South Tripura District Disaster Management Plan 2021-22

Kakali Das (Datta) Sabhadhipati, Zilla Parishad MESSAGE

It is a pleasure to learn that the South Tripura-District Disaster Management Authority (South Tripura) has arranged the refreshed and modified South Tripura District Disaster Management Plan 2021-22. The refreshed South Tripura-DDMP is an improvement over the previous variant. This arrangement will improve the comprehension of partners on catastrophe chances and will further fortify our ability to recoup in the wake of cataclysmic events. The updated South Tripura District Disaster Management Plan, I am sure, will end up being a vital instrument in further reinforcing fiasco strong improvement in the nation as well as South Tripura District. The speed of transmission and virulence of COVID-19 has posed an entirely new challenge. The National Disaster Management Plan issued also deals extensively with Biological Disaster and Health Emergency. Such mitigation and risk reduction initiatives result in decreased requirements in response, efforts and in saving loss of lives and properties. The revised Plan has done justice to all phases of disaster Management and stakeholders must ensure they revolve around this Plan. I convey my best wishes to South Tripura-District Disaster Management Authority (South Tripura) for their effort and congratulate all associated in this noble task.

Dr. Kulwant Singh, IPS Superintendent of Police MESSAGE

The best way to cope with a Natural Disaster is to prepare by having a plan before it strikes. Some Disaster, such as earthquakes, give little or no warning before it strikes. Given how unpredictable nature can be, it’s a good idea to take measure to reduce our risk, protect our environment, our families, our homes. The publication of Disaster Management Plan for the year 2021-22 by DDMA, South Tripura District is a welcoming endeavour of the district administration in this direction to structure and upgrade policies, ensure better preparedness towards effective disaster management through synergy with various agencies and effective mobilization and deployment of resources. District Police is a major player in disaster management since it acts as the first responder role given its proximity to the incident site and relationship with people. I hope that the publication of DDMP will successfully serve its purpose.

First Chapter

Introduction:

The increase in the frequency of disasters and their associated damages in the region is part of a worldwide trend, which results from growing vulnerability and may reflect changing climate patterns. These trends make it all the more necessary for the regions to break the cycle of destruction and reconstruction and address the root causes of vulnerability, rather than merely treating its symptoms when disasters happen. The principal causes of vulnerability in the region include rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, the persistence of widespread urban and rural poverty, the degradation of the region's environment resulting from the mismanagement of natural resources, inefficient public policies, and lagging and misguided investments in infrastructure. Development and disaster-related policies have largely focused on emergency response, leaving a serious under-investment in natural hazard prevention and mitigation. The lack of preparedness and the lack of safety measure also increase the vulnerability and add to the human and property loss. India is also one such country whose great vulnerability to natural disasters is not unknown. With 65% of its land area vulnerable to earthquakes, 8% to cyclones, 12% to floods and 70% to droughts, more than 1 million houses are damaged annually in India and above them are the human and social losses that go unaccounted. It is thus imperative that we must move in the direction of a proactive stance to reduce the toll of disasters in the region. It requires a more comprehensive approach that encompasses both pre- disaster risk reduction and post-disaster recovery.

Aims & Objective of the Plan :

The District of South Tripura, situated on the southernmost tip of Tripura is vulnerable to various kinds of hazards like flood, earthquake, landslide, fire hazard, accidents, epidemic, & etc. Keeping in mind these possible disasters in the district that may cause major setbacks to lives, livelihoods and property (both movable and immovable), the District Administration, South Tripura felt the urgent need of preparing an emergency response plan. The devastation caused by various kinds of natural and man-mad hazards has posed a challenge before the South district administration to analyze each decision making process to gear up the rescue and restoration during such situations as well as building up the capacity to face further calamities in future. The District Administration has realized the necessity to compile a plan to facilitate faster recovery during an emergency of this kind. This plan is a document which can help the administration to remain better prepared for both natural and man-made disasters to safeguard lives, livelihoods and property and to effectively respond to any disaster situation.

