Cyclic Graph
India in general is one of the most hazard prone countries in the world. 60% of the
country is prone to earthquakes of moderate to high intensity, 40 million hectares is
prone to floods, 5,700 km long coast is prone to cyclones and tsunamis and the whole
of Himalayas are prone to landslides. The state of Andhra Pradesh in particular is one
of the multi-hazard prone districts in India. As a result, it was important to develop a
plan that improves district’s response to disasters while improving its ability to mitigate
the disaster risks and increasing community’s resilience by implementing the
preparedness plan.
It was deemed important to put a plan in place for dealing with disasters in an
organized way with all the stakeholders well-aware of their role in responding and
preparing for disasters, as the district is responsible for responding to disasters through
its Incident Response Team in the disaster site, while the State and the Centre is
responsible for providing extended support, guidance, external resources or
additional help as required in case of any major disasters and upon the request of
support from the district.
The vision of District Disaster Management Plan is to enable disaster resilient
development in Chittoor district and continuity of services essential for life and dignity
of citizens during disaster and non-disaster situations.
1.1. The Objectives of the Plan:
• Identify areas in the district that are prone to natural and manmade
disasters;
• Understand the existing vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms of the
community by conducting panchayat level assessment exercise;
• Identify the measures that ought to be taken by the district
administration for prevention and mitigation of disasters;
• Build awareness among different stakeholders both at the
administrative as well as the community level by directly engaging
them in the process of district disaster management planning;
• Identify various existing development schemes that could be
implemented for mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in
development;
• Specify key areas for improving disaster resilience by awareness,
training and capacity-building of the stakeholders;
• Highlight preparedness measures required to be undertaken by the
district administration so as to be able to better respond to any
threatening disaster situation;
• Prepare the response plan for quick and effective response including
suggestive early warning system and emergency operation centres;
and
• Establish the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery plan in order
to restore the vital life support systems to minimum operating
standards at a first moment and work towards rehabilitating them to
at least the original standards.
1.2. Approach:
The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach
with emphasis on prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that
Disaster Management receives the highest priority at all levels in the district. It
has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of national and state level, from
reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach is aimed to
conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and
property. For efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the
Plan has been organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Normal Befor
Time Disaster
After During
Disaster Disaster
Disaster Cycle
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation1, leading to
prevention2 & risk reduction3. Before disaster stage: Activities include
preparedness to face likely disasters, dissemination of early warnings. During
disaster stage: Activities include quick response, relief, mobilization of search
&rescue, damage assessment. After disaster stage: Activities include recovery
& rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.
1.3. Methodology
District disaster management planning has often been criticized for being
comprised of general guidelines rather than actionable plans. It has also been
criticized to be incomplete in its approach for either non-involvement of
communities (the victims of disasters) or completing mere formality. Therefore,
with the aim to overcome this scenario, the District Disaster Management
Authority (DDMA) of Chittoor in partnership with AIDMI has worked to make this
plan more inclusive. The term inclusive points to a wider community outreach,
a greater ownership by district’s administrative officers and an institution-based
focus to address safety issues.
In view of this, the process was divided in two phases. The first phase was mainly
comprised of consultations with various stakeholders such as line departments,
MP Block Development Officers (MPDOs), members of Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRI), and vulnerable communities in order to collect the necessary
information and data and understand the particularities and matters related

The process is not necessarily successful if flaws are not found, but rather if the
appropriate measures are undertaken in face of the necessary improvements. In view
of this, the role and responsibilities of the DDMA are:
•Monitor the functioning and adequacy of the resources present in the district every
six months
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the
* respective nodal officers
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the
respective nodal officers
•Monitor that all the officers of the frontline departments are trained as per

When it comes to the external changes, the plan has to be updated once every year and

Every time that the DDMP is reviewed and updated, it has to be uploaded on the website
of the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) and the updated
version should distinctly mention the major changes and newly added components so that
any block or district official, community-based organisation, NDMA, can easily study the
plan etc. Additionally, the updated DDMP has to be circulated to all stakeholder
departments, agencies and organizations.
4NDMA, Training Manual - How to conduct Emergency Management Exercise (EMEx), September 2015
completed. These stages are mentioned below – detailed explanation of the phases,
timeline, critical actions, and outcomes and other information are found in the manual
itself.
1. The policy-level decision of the state/city approving the organization of the EMEx
is taken in this phase and it represents the commitment to hold the exercise.
2. Identification of the types of training tracks to be held in the EMEx and their
number.
3. Definition of the financial plan and budget of the EMEx and state commitment of
financial resources towards organizing it.
4. Selection of the city/venue for holding of the EMEx.
5. Identification and selection of key stakeholders required to conduct the EMEx, as
well as management of the logistics/operations required and monitoring
arrangements.
6. Formation of a state-level committee to look after the important decisions of
EMEx.
7. Identification of participants to attend the EMEx.
8. Follow-up phase, which includes documentation (e.g. after action and
evaluation reports), link to way ahead.
Besides that, regular monitoring is strongly recommended in order to ensure that the
preparation is on track.
b) Mock-drill
The nodal authority for the task of implementation of the DDMP, whether during or after
disasters, is the DDMA. In this regard, mock-drill exercises are required in order to verify
the level of preparedness and improve the coordination during emergencies.
Mock-drills help in evaluating response and improving coordination within the
administration, with various departments, non-government agencies, other
stakeholders and communities. They help in identifying the extent to which the DDMP is
effective and support the revision of the same, if required. These drills enhance the
ability to respond faster, better and in an organized manner during the response and
recovery phase. In sum, mock-drills are required for the following reasons:
- Make the plan usable;
- Improve the know-how of practices to be followed while dealing with disasters;
- Get communities prepared to deal more appropriately during disasters;
- Build the confidence of communities in the administration and respondents; and
- Make the plan more practicable by upgrading it as per the identified needs and
gaps.

Floods
10
1.4.1. Hazard: Flood
Floods by nature depend on several factors; one being incessant rains, cyclonic rains in a
short period of time crippling natural drainage. However, other factors such as nature of the
collecting basin, nature of the streams, type of soil, natural and man-made vegetation,
amount of rainfall etc. determine type and extent of floods. The inundation patterns and
potential areas that would be inundated due to river outflow and heavy rain is fairly certain;
and the concerned departments usually have the information. However, inundation due to
storm surges and cyclonic landfall is unpredictable and depends on the wind direction.
Floods in the district caused widespread loss to human lives, livestock, damaged homes and
caused crop destruction over the decades. Infrastructure damage due floods is well recorded.
As well as damages to roads, irrigation tanks breached.

