Kodagu was a state by itself before merging with Karnataka state in the year 1956, with an elected chief minister and the legislative assembly. At present it is a part of Mysore Lok Sabha Parliament Constituency and comprises of three taluks Madikeri, Somwarpet and Virajpet. 1.1 GEOGRAPHY Kodagu,occupies an area of 4,102 square kilometers 1,584sq. mi in the Western Ghats and is bordered by Dakshina Kannada district to the northwest, Hassan district to the north, Mysore district to the east, Kannur district of Kerala to the southwest, and Wayanad district of Kerala to the south.

A major part of the year consists of rainy season as the monsoon period starting in June lasts till the ends of September. Even during the post monsoon months of October and November certain parts of the district receive a significant amount of rainfall. Page 6

7 Because of the cloudy weather, the day would be quite sultry during October and it is only during the second half of the November that the weather becomes brighter. The period from December to February is the cold season marked by a bright weather, foggy mornings and cool nights. The day temperature begins to rise sharply during March and marks the commencement of the summer season, which lasts till the end of May.

The region is well suited for the cultivation of many high valued plantation crops like Coffee, black pepper and cardamom. Thus, the district is driven by a thriving rural agriculture based economy, which is supplemented by incomes from tourism. However, the agricultural sector faces critical problems like labour shortage, volatile prices and high transportation costs. Kodagu is one of the richer districts of Karnataka in terms of gross per capita Rs 68,965 in The District Domestic Product DDP grew at the cumulative annual compound growth rate CAGR of 6.81% GDDP with the primary sector registering the highest CAGR 9.63%. 1.6.A. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is the primary economic activity in the district, with most of the district s available non forest land is used for agriculture. Characteristically and historically, paddy fields are found on the valley floors, with Coffee and pepper agro forestry in the surrounding hills. The most common plantation crop is coffee, especially Coffee Robusta variety, although Arabica variety is also grown widely. Further, the district s agro climatic condition is conducive for cultivation of coffee, pepper, orange, anthorium and other plantation crops.

27 Chapter 2 Kodagu District Disaster Management Plan HAZARD VULNERABILITY, CAPACITY AND RISK ASSESSMENT HVCRA Hazard is a natural physical event which has a potential to convert into a disaster, causing widespread injury or deaths and damage to public or private property or the environment. Vulnerability means inability to resist a hazard or respond when a disaster has occurred. It depends on several factors such as people s age and state of health, local environmental and sanitary conditions, as well as on the quality and state of local buildings and their location with respect to any hazards Kodagu district in Karnataka state lies in the southern part of Western Ghats with high range hills. The topography of the region is sensitive and any changes in the landuse causes landslide or slope failures affecting the population. Thus, the district along with its scenic beauty and pleasant climatic conditions is also becoming known for natural hazards. Infrastructural development in the form of laying new roads and widening of the existing roads involved the modification of slopes thus the equilibrium attained by the nature has been deteriorated. Majority of slopes along the high way pose significant risk dominantly from rainfall induced slope failures. The factors generally responsible for the landslides or slope failures viz., lithology, structure, slope, morphometry, geomorphology, land use/land cover and drainage density. 2.1 Hazard profile of District Landslide near Madikeri Type of the Year Human Human life Animal Animal life saved Hazard life loss saved life loss Landsliding '' Flood Lightning Page 27

38 4.7. FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT Kodagu District Disaster Management Plan Flooding is the most costly natural hazard in the India in terms of causing greater loss of life and property than all other natural hazards combined. In fact, ninety percent 90% of all disasters are flood related Definition an area of low lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding. Floodplain management is the operation of a community program of corrective and preventative measures for reducing flood damage. These measures take a variety of forms and generally include zoning, subdivision, or building requirements, and special purpose floodplain ordinances. Mitigation practices, such as flood proofing or retrofitting a flood prone building, are equally beneficial to reducing flood damages to the community..floodplain management is a continuous process of making decisions about whether and how floodplain lands and waters are to be used. It encompasses the choices made by owners of floodplain homes and businesses, decisions made by officials at all levels of government, development plans made by owners of commercial floodprone land, and the judgment of farmers with pastures and fields stretching to the riverbanks. The process also focuses the attention of decision makers on the relationship between human use and the conservation of natural resources STORM WATER MANAGEMENT Definition Managing the quantity and quality of storm water is termed, "Storm water Management. Storm water management includes both technical and institutional aspects, including: control of flooding and erosion; control of hazardous materials to prevent release of pollutants into the environment source control ; planning and construction of storm water systems so contaminants are removed before they pollute surface waters or groundwater resources; acquisition and protection of natural waterways or rehabilitation; building "soft" structures such as ponds, swales, wetlands or green infrastructure solutions to work with existing or "hard" drainage structures, such as pipes and concrete channels; development of funding approaches to storm water programs potentially including storm water user fees and the creation of a storm water utility; development of long term asset management programs to repair and replace aging infrastructure; revision of current storm water regulations to address comprehensive storm water needs; Page 38

