INTRODUCTION DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN – 2017 TIRUVALLUR DISTRICT Disaster:- Disaster means a catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence affecting any area from natural and 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 and magnitude as to be beyond the capacity of the community of the affected areas. Disaster Management:- Disaster management is a process or strategy that is implemented when any type of catastrophic event takes place. Sometimes referred to as disaster recovery management, the process may be initiated when anything threatens to disrupt normal operations or puts the lives of human beings at risk. Governments on all levels as well as many businesses create some sort of disaster plan that make it possible to overcome the catastrophe and return to normal function as quickly as possible. Disaster threatens sustainable economic development worldwide. In the past twenty years, earthquakes, floods, tropical storms, tsunami, droughts and other calamites have killed millions of people, inflicted injury, disease and caused homelessness and misery to around one billion others in the world. These have caused damage to infrastructure worth millions of rupees. Disaster destroys decades of human effort and 8 investments, thereby, placing new demands on society for reconstruction and rehabilitation. Disaster management thus requires a multidisciplinary and proactive approach. The community, civil society organizations, media and the proverbial man on the street, everyone has to play a role in case such exigency occurs. The various prevention and mitigation measures outlined below are aimed at building up capabilities as also how to deal with disasters. 1.1 OBJECTIVE The objective of a Disaster management plan is to localize a Disaster and contain its effect to the greatest extent so as to minimize its impact on life, environment and property. Response to any disaster, in the absence of a well-defined plan, would be arbitrary, leading to overemphasis of some actions and absence of other critical actions. A formal plan for managing Disaster is therefore necessary. This Disaster Management Plan has a strong preparedness focus which aims at reducing our vulnerability to disasters and at the same time, it includes a plan of action/response mechanism for dealing with earthquakes, floods, cyclones, tsunami, epidemics, industrial and chemical accidents, road accidents and fires. 9 This document provides basic information required for the management of disasters in Tiruvallur District by: • Defining the Risks and Vulnerabilities of citizens of the district to different disasters; • identifying private and public sector stakeholders with prime and supporting responsibilities to reduce or negate these vulnerabilities • Defines actions to be taken by these parties to avoid or mitigate the impact of possible disasters in the district. • Through Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of Line Departments detailing how specific disaster response actions will be accomplished. • Developing and maintaining SOPs are the responsibility of parties with designated prime or supporting tasks assigned by this plan. • Keeping in view all the possible aspects of the aforesaid problem in mind and to keep the Administration prepared in all possible ways to respond properly to various Disaster situations with minimum delay, possible Disaster situations have been identified and the component plans have also been identified & mentioned in detail in this document. (A)Natural Calamities Floods Cyclone Earthquake Tsunami Fire Drought 10 (B) Man Made Disasters Industrial Disaster Radiological Disaster Accidents (Railways, Road, Air) Building Collapse Bomb Blast (Terrorist Acitivites) Stampede at crowded Places Food Poisoning etc., The mode, degree and extent of response to fight out any Disaster depend upon the nature, degree and extent of Disaster, but some points are common to all kinds of situations. For example, first and foremost, appropriate and adequate steps for preventing the disaster should be undertaken. Secondly, preparedness is required to contain the damages and casualties resulting from the Disaster. Thirdly, steps for rehabilitation and restoration of community life within a reasonable time should be focused on. Hence, some necessary and common steps are as below: Establishment of Central Control Rooms and capacity enhancement of Emergency Operation Centers. District Disaster Management Committee to meet post early warning or immediately post disaster occurrence. A general line of action and some special duties to various officers and departments will have to be assigned, keeping in mind a timeline for finishing specific tasks. Voluntary Organizations may have to be involved and their role will have to be clearly specified and coordinated. Media may have to be briefed to suppress all kinds of rumors. 11 Information regarding resource inventory of Health Services, Transport Services, Evacuation & Rehabilitation Centers and Food etc. needs to be kept handy so that resources can be deployed where required. Consistent follow-up of relief operations and constant reporting of pre and post disaster work. Broad guidelines have been given in the following pages and "Standard Procedure" has been formulated which is to be adhered to by all concerned. Once the Disaster take place and the authorities are informed of the same, they will take the necessary action with the help of the individual Disaster management plans prepared for the respective Disaster/situations. The main objectives of various preparedness measures
