As we all know that Disaster management has become an Act now in the country and the Government has decided to make serious efforts to mitigate and manage disasters. The Disaster Management Act, 2005 stipulates to put in place Disaster Management Plans aimed at reducing potential loss of life and property in disasters as well as ensuring strong preparedness, responses and recovery measures to manage any disaster situation. Disasters either natural or manmade have been main hurdles in the development of civilization since ages and affect humanity on long term basis. Natural disasters like landslides, flash floods, cloud bursts, forest fires, etc. affect life and environment. Past experiences in Fatehgarh Sahib District shows that each disaster situation throws up a new set of challenges which the Government agencies have to deal with. This plan has been prepared as per the guidance provided by the National Disaster Management Authority & State Disaster Management Authority and mandates the roles and functions to be played by the District Disaster Management Authority. Disaster Management, by its very nature, requires a multidisciplinary approach and hence, a strong coordination mechanism forms the core of successful management. This plan outlines the functions of the principal coordination aimed namely the Fatehgarh Sahib District Disaster Management Authority and the support functions to be performed by the line departments as well as the SDMA. However District Disaster Management Authority functions are listed out for the line departments. Regular updation of this DDMP shall help to initiate real time management. As such, each line department require to prepare its own Disaster Management Plan in alignment with this plan.
