2 Hazard, Vulnerability, Risk & Capacity Analysis

2.1 Hazard Analysis Each hazard is discussed as following: United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) has defined 2.1.1 Earthquake hazard as “a dangerous phenomenon, Panchkula lies in Seismic Zone IV. This substance, human activity or condition that means only one-step less from the highest may cause loss of life, injury or other health degree of vulnerability. An earthquake strikes impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods suddenly, without an early warning and may and services, social and economic disruption, cause huge building or infrastructural damage or environmental damage”. In simple words, a leading to human or personal loss. Therefore, hazard is the probability of occurrence of an preventive measures for ensuring safety of event that has the potential for causing injury buildings, structures, communication facilities, to life or damage to property or the water supply lines, electricity and life are of environment. utmost priority. To keep the district safe and disaster resilient, There are few particular areas where a comprehensive hazard assessment is vulnerability to earthquake hazard increases necessary. This plan follows a focused due to the surroundings and environment. approach to mitigate the hazards that Panchkula has both plain and hilly terrain and Panchkula as a district faces. exposure to earthquake hazard is different for both. The hilly region of Panchkula that falls .

2.2 Vulnerability Analysis 2.2.2 Social Vulnerability

The UNISDR defines vulnerability as “the Every society has its own dynamics that are characteristics and circumstances of a generally implemented across the society. The community, system or asset that make it groups within the community who are not at susceptible to the damaging effects of a par with other members, in terms of power, hazard”. In simple words, the exposure to a finance, accessibility to resources, age, sex etc. hazard makes someone vulnerable and the become socially vulnerable. The divide ability to cope with it depends upon various between these socially vulnerable groups and physical, social, economic and environmental rest of the community is more visible factors. These factors only categorise the especially during an emergency when there are vulnerability on the same lines. chances of such groups being neglected. Age, sex, economic status, caste are some factors on 2.2.1 Physical Vulnerability which the socially vulnerable people are identified in the society. Being physically close to the hazard is the most common form of getting exposed to a In Panchkula, the sex ratio is just 870 females hazard, i.e. of being ‘vulnerable’. People’s per 1000 males and in children (0-6 years), it occupancy of geographical areas where they is 850 girls per 1000 boys. This leads to a could be affected from a specific type of striking difference in the number of schools hazard and lives or property damage can be for boys and girls.