Heatwave
33
1.4.3. Hazard: Heatwaves
(The above image shows the population at risk in Chittoor district due to heat wave
temperatures)
34
Heat wave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, more than the normal
maximum temperature that occurs during the pre-monsoon (April to June) summer
season. Heat -waves typically occur between March to June, and in some rare cases
even extend till July. Heat waves are more frequent over the Indo-Gangetic plains of
India. On an average, 5-6 heat wave events occur every year over the northern parts of
the country. The most notable amongst the recent ones are Hyderabad (Andhra
Pradesh) 46 °C.
The extreme temperatures combined with high humidity and resultant atmospheric
conditions adversely affect people living in these regions leading to physiological
stress, sometimes even death. This unusual and uncomfortable hot weather can impact
human and animal health and also cause major disruption in community infrastructure
such as power supply, public transport and other essential services. Heat wave is also
called a “silent disaster” as it develops slowly and kills and injures humans and animals
nationwide. Higher daily peak temperatures of longer duration and more intense heat
waves are becoming increasingly frequent globally due to climate change. India too is
feeling the impact of climate change in terms of increased instances of heat wave with
each passing year.

Drought
38
1.4.4. Hazard: Drought
Revenue (Relief) Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh defines drought as a
condition arising out of scarce rainfall. Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of
climate. It occurs in virtually all climatic zones, but its characteristics vary
significantly from one region to another. Drought is a temporary aberration; it
differs from aridity, which is restricted to low rainfall regions and is a permanent
feature of climate.
(The above image shows blocks with Drought Index within Chittoor district. The majority
of blocks in district fall in Moderate Drought Zones and a few blocks in Mild and Severe
Drought Zones.)

Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
46
2. Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
Disaster risk reduction is aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and
managing residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to
the achievement of sustainable development. Disaster risk reduction strategies and policies
define goals and objectives across different timescales and with concrete targets, indicators
and periods. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, these
should be aimed at preventing the creation of disaster risk, the reduction of existing risk and
the strengthening of economic, social, health and environmental resilience.

2.3. Capacity Building
Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self
or other than the self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self,
whereas, the skill to operate a fire extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire
extinguisher.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation
and disaster preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the
institutions as well as at the community level.
55
Institutional Capacity Building
The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district
level Disaster Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan
implementation strategy and its upward linkages to the State and downward linkages
to the communities. From the district side, the officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its
functioning, its roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster
Management Plan, the involvement of local bodies in the plan preparation and
implementation in coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and
panchayat levels, the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities
at Lo, L1, L2 period in coordination with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and
manpower. All these orientations through well-structured programmes are
specifically required because of the whole exercise of disaster management
still being relief centre with states and villages.
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase
understanding of issues and in the light of the increased understanding and
appreciation, to act in a desired manner in a given situation. The response is not
wooden but enlivened by the use of intelligence if the situation happens to be at
variance. It is a modulation which will be required, in the context of disaster
management, by the district level institutions, and government departments, the
district level agencies, stakeholders other than the state and its agencies, and the
people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward,
are the communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level
functionaries, the District administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are
the constitutional bodies and have well defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such,
disaster preparedness of a state is required to be measured in terms of community
preparedness. But, before preparing people, the state itself, its machinery, its
concerned institution, it functionaries at all level shall have to be prepared. That is,
before the disaster preparedness is initiated at the community level, the Gram
Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional, the District Disaster Management
Authority, the District level Emergency Operation Centre, the District Disaster
Management Plan shall be ready; the State Disaster Management Authority, the State
56
Disaster Response Force and State level Emergency Operation Centre all shall be
ready to get engaged to support community empowerment.
Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building
steps needs to be conducated;
57
the drought prone areas
Promoting social forestry in the area
Protecting and channelizing the source of water like
Drought steams, river in the locality.
Economizing water consumption.
Selection of crops suitable for drip irrigation.
Arrangements for alternative source of drinking water.
To keep the roof of their hutments firmly tied.
To remain alert for warning.
To orient their family members about high speed wind
and what they are expected to do.
High Velocity Wind Avoid keeping anything heavy or sharp on roofs of
hutments.
Identify an alternative and safe place to take refuge in
case of emergencies.

Disaster Response Plan
3
1.Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster
Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put in
place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory update
for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

11. Withdrawal of declaration of disaster on DC, Chittoor As on
normalization of the situation. normalization
of the
situation
1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

situation
1.4. Level 3
L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of a
wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early warning
or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan means setting
in motion command, coordination, and management of the situation. The activities
described in the following standard operating procedures (SOPs) are to be initiated
immediately to ensure that loss and damage are minimized. One SOP is in the case
where early warning is available, the other when there is no early warning, thus the
activation of the response depends on the type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood
and cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency
Operation Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that
warning information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and
resources to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing
the disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as
telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State
Disaster Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is
submitted to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well
as for supply of food, drinking water, and other materials.
10) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels.

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based on
the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the information
dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint District
Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the
early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the Village
Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural areas
13
and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early warning
communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses without
any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District Collector
from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers identified for
information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk Voice SMS
service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in their
panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
14
3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at low
cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as the
DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the previous
set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing an
important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.

Emergency communication
In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Chittoor
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of the
measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority towards
disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational Disaster
Emergency Operation Centre.
18
5.First Information Report
The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss
as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a
quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the
occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific format
in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on the
population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC). The FIR
can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then forwarded to
the DC.
19
6.District Crisis Management Group
Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,
chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the
backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary
findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries
associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At
this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).
The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited
needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair
items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important to
bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and sometimes
the security environment.

The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment is critical for decision makers in order for
them to plan the emergency response in the most appropriate and effective manner.
It includes mobilizing resources and deploying responders in areas that need urgent
actions as needed to minimize/avoid loss of lives. The format of this assessment is
found in detail below.

