DISASTER MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

The DM Act 2005 uses the following definition for disaster:

“Disaster” means a catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from 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.” The UNISDR defines disaster risk management as the systematic process of using administrative decisions, organization, operational skills and capacities to implement policies, strategies and coping capacities of the society and communities to lessen the impacts of natural hazards and related environmental and technological disasters. This comprises of all forms of activities, including structural and non-structural measures to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) adverse effects of hazards.

DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN - OVERVIEW AND GOALS

District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP):

The District Disaster Management Plan, which is a dynamic document consists of the past experiences of the disaster that were managed by the district and also consists of the current year scenario, is prepared to device a set of guidelines for district level disaster preparedness, Prevention, Mitigation and Monitor. Every Line department in the district is preparing its own Disaster Management Plan. DDMP are drawn up under the supervision of the District

Collector in coordination with all concerned departments and the Emergency support functions of various departments are listed out in the plan and inventory of resources in the Local Bodies are listed out and all of this have been converged into the District plan. While the DDMP forms the frameworks for the entire District, it will be fine tuned further by requirements of individual Vulnerable Areas and emergency situations.

The District Disaster Management Authority will plan for long- term preventive measures to relieve and rescue the General public from the menace of disaster. The disasters have so far caused many damages such as human loss, cattle loss and poultry loss and also affected the houses and crops. Precautionary steps are to be taken to mitigate the impact of disaster like cyclone, flood, drought, Land slide, Earthquake and heat waves in future.

Aim of District Disaster Management Plan:

The DDMP is mainly focused as follows

❖ Identification of the vulnerability of different parts of the District to different types of disasters. ❖ Strategies to be adopted for prevention and mitigation of disasters. ❖ Responsibilities of the community, NGOs and other Non governmental institutions in different phases of managing a disaster. They should plan and act for pre-disaster, during disaster and post disaster phases by coordinating with the line departments. ❖ Role of each department in preparation and proper response will manage a disaster effectively. ❖ All sorts of mitigation measures shall be planned and executed.

The Disaster Management plan shall be categorized as four phases such as Non Disaster, Pre-Disaster, During Disaster and Post Disaster and the type of measures to be taken at each phase are shall be as follows:-

Non-Disaster:

In this phase, type of vulnerability should be identified by enquiring about the past experience from the residents of the locality. Cleaning and repairing works in evacuation shelters and community halls shall be carried out. Teams consisting of Government officials and First Responders are to be formed for evacuation rescue and relief activities. Pre-Disaster:

This phase is the preparedness phase. All the line departments shall be in ready position with all the manpower and materials to mitigate the effect of disaster. The general public shall be given training to safeguard their lives and assets. Pre-arrangements for shelter, food materials, cooking vessels, protected drinking water and medical facilities shall be made. During Disaster:

The minimum time management to evacuate the general public and live stock to safe shelters and fast response in search and rescue operations shall be planned. Providing of food materials, protected drinking water, medicines and basic minimum facilities immediately after occurrence of disaster should be ensured to the affected population. Post Disaster:

During Post Disaster period, medical department has to take efforts to prevent diseases caused by disaster. Veterinary doctors have to take care of cattle and poultry. Other departments have to restore

5 normalcy by mobilizing all man power and machineries. Long term measures shall be prepared for rehabilitation and to mitigate disasters in future. Damages are to be accessed and relief assistance are to be given by getting funds from the Government.

Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM):

Community based disaster management has emerged as a key priority in disaster management which has immense importance to prevention, preparedness, mitigation and response.

CBDM brings together the multitude of community stakeholders for disaster risk reduction; enables expansion of resource base. Linking up communities that are most vulnerable with key systems such as early warning mechanisms, resource mobilization etc.,

Adopting CBDM approach in managing disasters contribute to people’s empowerment by way of physical safety; guaranteed access and more on resources; promotes community’s participation in decision making related to risk reduction.

Community-Based Disaster Management (CBDM) – Approaches:

Creating awareness in the community about different types of injuries, illnesses and other health problems that could be caused by different hazards and indicating basic type of preventive and preparedness actions to minimize injuries, illnesses and death. Promoting personal hygiene practices and the use of safe drinking water along with washing hands with soap and water are important preventive actions for reducing diarrhea. Stockpile of Halogen tablets, ORS and basic medicines at appropriate points in the village shall be kept during the entire flood season. Training health workers and task force members in the community in providing first-aid to the injured and resuscitation measures for cases of drowning or injuries.

Disasters could, individually or in combination, cause a grave emergency condition in any area of the district. It can vary in scope and intensity, from a small local incident with minimal damage to a multi-district disaster with extensive devastation and loss of life. The actions of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, and response and recovery operations are conducted by the District Administration. Local authorities will exhaust their resources, and then use resources of other support agencies, volunteer groups, the private sector, and/or neighboring districts.

State assistance will supplement District administration efforts and central assistance will supplement State and District Administration, when it is clearly demonstrated that it is beyond local and State capability to cope with the disaster situation.

Concept of Operations:

The Disaster Management Plan is based on the premise that the Emergency Support Functions (ESF) performed by the various agencies and organizations during emergency operations generally parallels their normal day-to-day functions. The same personnel and material resources will be employed in both cases. Day-to-day tasks and operations that do not contribute directly to the emergency may be suspended or redirected for the duration of any emergency or disaster, and efforts that would normally be assigned to those tasks will be channeled toward emergency and disaster ESF as assigned.

Disaster Management Cycle:

Disaster management is a cycle in which relief is just a fetter for better development. But at the same time it is to be remembered that none of these steps in disaster management cycle are watertight compartments. If disasters have been handled professionally with the

7 perspective of a long term development and sustainability, the quantity of relief required could be halved drastically.

CHAPTER - ii hazard, vulnerability and risk assessement

Hazard, Vulnerability and Risk Assesement:-

Risk Identification & Assessment:

A systems based approach gives due emphasis on risk identification and assessment of the system as a whole, which is a pre-requisite for any significant intervention for prevention, mitigation, preparedness and response etc. The District is vulnerable to both natural and man-made hazards of different types with varying intensity.

Flood Vulnerability: Salem district is subjected to seasonal flooding, including urban floods, floods due to cloudbursts, monsoon floods of single and multiple events, cyclonic floods and excessive water release due to over flow in mettur dam. There are few number of people affected, some succumbing to the floods, hut damages and few hectares of crops are damaged.

Heat Wave Vulnerability: A Heat Wave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, more than the normal maximum temperature that occurs during the (Hot weather) summer season. Heat Waves typically occur between March and June. The extreme temperatures and resultant atmospheric conditions adversely affect people living in these regions as they cause physiological stress, sometimes resulting in death. Salem has recorded temperature above 40 degrees in past. Seismicity Vulnerability: Salem district is situated in the moderate seismic risk zone of zone III category and has witnessed few earth quakes in the past. The last one was on 22.7.2018 whch recorded a magnitude of 3.3 Richter scale.Salem district has one seismological observatory in Collectorate premises with latest recording facilities.

Landslide Vulnerability: Landslide is one of the major natural hazards that is commonly experienced in hilly terrains. Salem district comprises the shevoraoys hills which experiences few small scale landslide incidents during rainy season in yercaud hills. Forest Fire: Forest Fire is a recurring phenomena in the State leading to disastrous proportions during the decade 2006-2015, Salem district has 27.41 % of forest cover covering 1435 sq km. Few forest fire cases were reported during summer seasons which were put off by immediate actions.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN):

Salem district has few chemical industries like chemplast in mettur taluk which stores chemical for their operations. These industries conduct regular mock drills involving community and ensure safety norms.

Hazard Vulnerability Risk Analysis: Flood

The Government of Tamil Nadu has initiated number of studies to assess the Hazard and Vulnerability Risk Analysis of (HVRA) various disasters. The categorization for flood is as follows. Areas of Very a. Where inundation of water was more than 5 High Vulnerability: feet, or b. Where rescue operations were carried out with the help of Central forces/State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), or c. Which were cut-off and became inaccessible, or d. Where loss of lives was reported or large-scale evacuation was carried out. Areas of High Vulnerability Where inundation of water was from 3 to 5 feet. Areas of Medium Where inundation of Water was from 2 to 3 feet. Vulnerability Areas of Low Vulnerability Where inundation of water was below 2 feet.

Based on legacy data and inundation levels during recent past, 17 Vulnerable areas were identified in Salem district and Nodal Officers were appointed to undertake preparedness, Mitigation, response and relief work. Further based on recent Cauvery flood, 6 new Vulnerable Areas have been identified in Mettur, Edapady and Sankari Taluks in August 2018. LIST OF VULNERABLE AREAS IN SALEM DISTRICT -2018

Village/Ward Level Disaster Management Committee:-

The coastal districts bear the brunt of the monsoon and hence to have a better community involvement in disaster management, Village/Ward level Committees are formed. This Committee of First Responders is perhaps the most important to be formed and the District Collector directly takes care to put in place a balanced committee with good representation. Every disaster requires total involvement and wholehearted cooperation of the village/ward level citizens. The Panchayat, VAO, local institutions, NGOs, youth clubs and the like will be encouraged by the administration to be involved in the event of an emergency. The first responders are trained to make the communities strong and vibrant in proactively tackling the disasters.

