Emergency Action Plan
HIRAKUD DAM
Project ID Code [OR10HH0003]
Sambalpur, Odisha
Disclaimer
Every effort has been taken to estimate the severity of flooding and inundation areas likely to be affected
by Hirakud Dam in an emergency condition. These estimates are based on available primary and secondary
data. Every effort has been made to foresee varied emergency possibilities and develop appropriate
notification procedures for timely rescue and relief operations. However, implementation of the Emergency
Action Plan (EAP) involves many agencies, who are required to work in a coordinated manner to reduce the
consequences of the emergency triggered by the dam site condition. Effectiveness of the rescue and relief
operations depend on many factors including the adequacy and accuracy of the estimation of the severity of
flooding, coordinated efforts of all the agencies involved in rescue and relief efforts and availability of
facilities like power, telephones, road communications, etc. EAP Developer may therefore, not be held
responsible for the efficacy of the EAP.

FOREWORD
The basic purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for emergency operations. The plan is intended to assist
key city officials and emergency organizations to carry out their responsibilities for the protection of life and
property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
When disasters threaten or strike a jurisdiction, people expect elected leaders to take immediate action to
deal with the problem. Local government is expected to marshal its resources, channel the efforts of voluntary
agencies and private enterprise in the community, and solicit assistance from outside the jurisdiction, if
necessary.
This is the Emergency Action Plan for Hirakud Dam Project. It assigns responsibility to organizations and
individuals for carrying out specific actions in emergencies exceeding the capacity or routine responsibility of
any agency. The Plan sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships and shows how
coordination should be achieved. The Plan describes how people and property will be protected and
identifies personnel and resources available within the districts involved, or by agreement with others, for use
during response and recovery operations.
Although an organization may have the foresight to plan for anticipated situations, such planning is of little
worth if the planning is not reduced to written form. Personnel familiar with unwritten plans may be
unavailable at the time it becomes necessary to implement them. A written plan will furnish a documentary
record, which can be referred to as needed. This documentary record will serve to refresh the knowledge of
key individuals and can be used to inform persons who become replacements.
Primary goals of the Emergency Action Plan are:

 Protect life and property and alleviate human distress.
 Ensure that the public safety and welfare is maintained by coordinating aid.
 Improve emergency response through planning and education.
 Define roles of departments and agencies for large and small emergencies.
 Develop effective response and coordination among district agencies.
 Promote mobilization with less duplication of effort or gaps.
 Outline access to resources within corresponding districts.
 Encourage partnerships between government, private and volunteer sectors.
 Outline the recovery and restoration process (resilience).

PREFACE
The Central Dam Safety Organization (CDSO) recognize that having an effective Emergency Action Plan
(EAP) for all high- and significant-hazard potential dams in India is critical to reduce the risks of loss of life
and property damage from dam failures. It is especially critical to have an EAP at the high hazard potential
dams that have been found to be unsafe or do not meet current accepted dam safety criteria.
There is a consensus in the dam safety community that some of the major reasons for the lack of an EAP at
some high-hazard potential dams are the cost of detailed dam break studies and the lack of
knowledge/resources from part of Dam Owner‘s officials to carry out such type of analysis by their own. In
addition, it has become increasingly clear that many dam owners do not understand their personal liability
for the downstream loss of life and property damage in the event their dam fails.
Dam owners of high- and significant-hazard potential dams are encouraged to contact the Dam Safety
Organization either at Central or State level (CDSO and SDSO) for further guidance on emergency action
planning and the use of the resources included in this EAP, as well as for additional resources the State Dam
Safety Organization may have to assist dam owners in the preparation of EAPs.