Scope of the plan : The emergency planning process has evolved significantly and taken center stage in the last decade as a result of emergencies and disasters having a greater impact on government property and agriculture. Today, organizations have an abundance of emergency planning resources and training options available to them. Cooperation between government and public in the planning process has also improved. Consequently, there presently exists an excellent opportunity for organizations to increase their level of preparedness and mitigation. Most experts today advocate a comprehensive "all hazards" approach to emergency preparedness. A comprehensive emergency response plan that takes into account potential natural and manmade threats and involves key personnel in the planning process. It can assist an organization to systematically manage emergencies in an effective and efficient manner. The planning process is a key element that forces District Magistrates and staff to explore viable options that can be employed in the event of an emergency or disaster. These contingencies can ultimately help to save lives, reduce property loss, as well as lessen an organization's potential liability.

EVOLUTION OF THE PLAN IN BRIEF: The DDMP has been prepared on the basis of various guidelines issued from time to time by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), information received from the different line departments and in accordance with the model framework prescribed by the NDMA. The draft DDMP is discussed in brief in the meeting of the DDMA/DDMC and then sent to the State Govt. Revenue Deptt. (Nodal Deptt. for Disaster Management) for approval / suggestion, if any, to make the plan more effective. It is updated at least once every year based on an inbuilt continuous monitoring and evaluation process. Responsibilities of Stakeholder

Need of Plan:

Being prepared for critical incidents DM Plan involves four important components: planning, reviewing, training, and testing. These are the cornerstones of any emergency response plan and it should be noted that it is a circular rather than linear process. Effective emergency response planning begins with the following: • Defining an emergency in terms relevant to the organization doing the planning • Establishing an organization with specific tasks to function immediately before, during, and after an emergency • Establishing a method for utilizing resources and for obtaining additional resources during the emergency. • Providing a recognizable means of moving from normal operations into and out of the emergency mode of operation Regardless of the type of crisis, there are a series of common requirements that must be taken into account for an organization to be successful when a critical incident occurs. These include: • Deciding policy • Assessing threat • Identifying resources • Selecting crisis team personnel • Locating the crisis management center • Equipping the crisis center • Training crisis team personnel • Testing contingency plans and emergency procedures • Dealing with the media • Dealing with victims and their families • Dealing with other affected persons (such as employees) • Getting the organization's normal work done during the crisis • Returning to normal after the crisis (both operationally and in human terms)

How to Use the DDMA: The plan provides guidelines for each stage of disaster management cycle viz. Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery for all the stakeholders. It provides concise and easy to use Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and check lists for all the stakeholders of things to be done in pre-disaster, disaster and post- disaster phases. An easy to use pocket booklet containing contact numbers and SOPs accompanies this document.  Section 31 of DM Act 2005 makes it mandatory for every district to prepare a disaster management plan, for the protection of life and property from the effects of hazardous events within the district.  In significant emergencies or disasters, District Magistrate or the 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.

 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.  The DDMA may recommend for action under Sec 30 of DM Act.  Facilities that have been identified as vital to operation of the district government functions have been identified.  The DM or his designee will coordinate and control resources of the District.  Emergency public information will be disseminated by all available media outlets through the designated media and information officer.  Prior planning and training of personnel are prerequisites to effective emergency operations and must be considered as integral parts of disaster preparations.  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.  Departments, agencies and organizations assigned either primary or supporting responsibilities in this document must develop implementation documents in order to support this plan.  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.  District authority will use normal channel for requesting assistance and/or resources, i.e., through the District Emergency Operations Center (DEOC) to the State EOC. If state resources have been exhausted, the state will arrange to provide the needed resources through central assistance.  The District EOC will coordinate with the State EOC, 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.  Upon receipt of potential problems in these areas, DEOC / designated officials will appropriately issue alert and notify action to be taken by the residents.  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.

