District Disaster Management Plan Fatehgarh Sahib (2017-18)

Office of Deputy Commissioner, Fatehgarh Sahib Government of Punjab

FOREWARD

I am pleased to present the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) of Fatehgarh Sahib District. 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.

This plan shall be reviewed periodically by the DDMA to update all activities and information. A training plan has been prepared to enhance capacities of all departments for effective management of disasters.

I hope that plan serves the purpose.

(Shivdullar Singh) Deputy Commissioner, Fatehgarh Sahib Chairperson, DDMA, Fatehgarh Sahib

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Disasters are not new to mankind. They have been the constant, though inconvenient, companions of the human beings since time immemorial. Disaster can be natural or human- made. Earthquake, Flood, cyclone, hailstorm, cloud burst, landslide, soil erosion, snow avalanche etc. are examples of natural disaster while fire, epidemics, transports accidents, and leakage of chemicals/nuclear installations, environmental pollution etc. are human made disasters or human-induced disasters since they are the direct result of human action.

At the global level, there has been considerable concern over natural disasters. Even as substantial scientific and material progress is made, the loss of lives and property due to disasters has not decreased. In fact, the human toll and economic losses have mounted. It was in this background that the United Nations General Assembly, in 1989, declared the decade 1990-2000 as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction with the objective to reduce loss of lives and property and restrict socio-economic damage through concerted international action, especially in developing countries.

1.1 Disaster Management Act, 2005

The Government of India, in recognition of the importance of Disaster Management (DM) as a national priority, On 23 December 2005, took a defining step by enacting the Disaster Management Act. This is a unique legislation which provides for requisite institutional mechanism for drawing up and monitoring the implementation of the disaster management plans, ensuring measures by various wings of the Government for prevention and mitigating effects of disaster and for undertaking a holistic, coordinated and prompt response to any disaster situation.

The state of Punjab has already adopted National Disaster Management Act, 2005.Chapter IV of DM Act, 2005 mandates every district in the country to constitute a District Disaster Management Authorities. Article 31 of DM Act 2005 provides that “there shall be a plan for disaster management for every district of the state. The district plan shall be prepared by the District Authority, after consultation with the local authorities, covering HRVA measures to be taken for prevention and mitigation of disaster, capacity building and preparedness measures and response plan. The response plan includes allocation of responsibilities to the depth at local to district level; prompt response and relief, procurement of essential resources; establishment of communication link, and public awareness”. Subsection of Article 31 says that the district plan shall be received and update annually.

‘Disaster’ defines as per the Disaster Management Act 2005 section (2) d, a disaster refers to catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from either natural or manmade causes, or by accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human suffering, or damage to and destruction of property or damage to or degradation of environment, and is of such a nature or magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of the community of the affected area. In a simple sense, Disaster is when a hazard leads to loss of lives, properties and livelihood aspects on a large scale.

‘Disaster Management’ involve a continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or expedient for

 Prevent danger or threat of any disaster.  Mitigation or reduce the risk or severity or consequences of any disaster.  Capacity-building and preparedness to deal with any disaster.  Prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster.  Assessing the severity or magnitude of effects of any disaster.  Evacuation, rescue and relief.  Rehabilitation and reconstruction.

1.2. District Background

Fatehgarh Sahib District is one of the twenty two districts in the state of Punjab in North-West Republic of India, with its headquarters in the city of Fatehgarh Sahib. District of Fatehgarh Sahib came into existence on 13 April 1992, Baisakhi Day, deriving its name 'Fatehgarh Sahib' from Sahibzada Fateh Singh, the youngest son of 10th Guru Gobind Singh, who were bricked alive by the orders of Suba Sirhind, Wazir Khan in 1705, and the place is now the site a famous 'Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib.

1.2.1. Location, General Boundary and Area

Fatehgarh Sahib District is located in southeastern part of Punjab state and lies between 30º 25’ 00” to 30º 45’ 45” north latitude & 76º 04’ 30” to 76º 35’ 00” east longitude. The district is one of the smallest in the state constituted in 1992. Total area of the district is 1147 sq.km and falls under Patiala Division. Fatehgarh sahib, Amloh, Khamanon & Bassi Pathana are four teshils of the district. Gobindgarh is the only Sub Tehsil in the district. There are five development blocks namely Fatehgarh Sahib, Amloh, Khamanon, Khera & Bassi Pathana. Four major canals passing through the district are Sirhind canal, Bhakara canal (Main Line), Narwana branch and Satluj Yamuna Link (SYL) canal. Sirhind canal passes through western part of the district from North West to south east direction where as Narwana branch bifurcates from Bhakra main canal in the central part of the district and runs from North West to south east direction. Satluj Yamuna Link canal is not in operational. The irrigation is provided by distributaries and minors of Bhakra Canal only.

1.2.2. Administrative Setup – Fatehgarh Sahib is one of the districts of the Patiala Division. The total area of Fatehgarh Sahib District is 1,181 sq. Km. Administratively; the district is controlled by District Administration, Fatehgarh Sahib. The district is divided into 4 Sub- Divisions/Tehsil, 1 Sub-Tehsils, 5 development Blocks.

1.3. Topography

The topography of the District Fatehgarh Sahib is typical representative of an Alluvial plain, it owes its origin to the aggravation work of the Sutlej River. The alluvium deposited by the river has been worked over by the wind which gave rise to a number of small dunes and sand mounds. Most of these dunes have been leveled by the brave hard working agriculturists of the district. The District can be divided into the flood plains of the Sutlej and the Up land plains. Soil is rich in nutrients and suitable for crops like wheat, Paddy, Oil seeds, Sugar Cane, Potato and vegetables etc.

Availability of Minerals

The district is poor as regards mineral wealth. A few minor minerals are, however, found in the district as per following details:

Kankar:- Kankar, popularly known as Rore, occurs mainly as nodules. The soil zones containing nodular variety of Kankar range in thickness from 50 centimetres to a metre. It occurs mostly in the form of isolated beds and pockets. It can be used for white washing and road metalling. Occurrences of gravels at depth have been noticed in Bhadson, Rurki areas.

Groundwater: - Water bearing formations in the area mainly include fine to medium grained sand or sand with little admixture of clay. At shallow depth the ground water occurs under unconfined water table conditions and in deeper aquifers occurs under confined conditions. The depth to ground water table in the area ranges from 4.05 m below ground level (mbgl) in the central to 18.10 mbgl in the north eastern parts. The quality of ground water in shallow aquifers confirm to maximum permissible limits for drinking water standards except along western part where high values of fluoride (1.5 to 2.10 ppm) have been noticed and in central Fatehgarh Sahib showing high values of sodium, zinc, iron, sulphate, nitrate and chloride. The deeper waters in general are found to be suitable for irrigation and domestic purposes.

1.4. Climate

The climate of the District Fatehgarh Sahib is characterized by dryness except a brief spell of monsoon season in a very hot summer and a bracing winter. The winter season is from middle of November to the early part of March. The succeeding period up-to the end of June is the hot season. July, August and half of September constitute the south west of monsoon, the period of mid September to about the middle of November may be termed as post monsoon or transitional period. June is generally the hottest month. Hot and scorching dust laden winds blow during summer season. December & January are the coldest months. The mean daily temperature varies in the range of 5. C to 43. C.

1.4.1. Rainfall

The rainfall in the district increases from south west towards the north east. About 65% of the rainfall is received during the period July to September. The rainfall during December to March accounts for 16% of the rainfall and the remaining 14% rainfall is received in other months of the year. The average annual rainfall is 681 mm.

1.5. Objectives and Goals of the plan

As per section 31 of National DM Act, 2005, makes it is mandatory to have a disaster management plan for every district. DDMP shall include Hazards, Risk and Vulnerability Analysis (HRVA), prevention, mitigation, preparedness measures, response plan and procurers. The objectives of Disaster Management Plan as per the act are as under:-

1. To identify vulnerable areas to different types of hazards in the district Ludhiana. 2. To adopt proactive measures at district level by all the govt. departments/ boards/ local authorities to prevent and mitigate its effects. 3. To define and assign the different tasks and responsibilities to stakeholders during the pre- disaster and post disaster phases of the disaster. 4. To mainstreaming disaster management into the development planning process. 5. To enhance disaster resilience of the people by the way of capacity building and conduct trainings for effective prevention, mitigation and response for disasters. 6. Promoting a culture of prevention, preparedness and resilience at all levels through knowledge, innovation and education. 7. Reduce the loss of public and private property, especially critical facilities and infrastructure, through proper planning. 8. To set up an emergency operation centre at district level to function effectively in preparedness, search, rescue, response activities. 9. To develop the response plan based upon the guidelines issued in the State Disaster Management Plan so as to provide prompt response to disaster and relief, search and rescue support, and provide essential resources in the disaster affected areas. 10. To setup the early warning system backed by responsive and fail-safe communication with information technology support for dissemination of information to the public to deal with the disasters. 11. To adopt disaster resilient construction mechanism by the way of using Information, Education and Communication for making the community aware of the need of disaster resilient structure and habitat for ensuring safer living. 12. To promote a productive and proactive partnership with the media for disaster management. 13. Rehabilitation plan of the affected people and reconstruction measures to be taken by stake holders/ govt. departments/ boards and local authorities.

Mainstreaming of Disaster Risk Management and vulnerability reduction activities in the local level development plans and enhancing capacities of the government functionaries is one of the strategies to ensure sustenance. Administration needs to focus on operational strategy, fund provision, human resources and mainstreaming with development programs. The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) is the guide for achieving the objective mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.

Goal of DM

Convervation of Minimize losses Development to Gains

Lives Livelihood Property

1.6. Scope of plan The scope of this plan, the entities e.g. departments, boards, agencies, private sector, civil societies and citizen of district to meet enough information for all disaster phases (mitigation, preparedness, relief, response and recovery ) for effective management of any threatening disaster situation or disaster at district level. Further, the plan as specific action plans for stakeholders as well as their roles and responsibilities in disaster management phases.

1.7. Necessity of the Plan

The district Ludhiana is fast growing district and hub of hosiery industries in the state. Hazards and Risk are compounded by increasing vulnerability related to the high population growing, increasing industrialization, rapid development with high risk seismic zone ( Zone IV) and high risk flood prone zone etc. Development cannot be sustainable unless disaster mitigation is built into development process. Investments in mitigation are more cost effective than expenditure on relief and rehabilitation. Prevention and mitigation contribute to lasting improvement in safety and are essential to integrated disaster management. Disaster response alone is not sufficient as it yields only temporary results at very high cost. So emphasis must be on Disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness, which help in achieving objectivity of vulnerability reduction. Hence, there is need to have District Disaster Management Plan for guide to achieving the objective mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery and mainstreaming disaster management.

1.8. The main features of Disaster Management Plan

1. The District Disaster Management Plan will include all functions pertaining to disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, relief, recovery and rehabilitation.

2. It gives importance to all possible disasters and helps to mitigate the situation beforehand. 3. All the departments are assigned with their proper role and responsibilities, which are clearly indicated in the SOPs. 4. It shall not applicable to nuclear, biological & chemical disasters.

1.9. Concept of Operation Warning Signal Available:

In such case the Govt. of India / State Govt. has authorized agencies generating such early warning signals; in case the matter is very urgent needing action at Block/Tehsil/Village levels, the alerts and action points will go directly to all concerned. Arrangements need to be in place to ensure prompt receipt of these signals and action thereon. After such warning/advisory received by the State Govt., the SEOC will communicate it to the DEOC urgently. The DEOC will communicate such warning to the departments at the district level. The information flow in such cases will be as follows:-

State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC) (Information communicated by the Nodal Department)

District Collector District Emergency Operation Center (DEOC)

Through DEOC SDMS and All Nodal Departments at District HQ are informed

Tehsil and Block Tehsildar/BDPO/ Sarpanch / Others at Village level

Warning Signal From Top-Down Approach

Without Early Warning Signal:

When disaster occurs without any early warning in that case the information starts from the place of incident through government agency or otherwise and the institutional mechanism in such cases will be as follows:-  The concerned village will report to the Panchayat, block, police station/SDM/DM and the information will reach to the Deputy Commissioner.   DDMA will assess the information and assess the disaster to be of the level L0, L1, L2 or L3.   DEOC will be activated and if required the SEOC will be kept at alert if assistance needed; otherwise information of the incident will be passed on to SEOC.   DDMA will convene the meeting of DEOC and plan the management of the disaster as Incident Action Plan (IAP).   The respective Incident response teams will be rushed to the site for effective management. 