LOG SHEET OF CHANGES
The following changes have been made to the EAP and revisions have been provided to the people shown on
the EAP Distribution List
DATE CHANGE MADE SIGNATURE

Update of the entire document, adding new and updated
October notification Flow Charts, inundation maps, including
2018 recurrent flood scenarios and local evacuation plan. David Gonzalez (CPMU
Changes made in overall responsibilities Consultant)

1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is to identify emergency situations that could threaten
Hirakud Dam and to plan for an expedited, effective response to prevent failure of the dam and warn
downstream residents of impending danger. This plan defines the notification procedures to be followed in
the event of a potentially hazardous situation. The procedures are intended to protect lives and prevent
property damage from an excessive release of water from the dam spillways or an uncontrolled outflow of
water from the breached portion of dam.
2. DAM DESCRIPTION
2.1. General
Hirakud Dam and Reservoir are owned and operated by Odisha Water Resources Department. It is located
on Mahanadi River in Sambalpur District, approximately 15 km. Northwest of Sambalpur City, Odisha. The
dam was completed in 1957 and was granted to Owner in 1958. The reservoir was constructed to serve as
multiple purposes.
A vicinity map showing the location of the dam is presented in Annexure 1 and its salient features are
summarized in Annexure 2. Inundation maps showing the areas subject to flooding as a result of a dam
failure along with other recurrent flood scenarios are provided in the Annexure 2 (Inundation Maps) of this
document. The inundation area is described in further detail in the Inundation Area Section of this EAP
document (Section 9).
The main dam is 4,800 m. long and it is a combination of concrete gravity, masonry and zoned earth fill
sections (Figure 1). Average height of the dam is 45.75m and maximum height above deepest foundation is
60.96m. The dam is flanked by two earthen dykes. The left dyke is 9,837m. long with 5 gaps and the right
dyke is 10, 759 m. long in one stretch.
The spillways on either side are solid gravity type with ogee crest. The right and left spillway have 24 nos.
and 40 nos. under-sluices of size 3.658 m. x 6.08 m. each, respectively. Besides this, there are radial gates
of 13 nos. on right spillway and 21 nos. on left spillway of size 15.54m x 6.10m each.
Three head regulators are provided from the reservoir for irrigation. They are Bargarh Main Canal, Sason
Main Canal and Sambalpur Distributary having discharge 108.16 m3/s, 17.82 m3/s and 3.59 m3/s,
respectively.
The power dam close to right abutment is provided with 7 nos. of penstocks, 5 nos. of 7.6 m diameter and 2
nos. of 6.1m diameter. The power house is located at the toe of the power dam on the right flank. Full supply
discharge from the Power House-I at Burla is 990.50 m3/s.
ODISHA WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT 1| Pag.

Figure 1.- General Layout Hirakud dam
2.2. Reservoir Operations

Hirakud project though conceived as a multipurpose project with an emphasis on flood control, due to acute
shortage of food grains in the country, the priorities of the purposes were changed to the order (i) Irrigation
(ii) flood control (iii) Power generation and (iv) Navigation in the revised project report.
For flood control Hirakud‘s Operator adopt a pre-depletion plan based on the likelihood of flood flows in
the basin. This is achieved through a continuous data acquisition process since the moment of storm formation
till the moment flood‘s waves reach the reservoir, which leads to an increased knowledge and accuracy
during the decision-making process. The following inputs/information is used to support the reservoir
operation
a) Satellite images of cloud formation.

b) India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast indicating monsoon through, storm track, circulation
etc.
c) Storm characteristics and IMD prediction of QPF.
d) Average rainfall calculated from daily/3 hrly rainfall records of 40 stations in upper stations and 31
stations of lower catchment.
e) Runoff records from gauging stations in upper catchment can give inflow to reservoir 48 hours in
advance, though approximate.
f) Runoff records from gauging stations in upper catchment give inflow records 24 hours in advance of
reaching the dam site. The runoff from lower catchment at delta head can be predicted
approximately from the rainfall records about 60 hours in advance.
g) The releases from upstream reservoirs if intimated in advance will further help the reservoir operation.
h) Rule curve (1988) for Hirakud‘s reservoir (Figure 2), which is aimed to create a cushion for flood
absorption in the beginning of the monsoon season and fill-up the reservoir in 90% of the years by
the end of the flood period.