39 enhancement and enforcement of existing ordinances to make sure property owners consider the effects of storm water before, during and after development of their land; education of a community about how its actions affect water quality, and about what it can do to improve water quality; and planning carefully to create solutions before problems become too difficult to handle. 4.8.TOWN PLANNING ACT: Planning adapting and enforcing stringent building codes flood proofing designs seismic design standard cyclone and wind bracing requirements for new construction or repairing extreme construction The Karnataka Town and Country Planning Amendment Bill 2007 mention at section 6 of the principal states indicating hazard proness of the area Prepare an accurate map indicating hazard proness of the areas showing the present land use in the judistrictions 4.9. ZONING REGULATIONS: Planning and adopting zoning ordinances that steer development away from areas subject to flooding, storm surge or coastal erosion zoning of land use for residential commercial; industrial agricultural recreation educational and other purposes keeping on the view the natural hazard prone areas - In clause III of subsection 2 of session section 12 the following words shall be inserted after the word zone - Keeping in view the natural hazard prone areas to enforce the provisions of such plans and explaining the manner in which necessary permission to developing nay land be obtained planning 4.10 MITIGATION MEASURES Natural Disaster Mitigation Type of Hazard EARTH QUAKE Pre Disaster Responsibility of District administration Prepare earthquake catalogues/probable epicenter zones, geological and tectonic maps of the district.

List of vehicles and other heavy vehicles available for use to remove debris etc. Arrangements for periodic press release. Arrangements of relief work upto few days to one month. List of health officers at district and village level and their preparedness for help to the people by storing drugs etc., Mitigation Strategies to Build a Safe House/ Building and Demolish / Restore Old buildings in Kodagu District: We do not have to worry too much in building a perfect house / building like the Japanese build their house, because of their demand in building an Earthquake proof house, particularly in Kodagu District. However, the District administration and the public can take note of some of the following suggestions while constructing a house, schools, colleges and offices in the District. Buildings should be constructed on a good concrete base. No stones filled with mud be used for the basement No bricks filled with mud s be used for walls Page 40

41 Buildings should be of simple, geometric design, avoiding L and D shapes. Rectangular and square type buildings are most suitable. Light roofing must be avoided. Heavy roofing with cuddappa slabs on mud walls must be banned. Fixing very heavy RCC water tanks on the top of the Building should be avoided. Many Government Buildings, particularly Old Schools/ Government offices, built by Mud walls with lime mortar should be demolished. The old City market area and buildings needs reconstruction with good Engineering Earthquake resistant structures. Slum dwellers should be minimum. Alternative arrangements have to be made for these slum dwellers to build good houses. It is in these areas which are vulnerable and loss of life will be more during Earthquake. Type of Hazard Floods Pre Disaster Responsibility of District administration Identification of flood prone areas Identification of concentration of human population in vulnerable flood prone areas Collecting of daily information on the flood scenario of the district Proper storage of food and dry food to ensure immediate relief to the people at the time of a disaster Assessment of the availability of equipments that will be needed at the time of floods Collection of data like amount of rainfall and water level on an everyday basis Creating an awareness to the public the relation between deforestation and man made disaster Post Disaster Responsibility of District Administration Inflow in each river is recorded every hour and conveyed through wireless system. Flood discharge warning is issued 72 hrs before the actual release. The warning is broadcast through AIR, Doordarshan and in newspapers. In the sensitive villages and areas along the bank warning is issued through loudspeaker or drummer s announcements. Availability of Boats and rescue personnel Location of Evacuation centres / control rooms Location of Helipads in Mysore District Police, Fire, Medical facilities, Water tankers Maintenance of law and order Evacuation of people Page 41

