erosion works are normally taken up for protection of towns / villages, industrial areas, railway lines and roads where re-location is not possible on socio-techno-economic grounds. 138

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

5.2.2 Non-Structural Measures

Non-structural measures strive to keep people away from floodwaters. It contemplates the use of flood plains judiciously, simultaneously permitting vacating of the same for use by the river whenever the situation demands. This technique allows the use of flood plains by reducing the disaster dimension, while retaining its beneficial effects.

Flood Mapping

Mapping of the flood prone areas is a primary step involved in reducing the risk of the region. Historical records give the indication of the flood inundation areas and the period of occurrence and the extent of the coverage. Based on the historical levels of flood inundation, flood hazard mapping for the district was done using Digital Elevation Models (DEM). Warning can be issued looking into the earlier marked heights of the water levels in case of potential threat. Flood hazard mapping will give the proper indication of water flow during floods.

5.3 Drought Mitigation

Drought mitigation measures involve pre-disaster activities designed to increase the level of readiness and improvement of operational and institutional capabilities for responding to the drought. It includes water supply augmentation and conservation (e.g. rainwater harvesting techniques), expansion of irrigation facilities, insurance schemes for farmers, crop contingency plans and public awareness and education.

5.3.1 Mitigation measures

Considering the increase in the frequency of droughts in different parts of the country, it is necessary to shift from drought relief to drought mitigation measures. These measures are important for adapting to climate change, restoring ecological balance and bringing development benefits to the people. In drought prone areas, rainwater is the main source of surface and ground water recharge. Because of more intense use of ground water in most parts of the district during the last few decades, recharge of groundwater did not take place in a proper manner. Hence, a long-term water management plan is envisaged to the district with following aspects:

139

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

i. Less exploitation of groundwater for irrigation through efficient irrigation methods such as drip / sprinkler practices wherever possible ii. promote cultivation of crops under crop diversification through sprinklers/drip irrigation systems iii. Construction of watershed structures at the right place where water recharge can be enhanced iv. Construct natural storage structures such as ponds to make available of drinking water for animals v. Encourage farmers to adopt Centrally Sponsored Micro Irrigation Scheme under which out of the total cost of the Micro Irrigation System, 40% will be borne by the Central Government, 10% by the State Government and the remaining 50% will be borne by the beneficiary, either through his/her own resources or soft loan from financial institutions vi. advise on the cropping systems based on rainfall pattern and soil conditions and encourage to choose drought resistant short duration varieties vii. Create facilities for storage and distribution of food grains entail multiple benefits to the society viii. promote Water User Groups for water conservation measures through consultative approach ix. initiate public driven programmes such as kudimaramathu works for removal of weeds / jungle, clearing out the deposits and repairs to sluices and cross masonry structures in channel x. promote agricultural insurance programmes and ensure that farmers are informed about the availability of insurance products and educate them about the need for managing their yield and income risks through insurance coverage xi. monitoring of rainfall and other associated weather parameters for forecasting and comprehensive drought management xii. delineation of blocks on the basis of long term rainfall pattern and groundwater levels

140

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

5.3.2 Rehabilitation of Irrigation System

Due to successive failure of monsoon in last few years, the district is severely hit by drought. Considering the intensity and frequency of drought, rehabilitation works (kudimaramathu) have initiated in all taluks of the district. It includes removal of jungle especially thorny bushes (Seema Karuvalai), clearing out the deposits and repairs to sluices and cross masonry structures in channel through Water Users Association. The following table represents list of Kudimaramathu Works that commenced in Karur District.

Desilting Tanks

5.3.3 Drought Early Warning

Rainfall is the best indicator of drought over an area. Based on these data, drought intensities and drought prone areas have been identified on all taluks across the district. It is difficult to predict drought well in advance to help the affected regions for implementation of appropriate drought mitigation measures. As the occurrence of drought depends principally on the amount of rainfall, the aim should be to forecast the deficient monsoon season rainfall and its distribution. The India meteorological Department (IMD) is the principal organisation, which measures the rainfall pattern and predicts the imminence of drought on a long range forecasting. Based on data obtained from rain gauge stations and IMD forecasting, necessary action will be initiated at all levels to combat the vigour of drought in the district.

