District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Disasters occur with unfailing regularity in India causing immense loss of life, assets and livelihood. In the present structure of India, the district administration is bestowed with the nodal responsibility of implementing a major portion of all disaster management activities. The increasingly shifting paradigm from a reactive response orientation to a proactive prevention mechanism has put the pressure to build a fool-proof as well as fail-proof system, including, within its ambit, the components of prevention, mitigation, rescue, relief and rehabilitation.
Pre-disaster planning is critical for ensuring an efficient response at the time of a disaster. A well- planned and well-rehearsed response system can deal with the exigencies of calamities and also put up a resilient coping mechanism. Optimal utilization of scarce and valuable resources for rescue, relief and rehabilitation during times of crisis is possible only with detailed planning and preparation and timely execution. Keeping in mind the nodal role of the district administration in disaster management, preparation of District Disaster Management Plans (DDMP) is imperative. DDMP needs to be prepared on the basis of the vulnerability of the Dindori district to various disasters and the resources available.
The available Dindori District Disaster Management Working Plan was critically examined and a final DDMP is developed. The Document is comprehensive District Disaster Management Plan for Dindori District and supplemented with district specific issues.
This document might be helpful to the district authorities to plan for future disasters for a Disaster Free India.

District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The District Disaster Management Guidelines has been formulated by NIDM in consultation with eminent humanitarian assistance practitioners, civil society representatives and senior administrators in the country. The district administration is the focal point for implementation of all government plans and activities. Therefore, planning at the district level is crucial for efficient management of all disasters. DDMA has immense potential in proper rehabilitation of our marginalized sections and backward and needy areas after any type of disaster. They have the flexibility to respond quickly and efficiently at the local level and are often the first organized group to reach the disaster site. Professional and innovative interventions for disaster preparedness and mitigation at all level are now an increasing trend. In the paradigm shift in disaster management from post-disaster relief to pre-disaster preparedness, mitigation and improved emergency response capacities in the country, DDMAs have more competitive advantages and flexibility of operations in fields like awareness generation, community level preparedness and capacity building of communities, while the Government agencies have their core competencies in formulating rules, procedures, and regulations for structural safety, synergizing institutional commitments for disaster management and mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development projects. The Guidelines were also circulated to various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India and State Governments for their feedback. I am extremely grateful to the specialists and experts of leading SEEDS Technical Services in addressing my various concerns related to Disaster Management. At DDMA, I am extremely grateful to Ms. G. V. Rashmi, District Collector, Dindori District, Shri D. S. Parastey, Deputy Collector, Dindori District District Commandant Home Guard and other distinguished Members of DDMA who painstakingly went through the District Disaster Management Plan and made valuable suggestions to improve the Guidelines. I am grateful to the senior administrators from State Government and School of Good Governance and Policy Analysis, Bhopal (An Autonomous Institution of Government of Madhya Pradesh) for contributing to DDMP. I am grateful to Shri Akhilesh Argal, Director (Governance), Dr. S. M. Haider Rizvi, Director (Policy Analysis) at SGPA, Bhopal, Shri Gaurav Khare, Knowledge Management Officer, at SGPA, Bhopal, Shri Amit Tuteja, Consultant SEEDS Technical Services, Shri Sunish Jose, Consultant SEEDS Technical Services and other officers and staff of SGPA,

Source: Land Records Department, 2012 A 1.1.2 Geography and Topography The District lies on the plateau of Baghelkhand bounded by plateau of Chhattisgarh in the east, plateau of Malwa in the west, plateau of Rewa and Panna in the north, and Satpura Maikal region in the south. The district is traversed by the Maikal hill ranges running east west. Most of the district has an elevation of between 300 to 1100 m above MSL. Low-lying areas are in the narrow Narmada valley in the northern and eastern parts. In general, the district stretches across a geographically elevated position. Narmada river after originating from Amarkantak flows westward and meet Arabian Sea. Rivers in Dindori district are mostly seasonal and rainfed, receiving maximum water flow during the monsoon season. The non-monsoon flow in some perennial rivers is mainly due to flow from groundwater. Due to varied topographical, rainfall and climatic conditions in the district, the availability of water is not uniform spatially or temporally. There is an increasing demand of water for human consumption and agriculture etc. This coupled with scanty rainfall in past few years, has led to water scarcity which has become a major concern in the district. The post monsoon flow in most of the rivers is used for irrigation which further reduces the already reduced flow in the rivers. There is no big dams and reservoirs in the district. There are only 50 nos. of small dams, check dams and dykes in Dindori district. The forest cover of the district 230745.52 Hectares (Reserved 228584.72 Hectares, Protected 2160.80 Hectares). The major forest species includes Eucalyptus.

1.2 Scope and Ownership of District Disaster Management Plan
Any type of disaster, be it natural or manmade, leads to immense loss of life, and also causes damage to the property and the surrounding environment, to such an extent that the normal social and economic mechanism available to the society, gets disturbed. The Govt. of India, recognized the need to of a proactive, comprehensive, and sustained approach to disaster management to reduce detrimental effects of disasters on overall socio- economic development of country, and came out with Disaster Management (DM) Act 2005,
25
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
and highlighted the role and importance of District Disaster Management Plan. The Govt. of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) also believes that there is a need for a Disaster Management Plan in every district that articulates its vision and strategy for disaster management in the state. In this context the Madhya Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (MPSDMA) provides guidelines to various entities involved in disaster management in the state to discharge their responsibilities more effectively. Further, as per the DM Act, the District Disaster Management Authority to be formed in each district and it will be the nodal agency for preparation, functioning and review of the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP). The scope of district disaster management plan is very wide, and it is applicable in all the stages of disasters (before, during, after & non disaster time). The DDMPs can help officials in taking important decisions and also provide guidance to direct subordinates in emergency. The DDMP helps in saving the precious time, which might be lost in the consultations, and getting approval from authorities.
It will be the responsibility of the District Disaster Management Authority members to look after the district and sub district level institutionalization activities pertaining to the disaster management, including the periodic review of district disaster management plan and allied functions.
DDMP is an operational module for district administration (owned by the DDMA) and it helps to effectively mitigate the different types of disasters with locally available persons and resources. It also ensures a checklist for all the stakeholders for an action oriented response structure and to study their preparedness level.
A 1.2 Purpose of the Plan
To make the district safer, and respond promptly in a coordinated manner in a disaster situation, mitigate potential impact of disasters in order to save lives of people and property of the respective district.
A 1.3 Key Objectives 26
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Complying with the DM Act 2005, the objectives guiding the formulation of the plan are: Assess all risks and vulnerabilities associated with various disasters in the district Promoting prevention and preparedness by ensuring that Disaster Management (DM) receives the highest priority at all levels in the district. Prevention and minimization of loss of human lives and property by gearing up preparedness, prevention & mitigation of disasters To provide clarity on roles and responsibilities for all stakeholders concerned with disaster management so that disasters can be managed more effectively Assisting the line departments, Block administration, urban bodies and community in developing coping skills for disaster management & Ensuring that community is the most important stakeholder in the DM process. To strengthen the capacities of the community and establish and maintain effective systems for responding to disasters Developing convergence of action in addressing, preventing and mitigating disasters and to equip with maximum possible relief measures and to resort to pre-disaster, during and post-disaster steps. To establish and maintain a proactive programme of risk reduction, this programme being implemented through existing sectoral and inter-sectoral development programmes and Mainstreaming DM concerns into the developmental planning process. Encouraging mitigation measures based on state-of-the-art technology and environmental sustainability. To address gender issues in disaster management with special thrust on empowerment of women towards long term disaster mitigation Developing contemporary forecasting and early warning systems backed by responsive and fail-safe communications and Information Technology support. Encourage training and create awareness, rehearsals, dissemination of knowledge, and information on DM among all the citizens living in the district. Ensuring relief/assistance to the affected with care, without any discrimination of caste, creed, community or sex Undertaking reconstruction as an opportunity to build disaster resilient structures and habitat. Undertaking recovery to bring back the community to a better and safer level than the pre-disaster stage To develop disaster management as a distinct management discipline and creation of a systematic and streamlined disaster management cadre
27
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
A 1.4 District Plan Approach
The aim of the plan is to establish necessary systems, structures, programs, resources, capabilities and guiding principles for reducing disaster risks and preparing for and responding to disasters and threats of disasters in respective district, in order to save lives and property, avoid disruption of economic activity and damage to environment and to ensure the continuity and sustainability of development. The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach with emphasis on prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that Disaster Management receives the highest priority at all levels in the district. It has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of national and state level, from reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach is aimed to conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and property. For efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the Plan has been organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Non Before Disaster Disaster
After During Disaster Disaster
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation, leading to prevention & risk reduction.
Before disaster stage: Activities include preparedness to face likely disasters, dissemination of early warnings.
During disaster stage: Activities include quick response, relief, mobilization of search &rescue, damage assessment.
After disaster stage: Activities include recovery & rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.

