Foreword

The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) outlining the measure to be taken inthe event of any natural or man-made disaster during the year 2011-2012 has beenprepared on the past experiences. The DDMP includes the facts and figures that havebeen collected from various sources with a view to meet the challenges during anyNatural Disaster. The plan has been prepared with the viewpoint that DisasterManagement Plan in a continuous process and it needs regular updation.

The plan deals with Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis, identification ofDisaster Prone Areas, Response Structures, Inventory of Resources, Standard operatingprocedures, Directory of Institutions and key individuals, etc. The plan is prepared tohelp the District Administration focus quickly on the essentials and crucial aspects ofboth preparedness and response

It is hoped that the District level Officials who are in-charge of different departmentswill carefully go through the DDMP and remain alert to emergent situations that mayarise in the course of the year. The DDMP seeks to serve as a useful handbook ofoperational guidelines for the Officers of the District Administration. It is expected thatField Officers working in Karbi Anglong District in the Department of Revenue,Agriculture, Rural Development, Health, Veterinary, Forest, Water Resource, PHE,PWD, Irrigation and other Department will thoroughly acquaint themselves with theseguidelines. A word of caution may be mentioned, however, plans are useful and workonly if they are updated and practiced through intensive mock exercises and simulations.

I take this opportunity to thank all concern who has contributed in every way inpreparation of the DDMP.

Introduction

1.1 Background:

A dangerous condition or events that threaten or have the potential for causing injury to life ordamage to property or the environment is called Hazard. Hazards can be categorised in many ways. Butbased on their origin, worldwide they are basically grouped in two broad headings:-

1. Natural Hazard: Hazards with Meteorological, geological or even biological origin.

2. Un-Natural Hazard: Hazards with Human Caused or Technological origin.

It is also important to know that Natural Phenomena are extreme Climatological, Hydrological orGeological processes that do not pose any threat to human or property. For example, a massive earthquakein an unpopulated area is a natural phenomena but not a hazard. It is when these natural phenomenainteract with human population or fragile areas which cases wide spread damage. The population whichare prone to these natural phenomena are called Vulnerable to hazards.

A disaster is the output of a hazard such as earthquake, flood, landslide or cyclone coinciding witha vulnerable situation, which may include communities, cities or villages. Without vulnerability or hazardthere is no disaster. A disaster happens when vulnerability and hazard meet.

India is a vast country and is prone to many hazards. In the meantime India has experienced thedisaster like tsunami in 2008, great earthquakes like Assam-1950, Gujarat- 1992, Sikkim-2011, Supercyclones of Orissa, unexpected flash flood of Mumbai ect. Considering such situation Government of Indiaalready has passed the Disaster Management Act on 23rd December, 2005 in the Parliament. After this Act,disaster is no more confined to any particular department rather it is confined to all departments. This actenables the state government to form disaster management authority at the state level and make it moreeffective and specific.

Karbi-Anglong is one f the two hills districts in Assam and is prone to many hazards like Earthquake,Flash Flood, Landslide, and Cyclone along with manmade disasters like rail-road accidents, terrorism, riotsect. The District Disaster Management Authority, Karbi Anglong has been trying to visualize measures tomitigate disaster imparting training and awareness programmes including media and printed documents forpublic and Govt. Officials, by preparing disaster management plan for any kind of disaster. Planned andsustained development is one of the main feature of disaster management hence much more emphasize isgiven by the district administration to develop the district disaster management plan so that it will be moreuseful to handle disasters timely in future. Above all this plan will be a true guide to a disaster managerat district level, since it provides all necessary information regarding human resource, equipments andcritical supplies required for effective and timely response to any critical situation.

