Risk Management is a fundamental facility geared to the evolution of schemes for reducing but not necessarily eliminating.. For flooding events, there is a need to calculate the probability or likelihood that an extreme event will occur and to establish and estimate the social, economic and environmental implications should the event occur under existing conditions. Flood-prone areas of the district have been identified. A participatory process has been outlined, leading to the development of an acceptable level of risk. Measures can be evaluated and implemented to meet this level. Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disaster. India is one of the highly flood prone countries in the world. Around 40 millions hectare land is flood prone in the India as per the report of National Flood commission. Floods cause damage to houses industries, public utilities and properties resulting in huge economic losses, apart from loss of lives. Though it is not possible to control the flood disaster totally, by adopting suitable structural and non structural measure, the flood damages can be minimized. For planning any flood management measure latest, reliable, accurate timely information is required. Also such calamity spouse itself with serious devastation to transportation, communication channel, supply of electricity etc. Hence, in the immediate after math any calamity, the surrounding environment becomes dangerous and safe due to its exposure to toxic and harmful objects. World as a whole experienced the devastation caused by endemic spread of Covid-19 and this district is not exception to it. To fight the challenge posed by this dreaded disease, district administration has evolved a strategy by involving different stakeholders. An effective system of incident command, quarantine facilities, isolation locations, containment areas and establishment of shelter homes for the needy was developed to effectively manage the situations arisen and out of this endemic. This experience will defiantly help the district administration in dealing with any disaster, if occurred in future. The learning of this experience have been incorporated in this Flood Control order. District Flood Control Room will be established, as well as front line departments of the district will also establish Flood Control Room in their respective departments. Roles and responsibilities of each department have been identified so that situation of flood, if occurs, could be tackled without any problem. District Administration is well prepared to handle any eventuality due to flood for heavy downpour. I have full confidence in my people and officers/officials that they are capable of facing any challenge. May these efforts help the actual people for whom it is intended i.e. the victims of Disaster in Panchkula District.