Based on this, the vulnerability assessment of people and their income sources, infrastructure, crops, livestock resources, drinking water supply, daily necessities, communication and transportation system, public distribution system, 21

medical facilities and other elements have been done so that such elements can be safely shifted to, or to be taken care of before any unexpected disaster or during the disasters. This is the most important part of the plan.

DISTRICT PROFILE

(SOUTH TRIPURA DISTRICT)

BACKGROUND

The new South Tripura District with its Head Quarter at Belonia was created on 06.01.2012 with the objective of ensuring better delivery of public services to a population of 4,53,079, a major chunk of whom live in rural areas. The new district has 3 Sub-Divisions, 8 RD Blocks, 1 Nagar Panchayat, 2 Municipalities, 99 GPs and 70 ADC Villages. The total geographical area of the District is 1514.32 Sq. Km. The District have international boundary with Bangladesh of 204.48 km. Out of a total 4,53,079 population, Male is 2,34,118, Female is 2,18,961,SC population is 74,020[16%] and ST population is 1,62,463[36%]. Although the district is situated in the southernmost tip of the State, it has the advantage of being connected with the State Capital through National Highway 44. The project for extension of railway line up to Sabroom Town via Belonia would further improve the transportation and communication link with the rest of the State. Efforts are being made to connect the unconnected habitations by all weather roads as early as possible. While Trishna Wildlife Sanctuary under Rajnagar Block and Pilak under Jolaibari have the potential to become major tourist attractions, Belonia and Sabroom Towns have the potential to become major export-import hub. The District Administration along with all the line departments will have to work together and focus on filling up the gaps in infrastructure as well as service delivery system so that the objective with which the new district was created could be fulfilled.

Mitigation Plan: This is a specific which focuses on various ways and means of reducing impacts of disasters on the communities through damage prevention Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. In order for mitigation to be effective we need to take action now—before the next disaster—to reduce human and financial consequences later (analyzing risk, reducing risk, and insuring against risk While these hazards cannot be prevented from occurring, mitigation planning focuses on reducing the impact of such events when they do occur. Mitigation strategies include actions taken in the form of projects that will substantially reduce or eliminate repetitive losses due to the occurrence of the same hazard. Structural Mitigation is the physical changes or act of protection from disasters or hazards. For example, structural mitigation would be when a family 59

reinforces their home to make it more wind proof, or earthquake proof. ... Non- structural mitigation in general would involve things such as having flood insurance.

Establishment of early warning systems (2015) ... To be effective and complete, an early warning system needs to comprise four interacting elements namely: (i) risk knowledge, (ii) monitoring and warning service, (iii) dissemination and communication and (iv) response capability.

Mitigation Methods:- i) Structural measures: Any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impact of hazards, which include engineering measures and construction of hazard-resistant and protective structures and infra structure.--- NDMA(2005) ii) Non structural measures: Non engineering measures to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards such as education, training and emergency planning, capacity development, general public awareness, early warning system, hazard which include engineering measures and construction of hazard- resistant and protective structures and infrastructure. ---NDMA (2005) Disaster Management Cycle:- In multi-hazard response plan, the disaster management cycle has a significant role to play. The four stage of disaster cycle have their own importance in terms of their implementation during, after and before the occurrence of any disaster.

Disaster Preparedness:

Pre-disaster activities that are undertaken within the context of disaster risk management and are based on sound risk analysis. This includes the development/enhancement of an overall preparedness strategy, policy, institutional structure, warning and forecasting capabilities, and plans that define measures geared up for helping at-risk communities safeguard their lives and assets by being alert to hazards and taking appropriate action in the face of an imminent threat or an actual disaster. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR):-

DDR attempts to look back at the root causes of risks and vulnerabilities in a society, state, town or even a single household. Factors can be broad or specific, depending on the scope of risk and vulnerability assessment. Natural hazard:- Natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environment damage. The Natural disasters were split into 3 specific groups:- 1. Hydro-meteorological disasters: Floods and wave surges, storm, droughts and related disasters (extreme temperatures and forest / scrub fires), and landslides & avalanches’ 2. Geophysical disasters: Earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanic eruptions; 3. Biological disasters: Epidemics and insect infestations 61

