Amendment to the Constitution of India in 2005 the Disaster Management Act Was Enacted Under the Concurrence List of the Constitution of India

INTRODUCTIN

With the 73rd and 74th amendment to the constitution of India in 2005 the Disaster Management Act was enacted under the concurrence list of the constitution of India . This act comprises 79 sections and 11 chapters.This act provides for the prerequisite institutional mechanism for monitoring and implementation of plans. It ensures measures by various wings of the Government for the prevention and mitigation of disasters. With the enactment of disaster management act 2005 ,National policy on Disaster Management was framed in 2005. All State Governments have been directed to implement the National policy on Disaster Management to safeguard the safety of people, property and ensure developmental planning giving importance to the pre disaster preparedness. Preparedness rather than post – crisis management, co-ordinated participatory approach, technology upgradation and deployment, information as a tool for disaster management, recognition of linkages between disasters and development, connecting specific programmes for management of natural disasters, forecasting and warning using latest technology, are some of the important features of disaster management. Natural disasters are flood, cyclone, landslide, hailstorm, earthquake and Tsunami.In Tripura it is observed from the records of last 50 years, mostly widespread flood affected the people of Tripura in different years. In the years 1983, 1993, 1994, 2003, 2004, the people of Tripura experienced the divastating flood. In some years, cyclone hailstorm, landslide, and earthquake also, damaged lives and property. Recently cyclone and thunderstorm are playing a disastrous role for the loss of life and property in Tripura. Three persons died of thunderstorm in the months of may and June 2012 under Gomati District. Necessary steps have been taken to provide financial help to the families of the victims.

Flood is the most common and widespread natural calamity in Tripura . Literally Tripura stands for Twi which means water and Para which implies land. Tripura thus stands for land with water. Average rainfall is over 250cms annually in Tripura. This state is one of the highly flood prone States in our country. The perennial rainfall is concentrated in few months as shown in the graph and more than thousand hectares of land is prone to flood and causing damage to houses, industries, public utilities, agricultural crops, cattle& animals and property resulting in huge economic losses, apart from loss of lives. Though it is not possible to control the flood totally, by adopting suitable structural and non-structural measures the flood damages can be minimized.

Average annual rainfall in the district is about 2090 mm. Rain is brought by the South -West Monsoon, which normally comes in the month of May with maximum intensity of rainfall during June-July.

The Gomati is the major river in Gomati District. This river originates from hill ranges of this state and flows down to Bangladesh after traversing through narrow valleys. In addition to that, there are numerous Cherras which pour water into the river. The River is flashy and meandering in nature. 70% of the catchments lies in hills and as such bed slopes are very steep and the velocity of flood discharges is also high. Traditional Jhum cultivation, extensive deforestation aggravates the flood intensity/ damages. Unusual erosion of banks also creates tremendous problems to protect the district and sub- divisional towns, villages and other permanent structures and borderlands on the riverbanks. As, the river flows through narrow valleys, there is also little scope to construct embankments on both the banks leaving away adequate waterway. There is also little scope for taking up flood control reservoir project due to constraints in shifting & rehabilitation of people - mostly tribal. Gomati District, along with the other part of the state of Tripura faced severe Flood in the year 1983, 1993 and 2004.

MULTI - HAZARD DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2017 - 18

WHY IS IT

The purpose of preparing District Disaster Management Action Plan (DDMAP) is – a) To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available with the various agencies involved in the management of disaster in the District. b) Assess their adequacies and short falls if any in providing a multi- disaster response. c) Suggest institutional strengthening, technology support, up gradation of information system and data management for improving the quality of administrative responses to disaster at the district level and finally, d) To evolve DDMAP as an effective managerial tool.