1.2 Importance of multi hazard management plan:

Karbi-Anglong is a multi hazard district and it is vulnerable to hazards like earthquake, flash flood,landslide, Cyclone including manmade disasters like rail-road accidents, terrorism, riots ect. The weakgeology, difficult terrain and arduous communication has made the district more vulnerable to hazards. So

1

the district plan has been designed as per the present need and the major strategies towards preparedness,mitigation, response, rehabilitation and development to any disaster. In the multi-hazard district plan, allthe disasters will be handled properly following the given response mechanism like Standard OperatingProcedures (SOP), use of resource inventory, keeping coordination with the line agencies and propercommunity based awareness activities. SOP of line departments is designed to make them alert. It highlightstheir role and responsibilities during, after and normal time of the disaster.

The main features of multi-hazard plan are:-

1. It gives importance to all the disasters equally and helps to mitigate the situation beforehand.

2. All the departments are assigned with their proper role and responsibilities, which are clearly indicatedin the SOPs.

3. The District administration has to be alert round the year as disasters may occur anytime, anywherein the district, irrespective of time and location.

Disaster Management Cycle:-

In multi-hazard response plan, the disaster management cycle has a significant role to play. The fourstages of disaster cycle have their own importance in terms of their implementation during, after and beforethe occurrence of any disaster.

The Disaster Management Cycle

Pre-disaster or Risk Management Phase:-

Risk reduction activities, preparedness and mitigation come before disaster occurs. Preparedness andmitigation largely deals with the issues that reduce the risk of loss of life and property caused by thedisasters by capacity building programmes. These activities take place during the normal time.

Post- Disaster or Crisis Management Phase:-

Response and recovery phases start after the occurrence of any disaster. Response basically dealswith relief and rescue operations that take place immediately after disaster. Whereas, reconstruction and

2

rehabilitation includes in recovery phase and continues immediately after relief and rescue operations, tillthe life of people becomes normal.

1.3 Objectives of the plan:

The objectives behind the preparation of the District Disaster Management Plan is

q To mitigate impact of natural and man-made disasters through preparedness at District, Blockand Village level.

q The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) helps to bring together the informationrelated to equipments, skilled manpower and critical supplies available in the district.

q It helps to know the standard operating procedures of various departments at the time ofdisaster. The role and responsibility of each and every line department as well as the officerscan be detected at the time of disaster.

q It helps the district administration to assess its own capacity in terms of available resourcesand get ready to mitigate any unexpected disaster effectively and to prevent the loss of humanlives and property through preparedness, prevention & mitigation of disasters.

q To assist the line departments, block administration, communities in developing compatibleskills for disaster preparedness and management.

q To disseminate factual information in a timely, accurate and tactful manner while maintainingnecessary confidentiality.

q To develop immediate and long-term support plans for vulnerable people in/during disasters.

q To have response system in place to face any eventuality.

2.6 Socio Economic Features (Agriculture and Irrigation):-

Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of the district and about 85% of the ruralpopulation directly depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The district has a medium to high croppingintensity and more intensive and diversified farming systems in comparison to the other zone. The majorfield crops are rice (Sali, and Ahu) Black gram, Aarahar, Lentil, Pea, Maize, Rape & Mustard, Wheat, etc.Horticultural crops include vegetables like Cole crops, Brinjal, Tomato, Potato, chilli, Cucurbits, Onion,Garlic, Turmeric, Ginger etc. Important plantation crops are Areca nut, Coconut, Bamboo etc. Banana,pineapple, litchi, citrus etc. are major commercially cultivated fruit crops of the district. Rain fed farmingis generally followed by the farmers and only approx 2% of the cultivated area is brought under irrigationthrough canal, lift irrigation and S.T.W. There are a few natural Beels where fish grows naturally andgenerally fish cultivation is done in community tanks or ponds and low lying areas. Cattle, goat, pig andpoultry are the major livestock of the district. However, there has been considerable yield gap in bothagriculture and allied sectors due to gap in adoption of scientific technology. The infrastructure facilitieslike supply of input, marketing, institutional credit and extension services are still inadequate. Gradualdegradation of natural resources such as soil and water is also noticed due to adoption of inappropriateagricultural practices. Therefore, conservation of these resources needs to be prioritized through adoptionof sustainable land use system

2.7 Roads and Communication:

The district is well connected with other district through various routes. On the north it is coveredby NH- 36 and on the east by NH-39. The internal routes are covered by P.W.D.