9.Incident Response System
The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the
phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up
approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers
prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required
resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary
agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback
to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.
The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district
administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of
this, the IRS for Chittoor was agreed during the consultations performed on field and
officials were appointed for each position.
In order to easily understand the IRS of Chittoor, following is the model IRS structure
as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management Authority. In
sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander, Information &
Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff encompasses
three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which being comprised
of various groups and units.
32
9.1. Chittoor Incident Response System
The IRS of Chittoor is presented below along with the description of various positions
and the respective officials in the district holding each of them.
33
9.2. Command staff – major responsibilities
The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of the
incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as follow:
The Incident Commander is the individual responsible for the management of all
incident operations of the incident site.
- Determine incident objectives and strategies based on the available information
and resources;
- Establish immediate priorities, including search and rescue, and relief
distribution strategies;
- Assess requirements for maintenance of law and order, traffic etc. if any at the
incident site, and make arrangements with help of the local police;
- Brief higher authorities about the situation and request for additional resources,
if required;
- Establish appropriate IRS organisation with Sections, Branches, Divisions and/or
Units based on the span of control and scale of the incident;
- Establish Incident Command Post at a suitable place. In case of total destruction
of buildings, tents or temporary shelters may be used as Incident Command Post
or even a mobile van with complete communication equipment. If appropriate or
enough space is not available, other Sections can function from a different
convenient location, as long as there is a proper, fail-safe contact with the ICP
in order to provide quick assistance;
- Approve and authorise the implementation of an Incident Action Plan and ensure
that it is regularly developed and updated as per debriefing of IRS members. It
will be reviewed every 24 hours and circulated to all concerned;
- Ensure that all Sections or Units are working as per Incident Action Plan and that
team members are briefed on performance of various activities;
- Ensure that planning meetings are held at regular intervals. The meetings will
draw out an implementation strategy for effective incident response. The
decision to hold this meeting is solely the responsibility of the IC. Apart from
other members, ensure that PSC attend all briefing and debriefing meetings;
- Ensure that adequate safety measures for responders and affected communities
are in place;
- Ensure proper coordination between all Sections of the IRS, agencies working in
the response activities and make sure that all conflicts are resolved;
- Approve and ensure that the required additional resources are procured and
issued to the concerned Sections, Branches and Units etc. and are properly
utilised.
34
- If required, establish contact with PRIs, urban local bodies, community-based
organizations, NGOs etc. and seek their cooperation in achieving the objectives
of Incident Action Plan and enlist their support to act as local guides in assisting
the external rescue and relief teams;
The Information and Media Officer is responsible for developing and releasing
information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and to
other appropriate agencies and organizations.
- prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others with the approval of the Incident Commander;
- monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;
- coordinate with India Meteorological Department (IMD) to collect weather
information and disseminate it to all concerned;
- maintain record of various activities performed;
- ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
- Organise Incident Action Plan meetings as directed by the Incident Commander or
when required.
Reasons for the Incident Commander to designate an Information and Media Officer:
- reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information;
- need to alert, warn or instruct the public;
- ensure that Incident Commander effectiveness is not obstructed by media
demands.
35
- keep the Incident Commander informed about arrivals of all the government and
non-government agencies and their resources;
- help in organising briefing sessions of all governmental and non-governmental
agencies with the Incident Commander.
Reasons to establish the Liaison Officer position at an incident:
- several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident in
support of their resources;
- the Incident Commander can no longer provide the time for individual
coordination with each agency representative;
- two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident
requires on-site liaison.

39
10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination
Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food, medical
services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore, government
should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the response. For instance,
in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was decided that the police would
take up the task of rescue operations and the revenue and panchayat administration
would concentrate on providing medical assistance and relief. In this sense, having a
disaster management plan prepared in advance is of fundamental importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by involving
officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like Labour Department
for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self Government and PWD for
Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire Services and Civil Defence
should be integrated with the DDMA, Chittoor as it is the nucleus of all disaster
management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA and
his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists keeping
in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the SEC
to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State needs
should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan, SOPs,
formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the various
disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be constituted
to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more professional
human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation Fund in
accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
At National Level:
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national level
should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis Management
Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that the National
Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of Secretaries, and is
enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management Authority, should also be
40
headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as the Vice Chairman and the
Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help in better coordination amongst
various departments. Director General, NDRF should be included as a member of NEC.
Institutionally, it should be ensured that the NEC meets at least once in a quarter, as
specified in the rules, to monitor all programs related to disaster management as well
as to see that the Disaster Management Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place
and functional. In accordance with section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA
should seek advice from the Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of
disaster management and having practical experience of disaster management at the
national, state or district level on various aspects of disaster management. In addition,
subject specific Sub-Committees may be constituted to look into the different aspects
of disaster management in respect of the specific disasters, helping preparation of
action plan and monitoring of gaps in implementation.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as bulldozers,
cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery), trucks, and
41
Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources that are
available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting the
necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves affected and
if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex problem
of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of heavy
equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room, desperately
asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able to respond
providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource to meet the
needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
42
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.
Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to sleep
outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of tents and
other temporary sheds within a short time.
43
The armed forces organized large-scale rescue efforts, including 8 engineering
regiments, 36 columns, 48 IAF aircrafts/helicopters and 953 sorties.
The Border Security Force (BSF), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Rapid
Action Force (RAF) participated in a big way. Over 5,000 trucks, cranes, bulldozers and
gas cutters etc., were mobilized for the rescue efforts.
In the evening of the day the earthquake hit, Engineers from the Department of
Telecommunications (DOT) with satellite phones and India Meteorological Department
(IMD) officials with seismographic equipment went to Bhuj accompanying the Additional
Central Relief Commissioner and a team of 30 doctors with medical equipment and
medicine.
The Air Force pressed into service six IL-76, 18 AN-32, four Avros, four Dorniers and 16
helicopters. They made 953 sorties, carrying relief materials, tents, equipment, food
items, rescue teams and injured persons.
44
11. Media Management
The coordination between the District Administration and media has to be maintained
both during and after a disaster. During the response phase it is especially important as
it helps to ensure that communities and people in the district are better aware about
the situation and interventions being made by the administration. The following will be
performed by the Information and Media Officer as per responsibilities described in the
IRS section:
45

46
12. Government-NGO Coordination
The role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) is crucial during all phases of
disaster management and such involvement is emphasized in the Disaster
Management Act, 2005. When it comes to disaster response, the District Disaster
Management Authority may invite NGOs to participate in the coordination and
follow-up meetings, in order to ensure that their work will be aligned with the
priority actions and that it will reach all affected people/areas. In general, the role
of NGOs and the coordination between government and NGOs is detailed below1.
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the local
administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them to
undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and skilled
personnel.
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the medical
care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or health
centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share with the
district administration/response teams information about the most vulnerable
groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by deploying
volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

4.Immediate Recovery
The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify what
is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the district. This
component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the recovery stage (see
the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending upon
the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary to
overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and activities
to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase of
immediate recovery.
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
Animal health
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief supplies
generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide temporary wages
while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their long-term recovery.
Banking operations
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
5.Long-term Recovery
Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the long-
term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some activities
to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided by schemes
under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised sector
through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and Dairying
Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy
units;schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.
- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) Plan.
6.Holistic Recovery Process
The District Disaster Management Authority of Chittoor should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to better
utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be noted that
external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or may not be
completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the Disaster
Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process and has to
ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and constant
monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do not
get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is necessary to
define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal as per the
situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should be
incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected community
in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring sustainable
development of the community and the district as a whole.