102

District Disaster Management Hand Book:-

The hand book containing telephone numbers and mobile numbers of the officials who are engaged in the disaster relating works has been prepared. The phone numbers of officials has also been updated in district website. A separate palm size book carrying the details of first responders has also been prepared and circulated to all concerned.

India Meteorological Department (IMD):-

India Meteorological Department (IMD) monitors meteorological/weather, information/bulletins, warning, announcements and continuously communicates with disaster managers for preparedness. The meteorological department undertakes observations, communications, forecasting and weather information services. During the cyclone and flood seasons, the State Government keeps close contact with the Regional Meteorological Centre for weather related forecasts. Earthquakes occurring in the state which is of magnitude 3.0 and above on the Richter scale are also reported and bulletins issued by the IMD to the State Government.

Analysis of the vulnerability and its magnitude in the areas identified, along with details of escape route to the nearest relief center are all incorporated in the vulnerability map.

Appointment of Nodal officers and Inter departmental committees for Pre-Inspection and Monitoring:

The Inter Department Zonal teams led by Revenue Authority as nodal officsrs comprising representatives from Police, Fire services, Forest department, Agriculture, Rural Development Department, etc.,have been formed for all 23 vulnerable areas and inter departmental committees at taluk levels have also been formed . An additional mobile team for high vulnerable areas have been formed too. Necessary training have been given to all these teams and they have visited their respective vulnerable areas.

Name of the Nodal Agencies for Disaster Early Warning dissemination:

Disasters Agencies Cyclone/ India Meteorological Hydrometeorological Department India Meteorological Earthquake Department

Floods Central Water Commission

Drought Ministry of Agriculture

Landslides Geological Survey of India Indian National Centre for Tsunami Ocean Information Services

108

Floods: Floods are often a result of heavy rains associated with the natural course of surplus water flow being hindered by encroachments, unplanned development and the like. The Central Water Commission has developed a network of flood forecasting stations and it issues Daily Flood Bulletins during the Monsoon seasons for all the major river basins in the following categories: • Category IV: Low Flood stage (Water level ofthe river is flowing between Warning Level and Danger Level) • Category III: Medium Flood (Water Level below 0.50m. less than HFL and above Danger Level) • Category II: High Flood (Water Level less than Highest Flood Level but still within 0.50m. of the HFL) • Category I: Unprecedented Flood (Water Level equal and above Highest Flood Level (HFL)

Cyclone:

The cyclone warnings are issued by IMD in four stages.

• The First Stage warning known as “PRE CYCLONE WATCH” issued 72 hours in advance contains early warning about the development of a cyclonic disturbance and its likely intensification into a tropical cyclone. • The Second Stage warning known as “CYCLONE ALERT” is issued at least 48 hrs. It contains information on the location and intensity of the storm, likely direction of its movement, intensification, coastal districts likely to experience adverse weather and advice to fishermen, general public, media and disaster managers. • The Third Stage warning known as “CYCLONE WARNING” issued at least 24 hours in advance of the expected commencement of adverse weather over the coastal areas. Landfall point is forecast at this stage. These warnings are issued at 3 hourly interval giving the latest position of cyclone and its intensity, likely point and time of landfall, associated heavy rainfall, strong wind and storm surge along with their impact and advice to general public, media, fishermen and disaster managers.

109

• The Fourth Stage of warning known as “POST LANDFALL OUTLOOK” is issued at least 12 hours in advance of expected time of landfall. It gives likely direction of movement of the cyclone after its landfall and adverse weather likely to be experienced in the interior areas.

Drought: Drought is still largely unpredictable and varies with regard to the time of occurrence, duration, intensity and extent of the area affected. It is a temporary condition caused by significantly less rainfall for an extended period of time. The severity of the drought can also be aggravated by other climatic factors such as high temperature, high wind and low humidity. 1. Meteorological drought: When actual rainfall over an area is significantly less than the climatological mean. 2. Hydrological drought: When there is marked depletion of surface water causing very low stream flow and drying of lakes, reservoirs and rivers. 3. Agricultural drought: When inadequate soil moisture produces acute crop stress and affects productivity. 4. Soil Moisture drought: Inadequate soil moisture particularly in rain fed areas which may not support crop growth. 5. Socio economic drought: The reduction of availability of fund and income loss on account of crop failures endangering food and social security of the people in the affected areas. 6. Famine: When large scale collapse of access to food occurs which without intervention, can lead to mass starvation. 7. Ecological drought: When the productivity of a natural ecosystem fails significantly as a consequence of distress induced environmental damage.

Heat Waves: Heat-wave early warnings are designed to reduce the avoidable human health consequences from heat-waves through timely notification of prevention measures to vulnerable populations. Heat wave is considered only after maximum temperature of a station reaches at least 40o C for plains and at least 30o C for hilly regions.

110

India Meteorological Department issues forecast on the level of Heat waves likely to prevail in the regions for 5 days at a time. Landslides:

The major landslides in Tamil Nadu occur mostly in the Nilgiris, parts of Eastern Ghats, Yelagiri and Shevaroy hills. Geological Survey of India issues alerts and warnings about landslides • Category I: Landslides that may occur over or in close vicinity of inhabited areas such as urban settlements or fairly large rural settlements wherein a landslide can result in loss of human lives and dwellings on a large scale. • Category II: The landslides that may occur on the fringes of inhabited areas and result in limited loss of life and property. • Category III: Landslides which are fairly large and affect infrastructural installations such as strategic and important highways and roads, rail routes, hydroelectric and irrigation projects. • Category IV: Landslides of small dimensions that occur away from habitations and do not affect either humans or their possessions. Earthquake: An Earthquake is a sudden event and gives hardly any time to react. Early warning or prediction of an earthquake is not easy. The protocol for Early warning and prediction of an earthquake is not presently available. India Meteorological Department (IMD) monitors seismic activity in and around the country and disseminates information to all the concerned agencies. In Tamil Nadu, three seismological network stations are located as noted below: Locations of seismological monitoring centers

111

Chemical Industrial Disaster:

• Level – 1: A non-emergency period when mock drills, trainings, exercises and other preparedness activities for effective response should be done. • Level – 2: The emergency will spill over to off-site (outside the factory) and within the capabilities of the district administration to deal with. • Level – 3: The emergency will require assistance and help from the State government and within their capability. • Level –4: A National level disaster requiring major direct intervention of the Central Government. Mock Drills:

Search and Rescue Teams at State Levels are carrying out mock drills on various disasters situation annually. For floods/flash floods mock drills are carried before the monsoon period. For earthquakes, landslides etc., such drills are being done periodically. At the district and State levels, mock exercises are being carried out for assessing and evaluating preparedness of the State machinery and that of community.

Sensitizing Hospitals/Educational Institutions and Oil Companies:

Realising the importance of sensitizing the private institutions to be equipped with mechanism for immediate response during disasters, series of meetings were held at District and State levels to sensitize the Hospital / Educational / Industrial organizations, communications service providers, Oil companies to be equipped with strategies at institutional levels and also to make back up arrangements to ensure lifesaving services unhindered especially in the hospitals.

112

Incident Response System:

The management of response in disasters requires the Government, Community, civil society and other stakeholders to carry out a large number of tasks. The activities involved in response management would depend on the nature and type of disaster. The Government of Tamil Nadu is adopting Incident Response System (IRS) in the State to ensure the unification of efforts of all the stakeholders to ensure immediate response during disasters to protect people & their properties.

First Responders

The District Administration has formed in every plotted vulnerable area first responders team in local habitations, to assist the official teams at micro level. The village level teams will handle all rescue, evacuation and shelter management with the help of first responders in the locality. A team of about 400 first responders are trained and kept ready to handle emergency situations.

113

CHAPTER v

DISASTER Response, Relief and rehabilitation

114

Disaster Response

Disaster Response measures are those which are taken instantly prior to, and following, a disaster aimed at limiting injuries, loss of life and damage to property and the environment and rescuing those who are affected or likely to be affected by disaster. Response process begins as soon as it becomes apparent that a disastrous event is imminent and lasts until the disaster is declared to be over.

At the district level, the District Collector has the responsibility for the overall management of disasters. All departments including the Police, Fire Services, Public Works, Irrigation, etc., work in a coordinated manner under the leadership of the District Collector during disasters, plays a major role. NGOs are also involved in providing relief, rescue and rehabilitation in recent times.

