The aim of the plan is to make our district safer, adaptive and more disaster-resilient. It includes sophisticated measures that will be implemented for the short, medium and long term mitigation programs. The plan acts as a manual for disaster preparedness of the district and is prepared to guide all stakeholders of DDMA – Anantnag and the public in general at all levels of disaster preparedness and mitigation activities to respond to all kinds of disasters/calamities. Although, the plan provides much clarity and a sound framework, still there is scope for improving and strengthening the mitigation measures, preparedness and effective response to the disasters. It is necessary for all the stakeholders and philanthropic and voluntary organizations and associations to implement the plan sincerely to make the district disaster-resilient. From the first edition of DDMP, DDMA is strengthening its technical capabilities in every measure to reduce risks, prevent losses, prepare, respond, recover and monitor hazards. Since, the drafting of plan was not possible without the cooperation of line departments of the district, therefore, I appreciate the efforts put in by all stakeholders especially the sect oral officers as well as the officials of disaster management cell, who worked tirelessly to concretize the plans and coming up with a broad framework. Sd/- Kuldeep Krishan Sidha (KAS) II Additional Deputy Commissioner (CEO DDMA) Anantnag FOREWORD District Anantnag is prone to many disasters - flood, fire, hailstorms, earthquake, snow avalanches and cloudburst are the major disasters which pose consistent threat to the infrastructure and economic assets besides human lives. To curb the graph of losses, District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) is working hand-in-hand with other stakeholders at every level to enhance the effectiveness of District Disaster Management Plan. From the publication of first edition of District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) in 2018, DDMA is working hard to review the plan for increasing its effectiveness to strengthen disaster mitigation measures. With the help of format of DDMP framed by National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), DDMA has made an effort to fill the gaps with regard to the general layout of plan by introducing all the action plans of the district and utilizing the data lying with different line departments of district to provide help/guidance to all disaster management committees at all levels, planning officers, line departments and institutions for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction, preparedness and mitigation measures in planning and implementation of various on- going new projects. In improving and enhancing the effectiveness of plan, this office welcomes any valuable insight, feedback and innovative suggestions from the general public, stakeholders and professionals from the relevant institutions.