MAIN OBJECTIVE OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT

a. Promoting a culture of prevention, preparedness and resilience at all levels through knowledge, innovation and education. b. Encouraging mitigation measures based on technology, tradition wisdom and environmental sustainability. c. Mainstreaming disaster management into the developmental planning precess. d. Establishing institutional and technolegal frameworks to create and enabling regulatory environment and a compliance regime. e. Ensuring efficient mechanism for identification, assessment and monitoring of disaster risks. f. Ensuring efficient response and relief g. Undertaking reconstruction as an opportunity to build disaster resilient structure. h. Promoting a productive and pro active partnership with the media for disaster management. i. Ensuring co ordination among various departments and relief agencies related to disaster. j) Capacity building to reduce risks. k) Wide spread awarness campaign with training.

DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2017 – 2018

A formal planning for managing disaster is therefore necessary to ensure minimum lose of life and property . This can be achieved only through planned management of disaster :- In the absence of a defined plan, response to a disaster would be arbitrary leading to over emphasis of some actions or other actions, which would be critical. Moreover, due to absence of a defined response structure and allocations of responsibilities, there would be mismanagement of resources and overlap of actions among various agencies, which may exacerbate the situation there by compounding the disaster effect.

District Disaster Management Plan is useful at pre-disaster stage, when warnings could be issued, for example, that flood is emminent. The plan again serves as guide to officials at the critical time and precious time is saved which might otherwise be lost in consultations with senior officers and getting formal approval from authorities. As, it is, neither economical nor practicable to protect every item and the entire population against calamitous situations, response plans are formulated for relief, rehabilitation and restoration by separate agencies. District Disaster Management plan is an operational module for the district administration, how to mitigate the different types of disaster effectively with the locally available resources and personnel and to provide the distressed people with immediate relief. It also ensures a checklist for all the stakeholders for an action oriented response structure and to study their preparedness level.

IMPACT OF NATURAL DISASTER

Consequences of Floods

Floods mean heavy and unmanageable inundation caused by heavy rainfall or man-made factors like poor drainage, breach in embankments and sediment deposition. Consequences are:

• Evacuation of people and livestock from inundated sites; • Destruction of life and infrastructure; • Damage to agricultural land for cultivation; • Food shortages as the water can destroy food stocks, farms, gardens etc.; • Spread of waterborne diseases, as the water stagnates for a long time; and • Wetness and seepage in houses. 11 Effect of cyclone

Cyclone is a huge revolving storm caused by winds blowing around a central area of low atmospheric pressure. Its major consequences include:

• Storm surge and wind damage; • Inland flooding; • People become shelterless; • Damage to crops; and • Food shortage. Depression - 32-50 km/hr wind speed. Deep Depression - 51- 61 km/hr wind speed. Cyclonic Storm - 62-68 km/hr wind speed. Severe Cyclonic - Storm 89-117 km/hr wind speed. Severe Cyclonic Storm/Hurricane - 117+ km/hr wind speed. •

Consequences of Landslide

A landslide is a geological phenomenon, which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows. When landslide occurs, the effect on people’s lives can be severe. The impact on people’s livelihoods or the ecosystem may be minimal, if it occurs in remote areas. However the effects can be devastating when they occur in populated places. Landslide may cause destruction to buildings, crops, farms, water systems, roads and other infrastructure.

Impact of Earthquake

An earthquake is a sudden violent motion of the earth, caused by natural processes wresting the earth’s crust. Its aftermath includes:

• Damage to buildings; • Collapse of poorly designed or built structures; • Loss of lives; • Injuries to people and livestock; and • Short-circuit and on-set of fires.

MEDICAL AND FIRST AID TEAM :-

Hospital Disaster Management Plans :- Disaster Management Plans need to be prepared by all hospitals. Medical facilities, training of medical personnel, creating awareness about drowning and its management will be a part of the plan. Hospitals must nominate an officer for coordinating management for flood casualties. Contingency plans will be made ready for providing additional beds. Oxygen cylinders, continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) ventilators, dressing materials, blood and IV fluid for transfusion will be stocked. The hospital casualty room is to be equipped with resuscitation equipment like suction apparatus, airways laryngoscope, pulse oxymeter, defibrillator and life saving drugs. In the aftermath of a flood, public health response is one of the prime responsibilities of medical authorities. They will ensure safe water supply and clean food availability along with maintenance of hygiene and sanitation by proper bio-waste disposal. Water testing and food inspection is required to be carried out regularly to prevent outbreak of any epidemic. An effective communication system is an essential requirement for prompt medical response.