115

Evacuation and Rescue

The Commissioner of Revenue Administration and the State Relief Commissioner, is the Incident Commander for controlling, monitoring and directing measures for organizing rescue, relief and rehabilitation. All other line departments render cooperation in all matters pertaining to the response and relief management. The State EOC, DEOCs and other additional control rooms at the State Capital and at the district level will be manned by Senior Officers drafted for this purpose on 24x7 basis, during the disaster period. Fire Services & other State level agencies:

The Fire & Rescue Services Department plays a significant role in Search, Rescue and Evacuation operations during different disasters. In order to augment their existing fleet of fire tenders & other equipment, Government have announced additional financial support during 2017-18 to the Fire and Rescue Services Department. The Tamil Nadu Special Police, Coastal Security Group & others will also assist in Search, Rescue and Evacuation operations on need basis. Emergency Medical Response: The Emergency Medical Response is provided by the Health Department through the Government Hospitals spread throughout the State. The District Disaster Management Authority ensures a) Adequate stocks of essential medicines and life-saving drugs b) Scheduled visit of Doctors and Para medical staff to the Relief Centres. Ambulance services are augmented to render necessary assistance

119 during disasters and 840 ambulances are in operation under the 108 Emergency Ambulance Service. Multi-Purpose Evacuation Shelters / Cyclone shelters / other relief centres:

They have facilities like kitchens, water storage and toilets for men & women thus providing a safe and hygienic shelter. To accommodate livestock, separate infrastructure has been created.

• In multipurpose Evacuation Shelters (MPES) recently completed under CDRRP, provision for cooking food, adequate and safe water supply, as well as proper sanitation as per NDMA guidelines, Generators with fuel for power backup, etc. are provided in all the relief shelters. • In areas where permanent structures are not available, to avoid delay in setting up of temporary centres and exorbitant billing of essential supplies, MoU will be entered with manufacturers / suppliers for supply of factory made fast track pre-fabricated shelters / tents /toilets / mobile toilets and urinals which can be dismantled and taken back by the supplier after the deactivation of the camp. • 3.5 Sq. m of covered area per person with basic lighting facilities are provided to the inmates of relief centres as far as possible. In mountainous areas and in those areas where no other public building is available, minimum covered area will be less. • High Mast lights (wherever possible), emergency lamps, search lights and candles are arranged in sufficient quantity. • Special care is taken for the safety and privacy of inmates, especially women, widows and children as their needs are distinct in nature.

Flood Control & Drought Mitigation Measures:

The structural measures under the broad water resources segment to combat Flood and Drought are complimentary to each other. The Flood control measures include, River Grading, River/Stream training, construction of new as well as Rehabilitation of Reservoirs, Dams, Anaicuts, Check Dams, Instream Reservoirs, Riverine Reservoirs, Tail end Regulators etc Flood routing through diversion Canals/Channels and creating new storage facilities to store excess runoff. Removal of Encroachments: The problems of flooding in several locations is due to the structural anthropogenic interventions which obliterate the existence width of the water ways, constrict the water ways and I some locations eve block the water ways. The structural interventions are due to the authorized construction of public buildings in the ester years as well as due to illegal encroachments by people of different strata.

Kudimaramathu: The State Government revived the ancient system of Kudimaramathu -maintenance of water bodies with community participation. The local community will contribute 10% of the project cost and take up works of desilting of tanks and channels. An allocation of Rs 100 Cores was provided in 2016-17 and is enhanced to Rs.300 Crore during 2017-18. The Kudimaramathu scheme paves the way for the people’s participation and creates a sense of ownership in the Community besides serving the purpose of Flood Control, Drought Mitigation and Ground Water recharge and improved on farm water management. The other prevention and mitigation measures undertaken are explained in the next chapter of District specific revised goals.

CHAPTER vII revised goals (2018-2030)

123

B) DISTRICT SPECIFIC REVISED GOALS

1) Improving the resilience for facing the Drought before 2030

Salem district received 213.7 mm of rainfall during south west monsoon period in 2016-17 against a normal average of 440.6 mm (deficit of 51.5%) and a meager 54.1 mm of rainfall during North East Monsoon period in 2016-17 against an average of 370.5 mm (deficit of 85.4%). Due to this the district underwent a severe drought condition which affected 1,41,272 farmers. Subsequent to Ground truthing exercise done as per the instructions of Government, a sum of Rs. 65,65,34,281/- was sanctioned as input subsidy and credited to affected farmers account as per G.O. Ms No. 6, Revenue department, dt-10.01.2017.

In order to tackle drought conditions in future an inter departmental convergent plan involving line departments has been prepared as part of received goals in district disaster management plan for Salem district as detailed below. a) Agriculture Department:-

A.Summer ploughing

Ploughing the field across the slope during hot summer is to opening of the soil crust accompanied by deep ploughing and simultaneously overturning of the soil underneath to disinfect it with the help of piercing sun rays.

At best two summer ploughings are done prior to advent of monsoon at an interval of 15-20 days. Third ploughing can be done once with the help of harrow or cultivator to pulverize the soil and prepare field beds for sowing/transplanting soon after the first monsoon rain.

124

Benefits of summer ploughing

• The infiltration capacity and permeability of the soil increases which increases in-situ moisture conservation. Consequently plant roots will get more moisture with less effort. • Off season tillage increases water content of soils and reduces runoff. • It also reduces pest and weed infestation by Exposing weed seeds to The sun • Summer ploughing improves soil structure due to alternate drying and cooling. • Increases water holding capacity B .Mulching

This is the act of placing a protective barrier (mulch) around plants and over bare soil. This protective barrier can be made up of a variety of decomposing organic materials, including coconut husk, non-organic materials such as black plastic,

• Controls Weeds

The mulch acts as a barrier, limiting the amount of sunlight that can find its way to the weeds.

• Retains Moisture

Organic mulches absorb water. Organic and non-organic varieties both cover the soil and limit evaporation

• Prevents Soil Erosion

Mulching not only keeps existing water trapped in the soil, it also keeps rain water from washing away soil.

125

• Maintains Soil Nutrients

Mulch keep soil nutrients from being washed away with the rain, but it also can release nutrients into the soil

• Encourages Earthworms to Move In

Using organic material for mulching can encourage earthworms to occupy soil. Earthworms help improves soil structure and nutrient cycling. C. Pre-sowing Hardening of Seeds: Hardening of seeds/plants to required temperature/ chemicals enables the plants to overcome the specific stresses which enables the seeds to absorb more water under favorable situations to maintain its viability under unfavorable conditions. Rice - a) 0.5 to 1 % potassium chloride (KCl) seed hardening with 1% KCl for 16 hours (seed and KCl solution 1:1) and shade dried to bring to storable moisture. This will enable the crop to withstand early moisture stress. b) Foliar spray of Kaolin 3% or KCl 1% to overcome moisture stress at different physiological stages of rice c) Foliar spray with 1% KCl + CCC at 500ppm during vegetative stage is effective in mitigating the drought and in increasing the yield SORGHUM-Soak the seeds in 2% (20 g in one litre of water) potassium dihydrogen phosphate for six hours and shade dry the seeds for 5 hours.

Cumbu-Soaking of cumbu seeds either in 2% Potassium chloride (KCl) or 3% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) for16 hours followed by 5 hours shade drying improves germination and stand. All crops- 2 % DAP 0.5 % Zinc sulphate 0.5 – 1.0 % Ferrous sulphate + 1 % urea 0.3 % Boric acid

D.Use of Anti transpirants (AT)

In India, about 90% of the land is under rainfed farming; therefore, it is very essential to manage every drop of water received through rains. Though various measures are adopted to conserve he rain water, yet rainfed farming is often subjected to drought. Transpiration is said to be unavoidable evil but it has several functions to attend in the crop cycle.

Similarly, the WUE (Water Use Efficiency) of crops is also different and ranges from 0.24 to 1.75 kg / mm of water / ha. The purpose of ATs is to maintain the growth and productivity under stress conditions and it is never recommended for high productivity / unit area. It saves the crop and helps to get marginal yield when the expectations are zero.Thus, assured benefits of ATs to the crops can be summarized as below:

1) Optimized yield levels under infrequent rainfall situations 2) Assured better crop growth and yield when no yields are expected using severe drought

127

3) Getting normal sized grains

4) Improved seed quality (so that produce can be used for seed purpose) 5) Saving of crops with marginal crop productivity under drought 6) Reducing irrigation especially in post-rainy long duration crops like cotton and pigeon pea

E.PINK PIGMENTED FACULTATIVE METHYLOTROPS (PPFM) Beneficial effect on plant

• Fasten seed germination and seedling growth • Accelerate vegetative growth • Increase leaf area index and chlorophyll content • Earliness in flowering, fruit set and maturation • Improves fruit quality, color and seed weight • Yield increase by 10%

• Mitigate drought

Method of Application

• Seed treatment – Imbibe seed in 1.0 % volume for 5-10min (depending on seed)

• Foliar Spray of 1% PPFM

• Spray during morning or evening

• Recommended for all crops

• Spray at critical stage of crop growth (or) 30days interval

• Precaution : Do not mix with pesticide / fungicide

F. USE OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS (PGRS)

The plants possessing moderate canopy development (moderate values for LAI), less reduction in photosynthesis, deeper root system, higher root/ shoot ratio and delayed senescence will perform better under water stress conditions.

