Chapter - I MULTI- HAZARD DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT - Why Is It? Natural disaster is a part of our own earth so we can neither avoid it nor is it possible to prevent natural disaster altogether. But it s effects can be reduced through systematic approach by Disaster Management initiatives. It can be an effective tool for saving valuable human lives and mitigation of human misery. 1.2 INTRODUCTION Concepts of Disaster Management Disaster Management: The word Disaster is from a French word Desastre meaning bad or evil star. However this is a very narrow conception of disaster and in our context, any disaster means a situation in which there is a sudden disruption of normalcy within society causing widespread damage to life and property. Typology of disaster- A disaster can be either natural [rain, flood, cyclone, storm, land slides, earthquake, volcanoes] or man made [war including biological, arson, sabotage, riots, accident (train, air, ship), industrial accidents, fires (forest fires), bomb explosions, nuclear explosions and ecological disasters]. The discussion here is confined to the natural disasters. Pre-Independence, droughts and famines were the biggest killers in India. The situation has changed due to a combination of factors like irrigation development, food security measures. Floods, cyclones, droughts, landslides, avalanches and earthquakes are some of the major natural disasters that repeatedly and increasingly affect the country. Vulnerability- Vulnerability is defined as the extent to which a community, structure, service, or geographic area is likely to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction and proximity to hazardous terrain or a disaster prone area. In 1989, the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed the decade 1990-2000 as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). At the World Conference on Natural Disaster Reduction in the city of Yokohama, Japan in 1994, deep concern was expressed at the continuing human suffering and disruption of development due to natural disasters and a Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action for a Safe World was developed. It is not possible to do away with the devastation due to natural hazards completely. However, destruction from natural hazards can be minimized by the presence of well-functioning warning systems, combined with preparedness on the part of the vulnerable community. Disaster management may be seen as a part of good governance. Basic Concepts of Emergency Management- The basic concept suggests that the same management strategies can be applied to all emergencies. Emergencies do not just appear one day, rather they exist throughout time and have a life-cycle of occurrence, and hence the management strategy should match the phases of an emergency in order to mitigate, prepare, respond and recover from its effect. There are four phases in Emergency Management: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery. The four phases are visualized as having a circular 5

relationship to each other (Emergency Management Cycle). The activities in one phase may overlap those in the previous one. 1.3 Emergency Management Cycle: Mitigation refers to activities which actually eliminate or reduce the vulnerability or chance of occurrence or the effects of a disaster. Mitigation phase begins with conducting hazard identification and vulnerability analysis which are essential to the planning of all other phases. Hazard identification and vulnerability analysis is a twostep process. First the hazard is identified which has the potential of affecting the population. Secondly, how people, property and structures will be affected by the disastrous event. Preparedness is a state of being ready to react promptly and effectively in the event of an emergency. Being prepared means that a plan of action exists for an emergency so that it is clear as to what to do before the emergency occurs. Preparedness measures to be undertaken depends upon the analysis of hazard severity and vulnerability, which is also the basis for deciding mitigation strategy. In some cases, such as a flood or hurricane, an early warning gives several hours to R I S K M A N A G E M E N T Mitigation Preparedness Prevention Disaster Management Cycle Disaster Impact Development Response Rehabilitation Reconstruction act. However, often no prior warning of an impending emergency, such as with earthquakes, tornadoes, explosions, or major fires is possible. Preparedness for any emergency, especially those, which strike without notice, requires a plan. It is essential to identify the resources available, and ways to utilize them. It must also be reasonably certain that the plan will work in an emergency situation. Preparedness Plan - The purpose of a plan is to provide a systematic way of responding to an emergency situation. The following aspects should be taken into consideration in the development of Emergency Preparedness Plan. 1.4 Objective Of The Disaster Managemnent Plan: The district is very vulnerable to natural disasters- mainly exposed to heavy floods and erosion and secondly earthquake is also a probable threat. Here it may be mentioned that the district experienced a terrible earthquake in 1897, due to which the town was at once submerged in water. C R I S I S M A N A G E M E N T 6