Local officials and downstream residents will be notified by landline telephone, if available; otherwise via
cell phones or emergency personnel (in person or using their radios). The various networks for emergency use
include the networks of the following:
• Flood Control Room, Burla

• Indian Meteorological Department
• Central Water Commission
• All affected Districts Police and Fire Departments (See Table 5)
• Odisha Disaster Management Authority
• Army/Navy Forces
Sample public announcements appear in ANNEXURE 6 and internal suggested phone messages are also
available in each notification flow chart. Verification or authentication of the situation can be made by
contacting the Emergency Planning Manager and the corresponding district disaster management officials
(See District-wise Notification Flow Charts Tab). Television, Radio and bulk SMS facilities of the local
Mobile Network Operators can be used as much as possible to notify area residents of the possible dangers.

As per notification responsibilities (Section 3.3) public announcements are to be issued by the concerned
District Disaster Management officials and the Chief Engineer & Basin Manager, Upper Mahanadi Basin,
Burla in coordination with media representatives.
5. EMERGENCY DETECTION, EVALUATION, AND CLASSIFICATION

5.1. Emergency Detection
5.1.1. Situations
Many dam conditions can lead to emergency situations, not all of which will require the implementation of the
EAP. However, if any of them occur, the appropriate actions must be taken. ANNEXURE 4 of this EAP shows
the most common emergency situations that may emerge in Hirakud Dam and appurtenances, along with the
corresponding specific actions to be done by each of the dam‘s officials. Some of these emergency situations
are summarized as follows:
• Severe Storms/Inclement Weather: Although generally not in themselves a threat to the dam, severe
storms and other inclement weather conditions can contribute to an existing problem and hinder any
remediation efforts. Severe storms also cause the uncontrolled release of floodwater, and increase
flow in already rain-swollen areas.
• Tropical cyclones: Tropical cyclones do occur in the area, with the potential for structural damage to
the dam, possibly resulting in its failure. If a tropical cyclone has struck in the area, an inspection of
the dam for any signs of damage will be appropriate.
• Earthquakes: Hirakud dam is located in the Seismic Zone Number III. This zone is classified as
Moderate Damage Risk Zone which is liable to MSK VII. and also 7.8. The IS code assigns zone
factor of 0.16 for Zone III. Therefore, an earthquake is a possibility, and appropriate post-
earthquake inspections should be performed.
• Sabotage: A threat to damage the dam has been made. Appropriate actions must be taken to
protect the dam.
5.1.2. Signs of Failure

Site engineers in coordination with the Executive Engineer (Main Dam Division) are responsible for conducting
routine inspections and identifying conditions that could indicate the onset of problems leading to a dam
failure. The early identification of potentially dangerous conditions can allow time for the implementation of
the EAP. The following sections describe some of the different types of failure which could lead to a dam
failure.
• Seepage Failure: Although all earthen embankments allow some minor seepage through the dam or
the foundation, excessive, uncontrolled seepage can result in piping (the movement of embankment
material in the seepage flow) and lead to failure. Piping can occur for years at a slow rate. If the
piping has progressed to a dangerous level, it will be evident by increased flow or the discharge of
muddy water (or both). At that stage, immediate action to stop the piping is needed. Fully developed
piping is difficult to control and is very likely to result in failure. A whirlpool in the reservoir is a sign
of uncontrollable piping and necessitates immediate emergency action.
• Embankment or Foundation Sliding: Sliding is usually first apparent when cracks or bulges in the
embankment appear. Slides with progressive movement can cause failure of the embankment.
• Structural Failure: The structural failure or collapse of any non-overflow portion of the dam, spillway
or spillway gates could result in loss of the reservoir. A structural failure of a portion of the spillway
could cause piping and possibly embankment failure.