128

Toward this, application of some of the PGRs will prove beneficial for better crop growth and development when grown under water deficit situations. Some of the PGRs and their effects on crops in order to suit to the water stress conditions

G. Agro-techniques for mitigating Water Stress: • Split application of N and K fertilizers in cotton at 45 and 60 DAS • Seed hardening with 1% KH2PO4 for 6-8 hours (depending upon nature of seed coat) soaked in equal volume of water. • In cotton, nipping terminal portion of main stem beyond 15th (at 70-80 DAS) and at 20th node (at 90 DAS) in the case of hybrids and varieties respectively for arresting transpiratory loss of water) • Application of coconut husk around coconut trees to reduce water evaporation. • Picture irrigation method can be adopted for coconut trees to overcome water stress. b) Horticulture Department:-

➢ Recommendation of Drought tolerant varieties.

➢ Recommendation of short duration crops.

➢ Recommendation of PPFM Bacterial spray to mitigate drought and save crops (Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs). It helps crops to remain greener for 15 – 20 days to help them to rejuvenate when it rains within the periods. 200 ml mixed with 200 lts of water for 1 acre.

➢ Use of soil moisture conservation measures like summer ploughing, use of more organic fertilizers & use of green manuresthe useable quantities could decrease.

129 c) DISTRICT WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

To achieve above revised goals in Salem district priority should be given to conserve soil and water. Because soil and water are the two important natural resources. Science and Technology have made many new resources accessible to humanity, nevertheless soil and water continue to remain the principle resources to the primary needs of life on earth. Land and water are limited in area and volume and we have way of augmenting any of them. On the other hand, diverse uses do affect the quality of land water adversely and consequently clothing would continue to increase because of growing population as well as improved quality of life that we are striving to achieve. Our exploitation of available natural resources for meeting the ever increasing demand for food, fuel and fiber has led to serious environmental degradation like soil erosion and land degradation, declining water table and the agricultural productivity needs to be enhanced. And also cultivable area is decreasing as against the increasing population.

Now, our main challenge is to move the district decisively in the direction of ''inclusive growth''. Rainfed areas of 1,42,434 Ha out of net cultivated area, have suffered neglect in the past. High untapped productivity and income potential exists in these areas. An insight into the rainfed areas reveals a grim picture of poverty, water scarcity, rapid depletion of ground water table and fragile ecosystems. Land degradation due to soil erosion by water, low rain water use efficiency, high population pressure, acute fodder shortage, poor livestock productivity, under investment in water use efficiency.

To conserve soil and water Integrated Watershed Management Programme is proposed within the boundaries of drainage areas, emphasizing participatory approach. This involves

130 implementation of ameliorative measures on barren lands, rainfed lands, common lands, eroded gullies and stream course including the development of livestock with an overall objective of managing and conserving natural and human resources for sustained production and all-round development of the area.

General Suggestions To Over Come Drought

Salem District is one of the biggest Districts in Tamil Nadu. The geographical area of the Salem District is 5,20,530 Hectares. In Salem District 1,42,434 Hectares is under rainfed agriculture which is 53% of the cultivable area. In Salem District, 29 firkas are over exploited out of 42 firkas. Mainly over exploited firkas given priority to conserve soil and water which intern raise ground water table. Hence our focus should be on dry land agriculture. The Received rainfall over the area should be harvested without wastage Now a days rainfall distribution is uneven, scandy, not seasonal, long gap between rain days. Hence whenever where ever we receive rainfall that should be conserved and stored there itself. The rainfall can be harvested or saved in the areas of namely 1.common land water harvesting, 2. Individual house water harvesting, 3.Individual field water harvesting

1. Common land water harvesting Water harvesting and soil and water conservation works in common land almost completed. In future the maintenance of existing structures may be taken up. 2. Individual House water harvesting The rain water over the roof may be collected and reused for borewell recharging, washing and other uses. This can be achieved through local administration departments

131

3. Individual field water harvesting Mainly in cultivable lands area, the individual water harvesting should be taken up. The rainwater received over the field is utilized directly or indirectly in the field itself. For individual farmers, soil and water conversation works like contour bunds, farm pond and plantation works to be proposed in the dry land areas. The formed contour bund will act as miniature dam which will store water with fertile soil during all rain days. The individual farm Pond formed in the field will collect and store rain waters from upper field. Rain water collected will be useful for life irrigation of crops. The above conservation works will raise up the ground water level and restore the ecology. This conservation can be achieved through watershed schemes MGNREGA and Government special schemes through agricultural engineering department.

Watershed Schemes

In Salem District, District Watershed Development Agency executing water sheds Scheme From 1996 onwards.Watershed schemes implemented in the district are 1. Drought Prone Area Programme(DPAP) – 12 Clusters 2. Integrated Watershed Development Project(IWDP) – 3 Clusters 3. Integrated Watershed Management Programme(IWMP) – 14 Clusters

In Salem District watershed development agency is executing (IWMP) Watershed Programme for 161 watersheds in 10 blocks covering watershed area of 72578 Hec. Through Watershed Management Programme, Natural Resources Management (NRM) works mainly to conserve soil and water. And also for integrated watershed development, Farm Production Schemes (FPS) and Livelihood Support Systems (LSS) are also implemented. The details of water harvesting works so for Executed in the watershed are given in Table-I.

132

PMKSY- Watershed Schemes

2016-17 onwards the watershed Development Scheme is renamed and being implemented as PMKSY-PRADHAN MANTRI KRISHI SINCHAYEE YOJANA. The following works are being implemented and proposed to conserve soil and water to mitigate drought in the district.

1) Percolation Pond 2) Field Bunding 3) Sunken Pond 4) Recharge Shaft 5) Check Dam 6) Renovation of pond 7) Farm Pond The List of works proposed in ongoing PMKSY Schemes (7 Cluster)–and new project (10 cluster) which proposed in District Irrigation Plan (DIP) are given in Table – II& III.

The Table –II shows the list of works proposed in 13 over exploited firkas And Table III shows the list of works proposed and the same works also proposed in semi critical and safe firkas for an amount of Rs.1041.34/-Lakhs. d) Town Panchayat Department:-

Out of the 33 Nos. of Town Panchayats in Salem District, 31 Nos. of TPs are covered under CWSS and the remaining 2 Nos.of TPs (Thevur & Arasiramani) are covered under SAS. Cauvery River is the major source for drinking water supply in all the 33 Town Panchayats. During the drought period, when there is insufficient flow in the Cauvery River, the town panchayats had to face severe hardships to supply sufficient protected water to the public. In order to combat the drought it is necessary to identify alternate local sources otherthan

133

Cauvery River, so that uninterrupted water supply shall be ensured all throughout the year. During the past drought period, 247 water supply works such as drilling of new borewells, flushing of borewells etc., has been carriedout at an estimate cost of Rs.292.55 lakhs under SDRF and General Funds. Eventhough, large amount of has been spent in water supply for combating drought, it is not the permanent remedy for this issue. Each and every year repeating the same exercise does not draw fruitful results. So, it is inevitable to conduct the study for supplying sufficient protected water to all the people at par with increasing population growth. Hence, at the preliminary level, it is atmost necessary to carryout the following measures to combat drought in a more efficient way, ➢ Desilting the water sources available within the TP limit for serving as a water catchment body during the rainy season. ➢ Improving ground water level by providing Rain Water Harvesting structures in every building. ➢ Recharging the existing and defunct borewells and wells. ➢ Identifying alternate micro level local sources. ➢ Precautionary measures such as drilling of additional borewells, deepening of borewells, creating new water sources etc., ➢ Awareness among the public about water conservation e) Animal Husbandry Department:-

The cattle and Buffalo population in Salem District as per the 19th cattle census is 6,37,650. The sheep and goat population is 7,89,928. The milk production in Salem district is around 12- 15 lakh litres per day, which is procured by Aavin, Hatsun and other pvt Dairies. The main income generation is through Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Animal Husbandry plays a vital role in poverty alleviation and income generation during the drought situations.

134

Fodder Requirement: The requirement of dry and Green fodder for the cattle and buffalo population is:- (1) Dry fodder at the rate of 3kg/animal/day (2) Green fodder at the rate of 10 kg/day/animal Drought Action Plan During Fodder Shortage Period. Silage Making: Simple silage making techniques like tube silage making Technology can be demonstrated to farmers who are having excess fodder during surplus period and they can be trained to adopt this technique since it is a low cost and a nutritive during the lean period.

"Azolla " As A Feed And Alternative For Concentrate Feed: To minimize the concentrate feed cost Azolla can be used as an alternative. One kg of Azolla can replace one kg of groundnut cake. Awareness were created to increase the adoption and to popularize this Azolla cultivation among the farmers.

Hydroponic Green Fodder Production A novel method called ‘Hydroponics’ which means growing plants without soil by using nutrient water at desired temperature and humidity. Through hydroponics it is easier and quick to produce nutritive green fodder. Maize, Ragi, Bajra, Cowpea, Horse gram, Sun hemp, Jowar and Foxtail millet seeds are found to be suitable to grow by hydroponic method Leguminous crops grow well and is encouraging as fodder owing to its high crude protein content, than cereal crops. The hydroponic fodder was fed to small and large ruminants and pigs and found to be highly palatable with no wastage.