The broad objectives of the multi-hazard disaster management plan may be summarized as: 1. National capacity building support to the Ministry of Home Affairs. 2. Environment building, education, awareness programmes and strengthening the capacity at all levels in natural disaster risk management and sustainable recovery. 3. Multi-hazard preparedness, response and mitigation plans for the programme at state, district, block, gram panchayat and village/ward levels. 4. Networking knowledge on effective approaches, methods and tools for natural disaster risk management, developing and promoting policy frameworks. 1.5 Disasters and its Challenges: Along with perennial floods, earthquakes pose a possible threat, particularly due to the fact that it s time, location and magnitude cannot be accurately predicted. Moreover, the entire North-Eastern Region of India is located in a seismically active zone. The region has be witness to several violent earthquakes in the past. Challenges created by disasters particularly by the natural disasters such as floods, cyclones and high-intensity earthquakes are; To rescue and evacuate trapped people To provide first aid to the injured To take care of children, women and disabled people To transfer the seriously injured and people needing urgent medical attention to hospitals To restore communication network and essential services To clear debris blocking roads and communication networks To provide shelter and relief to homeless people To arrange for food and drinking water to the affected people To take immediate measure for disposal of dead bodies and animal carcass to prevent the outbreak of epidemics To take urgent measures for maintaining law and order To take people to safer places in case of change of course of river due to floods It is a fact that natural disasters can be avoided and prevented, but only by our sincere efforts we can mitigate it through advance preparedness. Preparedness means Development, Rehabilitation, Restoration on one side and Mitigation, Rescue, Relief on the other side. 7

CHAPTER 2 NATURAL DISASTERS IN ASSAM: A BRIEF RETROSPECTION AND CURRENT VULNERABILITY. The North Eastern region of India comprising of eight states, namely Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim is bordered by the countries of Bhutan, China, Bangladesh and Myanmar. The entire region is one of the most multi-hazard prone regions in the Asian continent, with different areas being prone to different hazards like earthquakes, floods, landslides and cyclonic storms etc. The rivers Brahmaputra and Barak drain the region. The Brahmaputra river has a catchment area of 5,80,000 Sq-km in Tibet, Bhutan, India and Bangladesh and in terms of discharge is the third largest river in the world, in terms of sediment load it is second after the yellow river of China. The river flows for a length of 918 Km in India of which, 720 Km flows through the plains of Assam. In this valley, about 20 major tributaries on its North bank and about 13 on its South Bank join the river Brahmaputra. The precipitation here is mainly due to the South-West monsoon. Heavy rainfall occurs from June to September. Average annual rainfall in the region is very high and ranges from 1750mm in the plains to about 6400 mm in the hills, this huge volume of water rushes through the narrow bowl shaped valley of Assam to the Bay of Bengal ravaging the area through floods and land erosion. The recurring floods on an average devastate about 20% of the total area of the plain districts of the state of Assam and in the high floods years the devastation has been recorded to be as high as 67 %. The region lies at the junction of the Himalayan arc to the north and the Burmese arc to the east and is one of the six most seismically active regions of the world. The entire region falls in Zone V, the most vulnerable seismic zone. Twelve major earthquakes have occurred in the region in the last 100 years of which the devastating earthquakes of 1897 in the Shillong plateau and in 1950 in Upper Assam have been recorded as two of the largest earthquakes in the country. Under the Seismic-Gap theory for prediction of earthquakes it is forecasted that the region is likely to witness a major earthquake in the very near future. The monsoon in the region normally commences around the months of April and May and is active till the end of October. The pre-monsoon period is often marked by severe cyclonic storms and hailstorms. The annual cyclonic depressions in the Bay of Bengal along the coast of Bangladesh cause severe storms to hit the bordering states of Meghalaya and Tripura. Considerable variation in the precipitation during a particular month /period at a given place has also been observed, and this variation results in drought like conditions in many parts of the region. Continued deforestation and demand for more and more agricultural land has also lead to destabilization of hill slopes in many states, which during the monsoons come down as landslides. Unscientific mining in the states have also rendered many a hillside vulnerable to cave-ins and landslides. Experiences of the earlier earthquakes in the region have led people here to construct flexible and sufficiently earthquake proof houses popularly known as "Assam Type" (Nandi, 1999). The scenario has changed now and these houses have paved the way for multistory masonry buildings particularly in the capital towns of all the seven states of the region. If the present trend of construction and population growth 8