Creation of Trained Medical First Responders The state government/SDMA/DDMAs will ensure the creation of trained medical first responders for first aid and resuscitation measures for drowning cases. Medical staff must know how to take out water from the respiratory tract and how to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A list of trained medical and paramedical staff must also be made available.

Medical Stores Medical kits will be prepared for the management of flood casualties. Intravenous (IV) fluid, ventilators, oxygen, dressing materials, tetanus toxoid, antibiotics, vaccines, anti-snake venom and anti-diarrhoea drugs will be the most commonly needed medical resources. Large-scale medical stores from where these materials can be procured will be identified.

41 Patient Evacuation Plan State governments/SDMOs will make available emergency medical equipment and drugs for esuscitation. Paramedical staff must be trained for resuscitation, triage and to maintain vital arameters like pulse, blood pressure, respiration and intravenous drip during evacuation. Mobile ambulances in the Block and Heliambulance in State or Distt need to be deployed to aid in the evacuation of flood casualties collected at high points. The ambulances should have Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for treatment.

Medical Preparedness:

Floods as a natural disaster have a high potential of precipitating the incidences of mass casualties. There is the risk of drowning and physical trauma along with the threat of diseases associated with contamination of water and the creation of mosquitobreeding sites. Direct health effects of a flood may include: drowning; injuries like cuts, sprains, fractures, electric shocks; diarrhoea, vector-and rodent-borne diseases like malaria, leptospirosis; skin and eye infections; and psychological stress. The indirect health consequences of floods are usually due to damage caused to health care infrastructure and loss of essential drugs, damage to water and sanitation infrastructure, damage to crops and disruption of food supplies, destruction of property causing lack of shelter that may lead to increased exposure to disease-vectors. Adverse effects of floods on health can be prevented by medical preparedness. Medical preparedness for floods constitutes the following components.

DESCRIPTION OF VULNERABLE AREAS OF GOMRTI DISTRICT:

Flood fore-casting:-

The flood fore casting is generally done either by computation of observed rainfall in all Sub-catchments through self recording rain gauge or by observation of flood levels at suitable points/stating in the upper region of river. Both have to be transmitted at short intervals by wireless requiring elaborate round the clock operation of wireless system. This will be purposeful only in long rivers where the time gap of flood water from observed river gauge station/rain gauge station to the flood prone region be at least more then eight hours which is required for receiving the news of flood magnitude computed and getting prepared. But all the rivers in Tripura are of smaller length originating within the state. Hence in Tripura, Flood fore casting technique has very limited help in giving advance intimation of flood probability. Amarpur Sub-division :-

Problems:

The availability of fund in this sector is insignificant in comparison to the extent of problem. As such most of the targeted Hard Engineering options i,e. structural works could not be taken up due to paucity of fund. Emergency Search, evacuation and Rescue role of Neighbourhood Community The local community in the affected neighbourhood is always the first responder after a disaster. Experience has shown that over 80 per-cent of search and rescue is carried out by the local community before the intervention of the state machinery and specialised search and rescue teams. Thus trained and equipped teams consisting of local people will be set up in flood prone areas to respond effectively in the event of floods.