Groundwater Management Strategy

The depth to water level in the district varied between 1.97 – 7.80 m bgl during pre-monsoon period and varied between 1.35 – 6.83 m bgl during post monsoon depth to water level. The seasonal fluctuation shows a rise in water level, which ranges from 0.46 to 1.98 m. During 2014-15, depth to water level in the range of 10 to 20 m bgl has been observed in 18% of sample wells of the district. The long-term water level fluctuation analysis indicates that the level of groundwater is decreasing at an alarming rate.

Source: Central Ground Water Board, Technical Report based on 2004 data

The development of ground water for irrigation in the district is mainly through dug wells tapping. Bore wells have also become popular as the source for irrigation in the district in recent years. The development of ground water in the district, in general, is moderate when compared to many other districts in the state. As many as 2 out of 8 blocks in the district have been categorized as either ‘overexploited’ or ‘dark’. Based on the factors mentioned, it is inferred that a major part of the district could be considered vulnerable to various environmental impacts of water level depletion such as declining ground water levels, drying up of shallow wells, decrease in yield of bore wells.

On the basis of experimental studies, it has been found that desilting of existing tanks followed by percolation pond with recharge wells, recharge shafts are economical for groundwater development in the district. Over exploited and Critical blocks in the districts warranting immediate attention. Artificial recharge of groundwater through cost-effective rainwater harvesting systems may be popularized in the district by providing incentives to individuals/communities embarking upon such initiatives. A concerted effort involving various Government agencies and NGOs can create the necessary awareness among the rural masses. 143

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

5.4 Measures for Man-Made Hazards

In the light of the high risks over industrial locations, the district administration has been interacting with major / chemical industries of the district and requested them to conduct mock drills to handle the disaster like situations and prepare onsite and offsite disaster response plans. It has also been prescribed that these industries will carry out awareness campaign for the population in the vicinity regarding the dos/don’ts in case of any accident involving hazardous material.

5.5 Capacity Building for Mitigation

Recognizing that awareness about vulnerabilities is an essential for inducing a mindset of disaster prevention and mitigation, the district administration has initiated awareness generation campaign as part of its overall disaster risk management strategy.

5.6 Environment Pollution:

The Noyyal river rises from the Vellingiri hills in the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu and enters Coimbatore through the Chithirai Chavadi dam before finally draining into the Kaveri River at Noyyal, in Karur district.

 The froth from the river contaminates underground water causing allergies and ailments.  The Noyyal river rises from the Vellingiri hills in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu.  The river is surrounded by fabric dyeing units that discharge its effluents into the

144

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

Zone 1

Is the least polluted as it is upstream of most of the urban areas, although urban expansion during the last decade (after the MSE study) has introduced some biological contamination here too.

Zone 2 Is affected mostly by Coimbatore’s domestic sewage combined with a little industrial pollution. Zone 3 Is affected mainly by industrial pollution. Zone 4 Is not affected as much because of dilution of inflows from the Lower Bhavani Project and the trapping of effluents at Orathupalayam dam.

145

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

Pollution Load on the River System

At present about 400 textile dying units are connected with common effluent plant treatment system (CETPs), and 50 dyeing units have provided individual treatment system (IETPs) with ZLD concept. There are several issues connected with the operation and maintenance of ZLD plants such as high capital and operational cost, requirement of skilled man power for the operation and problems associated with the disposal of a huge quantity of hazardous waste. For the purpose of the study it is assumed that about 10% of the pollution load generated from the dyeing units is left untreated and reaches the ground water either directly or indirectly.

Prediction Scenario After validation of the Model Groundwater quality (TDS) was predicted for the next 10 years for the following scenarios:

1. If the present scenario continued. In this it was assumed 10% of effluent generated would be discharged into the River system.

2. If the pollution was doubled with 20% of effluent discharged into the River system. This might be under the condition that production was doubled due to industrial growth or more accidental discharge was made into the River system.

3. If the groundwater recharge was increased by 1.5 times and ZLD by the industries. Presently during flow in the River the water is not stored in the dam. If water was stored in the Dam and more water storage structures were created there, the recharge would increase by 1.5 times and the water quality was predicted

5.7 Industrial Disaster TNPL/BPCL

Occupational Health & Safety

Occupational Health & Safety is a top priority at TNPL & BPCL. With our efficient systems, processes and state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that we provide our employees with a safe and healthy workplace. The culture of safety is promoted by top management and percolates down the organization.