B . HAZARD, VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND RISK PROFILING (HVRC)
B 1. Hazard Assessment
In Disaster Management, risk is measured in terms of loss of human lives, loss of capital, property like agricultural land, roads, structures, livestock etc. A hazard becomes a disaster only when it affects human settlements and causes loss of life and damage to property and cattle and such conditions which affects community life. In order to reduce the impact of such events through mitigation efforts, it is necessary to understand how such hazards become disasters. The extent of vulnerability of the area, people and property to a hazard or the probability of its occurrence defines the extent of risk. Vulnerability analysis and risk assessment therefore are essential elements for evolving appropriate preventive measures and mitigation strategies. The process of conducting a risk analysis is based on a review of both the technical features of hazards such as their location, intensity, frequency and probability; and also the analysis of the physical, social, economic and environmental dimensions of vulnerability and exposure, while taking particular account of the coping capabilities pertinent to the risk scenarios. It is required that a plan should be present that has the capability to handle all the possible disasters that have the potential of causing damage to the district in a way that the people are pre prepared to avoid any kind of casualties, and thus minimize the effects of the disaster. Major disasters that the district of Dindori is prone to are Flash flood, Earthquake, Fire, Road accidents, hailstorm, drought, epidemics (especially Malaria PF & PV), and Fire. Earthquake is also a threatening disaster as Shahpura Tehsil of Dindori lies in the Seismic Zone 3. 43

B 2 Vulnerability Analysis
Vulnerability analysis and risk assessment are essential for developing mitigation strategies and these analysis needs to come from the ground level to understand the locale specific situation. The Gram Panchayat, Block level and urban Area and Village level disaster management committee and their working plans will help in getting this information. District Disaster Management Authority is primarily responsible for developing and upgrading risk assessment and vulnerability analysis at district level. Special focus will be given to areas highly vulnerable to disasters triggered by climate change and other anthropogenic induced changes. It will engage the local bodies, NGOs and local community in order to develop a realistic base ground assessments. Working with Gram Panchayats, Block and the Zila Parishad, DDMA may periodically hold meetings to review local vulnerabilities or any signs of early warning of a potential disaster. Table B.2

Vulnerability Elements: Physical Vulnerability: It is present in Dindori district, As Every year Flash flood like situation arises in district, large number of Stop dams are also present in district. Due to heavy rainfall in July and Auugust months mainly Jogi Tikria, Deora, Dindori Ward No. 1-4, 7, 9 & 12 (Vulnerable by Narmada) Bargaon, Bichia (Vulnerable by Silgi & Choti Mahanadi) (Block Dindori, Shahpura) become risk prone. Physical Vulnerability is also present in other Block like Bajag, Karanjiya.
Natural Vulnerability: It is present in Dindori Tehsil. Due to illegal encroachment; the people living in low lying areas on both sides of Narmada river are at high risk due to Flash flood. Also people living in Dindori town are at risk of water logging problems due to chocking of drains due to indiscriminate use of plastics. Natural Vulnerability is present in other block like Bajag, Karanjiya etc. in forms of Snakebite and Lightning due to Non-Availability of medicines and quick medical assistance.
51
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Social Vulnerability: It is present in each block, as district is prone to Flash flood, Epidemic (both human and cattle), Snakebite Lightning, fire etc. Block Bajag and Karanjiya are prone to epidemic.
Economic Vulnerability: It is present in all blocks. As District is prone to epidemic, Flash flood, drought, Hailstorm that directly affect agricultural productivity which decrease livelihood options for villagers as their source of income is not permanent.
Institutional Vulnerability: There is strong need to create awareness among community regarding health and safety. Absence of Relief Team at village level creates a disastrous situation for villagers. Absence of Disaster management Committee at block, Gram Panchyat level, Village level worsen situation. There is health risk in blocks due to insufficient numbers of medical facilities in each block.

Both Hazard and Vulnerability are present. Only Vulnerability is present.
Dindori, newly formed hilly District (formed in 1998), erstwhile the Tehsil of Mandla District, of Madhya Pradesh is vulnerable to the natural and manmade disasters. The district is vulnerable to mainly 8 types of hazards out of several hazards. The major hazards to which the district is exposed to are FlashFlood, Draught, Hailstorm, Earthquakes, Forest Fires, Fires, Snake Bites, Lightning, Water logging, Epidemics of both human and cattle, Stampede, Road Accidents etc. Apart from the hazard prone geographical conditions, the district is also vulnerable due to the unplanned developments, growth in the population and temporary settlements in various areas. In the rural areas of the district it’s the lack of awareness among the rural communities and also their remoteness, which makes them more vulnerable to disasters. In addition to the natural causes, various manmade activities have also added the multiplier effect and created the imbalance in overall ecology of the area. All these factors have combined to turn this district into a unique region, affected by almost all the types of natural disasters. Brief overviews of some of these hazards are as follows:

Earthquake: The Shahpura Tehsil of Dindori district falls under Seismic Zone - III and the other parts of the district falls under Seismic Zone - II. The third highest vulnerable zone as far as seismic activity is concerned. There is no record of major earthquake in the district. Only in 1997, 2000 & 2001 slight tremor was felt. In 1997 the epicenter of the earthquake was Jabalpur. The district has got unplanned settlements and building structures not constructed as per the earthquake resistant designs and hence posing threat to a large section of community. Forest Fire Every year during fire-season i.e. March to June, most of the forest areas of Dindori district experience the incidence of Forest fires. These forest fires in some of the cases engulf hectares of forest area and destroy valuable forest resource and also affects environment directly and indirectly. Flash Flood Flash flood is a rapidly rising and flowing surge of water that results from mainly excessive rainfall. Flash floods usually occur with little or no warning and can reach at full peak within few minutes. In Dindori district the area traversed by Narmada, Silgi and Choti Mahanadi rivers is highly prone to flash floods. There is no record of major flood in the district. Hail Storm Every year mainly during summer-season i.e. March to June, Dindori district experience the incidence of Hail Storm. This Hail Storm in some of the cases destroys valuable agricultural resources such as crops and fruits and also affects environment directly and indirectly. Storm Dindori district falls in Moderate Damage Risk Zone (Vb = 44 m/s) as per Wind and Cyclone Zones in India. The district has got unplanned settlements and building structures not constructed as per the storm resistant designs and hence posing threat to a large section of community. Stampede Every year mainly during January and February months, Dindori district experience huge footfall due to Makar Sankranti and other festival. The most vulnerable areas for stampede are Amarkantak, Dindori, Malpur & Kutroi on the bank of river Narmada (Block Dindori, Karanjiya, Mehadwani).

