Disaster Management Section DM Office, Alipurduar, West Bengal Fax: 03564-253637 Email ID- [email protected] FOREWORD Alipurduar district is the 20th district of the state of West Bengal and was made a separate district on 25th June 2014. The district is diverse in terrain as well as ethnicity. Places like Buxa Tiger Reserve , Jaldapara National Park , Jayanti Hills , Buxa Fort have always drawn the attention of tourists from different corner to this beautiful place. The district has also many rivers like Torsha, Holong , Mujnai , Rydak , Kaljani , Sankosh to name a few . The presence of many rivers makes the district a possible victim of floods during the monsoons every year .The year 1993 is notable as it was in this year that the district was ravaged by severe floods. Recently, in the last year also the district experienced a severe flash flood due to abnormal rainfall. According to the severity and intensity, last year’s flood is second to ’93 flood. The presence of rivers coming from the foothills of Bhutan also pose a great threat in the form of flash floods. The unpredictability of flash floods makes them a dangerous adversary. “Prevention is better than cure.” This proverb is none better suited than in the area of Disaster Management litigation. In order to manage any disaster it is prudent to be ready beforehand. Co-ordination and co-operation between the different departments of the Government in this regard is an absolute necessity. The Disaster Management Plan has been formulated with the intention of providing immediate and speedy remedial measures in the event of any calamity in the district of Alipurduar. This plan is a compilation of the flood management plans of the various Blocks and departments of Alipurduar district and provides information on the mode of action of the concerned Block or Department in the event of a natural calamity. I am confident that the preparatory measures taken by these blocks and departments will serve the people of Alipurduar well in their time of need.