The occupational health & safety policy acts as a guidance document towards establishing and implementing programs that will reduce workplace hazards, protect lives and promote employee health. A dedicated safety committee with representatives from both Management and Workmen has also been constituted with an objective to manage prospective hazards. In case of an incident or accident, the investigation is conducted and corrective action is implemented within stipulated amount of time.As a proactive organization, we have identified various hazards associated with our processes and has implemented measures to mitigate the same. Employees including contractual are trained on various aspects such as handling of hazardous chemicals, Material handling, Usage of PPEs, Electrical safety, road safety, First aid, fire-fighting etc.

In order to inculcate a safety behavior, various initiatives are taken by the management such as display of safety signages across the shop floor, providing PPEs (Personal protective Equipment) etc. Further to deal with emergencies we have an on-site and off-site emergency plan; Periodic mock drills for hazardous chemical leakages and fire incident are conducted to ensure the effectiveness of emergency preparedness. In addition we have a fully equipped occupational health centers at both our units.

CHAPTER-VI

PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

6.1 Preparedness Planning

Planning is the one of the key elements in the Preparedness. Disaster management is achieved partially through activities and measures taken in advance to ensure effective response to the impact of hazards, including the issuance of timely and effective early warnings and the temporary evacuation of people and property from threatened locations. As per NDMA‘s guidelines which prescribe Incident Response Team (IRT) at District, Revenue Division, Taluk and Block level should be constituted under the written directives of District Collector. These teams will include experienced officers / employees at all levels and respond to all natural and man-made disasters. The lowest administrative unit (Taluk / Block) will be the first responder as the case may be.

South West Monsoon Preeparedness Meeting -2021

6.2 District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC)

District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC) becomes a nodal point for overall coordination of planning and response. Its main duty is to ensure that the EOC facility has required communication (connecting all stakeholders 148

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 vertically and horizontally), Decision support system, alert, and warning system in working conditions. The Revenue, Police, Rural Development, Municipal Administration, Health, Highways, Electricity, and other line departments shall be well connected with DEOC. Emergency numbers existing for Police, Fire and Medical support etc. are linked to the EOC for response, command, and control under an SOP. For e.g., if there is any fire incident, the information should not only reach the fire station but also the EOC and the nearest hospital to gear up the emergency medical service. DEOC is also receiving information / support from State and Central Government in a major disaster (e.g. helipads, evacuation, food distribution, medical support). The DEOC will ensure that all concerned departments implement their respective preparedness / contingency plans.

6.3 Community and Local Level Preparedness

The disaster preparedness aims to ensure that appropriate systems are in place to provide prompt and effective assistance to disaster victims. In the event of disaster, communities are the first responders and hence there is no better alternative to community and local level capacities for disaster response. Hence, Panchayat will be encouraged to establish local early warning systems in higher vulnerable areas and for holding community level disaster response drills. Development of response capacity at Panchayat level would help in avoiding desperate situation.

6.4 Role and Responsibilities of Line Departments

7.3 Search and Rescue

The Revenue Department is the Nodal Department for controlling, monitoring and directing measures for rescue operations. All other concerned line Departments should extend full cooperation in all matters pertaining to the response management of the disaster whenever it occurs. A separate group of people can be assigned the task for carrying out search, rescue and relief operation during any disaster. Persons with background in army, civil defence, home guards, or police can be helpful in doing such activities. Nurses and medical practitioners can guide and help in emergency relief and first aid to the victims.

Since a large population of the village may be affected during disasters, a sketch of the village territory showing safer buildings and sites should be prepared during plan formulation to indicate the places and the routes to the community to be used during disaster periods. The plan map should not only show the evacuation routes but also indicates the routes that may be used by outsiders for providing relief to the victims. The access route is connected to main road. The evacuation routes are normally the alternate footpaths leading to an area away from the vulnerable structures and susceptible locations.

Due to large number of deaths and injuries during disasters, the potential of getting affected by any contagious disease are very high. To control this, a team should be dedicated to immunize people and livestock against possible diseases and those affected by such diseases should be treated under control and given a separate facility.