• Overtopping Failure: Overtopping of the embankment results in erosion of the dam crest. Once erosion
begins, it is very difficult to stop.
5.2. Emergency Evaluation and Classification

This section lists the conditions and actions which may be used to classify the level of emergency response, as
a guide for the Emergency Planning Manager (Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division). Specific dam
observations and corresponding emergency classification levels can be found in ANNEXURE 4, along with
appropriate and recommended actions to follow in each case.
Internal Alert Condition BLUE – A ―watch‖ condition. A problem has been detected at the dam that requires
constant monitoring. At this time, the distress condition is manageable by dam personnel. The Emergency
Planning Manager (Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division) along with the support of site engineers will be
responsible for monitoring and repair as soon as possible and implementing the appropriate Notification
Flowchart. The following is a list of conditions that would initiate this condition:
• Cloudy or dirty seepage or seepage with an increase in flow, boils, piping, or bogs
• Large sinkholes with corresponding seepage anywhere on the embankment or downstream from the
toe.
• Any slide that degrades the crest of the embankment or that is progressively increasing in size
• Cracking or movement of any concrete structure
• An increase in the reservoir level leading to engagement of the spillway gate‘s
• Exceptionally heavy rainfall in the catchment of the dam reservoir
External Alert Condition ORANGE – This is indicative of a dam condition that is progressively getting worse;
and there is a high probability of dam failure. Although there is no immediate danger, the dam could fail if
conditions continue to deteriorate. The Emergency Planning Manager (Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division)
will be responsible for initiating immediate repairs, including lowering the reservoir if appropriate and
implementing the appropriate Notification Flowchart. The following is a list of conditions that would initiate
this condition:
• Any spillway‘s release matching with an ORANGE alert in accordance with the Table 1 (Trigger
Levels of Alert for Normal discharges of Hirakud’s Spillway)
• Large boils, increasing in size and flow rate, especially if there is flowing muddy water
• Significantly increasing seepage, especially flowing muddy water
• Slides involving a large mass of material that impairs the crest of the dam and is continuing to move
• Sinkholes with seepage flowing muddy water
• Large cracks, movement or failure of a portion of any major concrete structure that forms an integral
part of the dam
• An increase in the reservoir level to near the top of the dam
• Near to ‗Design Flood‘ inflow forecast
External Alert Conditions RED – These are ―failure‖ conditions. Either the dam is in immediate danger of
failing or has already failed. No time remains to implement measures to prevent failure. Evacuate
immediately. Evacuation efforts will continue until the situation is stabilized. The Emergency Planning Manager
(Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division) is responsible for implementing the appropriate Notification
Flowchart. The following is a list of conditions that would initiate ―imminent dam failure‖ or ―dam failure‖
conditions:
• Any spillway‘s release matching with a RED alert in accordance with the Table 1 (Trigger Levels of
Alert for Normal discharges of Hirakud’s Spillway)

• Rapidly increasing boils or the presence of new, significantly flowing boils, particularly muddy ones
near previously identified ones.
• Rapidly increasing seepage, especially flowing muddy water
• Slides involving a large mass of material or which have degraded the crest of the embankment to a
level that approaches the water surface level, or if significant seepage is observed through the slide
area
• Settlement that is predicted to degrade to the reservoir level
• Cracks that extend to the reservoir level
• Significant movement or failure of any structure that forms an integral part of the dam
• Overtopping of the earthen dam
• Uncontrollable release of the reservoir
5.3. Previously Known Problems