Without Warning – Information, generally, should flow from Bottom side – up but it is a crisscross scenario

The disaster response structure will be activated on the receipt of disaster warning or on the occurrence of the disaster by the competent authority. The occurrence of disaster may be reported by the concerned monitoring authority to the Commissioner of Relief/SDMA by the fastest means. The SDMA/SEC will activate all departments for emergency response including the State EOC, District EOC and ERCs. In addition, they will issue instructions to include the following details:  Exact quantum of resources (in terms of manpower, equipments and essential items from key departments/stakeholders) that is required.   The type of assistance to be provided.   The time limit within which assistance is needed.   Details of other Task/Response Forces through which coordination should take place.   The State EOC, ERCs and other control rooms at the State level as well as district control rooms should be activated with full strength.  CHAPTER 2

2.2. History of Disasters in the District

The insight in to the history of disasters in the district specifically and the region in general is very important. The history of disasters helps to give a direction to think upon. In nutshell, history of disasters of the district indicates about the areas, which immediately needs to be thinking about. Such as history of Fatehgarh Sahib District, clearly tells that floods and earthquake are on top priority. But it does not mean that if any disaster that does not happen in the past may not happen in future also.

2.3. Vulnerability Assessment of the District

Vulnerability is generally referred to as the inability of people, organizations, and societies to withstand adverse impacts of multiple stresses to which they are exposed. It is based on the premise that though different groups within a society may have the same level of exposure to a natural hazard, it may have a varying consequences for each of these groups, since they have diverging capacities and abilities to handle the impacts of such a hazard.

Therefore to assess vulnerability there is a need to understand the conditions that make exposure of an individual/community/region unsafe, leading to vulnerability and the causes leading to creation of these conditions. Thus vulnerability assessments would require systematic examinations of population groups, building elements, facilities, or components of the economy to identify features that are susceptible to damage from the effects of natural hazards. Keeping these in mind there are four broad areas in which different types of vulnerability have been grouped. These are shown as interacting spheres in the figure:

Factors affecting vulnerability

2.3.1. Physical Vulnerability

Physical vulnerability is determined by the aspects such as population, remoteness of a settlement, the site, design and materials used for housing and critical infrastructure.

Physical features in a community, such as insufficient basic infrastructure, especially water supply and sanitation, as well as inadequate health care facilities and supplies, are also expressions of increased vulnerability.

Physical factors to be considered for vulnerability assessment include the variables directly or indirectly related to the location and nature of the built environment. In case of natural hazards physical factors have direct impact on the structures and further define the vulnerability of the physical structures.

Social Vulnerability

Hazards are a major risk for the poor and the marginalized, who are already the most vulnerable sections in a society; the destruction of property and livelihoods furthers their downward spiral into poverty. Social vulnerability is defined as “the characteristics of a person or group and their situation that influence their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist and recovery from the impact of a natural hazard”.

Social vulnerability is linked to the level of development in terms of human development indicators and well being of individuals, communities and society.

Socioeconomic status (income, political power, prestige):- Wealth enables communities to absorb and recover from losses more quickly due to insurance, social safety nets, and entitlement programs. It affects the ability to absorb losses and enhance resilience to hazard impacts.

Population

Rural/urban

Rural residents are vulnerable due to lower incomes and more dependent on locally based resource extraction economies (e.g., farming,).on the other hand, people live in high-density areas (urban) are also prone to damage.

In Fatehgarh Sahib District, 69.13% of total population lives in rural area of villages.The total Fatehgarh Sahib District population living in rural areas is 414,649 of which males and females are 219,831 and 194,818 respectively. In rural areas of Fatehgarh Sahib District, sex ratio is 886 females per 1000 males. If child sex ratio data of Fatehgarh Sahib District is considered, figure is 841 girls per 1000 boys. Child population in the age 0-6 is 41,122 in rural areas of which males were 22,334 and females were 18,788. The child population comprises 10.16 % of total rural population of Fatehgarh Sahib District. Literacy rate in rural areas of Fatehgarh Sahib District is 78.56 % as per census data 2011. Gender wise, male and female literacy stood at 83.15 and 73.42 percent respectively. In total, 293,446 people were literate of which males and females were 164,211 and 129,235 respectively.

Total Fatehgarh Sahib Population for 2011 census, 30.87 percent lives in urban regions of district. In total 185,165 people lives in urban areas of which males are 100,772 and females are 84,393. Sex Ratio in urban region of Fatehgarh Sahib District is 837 as per 2011 census data. Similarly child sex ratio in Fatehgarh Sahib District was 846 in 2011 census. Child population (0-6) in urban region was 19,639 of which males and females were 10,638 and 9,001. This child population figure of Fatehgarh Sahib District is 10.56 % of total urban population. Average literacy rate in Fatehgarh Sahib District as per census 2011 is 84.33 % of which males and females are 87.56 % and 80.47 % literates respectively. In actual number 139,592 people are literate in urban region of which males and females are 78,925 and 60,667 respectively.

Economic Vulnerability

Economic status of households or individuals is directly related to the level of vulnerability due to natural hazards. Levels of vulnerability are highly dependent upon the economic status of individuals, communities and nations. The social deprive groups female, children, SC, and minorities are generally mar more vulnerable than economically better off segments of the society. This would reduce the capacity of this group in case of natural disaster and therefore it will increase the vulnerability and risk.

Economic vulnerability can be accessed from the occupational structure of the people of the area, which reveal the level of development of economy and the type and nature of economic activities in which people are engaged. People with good economic conditions, have enough resources to cope up with the unfavorable conditions. Agriculture is the main occupation of inhabitants of the district.

Ecological Vulnerability

The ecological dimension of vulnerability acknowledges ecosystem or environmental vulnerability or fragility. In the case of ecological vulnerability, it is important to find out how different kinds of natural environments cope with and recover from different hazards. The key aspects of ecological vulnerability could be the extent of natural resource depletion, the state of resource depletion, the state of resource degradation, loss of resilience of the ecological systems, loss of biodiversity, exposure to toxic and hazardous pollutants.

Pollution has been witnessed in the city in the form of quality of air, quality of water (both surface and underground), noise pollution, degradation of the natural resources, low vegetation cover etc. These environmental problems will soon reach a critical stage, if no immediate action is taken to address them. The intensity of the pollution in terms of air, water and noise should be evaluated in order to clearly understand the level and causes of pollution so that appropriate strategies are put in place to tackle the problem of pollution.

Air Pollution

There is minimal air pollution due to the lesser industrial activities and agricultural predominance in Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind City. The main sources of air pollution in a city are burning of LPG gas/kerosene oil in households/restaurants, vehicular movement within and around the city, operation of D G Sets in case of failure of electrical power etc. Apart from these, after harvesting, the burning of leftover of crops by farmers is also a major source of pollution in city. The air pollution due to the burning of LPG gas/kerosene oil is minimal. Apart from this there is a carcass on the G.T Road where dead animals and their remaining material are put to left in the open air after dehiding. Vultures and other animals feed on meat of these carcasses. The entire activity is a nuisance and a hazard to the public health. The stinking odor produced from this carcass adding air pollution to the local environment. One can't stand nearby this place so there is urgent need to clear/shift this activity from this place. Though, there are provision and guidelines available under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. But local urban body is not taking any appropriate action to solve/remove this problem.

Water pollution Rapidly increasing urbanization and excess use of insecticides, pesticides and weedicides has not only adversely impacted the quality of ambient air in the town but also has affected the town's water resources also.

Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind city is having the maximum water pollution problem. The main source of water pollution is sewage generation from the households. In city areas, sewage generation @ 108 liters/person/day is considered. Accordingly, Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind City generates around 65000 Kiloliters of sewage per day. The sewage is transported through sewerage lines laid throughout the city and finally all the sewerage is disposed off into Sirhind Choe, Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind. There are no sewage treatment plants installed in the city for the treatment of sewage. The Municipal Council Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind is planning to install the sewage treatment plant for the treatment of sewage generated from the city. After treatment, the sewage will not have any adverse effect on the Sirhind Choe. The regular withdrawal of underground water i.e. through tube wells for water supply is another serious problem associated with the city. Average ground water table in the area isgoing down day by day. The ground water withdrawal rate is much more than the recharge potential in Fatehgarh Sahib-Sirhind City. Considering the same, to overcome the long term impacts, rain water harvesting systems should be adopted in the city.

Ground water pollution i) Hand pumps and shallow tube wells drawing water from first aquifer are found susceptible to ground water pollution in areas close to industrial units. ii) Not only the industrial areas but also the areas having mixed land use are being adversely affected due to the presence of toxic pollutants like cyanide and hexavalentchromium in excessive proportion in the ground water. iii) Ground water available along the G.T. Road has also been found to contain large volume of polluting contents like Chrome etc. Effluents containing toxic metals from large number of electroplating units are seeping into ground water due to discharge of untreated/partially treated effluents into the ground. iv) Pollution of the soil & ground water has also been caused by the dumping of the industrial wastes (effluents and solid waste) into the open ground leading to stagnation which leads to various environmental problems. v) The use of polluted ground water for agricultural purposes has also led to the degradation of the soil and presence of heavy metals into soil and vegetable crops grown in the area.

Noise pollution

There is minimal noise pollution due to vehicular traffic, especially the trucks, buses and Carson the main roads. No other source of noise is there, except for certain occasions of social or community celebrations. As such, the effect is well within the permissible levels and is not stressful.

Key Issues for Pollution Management Following are the main issues for pollution control:  Insufficiency in periodic monitoring and assessment of ambient air quality, ambient noise level, surface and ground water characteristics at various points of industrial, residential and other sensitive zones.  Excessive exhaust from fuel-fired construction equipments and DG sets.  Excessive vehicular exhausts from traffic and transportation.  Fugitive dust generated due to shifting of construction materials (cement, sand, bricks and gravel) and from concrete preparation unit while material charging.  Long term excess withdrawal of ground water cause depletion of ground water table and local hydro geological impacts.  Higher mineralization due to long term withdrawal of ground water.  Minor importance on maintenance of traffic units, industrial units and construction equipments causing noise level above the permissible limits.

2.4. Risk Analysis of the District

Water and Climate related Disasters: - Flood and Drainage management disaster, Hail storms. Floods and Drainage management disaster: - Fatehgarh Sahib is a partially flood prone District which is prone to River, Flash and urban flooding.

Flood Hazard Map

Flood Map Of District Fatehgarh Sahib, 2010

River Flood Flooding along rivers is a natural and inevitable part of life. Some floods occur seasonally and some when winter or spring rains, fill river basins with too much water, too quickly. Four major canals passing through the district are Sirhind canal, Bhakara canal (Main Line), Narwana branch and Satluj Yamuna Link (SYL) canal. Sirhind canal passes through western part of the district from North West to south east direction where as Narwana branch bifurcates from Bhakra main canal in the central part of the district and runs from North West to south east direction. Satluj Yamuna Link canal is not in operational. The irrigation is provided by distributaries and minors of Bhakra Canal only.

Urban Flood

As land is converted from fields or woodlands to roads and parking lots, it loses its ability to absorb rainfall. Urbanization decreases the ability to absorb water 2 to 6 times over what would occur on natural terrain. During periods of urban flooding, streets can become swift moving rivers.

Flash Flood

It is defined as “a flood that rises and falls quite rapidly with little or no advance warning, usually as the result of intense rainfall over a relatively small area.” Fatehgarh Sahib District is prone to flash flood also. Flash floods can be caused by situations such as a sudden excessive rainfall, the failure of a dam.

Heat Wave

Extreme positive departures from the normal maximum temperature result in a heat wave during the summer season. As per the climatic characteristic of district, a very hot summer, during the pre-monsoon months often continues till June, in rare cases till July. Abnormally high temperatures lead to human mortality and discomfort. Warm temperate in pre-monsoon season with dry, hot and arid climate condition of the district, due to this heat waves in mid –day time often flow throughout of district that cause of casualties in during summer season. below Table gives the number of heat waves observed in Punjab during 1911-2009.