Manmade Disasters:-

Disasters due to human activities could be unintentional, but because of lack of safety measures and abiding by certain safety rules and regulations. Most of these (barring coordinated terrorist activities) are due to certain accidents. Terrorism, Bomb blast, wars, Riots, technology related, Accidents (Road, Ship, Air), Chemical and Nuclear Industrial accidents, etc. Importance of Multi-hazard Management Plan: It is apparent that this district is prone to natural disasters such as flood, cyclones, landslide etc. Also, it cannot ignore the man-made disasters. The district plan is designed as per the present need and the major strategies to respond to any unexpected situation have also been considered. In the multi-hazard district plan, all the disasters will be handled properly following the use of resource inventory, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), keeping coordination with the line agencies and proper community based awareness activities. SOP of line departments is designed to make them alert. It highlights their role and responsibilities during, after and at normal time of the disaster. The main features of multi-hazard Plan are: 1. It gives importance to all the disasters equally and helps to mitigate the situation beforehand. 2. All the departments are assigned with their proper role and responsibilities, which are clearly indicated in the SOPs. 3. The District Administration must be alert round the year as disasters may occur any time, anywhere in the district, irrespective of time and location. Pre Disaster activities: 1. Policy Development and National, State, District, Local Level Disaster Organization formation. 2. Vulnerability and capacity assessment. 3. Prevention and mitigation. 4. Preparedness, planning and training. Emergency Activities:-

1. Warning (before the actual event). 2. Evacuation, search and rescue. 3. Emergency assistance (relief) – food, water, shelter, medical aid etc. Post Disaster activities:- 1. Repair and restoration of life lines (power, telecommunications, water transportation). 2. Reconstruction and rehabilitation.

A holistic and integrated approach will be evolved towards disaster management with emphasis on building strategic partnerships at various levels. The themes underpinning the policy are:  Community based DM, including last mile integration of the policy, plans and execution.  Capacity development in all spheres.  Consolidation of past initiatives and best practices.  Cooperation with agencies at national and international levels.  Multi-sectoral synergy.

Disaster wise mitigation measures may be taken as follows:-

A. Floods and Cyclones:- Flooding frequency is quite frequent in many Block of the district. Strict enforcement of flood zone regulations needs to be done to prevent construction of any type within 200 meter of the riverbanks. Engineering solutions like building of flood embankment, small dams, deepening of the channels may be considered for specific localities. Community awareness should be built up so that people respond effectively to the flooding. Persons living in the low lying parts of flood plains, areas below: Unsafe dams are vulnerable to flood hazards. Notable risk in flood plain settlements are buildings made of earth of with soluble mortar, buildings with shallow foundations or non-resistant to water force and inundation. Infrastructural elements at particular risk are utilities such as sewer systems, power and water supplies, machinery and electronics belonging to industry and communications, livestock, vehicles, agricultural fields etc. Inhabitants of flood prone areas usually have a number of traditional methods at their disposal for coping with floods. Some aspects of floods planning and response are:-

o Issuing warnings at the local levels. o Participating in food fighting by organizing work parties to repair. o Embankments or clear debris from drainage areas, pile sandbags.