1. The Introduction:
Introduction An effective and realistic District Disaster Management Plan with full proof
communication, authentic and accurate data base, documented and rehearsed to be activated in the
shortest possible time with minimum simple orders and procedures ensuring active participation
both by Government, Community and Volunteers at all levels making optimum utilisation of men,
material and available resources with no gaps or no over laps to prevent loss to lives and minimise
loss to property ensuring fastest approach for rescue, rehabilitation and to avert further miseries of
the calamity stricken people. There is a saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The DDMP like
a true friend will obviously guide the entire machinery engaged for relief operation and input
courage among the community to face the eventuality boldly.
Prepare Respond
Rebuild Recover
India in general is one of the most hazard prone countries in the world. 60% of the country is prone
to earthquakes of moderate to high intensity, 40 million hectares is prone to floods, 5,700 km long
coast is prone to cyclones and tsunamis and the whole of Himalayas are prone to landslides. The
state of Andhra Pradesh in particular is one of the multi-hazard prone districts in India. As a result, it
was important to develop a plan that improves district’s response to disasters while improving its
ability to mitigate the disaster risks and increasing community’s resilience by implementing the
preparedness plan.
It was deemed important to put a plan in place for dealing with disasters in an organized way with all
the stakeholders well-aware of their role in responding to or preparing for disasters, as the district is
responsible for responding to disasters through its Incident Response Team in the disaster site, while
the State and the Centre is responsible for providing extended support, guidance, external resources
4
or additional help as required in case of any major disasters and upon the request of support from
the district.
The vision of District Disaster Management Plan is to enable disaster resilient development in East
Godavari district and continuity of services essential for life and dignity of citizens during disaster
and non-disaster situations.
• Identify areas in the district that are prone to natural and manmade disasters;
• Understand the existing vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms of the
community by conducting panchayat level assessment exercise;
• Identify the measures that ought to be taken by the district administration for
prevention and mitigation of disasters;
• Build awareness among different stakeholders both at the administrative as well
as the community level by directly engaging them in the process of district
disaster management planning;
• Identify various existing development schemes that could be implemented for
mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in development;
• Specify key areas for improving disaster resilience by awareness, training and
capacity-building of the stakeholders;
• Highlight preparedness measures required to be undertaken by the district
administration so as to be able to better respond to any threatening disaster
situation;
• Prepare the response plan for quick and effective response; and
• Establish the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery plan in order to restore
the vital life support systems to minimum operating standards at a first moment
and work towards rehabilitating them to at least the original standards.
1.2. Approach:
The aim of the plan is to establish necessary systems, structures, programs, resources,
capabilities and guiding principles for reducing disaster risks and preparing for and
responding to disasters and threats of disasters in respective district, in order to save lives
and property, avoid disruption of economic activity and damage to environment and to
ensure the continuity and sustainability of development.
The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach with emphasis
on prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that Disaster Management receives
the highest priority at all levels in the district. It has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of
national and state level, from reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach
5
is aimed to conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and
property. For efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the Plan has
been organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Normal Befor
Time Disaster
After During
Disaster Disaster
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation1, leading to prevention2 & risk
reduction3. Before disaster stage: Activities include preparedness to face likely disasters,
dissemination of early warnings. During disaster stage: Activities include quick response,
relief, mobilization of search &rescue, damage assessment. After disaster stage: Activities
include recovery & rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.

1.3. How to Use This Plan
7
1.4. Methodology
District disaster management planning has often been criticized for being comprised of
general guidelines rather than actionable plans. It has also been criticized to be incomplete
in its approach for either non-involvement of communities (the victims of disasters) or
completing mere formality. Therefore, with the aim to overcome this scenario, the District
Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) of East Godavari in partnership with AIDMI has
worked to make this plan more inclusive. The term inclusive points to a wider community
outreach, a greater ownership by district’s administrative officers and an institution-based
focus to address safety issues.
In view of this, the process was divided in two phases. The first phase was mainly comprised
of consultations with various stakeholders such as line departments, MP Block Development
Officers (MPDOs), members of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI), and vulnerable communities
in order to collect the necessary information and data and understand the particularities
and matters related to risk reduction in the district. It was also comprised of meetings
between AIDMI and the DDMA to discuss and improve the framework of the DDMP.
In consonance with the approach of making the plan inclusive, during the second phase two
major key government institutions were covered in depth to address safety issues. Once all
these activities had been undertaken on the field, the plan was prepared based on its
outcomes and by consulting the Disaster Management Act (DMA), 2005, the DDMP model
framework by NDMA and the directions provided by UNDP Andhra Pradesh.
8
1.5. Scope and Ownership of District Disaster Management Plan:
Any type of disaster, be it natural or manmade, leads to immense loss of life, and also
causes damage to the property and the surrounding environment, to such an extent that
the normal social and economic mechanism available to the society, gets disturbed. The
Govt. of India, recognized the need to of a proactive, comprehensive, and sustained
approach to disaster management to reduce detrimental effects of disasters on overall
socio-economic development of country, and came out with Disaster Management (DM) Act
2005, and highlighted the role and importance of District Disaster Management Plan. The
Govt. of Andhra Pradesh also believes that there is a need for a Disaster Management Plan
in every district that articulates its vision and strategy for disaster management in the state.
In this context the Department of Disaster Management Andhra Pradesh provides guidelines
to various entities involved in disaster management in the state to discharge their
responsibilities more effectively. Further, as per the DM Act, the District Disaster
Management Authority to be formed in each district and it will be the nodal agency for
preparation, functioning and review of the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP). The
scope of district disaster management plan is very wide, and it is applicable in all the stages
of disasters (before, during, after & non disaster time). The DDMPs can help officials in
taking important decisions and also provide guidance to direct subordinates in emergency.
The DDMP helps in saving the precious time, which might be lost in the consultations, and
getting approval from authorities. It will be the responsibility of the District Disaster
Management Authority members to look after the district and sub district level
institutionalization activities pertaining to the disaster management, including the periodic
review of district disaster management plan and allied functions. DDMP is an operational
module for district administration (owned by the DDMA) and it helps to effectively mitigate
the different types of disasters with locally available persons and resources. It also ensures a
checklist for all the stakeholders for an action oriented response structure and to study their
preparedness level.