Cold Wave

Occurrences of extreme low temperature in association with incursion of dry cold winds that influenced by western disturbances. The frequencies of the occurrence of cold waves have increased due to deterioration of the air quality and climate change. District has face to casualties from cold wave and this could be due to poor level of development and lack of shelters to the outdoor workers, farmers and poor people.

Drought

The primary cause of drought is dry, hot and arid climate condition of district, prolonged dry weather condition and delay of Monsoon in this region directly hit to crops and agriculture allied sector, therefore, it’s difficult to manage for farmers to save their crops by making a heavy expenditure. District had experience of drought and some time drought like condition such years:- 1987, 2002,2004.

Chemical and industrial Disaster:

The use of chemicals has increased dramatically due to the economic development in various sectors including industry, agriculture and transport. As a consequence, people are exposed to a large number of chemicals of both natural and man-made origin. Exposure occurs through the air they breathe, the water they drink or bath in, the food they eat, and the soil they touch (or ingest as toddlers).Chemicals may have immediate, acute effects, as well as chronic effects, often resulting from long-term exposures. Chronic, low-level exposure to various chemicals may result in a number of adverse outcomes, including damage to the nervous and immune systems, impairment of reproductive function and development, cancer, and organ-specific damage. Industrial hazard may be defined as any condition produced by industries that may cause injury or death to personnel or loss of product or property.

Dust Strom

Winds are generally light in the district but it has faced Severe Dust strom which is characterized by Wind Speed ≥ 75 Kmph and horizontal visibility upto 50 metres.

Thunder, Lightening and Hailstorms

There have been occasional incidents of thunder, lightning and hailstorms resulting in damages of property, crops, livestock and human lives. Most important aspect for tacking this kind of disaster will be to ensure immediate first aid to the affected population and then to shift them to the nearest hospitals. In case of localized fire generally local people come to extend help to immediately control it. However in case of major fire, fire tenders from Municipal Corporation Patiala/ Mpl. Councils can always be requisitioned.

Geological Related Disasters:

Earthquake proneness of Punjab and Fatehgarh Sahib

Punjab lies in a fore-deep, a down warp of the Himalayan foreland, of variable depth, converted into flat plains by long-vigorous sedimentation. This is known as geosynclines. This has shown considerable amounts of flexure and dislocation at the northern end and is bounded on the north by the Himalayan Frontal Thrust. The floor of the trough is not an even plain, but shows corrugated inequalities and buried ridges (shelf faults). Much of Punjab lies in the Punjab Shelf, bounded on the east by the Delhi-Haridwar Ridge and on the south by the Delhi-Lahore Ridge. Historically very few earthquakes have occurred in Punjab. However damage from earthquakes in the region has mostly occurred during large events originating in the Himalayas. The last earthquake that directly affected Punjab was in 1905. The M7.8 Kangra earthquake caused MM VII damage in cities like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Tarn Taran, etc. Scientific publications have warned that very severe earthquakes are likely to occur anytime in the Himalayan Region, which could adversely affect the lives of several million people in India. Fatehgarh Sahib is high earthquake risk and vulnerability is evident from the fact that whole area of Fatehgarh Sahib lies in High damage Risk zone i.e., prone to shaking of MSK intensity VII and above.

Punjab Earthquake Hazard Map

A majority of the buildings constructed in District Fatehgarh Sahib, especially in suburban and rural areas, are non-engineered and built without adhering to earthquake-resistant construction principles. Most contractors and masons engaged in the construction of these buildings are also not familiar with the earthquake-resistant features specified in the building codes. Most of Buildings are modern Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) buildings, often without incorporating earthquake resistant features and without compliance to building codes and bye-laws. The critical areas of concern for the management of earthquakes in District Fatehgarh Sahib include the:  Lack of awareness among various stakeholders about the seismic risk;  Inadequate attention to structural mitigation measures in the engineering education syllabus;  Inadequate monitoring and enforcement of earthquake-resistant building codes and town planning bye-laws;  Absence of systems of licensing of engineers and masons.  Absence of earthquake-resistant features in non-engineered construction in suburban and rural areas;  Lack of formal training among professionals in earthquake-resistant construction practices; and  Lack of adequate preparedness and response capacity among various stakeholder groups. All these factors increase risk of damage due to earthquake.

Road Accidents The rapid expansion of road transport has brought with it the challenges of addressing adverse factors such as the increase in road accidents. Most deaths and injuries due to road accidents are invisible to society. They are hidden epidemic. Motor vehicles including two wheelers are growing at faster rate than the economy and population growth.

Road accident is one of the top nine reasons for deaths in our country. The problem of road safety is acute in our county. Thirteen people die every hour in road accidents in the country. India suffers from the highest number of deaths. In the year 2008, alone number of road accidents were 4.8 lakh resulting in close to 1.2 lakh deaths and 5.2 lakh injured. Many of whom are disable for rest of their lives and many of these victims are economically active young people. Road accidents due to poor road infrastructure and dangerous driving habits, growing drinking and driving habits, and failure to comply with speed limits, refusal to use proper motorcycle helmets and use child car seats, are among the main factors contributing to deaths from road crashes. The reason for this increase in traffic is that a large numbers of drivers are able to walk away with licenses without getting a proper training. Road accidents not only cause grief to the families affected but also hamper family income as well as national economy.

BIOLOGICAL DISASTER 1. Biological Hazard

Biological hazards, also known as biohazards, refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. This can include medical waste or samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can affect human health. It can also include substances harmful to animals.

The term and its associated symbol are generally used as a warning, so that those potentially exposed to the substances will know to take precautions. The biohazard symbol was developed in 1966 by Charles Baldwin, an environmental-health engineer working for the Dow Chemical Company on the containment products.

It is used in the labeling of biological materials that carry a significant health risk, including viral samples and used hypodermic needles.

The international symbol for Biological Hazard

2. Livestock in Indian Economy:

India’s livestock sector is one of the largest in the world. It has 56.7% of world’s buffaloes, 12.5% cattle, 20.4% small ruminants, 2.4% camel, 1.4% equine, 1.5% pigs and 3.1% poultry. In 2010-11, livestock generated outputs worth Rs 2075 billion (at 2004-05 prices) which comprised 4% of the GDP and 26% of the agricultural GDP. The total output worth was higher than the value of food grains. Animal husbandry is an integral component of Indian agriculture supporting livelihood of more than two-thirds of the rural population. Animals provide nutrient-rich food products, draught power, dung as organic manure and domestic fuel, hides & skin, and are a regular source of cash income for rural households. They are a natural capital, which can be easily reproduced to act as a living bank with offspring as interest, and an insurance against income shocks of crop failure and natural calamities.

Livestock has been an important source of livelihood for small farmers. They contributed about 16% to their income, more so in states like Gujarat (24.4%), Haryana (24.2%), Punjab (20.2%) and Bihar (18.7%). 2.1. Composition of Livestock Population: Punjab has 17.61 lakh cattle, 50.02 lakh buffaloes, 2.11 lakh sheep, 2.86 lakh goats and 0.25 lakh pigs (2007 livestock census, Table 1). Of the total livestock (excluding poultry), cattle and buffalo constitute 92.8 %; other species have little role to play. Up to 1997, growth in milk production was mainly due to increase in livestock numbers. Livestock population is getting stabilized now. Between 1997 and 2007, cattle population has declined by 33% while the buffaloes by 19%. The decline was mainly of males, un-productive animals and indigenous cattle. Apparently, unwanted and low producers are moving out of the production system. Average daily milk yield in Punjab in comparison to national average, both in buffalo (7.8 kg vs 4.2 kg) and crossbred cows (9.5 kg vs 6.5 kg) is much higher. Productivity potential of animals is still higher, and yield gap can be exploited through improved feeding, reproduction and breeding technologies.

Species 1997 2003 2007 % Change (1997-2007)

Cattle 26.4 20.4 17.6 -33.3

Buffalo 61.7 59.9 50.2 -19.0

3. Impact

Even a small-scale biological attack with a weapon grade agent on an urban center could cause massive morbidity and mortality, rapidly overwhelming the local medical capabilities. For example, an aerosolized release of little as 100kg of anthrax spores upwind of a metro city of a size of Washington DC has been estimated to have the potential to cause up to three millions of deaths.

3.1. Pre impact stage of warning (Early Detection):

Early warning signals

Early identification of an outbreak of disease of international public health importance shall require knowledge of early warning signals amongst all the echelons of health care providers. Some of the suggested early warning signals which must command quick investigation by professionals may include followings:

• Sudden high mortality or morbidity following acute infection with short incubation period

• Acute fever with hemorrhagic manifestations

• Acute fever with altered sensorium and malaria and JE excluded in endemic areas • Even one case of suspected plague or anthrax

• Occurrence of cases which are difficult to diagnose with available clinical and laboratory support and their non-responsive to conventional therapies

• Clustering of cases/deaths in time and space with high case fatality rate

• Unusual clinical or laboratory presentations

A comprehensive list of all the trigger events that shall attract immediate attention of local public health machinery need to be developed by a group of experts.

• By suspicion:

Management Plan should aim to identify crisis situation at a very early stage preferably confined to a limited area. This can be done only by suspecting danger of impending disaster by local health employees (at village by village health guide, at sub centre level by multipurpose worker and PHC level by doctors at PHC).

• Alertness of institution dealing with emergency health, medical services/ Confirmation by identified laboratories: - If such a situation arises, after providing symptomatic treatment at PHC level, services of well established laboratory at district or medical college level may be requisitioned to identify the organism and also to seek guidance for specific treatment and management.

• Constant surveillance and monitoring till there is no risk of any outbreak.

Disaster Stage: When disaster strikes following actions would be needed:

Public Health Control Measures: Aim of control measures, is to contain the disease initially but eliminate ultimately by following public health measures:

♦ Identification of all infected individuals based on an established case definition ♦ Eliminating or reducing source of infection (Isolation and treatment of patients)identified by epidemiological and laboratory studies

♦ Interrupting Transmission of disease: Spread of disease depend of mode of transmission which could be prevented by:

• Possibility of reducing direct contacts with patients;

• Vector control: Rodents/Mosquitoes control.

• Food control

• Environmental control: Transmitted by water/air.

• Control through sewerage system.

♦ Protecting persons at risk (Community) Immunization and Health Education plays major role in protecting person at risk.

Trigger mechanism: The trigger mechanism is an emergency quick response mechanism like ignition switch when energized spontaneously sets the vehicle of management into motion on the road of disaster mitigation process.

• System of alert and mechanism of activation of Disaster Plan.

• Immediate organization of field operation for curative and preventive medical care including immunization.

• Checking of initial information on an epidemic.

• Preliminary analysis of the situation.

• Arrangement for laboratory support.

• Emergency health services advisory committee meeting to take stock of the situation and to advise further action.

• Field investigation about:

• Safety pre-cautions

• Case finding

♦ Deputation of Quick Response Teams

• Search for source of infection and contact tracing

• Special investigation for common source of infection.

♦ Analysis of investigation data to identify type, source of outbreak and mode of transmission: • Ecological data • Clinical data • Epidemiological data • Laboratory data • Entomological data

♦ General control measures to prevent further out break: • Protective measure for contacts & Community • Control of common source of outbreak like food water or mosquito etc. • Immunization, emergency mass immunization and specific immunization, mass chemoprophylaxis.

Post disaster stage: Evaluation after disaster is most important step in disaster management in order to rectify deficiencies in the management and to record the entire operation for future guidance for which following measures are necessary:

• Evaluation of control measures • Cost effectiveness • Post-epidemic measures • Sharing of experience • System for documentation of events.

Management of Biological disaster on above principles and steps should be taken by the health authorities of the State Government with the available infrastructure.

Flood hazards and damage to Livestock Sector

Floods have become a regular annual event in Punjab, causing extensive damage to agricultural production, loss of property and livestock and loss of human life. In addition, in the aftermath of a flood, the environment, rivers and drinking water become contaminated. Animals standing in contaminated floodwater for long periods become susceptible to infections of their hooves and skin. In addition, the cuts acquired from disaster debris make animals more vulnerable to tetanus and toxins contained in the floodwater. Common animal illnesses caused by sewage-contaminated water include tetanus, hepatitis, dysentery, and food poisoning. In addition to this, pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and other organisms present in floodwater can enter the body through openings in the body. Therefore, Livestock are more vulnerable than Human beings during and aftermath of disaster like flood. The departmental service institutions like veterinary Dispensary and Livestock Aid Centres are also prone for damage due to flood.