Insufficient Discharge Capacity: Design Flood has been revised and a PMF with a peak value of 69,632 m3/s
was accepted by CWC in 1997. However, the current discharge capacity of the spillways and under sluices
is only 42,450 m3/s, which is around 27,000 m3/s below the vetted design flood. Currently, the provision of
an additional spillway with a discharge capacity of 9,000 m3/s is under process.
Seepage: There are four (4) seepage locations in Left Earth Dam and six (6) in Right Earth Dam. There are 57
nos. of seepage locations in Left Dyke. ‗V‘ notches have been fixed in the cross drains leading from the toe of
the Dam and Dykes. As per report of the Chief Research Officer, Hirakud Research Officer, Hirakud, the
seepage of the dam is well under permissible limit
Instrumentation: Several instruments are not in working conditions (cross arms, base plates, piezometers), which
stop de possibility to monitor the dam performance in a proper way.
Erosion: Small erosion in the Hirakud Dam energy dissipation bucket has been observed, which is visually
inspected in regular basis
Cracks/Structural Concerns: cavities and cracks have been detected in blocks of the left and right spillway, as
well as in the power dam.
6. PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness actions are to be taken both before and following the development of emergency conditions
and should identify ways of preparing for an emergency, increasing response readiness in a uniform and
coordinated manner, and helping to reduce the effects of a dam failure. The following are some steps that
could prevent or delay failure after an emergency is first dis-covered.
6.1. Surveillance
Round the clock surveillance at the dam and its appurtenant (on the rim of reservoir (left & right)) will be
carried out by site engineers during emergency situations. For this, the posting of special observer of high
experience and keen observation is an important requirement of EAP during high flood period. To ensure that
the whole system (including civil structures & mechanical installations) is being maintained well upto
satisfactory level, the repair maintenance must be carried out as per requirement of O & M of Hirakud Dam.
In addition it must be ensured that maintenance and upkeep of different components is carried out and will
be only possible through deployment of well procedure conversant and trained staff. The list of such persons
should be displayed on a photo frame mounting at convenient safe places at dam site and list of local
telephone numbers inside the dam & outside the dam area. It will be updated from time to time for any
change.

6.2. Response on forecast of excessive inflow
There are more than 200 rain gauge stations existing in Mahanadi basin, which are maintained by different
agencies I.M.D. Out of these around 100 stations are located in upper Mahanadi basin upstream of Hirakud
dam. But no data on real time basis, except in respect of stations maintained by Hirakud Dam Project (HDP)
and Central Water Commission (CWC), is obtained for used in operation of Hirakud reservoir and flood
forecasting.
Hirakud dam project maintains total 11 nos, gauging stations out of which 7 nos. are in upstream and 4 nos.
are in downstream of Hirakud dam. All these eleven stations are river gauge and rain gauge stations. All
stations are ordinarily rain gauge stations and operative only in monsoon period. Normally only gauges are
observed every 3 hours; in high flood periods hourly gauges are observed and transmitted through wireless
network installed through State Police. Discharge observation is made in specific stations at intervals. Rainfall
observations are twice in a day at 8.30hr. Stage discharge curve developed for each site are used for flood
forecasting. In addition, two (2) gauge stations are established in Kheruwal (Bheden river) and Patharla (Tel
river) for observations only.
Subsequent to devastating floods of 1982, the Mahanadi Division, Burla was established by C.W.C. in
Sept.1983, at the request of Govt. of Orissa, for flood forecasting in Mahanadi basin. C.W.C. maintains river
gauge network of 32 sites spread over the whole basin out of which 28 sites are under Brahmani, Mahanadi
Division Burla, one under Eastern River Division Bhubaneswar and three sites under Brahmani, Subarnarekha
division, Bhubaneswar. Discharge observations are made at 22 sites. Silt observation are conducted at 13
sites/. Gauge are observed hourly in monsoon period and thrice daily in non-monsoon period. Discharge is
observed once daily on all working days. Silt is observed once daily in monsoon and once every week during
non-monsoon.
Out of 34 gauge stations over the basin for which data are available with C.W.C., 33 stations are
maintained by C.W.C. and one by F.M.D.(IMD). Eleven of these are equipped with S.R.R.G as well as O.R.G.
Rainfall observations are conducted every 3 hourly at most of the stations under C.W.C.
Rainfall data of Burla (HDP) and Hirakud (IMD) is received once daily at 8.30 hrs. mostly at a later either by
telegram, police wireless or post.
6.3. Response during weekends and holidays

The Standard Operating Procedure with Reservoir Operation & Maintenance Manual and Gate Operation
Manual are strictly followed throughout the year whether it is weekends/holidays/night. Executive Engineer
(Main Dam Division) will be available for emergency response during weekends and holidays and can be
present at the dam site within 15 minutes of detection of an emergency condition. In case of non-availability
of the Executive Engineer (Main Dam Division), the Assistant Executive Engineer or Deputy Executive Engineer
will take his responsibilities.
6.4. Response during periods of darkness and adverse weather

The Executive Engineer (Main Dam Division) and Site Engineers will arrange for access to generators and lights
to adequately monitor the situation. Site Engineers will ensure the generators and emergency light are well
maintained and available under any circumstances. Executive Engineer (Main Dam Division) will be able to
access the site during adverse weather conditions by off road vehicle.