169

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

7.4 Relief

In the aftermath of disasters the affected people must be looked after for their safety, security and the well-being and provided food, water, shelter, clothing, medical care etc. so as to ensure that the affected people live with dignity. The local government authorities shall be responsible for providing prompt and adequate relief assistance to the victims of disasters. The following measures shall be taken by the district / local administration aftermath of disaster:

. Speedy supplies of relief materials shall be ensured in relief operations. A supply chain management system shall be developed. Standard Protocols shall be put in place for ensuring the procurement, packaging, transportation, storage, and distribution of relief items. A mechanism shall be developed for receiving donations in cash or kind and their distribution. . DDMA shall take all appropriate measures for transparency in the relief operations. Affected people shall be apprised of the nature and quantum of relief admissible to them. Proper formats will be developed to acknowledge the receipt of relief materials and their further distribution. . NGOs and other social organizations should be involved for supplementing the efforts of the Government. . Free distributions of food shall be made to those who need the food most. Foods must be of good quality, safe to consume, and appropriate and acceptable to recipients. . Community Kitchen for mass feeding shall be organised only for an initial short period following a major disaster particularly where affected people do not have the means to cook . While providing food assistance, local food practices shall be kept in mind and commodities being provided must be carefully chosen, in consultation with the affected population. . The local authorities shall identify alternative sources of water and make necessary arrangements for supply to the affected population.

170

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

. During post disaster phase many factors increase the risk of diseases and epidemics. These include poverty, insecurity, overcrowding, inadequate quantity, and quality of water, poor environmental and sanitary conditions, inadequate shelter, and food supply. A mechanism for quick identification of factors affecting the health of the affected people shall be established for surveillance and reporting. . Water borne diseases may cause sickness and deaths and therefore adequate measures shall be taken to prevent such outbreaks. It shall be ensured that water made available for personal and domestic hygiene should not cause any risk to health. . The voluntary deployment of the nearest medical resources to the disaster site, irrespective of the administrative boundaries, will be warranted. . Adequate supply of medicines, disinfectants etc. shall be made and vaccination of the children and pregnant women shall be undertaken. . Psychosocial support and mental health services should be made available immediately in the aftermath of disaster so as to reduce the stress and trauma of the affected community and facilitate speedy recovery. . The people affected by the disaster shall be provided with sufficient clothing, blankets etc. to ensure their dignity, safety, and well-being. . In a major disaster a large number of people are rendered homeless. In such situations shelter becomes a critical factor for survival of the affected people in the initial stages of a disaster. Hence, adequate numbers of buildings or open space shall be identified where relief camps can be set up during emergency. . Disaster affected people who have lost their dwelling units or where such units have been rendered damaged/useless shall be provided sufficient covered space for shelter. . Disaster affected households shall be provided access to appropriate means artificial lighting to ensure personal security and shall be provided with necessary tools, equipment and materials for repair, reconstruction and maintenance for safe use of their shelter.

171

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

7.5 Damage Assessment Once disaster has occurred, determining the type and extent of damage is the only way to ascertain if State / Central assistance is warranted. With this information, collected in a timely manner, DDMA can determine the appropriate course of action. Damage assessment is the systematic process of determining and appraising the nature and extent of loss, suffering and/or harm to a community resulting from natural or human-made disasters. It produces a descriptive measure of the severity and magnitude of the disaster. Response requirements and capabilities, effectiveness of initial response operations, and requirements for supplemental assistance can be determined by assessing damage immediately following a disaster. The following assessments in terms of the extent and monetary value of damages can be carried out with the help of local government authorities by field surveys. a) Effects on Basic Services: electricity, water supply, sanitation etc. b) Infrastructure: buildings, houses, road systems etc. c) Livelihood: crops, cattle’s, sources of food/products etc. d) Landscape: soil stability, extent of coastline and land erosion e) Ecological Communities: vegetation, terrestrial and aquatic life A preliminary and immediate assessment of the damages of assets / crops and the relief measures required should be reported to the District Collector by the concerned Departments so that the Government can be approached for necessary funds. For example, as regards crop damages because of frequent droughts / floods in the district, the assessment is need to done by the Department of Agriculture and Horticulture for relief assistance.