The process is not necessarily successful if flaws are not found, but rather if the
appropriate measures are undertaken in face of the necessary improvements. In view of
this, the role and responsibilities of the DDMA are:
•Monitor the functioning and adequacy of the resources present in the district every six months
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the respective nodal officers
*
•Based on the analysis, the DDMA has to procure/purchase/borrow resources from the concerned
authorities and replace the dilapidated and non-functioning resources using the developmental
* funds
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the respective nodal officers
•Monitor that all the officers of the frontline departments are trained as per guidelines/requirements
*
•Monitor that all mitigation, preparedness and response measures are properly
implemented within the district
•Identify and ensure implementation of disaster risk reduction into developmental projects
and schemes. Additionally, all heads of departments at the district level must identify
* suitable and relevant schemes (centrally-sponsored or state-funded) which can be used
for and/or linked with disaster management
10
1.6.1.1. Review and update
The reasons for the review and further update of the DDMP can be categorized in two
major groups: a) domestic changes, i.e. changes within the district itself, whether related
to operational activities, geo-characteristics of the environment, physical resources or
knowledge enhancement; b) external changes, i.e. those related to changes in regulatory
requirements.

When it comes to the external changes, the plan has to be updated once every year and
preferably within the first month of the new financial year in order to incorporate:
11
Every time that the DDMP is reviewed and updated, it has to be uploaded on the website of
the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) and the updated
version should distinctly mention the major changes and newly added components so that
any block or district official, community-based organisation, NDMA, can easily study the
plan etc. Additionally, the updated DDMP has to be circulated to all stakeholder
departments, agencies and organizations.

8. Follow-up phase, which includes documentation (e.g. after action and evaluation
reports), link to way ahead.
Besides that, regular monitoring is strongly recommended in order to ensure that the
preparation is on track.
b) Mock-drill
The nodal authority for the task of implementation of the DDMP, whether during or after
disasters, is the DDMA. In this regard, mock-drill exercises are required in order to verify
the level of preparedness and improve the coordination during emergencies.
Mock-drills help in evaluating response and improving coordination within the
administration, with various departments, non-government agencies, other stakeholders
and communities. They help in identifying the extent to which the DDMP is effective and
support the revision of the same, if required. These drills enhance the ability to respond
faster, better and in an organized manner during the response and recovery phase. In
sum, mock-drills are required for the following reasons:
- Make the plan usable;
- Improve the know-how of practices to be followed while dealing with disasters;
- Get communities prepared to deal more appropriately during disasters;
- Build the confidence of communities in the administration and respondents; and
- Make the plan more practicable by upgrading it as per the identified needs and
gaps.

2. The Implementation of the District Disaster Management Plan
The Disaster Management Act, 2005, Government of India provides for an effective
institutional mechanism for drawing up and monitoring and implementation of DDMP for
prevention and mitigation of disasters and for taking up a holistic, coordinated and prompt
response to any disaster situation. Under the Act certain authority are conferred to the
state Government for making rules to carry out the provisions of the Act.
The institutional mechanism for Disaster Management at the District Level, as envisaged in
the National Plan is shown below.

2.2. Disaster Management Authorities
The Disaster Management Act, 2005, Government of India provides for an effective
institutional mechanism for drawing up and monitoring and implementation of DDMP for
prevention and mitigation of disasters and for taking up a holistic, coordinated and prompt
response to any disaster situation. Under the Act certain authority are conferred to the
state Government for making rules to carry out the provisions of the Act. In perspective to
Sub Section (1) and (2) of the Section 25 of the Disaster Management Act (53 0f 2005) the
State Government will have an established District Disaster Management Authority for the
District of East Godavari in the State of Andhra Pradesh Disaster Management Rules 2007.
As per the instruction of the Government vide G.O.Ms.No.1436, Revenue (DM III)
Department, Dt.14-11-2007, the following officers are appointed as members to the District
Disaster Management Authority.
The District Magistrate/DC will head the district administrative set up and will be the
chairperson of the DDMA as per the Act. He is designated as the Responsible Officer (RO) in
the District as per the Incident Response System.
The complete IRS organisational structure at the District level is depicted below:

heads of excluding state and district. At state level it is the principal secretary revenue
and disaster management and at district level it is the JDM will lead the IRT as an IC. In
the IRS however the Chief Secretary and DMs have been given the authority to select
anyone else also if they think it necessary.
16
2.4. District Control Rooms
The DM Act, 2005 envisages for the district control room which will be in place
undertaking pre-disaster, during and post disaster activities in the district. For
effective coordination, robust pre-designated communication system with various
line departments to be installed for reducing the potential effects of disasters in the
district.
Information