6.5. Access to the site
The following accesses to the dam are available, and depending of the emergency situation some of them
should be used with caution or totally avoided (See Table 7 and ANNEXURE 1. Vicinity Map)

6.6. Remedial Actions

Preparedness and remedial actions can be taken in an emergency to prevent the catastrophic failure of the
dam, but such repairs should be undertaken with extreme caution. The repairs are only temporary, and a
permanent repair should be designed by an engineer as soon as possible.
Specific actions for different emergency situations are described in the ANNEXURE 4 (Action Data Sheets),
which can be used in conjunction with Annex Table I.- Emergency Level Determination - Action Data Sheet
Index). Examples of the actions to be taken for dam‘s officials under the direction of a professional engineer
or contractor are described below. In all cases, the appropriate Notification Flowchart must be implemented
and the personnel of the Odisha Dam Safety Organization be notified.
Consider the following remedial actions if the dam‘s integrity is threatened by:
Seepage Failure
• Plug the flow with whatever material is available (hay, bentonite, or plastic) if the entrance is in the
reservoir.
• Consider lower the water level in the reservoir
• Place an inverted filter (a protective layer of sand and gravel) on the exit area to hold the material
in place.
• Continue operating at a lower level until a repair is made.
Embankment or Foundation Sliding
• Lower the water level in the reservoir to an elevation considered safe, given the slide condition.

• Stabilize the slide, if on the downstream slope, by weighting the toe area below the slide with soil,
rock, or gravel.
• Continue operating at a lower level until a repair is made.
Structural Failure
• Implement temporary measures to protect the damaged structure, such as placing rock riprap in the
damaged area.
• Lower the water level to a safe elevation through the low flow outlet.
7. SUPPLIES AND RESOURCES

7.1. Contracts
If Hirakud Project‘s personnel and resources prove to be inadequate during an emergency, requests will be
made for assistance from other local jurisdictions, other agencies, and industry, as needed. Such assistance
may include equipment, supplies, or personnel. All agreements will be entered into by the following
authorized officials, as deemed necessary to prevent the failure of the dam:
• Emergency Planning Manager (Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division)

• Superintending Engineer, Hirakud Dam Circle
• Chief Engineer & Basin Manager, UMB
7.2. Equipment and Supplies

Equipment that is available for use and local contractors that can be contacted to provide equipment during
an emergency event are listed in ANNEXURE 5.
7.3. Reports
Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon inspections of the dam are made every year during the month of May and
December respectively by the Site Engineers in coordination with the Emergency Planning Manager (Executive
Engineer, Main Dam Division) to evaluate its structural safety, stability, and operational adequacy. In the event
of an abnormal occurrence, reference to these reports, particularly the photographs, can be beneficial in the
evaluation of a potential problem.
Technical records such as drawings and inspection reports are stored and carefully maintained at the Control
Room in dam site and in the Emergency Planning Manager’s Office. Site Engineers are familiar with the location
of the documents in the event of an emergency situation.
8. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTRE

8.1. Activity log
Any unusual or emergency condition should be documented, including the following:
• Activation or deactivation of emergency facilities

• Emergency notifications to other local governments and to state and central government agencies
• Significant changes in the emergency
• Major commitments of resources or requests for additional resources from external sources
• Telephone calls will be recorded in chronological order

• Issuance of protective action recommendations to the public
• Evacuations and casualties
• Termination of the incident
8.2. Costs of the Emergency Operations Centre