42 Creating of water shed to prevent floods and ensure supply of water during dry season Preparing of alternate route maps Discourage settlements near river banks as they are more susceptible to floods Kodagu District Disaster Management Plan Recovery of dead bodies and their disposal Medical care for the injured Supply of food and water and restoration of water supply lines Restoring transport routes insurance of dwelling houses to reduce economic impact on the people Checking encroachment of human settlement near river banks. Emergency Phase just after occurrence of Disaster. Supply of water, medicines,electricity and veterinary aid at the shelter Immediate actions to prevent spread of epidemics, etc Type of Hazard Drought Mitigation Measures Rapid deployment of team to provide alternate drinking water sources or tankers in critical areas Setting up food and fodder banks Changing cropping pattern food and fodder and restricting the acreage of commercial crops Employment generation activity with emphasis on watershed development and tree planting Emergency measures If the drought is severe establishment of rehabilitation camps and community kitchens will be necessary. Ideal places are schools and anganawadi canters in the region. Provision of drinking water and sanitation for the camps is essential. Water tanks to critical areas from the nearest source at the earliest. Establishment of fodder banks for the cattle Establishment of health services and prevention of epidemics Page 42

43 Man Made Disasters Kodagu District Disaster Management Plan Type of the Fire Accident Urban fires: Village fires: Forest fires: Electrical fires: Definition This is a man made disaster. Urban fire is usually caused by Electrical faults, human carelessness, lack of supervision of naked flame or uncontrolled production of a chemical or physical reaction arson etc Most of the village fires occur in the summer season and are composed by wind and density of living. Villages are fire prone due to the spread of biowastes/dry thatching materials etc,. Burning wood, open cooking burning kerosene/oil lamps etc., are the causes for village fires. Nonavailability of water and sand is a problem during village fires Forest fires are mainly caused due to careless throwing of cigarette butts by people in the Forests. The Forest Department is having its own plan to tackle forest fires. Hence the subject is not discussed. Local communities are to be involved in forest fire detection and prevention :Electricity is a necessity in our lives, but it should be used carefully to avoid accidents and fires usually occur due to short circuit Mitigation Measures To plan and construct low hazard buildings with non combustible materials. To provide fire control and suppression equipment where ever needed with First Aid materials. To maintain the Equipment in readiness. To educate and train employees in loss prevention and proper action in emergencies. Fire order publication in all the fire accident prone establishment and to ensure that it is properly implemented. Establishment of Industrial Fire Brigades with modern appliances / equipment / fire professionals. Mutual fire aid programme Page 43

44 Response Plan for Fire accidents: The first and foremost unit to be intimated case of a fire accident is the Fire Agency. The Disaster Management Agency shall also pool up based on information available all other fire agency apart from Government and direct them to the accident site. The electricity department shall be intimated to immediately shut off supply to the area of the accident the department shall also ensure that electric supply is available to the surrounding areas to help fire fighting operation and relief operation. In case due to the enormity and type of accident, electric supply has to be cut off, then the electricity department shall be instructed to arrange for temporary supply to the area. In case of fires in electrical installations, the fire agency shall carry out the operations in full co ordination with the Electrical Agency. In case of village fires, the assistance of the villagers earlier trained and educated in minimal aspects of fire fighting shall be utilized until professional help reaches the accident site. In case of forest fires, the Forest department shall be immediately notified and the Fire and the Fire agencies shall be informed to act as per the action plan decided upon. The local people forming a part of a voluntary force shall be involved by the Forest department to tackle forest fires. In case of accidents in apartments and multi storage buildings, the units involved should go by the motto Saves lives first and then property. Evacuation of humans shall be the top priority. In case of fires in industries and chemical godowns, depending on vulnerable zone, the police and home guards shall be directed to evacuate the inhabitants. Care should be taken to see that the operation does not create panic. The Hospitals concerned and the ambulances shall then be directed to carry out relief operations. The Agency shall assess the magnitude of relief required and then direct the fire agency and the ambulance to carry victims to the hospitals concerned. The Police and the home guards shall be informed to maintain the necessary law and order to ensure proper fire fighting land relief operations. The Voluntary organizations shall be informed if necessary for assistance in relief operations. However, the assistance of these organizations shall be utilized for rehabilitation of fire victims. Page 44