Heat Waves Hazards Due to heat wave coupled with water scarcity, livestock are affected with heat stress. The Zoo animals also get affected by heat stress.

4. Disaster Preparedness for Livestock

Disaster preparedness is important for all animals, but it is especially important for livestock because of the size of the animals and their shelter and transportation needs. Disasters can happen anywhere and take many different forms—from hurricanes to barn fires, floods to hazardous materials spills—forcing possible evacuation. Whether you evacuate or shelter in place, it's important to be prepared to protect your livestock.

The following is a list of suggestions we recommend to help keep your livestock safe during an emergency.  Make a disaster plan to protect your property, your facilities, and your animals. Create a list of emergency telephone numbers, including those of your employees, neighbors, veterinarian, state veterinarian, poison control, local animal shelter, animal care and control, county extension service, local agricultural schools, tailoring resources, and local volunteers.

 Include a contact person outside the disaster area. Make sure all this information is written down and that everyone has a copy.

 Make sure every animal has durable and visible identification.

 Ensure that poultry have access to high areas in which to perch, if they are in a flood- prone area, as well as to food and clean water.

Make a disaster plan to protect your property, your facilities, and your animals

 Reinforce your house, barn, and outbuildings with hurricane straps and other measures. Perform regular safety checks on all utilities, buildings, and facilities on your farm.

 Use only native and deep-rooted plants and trees in landscaping (non-native plants are less durable and hardy in your climate and may become dislodged by high winds or broken by ice and snow).

 Remove all barbed wire, and consider rerouting permanent fencing so that animals may move to high ground in a flood and to low-lying areas during high winds.

 Install a hand pump and obtain enough large containers to water your animals for at least a week (municipal water supplies and wells are often contaminated during a disaster).

 Identify alternate water and power sources. A generator with a safely stored supply of fuel may be essential, especially if you have electrical equipment necessary to the well being of your animals.

 Secure or remove anything that could become blowing debris; make a habit of securing trailers, propane tanks, and other large objects. If you have boats, feed troughs, or other large containers, fill them with water before any high wind event. This prevents them from blowing around and also gives you an additional supply of water.  If you use heat lamps or other electrical machinery, make sure the wiring is safe and that any heat source is clear of flammable debris.

 Label hazardous materials and place them all in the same safe area. Provide local fire and rescue and emergency management authorities with information about the location of any hazardous materials on your property.

 Remove old buried trash—a potential source of hazardous materials during flooding that may leech into crops, feed supplies, water sources, and pasture.

 Review and update your disaster plan, supplies, and information regularly.

2. The Punjab Veterinary Council Rules 1982.

3. The Punjab Livestock Development Board Rules.

6. Action Plan for Biological Disaster Management in India

Biological Disaster could arise from a source located either inside the country or outside the country (warfare). Management of such a situation could be dealt effectively only if there is a disaster plan well integrated in the system and also there is mechanism of post disaster evaluation.

Inter-disaster stage:

This is the period between two disasters in which pre-disaster planning in terms of system development should be done.

Action plan has following elements:

One of the simplest & easy method to suspect is to take notice of a situation during which more patients with similar ailments from a particular locality start consulting health guide at village level,

(a) Constitution of a Crisis Management Structure

• Identification of Nodal Officers for Crisis Management at District, State & Central Level.

• Identification of Focal points for control of epidemic at District, State & Central Level.

• Constitution of advisory committees - Administrative and Technical

• Preparation of contingency plan including Standing Operating Procedure at District, State & Central Level.

(b) System of Surveillance.

• System of information collection at District, State & Central Level. • System of data analysis • System for flow of information from District to State and to Central Level during crisis period. • Establishment of control rooms at District, State & Central Level. c) System of Epidemiological Investigation. • System of field investigation • System of active surveillance • Arrangement for support facilities

(d) Confirmation of pathogens by laboratory set up. • System of laboratory investigation at District, State & Central Level. • Quality Control of Laboratory Practices.

(e) Training to different level workers.

7. Dos & Don’ts in a Biological War Attack

Before: • Children and older adults are particularly vulnerable to biological agents. Ensure from a doctor/the nearest hospital that all the required or suggested immunizations are up to date.

During: • In the event of a biological attack, public health officials may not immediately be able to provide information on what you should do. It will take time to determine what the illness is, how it should be treated, and who is in danger. Close the doors and windows when a biological attack is imminent.

• Watch television, listen to radio, or check the Internet for official news and information including signs and symptoms of the disease, areas in danger, if medications or vaccinations are being distributed, and where you should seek medical attention if you become ill.

• The first evidence of an attack may be when you notice symptoms of the disease caused by exposure to an agent.

• Be suspicious of any symptoms you notice, but do not assume that any illness is a result of the attack.

• Use common sense and practice good hygiene.

After:

• Pay close attention to all official warnings and instructions on how to proceed. The delivery of medical services for a biological event may be handled differently to respond to increased demand. The basic public health procedures and medical protocols for handling exposure to biological agents are the same as for any infectious disease. It is important for you to pay attention to official instructions via radio, television, and emergency alert systems.

CHAPTER-3 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR DM

3.1. Disaster Management Institutional Mechanisms Shifting from relief and response made, disaster management in India started to address the issues of early warning systems, forecasting and monitoring setup for various weather related hazards. A structure for flow of information, in the form of warning, alerts and updates about the oncoming hazards, also emerged with in framework. A multi- stake holder high power group or High Power committee report on Disaster Management for establishment of a separate institutional structure for addressing and enactment of a separate law for institutional disaster management in the country, a multi-level links between these ministries and the disaster management framework have emerged.

Disaster Management Act, 2005 Disaster Management Act provides for the effective management of disaster and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. It provides institutional mechanisms at the national, state, district and local levels for monitoring the implementation of the disaster management. The Act also ensures measures by the various wings of the Government for prevention and mitigation of disasters and prompts response to any disaster situation or these mechanisms are expected to facilitate the paradigm shift in disaster management from relief-centric approach to a proactive regime. These institutions are formed for installation of legal, financial and coordination mechanisms at the National, State, District and local levels.

3.2. Central Government In accordance with the provisions of the Disaster Management Act 2005, the Central Government will take all such measures, as it deems necessary or expedient, for disaster management and will coordinate actions of all agencies. The Central Ministries and Departments take into consideration the recommendations of the State Governments while deciding upon the various pre-disaster requirements and for deciding upon the measures for the prevention and mitigation of disasters. Central Government ensures that the Central Ministries and Departments integrate measures for the prevention and mitigation of disasters into their developmental plans and projects, make appropriate allocation of funds for pre-disaster requirements, and take necessary measures for preparedness and to effectively respond to any disaster situation. It has the power to issue directions to National Executive Committee (NEC), State Governments/State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs), State Executive Committees (SECs) or any of their officers or employees, to facilitate or assist in disaster management, and these bodies and officials will be bound to comply with such directions. The Central Government also extends cooperation and assistance to the State Governments as required by them or otherwise deemed appropriate by it. It takes measures for the deployment of the Armed Forces for disaster management if required. The role of the Armed Forces is governed by the instructions laid out in ‘Instructions on Aid to Civil Authorities, 1970’. The Central Government also facilitates coordination with the UN Agencies, other international organizations and Governments of foreign countries in the field of Disaster Management. Ministry of External Affairs, in coordination with Ministry of Home Affairs, will facilitate external coordination and cooperation. The Secretaries of the nodal Ministries and Departments of Government of India (GoI) function for specific disasters based on their core competencies or as assigned to them.

The Basic Life Line of Fire & Emergency Services are fully committed to the common public. The fire services upgraded to acquire multi- hazard rescue capability.

Role of defence forces and central armed police force in search and rescue during disaster

Need for the Armed Forces in Disaster Response  Catastrophic events cannot be handled by the civilian administration.  Response should be quick and appropriate.  Resource scarcity and lack of training.  High level of operational readiness.  Ability to work in adverse conditions.  Institutionalization of the Disaster Response system in India.

Types of Assistance

 Command and control.  Logistics Support  Transportation of Relief Material.  Setting up and running of Relief Camps.  Medical Aid.  Construction and Repair/Restoration of Roads and Bridges.

Assistance from the Armed Forces

 Establishment of temporary hospitals.  Emergency construction and repair of Roads and Bridges.  Immediate restoration and maintenance of essential services.  Evacuation of people  Diving efforts/rescuing the marooned.  Management of International relief.

Suggestions

 Armed Forces should be requested only to support immediate rescue operations.  Assistance should be requested only in such situations which are beyond the managing capabilities of the civilian Administration.  Armed Forces should not be requested to stay for longer periods of durations.  A co-coordinating officer from the services should always be a part of the Disaster Management team.  To reduce pressure on the Armed Forces, specialized battalions i.e. Disaster Response Forces should be created.  The potential of ex-servicemen available throughout the country to be effectively utilized.  Ensure optimum utilization of resources and improved operational efficiency.  Increased budget allocation for the Army to procure state of the art equipment.  DM training should be an important component of military training.  Additional budget provision for procurement of special equipment. Civil Defence

The aim of Civil Defence policy of the GoI to keep in readiness civil protection during any emergency under the Emergency Relief Organization (ERO) scheme. The legislation on Civil Defence (CD) known as Civil Defence Act was enacted in 1968 which is in force throughout the country. The Act has since been amended in 2010 to cater to the needs of disaster management so as to utilize the services of Civil Defence volunteers effectively for enhancement of public participation in disaster management related activities in the country. During times of emergencies, the CD organization has the vital role of supporting the armed forces, mobilizing the citizens and helping civil administration for saving life and property and minimizing damage. A culture of voluntary reporting to duty stations in the event of any disaster will be promoted.

Home Guard The role of Home Guards is to serve as an auxiliary to the police in the maintenance of law and order, internal security and help the community in any kind of emergency such as fire, cyclone, earthquake, epidemic etc.

NCC, NSS and NYKs Potential of these youth based organization will be optimized to support all community based initiative and DM training would be included in their programme.

CHAPTER-4

PREVENTION AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Unlike man-made disasters, natural hazards like floods, earthquakes cannot be avoided and diverted to any other place. However, with mitigation measures along with proper planning of developmental work in the risk prone area, these hazards can be prevented from turning into disasters. A better disaster management with minimum vulnerability is possible only by means of prevention, preparedness and mitigation measures. These are only possible ways to minimize the effect.

Today there is a paradigm shift in the approach to disaster management from a culture of relief and rehabilitation to that of prevention and mitigation and preparedness.

It is clear from chapter – 2, that Fatehgarh Sahib is a multi-hazard prone district. In respect to this certain majors for prevention and mitigation has been taken with respect to this district.

Prevention can be defined as an action taken to avoid an incident or stopping an incident from occurring. It basically includes deterrence operations and surveillance. Mitigation refers to measures that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or reduce the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies.

4.1. Structural Mitigation & Non Structural Mitigation Both structural and non-structural measures shall be taken as part of mitigation plan. Structural mitigation refers to any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards, which include engineering measures and construction of hazard-resistant and protective structures and infrastructure. Non-structural mitigation refers to policies, awareness, knowledge development, public commitment, information sharing which can reduce risk.

As mentioned in the NDMA Guidelines, following are the measures to be taken for prevention and mitigation purposes:-

Proper disposal of carcass during and post-disasters xv. Initiation of PPP in livestock emergency management

4.1.1. Training of Human Resources Another important factor in the mitigation process is the adequate training of human resources and thereby building the capacity of a district. A series of training programmes shall be organized for specialized groups like district level officers, sub division and community level office bearers, teachers and principals, doctors and engineers, architects and masons and builders and contractors etc.

Even the community could be trained on construction of buildings and other earth quake resistant structures through awareness, sensitization, orientation and developing skills. A basic fire fighting training is compulsory to all employees, consultants, contract personnel and catering staff in order to have a fundamental knowledge of first aid fire fighting and to respond to the fires in the incipient stage.

At the district-level, assistance will be provided by consolidating the know-how and practical training provided by SDRF, Civil Defence and NGO, District Red Cross and Self Help Groups (SHGs) and disseminating it within the communities.

The organizations like Civil Defence, NYK, NCC, NSS etc. have thousands of volunteers from every corner of the distinct. The district must train their volunteers and the wardens of these bodies in the district, thus people from various corners will be trained and sensitized in disaster management and this can make a magnifying result.