7.6 Recovery Phase

Recovery is restoration of the community structure and facilities, and support provided to affected people. Recovery encompasses both short-term and long-term efforts for the rebuilding and revitalization of affected communities. Recovery planning must provide for a near-seamless transition from response activities to short-term recovery operations - including restoration of interrupted utility services, re-establishment of transportation routes and the provision of food and shelter to displaced persons. It may 172

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021 include providing short-term emergency accommodation, counselling emotionally-affected people, establishing and managing emergency financial relief schemes, repairing or replacing damaged public utilities, services, and assets, surveying and assessing damage to public and private property. The DDMA is responsible for working with stakeholders and local jurisdictions to coordinate the immediate and long-term recovery of the community following a disaster. This includes the provision of Local, State, Central and Private sector disaster assistance for those with unmet needs. The recovery phase encompasses both rehabilitation and reconstruction.

7.6.1 Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation refers to the actions taken in the aftermath of a disaster to enable basic services to resume functioning, assist local community to repair physical damage / facilities, revive economic activities and provide support for the psychological and social well being of the survivors. It focuses on enabling the affected population to resume more-or-less normal (pre- disaster) patterns of life. It may be considered as transitional phase between immediate relief and long-term development. The mid-term and long term recovery plan will include

7.6.2 Redevelopment

Reconstruction refers to the full restoration of all services / infrastructure, replacement of damaged physical structures, the revitalization of economy and the restoration of social and cultural life. Reconstruction must be fully integrated into long-term development plans, taking into account of future disaster risks and possibilities to reduce such risks by incorporating appropriate measures. The redevelopment plan of the locality should include the lessons learnt from the disasters, thereby discouraging the bad practices and encouraging the good practices for redevelopment in the affected area.

173

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

CHAPTER-VIII

COORDINATION MECHANISM FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP

8.1 Coordination Mechanism at District Level

The Revenue Administration, Disaster Management and Mitigation Department (RADM&MD) is the nodal Department for strengthening disaster management capacity in the District by providing access to essential facilities, creating support systems, and building human capacities. To cope effectively with crisis and emergency situations, the Department coordinates with the other Departments, policy makers, and technical institutions which develop well defined strategies to manage crisis and also to mitigate the risks caused by the same.

There are many actions undertaken by DDMA during pre-disaster (to mitigate potential damage) and post-disaster (to recover from actual damage) and ideally these activities would reduce the potential effects of a disaster significantly. For achieving this objective, the plan should have a pre- established and practiced mechanism for Inter, intra and extra agency coordination.

8.2 Coordination Mechanism for Floods / Cyclone

In worst case scenario assumption, it is possible that all the rivers in the district are flooded and heavy rains continue. This may result in approximately 80 per cent of the area flooded in the district causing huge damage to property, agriculture and livestock and human lives. Key actions and responsibilities during flood emergency response are following:

174

CHAPTER-IX

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPS) AND CHECK LIST 9.1 Standard Operating procedures (SOPs)

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are a common method of implementing instructions. SOPs provide response protocols for carrying out specific responsibilities. They describe who, what, when and how SOPs are appropriate for complex tasks requiring step-by-step instructions for performing a task. It is necessary to prepare for all relevant hazards to the district. SOPs specify provisions and protocols for warning the public and disseminating emergency public information.

9.2 SOP for Earthquake

Earthquake strikes suddenly, violently and without warning. Identifying potential hazards ahead of time and advance planning can reduce the dangers of serious injury or loss of life from an earthquake. Earthquakes can neither be predicted nor prevented. When an earthquake strikes, the district team must be ready to respond.

9.2.1 Special Precautions

. Earthquake impact can cause damage to critical infrastructures including telecom, power transmission, water supply, gas or oil pipelines resulting in pipe rupture or blast from ignition of accumulated associated well gas and vaporization of crude oil pool. . Each agency must immediately shut down all operations and supply in pipeline / transmission lines as per their on-site emergency response plan. . Depending upon the intensity (for e.g. if < 6 Magnitude) evacuation may be required for both within the facility as well as for neighbouring community to assemble in designated open ground / muster point. . Fire fighting, search and rescue teams to be kept in standby for any emergency rescue operations. . Only after proper safety inspection, critical infrastructure facilities may be asked to resume their operation. 183

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

9.2.2 During an Earthquake (If indoors)

. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on stay inside . The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the building because objects can fall on you.