45 Disaster Road Accidents Type of accident Road Accidents Excess of Vehicles and reckless Driving Causes Most of the Road accidents occur mainly due to driver s failure. Apart from this factor, the other general reasons are: Poor road conditions, Mixed Traffic, Poor vehicle maintenance, Carelessness in driving, Lack of safety belts and helmets, Poor emergency services, Absence pedestrian amenities of Mitigation Measures Strengthening the enforcement wing in Transport commissionerate Creation of Adequate highway/traffic aid posts. At every Major intersection on the highway. Traffic aid posts should be set up. Trauma care centers should be established at every 50 Kms. or appropriate distance on the national and State highways. Round the clock operating PCO should be provided with communication facilities to contact the Disaster Management agencies, nearest hospital/medical personnel and medical college numbers. Every traffic aid post should have dependable communication to the Disaster Management agency and with the nearest Trauma care centers. Modern Technology including speed monitoring equipments and computerization of movement of vehicles with adequate check points on the National highways should be introduced. Equipment for removal of accident vehicles from the highway should be easily accessible. Details of agencies having cranes and other equipment should be available on the click of a button. At the Disaster Management control center and also possibly through the RTO and the police Page 45

46 Festival Related Accidents. Kodagu District Disaster Management Plan The Kodagu district is come across with lots of festivals and other public related meeting programs due to this disaster are stampede, epidemics fires, etc. due to assembly of large number of peoples Type of accident Festival related accidents Causes Due to Careless, short circuit or negligence Mitigation Measures to be taken by District Administration Taking previous experience into account or lacunae can be rectified. Ground management rehearsal to be done by the Dist. Administration. Adequate communication facilities including Do s and Don ts to people coming for festivals to be ensured. Tent materials should be fire proof. Adequate steps to be taken to ensure that is no Electrical short circuit. Adequate escape routes should be provided. Adequate medical facilities to be arranged. Effective barricading to be done. Quick and safe disposal of the Garbage, solid waste materials etc. Special arrangement for tracing out missing persons and children to through control room and public announcements. Special protection to be given to women, children, aged and handicapped people. Movement of anti social elements to be checked by the police. In case of failure of electricity, there should be a provision of alternative arrangements of generator system. Mobile vans with wireless communication to be provided. Adequate medical facilities to be provided. VVIPs coming to places where crowds assemble, could also add to the burden to the District Administration, which should be anticipated and prepared for. Page 46

47 Response Plan for Festival Related accidents: On receiving information regarding a festival related accident, the Agency shall take immediate steps to direct concerned units to carry out evacuation of the people assembled. The Police and Home guards along with voluntary organizations shall play a major role here. These nits shall base on the contingency plan, arrange for unaffected crowd to disperse. It is very necessary to ensure that nobody panics. The other agencies such as Fire agency, the hospital staff, and cranes if necessary shall move in only after the area is cleared by the police for relief operations. The police shall look out for anti social elements and ensure law and order. In case of failure of electricity, the electricity department shall make temporary arrangements for providing electricity. In case of epidemics, mobilization of paramedics and volunteers from different organizations is must. The District administration should arrange for proper sanitation facilities in such cases. The first task should be to stop the spread of the disease. MAJOR BUILDING COLLAPSE. Building collapse and consequent loss of lives has become common in the Urban areas. Due to high demand and legal battles the occupants refuse to vacate for fear of not getting it back and continue to live in unsafe buildings. Poor quality construction also aggravates the cause of building collapse. Natural calamities, such as Earth Quake; Cyclone and flood could also be contribution factors for building collapse. The Town planning and development authorities should technically ascertain the factor of safety of old buildings. Type of hazard Building collapse Mitigation Measures Guards immediately after receiving the information. The Police should be notified to cordon off the area and discourage people from crowding near the accident spot. The paramedics and ambulances should be rushed with facilities to take of injuries demanding surgical treatment. Hospital in the vicinity should be informed to be prepared to receive victims. Ortho and Neuro surgeons should be kept ready. Crane services and metal cutting services should be called for. The information on the following should be given to all the units involved. Building s use, Number of occupants. Number of victims trapped and their probable location. Presence of hazards, Gas and Flammables. The support of a Technical unit or Engineers should be utilized. Page 47