District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Though there is no record of major accident due to stampede in the district except some small accidents. Drought The drought is a major problem for the district. In the year of 2000-01, 2002-03, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 the district has suffered drought as per agriculture department. Due to recent changes in the global climate in addition to the scarcity of water sources, dependence on rain water fed rivers for agriculture, less no. of check dams and less percolation of water inside soil due to rocky terrain, there is an observed drought situations and affects primarily the agriculturists. Snake Bite The Snake-Bite is a major problem for the district. Every year 40 lives on an average are claimed by snake bites. This hazard mainly occurs during rainy season. One of the main reasons for snake bite is stacking of fuel-wood and cow-dung cake inside the house to prevent it from rain, in which snakes generally tend to inhibit. Another important reason is travelling through the field in the dusk and after evening to take shortcut route to destination. Lightning It is another major problem for the district. Lightning claims several lives and livestock every year. This hazard mainly occurs during rainy season from June to September. Awareness among community is necessary to protect them from lightning to some extent.

C . DISTRICT LEVEL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLANNING
C 1 District Action Plans
C 1.1 Mitigation Plan
Disasters often disrupt progress and destroy the hard-earned fruits of painstaking developmental efforts, often pushing nations, in quest for progress, back by several decades. Thus, efficient management of disasters, rather than mere response to their occurrence, has in recent times, received increased attention both within India and abroad. This is as much a result of the recognition of the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters, as it is an acknowledgement that good governance in a caring and civilized society, needs to deal effectively with the devastating impact of disasters. On 23 December 2005, the Government of India (GOI) took a defining step by enacting the Disaster Management Act, 2005, (hereinafter referred to as the Act) which envisaged the creation of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister, State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs) headed by the Chief Ministers, and District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMAs) headed by the District Collector or District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner as the case may be, to spearhead and adopt a holistic and integrated approach to DM. There will be a paradigm shift, from the erstwhile relief-centric response to a proactive prevention, mitigation and preparedness-driven approach for conserving developmental gains and to minimize loss of life, livelihood and property. Unlike man-made disasters, natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, and cyclones cannot be avoided. However, with mitigation measures along with proper planning of developmental work in the risk prone area, these hazards can be prevented from turning into disasters. A multi-pronged approach needs to be adopted to undertake mitigation measures: 1) Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Mapping- As a first step towards addressing disaster vulnerabilities, the District disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Dindori need to carry out risk and vulnerability assessment of all disaster prone areas of the District Dindori. Hazard zone mapping and vulnerability analysis based on state vulnerability map should be prepared with past disaster experience mandatorily include a ground check component. As Dindori district is mainly prone to flash flood and drought. Also Dindori comes under the earthquake zone-III which is most likely to be in danger zone and simultaneously 61
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori] coal mining is running in the district. so it is important to identify the sensitive part of district through GIS and mining area, which is becoming hollow in underground and no major public infrastructure should be constructed on these areas. The increasing use of GIS, remote sensing and applications of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in DM, has made it imperative to set up a mechanism for sharing thematic and spatial data through a designated electronic clearing house. The NSDI has been set up by the Survey of India (SOI), to collect, compile, analyse and prepare value- added maps for use by various agencies in the field of DM for management of natural resources, industrial applications etc. 2) Structural Mitigation Measures Structural damage, collapse of buildings or infrastructure is common consequences of earthquake. Structural mitigation aims to reduce this damage and eventually save lives. Structural mitigation is a science that requires the expertise of civil engineers. It includes both the design of new buildings, roads, canals, dams, and other infrastructure and the strengthening and retrofitting of old structures. It is most important to ensure good maintenance of structures as poor maintenance is often the cause of indirect damage. The district shall take steps for structural mitigation of disaster management. The departments that are associated with development of residential and commercial plots shall strict the NOC norms. The Building codes shall be strictly enforced in the district. Only seismically oriented engineers, contractors and masons shall be given certificates for multi story constructions and real estates. Simultaneously retrofitting is to be promoted with the expert advice. The possible two structural measures for disaster protection are Repair & Retrofitting of the existing building and Earth Quake Resistant new construction Critical Infrastructure It is of utmost importance that critical infrastructures of Dindori District like collectorate, hospitals, schools bridges, police station, roads, railway lines, power station, water storage towers, irrigation canals and other civic utilities should be constantly monitored for safety standards in consonance with safety benchmarks and strengthened where deficient. As road is very critical infrastructure of the district so it is very important to Identify/repair of main and alternative routes .The public works department will be primary agency responsible of conducting structural assessment , retrofitting and renovation of important building. So as per the identification of road there should be timely repair of identified vulnerable points. Simultaneously it is highly important that the entire critical infrastructure should be earthquake resistant. From now onwards all the building and houses should
62
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori] be constructed earthquake resistant by following proper guidelines. Nagarpalika will be primary agency to monitor all these construction otherwise it should not allow the new construction in future. Retrofitting For an existing building, Retrofitting or Seismic Strengthening is the only solution to make it disaster resistant. In Dindori District, all lifeline buildings such as major hospitals, Schools with large space for storage, district administration offices and other vital installations shall be retrofitted in the first phase. In the second phase all other significant buildings shall be given priority for seismic strengthening. Before carrying retrofitting, a panel of experts shall be approached for assessing the structure and to suggest the type of retrofitting required 3) Environmentally Sustainable Development The Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board, Dindori need to go hand in hand for ensuring sustainability with environmental and developmental efforts. Eco systems of forests, agricultural, urban and industrial environment are also to be considered for restoration of ecological balances and sustainable development. Department of Pollution & Forest must ensure the preservation of natural habitats. All roads in the rural areas should be converted in to Pucca road. Irrigation department should concentrate on Strengthening and raising the height of weak embankments, points. It should have facility of Storage of flood fighting materials like sandbags, bamboo’s mats etc. There should be also provision of regular maintenance of bridges. 4) Guidelines for new construction As Dindori district comes under seismic zone-III for earthquake so it it is important that there should be strict guidelines issued from the district administration to construct earthquake resistant building. PWD department should also follow the guidelines for earthquake resistant construction of any government Building. From now onwards all the building and houses should be constructed earthquake resistant by following proper guidelines. Nagarpalika will be primary agency to monitor all these construction otherwise it should not allow the new construction in future. 5) Forecasting and Early Warning Systems It is most essential to establish, upgrade and modernise the forecasting and early warning systems for all types of disasters. The nodal agencies responsible for monitoring and carrying out surveillance, for specific natural disasters, will identify technological gaps and formulate projects for their up gradation, in a time-bound manner.
63
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
6) Communications Communication and sharing of up-to-date information using IT infrastructure remain important of effective implementation of the disaster management strategy. Reliable, up-to date and faster sharing of geo-spatial information acquired from the field or the affected areas is a pre-requisite for effective implementation of disaster management strategies. Efforts should be made for setting up IT infrastructures consisting of required IT processes, infrastructure and skills for quick up gradation and updating of data sets from the PRIs or the block. The DIO, Dindori will insure the above said work with the help of Govt. of India.