VULNERABILITY MAPPINGS Vulnerability analysis :- A vulnerability analysis considers the population and structures at risk within the flood-prone area. The analysis evaluates the potential costs of flooding in terms of damages to buildings, crops, roads, bridges and critical infrastructure, such as utilities. Normally the analysis is carried out for various probabilities of floods, and an elevation-damage curve is developed. A vulnerability analysis, because it identifies the population at greatest risk, can also be used to identify the emergency responses that may be required, including the need for temporary shelters and evacuation requirements. The analysis is also valuable for making a decision on the level of flood protection. The decision is based on knowledge of the degree of cost effectiveness of various options. However it should be a public process that establishes the "acceptable level of risk" that leads to the return period appropriate for the delineation of flood-prone areas. The analysis may also generate information useful in determining the benefits of flow forecasting. Delineation of the flood-prone areas :- Delineation of the flood-prone area Reducing Flood Losses there may be a necessity to define several zones within the flood-prone area, dependent on the velocity of the river and other physical factors. In order to map and delineate an area affected by floodwaters, there is the need to select a flood basin that can be designed to cater in the event of flood, a probability-based analysis wherein systematic records and historical information on past flooding are used to develop a relation of probability of occurrence versus magnitude. It is becoming popular to adopt the concept of acceptable risk rather than adopting preset levels of protection associated with a specific probability of occurrence. A community and its government may wish to move to more extreme design levels when faced with the reality of future loss-of-life and extreme economic hardships when the future event occurs.

Bridges and Roads :-

Bridges generally constrict the flow of water, their hydraulic characteristics must be considered at the design stage to prevent an unacceptable rise of water levels upstream of the structure. Bridges are important in terms of maintaining access for evacuation and delivery of medical and other emergency services. Key transportation corridors should have high design standards that will withstand extreme flooding events. However not all bridges require a high level of protection, and the design criteria can be to a lesser standard that takes into consideration the possibility of overtopping.

Bridges are expensive, and difficult to replace quickly after a flood event. An alternative strategy is to design the approach roads to be the weak link in the chain so that extreme events wash out the road but do not damage the bridge. Approaches can be quickly repaired after a flood event and transportation corridors restored. Road design, either parallel to the river or leading to bridges, must be given careful consideration. There is a temptation to raise roads that have been overtopped by flood events without giving adequate consideration to the number and size of openings necessary to pass local drainage or tributary inflow. In such cases the road can artificially raise water levels upstream and cause additional flood damage. Roads can also act as levees when they are parallel to the river. Hydraulic studies must be undertaken before roads are raised to fully establish the impacts of these activities.

Roads and railway embankments cut across the drainage lines and may lead to increase in vulnerability of the area, through which they pass, to flooding and drainage congestion, if they are not properly aligned, located and designed. Inadequate waterway in the form of vents/culverts/ bridges/causeways is another cause of increase in vulnerability to floods.

The Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways (MOSRTH), MOR, MOD, NHAI, BRO, state government/SDMA will ensure that national highways, state highways, district and other roads are aligned, located and designed properly with respect to height and width and provided with

62 adequate waterway in the form of vents, culverts, bridges and causeways so as to make them flood safe and not increase the vulnerability of the area to flooding and drainage congestion. The safety of existing roads/railway embankments against floods will also be checked by the MOSRTH, MOR, MOD, NHAI, BRO and state government/SDMA/DDMAs, and if found inadequate, measures by way of increasing height and width and augmenting waterway by constructing additional bridges/culverts/causeways or by adding more spans to existing ones, will be taken up.

65 ZONING OF FLOOD-PRONE AREAS :-

The best way to reduce future flood damages is to prevent development from occurring on flood- prone lands. Zoning of such lands is an effective approach, but generally should be coupled with the broader land-use planning mentioned above so that the land has a defined use. Zoning can be used to reduce damages from flooding and be flexible enough to recognize that other forms of land use are compatible. An example is agricultural use of lands in flood-prone areas where water velocities are low enough not to cause serious erosion. Flood-prone lands can continue to be used for agricultural purposes, particularly where the amount of agricultural land is limited. It is important, however, to ensure that the supporting infrastructure such as buildings and houses are located away from the flood-prone area or are flood proofed. It is also important that livestock, machinery or stored crops can be evacuated quickly from the area in the event of a flood. This underscores the importance of a flood forecast, warning and response system. Zoning of flood-prone lands as ecological reserves or protected wetlands can often help to meet broader environmental or biodiversity goals. In addition, such lands often play an important role in sustaining the fishery, and they can also act as temporary storage and infiltration areas.