2.6 Departmental Capacity building (SWOT analysis) Findings of Line Departments
Assessment from one-to-one Consultations
This section includes an assessment of both vulnerabilities and capacities within the line
departments. As part of the process, a number of consultations were held with several line
departments on one-to-one basis. The exercise revealed the existing scenario in which these
line departments are functioning, the challenges they face and capabilities available when it
comes to disaster management and related matters.
In the following sub-sections, a matrix provides an overview of the current situation
of each line department, as it summarizes the main strengths and areas of improvement.
Right after, a table was prepared to provide an explanation of these elements, as well as of
other relevant factors. Depending on the line department, some sub-topics were also added
like suggestions for further action and information about past disasters.
2.5.1. General role and linkages of department in district disaster management plan
Sr. Department Role of Department
no
1. Agriculture Agriculture Department always sustains losses/damage when
Department floods and cyclone occur in the State. The quantum of losses is
proportional to the intensity, time and duration of the hazard. It
is difficult to prevent such losses but remedial measures can be
taken to save the crops and if this is not possible to go in for
alternative measures suitable for the area and type of soil.
2. Revenue The Revenue Department is the nodal department for coordination,
Department management of a cyclone event as it has a network of officials up to
village level, and officers of the department have magisterial powers.
The department is assisted by the concerned line
Departments/agencies to fulfill the responsibilities assigned. Pre, during
and post action plans in coordination with the line departments,
conducting relief, rescue and rehabilitation is the main activity
3. Education Schools and schoolchildren are the most affected by disasters and a
Department well thought out plan should be in place to ensure work smoothly to
reduce this vulnerability and to play an important role in the
community in responding to disasters.
4. Police The Police Department is one of the key Government
Department departments. Both in the normal times when no disasters occur
and in times of disasters, this department is the department that
first responds and assist in evacuation process and in maintaining
law and order in and around shelters.
5. Transport Districts will work out strategy and priority of departments that
Department should be provided power continuously before during and after
the event. The order of the departments is
communication/transmission stations, water works, hospitals,
relief camps, shelters, railways and important road points.
6. Fire Department The Department is capable of rendering life-saving service to the
people involved in disasters both natural and man-made.
7. Bharat Sanchar Establish radio Communications with state control room, district
19
Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) control room and departmental offices within the district. All personnel
required for Disaster Management should work under the overall
supervision and guidance of District Collector.
8. Information & Department of information & public relations is an important link
public relations between the media and people/ Government during normal
department times. During natural calamities, their role is as equally important
as with the other key departments.
9. Horticulture Planting trees is an easy and effective way to beautify our
Department property, provide shade in summer and wind protection in
winter. Tree is such a visible part of the landscape care must be
taken to ensure proper growth conditions are maintained. A tree
is far more difficult and expensive to replace, once mature in the
landscape, than most shrubs.
10. Municipal and The Housing & Urban Development Department is the nodal
urban Department for ensuring proper and planned growth of cities and
development towns with adequate infrastructure and basic amenities. The
continuous exodus of rural population to urban areas has
contributed to the exponential growth resulting in severe strain
on the existing infrastructure and subsequent demand for
additional provisions. To keep pace with the growing demands of
the urban area, the Department has been taking effective and
adequate steps for efficient management & delivery of basic
urban services like provision of Safe Drinking Water, Sanitation,
Roads, Solid Waste Management, and Housing etc.
11. Water Resource This department plays vital role in Hydrological assessment of
Department availability of water in the river basins including water allocation
to the Irrigation and other purposes duly assessing the availability
in the basin. Construction of new projects to create irrigation
potential for economic development. Improve water
management, efficiency by integrated and coordinated, and
implementation of operation and maintenance plans for existing
Irrigation projects. Flood management, Restoration, and
maintenance of flood banks.
12. Public Health Natural unforeseen calamities, i.e. disaster like drought, cyclonic
Engineering storm and flood are the common occurrences in the State every
Department year. These kinds of disaster have always-wider impact on human
life, livestock, property and assets created by individual and state.
Aftermath the disaster among the basic needs for survival, safe
drinking water and emergency sanitation always figures on top of
the priority list along with food and shelter.
As Public Health Engineering Department/Directorate is
mandated for supply of safe drinking water to the people of the
State, during disaster it requires delivery of services on safe
drinking water supply on war footing basis.
13. Women & Child Women & Child Development Department is having a well-
Development developed network for providing its services to the beneficiaries.
Department However, during natural calamity like flood, cyclone, earthquake
20
and disease epidemic the institutional network get disrupted.
Awareness and capacity building needs to be provided on
subjects related to degree and intensity of disaster (limited to low
and medium magnitude). In order to provide effective relief
services, assistance from Voluntary agencies, H&FW, Panchayat
Raj, Rural Development, Police etc. is required.
14. Building As this Department is dealing with, and responsible for
Construction construction work and its day to
Department day maintenance for road, bridge, C.D. Works along with all
(PWD) public building works under its
Department
control, all the field officials starting for Executive Engineers,
Assistant Engineer and Junior
Engineers are warned for such identification of structures
accordingly
15. Rural Water Natural disasters often put a vast majority of the population at
Supply & health risk, claim human lives, and devastate household property
Sanitation and public infrastructure. Almost all of the States of India are
Department vulnerable to at least some of the natural calamities, including
cyclone, flood, tsunami, drought, earthquake etc. Climate change
is also now exacerbating disasters, both in terms of numbers and
complexity. Almost all types of natural disasters can lead to
situations of large scale displacement of communities whose
health is at risk due to disruption of basic services like drinking
water sanitation, health care, food supply etc.
Water supply and sanitation in particular, often become the most
crucial needs of the disaster-affected population, especially
women and children. The onslaught of natural disasters may lead
to outbreak of epidemics like cholera, diarrheal diseases, dengue,
malaria, typhoid etc. It is possible to mitigate, if not prevent, the
adverse impact of disasters, by planned disaster risk reduction
interventions on water supply, sanitation and hygiene by
Government and other stakeholders.
16. Panchayat Raj In general, if the local bodies like Panchayats are not consulted
Department for preparedness planning, relief and rehabilitation work, it leads
to absence of transparency and accountability in the mitigation
efforts. The whole approach towards rehabilitation work may end
up being „top down‟ in nature. As the relief and restoration
efforts involve investment of hundreds and thousands of cores
rupees, there should be satisfaction of having utilized them
properly and efficiently. Activities like distributing immediate
relief in the form of money, food grains, medical care, cloths,
tents, vessels drinking water and other necessities, activities of
restoration, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts of damaged
villages and towns can be implemented better with the
involvement of local bodies.

3.2. Geography
East Godavari District can be broadly classified into three natural divisions namely the Delta, Upland
and Agency or hill tracts. The general elevation of the district varies from a few meters near the sea
to about 300 meters in the hills of the agency.
The Eastern Ghats rise by gradations from the level of the coast and spread throughout the erstwhile
agency Taluks of Rampachodavaram and Yellavaram. The delta portion constituting the whole of
Konaseema and portions of Kakinada, Ramachandrapuram and Rajahmundry erstwhile Taluks,

Shiva in Andhra Pradesh is rich in
legend and tradition and is held in
great regard. Kotipalli also known
as Koti Theertham is located at the
confluence of the river Godavari
with the sea. This holy river which
is very famous for its sacred water
was brought by Gowtham
Maharshi. If a person takes a bath
in these holy waters of Gowthami
at Kotipalli they will be purified
from all kinds of sins. For time
immemorial it has been believed
that a ritual bath in the river
Godavari at Kotipalli is symbolic of
a new beginning in life, a change in
direction, of forgiveness of heinous
sins committed by repentant souls
especially in the month of Kartika,
and on Maha Shivaratri.

