  • Chengalpattu District
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.

  • Analysis of Road Traffic Accidents on NH45, Kanchipuram District (Tamil Nadu, India)
    4th IRTAD CONFERENCE 16-17 September, 2009, Seoul, Korea Analysis of Road Traffic Accidents on NH45, Kanchipuram District (Tamil Nadu, India) Ravishankar Rajaraman INDIA, JP Research, [email protected] ABSTRACT With the support and cooperation of the Kanchipuram district police and Tamil Nadu police, researchers conducted detailed investigations of accidents occurring on the National Highway 45 over a 60 km stretch. The primary objective was to collect and analyze India-based traffic crash data to begin to create a sound basis for decision making for improving safety on India’s roadways. A secondary objective was to establish a standardized methodology for collecting and analyzing crash data, specific to Indian roads. For the 45 day study period, an accident intimation network was established between researchers and all police stations/highway patrols in the study area. On occurrence of an accident, police called a 24-hour contact number and researchers responded to the scene. On site, researchers used standardized reporting forms, methodologies, and equipment to perform accident scene examinations, accident vehicle examination, and AIS injury coding. The collected accident data was categorized first by single- or multiple-vehicle crash and next by accident type based on the first accident event. The data was then analyzed to identify accident (crash type, location time), vehicle (vehicle type, pre-crash condition), occupant (restraint use, gender, age) and other contributing factors, and environmental factors associated with injury severity. Findings show that front-to-rear collisions, mainly involving heavy trucks and buses, caused due to slowing down, stopping, breaking down or overtaking account for 59% of the accidents.

  • Panoramic Analysis on Ground Water and Landuse in Acharapakkam Mini Water Shed Using Arc Gis
    Proceedings of the 10th Intl. Conf.on Hydroscience & Engineering, Nov. 4-7, 2012, Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. PANORAMIC ANALYSIS ON GROUND WATER AND LANDUSE IN ACHARAPAKKAM MINI WATER SHED USING ARC GIS Dr. R. Raja1, C. Uvaraj2 , J. Banuchandar3, G. Sathesh4 ABSTRACT The watershed is a logical unit for the efficient management of water resources in any regions. Along with water, other natural resources, such as soil, vegetation, project planning and biota, can also be managed efficiently by adopting an integrated watershed management approach. Decreasing water availability per capita in more and more countries is the result of inefficient management over the past centuries. The ‘world water crisis’, however, is not inevitable. The study area is demarcated as mini watershed, namely ‘Acharapakkam mini watershed’ for detailed investigation by geochemical approach and the Groundwater assessment estimation. The Acharapakkam mini watershed falls in Varahanadhi major basin of Ongur river sub basin. Administratively this watershed falls in Kancheepuram district in major portion and one village falls in nearby Villupuram district. The details are furnished in the following statement. The study area includes fourteen villages. Eight villages are in Chithamur block, Cheyyur taluk and Kancheepuram district. Five villages are in Acharappakkam block, Madhurantagam taluk and Kancheepuram district. Remaining one village is in Olakkur block, Tindivanam taluk and Villupuram district. All villages are come under Varahanadhi basin and Ongur sub basin. Reconnaissance survey of the study area during January 2008 provided an opportunity for fixing tentative locations for and water samples. The study area is comprised of barren lands, villages and agricultural fields apart from the fast developing urbanizing area, where both bore wells and open wells are being used for extracting water.