The strengthening of Civil Defence in the district is yet another important prospect. The Civil Defence and Home Guards are indeed quite a helpful resource in times of emergency. They can be given awards, identity cards, honorarium, and certificates for their work so that more number of people volunteer themselves and participate in such works.

4.1.2. Insurance Insurance brings quality consciousness in the infrastructure and a culture of safety by insisting to follow building codes, norms, guidelines, and quality materials in construction. It would enforce safety standards by bringing accountability. Hazardous area should be announced, notified and publicly displayed so that people would be motivated not to settle in those areas and insurance be mandatory in insurance prone areas. Premiums can be changed on the basis of risk proneness.

4.1.3. Retrofitting Retrofitting means reinforcement of structures to become more resistant and resilient to the forces of natural hazards. This involves consideration of changes in the mass, stiffness, damping, load path and ductility of materials as well as radical changes such as the introduction of energy absorbing dampers and base isolation systems. For example, consideration of wind loading to strengthen and minimize the wind force, or the strengthening of structures in earthquake prone areas. For an existing building, retrofitting or seismic strengthening is the only solution to make it disaster resistant. The lifeline buildings should primarily be retrofitted within the district followed by other significant buildings. Retrofitting should be carried out along with a panel of experts for assessing the structure and to suggest the type of retrofitting required.

4.1.4. Land use planning Land use planning is a newly emerging disaster reduction method. It is a powerful mitigation tool as it seeks to mitigate the risks and vulnerability from several geological and other hazards. So the logic of land use planning is compatible with disaster risk reduction because it is a systematic, future oriented, decision-oriented and proactive approach. The planning and control of land use includes a vast spectrum of general policies about it which leave determining effects and influences on programs and plans of urban development and cover economic, environmental, social and political aspects. Responsible management of the environment and its resources, and flexible and responsive development can prevent or mitigate negative impacts. The degree of effectiveness of land use planning and its efficiency in case of an earthquake from the time of the earthquake till the return of the city to its normalcy is significant and determines two indicators of vulnerability i.e. casualties and destruction. The urban areas and the cities (i.e. the more densely populated areas) need to be spatially planned in order to reduce the risks of the hazards. The most important criteria for determining appropriate locations for different urban activities and urban land use include:-

1. Compatibility 2. Comfort 3. Efficiency 4. Favorability 5. Health and 6. Safety Considering these factors in land use planning and zoning improves efficiency of the city, welfare and comfort for the citizens and minimizing the fatalities and economic damages as a result of the hazard. Land use planning can minimize risk in a number of ways such as: 1. Prohibiting development in high-risk areas through zoning and overlay controls; 2. Limiting the types of development in high to moderate risk areas for recreation or other forms of public use reducing the potential impacts of natural hazard events; and 3. Applying appropriate development controls in moderate and lower risk areas such as minimum elevations, setbacks and lot sizes, as well as maximum densities and site coverage. 4.1.5. Enforcing Existing Codes and Laws The list of codes and laws are and must be enforced in the district in order to prevent and mitigate the effects of the hazards. Bureau of India Standards, National Building Codes of India and subsequent amendments in various acts provides sufficient legal protection to the enforcing agencies for safe construction practices. The National Building Codes must be strictly followed in lifeline structures and should be immediately implemented wherever necessary. In construction work, the civil engineers have to follow Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to construct resistant structures. 4.1.6. Safe Construction Practices Hazards like earthquakes do not kill people but inadequately designed and badly constructed buildings do. Ensuring safe construction of new buildings and retrofitting of selected lifeline buildings, as given in the Earthquake Guidelines, is a critical step to be taken towards earthquake mitigation. The design and specification of houses being constructed, under the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) and other government welfare and development schemes, will also be re-examined to ensure hazard safety. Building codes will be updated every five years as a mandatory requirement and also put in the public domain. Observance of National Building Code should be made mandatory in all the State/ Municipal building bye-laws. Training of engineers, architects, small builders, construction managers and artisans has been need to be intensified at the state and district level. Safe schools and hospitals (with large capacity) and national monuments besides other critical lifeline buildings will be regarded as a national priority. Enabling provision shall be made in all the Centrally Sponsored Schemes and design the school buildings/hostels with earthquake resilient features and to equip them with appropriate fire safety measures.

4.1.7. Critical Infrastructure It is of utmost importance that critical infrastructure like roads, bridges, flyovers, railway lines, power stations, water storage towers, irrigation canals and other civic utilities are constantly monitored for safety standards in consonance with worldwide safety benchmarks and strengthened where deficient. The building standards for these infrastructures need to be aligned to the safety norms and concerned Departments/Authorities would ensure the requisite actions and measures to ensure this. 4.2. Non-Structural Mitigation

The non structural mitigation is basically framed in such a way that the whole population of the district will be sensitized on disaster management and their capacity is developed to cope up with a hazardous situation. District has specific plan for non-structural mitigation measures which is an ongoing process in various spheres of life.

4.2.1. Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Mapping

Hazard zonation, mapping and vulnerability analysis in a multi-hazard framework will be carried out utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) based database. As a first step towards addressing disaster vulnerabilities at District levels need to carry out risk and vulnerability assessment of all disaster prone areas. Hazard zonation mapping and vulnerability analysis based on GIS and remote sensing data, needs to mandatorily include a ground check component. Hazard and Consequence Mapping on GIS platforms prepared for chemical accident prone districts. Reliable, up-to-date and faster sharing of geo-spatial information acquired from the field or the affected areas is a pre-requisite for effective implementation of disaster management strategies.

4.2.2. Forecasting and Early Warning Systems It is most essential to the forecasting and early-warning for all types of disasters. All nodal agencies responsible for monitoring and carrying out surveillance, for specific natural disasters. ICT tools need to be used for data receptions, forecasting and timely dissemination.

4.2.3. Strengthening of the Emergency Operations Centre The establishment of Emergency Operations Centre at district level and equipping it with the contemporary technologies and communication facilities and their periodic upgradation, will be accorded priority. For the last mile connectivity and control of the operations at the disaster hit areas, availability of portable platforms will be catered for. The integration of Ham radios and such other innovative facilities, into the DM communication system, will be advantageous.

4.2.4. Medical Preparedness and Mass Casualty Management Medical preparedness is a crucial component for any DM Plan. DM plans for hospitals will include developing and training of medical teams and paramedics, capacity building, trauma and psycho-social care, mass casualty management and triage. District authority will be encouraged to formulate appropriate procedures for treatment of casualties by the private hospitals during the disasters. This plan will also address post-disaster disease surveillance systems, networking with hospitals, referral institutions and accessing services and facilities such as availability of ambulances and blood banks. The Accident Relief Medical Vans (ARMVs) of the Ministry of Railways, stabled at stations every 100 km, will be utilized for emergency medical response by the District authority in consultation with the Railways. There is a need to focus on creating adequate mortuary facilities. Proper and speedy disposal of the dead bodies and animal carcasses deserves due weightage.

4.2.5 Stakeholders’ Participation The participation of civil society stakeholders will be coordinated by the PDMAs and DDMA. Civil Defence, NCC, NYKS, NSS and local NGOs will be encouraged to empower the community and generate awareness through their respective institutional mechanisms. Efforts to promote voluntary involvement will be actively encouraged.

4.2.6. Community Based Disaster Preparedness During any disaster, communities are always not only the first to be affected but also the first responders. Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. Therefore, the efforts of the District/State in this regard need to be encouraged. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require special attention. Women and youth will be encouraged to participate in decision making committees and action groups for management of disasters. As first responders to any disaster, communities will be trained in the various aspects of response such as first-aid, search and rescue, management of community shelters, psycho-social counselling, distribution of relief and accessing support from government/agencies etc. Community plans will be dovetailed into the panchayat, block and district plans.

4.2.7. Sensitization/Awareness Campaigns

The District administration must reach out to the local residents and general public of the district with various level sensitization programmes. Sensitization programmes shall be conducted for schools, hospitals, colleges, communities, policy makers and all other specific sectors. Awareness on multi hazards and dos and don’ts to solve it are most import and basic for a human being to save him/herself. Disaster strikes everywhere everyone irrespective of land, caste, creed, color, people, and gender. The basic information shall be given in forms of booklets reading materials, audiovisual material etc. The broad objectives of such programmes shall be as follows: 1. To bring awareness about disasters among the inmates of all institutions and residents of all communities in district.

2. To pave way for strict enforcement of building rules in construction departments and contractors.

3. Preparation of Building Evacuation Plans and training the general public on base of IRS self defence thereby building capacities of school authorities and saving lives in the event of an Earthquake or Fire accidents or any other disaster.

4. To sensitize officers from the District Administration, Department of Education, Police, Health, Fire Service and all other parallel agencies. Different methods and techniques shall be utilized to spread awareness on disaster in the district. Some sample techniques and methods are listed below:

 Public meetings / workshop/ seminar/ training.  Wall painting in the communities.  Distribution of posters/ leaflets and other Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials to students and local people.  Observation of disaster risk management day/ week.  Street plays, documentaries and films on disaster management subject.  Use of electronic media, especially cable channels and print media.  Quiz-painting competitions, special types of books, etc for students.  Any other means the DDMA/ESFs feels apt and proper.

4.2.8. Training and Capacity Building A series of training programmes shall be organized for specialized groups like, district DMTs, sub division and community level office bearers, teachers and principals, doctors and engineers, and masons and builders and contractors etc. All walks of people shall be trained. This can even be on construction of buildings and other structures earth quake resistant.  District shall identify sensitization as one of the best tools to create awareness programme and preparation of Community Based Disaster Management planning. In this regards organize a series of programmes for the community people and NGOs.

 There are organizations like Home Guard, NYK, NCC, NSS etc, which have thousands of volunteers from each nook and corners of the distinct. The district must train their volunteers and the wardens of these bodies in the district, thus people from various corners will be trained and sensitized in disaster management and this can make a magnifying result.

 For better sustainability of disaster management, the DDMA shall think of training Civil Defence & Home Guard, NYK, NCC and NSS volunteers at the cost of the district administration and they shall be given certificate of training, identity cards as disaster managers. The DDMA can take appropriate decision for paying any honorariums for their services.  Training programmes shall be organized with SGHs, CBOs and NGOs in the district or they shall be funded for organizing such programmes. Corporate sponsors shall be contacted to hold such massive training programmes.

 4.2.9. Disaster Management Planning It is a known fact that the district Fatehgarh Sahib is natural and man-made disasters prone district. Entire district has moderate prone to Earthquake, prone to agriculture and house fire, road accidents and industrial accidents, fire and man –made disasters are major concern for the District has risen steeply in the last couple of years. The vulnerability of the district increases due to these disasters. The first responder of any disaster anywhere is none other than the local people who are the victims too. Once a disaster has been occurred, many agencies like NGOs, Military and Para Military Agencies as well as the Government Agencies approach the area. But it takes time to start rescue and relief operations by these agencies due to poor accessibility and approachability to the disaster site and ignorance to the geographical situation of the affected area. Taking all these in to stoke, the district shall organize various planning exercises with the local bodies. In district Fatehgarh Sahib, NGOs and CBOs are working in awareness programmes in the field of health and first aid. The strategy of planning shall be as follows:

1. Village level local bodies and NGOs, CBOs taken as logical units. 2. Each school have their separate disaster management plan. 3. Every Hospital with more than 10 beds shall have Disaster management plans. 4. All Cinema Halls, Clubs, religious centres etc where gatherings are possible, shall have Disaster management plans.

5. Every Government office/building/department shall have separate disaster management plans.

6. Every shopping centres and markets have their disaster management plan.

7. All industries in the district, irrespective of size and nature. The predominant objectives of the initiative shall be:

1. To create awareness on disasters and disaster management among community leaders and general public. 2. To prepare Disaster Management plan for each village with Hazard and Resource Maps. 3. To form Disaster Management Committees (DMC) and Task Forces within the village, to manage disasters and train them specifically. 4. To exercise Mock Drills in each Community in a regular interval of time including evacuation exercises. Each logical unit shall collect the template/modal plan document from the EOC at the district administration and after preparation a copy of the same shall be submitted to the EOC and the other shall be with the logical unit.

This plan document shall be updated at least bi annually and the update information shall be given to the EOC in writing. The district EOC shall help the logical unit in conducting the planning exercises as and when they request the same.