9.2.3 During an Earthquake (If Outdoor)

. Move into the open, away from buildings, street lights, and utility wires. . Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. 9.2.4 During an Earthquake (If in a Moving Vehicle)

. Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle . Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees, overpasses, or utility wires . Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake. 9.2.5 Pets after the Earthquake

. The behaviour of pets may change dramatically after an earthquake. Normally quiet and friendly cats and dogs may become aggressive or defensive. Watch animals closely and place them in a fences yard. . Pets may not be allowed into shelters for health and space reasons. 9.2.6 Be prepared for Aftershocks

. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may bring weakened structure down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. . Help injured or trapped persons. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. . Remember to help your neighbours who may require special assistance - infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities. . Use the telephone only for emergency calls. . Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches or gasoline or other flammable liquids immediately. Leave the area if you smell gas or 184

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

fumes of other chemicals. . Check for gas leaks if you smell gas or hear blowing or hissing noise, open a window and quickly leave the building. . Inspect the entire length of chimneys carefully for damage. Unnoticed damage could lead to a fire. 9.3 Incident Action Plan (IAP) for Earthquake

It is important that activities indicated in the IAP are connected with the functional responsibility matrix given under the plan activation section in basic plan:

Department/ S.No. Task / Function / Activity Officer Responsible Revenue Department 1 Raise alarm RDO/ Tahsildar Emergency Alarm/Notification/ Notify Authorities & 2 Zonal Officer external agencies Issue instructions to shut down all operations 3 District Collector immediately Assess situation, make evacuation plan and 4 RDO/Tahsildar evacuation Revenue Department / Activate special resources for SAR including JCBs, Rural Development/ 5 Earth-movers, Steel cutters PWD/ Municipal Administration Establish Unified Command (for liaison with 6 District Collector responding agencies) Coordinate and mobilize specialized medical teams 7 DD Health withmobile operation theatres

185

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

9.4 SOP for Flood (with warning situation)

Flood is a general temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of land area due to: a) Excess rainfall b) Unusual and rapid accumulation or run off surface water from any source. c) Collapse of bank / dam or subsidence of land along the shore of lakes, rivers, tanks etc. d) Overflow of inland waters 9.4.1 Precautions . Flooding can disrupt continuity of Governance and the life of the community. It can lead to disruption in electrical supply and communication and cause damage to roads, bridges and other infrastructure. . Depending upon the level and quantum of water inundation evacuation required for community to move to safe zones. . Search and rescue teams to be kept in standby for any emergency rescue operations . Ensure that drainage channels / tanks are de-silted and bunds are periodically maintained. . Ensure that specialist resources such as divers / swimmers, boats, life jackets etc. are readily available 9.4.1 Arrangements During and After Floods

. First pack warm clothes, essential medication, valuables, personal papers, etc. in waterproof bags to be taken with your emergency kit. . Place furniture, clothing, and valuables at elevated levels like on beds, tables and on ledges. Turnoff power and gas. . Whether your leave or stay, put sandbags in the toilet bowl and over all bathroom drain-holes to prevent sewage back-flow. . Lock your home and take recommended / known evacuation routes of your area. . Inform local authorities, the address of place to which you are evacuating.

186

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

9.5 Incident Action Plan (IAP) for Flood

It is important that activities indicated in the IAP are connected with the functional responsibility matrix given under the plan activation section in basic plan:

Department/ Officer Task / Function / Activity Responsible Raise alarm / Mass messaging / Community siren RDO/Tahsildar system Look out for regular updates from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) / Central Water DEOC Commission (CWC) for forecast and follow up action.

Conduct damage assessment District Collector

9.6 SOP for Heat Wave

A Heat Wave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, more than the normal maximum temperature that occurs during the summer season. Heat Waves typically occur between March and June, and in some rare cases even extend till July. The extreme temperatures and resultant atmospheric conditions adversely affect people living in dry regions as they cause physiological stress, sometimes resulting in death. The following are the characteristics of Heat Waves in the district:

. Heat Wave need not be considered till maximum temperature of a station reaches atleast 400C. 187

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

. When actual maximum temperature remains 450C or more, heat waves should be declared. If 5°C is more than normal maximum temperature then it is termed as moderate heat wave and if 7°C or more then it termed as severe heat wave . Higher daily peak temperatures and longer, more intense heat waves are becomingly increasingly frequent globally due to climate change. Karur district too is feeling the impact of climate change in terms of increased instances of heat waves which are more intense in nature with each passing year, and have a devastating impact on human health thereby increasing the number of heat wave casualties. . The health impacts of Heat Waves typically involve dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and/or heat stroke.