It will address and align the pertinent issues of construction (structural & non-structural elements), infrastructure, repair & maintenance, transport, sanitation, research & technology transfer and land use planning. Under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, provide for strengthening and maintenance of such physical features that may vitally protect/help in rescue of communities during disaster situations. Under this act maintenance and strengthen of dam, ponds etc. will take place and also it will provide the job to unemployed youth. Especially under the construction of smaller dam, stop dam, rural road rural youth can work under MNREGA and reduced the vulnerability. Addition to this during the time of disaster like flood or drought if any plan has been taken by Zila Panchayat for relief and construction of drains for reducing the impact of flood so this job can be implemented under MNREGA. Apart from this Unemployed youth can also work during disaster for relief work under MNREGA so that rescue & relief will be fast. Under Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) all the houses should be advised and instructed to construct earthquake resistant. Special instruction should be provided by district administration to block level and block will guide and instruct to Gram Panchayat for the construction of houses under Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) for earthquake resistant house construction. Thre training should be provided at gram Panchayat level for construction of small earthquake resistant houses under this scheme. This vulnerability due earthquake can be reduced.
64
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Under SSA (Serva Siksha Abhiyan) whatever schools are being constructed should be earthquake resistant by following the proper guidelines. This should be instructed from the district SSA office. Also awareness should be spread at Gram Panchayat level about earthquake-resistant house by education department. PDS system should be made very efficient and should play a critical role during the time of disaster. As the PDS have sufficient foods in stock for providing food during crisis. Under NRHM special attention should be given to the diseases like Falaria, Dengu, Chickengunia and jaundice in umaria district so that epidemics can be avoided.Under this scheme proper vaccination should be carried out by the district health administration through CHC and PHC. Apart from Special camp should be arranged at block level or Gram Panchayat level about awareness of diseases and how to be safe. Dotors should be trained to tackles the epedimic in that region. Under this scheme there should be doctors and stock of medicines related to the epidimics by which generally people of these areas are affected. The same way, under PMGSY (Pradhanmantri gram Sadak Yojna), proper communication should be established in Akash Koh area of Manpur block where transportation become vulnerable during rainy seasons. It should give special attention to the water logging area which is more affected during the rainly seasons. Roads should be constructed under this scheme in rural area for the proper communication from village to block. There are some are more affected during rainy seasons transportation become very difficult so these areas should get priority. In order to deal with the severe cases of Drought, the components of National Food Security Mission (NFSM) should also to be linked based on the relevance and according to the needs of the sufferers, in line with the criteria of the mission.

Community level trainings and public awareness activities, are conducted in partnership with PRADAN N.G.O and Madhya Pradesh Jan Abhiyan Parishad, Department under Govt. of Madhya Pradesh. C 1.1.3 Community Initiatives The community awareness and training activities will basically be carried out in the form of training programs through NGOs, Private Sector, and Government Training Institutions. Apart from spreading awareness of disasters, the focus will essentially be on community capacity building. Special focus will be given to local contractors, Government Contractors and masons, who are the prime responsible for construction work. Training programs will target the informal construction sector by building their capacities on safe construction practices and renovating and retrofitting of existing structures. An institutional arrangement is required to ensure that in the long term, contractors and mason ensure safe construction practices. Strict adherence to the rules of building construction as given in the manual is also to be ensured.
Primary agencies for community level training and public awareness are as follows:
Environment, Scientific & Technology department
Technical Education Department
NGO
Private sectors
The NGOs, private sector organisations and other government training institutions will, in turn, organise training and simulation exercises at the district and community level, in order to ensure preparedness from the grass-roots.
Mobilizing Community Efforts for Mitigation
The community needs to be encouraged to reduce the impact of the any forthcoming disaster. Demonstration housing units indicating the various technology features and options will be built by the Government/NGOs/Community. This should prioritize buildings like village offices, primary health centers, community centre, schools various lifeline buildings etc.
66
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
The objective of such activity will be to encourage local communities to undertake either at individual, household or community level to avoid loss of life, damage to property and crop.
C 1.1.4 Risk Management Funding
Financing of Relief Expenditures:
The policy arrangements for meeting relief expenditure related to natural disasters are, by and large, based on the recommendations of successive finance commissions. The two main windows presently open for meeting such expenditures are the Calamity Relief Fund (CRF) and National Calamity Contingency Fund (NCCF). The Calamity Relief Fund is used for meeting the expenditure for providing immediate relief to the victims of cyclone, drought, earthquake, fire, flood and hailstorm. Expenditure on restoration of damaged capital works should ordinarily be met from the normal budgetary heads, except when it is to be incurred as part of providing immediate relief, such as restoration of drinking water sources or provision of shelters etc., or restoration of communication links for facilitating relief operations. Of the total contribution, the Government of India contributes 75 per cent of the total yearly allocation in the form of a non-plan grant, and the balance amount is contributed by the State Government concerned. Pursuant to the recommendations of the Eleventh Finance Commission, apart from the CRF, a National Calamity Contingency Fund (NCCF) Scheme came into force with effect from the financial year 2000-01. NCCF is intended to cover natural calamities like cyclone, drought, earthquake, fire, flood and hailstorm, which are considered to be of severe nature requiring expenditure by the State Government in excess of the balances available in its own Calamity Relief Fund. The assistance from NCCF is available only for immediate relief and rehabilitation. Any reconstruction of assets or restoration of damaged capital should be financed through re-allocation of Plan funds. There is need for defining the arrangements in this regard. The initial corpus of the National Fund is Rs.500 crore, provided by the Government of India. This fund is required to be recouped by levy of special surcharge for a limited period on central taxes. An amount of about Rs.2,300 crore has already been released to States from NCCF.
Financing of Disaster Management Through Five Year Plans:
Although not specifically addressed in Five Year Plan documents in the past, the Government of India has a long history of using funds from the Plan for mitigating natural disasters. Funds are 11 67
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori] provided under Plan schemes i.e., various schemes of Government of India, such as for drinking water, employment generation, inputs for agriculture and flood control measures etc. There are also facilities for rescheduling short-term loans taken for agriculture purposes upon certification by the District/ State administration. Central Government’s assets/ infrastructure are to be repaired / rectified by the respective Ministry/Department of Government of India. Besides this, at the occurrence of a calamity of great magnitude, funds flow from donors, both local and international, for relief and rehabilitation, and in few cases for long-term preparedness/ preventive measures. Funds for the latter purposes are also available from multilateral funding agencies such as the WorldBank. There are also a number of important ongoing schemes that specifically help reduce disaster vulnerability. Some of these are: Integrated Wasteland Development Programme (IWDP), Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP), Desert Development Programme (DDP), Flood Control Programme, National Afforestation & Eco-development Programme (NA&ED), Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP), Crop Insurance, Sampurn Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY), Food for Work etc.
Initiatives Proposed by Various Bodies Regarding Financing Under the Plan:
References have recently been made to the role of the Plan in disaster management by the High Power Committee (HPC) on Disaster Management, as well as by the Eleventh Finance Commission. The HPC was constituted in 1999 and submitted its Report in October 2001. The HPC took an overview of all recent disasters (natural as well as manmade) in the country and identified common response and preparedness mechanisms on the basis of a series of consultations with a number of government, non-government, national and international agencies and media organisations. An important recommendation of the Committee was that at least 10 per cent of plan funds at the national, state and district levels be earmarked and apportioned for schemes which specifically address areas such as prevention, reduction, preparedness and mitigation of disasters. The Eleventh Finance Commission too paid detailed attention to the issue of disaster management and, in its chapter on calamity relief, came out with a number of recommendations, of which the following have a direct bearing on the Plan:
68
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
1. Expenditure on restoration of infrastructure and other capital assets, except those that are intrinsically connected with relief operations and connectivity with the affected area and population, should be met from the plan funds on priority basis 2. Medium and long-term measures be devised by the concerned Ministries of the Government of India, the State Governments and the Planning Commission to reduce, and if possible, eliminate, the occurrences of these calamities by undertaking developmental works 3. The Planning Commission, in consultation with the State Governments and concerned Ministries, should be able to identify works of a capital nature to prevent the recurrence of specific calamities. These works may be funded under the Plan C 1.2 Preparedness Plan
This section will primarily focus on preparedness of the communities and local authorities in order to safeguard lives, protecting assets and efficiently utilize resources by taking appropriate actions in the face of any disaster. The preparedness plan will further ensure that agencies are able to respond to the potential damage zones in a prompt and coordinated manner. In most disaster situations the loss of life and property could be significantly reduced through appropriate preparedness measures and warning system. It will be necessary that with respect to every disaster, the concerned agencies will be designated to issue the warnings. During this section, it will be ensured that the pre-disaster warning & alerts, preparedness before response and dissemination of warning, and evacuation activities have will be carried out in coordination with concern line departments.
C.1.2.1 Preparedness before response
The Preparedness plan is formulated before any type of disaster in order to reduce the possibility of the damage caused by disaster. It includes On Time Information, Resistive Plans, and Relief Plans etc. so that there will be minimum damage to the sensitive person and places and the disaster can be mitigated in influential manner. Disaster Management is a continuous process which includes various types of activities and resources in it. The active participation from various departments is necessary to formulate effective disaster management planning. The preparedness plan for Dindori district is as follows:
Establishment and activation of District Disaster Management Authority.
69
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Increasing the capacity at the district level and community level to mitigate the disaster in effective manner. Development and Continuous monitoring of Disaster Warning System. Development of Local Work Policy so that there will be minimum damage to the physical property and livelihood. Formation of Relief Team and imparting proper education to the involved officers and staffs in the team. Identification of potential hazards. Identification of sensitive population / families due to the potential hazards. Increasing Awareness and imparting proper training to the people and community living in disaster prone areas. Identification of locally available resources. Arranging and conducting training related to Primary Health, Primary Medicine, Community Welfare measures etc. Encouraging and developing community based disaster management plan. Establishment of Disaster Help Line. Imparting training and providing guidance to the Panchyat members. Imparting training to Tehsil level officers. Necessary modification of District Disaster Management Plan. Arranging and Conducting Mock Drills related to various applicable hazards. Ensuring pre-disaster warning & alerts, and dissemination of warning in coordination with concern line departments.
C.1.2.2 Pre-Disaster Warning, Alerts
The following agencies shall be responsible for keeping track of developments in respect of specific hazards assigned to them and inform the designated authorities/agencies at National, State and District levels about the impending disasters. All these agencies have developed guidelines for early warning of disasters. Table C. 1.2.2 The table below is for reference purpose; please make the appropriate one, according to your district.
70
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Hazards Prediction agencies Mode of communication, info. dissemination at district level
Flood Central Water Commission CWC has small regional establishment at Dindori district. Here the data regarding Rainfall, Wind Speed, Relative Humidity, Water Level of Narmada river, Water Discharge in Narmada, River water Temperature, Water Level, Evaporation Rate are measured on daily basis. These data are communicated to Bhopal twice a day through HF Static sets. Any flood or the water level related information is disseminated at district level from CWC office at Bhopal.
Drought Indian Meteorological No Regional Station is present. Department
Industrial SPCB, Deptt. of Industry No Industrial disaster has been reported so far.
Landslides Geological Survey of India Geological Survey of India issues alerts and warnings to all designated authorities and agencies of the Central Government and State Governments/ district Administration for landslides in four categories.
Cyclone Indian Meteorological 250 Cyclone Warning Dissemination System Department (CWDS) receivers have been established in vulnerable coastal areas using INSAT/METSAT. The system is being used extensively on operational basis during cyclone.The cyclone warning message is originated from Advanced Cyclone Warning Centres (ACWC) Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai whenever a storm is observed. Warning messages are received in local languages directly by CWDS receivers located in areas likely to be affected by the cyclone.

