18 of meter-guage railway line coming from Rajgarh (Rajasthan). Air: has Aviation Club and the Airport which was once used for Viyudoot services, flying between Delhi- and Chandigarh Topography and drainage: The district has predominantly plain topography and is located 234 mts above mean sea level and having a gentle slope towards south-westerly direction. The district area falls in Yamuna subbasin of Ganga basin. There is no natural drainage in the district area. However, the area is drained by network of canals and the artificial drains (field drains/channels). These artificial drains are mainly confined in Bass, Hansi-I, Narnaund and Barwala blocks. There are a total of 39 drains existing in the area, which run for a distance of km. The area is irrigated by shallow tubewells and network of Bhakra Canal Systems and Western Yamuna Canal Systems Climate and Rainfall: The climate of district can be classified as tropical steppe, semi-arid and hot which is mainly dry with very hot summer and cold winter except during monsoon season when moist air of oceanic origin penetrates into the district. There are four seasons in a year. The hot weather season starts from mid March to last week of the June followed by the south- west monsoon, which lasts up to September. The transition period from September to October forms the post-monsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and remains up to first week of March to last week of the June followed by the south- west monsoon, which lasts up to September. The transition period from September to October forms the postmonsoon season. The winter season starts late in November and remains up to first week of March. The normal annual rainfall of the district is 416 mm which is unevenly distributed over the area. Normal Rainy days in a year are 23. The south west monsoon sets in from last week of June and withdraws in end of September, contributing about 81% of annual rainfall. July and August are the wettest months. Rest 19% rainfall is received during non-monsoon period in the wake of western disturbances and thunderstorms. Generally rainfall in the district increases from southwest to northeast. Mean Maximum Temperature is 41.6 C (May & June) and Mean Minimum Temperature is 5.5 C (January).

20 2 Hazard, Vulnerability & Capacity Analysis 2.1 Hazard Analysis United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction has defined hazard as a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. In simple words, a hazard is probability of occurrence of an event that has the potential for causing injury to life or damage to property or the environment. To keep the district safe and disaster resilient, a comprehensive hazard assessment is necessary. The plan follows a team approach through hazard-wise seasonality map and district hazards list Earthquake: lies in Seismic Zone III, i.e. in Moderate Damage Risk Zone. But an earthquake strikes suddenly and may cause building or infrastructural damage. Therefore, preventive measures for ensuring safety of buildings, structures, communication facilities, water supply lines, electricity and life are of utmost priority. Figure 2.1: Earthquake Hazard Map, Haryana The district has been traditionally vulnerable to different disasters on account of its unique geoclimatic condition. The following are the hazards that have a probability of occurrence in district, based on the history of their occurrence and geo-climatic condition: 1) Earthquake 2) Flood 3) Drought 4) Fire 5) Cold Wave & Heat Wave 6) Hail Storm 7) Road/Rail Accidents 8) Industrial/Chemical Hazard 9) Terrorist Attack 10) Epidemics 4

21 2.1.2 Flood: The major floods recorded in the district were in 1983, 1988, 1995 and During the flood of 1995, entire district was largely inundated. All the cities and rural areas were under 0.6 to 3 m (2 to 10 ft) floodwater and the water remained stagnant for many days due to the nonavailability of natural drainage system. All drains and canals overflowed and were not able to drain out the surface runoff. Apart from this, the villages in low line area near canals face regular floods during monsoon season. The major reason for the flood in this region is breaches in the canals due to overflow, seepage and cuts along canals. After heaviest floods were recorded in 1995, many special schemes were organized by the Government to overcome floods. Ring Bandhs and artificial drains were prepared wherever necessary. Ring bandhs have been constructed in 25 villages. Permanent pump and Temporary pumps were installed to pump out flood water from settlement areas and fields. These recurrent floods are causing damage to agricultural productivity during Kharif season. Around 46 villages are coming under flood prone area.