9.6.1 General Precautions

Heat Wave conditions can result in physiological strain, which could even result in death. To minimise the impact during the heat wave and to prevent serious ailment or death because of heat stroke, the following measures need to be adopted:

. Avoid going out in the sun, especially between 12.00 noon and 3.00 p.m. . Drink sufficient water and as often as possible, even if not thirsty . Wear lightweight, light-coloured, loose, and porous cotton clothes. Use protective goggles, umbrella/hat, shoes or chappals while going out in sun. . Avoid strenuous activities when the outside temperature is high. Avoid working outside between 12 noon and 3 p.m. If you work outside, use a hat or an umbrella and also use a damp cloth on your head, neck, face and limbs . Avoid alcohol, tea, coffee and carbonated soft drinks, which dehydrates the body. But use homemade drinks like lassi, lemon water, buttermilk, etc. which helps to re-hydrate the body. . Avoid high-protein food and do not eat stale food. . If you feel faint or ill, see a doctor immediately. . Keep animals in shade and give them plenty of water to drink. . Use fans, damp clothing and take bath in cold water frequently.

Provide correct and accurate information to government official. . Inform others on occurrence of event at public gathering places (like school, shopping centre, theatre etc.). . Don’t pay attention to the rumours and don’t spread rumours. 9.7.3 General Precautions during Normal Time

. Do not smoke, lit fire or spark in the identified hazardous area

. Sensitize the community living near the industrial units and they should be more vigilant about the nature of industrial units and associated risks.

. Keep the contact numbers of nearest hazardous industry, fire station, police station, control room, health services and district control room, for emergency use.

. Avoid housing near the industries producing or processing the hazardous chemicals, if possible. 190

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

9.9 SOP for Stampede A stampede is uncontrolled concerted running as an act of mass impulse among a crowd of people in which the group collectively begins running, often in an attempt to escape a perceived threat. Crushes often occur during religious pilgrimages and large entertainment events, as they tend to involve dense crowds, with people closely surrounded on all sides. Human stampedes and crushes also occur in episodes of panic (e.g. in response to a fire or explosion) as people try to get away. Deaths from human crushes and stampedes are found to be caused due to crowd crush or crowd collapse. In a crowd crush people are subjected to compressive forces by being pushed from all sides (or against a barrier such as a wall) with nowhere to move into. In a progressive crowd collapse one person falls, creating a space in the crowd into which others fall, creating an even larger hole. Those who have fallen are squashed by the weight of many people on top of them (vertical stacking). Compression in either case is often fatal. 9.9.1 Preventive Measures

It is believed that most major crowd disasters can be prevented by simple crowd management strategies. Human stampedes can be prevented by organization and traffic control, such as barriers. On the other hand, barriers in some cases may funnel the crowd towards an already-packed area. Hence barriers can be a solution in preventing or a key factor in causing a crush. One problem is lack of feedback from people being crushed to the crowd pressing behind – feedback can instead be provided by police, organizers, or other observers, particularly raised observers, such as on platforms, who can survey the crowd and use loudspeakers to communicate and direct a crowd.

There is risk of a crush when crowd density exceeds about four people per square meter. So be aware of your surroundings. Look ahead. Listen to the crowd noise. If you start finding yourself in a crowd surge, wait for the surge to come, go with it, and move sideways. Keep moving with it and sideways.

All public gathering / entertainment venues are to be equipped with doors that open outwards. The organizing secretary of large events, police and local authorities need to discuss and draw suitable planning measures for crowd management well before the event takes place.

Karur District Disaster Management Plan- 2021

The administration will widely disseminate and publicise information about these arrangements as mandated in the SDMP and DDMP. Since disaster response operations are multifaceted, timesensitive,extremely fast-moving, and mostly unpredictable, it requires rapid assessment, close coordination among several departments, quick decisionmaking, fast deployment of human resources and machinery as well as close monitoring. In order to prevent delays and to eliminate ambiguities with regard to chain of command, DDMP will clearly spell out the response organisation as per IRS. These plans will clearly identify the personnel to be deputed for various responsibilities in the IRT at various levels of administration along with proper responsibility and accountability framework. Provision for implementation of unified command in case of involvement of multiple agencies such as

Army, NDRF, CAPF, and International Urban Teams Search and Rescue will be spelt out in the DDMP. From time to time, the DM plan will be tested and rehearsed by carrying out mock exercises