Earthquake Indian Meteorological IMD operates an Earthquake Operational Department Centre on a 24X7 basis with the operational responsibility of keeping a round-the-clock watch of seismic activity in and around the country. The Centre shall retrieve waveform data from remote field stations either in real time or through VSAT / dial up communication facilities, data analyses and quick dissemination of earthquake information to various user agencies including State and Central Government departments dealing with relief and rehabilitation measures.
C.1.2.3 Evacuation preparedness Evacuation of human population and livestock is the only prescribed means to save them from the fury of floods and other types of disasters. Evacuation of affected communities can be one of the most difficult response operations, especially, when it involves large population. Evacuation needs to be carried out as a precautionary measure based on warning indicators, prior to impact, in order to protect threatened persons from the full effects of the disasters. For carrying out successful evacuation, the threat perception on the part of DM officials is essential. Continuous dialogue with stakeholders such as, early warning providers, transportation authorities, health-care authorities/personnel, food and essential commodity suppliers, civil societies, NGOs and last but not the least, the communities including the Decision Support System (DSS) and inputs based on Geographical Information System (GIS) platform are essential for carrying out successful evacuation. Responsibilities of each organisation need to be fixed beforehand in the form of SOPs. Other important points that need to be considered for the development of evacuation plan including the action points, are listed below: 1. Designing department-specific customized action plans to save lives immediately following or before an emergency as per the local scale flood risk profile of the region and to respond to any eventuality or emergency. 2. Preparing plans of all the organizations involved in the emergency evacuation for all types of emergencies; validating plans; evaluating staff competency; testing the established emergency operational procedures. 3. Making on-line inventory of emergency relief resources available with the local government, public and corporate institutions for possible accessing during the emergency.
72

4. Evolving coordinated EEP institutional mechanism and triggering actions with joint partnership at the state / district level involving all concerned departments and agencies, armed forces, paramilitary forces, NDRF, SDRF, civil society, CBOs, PRIs, ULBs, Civil Defence (CD), etc. 5. Building confidence among the populace that their belongings will be protected when they are away from their own houses.
C.1.2.3 Organizing mock drills Mock drill is an integral part of the disaster management plan, as it is a preparedness drill to keep the community alert, activate DM Teams across the district and review & modification of DM plan. Mock Drills will be carried out in according to the identified/existing disaster of Dindori district. It is to be conducted atleast once in 6 months. For monitoring of the Mock Drills exercise the inspector or trainer will be appointed from the state. After every such Mock Drills necessary modification of the Working Plan will be conducted depending upon the advice of the Monitoring team. The various DM teams formed to handle different types of disaster will be given training keeping in view of their requirements. C 1.3 Response Plan Effective response planning requires realistic identification of likely response functions, assignment of specific tasks to individual response agencies, identification of equipment, supplies and personnel required by the response agencies for performing the assigned tasks. A response plan essentially outlines the strategy and resources needed for search and rescue, evacuation, etc. A response plan will be supplemented by relief management planning activities, including relief needs, transportation routes, coordination with local police, District, State, national and international relief teams, transport vehicles, alternative communication like HAM radios (in case of communication failures).
C 1.3.1 Disaster Emergency Response Force
District emergency response force comprises of members of Home Guard and District Reserve Police with respective department heads District Commandant, Dindori and Reserve Inspector, Dindori as Commander of respective force.

75
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Detailed Framework of Incident Command System
Source: Incident Response System Document, NIDM
All 5 major command functions (mentioned below) in Incident command system, to be followed:
1. INCIDENT COMMAND - Sets objectives and priorities, has overall responsibility at the incident or event
INCIDENT COMMANDER
The Incident Commander is the person in charge at the incident, and must be fully qualified to manage a big size complex incident. The Incident Commander may assign personnel for both Command Staff and a General Staff. The Command Staff provides information, safety, and liaison
76
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori] services for the entire organization. The General Staff are assigned major functional authority for Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration.
2. PLANNING SECTION - Develops the action plan to accomplish the objectives, collects and evaluates information, maintains resource status.
Briefly stated, the major activities of the Planning Section are to:
Collect, evaluate, and display information about the incident.
Develop Incident Action Plans for each operational period, conduct long-range planning, and develop plans for demobilization at the end of the incident.
Maintain resource status information on all equipment and personnel assigned to the incident.
Maintain incident documentation.
The Planning Section is also the initial place of check-in for any Technical Specialists assigned to the incident. Depending on their assignment, Technical Specialists may work within the Planning Section, or be reassigned to other incident areas. Several Planning Section Units may be established depending upon requirements.
3. OPERATIONS SECTION - Conducts tactical operations to carry out the plan, develops the tactical objectives, organization, and directs all resources.
The Incident Commander will determine the need for a separate Operations Section at an incident or event. Until Operations is established as a separate Section, the IC will have direct control of tactical resources.
When activation an Operations Section, the IC will assign an individual as the Operations Section Chief. The Operations Section Chief will develop and manage the Operations Section to accomplish the incident objectives.
There is only one Operations Section Chief for each operational period. That person is normally (but not always) from the jurisdiction or agency which has the greatest involvement either in terms of resources assigned or area of concern. The Operations Section Chief may have deputies from the same agency, or from other agencies often helps in the coordination of actions.
Within the Operations Section, two additional levels of organization can be used as necessary.
4. LOGISTICS SECTION - Provides support to meet the incident needs, provides resources and all other services needed to support the incident
77
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
The Logistics Section is responsible for all of the services and support needs of an incident, including obtaining and maintaining essential personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies.
The Incident Commander will determine the need to establish a Logistics Section on the incident. This is usually determined by the size of the incident, complexity of support, and how long the incident may last. Once the IC determines that there is a need to establish a separate Logistics function, an individual will be assigned as the Logistics Section Chief.
Six functional units can be established within the Logistics Section. If necessary, a two-branch structure can be used to facilitate span of control.
5. FINANCE / ADMINISTRATION SECTION - Monitors costs related to incident, provides accounting, procurement, time recording, and cost analyses.
The Incident Commander will determine if there is a need for a Finance/Administration Section, and designate an individual to perform that role. If no Finance Section is established, the IC will perform all finance functions.
The Finance/Administration Section is set up for any incident that may require on-site financial management. More and more, larger incidents are using a Finance/Administration Section to monitor costs.
Smaller incidents may also require certain Finance/Administration functions. For example, the Incident Commander may establish one or more units of the Finance/Administration Section for such things as procuring special equipment, contracting with a vendor, or for making cost estimates of alternative strategies.
The Finance Section may establish four units as necessary. Duties of each unit are covered in other modules. Not all of the units may be required, and they will be established based upon need.
C 1.3.4 Rapid damage assessment & reporting
Rapid Damage Assessment Team to be set up immediately after disaster. It should include Z.P. members, agricultural officer to assess the crop damage, executive engineer of PWD to assess the damaged houses, S.P to maintain the law and order situation, NGOs and volunteer organizations, Tahsildar, etc.
This team may immediately assess the damage undergone due to disaster and report it to the concerned department to get the immediate relief material from the government and also the foreign
78
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori] aid. Damage assessment procedures are required to avoid litigations and delays in gratuitous relief and compensation, including insurance.