4. Hazard Assessment based on One to One consultation with Line
department
Hazard, Vulnerability, Capacity& Risk Assessment (HVCRA) is the most important part of the plan as
the entire planning process will be based on its outcome. Any error in identifying the frequency,
magnitude and projected impact leads to incorrect identification of major hazard and hence an
imperfect plan. The necessary outcomes of the HVCR Assessment will be the type of hazards that the
district is prone to, history of hazards, impact analysis of the worst case, the area, people and
infrastructure that is prone to the risk of these hazards and their vulnerability of being damaged by
such disasters due to their susceptibility characteristics. Vulnerability Assessment should deal with
the natural, socio-economic vulnerability, housing vulnerability and the environmental vulnerability.
The vulnerability atlas of BMTPC can also be referred for this purpose. After knowing the existing
hazards and potential vulnerabilities, the risk analysis will be carried out. HVCR analysis will also
include resource inventory/capacity analysis, preparedness analysis in terms of network of
communication systems, public distribution systems, storage facilities, transportation facilities,
medical facilities, fire stations, cyclone shelters with their capacity, presence of NGOs and other
volunteers etc so as to enable quick response.

District Disaster Management Plan of East Godavari District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 2
1 Preparedness Plan
Preparedness has been defined as the knowledge and capacities developed by governments, response
and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to and
recover from the impacts of likely, imminent or current disasters. A preparedness plan establishes
arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective and appropriate responses to specific potential
hazardous events or emerging disaster situations that might threaten society or the environment1.
Therefore, this Preparedness Plan includes checklist for all concerned stakeholders of the district to
prepare themselves for effective and efficient disaster response. It helps in preparing district
administration, departments and other stakeholders for better coordinated response with available
resources. Identification of vulnerable areas, emergency shelter sites, evacuation routes, emergency
resources, chains of commands, etc, becomes an important part of preparedness. All of these measures
will go a long way to improving the quality, timing and effectiveness of the response to a disaster.
1.1. General Preparedness Measures based on SWOT Analysis of Line Departments
Establishment and functioning of the Control Rooms: DCCC (District Command and
Communication Centre) is a central command and control facility responsible for
carrying out the principles of disaster preparedness and disaster management functions
at a strategic level in an emergency. The common functions of the DCCC is to collect,
gather and analyze data; make decisions that protect life and property and disseminate
those decisions to all concerned agencies and individuals. In this regard, East Godavari
District Command and Communication Centre will be strengthened with necessary
equipment and dedicated manpower to deal with disaster risk management related
communication functions. Respective department having access to alternative
communication systems and network including Revenue and Police shall keep their
equipment functional and shall send quarterly status report to the DDMA. Other
departments shall also make provisions to establish control rooms in case of seasonal
hazards where period is defined like floods, heatwaves, cyclone etc particularly Health,
Agriculture and Horticulture, Fisheries, Electricity, Irrigation, Roads and Building
departments which are critical to reducing loss and damage associated with disasters
and climate change.
Plan Updation: Updation of DDMP is a crucial preparedness activity along with
departmental plans of respective departments. The plan should be updated atleast once
in a year with a focus on checking manpower (transfers and retirements), possible and
emerging scenarios (hazards and vulnerability), progress, outcome and challenges etc.
This should also include checking specific preparedness elements such emergency
stockpiling of essential supplies, emergency communication network and facilities,
managing routine overloads and special activities like elections, vip visits etc. The
following process should be followed for updation of the DDMP

as per the above the process.
Communication System: Provision of wireless sets at all Department Heads and Tehsildars
for effective communication of cyclone/heavy rainfall/ heat waves. Fire Brigades at all the
Municipal Offices. All departments shall initiate planning for alternative communication
systems for disasters and climatic extreme events
Training for Disaster Management Team Members: Disaster management teams should be
formed at three levels such as District, Mandala and Village level. Each of the DMTs shall
comprise groups of women and men volunteers and are assigned with a specials task The
Search and Rescue Teams, First Aid Teams formed at the three levels should be provided
training from time to time so that their timely help can be used during disaster.
District Disaster Management Plan of East Godavari District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 4
Organization of Mock Drills: Mock drill is an integral part of this disaster management plan,
as it is a preparedness drill to check the system for emergency response, identify areas of
improvement and initiate actions to enhance preparedness thereof. Mock drills should be
organized in all the vulnerable villages of the district to activate the DMTs and modification
of the DM plan. Mock drill is organized once in six months as per the seasonality calendar of
natural disaster events that is likely to occur.

Drought
District Disaster Management Plan of East Godavari District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 32
1.4.3. Hazard- Drought
Indian Meteorological Department has defined drought as ‘the consequence of a natural reduction in the
amount of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more in length, often
associated with other climatic factors (viz. high temperatures, high winds and low relative humidity) that
can aggravate the severity of the drought event.’2
The above image shows blocks with Drought Index within East Godavari district. The majority of
blocks in district fall in Mild Drought Zones and a few blocks in Moderate Drought Zones.
Drought is another important hazard for the district with mild to moderate risk. Due to drought
habitations in the district suffered from drinking water scarcity due to drying up of spot sources as well
as insufficient water storage in drinking water storage tanks fed either by rain water or by canal system.
Owing to drought conditions, fodder production was depleted resulting in fodder scarcity. Such
condition led to increase in the demand for the supply of fodder with accompanied hike in prices. Added

Heatwave
District Disaster Management Plan of East Godavari District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 40
1.4.4. Hazard- Heat Wave
Heat-wave is a condition of atmospheric temperature that leads to physiological stress, which
sometimes can claim human life. Heat-wave is defined as the condition where maximum temperature at
a grid point is 3˚C or more than the normal temperature, consecutively for 3 days or more. World
Meteorological Organization defines a heat wave as five or more consecutive days during which the daily
maximum temperature exceeds the average maximum temperature by five degrees Celsius. If the
maximum temperature of any place continues to be more than 45° C consecutively for two days, it is
called a heat wave condition (NDMA, 2016)3
East Godavari district is witnessing more frequent and devastating heat wave conditions over the past
years as explained in the section of HVCA. Major portion of the district has been found witnessing and
exposed to extreme heat wave conditions. This has resulted in to serious concerns and has become a
major hazard for the district and the state as a whole. These are having negative impacts on personal
health by contributing to heat illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and death.
Extreme heat events are consistently related to mortality; cardiovascular, respiratory and other
underlying diseases. The true rate of mortality associated with heat waves is often greater than initially
attributed, as heat related deaths are not always recorded as such (for example, some are attributed to
heart attack, cardiovascular or respiratory disease4. Vegetable vendors, auto repair mechanics, cab
drivers, construction workers, police personnel, road side kiosk operators and mostly weaker sections of
the society have to work in the extreme heat to make their ends meet and are extremely vulnerable to
the adverse impacts of heat waves such as dehydration, heat and sun stroke.
The above image shows the blocks in East Godavari district with heat wave zones.