(B) Earthquake: Karbi Anglong has not experienced any major earthquake yet except few mild tremorsoccasionally. But the entire district is very much vulnerable to earthquake due to its weak geography andfragile geomorphology being in the most dangerous Seismic Zone i.e. Zone (V). The difficult terrain andarduous communication has made it hazardous to earthquake. The whole district is sitting on the bed oflimestone and hence very fragile. The soil is very much unstable here and hence needs special attention tostructures and constructions. It is to mention here that about 98% of P.W.D. buildings are Assam Type andonly 2% are RCC buildings in the district.

(C) Landslide: Though the district has no past history of landslide it is vulnerable to landslide due toits weak soil structures. Road erosion and road dumping is a common phenomenon in the district andnormal life is distorted due to communication. Further many road accidents takes place due to the roaddumping cases.

C-1 Roads Vulnerable to Landslide:

Under P.W.D. (Roads) Diphu Division:

(D) Drought: Drought was once experienced by the district in the year 2009 and the farmers had to bearheavy loss. The production was very low and the district administration had to distribute relief material andseed to the affected population. The whole district is vulnerable to draught and as no such natural waterreservoir is there in the district from where the water can be irrigated. Again the irrigation system is alsovery poor in the district and only 13,461 Ha of total crop field is connected with irrigation facilities.

(E) Cyclone: Being a hilly place the district is vulnerable to seasonal cyclone between the monthsMarch-May. The entire district may face destruction due to cyclone like uprooting of trees, devastation ofhouses, communication distortion, damage to the paddy fields ect.

(F) Rail-Road Accidents: National Highway 36 and 37 covers the district and the district is connectedfrom headquarter Diphu to the Golaghat District, Dimapur, Lumding, Guwahati, Nagaon, Jorhat, andTezpur. Due to the weak soil structure the roads in the district gets easily eroded or dumping occurs on

the roads. Again the places are hilly and driving here is not easy, hence the district is vulnerable to roadaccidents and the road side population is more prone to accidents.

The N.F. Railway passes through the district and touches the boundary of the district. As there are manymilitant groups in the district the railway need protection along some part of the district. The identifiedvulnerable portion is as below:

F-1 Vulnerable portion of Railway Tracks and Requirement of Home Guards:

(G) Other Manmade disasters: The district has already experienced a series of ethnic clashes, riots,terrorist attack, bomb blast in the past with heavy loss of life and property. Again the district sharesboundaries with Meghalaya and Nagaland state which increases the vulnerability of the border areas. Thereare 10 nos of border out post in the district to look after the situation and more focus is needed to tackleany unwanted situation.

(H) Elephant Depression: Due to deforestation in the areas like Chowkihola, Deithor, Katkhati, Lahorijanelephant come down in search of food and shelter and create havoc among the human habitation of theseareas. Around 100 Sq. Km area is affected by Elephant Depression in this area.

The forest department (East Division), Diphu has made arrangement for patrolling party in theseareas for monitoring elephant movement.

Chapter-5

Preparedness and MitigationIn disaster management cycle, preparedness and mitigation are the two important stages before the occurrenceof disaster. It has a great importance in reduction of loss of life and property.

5.1 Preparedness:

This protective process embraces measures which enable governments, communities and individuals torespond rapidly to disaster situations to cope with them effectively. Preparedness includes the formulationof viable emergency plans, the development of warning systems, the maintenance of inventories and thetraining of personnel. It may also embrace search and rescue measures as well as evacuation plans for areasthat may be at risk from a recurring disaster. Preparedness therefore is the state of readiness to deal witha threatening disaster situation or disaster and its consequences. All preparedness planning needs to besupported by appropriate legislation with clear allocation of responsibilities and budgetary provisions.