Redevelopment of flood-prone areas A major flood disaster is sometimes an opportunity to correct the planning errors of the past. Removal of flood-prone development and conversion of the land to a conforming use is an option to consider. It may be less expensive in the long run to physically relocate flood-prone development, buy it out as part of a disaster assistance programme, or include its purchase in long term planning. The success of the latter approach can be enhanced by measures such as prohibiting improvements not required for health and safety, placing caveats on the land title, and by obtaining rights of first refusal on resale.

FLOOD RISK MAPPING :-

Mapping defines the area at risk and should be the basis for all flood damage reduction programmes and subsequent actions. The maps often have a legal connotation in terms of zoning and other structural and nonstructural measures undertaken, so they need to be accurate and credible. The mapping is normally based on a frequency of flood event determined by public consultation and consultation with PRIs which gets reflected in policy. The vulnerability analysis is site specific. If the District, regional or Block flood reduction programmes are in place, there are advantages to a common mapping standard. If the historical flood is used, then some attempt should be made to assign a return period 0to the event for communication and design purposes. Maps become the common element in terms of identification of flood-prone areas, identifying the risk to individuals and lending institutions, preparation of emergency response plans, and design of flood protection and flood proofing measures. It has value as an educational and communications tool, and they should be readily available to the public as well as to emergency response agencies at all levels of government. Through modern computational systems, inundation maps can be generated in realtime and be part of the hydrological forecast system. These can greatly assist in communication to residents in areas of potential risk, and in planning response actions and assistance.

Flood prone areas and identified shelter / relief camps under Gomati District District:-

Relief Camps The setting up of relief camps for the people whose houses have been damaged by floods and the provision of basic amenities in such camps involves complex logistics of mobilising relief supplies, tents, water supply and sanitation systems, transport and communication systems, and medical supplies. The panchayat buildings in the villages in flood prone areas will be made flood proof as by raising their plinth level at least 0.6 m above the drainage/flood submergence line and making them at least double storeyed or constructing ring bunds around them. Wherever the panchayat building is single storey, a stairway will invariably be provided to the roof so that people can take shelter there temporarily.

70 71 Devastation caused by Flood the local communication infrastructure often fails, the severity of a flood cannot be estimated immediately after its occurrence. The preliminary assessment of the severity of a flood should be based on water level and the estimate of the area flooded as assessed from satellite imageries. Field observation data will be used to modify this assessment once available.

Flood Management Plans

Flood Management Plans (FMPs) prepared by all agencies will incorporate detailed guidelines for prioritised implementation of various activities depending on magnitude and the severity of floods. Response component of DM plans will involve rapid deployment of supplies and logistics, along with the duration of potential deployment. These plans will prescribe appropriate coordination mechanism with other agencies working in the affected areas.

Preparing for a Flood

Here are some basic steps to take to prepare for the flood:

 Contact the local geologist or town planning department or meteorology department to find out if your home is located in a flash-flood-prone area or landslide-prone area.  Learn about your community's emergency plans, warning signals, evacuation routes, and locations of emergency shelters.  Plan and practice a flood evacuation route with your family. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to be the "family contact" in case your family is separated during a flood. Make sure everyone in your family knows the name, address, and phone number of this contact person.