Disaster management plans prepared by all line departments in consonance with the guidelines and provisions in the DM Act, 2005. District plan and department plans prepared for their specific disaster related vulnerabilities in accordance with the guidelines issued by NDMA. New institutional mechanism may have to be built specifically in those sectors of DM where none of the existing agencies are working towards the building of required capacities.

4.2.10. Disaster Resource Inventory

In a scenario of total damage due to disasters like earthquake, all communication system disrupts and disaster managers become armless in fighting the calamity. To overcome such obstacle, Government of India has developed disaster management portals which facilitate the disaster managers and administrates to track down resource stocks in the country or at least in the neighbouring area. This Website, called www.idrn.gov.nic.in, basically intended to gather data from the government resources. Data are collected from local units and line departments and uploaded by the District Administration after verification and scrutiny. Each government department in the district shall take part in updating this portal regularly. They shall give information on fresh procurement of equipments, manpower and technologies to the Emergency Operation Centre in the prescribed format at least biannually.

4.2.11. Media Partnership The media plays a critical role in information and knowledge dissemination in all phases of DM. The versatile potential of both electronic and print media needs to be fully utilized. Effective partnership with the media will be worked out in the field of community awareness, early warning and dissemination and education regarding various disasters.

4.2.12. Insurance Insurance brings quality consciousness in the infrastructure and a culture of safety by insisting to follow building codes, norms, guidelines, and quality materials in construction. It would enforce safety standards by bringing accountability. Hazardous area should be announced, notified and publicly displayed so that people would be motivated not to settle in those areas and insurance be mandatory in insurance prone areas. Premiums can be changed on the basis of risk proneness.

CHAPTER-5

PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

Planning is the one of the key elements in the Preparedness cycle. Preparedness cycle illustrates the way the plans are continuously evaluated and improved through a cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating and taking corrective action. 5.1. Incident Response Team (IRT): As per NDMA’s IRS guidelines which prescribe Incident Response Team (IRT) at District, Sub-Division, Tehsil and Block level should be constituted under the written directives of District Magistrate (DM). These teams will include experienced officers / employees at all levels and respond to all natural and man-made disasters. The lowest administrative unit (Sub-Division, Tehsil or Block) will be the first responder as the case may be. IRT at all levels will have same structure, i.e. IC supported with Operation, Planning and Logistic sections. The IRTs are to be pre-designated at all levels. There is need of a response structure to activate the Disaster Management Plan once a disaster strikes. In Fatehgarh Sahib District the Deputy Commissioner shall be the focal point acting as a Responsible Officer for directing, supervision, and monitoring the District Disaster Management Plan. The Deputy Commissioner shall function with the assistance of the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC) to be activated to its full capacity at time of disaster and shall be the nodal center for disaster management. All information regarding disaster situations shall at once be communicated to the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC). The DEOC would work as per the EOC manual. The list of the agencies competent for issuing warning or alert is given below: Sr. Disaster Agencies No. 1 Earthquakes IMD, MERI IMD, MERI

2 Flood Meteorology Department, Irrigation Department 3 Cyclone IMD 4 Epidemics Public Health Department 6 Road accidents Police 7 Industrial and Chemical Accidents Industry, Police 8 Fires Fire Brigade, Police

Response Structure during Warning Stage: At district level, before the occurrence of disaster and immediately after the disaster, the district administration will activate the district control room so that proper information will be provided to the concerned authorities.

Incident Command System (ICS):

The Incident Command System (ICS) is a management system and an on-scene, all-risk, flexible modular system adaptable for natural as well as man-made disasters. The ICS has a number off attributes or system features. Because of these features, ICS has the flexibility and adaptability to be applied to a wide variety of incidents and events both large and small. The primary ICS management functions include:

 Command

 Operations

 Logistics

 Planning

 Finance / Administration

The ICS seeks to strengthen the existing disaster response management system by ensuring that the designated controlling/responsible authorities at different levels are backed by trained Incident Command Teams (ICTs) whose members have been trained in the different facets of disaster response management.

5.2.1 The five command functions in the Incident Command System are as follows : a). Incident Commander:

The Incident Commander is responsible for all incident activity. Although other functions may be left unfilled, there will always be an Incident Commander. b). Operations Section:

Develops tactical organization and directs all the resources to carry out the Incident Action Plan . c). Planning Section:

It is responsible for the collection, evaluation, and display of incident information, maintaining status of resources, and preparing the Incident Action Plan and incident related documentation. d). Logistics Section:

Provides resources and all other services needed to support the organization. e). Finance / Administration Section:

Monitors costs related to the incident, provides accounting, procurement, time

Recording, cost analysis, and overall fiscal guidance. Incident Command Organization Chart:

ICS Organization in Detail:

The ICS organization is built around five major functions that are applied to any incident whether it is large or small. Unified Command, which is a management method to use for multi jurisdictional and /or multi-agency events, is a major feature of ICS.

Role and Responsibilities of ICS Staff:

The following represents the major responsibilities and duties of the Incident commander. The incident commander’s responsibility is the overall management of the incident. The Incident Commander may have a deputy who may be from the same agency, or from an assisting agency. 1. Incident Commander: Major responsibilities and duties of Incident Commander:

 Assesses the situation and/or obtain a briefing from the prior Incident Commander.  Determine incident objectives and strategy.  Establish the immediate priorities.  Establish an incident command post.  Establish an appropriate organization.  Ensure planning meetings are scheduled as required.  Approve and authorize the implementation of an Incident Action Plan.  Ensure that adequate safety measures are in place.  Co-ordinate activity for all Command and General Staff.  Coordinate with key people and officials.  Approve requests for additional resources or for the release of resources.  Keep agency administrator informed of incident status.  Approve the use of students, volunteers, and auxiliary personnel.

 Authorize release of information to the news media.

 Order the demobilization of the incident when appropriate. a). Establish an Incident Command Post (ICP):

The ICP will be wherever the Incident Commander is located. As the incident grows, it is important for the Commander to establish a fixed location for the ICP and to work from that location. The ICP provides a central coordination point from which the Incident Commander, Command Staff and Planning functions will normally operate. The ICP can be any type of facility that is available and appropriate, e.g., vehicle, trailer, tent, an open area or a room in a building. The ICP may be located at the Incident Base if that facility has been established. Once established, the ICP should not be moved unless absolutely necessary. b). Establish the Immediate Priorities:

First Priority is always safety of:

 People involved in the incident

 Responders

 Other emergency workers

 By standers

Second Priority: Incident Stabilization. Stabilization is normally tied directly to incident complexity. When considering stabilizing the Incident Commander must:

 Ensure life safety

 Ensure Protection of life and property

 Stay in Command

 Manage resources efficiently and cost effectively c). Determine Incident Objectives, Strategy, and Tactical Direction: It is safe to say that all agencies employ some sequence of steps to meet incident related goals and objectives. Several different approaches have been suggested. Some of these have more steps and are more detailed than others. A suggested four phased approach is offered below: 1). Know Agency Policy: The Incident Commander may not always be an employee of the agency or jurisdiction experiencing an incident. Therefore he must be fully aware of agency policy. This includes any operating or environmental restrictions, and any limits of authority. Agencies will vary on how this policy is made known to the Incident Commander. Agency policy can affect the establishment of incident objectives. (2). Establish Incident Objectives:

Incident Objectives are statements of intent related to the overall incident. For some kinds of incidents the time to achieve the objectives is critical. The following are some single examples of Incident Objectives for several different kinds of incidents.

 Release all hostages safely with no further casualties.

 Stop any further flow of toxic material to riverbed.

 Contain fire within existing structures.

 Search all structures for casualties.

3). Develop Appropriate Strategy: Strategy describes the general method that should be used either singly or in combination that will result in achieving the incident objective. 4). Execute Tactical Direction: Tactical Direction describes what must be accomplished within the selected strategies in order to achieve the incident objectives. Tactical Direction consists of the following steps: a). Establish Tactics: Determine the tactics that are to be used appropriate to the strategy. The tactics are normally established to be conducted within an operational period. b). Assign Resources: Determine and assign the kind and type of resources appropriate for the selected tactics. c). Monitor Performance: Performance monitoring will determine if the tactics and resources selected for the various strategies are both valid and adequate. d). Monitor Scene Safety: Public safety at the scene of an incident is always the top priority. If the incident is complex, or the Incident Commander is not tactical expert in all the hazards present, a Safety Officer should be assigned. Hazardous materials incident requires the assignment of a Safety Officer. e). Establish and Monitor Incident Organization: One of the primary duties of the Incident Commander is overseeing the Management organization. The organization needs to be large enough to do the job at hand, yet resource used must be cost effective. f). Manage Planning Meetings as Required:

Planning meetings and the overall planning process are essential to achieving the incident objectives. On many incidents, the time factor does not allow prolonged planning. On the other hand, lack of planning can be more disastrous. Proactive planning is essential to consider future needs. g). Approve and Authorize the Implementation of an Incident Action Plan:

Plans can be oral or written. Written plans should be provided for multi-jurisdiction or multi- agency incidents, or when the incident will continue for more than one Operational Period. h). Approve Requests for Additional Resources or for the Release of Resources:

On small incidents, the IC will personally determine additional resources needed and order them. As the incident grows in size and complexity, the ordering responsibility for required resources will shift to the Logistics Section Chief and to the Supply Unit if those elements of the organization have been established. i). Authorize Release of Information to the News Media:

The sophistication of modern news gathering methods and equipment make it very important that all incidents have procedures in place for managing the release of information to the media, as well as responding appropriately to media inquiries. There are three important staff functions that are the responsibility of the Incident Commander unless Command Staff positions are established.

 Public Information and media relations

 Maintaining liaison with assisting and co-operating agencies

 Ensuring safety

2. Information Officer:

The information officer is responsible for developing and releasing information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and to other appropriate agencies and organizations.

Reasons for the IC to designate an Information Officer:

 An obvious high visibility or sensitive incident media demands for information may obstruct IC effectiveness.

 Media capabilities to acquire their own information are increasing.

 Reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information.

 Need to alert, warn or instruct the public

The Information Officer should consider the following when determining a location to work at the incident.

 Be separate from the Command Post, but close enough to have access to information.

 An area for media relations and press/media briefings must be established.

 Information displays and press handouts may be required.

 Tours and photo opportunities may have to be arranged.

3. Liaison Officer:

Incidents that are multi-jurisdictional, or have several agencies involved, may require the establishment of the Liaison Officer position on the Command Staff. The Liaison Officer is the contact for Agency Representatives assigned to the incident by assisting or co-operating agencies. These are personnel other than those on direct tactical assignments or those involved in an Unified Command.

Reasons for the IC to designate a Liaison Officer:

 When several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident in support of their resources.

 When the IC can no longer provide the time for individual co-ordination with each agency representative.

 When it appears that two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident will require on-site liaison.

4. Safety Officer:

The Safety Officer’s function on the Command Staff is to develop and recommend measures for assuring personnel safety, and to assess and/or anticipate hazardous and unsafe situations. Only one Safety Officer will be assigned for each incident. The Safety Officer may have assistants as necessary, and the assistants may also represent assisting agencies or jurisdictions. Safety assistants may have specific responsibilities such as air operations, hazardous materials, etc. The Safety Officer will correct unsafe situations by working through the chain of command. However, the Safety Officer may exercise emergency authority to directly stop unsafe acts if personnel are in imminent life-threatening danger.

5. District Level Incident Response

At the district level, there will be one District Headquarters Team with the primary function of assisting the District Collector in handling tasks like general coordination, distribution of relief materials, media management and the overall logistics. Suitable officers from the district administration will be carefully selected and professionally trained for the different ICS positions in order to constitute the District Level Incident Command Teams. (DICTs). The teams will focus on the operational aspects of response management, duly supported by other functions in ICS, e.g. Planning, Logistics, Finance/Administration, etc. The officers drawn for this assignment will be carefully selected by the District Collector depending upon their fitness, ability and aptitude for any of the DICT positions and they will be professionally trained to fulfill their assigned roles. Arrangements will also be made for ensuring their mobilization in a time bound manner for their deployment to the trouble spot. Due consideration for the appropriate level of seniority will be given while constituting the teams. The team personnel may be selected from the General Administration / Revenue Department which traditionally handle disaster response in our country, the option to pick up willing and capable personnel from any other department for taking up specific positions in the DICT will be left open. For some positions, a suitable number of additional personnel will be trained as reserve for taking care of contingencies like transfers, promotions, etc. For the position of the Incident commander, a suitable officer of the rank of Additional District magistrate will be preferred. The District Level Incident Command Teams will function under the overall control of the Collector / District Magistrate. The State governments can also deploy the DICTs to other districts depending upon the magnitude of the disaster.