48 Place rescuers in call and listen position. Have all the units to call for silence in between operations. Once communications with the victim has been established, it should be constantly maintained. It is safer to cut; holes in floors rather than breaching the walls as it may undermine the structural integrity of the rest of the building. The Electrical department should cut off the supply to the building..rescue teams should have a leader Steps taken for developing and implementing public safety norms for critical infrastructures and places of worships. When crowds are controlled everyone can enjoy themselves and a business or event can be more successful. That s why, in any worship places or venue stadium or arena, conference center or airport, mall or amusement park crowd control techniques play a vital role. Here are five techniques that should be considered and incorporated into an effective crowd control management plan Type of hazard Place of worship Mitigation Measures 1. Wayfinding Optimization A frequent visitor to an establishment or venue will feel comfortable finding their way. But newcomers are simply unfamiliar with what s what and what s where. Leave nothing to chance. Design and optimize your wayfinding approach for the first timer and remember that whether it s their first time or their fiftieth time, you can t go wrong by making the directions clear. Wayfinding is enhanced with directional and informational signage to make the way clear. And don t forget to clearly mark established areas checkouts, seating areas, waiting lounges, and so on so people know when they ve arrived at their desired destination. 2. Queue Management People must wait in line to get into the parking lot and out of it, to get their tickets, to purchase concessions, to enter a building, to get to their seat Lines are inevitable, but they don t have to be painful. Because waiting in line can cause tension among a large group of impatient, tired, or excited people, crowd control issues can easily arise if queuing is not handled properly. Distraction is always a good solution to help people forget that they re Page 48

49 waiting. Offer in line entertainment, such as highlight reels or promotional videos to keep the crowd occupied. Incorporate in line merchandise, such as t shirts or magnets to provide the type of distraction that also boosts sales. And if you re anticipating heavy or rowdy crowds, consider barriers that are not easily shifted, moved, or toppled. Invest in posts that have a strong magnetic base or opt for mounts that are permanently drilled into the ground but which allow for the removal of crowd control stanchions when they are not necessary. 3. Temporary Closures Inevitably there will be sections or areas of a facility that need to be closed off, whether for routine maintenance, cleaning, or renovation. The way you handle such temporary closures can impact crowd control and because the closure is not expected, it often requires a higher level of policing than the rest of a venue. It s crucial to make sure a temporary shift is clearly marked and that alternate routes or instructions are offered. 4. Rapid Deployment There are expected ebbs and flows of customers and guests, and then there is the unexpected. It s a facility manager s job to plan and be prepared for the most basic blip and the most outlandish possible occurrence. 5. Customer Flow Management To truly keep crowds under your control, it s essential to have solutions in place throughout your entire facility so people continue to move in the right direction whether they re coming in, going out, or making their way around inside. Velvet ropes are a subtle and sophisticated way to guide a subdued crowd, say at a benefit, temple event. Belts and stanchions with post top signage and banners can keep the rowdy amusement park crowds in some semblance of order. When you can keep customers moving in whatever direction they wish to go or whatever direction they re supposed to go you can temper crowd frenzy and maintain a well oiled, highly controlled environment that is prepared for the smallest glitch or biggest disaster Page 49

Kind: 'Kind' refers to equipment, vehicles or personnel for example; Truck, Medical team, Bulldozer RESPONSE AND EVACUATION OF DISABLED AVAILABILITY OF ASSISTIVE DEVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES India has a large constituency of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups who are presently excluded from emergency planning and response services due to lack of adequate accessible infrastructure and trained manpower. In India alone, as per the 2001 Census, there are around 2.19 crore disabled people, constituting 2.13% of the total population of the country Disability India Information Resources, National Policy on Disaster Management the National Policy on Disaster Management NPDM India s vulnerability to national disasters and emergencies, and more specifically, acknowledges that economically and socially weaker segments of the population often face worst situations in cases of national disasters. Within the Page 50

51 vulnerable groups, elderly persons, women, children especially women rendered destitute and children orphaned on account of disasters and the differently able persons are exposed to higher risks. One of the objectives of the policy is ensuring efficient response and relief with a caring approach towards the needs of the vulnerable sections of the society. Hence there is a broad mandate to cover the needs of persons with disabilities. The policy envisages a shift from a disaster relief perspective to a more proactive and prepared approach, with a focus on averting or mitigating disasters in order to minimize loss to life and property. Section of the NPDM discusses forecasting and early warning systems, and mentions several Information and Communications Technology ICT tools that can be used for forecasting as well as imparting timely warning of disasters. The scope of this section needs to be broadened to include information and communications technologies which are accessible.