5.2 Mitigation:

Mitigation refers to all actions taken before a disaster to reduce its impacts, including preparedness andlong-term risk reduction measures. Mitigation activities fall broadly into two categories:

1 Structural mitigation - construction projects which reduce economic and social impacts.

2 Non-structural activities - policies and practices which raise awareness of hazards or encourage developmentsto reduce the impact of disasters.

Mitigation includes reviewing building codes; vulnerability analysis updates; zoning and land-use managementand planning; reviewing of building use regulations and safety codes; and implementing preventative healthmeasures. Mitigation can also involve educating businesses and the public on simple measures they can taketo reduce loss or injury, for instance fastening bookshelves, water heaters, and filing cabinets to walls tokeep them from falling during earthquakes. Ideally, these preventative measures and public educationprogrammes will occur before the disaster.

5.3 Preparedness and Mitigation measures:

5.3.1 General Preparedness Measures:

1. Establishment of the Control Rooms

The district administration is focusing to ensure the round the clock operation of the control rooms in thedistrict. The control rooms are presently run by major line departments at Revenue, Police, Water Resource,Fire Service, Hospital level and our endeavour is to make it functional at Block and Village level.

2. Plan Updation

Disaster Management Plan needs updation at every interval. It includes the skilled manpower, their addressesand contact numbers, necessary equipments, medicinal stock, daily necessities, list of flood prone villagesetc. All these things have to be updated after a certain interval of time. The DDMA Karbi Anglong hasdecided to update the plan on half yearly basis.

20

3. Training for Govt. Officials and Disater Management Team Members:

The Govt. Officials of the line departments of the district should be updated on various aspects of disastermanagement by organizing regular training programmes for the officials. DDMA, Karbi Anglong visualizesto impart various training programme for the Govt. Officials and the members of various Search & Rescueteams in the district to increase efficacy at the time of need.

4. Organization of Mock Drills:

Mock drill is an integral part of the Community based disaster management plan, as it is a preparednessdrill to keep the community alert. Mock drills are planned at various level of the community to keep thecommunity updated and active. Mock drill should be organized once in six months as per the seasonalitycalendar of natural disaster events that is likely to occur.

6. Communication:

During disaster communication plays a vital, role in reducing the loss of life and property. For effectiveand proper communication DDMA has to develop a strong communication system and an inventory ofcontact numbers of all the concern persons up to the village level has to be prepared. DDMA, KarbiAnglong has set up a control room for any emergency situation and it is equipped with the importantcontact numbers of the officials of the district which is updated on regular interval of time. Accordinglythe other departments like Police, Fire, Medical; Water Resource has also developed their control rooms.DDMA envisage to develop a wireless network within the district up to the village level for bettercommunication in future as when disaster strikes all the present communication systems like mobilenetwork, landline, internet, rail-road network go down.

5.3.2 Preparedness Measures of the line departments and Circles:

1. Donka Revenue Circle:

Preparedness for Flood: The Donka revenue circle is highly affected by flood each year and it is hazardousto earthquake and landslide also. The preparedness measures taken by the circle is as follows:

Chapter-6

Response PlanThe aim of emergency response is to provide immediate assistance to maintain life, improve health, andto support the morale of the affected population. Such assistance may range from providing specific butlimited aid, such as assisting refugees with transportation, temporary shelter, and food, to establishing semi-permanent settlement in camps and other locations. It also may involve initial repairs to damaged infrastructure.The focus in the response phase is on meeting the basic needs of the people until more permanent andsustainable solutions can be found.

n To repair or replace damaged infrastructure and regenerate viable economic activities. To dothis in a manner that contributes to long term development goals and reduces vulnerability toany future recurrence of potentially damaging hazards.

n In situations of civil or international conflict, the aim is to protect and assist the civilianpopulation, in close collaboration with National and International agencies.

n In cases involving population displacements (due to any type of disaster) the aim is to finddurable solutions as quickly as possible, while ensuring protection and assistance as necessaryin the meantime.