continues, the earthquake of magnitude > 7.5 will bring enormous damage to property and great loss of lives. In this context it is therefore important for the administrative agencies to reflect and plan for strict enforcement of proper building codes and appropriate land use policy in the region. The vulnerability to natural disasters combined with socio-economic vulnerability of the people living in these states poses a great challenge for the government machinery and underscores the need for a comprehensive plan for disaster preparedness and mitigation. Training and capacity building of the officials dealing with emergency situations would be an important instrument of disaster reduction and recovery. The vulnerability to natural disasters combined with socio-economic vulnerability of the people living in the different states, pose a great challenge for the government machinery and underscores the need for a comprehensive plan for disaster preparedness and mitigation. The Government of India since the last decade has been actively supporting programs for reduction of vulnerabilities and risks. UNDP has been a partner of the Government of India in such efforts. Vulnerability reduction and linking with sustainable development efforts has been one of the key approaches of UNDP. Strengthening capacities for disaster risk reduction and sustainable recovery process across the country and bringing together skills and resources for making communities disaster resistant is one of the first steps taken in the long term for achieving reduction in loss of lives and protecting the development gains. Great Assam Floods in 2004: Incessant rains since the last week of June, 2004 through out the State of Assam and adjoining states of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Bhutan had resulted in floods in the river Brahmaputra and its tributaries as well as Barak and its tributaries. One characteristic of this flood was the sudden rise in water levels due to release of water from dams, reservoirs and artificial lakes within and outside the country. It is for the first time in history perhaps that floods have sustained in one wave for such a long time and have affected all the districts of the State. At certain stations, the current deluge had surpassed the recorded highest levels. The sustained water level of the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers above the danger levels for an unprecedented length of time, the number of casualties incurred, the number of relief camps being opened, along with the mammoth number of inmates who were being managed by the District Administration, and the very fact that all twenty seven districts were affected are all indicators of the enormity of the disaster. In the rescue phase, the State machinery, Army, Air force, the paramilitary forces and special Disaster Management teams of the CISF worked day and night to mitigate the sufferings of the people in distress. The Government machinery and the society both faced the crisis courageously. In the road ahead, the apprehension of incidence of waterborne diseases like diarrhoea and dysentery, mosquito generated diseases like malaria and encephalitis as also fever in a 9

large scale couldnot be ruled out but all possible steps had been taken by the government machinery to prevent such occurrences.

CHAPTER 4 MASTER PLAN (Disaster Response) (The Plan will be applicable in case of any type of disaster (natural and man-made) and also subject to modification by order of the Deputy Commissioner, Goalpara) 2006 RELIEF SCHEME GOALPARA DISTRCT 1. District Profile : The district of Goalpara is situated on the south bank of river Brahmaputra. The district covers an area of 1,831 square kilometers and is bounded by west and East Garo hills district of Maghalaya on the south and Kamrup district on the East, Dhubri district on the West and river Brahmaputra all along the North. The geographical location of the district is between latitude 25* 53 and 26*30 N and longitude 90*07 and 91*05 E. the topography of Goalpara district is generally characterized by cultivable plains except for few low forested hills. The main tributaries of Brahmaputra river flowing through the district are Dudhnoi,Krishnai, Jinjiram,Jinari and Deosila. The rivers are all perennial in nature. Natural lake such as Urpad 15