o Stockpile needed materials. o Facilitating agricultural recovery. o Planning emergency supplies of flood and clean drinking water. o To conduct training on search and rescue for Search and Rescue. Teams formed at District, Revenue Circle and Village level from time to time. There is need for trained full time fire brigade personnel in each municipality who will help in search and rescue. The health department needs to be equipped with more water quality monitoring centers for effective surveillance of water quality during flood events. Provision of wireless communication equipment to all tehsil offices so that information about approaching cyclone can be relayed immediately. Main Mitigation Strategies:- 1. Mapping of the flood prone areas is a primary step involving 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. Warning can be issued looking into the earlier marked heights of the water levels in case of potential threat. 2. The onset of cyclones is extensive and often very destructive. A hazard map will illustrate the areas vulnerable to the cyclone in any given year. 3. The map is prepared with data inputs off past climatologically records, history of wind speed, frequency of flooding etc. 4. Land use control will reduce the danger of life and property when waters inundate the floodplain areas. In areas where people already have built their settlement, measures should be taken to relocate to better sites so as to reduce vulnerability. No major development should be permitted in the areas which are subjected to high flooding. Important important buildings should be built in safe areas. 5. Construction of engineered structure in the flood plain and strengthening of structures to withstand flood forces and seepage. The buildings should be constructed on an elevated area. If necessary build on stilts or platform. They should be constructed on an elevated area. If necessary build on stilts or platform. They should be wind and water resistant. Protect river embankments. Communication lines should be installed underground. Provide strong halls for community shelter in vulnerable locations. 6. Food Control aims to reduce flood damage. Measures such as re-forestation, protection of vegetation, clearing of debris, conservation of ponds and lakes, etc. 7. Structural measures include storage reservoirs, flood embankments, drainage, anti erosion works, detention basins, etc. and non-structural measures include flood forecasting, flood proofing, disaster preparedness, etc. B. Road Accidents: 1. Setting up of a Highway Safety patrol along the National Highway (NH 44) and other highway, which will be a specialized division of the high way police to tackle road accidents. 64

2. Provision of full time trained fire brigade personnel at least in all the Nagar Panchayats/Municipal Council. 3. Provision of adequate signboards, speed breakers and guard stones near the accident prone spots. 4. Some Hospitals along the National Highway (NH8) and other highway should be upgraded with X-ray Machines, Blood Bank and Surgical facilities. 5. If necessary, by passes should be constructed wherever the high way passes through densely populated localities. 6. The risk at the accident – prone spots must be minimized by adequate construction/ resurfacing / widening etc. C. FIRES: Provision of trained manpower to the fire stations, provision of fire engines and trained manpower to all the Nagar Panchayets/Municipal Councils. All fire tenders should be equipped with wireless sets. The procedural delay for fire engines to move outside the Municipal/Nagar Panchayets areas should be removed. The coordinating authority for this may be vested with a Senior Officer in the municipal administration.

RECONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY MEASURES

Recovery and Reconstruction As per need and priority following components are

Restoration of critical infrastructures and basic facilities Our national security, economic prosperity, and national well-being are dependent upon a set of highly interdependent critical infrastructures. Examples of these infrastructures include the national electrical grid, oil and natural gas systems, telecommunication and information networks, 66

transportation networks, water systems, and banking and financial systems. Given the importance of their reliable and secure operations, understanding the behavior of these infrastructures - particularly when stressed or under attack - is crucial. Models and simulations can provide considerable insight into the complex nature of their behaviors and operational characteristics. These models and simulations must include interdependencies among infrastructures if they are to provide accurate representations of infrastructure characteristics and operations. A number of modeling and simulation approaches under development today directly address interdependencies and offer considerable insight into the operational and behavioral characteristics of critical infrastructures. Reconstruction, Repair of lifeline building, social infrastructure State-of-the-art of lifeline system management under earthquake risk is discussed. After a historical overview and specific features of lifeline earthquake engineering, elements of lifeline earthquake engineering practice are presented. Then two topics are addressed specifically. First seismic reliability under system interaction is discussed with its general scheme and an analytical methodology. Next, criteria for lifeline performance are discussed with an emphasis on quantification of qualitative issues that are needed particularly in implementation processes. Finally, future orientations of earthquake engineering and its relation to lifeline earthquake engineering are addressed. It is emphasized that we should establish a third generation earthquake engineering where structural and geotechnical mitigation, crisis management, and sustainable development should be integrated through multi-disciplinary developments. Some examples of multi-disciplinary research initiatives are introduced. RECONSTRUCTION REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY MEASURES Rehabilitation relates to the work undertaken in the following weeks and months, for the restoration of basic services to enable the population to return to normalcy. Actions taken during the period following the emergency phase is often defined as the recovery phase, which encompasses both rehabilitation and reconstruction. Rehabilitation refers to the actions taken in the aftermath of a disaster to enable basic services to resume functioning, assist victims‟ self-help efforts to repair physical damage and community 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 more major, long-term development. Reconstruction: Reconstruction refers to the full restoration of all services, and local 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 future disaster risks and possibilities to reduce such risks by incorporating appropriate measures. Damaged structures and services may not necessarily be restored in their previous form or location. It may include the replacement of any temporary arrangements