74  Post emergency phone numbers at every phone.  Inform local authorities about any special needs, i.e., elderly or bedridden people, or anyone with a disability.  Identify potential home hazards and know how to secure or protect them before the flood strikes. Be prepared to turn off electrical power when there is standing water, fallen power lines etc. Turn off gas and water supplies before you evacuate. Secure structurally unstable building materials.  Buy a fire extinguisher and make sure your family knows where it is and how to use it.  Buy and install sump pumps with back-up power.  Have a licensed electrician to raise electric components (switches, sockets, circuit breakers and wiring) at least 12" above your home's projected flood elevation.  For drains, toilets, and other sewer connections, install backflow valves or plugs to prevent floodwaters from entering.  Anchor fuel tanks which can contaminate your basement if torn free. An unanchored tank outside can be swept downstream and damage other houses.

If you are under a flood watch or warning:

 Gather the emergency supplies you previously stocked in your home and stay tuned to local radio or television station for updates.  Turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve if evacuation appears necessary.  Have your immunization records handy or be aware of your last tetanus shot, in case you should receive a puncture wound or a wound becomes contaminated during or after the flood.  Fill bathtubs, sinks and plastic soda bottles with clean water. Sanitize the sinks and tubs first by using bleach. Rinse and fill with clean water.  Bring outdoor possessions, such as lawn furniture, grills and trash cans inside or tie them down securely.

Post Receding of flood waters:- There is a possibility of spread of water borne diseases after flood, and hence medical treatment should be taken immediately. Do not enter deep, unknown waters. Do not go near the riverbank even after the floodwater has receded. Sprinkle medicines in the stagnant dirty water. Inspect your house for any cracks or other damage. Check all the walls, floor, ceiling, doors and windows, so that any chance of house falling down can be known and you can be aware about the immediate danger. If the floodwater has entered the house or has surrounded the house, then it is advisable not to enter such house. Keep listening to weather forecast on radio and television. Move to your residence only when instructed by the competent authority. It is not safe to believe that the problems have ended after the flood water have receded Inform the competent authority/officer for restoration of the necessary

76 connections like gas, electricity, telephone, drainage, etc. Beware of the various insects or poisonous snakes that may have been dragged inside the house along with the floodwater. Destroy the food commodities that have been affected by floodwater. Check properly all the electric circuits, floor level furnace, boilers, gas cylinders, or electric equipments like motor pump etc. Check whether any inflammable or explosive item has not entered along with the floodwater.

Search and Rescue Teams :- Community level teams will be developed in each district with basic training in search and rescue. Training modules will be developed for trainers of community level search and rescue teams by the NDRF training institutes. On the ground, besides others, the NDRF battalions will also assist the state government/district authorities in training communities. They will be further assisted by the ATIs, CD, Home Guards and NGOs.Youth organisations such as the NCC, NSS and NYKS will provide support services to the response teams at the local level under the overall guidance and supervision of the local administration

The state governments, through the ATIs, will develop procedures for formally recognizing and certifying such trained search and rescue team members; they will also provide suitable indemnity to community level team members for their actions in the course of emergency response following a flood. . Emergency Relief :- Trained community level teams will assist in planning and setting up emergency shelters, distributing relief among the affected people, identifying missing people, and addressing the needs of education, health care, water supply and sanitation, food etc. of the affected community. Members of these teams will be made aware of the specific requirement of the disaster-affected communities. It will be ensured by the concerned authorities that the stockpiling of the essential commodities has been carried out. These teams will also assist the government in identifying the most vulnerable people who may need special assistance following floods.

77 Incident Command System :-

All response activities will be undertaken at the local level through a suitably devised Incident Command System (ICS) coordinated by the local administration through the EOCs.State governments will commission and maintain EOCs at appropriate levels for the coordination of human resources, relief supplies and equipment. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the EOCs will be developed by state governments and integrated within the framework of the ICS, which will take advantage of modern technologies and tools, such as GIS maps, scenarios and simulation models for effectively responding to disasters. GIS maps available from other sources, such as the city planning departments will be compiled considering their potential application after a disaster. The state governments/SDMAs will undertake the training of personnel involved in the ICS. Some of the state governments have already adopted this system. Community-based Disaster Preparedness and Response Coordination among Various Organisations Institutionalising the Role of PRIs, Community Based Organisations, Non-governmental Organisations etc.

