The District Administration has realized the necessity to compile a plan to prevent/minimize the loss and also to facilitate faster recovery during an emergency of this kind. This booklet is more of a guidebook, which can help the administration, remains better prepared for earthquakes, floods and cyclones to safeguard lives, livelihood and property. 2.3 OBJECTIVES The objectives behind the preparation of the City Disaster Management Plan are: • To mitigate impact of natural and man-made hazards through preparedness at District and Ward level. • To provide effective support and resources to all the concerned individuals, groups and departments in disaster. • To assist the line departments, communities in developing compatible skills for disaster preparedness and management. • To disseminate factual information in a timely, accurate and tactful manner while maintaining necessary confidentiality. • To develop immediate and lone-term support plans for vulnerable people in/during disasters. • To create awareness among the people about hazards occurrence and increasing their participation in preparedness, prevention, development, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction process. • To have response system in place to face any eventuality. • To affect or elicit the least possible disruption to the normal life process when dealing with individuals in disaster. • To ensure active participation by the Government Administration, communities, NG0s, CBOs and volunteers at all levels making optimal utilization of human and material resources during the time of disaster. 5 2.4 PERSPECTIVE A formal plan for managing disaster would include: • Pre planning a proper sequence of response actions. • Allocation of responsibilities to the participant agencies. • Developing codes and standards operating procedures for various departments and relief agencies involved. • Inventory of existing facilities and resources. • Mechanism for effective management of resources. • Coordination of all relief activities including those of NGOs to ensure a coordinated and effective response. • Coordinating with the state response machinery for appropriate support. • Testing the plan including mock drills. • Defining levels of acceptable risk. • Monitoring and evaluation of actions taken during relief and rehabilitation. 2.5 History of previous Disaster Major Earthquakes in the Northeastern Region in Recent Past: Place Year Magnitude Remarks Sikkim 18th Sept’2011 6.9 Many people died.

  • COMMUNICATOR the Journal of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Volume LIII, Number-4, October-December, 2018 ISSN: 0588-8093 Message from Editor-In-Chief
    COMMUNICATOR The Journal of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Volume LIII, Number-4, October-December, 2018 ISSN: 0588-8093 Message From Editor-in-Chief At the outset, I wish to express my gratitude to all the academicians and scholars who participated and presented papers at the National Seminar on “The State of Indian Language Journalism and Training” organised by IIMC with support from Indian Council of Social Sciences and Research (ICSSR) on October, 29 and 30, 2018 at IIMC Campus. K. G. Suresh The conference was organised to Editor-in-Chief commemorate the silver jubilee of Director General, IIMC our Eastern Regional Campus at Dhenkanal, Odisha from where we started our first language journalism programme in Odia. In the last three years, we have given a major push to language journalism launching a Malayalam Journalism programme at our Kottayam, Kerala campus and Marathi Journalism programme at Amravati, Maharashtra campus. This apart, we have upgraded the Certificate programme in Urdu Journalism to a full fledged Diploma programme. We have even started a three months Advanced Certificate Programme in Sanskrit Journalism in collaboration with the Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth besides setting up the Department of Indian Language Journalism. Future plans include starting Hindi and Urdu Journalism programmes from our Jammu campus and Bangla from our Odisha campus. Apart from the papers presented at the conference, many eminent academicians have also contributed to this volume. I am confident that this special issue on the state of Indian language journalism and training would be a collector’s issue for both students and scholars as also media persons across the country and would help them in better understanding of the issues at stake and take requisite steps to improve the quality and standard of both language journalism and training at a time when language journalism is growing by leaps and bounds.
