Disaster can be defined as in occurrence, due to natural causes or otherwise, which results in large- scale deaths or imminent possibility of deaths and extensive material damage. In magnitude and intensity it ranks higher than an accident and requires special measures of mitigation, which is beyond the capabilities of the existing fire, rescue and relief services. Risk is defined as a measure of the expected losses due to a hazard event of a particular magnitude occurring in a given area over a specific time period. The level of risk depends upon: The nature of the hazard. The vulnerability of the elements, which it affects. And the economic value of those elements. Risk Assessment means the quantitative evaluation of the likelihood of undesired events and the likelihood of harm of damage being caused by them, together with the value judgments made concerning the significance of the results. Risk Analysis means the identification of undesired events that lead to the materialization of a hazard, the analysis of the mechanisms by which these undesired events could occur and, usually, the estimation of the extent, magnitude, and likelihood of any harmful effects. Risk Management means the program that embraces all administrative and operational programs that are designed to reduce the risk of emergencies. Vulnerability of an area is determined by the capacity or its social, physical and economic structures to withstand and respond to hazard events. Preparedness. Those activities which governments, organizations, communities and individuals develop to minimize loss of life and damage and to organize and facilitate timely and effective rescue, relief and rehabilitation in case of disaster. Preventive Action may be described as measures designed to prevent natural phenomena from causing or resulting in disaster or other related emergency situations, it involves the formulation and implementation of long - range policies and programs to prevent or eliminate the occurrence of disasters. Mitigation, The concept of mitigation spans the broad spectrum of disaster prevention and preparedness. Mitigation means reducing the actual or probable effects of extreme disaster on man and his environment. Response is the first phase, which occurs after the onset of an emergency and is intended to provide emergency assistance for disaster effects and casualties. This includes search, rescue, shelter, medical care, and other efforts to reduce the probability or exteof secondarydamage. 2 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Rationale/Justification for DDMP Disaster causes sudden disruption to normal life of a society and causes damages to property and lives to such an extent that normal social and economic mechanisms in the society get disrupted and community will not be able to cope up with the situation without external aid. In most of the cases, response to disasters is arbitrary leading to overemphasis of some actions and absence of other actions which could be critical. The objectives of any disaster management plan should be to localize a disaster and to the maximum extent possible contain it so as to minimize the impact on life, the environment and property. A formal plan for managing disasters is therefore necessary. This would include: a. Pre-planning a proper sequence of response actions. b. Allocation of responsibilities to the participating agencies. c. Developing codes and standard operating procedures for various departments and relief agencies involved. d. Inventory of existing facilities and resources. e. Mechanisms for effective management of resources. f. Co-ordination of all relief activities including those of NGOs to ensure a coordinated and effective response. g. Co-ordination with the State response machinery for appropriate support. h. Monitoring and evaluation of actions taken during relief and rehabilitation. The district plan contains the objective of the plan, profile of the district, resource inventory equipment and human resource, preparedness and mitigation strategy and the standard operating procedures for the District Disaster Management Committee and the Disaster Management Plan. 1.2 Aims There is need for a comprehensive Disaster Management Plan for the district authorities to manage disasters in the district, and to play a supportive and coordinating role was realized in the wake of the frequent floods, droughts and various industrial and manmade disasters. For a long time now, Kolar district has been experiencing losses and damages due to various natural and manmade disasters such as drought, flood, cyclones, epidemic, pest attack etc. The risks due to these hazards are increasing every year. Although, the district has been taking care of relief and response operations during disasters, greater attention is required for preparedness, mitigation and reconstruction. A comprehensive district plan was required to guide district administrations, line departments and all the agencies and industrial establishments and the community at large to ensure that the management plans for preparedness, mitigation, response and reconstruction are in place so that the impact due to any emergency or disaster situation is minimum and be able to facilitate faster recovery. The District Disaster Management Plan is intended to serve as an effective guide book to help the district administration better prepared for disasters to safeguard the lives, livelihoods and property. 3 The vision of the plan is fail proof communication, authentic and accurate data base documented, rehearsed to be activated in the shortest possible time with minimum simple orders and procedures ensuring participation by administration, communities, industries, private/NGOs, Volunteers at all levels, making optimal utilization of human and material resources with no gaps or no overlaps to prevent/minimize loss to lives and property and faster restoration of normal life in the affected areas. 1.3 Objectives Section 31 of Disaster Management Act 2005 (DM Act), makes it mandatory to have a disaster management plan for every district. DDMP shall include Hazard Vulnerability Capacity and Risk Assessment (HVCRA), prevention, mitigation, preparedness measures, response plan and procedures. An indicative list with possible plan objectives is given below: 1. To prevent loss of human life and property damage 2. To study, analyze and evaluate the disasters 3. To identify the vulnerable locations and do the vulnerability and risk analysis 4. To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available 5. To recommend appropriate strategies and responses to deal with future disasters 6. To plan and implement Risk Reduction Activities in the district. 7. To have effective disaster preparedness, and effective emergency response for saving of lives. 8. To enable faster recovery through comprehensive reconstruction and rehabilitation. 9. To conduct trainings and capacity building for effective prevention, mitigation and response for disasters. 10. To undertake information, education and communication activities to create awareness among the communities and the general public. 11. To improve preparedness at the district level, through risk and vulnerability analysis , to disasters and to minimise the impact of disasters in terms of human, physical and material loss. 12. To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available with the various agencies involved in the management of disasters in the district and make it an exercise in capability building of district administration. This enables the district to face a disaster in a more effective way and builds confidence across different segments of society. It will be a positive factor for long term development of the district. 13. To utilise different aspects of disaster mitigation for development planning as a tool for location and area specific planning for development in the district. 14. To use scientific and technological advances in Remote Sensing, GIS etc. in preparation of this plan with a view to ensure their continuous use for development planning. 15. To develop a framework for proper documentation of future disasters in the district, to have an update on critical information essential to a plan, to critically analyse and appraise responses and to recommend appropriate strategies. 16. To evolve DDMP as an effective managerial tool within the overall policy framework of Government of Karnataka. 4 1.4 Role of District Administration and organizations The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), headed by the District Commissioner, with the elected president of the local authority (ZP) as the Co-Chairperson shall