The advantage of hydroponic fodder production is that i. It requires just 480 sq. ft area to produce 1000 kg every day against 5 - 30 acres land under conventional system. ii. Saving of water to the extent of 95% and is recycled. iii. Can be grown throughout the year iv. Harvesting period is just 8 days and v. It also saves labour, energy and time.

135

Utilisation Of Tree Fodders And Tree Leaves : Soobabul, vadha narayanan,Glyricidia, Agathi, Kodukapuli, Pungan, Murungai, and Neem leaves can be fed as a part of green fodder with available sources. The dried leaves can be collected in vessels. Salt and jaggery @ 2% mixed in a litre of water and poured on dried leaves and can be fed to cattle as fodder. Bagasee, (Sugarcane residue) can be collected in vessels. Salt and jaggery @ 2% mixed in a litre of water and poured on dried leaves and can be fed to cattle as fodder. Utilization of Crop Residues as Feed: Dried Groundnut plant, Cotton waste, Beer factory waste, Maize shunk with stem, Tapioca thippi, Maize stover, Pulse husk, Cotton bratt, Sorghum husk, Banana crop waste and waste of mango pulp industry can also be used.

To reduce the feed cost the feed residues like wet corn gluten (a feed residue which is the residue in glucose factory, after extraction of glucose) can be fed to animals. Enrichment of Paddy Straw As such paddy straw contain no protein. To increase the protein availability in straw the enrichment of paddy straw can be done and suitable demonstration can be carried out to adopt this technique as it is a low cost one. To Fully Utilize the Available Fodder By Using ❖ Power Operated Chaff-Cutters The green fodder has to be cut at an optimum stage and fed to animals. Otherwise the fodder which is not cut at an optimum stage and fed leads to under utilization of available fodder which goes as a waste .If the green fodder is fed as such the hard and stem portion are not taken properly and it is wasted by the animal. To avoid this waste and to increase the utilization of green fodder, Chaff Cutters can be used. Available green fodder & dry fodder can be chaffed, mixed together and can be fed to livestock. Chaffed fodder also increase the intake by animal as the smaller portion of green fodder uses more microbes for microbial digestion in nourishment.

136

❖ Rain Gun To reduce water wastage and effective utilization the water, rain guns may be supplied with subsidy under SFDS scheme to irrigate fodder fields.

❖ Slurry Irrigation For effective utilization the water used for washing the cows and cow sheds the slurry water can be irrigated to fodder plots so that water can be utilized effectively at the same time usage of fertilizers can be minimized.

To Over Come Drought: * Subsidized concentrate feed can be given to the farmers.

* Dry fodder& mineral mixture blocks, mineral licks can be given to the farmer at subsidized cost to overcome stress, mineral deficiency to minimize the production loss. * Water saving devices like Rain Guns and drip irrigation can be given to farmers at subsidized cost. * Automatic drinking water devices can be given to farmers at subsidized cost to reduce wastage of water. * Green Fodder cultivation in between Coconut tree plants like Guinea grass and Stylo can be encouraged. * Growing of green grass in farmers land and a buy back arrangement can be done to increase the utilization of green fodder in needy place can be encouraged. * Tree fodder plantation can be increased in farmers land in bunds and in waste land of Village Panchayats can be encouraged and also as a live fence in farmers land.

Attur & Narasingapuram municipalities: Since this is a ground water exploited area there is no local source available in the drought period. We are depending upon only the Cavery river water source. So we need separate feeder main for Attur Municipality and Narasingapuram Municipality under CWSS Scheme for uninterrupted water supply, Since this Municipality is located at tail end.

In Mettur municipality Present Water Supply design quantity is 13.15 MLD so, expected population in the year 2030 is 65,000 during

140 demand that year 2030 is 8.77 MLD so, this quantity should be meet out from Current schemes. No Necessity for new scheme upto year of 2030.

In Idappadi municipality Since this is a ground water exploited area there is no local source available in the drought period. We are depending upon only the Cauvery river water source.

g) Salem City Municipal Corporation i) A Check dam is to be constructed across the River Cauvery to ensure sufficient storage of raw water during drought period near the Tottilpatti Intake tower in the river bed. ii) The depletion of water table can be prevented by increasing the carrying capacity of Reservoirs viz.,

141

a) Mookaneri b) Kumaragiri lake c) Ismail khan lake d) Ammal Eri e) Bodinaickanpatti lake f) Selathampatti lake g) Panchanthangi Eri h) Vellakuttai Eri i) Veeranam Lake j) Allikuttai lake k) Kollankuttai lake l) Pallapatti Eri

iii) Identification of additional source for supply of non-potable water from Dalmia/Burn & Co. and Panamarathupatty lake. h) Rural Development:

In Salem District, there are 385 panchayats in which 360 panchayats are being covered under CWSS and sufficient drinking water supply isbeing provided regularly. Apart from CWSS, all the 385 panchayats are being provided water supply through own water resources like Ground water, Power pump, Mini Power pump, Over Head Tanks and Open well. We can supply a minimum of 58 LPCD to all 385 panchayats in 20 blocks up to March 2018. Hence, there are 1655 No. of Water Supply works in the estimate of 4288.00 Lakhs, were takenup during the drought period for the year 2017-18 to mitigate the water scarcity crisis. After that, to mitigate the water scarcity crisis throughRejuvenation of water supply sources, water supply would be provided through Lorries and Quarries in which potable water is available sufficiently.

3. Improving ground water table substantially by 2030 in the over exploited Blocks.

Salem district is a semi arid region and geologically underlined by crystalline formations. The phenomenal increase in minor irrigation development by ground water by means of rapid energisation of pump sets and availability of institutional finance mainly for medium and small farmers consequently led to the inevitable declining trend in water table condition. Almost the entire shallow aquifer zone has been tapped for agriculture development in hard rock areas. The ground water development in the district in general is severe when compared to many other districts in the state. As many as 16 out of 20 blocks in the district have been categorized as either overexploited, critical and semi critical. The trend analysis of historical ground water level data also indicates a long term fall. The district could be considered vulnerable to various environmental impact of water level depletion such as declining ground water levels, drying up of shallow wells and resources, decrease in yield of bore wells due to increased expenditure and power consumption for drawing water from progressively greater depths. Due to irrational, unplanned use of ground water with lack of plan and long term vision to rejuvenate the ground water reserves simultaneously led to over exploitation. Hence the need for building up additional ground water storage is essential as and when it is available to conserve it to ensure that the available supplies last through the lean season.

154

Further Water self actualization can be met out only by two factors: 1. Controlling the utilization of ground water. 2. Management of ground water by conservation. 3. Ground water control – Under the control of ground water, it is the endless tire taken by the man to use the water resources in a methodological on conservation. The right quantum used for a right time without any wastage or vain. As far as the ground water management is concerned, the utility of ground water is to be designed as less uses more production.

Future plan of Artificial recharge structures – Year wise Target and Achievements Planning of artificial recharge schemes involves the formulation of a suitable plan under a given set of natural condition to augment the natural ground water recharge. Proper scientific investigation aimed at assessing the need and feasibility of an area for artificial recharge are necessary pre requisites for planning and implementation of any successful artificial recharge projects. Detailed consideration of the following aspects is necessary for evolving a realistic plan for an artificial recharge scheme. Establishment of ground facts which includes ➢ Need for artificial recharge ➢ Estimation of subsurface storage capacity of the aquifers and quantification of water required for recharge ➢ Prioritization of areas for artificial recharge ➢ Source water availability ➢ Assessment of source water ➢ Source water quality

155

➢ Suitability of the area for recharge in terms of climate, topography, soil and land use characteristics and hydro geologic set up ➢ Appraisal of economic viability ➢ Finalization of physical plan ➢ Preparation of a plan document covering all the aspects mentioned above The natural replenishment of ground water reservoir is slow process and is often unable to keep pace with the excessive and continued exploitation of ground water resources in the district. Artificial recharge efforts are basically aimed at augmentation of the natural movement of surface water into ground water reservoir through suitable civil construction techniques. It aims at extending the recharge period in the post monsoon season for about three or more months resulting in enhanced sustainability of ground water sources during lean season. Rainfall and runoff available constitute the major sources of water for artificial recharge of ground water. Even though bountiful rainfall of 1135.50mm was recorded in Salem district in 2015, it was barely sufficient for the ground water table to sustain its position even for a single season in a year. In the recent spell of rains also could recharge to some extent only in all the blocks of the district. Due to this rain, the non stressed observation wells ie., open dug wells found ranging to a depth of 8m to 12.50m bgl (below ground level). This range of depths exists in 24m to 28m in static conditions of bore wells. The pumping level in agricultural wells showed a range of dynamic level of 50m to 60m. Therefore to sustain the ground water level for the further period and to tackle the problem of water level decline, it is necessary to take up schemes for water conservation and artificial recharge to ground water on priority with a control and protection.