For major emergencies, the emergency operations centre will maintain detailed records of costs expended.
These records may be used to recover costs from the responsible party or insurers, or as a basis for
requesting financial assistance for certain allowable response and recovery costs from the state or central
government. Documented costs should include:
• Personnel costs, especially overtime

• Equipment operation
• Equipment leasing and rental
• Contract services to support emergency operations
• Specialized supplies expended in emergency operations
9. INUNDATION AREA
Inundation maps in ANNEXURE 2 illustrate the areas subject to flooding from a failure of the main dam and
others recurrent flood scenarios (Table 8). The maps were prepared using the results of a two-dimensional
flow analysis and contain profiles of the peak flood levels expected, as well as an estimation of the time
from the beginning of the breach to the moment the location start to be inundated. More hazard reference
values such as depth, velocity, vulnerability, and water surface elevation are included in ANNEXURE 2 in
both, tabular and map format for each of the affected locations

After examining the results of the breach analysis of Hirakud Dam, it has been determined that there were a
significant number of structures that could be affected due to a large discharge from the spillways or dam
breach scenario. These structures are located along the river Mahanadi and its tributaries, such as Jira, Ong,
Tel, Harihara Jora, and Surubali rivers. The most important crossing structures, susceptible to the failure
scenario, are summarized in the Table 9 below and are labelled in the ANNEXURE 1 (Vicinity Map).
Hazard reference values (water surface elevation, depth, velocity, arrival time and vulnerability) for each of
these structures are summarized in the ANNEXURE 2 tables along with the inundation maps for each case.

relief authorities.
Table 12 includes the district-wise total affected area within each hazard-vulnerability classification, which
can help/assist district authorities to prioritize in identifying critical infrastructure and sites with population at
risk that may require protective measures and warning and evacuation planning. This Table can be used
along with inundation maps included in ANNEXURE 2.
The vulnerability to hazard will also be influenced by whether the primary consideration is either the strategic
land use planning aimed to ensure that the land use is compatible with the flood risk or assessing
development proposals or emergency management planning aimed to address residual flood risks.

9.1. Local Evacuation Plan

If imminent failure of Hirakud Dam with uncontrolled downstream flooding is anticipated, local disaster
management and law enforcement personnel should notify those downstream (Table 10), for evacuation in
the most expedient manner possible following the procedure given in the notification flow charts of this
document (Notification Flow Chart Tab). Local law enforcement officials, along with local mobile network
operators, radio and media representatives can best spread the notice for evacuation (See Responsibilities
Sections, 3.3 and 3.4)
In addition, ANNEXURE 4 (Emergency Level Determination & Action Data Sheets) can be used as support
in the decision-making process either to escalate or downgrade en emergency event. The most important
actions that should be taken during an evacuation process are:

• Police Departments will barricade all bridges and roads that could possibly be flooded to prevent
access to the affected area. These bridges include all Mahanadi crossings and its tributaries as well
as those affected roads shown in the ANNEXURE 2 (Inundation Maps). Inundation Maps along with
Flood Hazard Reference Values in crossings locations included in this annexure indicate the
appropriate barricade locations under the responsibility of local law-enforcement authorities.
• The Districts Disaster Management Authorities (Districts Collectors) will assist with the notification of all
persons and agencies involved (relief authorities), with the possibility of additional support—including
contacting others not accessible by radio or telephone.
• Relief Authorities (Police, Fire, Army) are generally familiar with developed areas in their jurisdiction.
Such knowledge, coupled with the requirements of state law that they respond to disasters, make them
the logical officials to be notified and to spread the warning message to all areas subject to flooding.
Based on the specific results of the dam breach analysis (wave arrival time) and the hazard vulnerability
classification (Table 11), a local evacuation plan has been developed to assist disaster management
authorities in the relief actions. The local evacuation plan can be found in the ANNEXURE 2 tables of this
EAP, and a complete list of relief camps (shelters) is included in ANNEXURE 3
10. IMPLEMENTATION
10.1. Development
This EAP version has been prepared by Central Project Management Unit in collaboration with Odisha Water
Resources Department. The document has been sent to the Odisha Dam Safety Organization and Disaster
Management Authority for review, and agency their comments will be incorporated into this document for
final publication.
10.2. Updating
Copies of the EAP have been provided to all authorities/officials included in the distribution list and the
document has been approved and signed by the Principal Secretary of Odisha Water Resources
Department, District Disaster Management Authority, and the Dam Safety Organization.
This plan will be reviewed and updated annually before the 1st of June of every year by the Emergency
Planning Manager (Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division) and the Superintending Engineer. This review will
involve corresponding personnel from local disaster management agencies in conjunction with Dam Safety
Organization‘s staff.
The Superintending Engineer will organize every year prior to monsoon an orientation meeting to introduce the
revised EAP to local officials, emergency responders. This meeting will give an opportunity to all the
stakeholders to review and comment on EAP document and their respective roles.
The Emergency Planning Manager (Executive Engineer, Main Dam Division) will review and complete all items on
the Annual EAP Evaluation Checklist in Annexure 8. After the annual update is complete, a new Approval
and Implementation sheet will be attached and the annual update will be documented on the Plan Review
and Update sheet in ANNEXURE 9.
If revisions to the EAP are made as a result of the annual update, such changes will be recorded on the Log
Sheet of Changes form at the front of the report. A copy of the updated portions of the EAP will be sent to
the SDSO and all other concerned as per the EAP Distribution List. If the EAP was reviewed and revisions
were not required, the [Dam Owner] will submit written notification to all concerned that no updates to the
EAP have been adopted or implemented.

10.3. Testing
The Superintending Engineer shall organize the following exercises as specified below:
• Orientation (Stakeholders’ Consultation): The Superintending Engineer will organize an orientation

meeting every year with local responders and stakeholders to solicit input, established roles during
emergency situation and facilitate reliable responses to the emergencies. In orientation meeting, the
Emergency Planning Manager will introduce the revised EAP to local officials and emergency
responders and provide those entities the opportunity to review and comment on the documents and
on their roles and responsibilities, described in EAP.
• Tabletop exercises: Superintending Engineer and Emergency Planning Manager will organize a table-
top drill once in 2 years to discuss and review the simulated or imaginary emergency situation. The
tabletop drill involves a meeting of Emergency Planning Manager with local and state Disaster
Management Officials in a conference room. The drill begins with a description of a simulated event
and proceeds with discussions by the participants to evaluate the EAP and response procedures, and
to resolve concerns regarding coordination and responsibilities. Any problems identified during a drill
should be included in revisions to the EAP.
Before the tabletop exercise begins, meeting participants will visit the dam to familiarize with the
dam site. Emergency Planning Manager will present a scenario of an unusual or emergency event at
the dam. The scenario will be developed prior to the exercise with the support of the Dam Safety
Organization.
Once the scenario has been presented, the participants will discuss the risk involved, responses and
related actions that they would take to address and resolve the scenario throughout the exercise. The
exercise provides an opportunity to discuss EAP and response procedures and resolve the questions
throughout the exercise. It will also clarify roles and responsibilities and will identify additional threat
mitigation and preparedness actions.
Records and reporting of the main conclusions/findings of both meetings will be maintained in ANNEXURE 10
and following the deadline given in Table 13.

10.4. Training
The Superintending Engineer will ensure all people involved in the EAP be trained to guarantee that they are
thoroughly familiar with its elements, the availability of equipment, and their responsibilities and duties under
the plan. Personnel will be trained in problem detection, evaluation, and appropriate corrective measures.
This training is essential for proper evaluation of developing situations at all levels of responsibility. Training
records will be maintained also in ANNEXURE 10.

B. Event may be Terminated only when either:
 There is no longer an impending threat of dam failure with no additional rainfall occurring and it has
been determined by NC Dam Safety staff safe to impound water or;
 The dam has failed AND there is no longer a threat to the downstream public
All contacts on Notification Flow Chart shall be updated of changes
Based on this determination, follow the appropriate actions