District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Mortuary Facilities and disposal of Dead Bodies
The state will develop contingency plans to have sufficient mortuaries to preserve the dead bodies. After proper identification, dead bodies will be immediately disposed through district authorities, to prevent outbreak of an epidemic and environmental pollution. The District authorities shall earmark authorities responsible for disposal of carcasses in event of mass destruction. The process to be followed for mass disposal of carcasses shall be decided by Department of Animal Husbandry.
C 1.3.15 Civil Defense and Home Guards
Home Guards
The Home Guards serve as an auxiliary arm of the police force and support the district administration in various tasks. They will be trained for carrying out search, rescue and relief operations on occurrence of disasters.
Civil Defence
The community has a major role to play both as a victim and necessarily as a first responder. Integration of the CD organisation into disaster management can work as a great catalyst for organising community capacity building. CD has been authorised in 225 designated towns in the country out of which 121 have already been activated where volunteers have been recruited and trained. There is a plan to revamp CD, extending its coverage to all the districts in the country and assigning it an important role in DM framework. According to the proposal for revamping, the primary role of CD will be community capacity building and creating public awareness in predisaster phase. The proposal envisages converting the town specific setup of CD to a district specific set up. It is proposed to have 18 persons employed on full time basis in each district-specific set up, out of which eight will be the trainers and their duty will be to train volunteers. Till the revamping is finalised, states should start using the existing set up for training more and more volunteers and spreading awareness on the different aspects of DM. The state governments will also activate the remaining non-activated towns in a phased manner. The state governments/SDMAs and DDMAs will coordinate the human resources of the CD set up as well as those of other agencies for performing/responding to various disaster-related activities.
86
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
C 1.3.16 Role of Private Security As per the recent private security bill introduced by the State Govt, the private guards and security agencies have to play a very vital role in disaster management, and especially in the disaster response stage. Currently, there is no security agency operating in the district. Watchmen can play a role in monitoring the situation and assisting in relief operations. C 1.3.17 NGOs & Voluntary organizations
1. Role of NGOs towards PWDs during Immediate Response: During the immediate response phase, NGOs must take special care to attend to the needs of the disabled. Apart from the provision of relief entitlements, many of the disabled may require specific emergency health care support and in some cases even psychosocial care and support. 2. Community-based management and governance of services in disaster prone areas will be encouraged by DDMAs as one of the most preferred approaches to create an enabling environment for disaster related contingency planning, response and long term risk reduction. 3. GO-NGO coordination platforms like the District NGO Task Forces on Disaster Management will work out in advance Long Term Agreements with vendors for the emergency supply of relief supplies and work out modalities with PRIs to endorse or validate beneficiary lists, especially in cases where disasters have destroyed family documents such as BPL cards, ration cards and other identity cards in order to ensure no exclusion takes place and the most vulnerable are assisted. 4. NGOs involved in immediate response should exercise special efforts to identify people with disabilities and special needs immediately after disaster. Emergency search and rescue personnel must have knowledge on how to adapt search and rescue techniques to find and safely evacuate persons with different types of disabilities. 5. PWDs and other vulnerable groups are often more vulnerable to physical, sexual and emotional abuse when staying in shelters or camps due to their reduced ability to protect themselves or understand the situation. For this reason, NGOs involved relief camp management should orient relief staff and volunteers on ways to mitigate the risk of such situations. Some PWDs are more vulnerable to undernourishment in emergency situations due to difficulty in accessing rations, difficulty in eating rations, insufficient food quantities or poor reserve energy and pre-disaster general health conditions. NGOs distributing food relief should assess the PWD-specific needs for food relief in their area and make necessary arrangements to meet such needs.
87
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
6. All individuals including PWDs should be informed about the water sources and sanitation facilities available in relief shelters or camps and should be provided with information on prevention of water and sanitation related diseases by NGOs and Voluntary Organisations. Tube wells, hand pumps and water carrying containers should be designed or adapted for access to water quickly and easily. Temporary toilets in camps and shelters must be gender disaggregated. If PWDs are denied equal access to water sources or latrines due to discrimination, it may be necessary to monitor access or form separate queues. 7. NGOs involved in response phase should identify health problems as the first step towards responding to health needs of PWDs or people at risk of developing disability. PWDs should be referred to appropriate specialists in nearby medical centers. A referral procedure using existing resources should be used. Where referral centers will not be available during response phase, NGO should find resource persons who may able to provide basic care to PWDs (exercises, proper positioning for individuals with physical disability to prevent deterioration in movement, etc.).
Details of NGOs and CSOs are given in the Annexure.
C 1.3.18 Relief management planning
Ensuring minimum standards of relief and speedy management of supplies are important features of relief operations. SOPs will be put in place for ensuring the procurement, packaging, transportation, storage and distribution of relief items, which needs to be carried out in an organised manner. The affected community and local authorities need to work in tandem in managing the relief camps. Guidelines should be there to manage the donations received in cash or kind to ensure transparency and accountability. The following activities that need to be carried out as part of emergency relief measures and in the relief phase to implement the policy guidelines: 1. Search & Rescue: The first priority in the aftermath of a disaster is to minimise loss of lives by undertaking rescue efforts for the affected people and providing medical treatment. People who are trapped under destroyed buildings or are isolated due to floods need immediate assistance. The DDMA, in conjunction with local authorities will be responsible for the search and rescue operations in an affected region. In doing so, the DDMA will be guided by relevant disaster management plans and will be supported by Government departments and local authorities.
88
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
2. Subsistence, shelter, health and sanitation: The relevant Government departments and local authorities would provide temporary shelter, health and sanitation services to rescued victims in order to prevent an outbreak of disease. 3. Infrastructure and essential services: Disasters can cripple the infrastructure of the state in terms of roads, public buildings, airfields, ports, communication network etc. An immediate priority after a disaster is to bring the basic infrastructure into operating condition and deal with fires and other hazardous conditions that may exist in the aftermath of the disaster. The local authorities would work in close coordination with relevant Government departments like Police, State Disaster Response Force etc. to restore infrastructure to normal operating condition. 4. Security: Usually, in a disaster situation, the police and security personnel are preoccupied with conducting search and rescue missions. Some people could take advantage of the situation and resort to looting and other anti-social activities. Consequently, it is necessary that security agencies functioning under the administrative control of the district authorities be geared to prevent this and provide a sense of security to citizens. The Secretary, SDMA and DCs may invoke special powers vested in him/ her by GoMP, if existing powers regarding the same are inadequate. 5. Communication: The SDMA, the district administration and local authorities would communicate to the larger community the impact of the disaster and specific activities that are being or need to be undertaken to minimize the impact. Some of these activities could include: i). Media management/ PR: To ensure precise communication of the impact of disaster and relief measures being taken and generate goodwill among community and other stakeholders; ii). Community management: This includes communicating to the affected communities with a view to preventing panic reactions, while providing relevant information and handling welfare enquiries; iii). Feedback mechanisms: Using various mechanisms, including the communication network to get feedback on relief measures and urgent needs of various agencies involved in emergency relief measures and relief. 6. Preliminary damage assessment: In the aftermath of a disaster, the district administration and local authorities receive simultaneous requests for assistance from scores of people and the resources at the disposal of the local administration are overstretched. Hence, it is necessary to utilize and deploy the resources in the most efficient manner. Such deployment is not possible without undertaking a preliminary damage assessment. Once a disaster strikes, the Government departments
