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. (Kakali Das (Datta) 2 Saju Vaheed A., IAS District Magistrate & Collector MESSAGE The publishing of Disaster Management Plan for the year 2021-22 by DDMA, South Tripura District is a step for improving upon the existing Plan and adopting a holistic approach towards disaster mitigation and preparedness as envisaged in the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The objective of the DDMA is to enable effective and prompt response to disaster, ensure better preparedness through effective coordination of key agencies and line departments, taking up of sustained mitigation activities, maintenance of inventories of resources, and regular monitoring and evaluation of disaster management activities in the district. The DDMP has been prepared as per the guidelines issued by the State Disaster Management Authority. It has collated all the relevant information from various key agencies and line departments. I urge all the agencies and departments to act as per the roles and responsibilities laid down in the DDMP to ensure coordinated efforts towards the best possible disaster mitigation and preparedness in South Tripura District. (Saju Vaheed A., IAS) 3 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.

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.
