Districts level authorities to develop a comprehensive and holistic disaster management plan to negate the impact of the disasters on the communities to facilitate and effective response to the disaster and to facilitate holistic disaster management through integration of mitigation, preparedness and DRR measures into development process. India has different geographical characteristics and hazard scenarios in different regions whichbecomes more complex due to varied socio-economical settings. For each scenario, the Plan would be different to effectively deal with the complexities of the region. Therefore, Jammuand Kashmir State Disaster Management Authority always advocated that for differentscenarios and contexts model DDMPs should be made which would serve as guidance forsimilarly vulnerable Districts. Baramulla district was chosen due to its multi hazard profile of recurrence of floods, drought, earthquake (Zone-V), landslides, fire incidents, avalanches, harsh winters, storms and the prevalence of socio-economic vulnerabilities. I appreciate the efforts of District Advisory Committee, Baramulla and Sphere India for drafting the guidelines in line with the guiding principles through proactive participation. I would also like to appreciate the guidance of district key officials and other subject experts in this endeavor. I am extremely pleased with the deep involvement, support and cooperation of various stakeholders from community, line departments and other important groups in the preparation of the DDMP. I am hopeful that the District Disaster Management Plan would enable the district authorities and stakeholders to better prepare for Disaster, manage Disaster, mitigate risk and minimize adverse impact of Disaster. Baramulla Chairman District Disaster Management Authority 6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS At the outset, I must express my sincere thanks to all the members of District Advisory Committees for their invaluable contribution and whole-hearted cooperation to guide the process of developing the District Disaster Management Plan. But for conceptualization, active guidance as well as high standard of the technical inputs and feedbacks from them, it would have not been possible to bring out this much needed Plan for holistic management of disasters in Baramulla. I would like to appreciate the efforts of Sphere India for the execution of ideas and benchmarks set by the Advisory Bodies. I also like to place on record my gratitude and appreciation to all the individuals of various stakeholders group who have participated in various consultations and