5.2. District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC)

District Fatehgarh Sahib shall have an exclusive Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) at District Head Quarter other than the revenue control room. This shall be round the clock set up with sufficient manpower and most modern equipments. Considering the unique responsibility of the district Emergency Operation Centre, the equipments provided to it shall not be taken to any purpose other than disaster management. This centre is intended to coordinate all disaster related activities in the district starting from preparedness to rehabilitation and reconstruction. There shall be permanent sitting place for each Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) in the EOC and they shall be provided with sufficient telephone connections. Only the Nodal ESFs are to sit in the EOC and coordinate the disaster management activities in the district with their support agencies. There shall be dedicated telephone lines and other communication facilities.

The EOC, its system, and procedures are designed in such a way that information can be promptly collected, assessed and relayed to concerned parties for appropriate action. Rapid dissemination contributes to quick response and effective decision-making during emergencies. As a master coordination and control point for all counter-disaster efforts, the EOC is the place of decision-making under a unified command. The EOC would also act as nerve centre at the State and district level for coordinated disaster response, recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction and would be fully equipped with Decision Support System (DSS). a). Role of Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) in Normal Time The Deputy Commissioner of District Fatehgarh Sahib is an Administrative Officer as Officer-in-charge of EOC. He will be responsible for the effective functioning of the EOC. Responsibilities of the EOC in-charge in normal time include:  Ensure that all equipments in the EOC are in working condition;  Collection data on routine basis from line departments for disaster management  Develop status reports of preparedness and mitigation activities in the district;  Ensure appropriate implementation of District Disaster Management Plan  Maintenance of data bank with regular updating  Activate the trigger mechanism on receipt of disaster warning/occurrence of disaster

(b). Role of Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) during Disaster On the basis of the message received from the forecasting agencies, warning has to be issued for the general public and the departments, which play a vital role during emergencies. Issuing correct and timely warning would be one of the prime responsibilities of EOC. For effective dissemination of warning EOC should have a well planned line of communication. The DC shall be the competent authority to disseminate a disaster warning. The warning on occurrence of a disaster will also be communicated to:  All Emergency Support Functions  Members of DDMA  Hospitals in the disaster area  Office of Divisional Commissioner  State Relief Commissioner  Emergency Operation Centre in the neighboring districts  National/State Emergency Operation Centre  People’s representatives from the district

Apart from this the District Emergency Operation Centre must arrange desks for the Emergency Support Function in its complex for better coordination and help. Simultaneously the onsite EOCs are to be set up with the help of the district EOC. Constant communication between the State EOC, District EOC and Onsite EOC is mandatory for updates on the disaster, which happened. (c).

CHAPTER-6

CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAINING MEASURES

As per the National Disaster Management Act (2005), capacity-building includes: i. Identification of existing resources and resources to be acquired or created; ii. Acquiring or creating resources identified under sub-clause (i); iii. Organization and training of personnel and coordination of such training for effective management of disasters. The primary purpose of capacity-building in disaster management is to reduce risk and make communities safer. This can be done by increasing resilience and enhancing coping capacities. Effective capacity building at the district level requires the active participation of all those tasked with it. It must therefore include maintaining a comprehensive and up-to-date Disaster Management Resource Inventory, awareness generation, education, Research and Development (R&D) and systematic and systematized training. The Deputy Commissioner should ensure the following capacity-building activities of the entire district, and the various Heads of Departments should ensure capacity building of their respective departments. Furthermore, the Nodal Officers should, in coordination with the HODs, procure relevant equipment for disaster management activities. 6.1. Institutional Capacity-building Institutional capacity-building will be structured upon a level-system that will be designed to bring officials and professionals from multiple fields and skill-sets at the district level. The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) will utilize the abilities and expertise of representatives from following areas, structured in the form of levels on the basis of priority. Level-1 Capacity-Building A. Centre for Disaster Management, MGSIPA The Centre for Disaster Management (CDM), MGSIPA holds responsibility at the State level for conducting training programs on Disaster Management in all the districts of state. The trainings take place over three to five days and involve district officials from various departments, as per the specificities of the training being conducted. Trainings are conducted in the Institute as well as within the districts, for which officials are nominated by the District Administration. It is incumbent upon these officials to attend the trainings for which they have been nominated, and upon completion of the program, they shall receive certification from MGSIPA. The officials in charge of updating the DDMP are also responsible for keeping track of all trainings conducted and at the time of updating the plan, they are to include the names and contact details of all officials from Ludhiana district who have attended any Disaster Management related training in the past six-months. This will ensure the availability of trained human resources capable of dealing with disasters at the district level. B. DDMA / HODs The role of District Level Officials in terms of capacity-building and training is primarily that of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA). The Authority will ensure that participants from various departments are nominated for the various disaster management-related trainings conducted by CDM, MGSIPA and any other body/authority that is competent to conduct/organize trainings in the field of disaster management. The role of the DDMA will, thus, be predominantly that of coordination and monitoring. Furthermore, capacity-building at the institutional level should be done by carrying out various activities. The DDMA will also be responsible for ensuring that the Heads of Department (HODs) of the following departments discharge their responsibility of nominating officials from their departments for various disaster- management trainings pertaining to their specific areas of work. Agriculture Department The HOD must ensure: 1. Formation and training of a Weather Watch Group for the purpose of monitoring crops in the district. 2. Putting in place disaster management protocols for the hazards of drought, flood, hailstorm, etc 3. Provision of training to farmers in alternate cropping techniques and mixed cropping. 4. Formation of Rapid Damage Assessment Teams who will be capable of assessing the condition of soil, fields, irrigation systems and any other damage to crops in post- disaster situations. Animal Husbandry The HOD must ensure: 1. Formation of Rapid Damage Assessment teams capable of examining and assessing damage caused to livestock, feed and fodder, and other things within the domain of animal husbandry.

Home Guards The HOD must ensure: 1. Provision of trainings for volunteers, in Search and Rescue (SAR), First Aid, Traffic Management, Dead Body Management, Evacuation, Shelter and Camp Management, Mass Care and Crowd Management. 2. The purchase of SAR equipment through the appropriate channels of the District Administration. District Red Cross Society The HOD must ensure: 1. Provision of training for the preparation of ward-level and village level First Aid teams. 2. Ensure organization of blood donation camps on a regular basis during normal times. 3. Organize drives to recruit volunteers to help with blood donation camps and other activities. Education Department The HOD must ensure: 1. Formation and training of damage and need assessment teams within the department. 2. Provision of trainings in First Aid and basic survival skills for teachers and students in the district. 3. Education and awareness programs should be designed in such a way as to include the disaster management education in the school / college curriculum. 4. Capacity-building at the institutional level should be done by carrying out various activities under the School Safety Programme (SSP). Electricity Department The HOD must ensure: 1. The timely purchase of electric equipment necessary for maintaining a state of adequate preparedness and for speedy and efficient disaster response, through the appropriate channels of the District Administration.

Forest Department The HOD must ensure: 1. Formation and training of teams within the department, for catching wild/escaped animals that pose a threat to human safety.

Punjab Roadways/ PEPSU/ PUNBUS The HOD must ensure: 1. Provision of training to drivers, conductors and staff in First Aid and basic life saving techniques 2. Adequate stocking/replenishing of First Aid kits and maintenance of fire extinguishers in all vehicles and depots in the district. Health Department The HOD must ensure: 1. Formation and training of damage and need assessment teams within the department. 2. Provision of trainings for preparing teams of paramedics, mobile medical teams, psychological first aid teams and psycho-social care teams. 3.

Provision of trainings for health attendants and ambulance staff in First Aid and life- saving techniques. 5. Provision of training to members of local communities in health and hygiene practices. 6. Capacity-building at the institutional level should be done by carrying out various activities under the Hospital Emergency Preparedness Programme (HEPP). Irrigation Department The HOD must ensure: 1. Provision of trainings to all human resources with regard to early-warning for flood. 2. The timely purchase of early warning and communication equipment through appropriate channels of the District Administration.

Development and Panchayat Department The HOD must ensure: 1. Provision of training for formation of teams to engage with the issues of hygiene and sanitation at the village level through the Gram Panchayats. Police Department The efforts of the police go a long way in helping avoid and/or control chaos at disaster sites. They also help prevent human trafficking which is increasingly common in the aftermath of disasters these days. A training module on Disaster Preparedness and Response for Punjab Police has been prepared by CDM, MGSIPA and will need to be modified from time to time as per the requirement of district. Other training programs on disaster management that are relevant to the role of the police force are conducted by CDM, MGSIPA from time to time, and the District Administration should ensure that police personnel are deputed for such trainings. The trained police personnel should be placed on record within a district level database of persons trained in disaster management. Such trainings are thus an important aspect of capacity-building in the district. District police will also receive training specific to the role of the department from the Police Academy Punjab (PAP) in Jalandhar District. Fire Services Department Punjab Fire services operated by Municipal Corporations/ Municipal Councils. Fire Services in Ludhiana district should be made responsible for conducting fire-safety trainings and capacity building for all district officials as well as for Education institutions, housing societies and etc. from time to time. District Fire Services should also be made responsible for conducting safety audits of various government and civilian buildings in order to check whether they are compliant with fire safety norms. Furthermore, the Fire Services should conduct mock-drills for fire- fighting and evacuation procedures from time to time, following a schedule stipulated by the District disaster Management Authority (DDMA). Training programs on disaster management that are relevant to the role of the Fire Services and the District Administration should ensure that fire personnel are deputed for such trainings. The trained Fire Services personnel should be placed on record within a district-level database of persons trained in disaster management. Such trainings are thus an important aspect of capacity-building in the district.

2. Level-2 Capacity Building a. Civil Engineers (structural capacity building) There is strong evidence that appropriate engineering intervention can significantly reduce the risk of disasters. Civil engineers also play an important role in post-disaster conditions – in rescue operations, damage assessment and the retrofitting of structures. Civil engineers need to keep themselves updated about the latest research and developments in construction technology, advances in construction materials and analysis or design procedures. Civil engineers should also take support from other branches of engineering for the better planning, execution and functioning of their building and infrastructure projects. Trainings to Civil Engineers will be provided by CDM. Furthermore, at the district level, civil engineers will conduct training of masons for construction of earthquake-resistant structures. Such trainings will be facilitated by the DDMA. b. Corporates, Professionals The National Disaster Management Framework emphasizes on the “involvement of corporate sector in awareness generation and disaster preparedness and mitigation planning‟. Keeping in mind the need to mainstream disaster management concerns at multiple levels of the corporate sector, the following steps should be taken into consideration: 1. Through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporates can assist in development projects can thus help enhance the capacity at the district-level. 2. Conducting mock-drills at regular intervals to determine the efficacy of the DM plans. 3. Large-scale association with awareness generation initiatives aimed at building the knowledge, attitude and skills of the common people for a safer habitat. 4. To move away from relief centric approach to a pro-active assault on vulnerabilities through risk management measures and capacity building of industrial personnel through Business Continuity Planning (BCP), trainings and other measures. 5. Training of a core team of Structural Engineers for retrofitting of existing industrial infrastructure as per requirement. 6.2. Strengthening of District (EOC) Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) contains important equipment and certain resources such as maps and communication equipment including landline telephones, mobile phones, satellite phones, walkie-talkie, ham radio, computer/ laptop with printer facility, email facility, fax machine, television, etc. In addition, it will also contain, LCD monitors, printers, videoconferencing equipment, power sources and backups, copies of plans, etc. It is crucial to strengthen the district-level EOC. This can be done by ensuring regular training of all staff meant to be present in the EOC. 6.3. Capacity-building at the Community Level Capacity-building at the community level includes awareness, sensitization, orientation and developing skills of communities and community leaders. At the district-level, assistance will be provided by consolidating the know-how and practical training provided by NDRF, Civil Defence and NGO, District Red Cross and Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and disseminating it within the communities. Multiple responsibilities within the arena of capacity-building and training will be delegated to local authorities, PRIs and ULBs under the overall guidance of District authorities. It is also crucial to focus on imparting training, cultivating community awareness and ensuring skill-development among members of the community. Furthermore, capacity-building at the community level should be done on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. This can be done by ensuring identification of local resources and developing local infrastructure through PPP. Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Village Contingency Planning (VCP) is also critical for capacity building at the community-level and will be managed by the concerned departments in the district. 6.4. Development of IEC Material Addressing the specific requirements of vulnerable regions and the risk mitigation and preparedness needs of identified communities, various IEC material like list of do’s and don’ts, posters, leaflets, banners, training modules and audio visual material must be prepared using capacity building funds of the state. The aim is to develop a large body of advocacy and awareness materials, especially in vernacular languages, targeting vulnerable groups such as women, children, elderly, Physical disables, and marginalized and excluded groups. 6.5. Sensitization/Awareness Campaigns

The District administration must reach out to the local residents and general public of the district with various level sensitization programmes. Sensitization programmes shall be conducted for schools, hospitals, colleges, communities, policy makers and all other specific sectors. Awareness on multi hazards and dos and don’ts to solve it are most import and basic for a human being to save him/herself.