156

a) PWD (Ground Water)

Based on the rock formation, rock types and hydro geologic characteristics found in the Salem district combination of artificial recharge wells and recharge shafts have been proposed in about 97 nos of PWD tanks. Ground water Division, PWD at Salem have submitted a proposal for execution of about 97 nos of recharge wells and 354 nos of recharge shaft to a total value of Rs.6974.35 Lakhs in the over exploited, critical and semi critical blocks of the district to improve the Ground water table (Year wise target details enclosed)

Ground Water Recharge, Discharge and Balance

Ground water resources of the district are periodically assessed by taking assessment unit as block and firka during the year 2009 the block wise calculation was done and later on during 2011 it was calculated as firka wise assessment with the information on recharge, discharge and balance of ground water available. Calculation with respect to the utilization of ground water are appended here under as statement.

Based on the above analysis of Rainfall, water level and prediction on future status of groundwater levels, the agricultural waterlevel can be maintained only by controlling the quantity drawn for agricultural cropping. Wastage of water in the field has to be restricted by the adoption of irrigation pattern changes. Energisation to pumpsets has to be re-oriented so as to draw the required and conserved state of water to the crop. The safe zone of pumping level can be safely maintained and sustainable only the changes stated above are effected.

Forecast and rise of water level or the sustainable nature of future water level: As mentioned above the objective of recharge is to replenish de- saturated aquifer zones or to arrest/reverse decline in ground water

167 levels. A long term declining trend of ground water levels, in the absence of significant negative departure of rainfall, may be attributed to over development of ground water resources. Ground water sustainability is the development and use of ground water to meet both current and future beneficial purposes without causing unacceptable consequences. Ground water sustainability involves minimizing net losses from the hydrologic reservoir, management of ground water as an integrated part of the hydrologic cycle, development of manmade infrastructure based on an understanding of the natural hydrologic system, wise and efficient water use and fair allocation and monitoring of water for human as well as environmental and ecological needs. The following below has been highlighted to show some potential methods available to help achieve ground water sustainability. ➢ Change rates or spatial patterns of ground water pumpage ➢ Increase recharge to the ground water system by means of constructing water conservation and artificial recharge structures ➢ Use aquifers as reservoirs ➢ Controlling of ground water development and utilization by Implementing suitable Ground water management Act/Bill.

Artificial recharge schemes to be implemented in the district for recharge of ground water and to keep the ground water level in appreciable level is herewith enclosed. Hence the future vision 2030 can be optimally achieved by regulating the ground water control, protection and implementing the projects of artificial recharge in tanks and other water courses of the district.PWD (Gro

8. Reducing the Landslide by 2030 through convergent Inter- Departmental Plans.

The Shervoroys hills in Salem district is prone to landslide and such incidents have occurred in yercaud ghat road which extend for 27 km. Landslides caused disruption to traffic and damages to life and property. The hilly region is connected by ghat road section with 18 hairpin bends. The highways departments has taken necessary measure to reduce the incidents of landslides and also to mitigates the effect of land slides.

a) Highways Department

Salem (H) (C&M) Division has 1225 KM of roads in which 168 KM of State Highways, 343 KM of Major District roads and 714 KM of Other District roads. During the North East Monsoon, Salem District had a heavy rain. The monsoon rain damaged around 432 KM of road. Most of the damages are patches and pot holes. Heavy damages occurd in the Yercaud region. Some of the culverts are also damaged due to this monsoon rain.

Benefits of silt application due to above schemes

➢ Desilting has contributed considerable recharge of ground water ➢ Texture of the soil has improved. ➢ Organic matter content has slightly improvement in Organic matter content and earth worm population has been noticed in silt applied fields. Fertility of the soil has improved with the increased Soil microbial activity. ➢ Infiltration and Water holding capacity of the soil has increased, that has been observed during the NW Monsoon showers. Moisture retention is more in the silt applied fields, thus reduces the frequency of irrigation which resulted in reduction in usage of water, cost of labor. ➢ Application of silt back to the agriculture fields forms an improved agricultural management practices that enhances and protects the soil quality resulting in improved production capacity of soil and reverses the process of land degradation. ➢ Application of Chemical Fertilizer has been reduced by 25-35% ➢ In case of Maize, production has increased by 1 MT, in cotton by 250 kg/ha and in Paddy by 0.5 MT. ➢ Income of the farmer has been increased by 20 to 30% ➢ It has created awarenes0s among other farmers to apply silt in their field.

CHAPTER - IX DO’S anD DOn’TS for disasters

211

People Centered Advisory (Do’s and Don’ts during disasters)

CYCLONE: Before the Cyclone season:

➢ Check the house; secure loose tiles and carry out repairs of doors and windows ➢ Remove dead branches or dying tress close to the house; anchor removable objects such as lumber piles, loose tine sheets, loose bricks, garbage cans, sign-boards etc. Which can fly in strong winds ➢ Keep some wooden boards ready so that glass windows can be boarded if needed ➢ Keep a hurricane lantern filled with kerosene, battery operated torches and enough dry cells ➢ Demolish condemned buildings ➢ Keep some extra batteries for transistors ➢ Keep some dry non-perishable food always ready for use in emergency

Necessary Actions

The actions that need to be taken in the event of a cyclone threat can broadly be divided into:

➢ Immediately before the cyclone season ➢ When cyclone alerts and warnings are communicated ➢ When evacuations are advised ➢ When the cyclone has crossed the coast.

212

When the Cyclone starts

➢ Listen to the radio (All India Radio Stations give weather warnings). ➢ Keep monitoring the warnings. This will help you prepare for a cyclone emergency. ➢ Pass the information to others. ➢ Ignore rumors and do not spread them; this will help to avoid panic situations. ➢ Believe in the official information. ➢ When a cyclone alert is on for your area continue working but stay alert to the radio warnings. ➢ Stay alert for the next 24 hours as a cyclone alert means that the danger is within 24 hours.

When your area is under cyclone warning get away from low-lying beaches or other low-lying areas close to the coast

➢ Leave early before your way to high ground or shelter gets flooded ➢ Do not delay and run the risk of being marooned ➢ If your house is securely built on high ground take shelter in the safe part of the house. However, if asked to evacuate do not hesitate to leave the place. ➢ Board up glass windows or put storm shutters in place. ➢ Provide strong suitable support for outside doors. ➢ If you do not have wooden boards handy, paste paper strips on glasses to prevent splinters. However, this may not avoid breaking windows. ➢ Get extra food, which can be eaten without cooking. Store extra drinking water in suitably covered vessels. ➢ If you have evacuate the house move your valuable articles to upper floors to minimize flood damage. ➢ Ensure that your hurricane lantern, torches or other emergency lights are in working condition and keep them handy. ➢ Small and loose things, which can fly in strong winds, should be stored safely in a room. ➢ Be sure that a window and door can be opened only on the side opposite to the one facing the wind. ➢ Make provision for children and adults requiring special diet.

213

➢ If the centre of the cyclone is passing directly over your house there will be a lull in the wind and rain lasting for half an hour or so. During this time do not go out; because immediately after that, very strong winds will below from the opposite direction. ➢ Switch off the electrical mains in your house. ➢ Remain calm.

When Evacuation is instructed

➢ Pack essentials for yourself and your family to last a few days. These should include medicines, special food for babies and children or elders. ➢ Head for the proper shelter or evacuation points indicated for your area. ➢ Do not worry about your property. ➢ At the shelter follow instructions of the person in charge. ➢ Remain in the shelter until you are informed to leave.

Post-cyclone measures

➢ You should remain in the shelter until informed that you can return to your home. ➢ You must get inoculated against diseases immediately. ➢ Strictly avoid any loose and dangling wires from lamp posts. ➢ If you have to drive, do drive carefully. ➢ Clear debris from your premises immediately. ➢ Report the correct losses to appropriate authorities.

214

FLOODS

What to do before a flood

To prepare for a flood, you should:

➢ Avoid building in flood prone areas unless you elevate and reinforce your home. ➢ Elevate the furnace, water heater, and electric panel if susceptible to flooding. ➢ Install “Check Valves” in sewer traps to prevent floodwater from backing up into the drains of your home. ➢ Contact community officials to find out if they are planning to construct barriers (levees, beams and floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering the homes in your area. ➢ Seal the walls in your basement with water proofing compounds to avoid seepage.

If a flood is likely to hit your area, you should:

➢ Listen to the radio or television for information. ➢ Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move. ➢ Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons, and other areas known to flood suddenly. Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain.

If you must prepare to evacuate, you should:

➢ Secure your home. If you have time, bring in outdoor furniture. Move essential items to an upper floor. ➢ Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.

215

If you have to leave your home, remember these evacuation tips:

➢ Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you. ➢ Don not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be quickly swept away.

TSUNAMI

Do’s & Don’ts

➢ You should find out if your home, school, workplace, or other frequently visited locations are in tsunami hazard areas along sea- shore. ➢ Know the height of your street above sea level and the distance of your street from the coast or other high-risk waters. (Local administration may put sign boards). ➢ Plan evacuation routes from your home, school, workplace, or any other place you could be where tsunamis present a risk. ➢ If your children’s school is in an identified inundation zone, find out what the school evacuation plan is. ➢ Practice your evacuation routes. ➢ Use a Weather Radio or stay tuned to a local radio or television station to keep informed of local watches and warnings. ➢ Talk to your insurance agent. Homeowner’s policies may not cover flooding from a tsunami. Ask the Insurance Agent about the benefits from Multi-Hazard Insurance Schemes. ➢ Discuss tsunamis with your family. Everyone should know what to do in a tsunami situation. Discussing tsunamis ahead of time will help reduce fear and save precious time in an emergency. Review flood safety and preparedness measures with your family.