89
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori] and the local authorities shall carry out a preliminary ‘need and loss assessment’ and the district administration shall mobilize resources accordingly. 7. Funds generation: The GoMP allocates funds in the state Budget for relief activities. In addition, funds may be available through the State Disaster Response Fund (Calamity Relief Fund will be merged into SDRF). However, these funds may not be adequate to meet disaster management requirements in the aftermath of large-scale disasters. In such circumstances, the GoMP shall explore additional sources of funding through aid, grants, loans etc., as identified in the pre-disaster phase. 8. Finalizing relief payouts and packages: Relief packages shall be customized, if required, to the specifics of the disaster by the GoMP. Relief packages would include details relating to collection, allocation and disbursal of funds to the affected people. Relief would be provided all the affected families without any discrimination of caste, creed, religion, community or sex whatsoever. 9. Post-relief assessment: MPSDMA, with assistance from Government departments, district administration and local authorities will document learning from the relief experience, which can be inputs into further mitigation, relief or rehabilitation and reconstruction plans.
C 1.3.19 Media Management Media throughout the world play a vital role in educating the public about disasters, warning of hazards, gathering and transmitting information about affected areas, alerting government officials, relief organizations, and the public to specific needs, and facilitating discussions about disaster preparedness and response. Timely, accurate and sensitive communications in the face of natural hazards are demonstrated, cost-effective means of saving lives, reducing property damage, and increasing public understanding. Such communications can educate, warn, inform, and empower people to take practical steps to protect themselves from natural hazards. The general guidelines for Media Management during various phases are as follows: Disaster Management Organizations should seek to develop working relationships with the media based on mutual trust and the recognition of differing characteristics, goals, and needs. Regular, effective communication among these disparate groups, before, during, and after disaster "events" can greatly enhance those relationships. Disaster Management Organizations should seek to provide reliable information to the media, as early as possible, in a concise and readily understandable form, and linked, where possible, to newsworthy events. 90
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Disaster management Organizations should seek to identify and communicate specific themes and messages, both through the mass media and in other alternative forms of communication. Media and Disaster Management Organizations should take advantage of opportunities to work together, to provide relevant training for reporters and field personnel to enhance disaster preparedness, mitigation and relief efforts and the timeliness, quality, and accuracy of reporting about natural hazards. Media Organizations should address disaster prevention and reduction in coverage relating to disasters. Disaster Management Organizations and the media should identify and communicate to the public specific measures that have either succeeded or failed to reduce the impact of natural hazards. Media organizations are encouraged to evaluate their reporting about natural hazards and disaster preparedness, and, where appropriate, to work with Disaster Management Organizations to improve the quality, accuracy, and thoroughness of such reporting.
C 1.3.20 Fire Services
Fire Service Department is a humanitarian service dedicated to saving of life and property of the public. Fires are classified according to the type of fuel that is burning. The four different fire classifications are as follows:
Class A (Wood, Paper, Cloth, Trash, Plastic) Solid Combustible materials that are not metals
This type of fire generally leaves an ash. Class B (Flammable liquids like petrol, diesel, kerosene, oils, grease, acetone) Any non-metal in a liquid state on fire This type of fire involves materials that boil or
bubble. Class C (Electrical: Energized electrical equipment) This type of fire generally deals with an electrical current. Class D (Metals: Sodium, Aluminum, Potassium, Magnesium, Zirconium)
Aims & Objectives of Fire Service Departments:
Prompt response to fire calls and other emergencies like floods, earth quakes etc. 91
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
To issue No Objection Certificate for fire hazardous places. Basic Fire Prevention training to security personnel at Fire Hazardous places. Creation of public awareness on fire prevention for various sections of society. Assistance and advice on conducting Fire Drills. To provide awareness in public about the Fire Safety measures. To provide standby fire-safety arrangements at large gatherings by charging a nominal amount. To provide the ambulance service for rushing the sick and the injured to hospitals at a nominal charge. To educate and train people in fire prevention and fire fighting. Rescue persons involved in the emergency. Improvement of Fire and Rescue Services. Strive to save life and property by going promptly to the spot of fire. Promote interactions within the department to achieve high Degree of Professional excellence.
C 1.4 Recovery and Reconstruction Plan
Process of Reconstruction and Rehabilitation The Process of Rehabilitation had three major stages: I: Principles and Planning, II: Implementation and III: Ensuring Sustainability.
Stage I: Principles and Planning The first task is setting up the basic principles for planning the rehabilitation intervention. The intervention has to be participatory, with a gradual increase in the involvement of the community. The program should be flexible with sufficient buffers for time and resources allowed in the overall project schedule. Rehabilitation should be empowering. The Project Team would not, and should not, remain with the community forever. In such a case, the community who are the first responders should be sufficiently equipped to cater to their immediate needs. A well-planned rehabilitation exercise can significantly increase the capacity of the community for a more effective response. Incorporating the principles stated above, an overall plan evolves. This plan has three parts: the Strategy Plan, the Community Action Plan and the Implementation Plan. The role of the Project Team is to facilitate the reconstruction process. The composition of the team is therefore very important.
Stage II: Implementation
92
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
This Implementation Stage of the project consists of three steps: (1) Need Assessment, (2) Capacity Building, and (3) Implementation. In Step 1, emphasis will be placed on the following features: (1) recognizing the community’s needs, (2) prioritization of needs as per the available resources, and (3) translating needs into appropriate action jointly with the community. The role of government at this stage of the exercise will provide a recognized legal basis for working in the community. Step 2 will aim to translate the plan into action. Step 3 will focus on joint implementation. Project implementation components include reconstruction of houses and infrastructure as well as training programs. Stage III: Ensuing Sustainability The effort initiated by the Project Team need to be sustainable long after the interventions are over. In effect, intervention should be designed to ensure that the community is able to take care of its development needs and is resilient against future disasters. For this, strengthening local institutions is necessary. C 1.4.1 Restoration of basic infrastructure After the assessment of the damage due to the disaster, the restoration of infrastructure should be taken up in order to bring normalcy in the affected area. As per the existing laws and regulations, compensation shall be paid to the victims to support their restoration of infrastructure and to help them get back to normal life. Basic Public infrastructure should be quickly reconstructed in affected area and it should take into account DRR techniques. C 1.4.2 Reconstruction of damaged buildings/social infrastructure Reconstruction of damaged buildings will be addressed and supported through the advance tools like Insurance, Short-term Loans, and by any other important means, which are affordable. Houses should be reconstructed in the disaster hit areas: Owner Driven Reconstruction Public Private Partnership (PPP) Program Insurance. Financial, technical and material assistance provided by the government. The designs for seismic reconstruction of houses provided by the government. The material assistance provided through material banks at subsidized rates.