RESPONSE AND RELIEF MEASURES

7.1. Declaration of Disaster Deputy Commissioner, Fatehgarh Sahib as the ex-officio chairperson of DDMA, he is responsible for declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the resources are sufficient or not. If the situation is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster shall be declared. Declaration can be on the basis of level of disasters (L0, L1, L2 and L3) in affected area as per the NDMA guidelines. L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring, documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the State shall be put in place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out during this time. L1 specifies disasters that can be managed at the district level, however, the state and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Level of disaster should be based on rapid damage and need assessment reports (Annexure 1, 2, and 3). Important elements for Declaration 1. Declaration of Disaster – Chairman of DDMA, Fatehgarh Sahib. 2. Situation shall be discussed among DDMA members and HODs of various/ Line departments. 3. DDMA has full authority to declare disaster and issue orders to carry out necessary actions like activation of IRS and resource mobilization to protect people, environment and resources in the affected district. 4. DDMA shall notify Punjab Disaster Management Authority when a disaster is declared and forward constant updates on the situation.

7.2. Implementation of DDMP DDMA shall ensure implementation of District Disaster Management Plan for activation of IRS, roles and responsibilities, emergency support functions and DDMRI for resource mobilization.

Activation of IRS On declaration of disaster, DDMA shall activate IRS at district level. Deputy Commissioner, as responsible officer will activate various sections, branches, divisions, units and other facilities as and when required. Various roles and responsibilities under IRS are discussed in Incident response plan of the district. Establish and activate Incident Command Post The ICP is the location at which primary command functions are performed. IC will be located at ICP, and there would be only one ICP. This also applies to situations with multi agencies or multi- jurisdiction under unified command. ICP may be located at the headquarters. In case total destruction or lack of space it can be in a tent or a vehicle as well. Establish Staging Area Staging area is an area where mobilized resources are collected and accounted for field operations. These may include food, vehicles, equipments and other materials. It should be located at suitable site near the affected area for immediate, effective and quick deployment of resources. Establish Incident Base All primary services and support activities are usually located and perform at the incident base; the logistics section is preferable located here. Coordination There should be proper liaison and coordination amongst these stakeholders involved in the comprehensive disaster management for ensuring the implementation of the components involved in the DDMP. It is the responsibility to liaison with concerned line departments, agencies, NGO’s, INGO’s, CBO’s etc. and their representatives at various locations, keeping IC informed about arrivals of all the Government and Non- Government agencies and their resources and organize briefing sessions of all Governmental and Non-Governmental agencies with the IC. This coordination will involve facilitating response by addressing special needs of services like sign language interpreters or language translators for communication and other needs. Liaison officer will also be responsible for management of all the VIPs and VVIPs visiting the affected area and coordinate with police to ensure their safety and security without affecting response and relief work.

7.3. Disaster Reporting Importance of disaster reporting is an important aspect to maintain clear communication between different levels of administration. This helps people responsible to understand situation precisely and respond effectively and efficiently. This involves documentation of situation and photographs as well. Rapid assessment report Rapid damage and need assessment team will produce a report describing the magnitude of disaster with respect to life loss, property loss and other urgent needs of the affected areas. This assessment provides a base for planning response activities. This report should further be communicated to PDMA. Preliminary assessment report This will give an account of disaster in first 24 hours. With some basic needs and damages. Detail assessment report This report highlights severity of disaster and provides detailed information on damage and needs of the affected area. It is prepared by damage and need assessment team and is based on reports from departments and specialists in health, irrigation, public health infrastructure etc. It gives a clear picture to district administration for proper resource mobilization and external help and forms the basis of relief and rehabilitation activities. It should be prepared within 72 hours of disaster and forwarded to PSDMA. Interim Report Based on earlier reports, interim reports provide additional and more precise information, and are to be submitted every 24 hours to DDMA. This time may vary depending upon the recipient and activities involved and this should be forwarded to PSDMA. As time goes by, the emphasis of interim reports will shift from the needs for relief to the needs for rehabilitation and reconstruction (e.g. Repairs to damaged structures, restoration of agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and industrial production). It is not necessary to repeat what has already been said in earlier reports unless the earlier details require updating. Interim reports should provide forecasts (with inputs from specialists and people who have experience of previous disasters) and highlight information which may not otherwise be obvious to the recipient’s e.g. potential problems, changes, patterns, trends and indicators, essential component to vulnerable group etc.

Withdrawal of Declaration of Disaster This would be about normalization and withdrawal of special orders which were given to bring situation under control.

CHAPTER-8 RECONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY MEASURES

Rehabilitation and reconstruction comes under recovery phase immediately after relief and rescue operation of the disaster. This post disaster phase continues until the life of the affected people comes to normal. This phase mainly covers damage assessment, disposal of debris, disbursement of assistance for houses, formulation of assistance packages, monitoring and review, cases of non-starters, rejected cases, non-occupancy of houses, relocation, town planning and development plans, awareness and capacity building, housing insurance, grievance re-dressal and social rehabilitation etc. Recovery encompasses both short-term and long-term efforts for the rebuilding and revitalization of affected communities. Recovery planning must provide for a near-seamless transition from response activities to short-term recovery operations—including restoration of interrupted utility services, reestablishment of transportation routes and the provision of food and shelter to displaced persons. Planners should design long-term recovery plans to maximize results through the efficient use of resources and incorporate national recovery doctrine. 8.1. Post Disaster Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Post disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation should pay attention to the following activities for speedy recovery in disaster hit areas. The contribution of both government as well as affected people is significant to deal with all the issues properly.  Damage assessment  Disposal of debris  Disbursement of assistance for houses  Formulation of assistance packages  Monitoring and review  Cases of non-starters, rejected cases, non-occupancy of houses  Relocation  Town planning and development plans  Reconstruction as Housing Replacement Policy  Awareness and capacity building  Housing insurance  Grievance redressal 8.2. Administrative Relief The district is the primary level with requisite resources to respond to any natural calamity, through the issue of essential commodities, group assistance to the affected people, damage assessment and administrating appropriate rehabilitation and restoration measures. The district level relief committee consisting of official and non-official members including the local legislators and the members of parliament review the relief measures. A district is sub-divided into sub-divisions and tehsils .The head of a sub-division is called the Sub-Division Officer (SDO) while the head of a Tehsil is known as a Tehsildar. When a disaster is apprehended, the entire machinery of the district, including the officers of technical and other departments, swings into action and maintains almost continuous contact with each village in the disaster threatened area. 8.3. Reconstruction of Houses Damaged / Destroyed Houses should be reconstructed in the disaster hit areas according to the following instructions:

Owner Driven Reconstruction

 Public Private Partnership Program (PPPP)  Under the PPPP the houses are reconstructed by the NGOs for the beneficiaries to be registered in the joint names of the husband and wife.  All the houses should be insured.  Owner Driven Reconstruction  Financial, technical and material assistance provided by the government.  The designs for seismic reconstruction of houses provided by the government.  The material assistance provided through material banks at subsidized rates.  Design of 20 model houses provided to the public to choose from with an option to have one’s own design. 8.4. Military Assistance: If the district administration feels that the situation is beyond its control then immediate military assistance could be sought for carrying out the relief operations. 8.5. Medical Care:

Specialized Medical Care may be required to help the affected population. Preventive medicine may have to be taken to prevent outbreak of diseases. CHAPTER-9 FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP District Disaster Response Funds and District Disaster Mitigation Funds are proposed to be created at the District Level as mandated by Section 48 of the DM Act. The disaster response funds at the district level would be used by the DDMA towards meeting expenses for emergency response, relief, rehabilitation in accordance with the guidelines and norms laid down by the Government of India and the State Government. Disaster plan is also useful at pre-disaster stage, when warnings could be issued. It also proves as a 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 the authorities.

An annual conference for DDMP update will be organized by the District Deputy Commissioner. All concerned line departments, agencies and NGO's would participate and give recommendations on specific issues.

The new plan is handy and precise. It is so designed that it will definitely help the officials to take quick actions during the disaster. 9.1. Budget and other financial allocations

According to ACT No. 53 of 2005 – the Disaster Management Act, 2005, Chapter IX, Finance, Account and Audit there are some instruction for providing financial assistance for DDMP (District Disaster Management Plan)

48-Establishment of funds by the State Government. The State Government shall immediately after notifications issued for constituting the State Authority and the District Authorities, establish for the purposes of this Act the following funds, namely :-  The fund to be called the District Disaster Response Fund;  The fund to be called the District Disaster Mitigation Fund;

50 – Emergency procurement and accounting Where by reason of any threatening disaster situation or disaster, the National Authority or the District Authority is satisfied that immediate procurement of provisions or materials or the immediate application of resources are necessary for rescue or relief:-  It may authorize the concerned department or authority to make the emergency procurement and in such case, the standard procedure requiring inviting of tenders shall be deemed to be waived.  A certificate about utilization of provisions or materials by the controlling officer authorized by the National Authority, State Authority or District Authority, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be a valid document or voucher for the purpose of accounting of emergency, procurement of such provisions or materials. 9.2. Linking with the development plans.

Disaster management is no more confined to revenue department. It is a subject of all the departments. The following activities have been considered in mainstreaming it into development activities.

 The Disaster Management has been included in school curriculum at CBSE level.  The Disaster Management is also made compulsory to NSS / NCC students at college level. So that during disasters they can be called upon for certain help.  Various Disaster Management courses have been offered in different institutions, colleges, universities taking its significance into account.  In construction work the civil engineers have to follow Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Building Laws to construct resistant structures.  Special budget at district, taluka and village level should be allocated for training of various teams against disaster, purchasing of equipments to save the life and property of the people, organizing mock drills to create awareness among the people, updating the disaster management plans, etc.  Government officers, staff are also trained under disaster management, so that their skill will be helpful at the time of disaster.  Earthquake resistant principle may be followed in lifeline structures, all buildings may be insured by bank, private companies. Insurance should be done at each level. i) Fund allocation should be made by Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti and Gram Panchayat to carry out the following DRM activities:- ii) To train Search and Rescue, First Aid groups iii) To create awareness among the people. iv) To procure search and rescue materials. v) To evacuate and set up temporary shelter for disaster victim.

CHAPTER-10 PROCEDURE AND METHODOLOGY FOR MONITORING, EVALUATION, UPDATION AND MAINTENANCE OF DDMP The existence of a Disaster-preparedness plan plays a vital role during Disasters. The officials then have at their hand, a complete set of instructions which they can follow and also issue directions to their subordinates and the affected people. This has the effect of not only speeding up the rescue and relief operations, but also boosting the morale of affected people. Disaster plan is also useful at pre-disaster stage, when warnings could be issued. It also proves as a 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 the authorities. Keeping all these points in mind the DDMP must be evaluated and updated by the district administration in normal time. Evaluating the effectiveness of plans involves a combination of training events, exercises etc. to determine whether the goals, objectives, decisions, actions and timing outlined in the plan will result in an effective response. Indicative guidelines for monitoring and evaluation of the plan are as given below: Keeping all these points in mind the DDMP must be evaluated and updated by the district administration in normal time.

10.1. Plan Evaluation : The purpose of evaluation of DDMP is to determine