216

If you are in an area at Risk from Tsunami

➢ You should find out if your home, school, workplace, or other frequently visited locations are in tsunami hazard areas. ➢ Know the height of your street above sea level and the distance of your street from the coast or other high-risk waters. (Local administration may put sign boards). Also find out the height above sea level and the distance from the coast of outbuildings that house animals, as well as pastures or corrals. ➢ Plan evacuation routes from your home, school, workplace, or any other place you could be where tsunamis present a risk. If possible, pick areas (30 meters) above sea level or go as far as 3 kilo meters inland, away from the coastline. If you cannot get this high or far, go as high or far as you can. Every meter inland or upward may make a difference. You should be able to reach your safe location on foot within 15 minutes. After a disaster, roads may become blocked or unusable. Be prepared to evacuate by foot if necessary. Footpaths normally lead uphill and inland, while many roads parallel coastlines. Follow posted tsunami evacuation routes; these will lead to safety. Local emergency management officials can advise you on the best route to safety and likely shelter locations. ➢ If your children’s school is in an identified inundation zone, find out what the school evacuation plan is. Find out if the plan requires you to pick your children up from school or from another location. Telephone lines during a tsunami watch or warning may be overloaded and routes to and from schools may be jammed. ➢ Practice your evacuation routes. Familiarity may save your life. Be able to follow your escape route at night and during inclement weather. Practicing your plan makes the appropriate response more of a reaction, requiring less thinking during an actual emergency situation. ➢ Use a Weather Radio or stay tuned to a local radio or television station to keep informed of local watches and warnings. ➢ Talk to your insurance agent. Homeowner’s policies may not cover flooding from a tsunami. Ask the Insurance Agent about the benefits from Multi-Hazard Insurance Schemes.

217

➢ Discus tsunamis with your family. Everyone should know what to do in a tsunami situation. Discussing tsunamis ahead of time will help reduce fear and save precious time in an emergency. Review flood safety and preparedness measures with your family.

If you are visiting an area at Risk from Tsunami

➢ Check with the hotel or campground operators for tsunami evacuation information and find out what the warning system is for tsunamis. It is important to know designated escape routes before a warning is issued. ➢ One of the early warning signals of a tsunami is that the sea water recedes several meters, exposing fish on shallow waters or on the beaches. If you see the sea water receding, you must immediately leave the beach and go to higher ground far away from the beach. ➢ Protect Your Property. ➢ You should avoid building or living in buildings within 200 meters of the high tide coastline. ➢ These areas are more likely to experience damage from tsunamis, strong winds, or coastal storms. ➢ Make a list of items to bring inside in the event of a tsunami. ➢ A list will help you remember anything that can be swept away by tsunami water. ➢ Elevate coastal homes. ➢ Most tsunami waves are less than 3 meters. Elevating your house will help reduce damage to your property from most tsunamis. ➢ Take precautions to prevent flooding. ➢ Have an engineer check your home and advise about ways to make it more resistant to tsunami water. ➢ There may be ways to divert waves away from your property. Improperly built walls could make your situation worse. Consult with a professional for advice. ➢ Ensure that any outbuildings, pastures, or corrals are protected in the same way as your home. When installing or changing fence lines, consider placing them in such a way that your animals are able to move to higher ground in the event of a tsunami.

218

What to Do if you Fell a Strong Coastal Earthquake

If you feel an earthquake that lasts 20 seconds or longer when you are in a coastal area, you should:

➢ Drop, cover and hold on. You should first protect yourself from the earthquake damages. ➢ When the shaking stops. ➢ Gather members of your household and move quickly to higher ground away from the coast. A tsunami may be coming within minutes. ➢ Avoid downed power lines and stay away from damaged buildings and bridges from which Heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. ➢ If you are on land ➢ Be aware of tsunami facts. This knowledge could save your life! Share this knowledge with your relatives and friends. It could save their lives! ➢ If you are in school and you hear there is a tsunami warning. ➢ You should follow the advice of teachers and other school personnel. ➢ If you are at home and hear there is a tsunami warning. ➢ You should make sure your entire family is aware of the warning. Your family should evacuate your house if you live in a tsunami evacuation zone. Move in an orderly, calm and safe manner to the evacuation site or to any safe place outside your evacuation zone. Follow the advice of local emergency and law enforcement authorities. ➢ If you are at the beach or near the ocean and you feel the earth shake, ➢ Move immediately to higher ground, DO NOT wait for a tsunami warning to be announced. Stay away from rivers and streams that lead to the ocean as you would stay away from the beach and ocean if there is a tsunami. A regional tsunami from a local earthquake could strike some areas before a tsunami warning could be announced.

219

➢ Tsunamis generated in distant locations will generally give people enough time to move to higher ground. For locally-generated tsunamis, where you might feel the ground shake, you may only have a few minutes to move to higher ground. ➢ High, multi-storied, reinforced concrete hotels are located in many low-lying coastal areas. The upper floors of these hotels can provide a safe place to find refuge should there be tsunami warning and you cannot move quickly inland to higher ground. ➢ Homes and small buildings located in low-lying coastal areas are not designed to withstand tsunami impacts. Do not stay in these structures should there be a tsunami warning. ➢ Offshore reefs and shallow areas may help break the force of tsunami waves, but large and dangerous wave can still be a threat to coastal residents in these areas. ➢ Staying away from all low-lying areas is the safest advice when there is a tsunami warning. ➢ If you are on a boat, ➢ Since tsunami wave activity is imperceptible in the open ocean, do not return to port if you are at sea and a tsunami warning has been issued for your area. Tsunamis can cause rapid changes in water level and unpredictable dangerous currents in harbors and ports. ➢ If there is time to move your boat or ship from port or ship from port to deep water (after a tsunami warning has been issued), you should weigh the following considerations. ➢ Most large harbors and ports are under the control of a harbor authority and/or a vessel traffic system. These authorities direct operations during periods of increased readiness (should a tsunami be expected), including the forced movement of vessels if deemed necessary. Keep in contact with the authorities should a forced movement of vessel be directed. ➢ Smaller ports may not be under the control of a harbor authority. If you are aware there is a tsunami warning and you have time to move your vessel to deep water, then you may want to do so in an orderly manner, in consideration of other vessels. ➢ Owners of small boats may find it safest to leave their boat at the pier and physically move to higher ground, particularly in the event of a locally-generated tsunami.

220

➢ Concurrent severe weather conditions (rough seas outside of safe harbor) could present a greater hazardous situation to small boats, so physically moving yourself to higher ground may be the only option. ➢ Damaging wave activity and unpredictable currents can affect harbors for a period of time following the initial tsunami impact on the coast. Contact the harbor authority before returning to port making sure to verify that conditions in the harbor are safe for navigation and berthing.

What to do after a Tsunami

➢ You should continue using a Weather Radio or staying tuned to a Coast Guard emergency frequency station or a local radio or television station for updated emergency information. ➢ The Tsunami may have damaged roads, bridges or other places that may be unsafe. ➢ Check yourself for injuries and get first aid if necessary before helping injured or trapped persons. ➢ If someone needs to be rescued, call professional with the right equipment to help. ➢ Help people who require special assistance - Infants, elderly people, those without transportation, large families who may need additional help in an emergency situation, people with disabilities, and the people who care for them. ➢ Avoid disaster areas. ➢ Your presence might hamper rescue and other emergency operations and put out at further risk from the residual effects of floods, such as contaminated water, crumbled roads, landslides, mudflows, and other hazards. ➢ Your presence might hamper rescue and other emergency operations and put you at further risk from the residual effects of floods, such as contaminated water, crumbled roads, landslides, mudflows, and other hazards. ➢ Use the telephone only for emergency calls. Telephone lines are frequently overwhelmed in disaster situations. They need to be clear for emergency calls to get through.