Gabi Pur Source: Flood Control Order Drought: In the East, district shares it boarder with Rajasthan. This part of district is vulnerable to drought and it receives very low rainfall in comparison to other parts of the district. Due to this uncertain rainfall pattern the entire district receive less than one month of rainy session. Hence the villages near Rajasthan boarder are facing drought situation almost each year, mainly in summer seasons. The situation even got worst when the availability of water in canals decreases. These recurrent droughts are causing damage to agricultural productivity during Rabi season. Around 35 villages are drought prone in the district.

23 Figure 2.3: Drought Prone Areas, Source of base map-harsac Fire: Fire incidents are more frequent in the rural settlement and generally occur during summer season. Mostly the fire incidents have been identified due to short circuit and from the kitchen during cooking of the meals. 47 major fires were recorded during the year 2011 in which 7 people were died and 4 people were injured. In 2012, 53 major fires were recorded and only 2 people were injured. Fires in the agriculture fields are also very common and causing huge damage to agricultural crops Hailstorm: There are cases of Hailstorm in the district and it generally occurs with heavy rainfall in cold winters. In past few years it has occurred once or twice a year and largely damaged the Rabi crops Road Accidents: Road accident is a frequent phenomenon in the district. Numbers of vehicles on road are increasing drastically which is making heavy traffic and congestion on roads. Following table 7

24 clearly indicates the severity of road accidents in the district. Table No.: 2.3 Road accidents in the year 2011 & 2012, Year Case Registered No. of People Injured No. of People Killed Heat and Cold Waves Heat and cold waves are part of extreme weather events. Extreme positive departures from the normal maximum temperature result in heat wave during the summer season. Occurrences of extreme low temperature in association with incursion of dry cold winds from north into the sub continent are known as cold waves. These affect largely to the economically poor population. District Administration provides Night Shelters to the needy people as and when required in and Hansi during winter season Terrorist Attack In case of terrorist attacks, the areas of high security, areas having vital importance to the state or populous areas are the focal points for a terrorist attack in a region. Military Station is the base headquarters of the 33 rd Armoured Division of Indian Army, can be the soft target for terrorist attack. Mini Secretariat and Court complex, religious places, places of tourist interests etc. that can be targeted should kept in security and kept prepared for any terrorist attack Epidemics Disaster due to epidemic is likely to hit after the onset of the monsoon due to bacteria and insects, nevertheless epidemics can also take place at any other time due to increase in unhygienic living conditions, water contamination etc. Therefore, vulnerable areas of the District are the highly congested slum areas in urban area and areas with insufficient hygiene infrastructure in rural parts of. While the major epidemics are in the form of cerebral malaria, dengue fever, cholera, jaundice and other water borne deceases, new situations like plague, AIDS etc cannot be ruled out. On positive cases of Jaundice was reported in Mothsara village (PHC Kajla, CHC Siswal) Industrial/Chemical Hazard There are 6 MAH units in the district and several small and medium scale industries. In addition, transportation of hazardous chemicals to and from industrial areas in pose a serious threat towards chemical accidents in the areas around national and state highways. Existing MAH units in the area, their location, nature of activities and quantities of hazardous chemicals handled in each MAH units is given below. Following six industries falling in administrative jurisdiction of District qualify as MAH units as per HSIHC Rule, 1989, amended in 1994 and Table No.: 2.4 List of MAH units, Sr. No. Name of the MAH Unit Hazardous Chemical Maximum Inventory 1 Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd.