A number of organisations, like NGOs, selfhelp groups, CBOs, youth organizations such as NCC, NYKS, NSS etc., women’s groups, volunteer agencies, CD, Home Guards, etc. normally volunteer their services in the aftermath of any disaster. Villagelevel task forces will also be constituted on voluntary basis for better preparedness of the community. The state governments/ SDMAs and DDMAs will coordinate the allocation of these human resources for performing various response activities. State governments will work with these agencies to understand and plan their roles in the command chain of the ICS, and incorporate them in the DM plans.

Media and Dissemination of Information :-

Soon after a flood, accurate information will need to be provided on the extent of the damage and other details of the response activities through electronic and print media. The state governments will

78 utilise different types of media, especially print, radio, television and internet, to disseminate timely and accurate information.

Involvement of the Corporate Sector:- State governments will facilitate the involvement of the corporate sector in making available their services and resources to the government during immediate aftermath of flood. The corporate sector, as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) effort, can provide, inter alia, the services hospitals, power and telecommunication, relief supplies, search and rescue equipment, water pumps and transport and logistics for movement of relief supplies to the extent possible. For instance the Construction Federation of India (CFI) has set up the India Disaster Response Network (IDRN), which can also be associated with the task of emergency response. State governments and district authorities will develop appropriate mechanisms to receive and optimally utilise all such assistance. Fire and Emergency Services :- The fire and emergency services in the ULBs of various states are being used as an emergency cum- fire services force. The fire and emergency services in the flood prone areas will develop adequate capacity to respond to serious flood situations, in addition to managing fires. Police Force:- The police plays an important role in the aftermath of floods in maintaining law and order, assisting in search and rescue, and in the transportation and certification of casualties. It is equally important that the police forces are properly equipped and trained. Home Guards :- The Home Guards serve as an auxiliary arm of the police force and support the district administration in various tasks. They will be trained for carrying out search, rescue and relief operations on occurrence of floods.

79 Identification of the Deceased :- In the event of mass casualties, states will develop systems for proper identification of the deceased, recording the details of victims, and making use of DNA fingerprinting. The technology will get enhanced with UIDN being developed. Emergency Medical Response Emergency Treatment at Site of Floods :- Prompt and efficient emergency medical response will be provided by Quick Reaction Medical Teams (QRMTs), mobile field hospitals, including floating hospitals for riverine islands and areas inaccessible by roads, Accident Relief Medical Vans (ARMVs) and heli-ambulances. They will be activated to reach the flood-affected areas immediately, along with dressing material, splints, portable X-ray machines, mobile operation theatres, resuscitation equipment and life-saving drugs, etc. Resuscitation, triage and medical evacuation of victims who require hospitalisation will be done in accordance with SOPs. Mortuary Facilities and disposal of Dead Bodies :- The state/District/Block will develop contingency plans to have sufficient mortuaries to preserve the dead bodies. After proper identification, dead bodies will be immediately disposed through district authorities, to prevent outbreak of an epidemic and environmental pollution.

Public Health Issues in Aftermath of Floods :- Safe and sufficient drinking water will be ensured. Protecting existing water sources from contamination, adding chlorine tablet in the water for residual disinfection effect and provision of latrine and proper waste disposal to avoid contamination through flies and other insects are important steps required immediately in the aftermath of a flood. Vector control will be done by spraying of shelters with residual insecticides. Provision of insecticides treated mosquito nets is recommended.

Psychosocial Aspects :- A large number of victims will suffer from psychosocial effects in the aftermath of a flood. The psychosocial impact of floods will be manifested as psychosocial reaction in the form of post- traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and other psychosocial ailments in displaced people due to flood.

80 A team comprising a social worker, a psychologist and a psychiatrist will provide counselling to them.
