Satara district is also prone to disasters, so hence, we can categorize Satara as a multi-hazard prone zone or district. It has been affected by almost every kind of hazards, like earthquakes, floods, drought, landslides, lightening, road accidents, crowd incidents and so on. In order to be prepared and resilient from all these disasters, a Disaster Management Plan for the district is a necessity. The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) plays a major role in emergency management. It has been part of a multi-level development promoted by the Maharashtra Disaster Risk Reduction Programme, which is a good initiative taken by the Government of Maharashtra. The Satara District Disaster Management Plan has been prepared to facilitate the district administration for an effectual response at the time of disaster occurrence, including positive pre-disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness measures. The plan has been prepared as per the model framework for DDMP, set by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The plan includes important information and the function of various departments in field of disaster management. The plan is an inclusive document, and each chapters presented in the plan has its own value. For the preparation of the plan, every stakeholders like Revenue Department, Police Department, Health Department etc, has collectively supported and made provisions for delivering their inputs to build the plan. I hope this document will serve its purpose and prove useful to all the departments, industrial firms and even the people within the district of Satara. I, therefore express my special gratitude and thanks to everyone who worked, in preparing this plan. Smt. Shweta Singhal (IAS) Collector / Chairperson, DDMA Satara. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 – Introduction ........................................................................................................ 15 1.1 Background .................................................................................................................... 15 1.2 Need For Disaster Management .................................................................................... 15 1.3 Important Definitions ..................................................................................................... 16 1.3.1 Hazard ..................................................................................................................... 16 1.3.2 Disaster .................................................................................................................... 17 1.3.3 Floods ...................................................................................................................... 18 1.3.4 Drought .................................................................................................................... 18 1.3.5 Landslide ................................................................................................................. 18 1.3.7 Earthquake............................................................................................................... 19 1.3.9 Road Accident .......................................................................................................... 19 1.3.10 Rail Accident.......................................................................................................... 19 1.3.11 Fire Accident ......................................................................................................... 19 1.4 District Profile................................................................................................................ 20 1.4.1 Historical Background ............................................................................................ 24 1.4.2 Socio-Economic Fabric ........................................................................................... 25 1.4.3 Demographics .......................................................................................................... 26 1.4.4 Religion And Culture ............................................................................................... 27 1.4.5 Relief ........................................................................................................................ 28 1.4.6 Geology .................................................................................................................... 28 1.4.7 Climatic Condition .................................................................................................. 29 1.4.8 Rainfall .................................................................................................................... 29 1.4.8 River System And Dams ........................................................................................... 30 1.4.9 State Transport ........................................................................................................ 34 1.4.10 Land Specifications................................................................................................ 36 1.4.11 Available Health Infrastructure............................................................................. 38 1.4.12 Industrial Profile ................................................................................................... 43 1.4.13 Education ............................................................................................................... 46 1.4.14 Heritage Site And Major Religious Spots .............................................................. 46 1.3.16 List Of Mass Gathering ......................................................................................... 48 3 Chapter 2 -