beel,hasila Beel,Kumuri Beel & Dhamar Risan Beel exist in the district and several other artificial ponds are also seen. There are a number of reserve and proposed reserve forests in the district. 2. The climate in the district is moderate during the winter and in summers it is hot. Rain makes its first appearance in the month of April with occasiona; and irregular light showers and at times heavy downpour followed by the cyclonic storm. The irregular rainfall continues up to the end of May. The rain occurs due to the influence of North- Eastern wind. Monsoon rain normally begins from early part of june and heavy or very heavy rains occur in the the district till the month of October. The maximum temperature is 33* C during July and August and the minimum temperature dips down to 7* C in the month of January. About 80 % rainfall is from South West monsoon. 3. The district is primarily agrarian as 90% of the population depends for their live hood on agriculture. The district is industrially backward and there are no exiting industries. It was a land locked district with poor transport and communication facilities till the opening of rail cum road bridge, the Naranarayan Setu,over the river Brahmaputra.It is also expected that the proposed Industrial Growth Centre at Matia (near Sainik School, Goalpara) will give a boost to the development of industries in the district. 4. As per 2001 census, the total population of the district is 8,22,306. The density of population is 451 persons per square km. The district is the home of large number of different communities. 5. Objective : The aims of this flood relief Master Plan is to lay down comprehensive guidelines for conduct of relief operations in Goalpara District and make preparations in advance to meet various contingencies that may arise. 16

2.WORST CASE /EARLIER EXPERIENCE An unprecedented devastating flash flood occurred on the night of 7 th Oct,2004 due to cloud burst at Balbala area under under Matia Circle and Dadan area under Lakhipur circle in the district of Goalpara. The havoc cast by that unprecedented incedent was so tremendous that with in a couple of hours on that fateful night,thousands of families rendered homeless, 182 persons were killed,13,221nos of cattle and other live stocks were lost. Further an area of 445.58 Hectres of jute field 11,115.00 Hectres of paddy field and 493.00 Hectres of other crops were completely deluged. There had been a situation of almost beyond control. Apart from the civil administration, the army, police & paramilitary forces had to be pressed in to service round the clock for rescue, relief and re sheltering operation. Prior to this hard breaking devastating incedent the District never experienced any other similar nature of incident. Various NGOs, agencies and voluntary organizations cameforward to render their help and assistance to the District Administration in combating with the situation. 3. WATER LEVEL Water level of the river Brahmaputra is maintained by Goalpara Water Resource Division with its gauge site near old circuit house, Goalpara. The informations are :- a) Highest water level = 37.47 (on 27.08.1988) b) Danger level of the river Brahmaputra = 36.27 Mtr. c) Maximum water level of the year 2003 36.86 Mtr. 2004 37.35 Mtr. 2005 36.37 Mtr. 2006 35.53 Mtr.(upto 30.06.2006) 17

d) Rainfall in Goalpara district. in 6 (six) consecutive years from 2001 1877 mm 2002 2424mm 2003 1849 mm 2004 2447 mm 2005 1973 mm 2006 503.30 mm (up to 30.06.2006) e) Approximate average rain fall of Goalpara is 2305.2 mm 4. GENERAL BEHAVIOUR OF RIVERS/DRAINAGE INTO RIVER BRAHMAPUTRA :- The main tributaries, those fall into the river Brahmaputra under jurisdiction of Goalpara Water Resource Division are river Dudhnoi,Krishnai and Jinari. All the three rivers originate from Garo Hills in Maghalaya and flow in meandering courses. The rivers flow in a steep gradient for which they are flushy in nature. They also carry huge amount of silt load during the flood season every year and they are getting deposited in the plains of Assam. The river beds are gradually rising because of the fact for which bank erosion at different locations are going on. 5. ASSESSMENT OF REQUIREMENT FOR RESCUE -AVAILABILITY From the reports submitted by the Zonal officers, it reveled that 450 nos of Country boat and 350 nos of Engine boats are locally available whichcan be hired and placed for relief & rescue operation as and when required. In case of dire necessicity engine boats are also hired from the I.W.T authority of Goalpara. Moreover. In case of extreme urgency the District Administration may also seek the help and assistance of the Army units located at Agia, Krishnai and Lakhipur for this purpose. Necessary correspondence may be made by the Deputy Commissioner to 18

the authority of the Army unit to keep themselves fully equipped with flood fighting instruments / equipment. The reports furnished by the Zonal officers reveled the following shelter placed and high lands for proving shelters to the flood affected people. Sl.