221

➢ Stay out of a building if water remains around it. Tsunami water, like floodwater, can undermine foundations, causing buildings to sink, floors to crack, or walls to collapse. ➢ When re-entering building if water remains around it. Tsunami - driven floodwater may have damaged buildings where you least expect it. Carefully watch every step you take. ➢ Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and sturdy shoes. The most common injury following a disaster is cut feet. ➢ Use battery-powered lanterns or flashlights when examining buildings. Battery-powered lighting is the safest and easiest to use, and it does not present a fire hazard for the user, occupants, or building. DO NOT USE CANDLES. ➢ Examine walls, floors, doors, staircases, and windows to make sure that the building is not in danger of collapsing. Inspect foundations for cracks or other damages. Cracks and damage to a foundation can render a building uninhabitable. ➢ Look for fire hazards. Under the earthquake action there may be broken or leaking gas lines, and under the tsunami flooded electrical circuits, or sub merged furnaces or electrical appliances. Flammable or explosive. ➢ Materials may have come from upstream. Fire is the most frequent hazard following floods. ➢ Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and get everyone outside quickly. Turn off the gas using the outside main valve if you can, and call the gas company from a neighbor’s home. If you turn off the gas for any reason, it must be turned back on by a professional. ➢ Look for electrical system damage. If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or if you smell burning insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker, call an electrician first for advice. Electrical equipment should be checked and dried before being returned to service. ➢ Check for damage to sewage and water lines. If you suspect sewage lines are damaged under the quake, avoid using the toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap. You can obtain safe

222

water from undamaged water heaters or by melting ice cubes that were made before the tsunami hit. Turn off the main water valve before draining water from these sources. Use tap water only if local health officials advice it is safe. ➢ Watch out for wild animals, especially poisonous snakes that may have come into buildings with the water. Use a stick to poke through debris. Tsunamis floodwater flushes snakes and animals out of their homes. ➢ Watch for loose plaster, drywall, and ceilings that could fall. ➢ Take pictures of the damage, both of the building and its contents, for insurance claims. Open the windows and doors to help dry the building. ➢ Shovel mud before it solidifies. ➢ Check food supplies. ➢ Any food that has come in contact with floodwater may be contaminated and should be thrown out. ➢ Expect aftershocks. If the earthquake is of large magnitude (magnitude 8 to 9+ on the Richter scale) and located nearby, some aftershocks could be as large as magnitude 7+ and capable of generating another tsunami. The number of aftershocks will decrease over the course of several days, weeks, or months depending on how large the main shock was. ➢ Watch your animals closely. Keep all your animals under your direct control. Hazardous materials abound in flooded areas. Your pets may be able to escape from your home or through a broken fence. Pets may become disoriented, particularly because flooding usually affects scent markers that normally allow them to find their homes. The behavior of pets may change dramatically after any disruption, becoming aggressive or defensive, so be aware of their well-being and take measures to protect them from hazards, including displaced wild animals, and to ensure the safety of other people and animals.

223

HEAT WAVES

Heat Wave conditions can result in physiological strain, which could even result in death.

To minimize the impact during the heat waves and to prevent serious ailment or death because of heat stroke, you can take the following measures:

Do’s Don’ts

➢ Avoid going out in the sun, especially between 12.00 noon and 3.00 p.m. ➢ Drink sufficient water and as often as possible, even if not thirsty ➢ Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose, and porous cotton clothes. Use protective goggles, umbrella/hat, shoes or chapels while going out in sun. ➢ Avoid strenuous activities when the outside temperature is high. Avoid working outside between 12 noon and 3 p.m. ➢ While travelling, carry water with you. ➢ Avoid alcohol, tea, coffee and carbonated soft drinks, which dehydrates the body. ➢ Avoid high-protein food and do not eat stale food. ➢ If you work outside, use a hat or an umbrella and also use a damp cloth on your head, neck, face and limbs ➢ Do not leave children or pets in parked vehicles ➢ If you feel faint or ill, see a doctor immediately. ➢ Use ORS, homemade drinks like lassi, torani (rice water), lemon water, butter milk, etc. which helps to re-hydrate the body. ➢ Keep animals in shade and give them plenty of water to drink. ➢ Keep your home cool, use curtains, shutters or sunshade and open windows at night. ➢ Use fans, damp clothing and take bath in cold water frequently.

224

TIPS FOR TREATMENT OF A PERSON AFFECTED BY SUNSTROKE:

Lay the person in a cool place, under a shade. Wipe her/him with a wet cloth/wash the body frequently. Pour normal temperature water on the head. The main thing is to bring down the body temperature.

➢ Give the person ORS to drink or lemon sarbat/torani or whatever is useful to rehydrate the body. ➢ Take the person immediately to the nearest health center. The patient needs immediate hospitalization, as heat strokes could be fatal.

Acclimatization

People at risk are those who have come from a cooler climate to a hot climate. You may have such a person(s) visiting your family during the heat wave season. They should not move about in open field for a period of one week till the body is acclimatized to heat and should drink plenty of water. Acclimatization is achieved by gradual exposure to the hot environment during heat wave.

LANDSLIDES

We cannot stop disaster but minimize its impact by preparing ourselves better for landslides. Following are the precautionary measures for landslides in the form of do’s and don’ts as given below:

Do’s Don’ts

➢ Prepare tour to hilly region according to information given by weather department or news channel. ➢ Move away from landslide path or downstream valleys quickly without wasting time. ➢ Keep drains clean, ➢ Inspect drains for - litter, leaves, plastic bags, rubble etc.

225

➢ Keep the weep holes open. ➢ Grow more trees that can hold the soil through roots. ➢ Identify areas of rock fall and subsidence of buildings, cracks that indicate landslides and move to safer areas. Even muddy river waters indicate landslides upstream. ➢ Notice such signals and contact the nearest Tahsil or District Head Quarters. ➢ Ensure that toe of slope is no cut, remains protected, don’t uproot trees unless re-vegetation is planned. ➢ Listen for unusual sounds such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together. ➢ Stay alert, awake and active (3A’s) during the impact or probability of impact. ➢ Locate and go to shelters, ➢ Try to stay with your family and companions. ➢ Check for injured and trapped persons. ➢ Mark path of tracking so that you can’t be lost in middle of the forest. ➢ Know how to give signs or how to communicate during emergency time to flying helicopters and rescue team.

Don’ts

➢ Try to avoid construction and saying in vulnerable areas. ➢ Do not panic and loose energy by crying. ➢ Do not touch or walk over loose material and electrical wiring or pole. ➢ Do not built houses near steep slopes and near drainage path. ➢ Do not drink contaminated water directly from rivers, springs, wells but rain water if collected directly without is fine. ➢ Do not move an injured person without rendering first aid unless the casualty is in immediate danger.

226

EARTH QUAKE

Do’s & Don’ts

What to Do Before an Earthquake

➢ Repair deep plaster cracks in ceilings and foundations. Get expert advice if there are signs of structural defects. ➢ Anchor overhead lighting fixtures to the ceiling. ➢ Follow BIS codes relevant to your area for building standards. ➢ Fasten shelves securely to walls. ➢ Place large or heavy objects on lower shelves. ➢ Store breakable items such as bottled foods, glass and china in low, closed cabinets with latches. ➢ Hang heavy items such as pictures and mirrors away from beds, settees, and anywhere that people sit. ➢ Brace overhead light and fan fixtures. ➢ Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks. ➢ Secure water heaters, LPG cylinders etc., by strapping them to the walls or bolting to the floor. ➢ Store weed killers, pesticides, and flammable products securely in closed cabinets with latches and on bottom shelves. ➢ Identify safe places indoors and outdoors like, ➢ Under strong dining table, bed ➢ Against an inside wall ➢ Away from where glass could shatter around windows, mirrors, pictures, or where heavy bookcases or other heavy furniture could fall over ➢ In the open, away from buildings, trees, telephone and electrical lines, flyovers and bridges ➢ Know emergency telephone numbers (such as those of doctors, hospitals, the police, ect) ➢ Educate yourself and family members

227

Have a disaster emergency kit ready

➢ Battery operated torch with extra batteries ➢ Battery operated radio ➢ First aid kit and manual ➢ Emergency food (dry items) and water (packed and sealed) ➢ Candles and matches in a waterproof container ➢ Knife ➢ Chlorine tablets or powdered water purifiers ➢ Can opener. ➢ Essential medicines ➢ Cash and credit cards ➢ Thick ropes and cords ➢ Sturdy shoes

Develop an emergency Communication plan

➢ In case family members are separated from one another during an earthquake (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), develop a plan for reuniting after the disaster. ➢ Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the ‘family contact’ after the disaster; it is often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.

Help your community get ready

➢ Publish a special section in your local newspaper with emergency information on earthquakes. Localize the information by printing the phone numbers of local emergency services offices and hospitals. ➢ Conduct week-long series on locating hazards in the home. ➢ Work with local emergency services and officials to prepare special reports for people with mobility impairment on what to do during in earthquake. ➢ Provide tips on conducting earthquake drills in the home. ➢ Interview representatives of the gas, electric, and water companies about shutting off utilities.

228

➢ Work together in your community to apply your knowledge to building codes, retrofitting programms, hazard hunts and neighborhood and family emergency plans.

What to Do During an Earthquake

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake. Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks and larger earthquake might occur. Minimize your movement to a few steps that reach a nearby safe place and stay indoors until the shaking has stopped and you are sure exiting is safe.

If indoors

➢ DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under sturdy table or other piece of furniture, and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there is no a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building. ➢ Protect yourself by staying under the lintel of an inner door, in the corner of a room, under a table or even under a bed. ➢ Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, (such as lighting fixtures or furniture). ➢ Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place. ➢ Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and f you know it is a strongly supported, load bearing doorway. ➢ Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave ➢ Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.

229

If outdoors

➢ Do not move from where you are. However, move away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and utility wires. ➢ If you are in open space, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings; at exists; and alongside exterior walls. Most earthquake related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects.

If in a moving vehicle

➢ Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. ➢ Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake.

If trapped under debris

➢ Do not light a match. ➢ Do not move about or kick up dust. ➢ Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. ➢ Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
