Out Of the total 33 hazards identified by AnnexureVI Emergency Support Function (ESF) Plan HPC the State is vulnerable to 25 hazards. Every year the state faces the fury of nature in the form of perils caused by the vagaries of nature and aggravated by the intervention of human beings causing havoc to life and AnnexureVII Disaster Specific Response Plan property. It is ironical that the poor and weaker sections of society who have the least capacity to cope with the situation are the worst affected. AnnexureVIII List of Bodal Officers in Various Departments The threat of an impending earthquake in the state hangs like the proverbial Damocles sword over the large Annexure IX Important Contacts for Disaster Management numbers who live in the highest risk zone V as per the seismic zoning map of India. Over 70% of the people of the state are agrarian and very much dependent on the seasonal rainfall and changing climatic conditions. Annexure X List of district wise helipads in Himachal Pradesh Erratic rainfall and weather conditions cause frequent flash floods in the catchments of the major drainage systems of the state causing extensive damage to property and life. Vulnerability to natural disasters coupled with socio economic vulnerability of people underscores the need for evolving a comprehensive plan for disaster management. Traditionally communities have accepted disasters as acts of God and lived with them. With the advent of modern technologies, it has now become possible to manage a disaster at various stages using knowledge products and techniques available to us to predict and mitigate the impact. Preparation of plan, identification of roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders is an important step in this direction. The implementation of policy, rules, guidelines and available tools and techniques will go a long way in reducing the risks and vulnerability of people and critical infrastructure in the state. In order to ensure disaster mitigation, we need to mainstream sustainable development by incorporating vulnerability reduction as part of the planning process. The State Disaster Management Plan envisages using the available resources in all phases of disaster management, while addressing the multidimensional and multi sectoral aspects of disasters and the differing with varying vulnerability across the state. While the existing command and operation centric institutional mechanism is very effective and robust for carrying out response, relief, rehabilitation, the plan recognizes the need to reorient it to address the whole gamut of disaster management issues like prevention, mitigation, response, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction. The plan also attempts to put in place a coordinated, comprehensive and management centric response system with the active participation of community and by delineating proper sequence of actions at various stages of disaster management. I am sure that the availability of this plan will strengthen and facilitate proactive action on all phases of disaster management as it provides necessary direction and guidance for different stakeholders including victims of the disaster. I hope that this effort of the HPSDMA and SEC will usher in a new era of enhanced capacities for managing disasters risks and in generating necessary knowledge, skills, resources, motivation, attitude and accountability that will help in evolving a culture of prevention and preparedness and mitigating the impact of all possible hazards.
