Disaster management A collective term encompassing all aspects of planning for and responding to disasters, including both pre- and post-disaster activities. It may refer to the management of both the risks and consequences of disasters. District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) Hassan is exclusively Southern Malnad ,Semi Malnad & Southern Plateau district of Karnataka State and is exposed to multiple hazards, which may result in disaster if they are not controlled properly. Therefore , it is required to develop a comprehensive district disaster management plan (DDMP) to identify all possible hazards in the district, to ascertain mitigative measures , to formulate a response structure, to plan for rescue and rehabilitation and more importantly to develop standard protocol and checklist of activities. DDMP aims at the following ; To ascertain the inventory of existing resources and facilities available with the various agencies involved in the management of disaster in the district. Assess their adequacies and short falls if any in providing a multi disaster response. Suggest institutional strengthening, technology support, upgradation of information system and data management for improving the quality of administrative responses to disaster at the district level and finally. To evolve DDMP as an effective managerial tool to tackle the situation that may arise out of disaster. Need for DDMP In the absence of a defined plan response to a disaster would be arbitrary leading to over emphasis of some actions or other actions, which would be critical. Moreover, due to absence of a defined response structure and responsibilities allocations there would be mismanagement of resources and overlap of actions among various agencies, which may exacerbate the situation thereby compounding the disaster effect. A formal planning for managing disaster is therefore necessary to ensure minimization of hardship. This can be achieved only through; a) Preplanning of proper sequence of response actions. b) Allocation of responsibilities to the participating agencies. c) Effective management of resources, and d) Developing codes and standard operating procedures for smooth coordination between various departments and relief agencies involved. Objectives of ddmp The objectives of any DDMP should be to localize a disaster and to the maximum extent possible contain it so as to minimize the impact on life, environment and property. The DDMP has been formed keeping in view of past experiences, suiting to the needs under the able leadership of Deputy Commissioner and in co-operation of all other departments and public at large. The officers at in district level have come in several meetings and gave their valuable suggestions and tackled the problems most efficiently in a short while period keeping in inter departmental co-operation. Who formulates and carryout the plan ? The disaster management plan has been formulated starting from the village level upto the district level. The deputy commissioner, sub-divisional officer and thahsildar will head the management teams at their respective levels.