C 1.4.4 Psycho-social interventions Disasters cause tremendous mental trauma to the survivors. Psychosocial support and mental health services should be made available immediately in the aftermath of disaster so as to reduce the stress and trauma of the affected community and facilitate speedy recovery. The following measures shall be undertaken by district: A Nodal Mental Health Officer shall be designated for District. Rapid needs assessment of psycho-social support shall be carried out by the Nodal Officer/ Health Department. Trained man power for psycho-social and mental health services shall be mobilized and deputed for psycho-social first aid and transfer of critically ill persons to referral hospitals. Psycho-social first aid shall be given to the affected community/population by the trained community level workers and relief and rescue workers. Psycho-social first aid givers shall be sensitized to local, cultural, traditional and ethical values and practices. Psycho-social support and mental health Services shall be arranged in relief camps set-up in the post disaster phase. Where large number of disaster victims have to be provided psychosocial support a referral system for long term treatment shall be followed. 94
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
The services of NGOs and CBOs may be requisitioned for providing psycho-social support and mental health services to the survivors of the disasters. Community practices such as mass prayers, religious discourse etc. should be organized with four preventive and promotive mental health services. There is currently no Trauma Centre in the district.

C 1.5.3 Addressing climate induced anthropogenic issues
India Meteorological Department (IMD) has been monitoring several parameters like temperature, rainfall, humidity and pressure for monitoring climate change over more than 100 years through a network of stations all over India. Atmospheric turbidity is measured from mid-seventies. Acidic components of atmosphere emanating from the industrial emissions manifested in the form of acidic components of sulphates and nitrates in rainwater have been monitored for the last 30 years. The Survey of India (SoI) has been monitoring sea-level through its network of tide-gauges installed over the Indian coasts. The important observations reported based on the analysis of the available data are as follows:
Measurement of atmospheric turbidity (attenuation of incoming solar radiation) has shown a steady increase as result of anthropogenic activities. Analysis of chemical composition of rainwater has also shown increasing acidic content in many parts of the country as a consequence of increased industrial / vehicular activity (SO₂ and NOₓ).
97
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Although total column ozone has not shown any significant variation, a moderate increase in low level ozone concentrations is observed as a result of pollutants. Mean annual surface air temperatures show a significant warming of about 0.5⁰C during the last century and recent data indicates a substantial acceleration of this warming after the 1990’s. The spatial distribution of temperature changes indicated a significant warming trend observed along the west coast, central India and interior peninsula and over northeast India. However, cooling trend has been observed over northwest India and some parts in southern India. The year 2006 was the warmest year on record since 1901. The ten warmest years on record are 2006, 2002, 2007, 1998, 2004, 2001, 2003, 1958, 1987, and 1941. As per the analysis of recent 50-year rainfall data on regional scale, it indicates an increasing trend in intense rainfall over east-central India along with decrease in number of rainy days. However, on all India scale, the monsoon season rainfall quantum does not show any long term trend. Indian scientists have studied local sea level rise at various places from long-term Indian Tide gauge data, which indicates the observed trends during the past century to be about 1mm/year.
The Action Plan for mitigating the effects of climate change is as follows:
Policies and Actions for Climate Change Mitigation Sharing of best practices on nationally appropriate mitigation actions (e.g. energy, waste management and transport). Capacity building for developing CDM projects including DNA and stakeholders. Sharing of best practices on sustainable forest management based on experiences.
Policies and Actions for Technology Transfer Technology needs assessment including R&D and capacity development. Assessing barriers to technology development for adaptation and mitigation options.
98
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Finance and Investment Methods for assessing financing needs to deal with climate change in the short, medium and long term. Climate change projects should be given priority and be financed as per SAARC norms. Determine the quantum of additional funding required to implement the action plans. Education and Awareness Development of a tool kit on mass awareness raising on climate change. Incorporating climate change awareness in educational curricula. Management of impacts and risks due to climate Change Climate risk modeling and capacity building in the region on impact assessment of climate change. Sharing of information and capacity building in the management of climate change impacts and risks through cooperation among states in early forecasting, warning and adaptation measures. Cooperation amongst states in exchange of information on climate and climate change impacts (e.g. sea level rise, glacial melts, droughts, floods, etc.). Cooperation and sharing of good practices in disaster management. Priority Action Plan Involvement of the mass media on climate change issues with adequate information. Capacity building for CDM Projects. Exchange of information on disaster preparedness and extreme events. Exchange of meteorological data. To consider capacity building and exchange of information on climate change impacts (e.g. Sea level rise, glacial melting, biodiversity and forestry). Mutual consultation in international negotiation process. Source: Website http://dst.gov.in/whats_new/press-release08/climate-IMD.htm as accessed on 15.06.2012

Do’s and Don’ts
EARTHQUAKES
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 people sit.
Brace overhead light and fan fixtures.
Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks.
Secure a water heater, LPG cylinder etc., by strapping it to the wall studs and bolting it 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. 146
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
1. Under strong dining table, bed
2. Against an inside wall
3. Away from where glass could shatter around windows, mirrors, pictures, or where heavy bookcases or other heavy furniture could fall over
4. In the open, away from buildings, trees, telephone and electrical lines, flyovers,
bridges
Educate yourself and family members
Know emergency telephone numbers (doctor, hospital, police, etc)
Have a disaster emergency kit ready
Battery operated torch
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
147
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
1. 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.
2. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the 'family contact' After a disaster, it's 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
1. 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.
2. Conduct a week-long series on locating hazards in the home.
3. Work with local emergency services and officials to prepare special reports for people with mobility impairments on what to do during an earthquake.
4. Provide tips on conducting earthquake drills in the home.
5. Interview representatives of the gas, electric, and water companies about shutting off utilities.
Work together in your community to apply your knowledge to building codes, retrofitting programmes, 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 a larger earthquake might occur. Minimize your movements to a few steps to 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 a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there isn’t 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.
148
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
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 if you know it is a strongly supported, loadbearing 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.
DO NOT use the elevators.
If outdoors
Stay there.
Move away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and utility wires.
Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits, 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.
After an earthquake
Keep calm, switch on the radio/TV and obey any instructions you hear on it.
149
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Keep away from beaches and low banks of rivers. Huge waves may sweep in.
Expect aftershocks. Be prepared.
Turn off the water, gas and electricity.
Do not smoke and do not light matches or use a cigarette lighter. Do not turn on switches. There may be gas leaks or short-circuits.
Use a torch.
If there is a fire, try to put it out. If you cannot, call the fire brigade.
If people are seriously injured, do not move them unless they are in danger.
Immediately clean up any inflammable products that may have spilled (alcohol, paint, etc).
If you know that people have been buried, tell the rescue teams. Do not rush and do not worsen the situation of injured persons or your own situation.
Avoid places where there are loose electric wires and do not touch any metal object in contact with them.
Do not drink water from open containers without having examined it and filtered it through a sieve, a filter or an ordinary clean cloth.
If your home is badly damaged, you will have to leave it. Collect water containers, food, and ordinary and special medicines (for persons with heart complaints, diabetes, etc.)
Do not re-enter badly damaged buildings and do not go near damaged structures.
Flood
Before a Flood to prepare for a flood, you should:
Avoid building in a flood prone area 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, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering the homes in your area.
150
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
Seal the walls in your basement with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.
During a Flood If a flood is likely in 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 do the following:
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.
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.
Do 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.
Driving Flood Facts
The following are important points to remember when driving in flood conditions:
Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling.
A foot of water will float many vehicles.
Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUV’s) and pick-ups.
After a Flood
151
District Disaster Management Plan [Dindori]
The following are guidelines for the period following a flood:
Listen for news reports to learn whether the community’s water supply is safe to drink.
Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.
Avoid moving water.
Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a vehicle.
Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company.
Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.
Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.
Use extreme caution when entering buildings; there may be hidden damage, particularly in foundations.
Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.