established as part of emergency response or rehabilitation. The following sectors can be vulnerable to disaster impact, and which, therefore, will require rehabilitation and reconstruction inputs. Buildings Infrastructure Economic assets (including formal and formal commercial sectors, industrial and agricultural activities etc.) Administrative and political Psychological Cultural Social Environmental As discussed earlier rehabilitation and reconstruction comes under recovery phase immediately after relief and rescue operation of the disaster. This post disaster phase continues until the life of the affected people comes to normal. This phase mainly covers damage assessment, disposal of debris, disbursement of assistance for houses, formulation of assistance packages, monitoring and review, cases of non-starters, rejected cases, non-occupancy of houses, relocation, town planning and development plans, awareness and capacity building, housing insurance, grievance redressed and social rehabilitation etc.

Post Disaster Reconstruction and Rehabilitation

Post disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation should pay attention to the following activities for speedy recovery in disaster hit areas. The contribution of both government as well as affected people is significant to deal with all the issues properly. Damage assessment Disposal of debris Disbursement of assistance for houses Formulation of assistance packages Monitoring and review Cases of non-starters, rejected cases, non-occupancy of houses Relocation Town planning and development plans Reconstruction as Housing Replacement Policy Awareness and capacity building Housing insurance Reconstruction of Houses Damaged / Destroyed Houses should be reconstructed in the disaster hit areas according to the following Instructions: Owner Driven Reconstruction Public Private Partnership Program (PPPP) Under the PPPP the houses are reconstructed by the NGOs for the beneficiaries to be registered in the joint names of the husband and wife. All the houses should be insured. Owner Driven Reconstruction Financial, technical and material assistance provided by the government. The designs for seismic reconstruction of houses provided by the Government. The material assistance

provided through material banks at subsidized rates. Design of 20 model houses provided to the public to choose from with an option to have one‟s own design. Development Plan

Disaster Management involves planning what to do before, during and after a disaster or emergency occurs. Through further understanding these hazards, and assessing a structure's behaviour to them, we can better prepare for disasters. DISASTER MANAGEMENT THE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE Five Year Plan documents have, historically, not included consideration of issues relating to the management and mitigation of natural disasters. The traditional perception has been limited to the idea of “calamity relief”, which is seen essentially as a non-plan item of expenditure. However, the impact of major disasters cannot be mitigated by the provision of immediate relief alone, which is the primary focus of calamity relief efforts. Disasters can have devastating effects on the economy; they cause huge human and economic losses, and can significantly set back development efforts of a region or a State. Two recent disasters, the Orissa Cyclone and the Gujarat Earthquake, are cases in point. With the kind of economic losses and developmental setbacks that the country has been suffering year after year, the development process needs to be sensitive towards disaster prevention and mitigation aspects. There is thus need to look at disasters from a development perspective as well. Further, although disaster management is not generally associated with plan financing, there are in fact a number of plan schemes in operation, such as for drought proofing, afforestation, drinking water, etc., which deal with the prevention and mitigation of the impact of natural disasters. External assistance for post-disaster reconstruction and streamlining of management structures also is a part of the Plan. A specific, centrally sponsored scheme on disaster management also exists. The Plan thus already has a defined role in dealing with the subject. Recently, expert bodies have dwelt on the role of the Planning Commission and the use of plan funds in the context of disaster management. Suggestions have been made in this regard by the Eleventh Finance Commission, and also the High Powered Committee on Disaster Management. An approach on planning for safe development needs to be set out in the light of these suggestions. This chapter reflects the considerations outlined above. It briefly outlines the global context and the Indian experience of disasters, sets out the institutional and financial arrangements for disaster management and the response towards these in the country, looks at directions for improvement, and concludes with a strategy to facilitate planning for safe national development in the Tenth Plan period.