In simple words, vulnerability is a degree to which hazard impacts a community or area. According to the above mentioned hazards has multiple vulnerabilities depending upon various factors like the proximity of hazards, socio-economic conditions of the people, demographic characteristics and sociocultural practices Physical Vulnerability: As per 2011 census data, there are 4,56,126 total census houses in district. Out of which 10

27 66.21 percent are in Rural and percent are in Urban. Out of this total census houses, 3,24,541 houses comes under residence and residence-cum-other use, which is 71 percent of the total census houses. Out of this only % houses are in good condition, % are livable and 4.8 % are dilapidated. Out of this 3,24,541 residence and residence-cum-other use houses, 2,20,811 houses are in rural and 1,03,730 are in urban which is % and % respectively. If we see in urban area, % are in good condition, % are livable and 3.30 % are dilapidated. Whereas in rural area, only 48 % are in good condition, % are livable and 5.51 % are dilapidated. This shows that physical vulnerability in rural area is much more than urban area. Out of total 3,25,046 Households by the condition of census houses occupied by them of district, 81,779 are Scheduled Caste Households by the condition of census houses occupied by them, which is 25.16% of the total, out of which 72.81% is in rural and 27.19% is in urban. Out of this, only 35.37% houses are in good condition, rest 54.95% is livable and 9.68% is dilapidated. This scenario is even verse in rural areas where only 31.08% houses are in good condition, rest 58.02% is livable and 10.90% is dilapidated Social Vulnerability: Social vulnerability is very high in the district. Violence against women and children is increasing day by day. One of the prominent reasons for this is said to be very low sex ratio. The district has very low Sex Ratio i.e. 871 females per 1000 males. Where Child Sex Ratio is even low i.e. only 849 girls per 1000 boys. The society is even rooted in the caste hierarchy, Upper-caste and lower-caste. Caste and class feeling is very strong in the people and it also rules the politics. There is wide gap in the male and female literacy rate also. Average literacy rate of is 73.20% where, male literacy is 82.80% and female literacy is 62.30%. As per 2001 census, the district has 21.99% Scheduled Class population, which has even low literacy rate i.e., just 49.8% Economic Vulnerability: The economically weaker sections are more vulnerable in a society than the normal sections. The reason behind this being the fact that during normal or emergency situation, they are the neglected sections and the unequal distribution of relief aid and resources, make their situation all the more worse. The BPL families in a district are usually considered as the economically backward group. Out of total households of rural area, households are BPL, which is 21.83% of the total rural households. Whereas out of households of urban area, households are BPL, which is 30.52% of the total urban households Environmental Vulnerability: The rapid urbanization, industrialization, deforestation and the water table depletion has led to the rapid environmental degradation and thereby increasing the vulnerability to the people. Pollutions is also increasing day by day especially air-pollutions is becoming a serious concern in urban areas. Another factor that adds up to the environmental vulnerability is the industries. 2.3 Risk Analysis: After going through various hazards and vulnerabilities of the district, we can contextualize the same in form of risk. It would give an overview of hazards in three different categories, i.e. high-risk hazards, moderate-risk and low-risk hazards and risky elements. 11

District has no experience of any high intensity of Earthquake. The district area falls in Yamuna sub-basin of Ganga basin. The area is drained by network of canals, Bhakra Canal System and Western Yamuna Canal System. Low lying areas are prone to recurrent floods and had been witnessing floods almost every year.

Road accidents are very frequent in the district. Rail accident has very low probability in the district but preparedness against such disaster is important to consider. There are various chemical industries in the district. So, preparedness against such disaster is important to consider 2.4 Hazard Seasonality Mapping: Catastrophe like floods, cold wave, drought, hailstorms etc. are climatic hazards and therefore have seasonal probability of occurrence. Mishaps like fires and chemical accidents can occur any season. Similarly, occurrence of earthquake is highly unpredictable and can occur in any season of the year, so its probability is throughout the year. Hazards like road accidents and rail accidents have high probability in the months of December and January as during these months there is dense fog all over the district may result into accidents. Similarly, hazardous chemicals transporting also have similar risk. Thus hazard seasonality map of district is made based on the history of occurrence of various disasters in district and also on the possibility of occurrence of hazards in future. Table 2.7 displays possibility of occurrence of these hazards.