PROCEDURE AND METHODOLOGY FOR MONITORING, EVALUATION, UPDATION AND MAINTENANCE OF DDMP:

Authority for Monitoring & Reviewing the DDMP Usually members of DDMA review the DDMP once or twice a year. In addition, to handle any emergency situation, DDMP is review and updated, such as COVID-19 71

Pandemic. DDMP reviewed is done where the present is used to meet goals of the future and what will correct the mistakes; the common people will be develop. Some issues are given priority in reviewing-

a) Every year already been review and monsoon situation it has been check up for implementation under the supervision of District Authority b) It has been checked to fighting of COVID-19 pandemic and add some important guidelines c) DDMP uploaded in the District website d) DDMP already been circulated to line department and SDMs, BDOs e) Update coordinates of responsible personnel and their roles in every six month or whenever a change happens. Contact details of nodal officer updated on regular basis f) DDMA regularly interaction and meeting with central government agencies for strengthening coordination during disaster g) The DEOC of South Tripura District responsible for keeping the plan in updated form and collecting, collating and processing the information h) South Tripura District, regularly conducting training and orientation of the officer/officials responsible to implement this plan and it is useful to the District Administration i) The plan and guideline circulated all departments of South Tripura District to know their role and responsibilities and also prepare their departmental DMP j) Other agencies integrated into the plan exercise regularly k) Preparedness level as well as gaps and lessons learnt. Based on the ideas shared to all stakeholders

Post Disaster Evaluation mechanism for DDMP

DDMA call meeting under the Chairperson of DM & Collector whenever there is a crisis and assigns the responsibility of the work to the District level officers. In normal situation DDMP is reviewed and how it can take shape in reality is analyzed. Moreover, in the pre-monsoon DDMC meeting are held is a calendar programme

Monitoring and Evaluation

They provide a systematic approach to assess the how and why disaster interventions lead to specific outcomes. ... Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) can be defined as a quality improvement process which health departments use to monitor, measure and assess performance Monitoring is the systematic collection and analysis of information as a project/programme progresses. It is aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of a project or organisation. It is based on targets set and activities planned during the planning phases of work. It helps to keep the work on track, and can let management know when things are going wrong. If done properly, it is an invaluable tool for good management, and it provides a useful base for evaluation. It enables one to determine whether there are sufficient resources and whether these are

utilized correctly, whether there is sufficient and appropriate capacity and capability, and whether what has been for is being implemented. Evaluation is the comparison of actual project impacts against the agreed strategic plans. It looks at what you set out to do, at what you have accomplished, and how you accomplished it. It can be formative. It can also be summative Someone once described this as the difference between a check-up and an autopsy! What monitoring and evaluation have in common is that they are geared towards learning from what one is doing and how ones does it, by focusing on: Government-Wide Monitoring and Evaluation System The White Paper on Local Government directs national government to provide a coherent framework that seeks to ensure that the reporting requirements placed on municipalities are reasonable, and should also ensure the rationalization and standardization into an annualized national data collection system. The outcome of this process will enable government to acquire reliable information from local government on progress in the implementation of policies and programmes. In 2009, the South African government adopted an Outcome-Based Approach to track the performance and impact of service delivery to the citizens. A number of policies and frameworks have been developed by the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (DPM&E) as well as National Treasury (NT) and the department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) to monitor the progress on service delivery across the spheres of government. The Presidency’s document on Improving Government Performance, which has some of its guiding principles as: Strengthening our ability to cooperate across the three levels of government and work as a single delivery machine, Build a partnership between government and civil society so that we can work together to achieve our goal of a better life.