1.4.5. Hazard- Earthquake
East Godavari is in comparatively little safer zone as per the seismic map of India, the experience of
earthquake. An Earthquake of magnitude of 5 or more is likely to cause deaths and injuries to human
beings and damages total kinds of property both private and public. Unfortunately there is very little
warning available preceding the earthquake. Therefore planning should cater for a quick response at all
levels to reduce the effects of the earthquake to the minimum. The occurrence of an earthquake may be
reported by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)/the National Geophysical Research Institute
(NGRI) APSRAC to the commissioner for Relief by the fastest means. The district Level be activated
immediately on the occurrence of any major earthquake (Major earthquake being defined as one where
there is damage to property and/or loss of life).
The above image shows East Godavari district and blocks in earthquake seismic zones. The
district falls in two seismic zones - Zone II and Zone III.

2 Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of East Godavari
Disaster risk reduction is aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing
residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to the achievement of
sustainable development. Disaster risk reduction strategies and policies define goals and objectives
across different timescales and with concrete targets, indicators and time frames. In line with the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, these should be aimed at preventing the creation of
disaster risk, the reduction of existing risk and the strengthening of economic, social, health and
environmental resilience.

2.2. Capacity Building
Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self or other than the
self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self, whereas, the skill to operate a fire
extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire extinguisher.
Capability Building: At the Community Level:
Capability building at the community level has to be largely self-orientated like swimming, firmly
thatching of roofs, taking out an injured lying under debris and carrying safely for medical aid, rescuing a
person while drowning etc.
Capability Building: At the Ground Level Institutions:
Capability building at the ground level institutions one has to build around self as well as simple
technologies based equipments: For example, plying of motorized boats, debris removal, fire
extinguishers, first aid, snake/dog bite treatment, driving two wheelers, four wheelers setting up of
tents, operating communication equipments, repair and maintenance of the same. The institutions that
have to deal directly with the first respondent, that is communities, are.
Police Mitras
Village and Mandal level officials
PACs
Local CBO, & NGOs
Urban Local Bodies
For this category of institutions, the capacity development programme and activities have to deal with:
Comprehensive understanding of hazard wise disaster caused
Hazard wise impact of disaster on people, livestock, property structures, agriculture,
infrastructure etc.
Segment of impact wise operation to provide help and support with rescue, relief and shelter.
Keeping people alert and prepared on a periodic basis for the eventualities, that is, organizing
drills and rehearsals.
The programme and activities have to be in training and skill development mode coupled with practical
and demonstrative exercises supported by IEC materials.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation and disaster
preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the institutions as well as
at the community level.
Institutional Capacity Building
The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district level Disaster
Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan implementation strategy and its
upward linkages to the State and downward linkages to the communities. From the district side, the
officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its functioning, its
roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster Management Plan, the involvement of
local bodies in the plan preparation and implementation in coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and panchayat levels,
the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities at Lo, L1, L2 period in coordination
with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and manpower. All these
orientations through well-structured programmes are specifically required because of the whole
exercise of disaster management still being relief centre with states and villages.
District Disaster Management Plan of East Godavari District, Volume II | Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of East 56
Godavari
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase understanding of
issues and in the light of the increased understanding and appreciation, to act in a desired manner in a
given situation. The response is not wooden but enlivened by the use of intelligence if the situation
happens to be at variance. It is a modulation which will be required, in the context of disaster
management, by the district level institutions, and government departments, the district level agencies,
stakeholders other than the state and its agencies, and the people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward, are the
communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level functionaries, the District
administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are the constitutional bodies and have well
defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such, disaster preparedness
of a state is required to be measured in terms of community preparedness. But, before preparing
people, the state itself, its machinery, its concerned institution, it functionaries at all level shall have to
be prepared. That is, before the disaster preparedness is initiated at the community level, the Gram
Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional, the District Disaster Management Authority, the
District Command and Communication Centre, the District Disaster Management Plan shall be ready;
the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority, the State Disaster Response Force, the
National Institute of Disaster Management (Southern Centre) and State level Emergency Operation
Centre all shall be ready to get engaged to support community empowerment. Some common areas for
building knowledge and capacity are highlighted in the following table on which actions need to be
taken
Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building steps
needs to be conducted;
1. District & State Orientation course for first Home Guards, Civil Defence volunteers,

3. Climate Change Actions:
Climate change is one of the most important global environmental challenges facing humanity with
implications for food production, natural ecosystems, freshwater supply, health, etc. While a changing
climate poses a challenge to humanity as a whole, the available evidence suggests that the developing
countries particularly are more vulnerable. Climate change will seriously hit the agriculture sector in
Andhra Pradesh (AP), affecting the incomes of farmers by as much as 20 per cent. According to the
latest World Bank report on “The impact of climate change on India”, dry land farmer’s incomes in AP
plunge by 20 per cent. Under a modest to harsh climate change scenario of a substantial rise in
temperatures (2.30 C to 3.40 C) and a modest but erratic increase in rainfall (4% to 8%), small farmer
incomes could decline by as much as 20%.
Although an increase in natural disasters like cyclones is considered to be a strong indicator of climate
change, there is less evidence that this is happening in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The
incidence of cyclones may have remained largely the same as ever, what may have increased is their
intensity and their area of distribution. The last two cyclones to have hit the Andhra Pradesh coast –
Cyclone Laila and Cyclone Nilam – have left significant damages in their wake, affecting agriculture and
fisheries very badly. Another critical change with respect to the cyclones has been that they too have
ceased to be seasonal: until mid-1990s, specific months – May & November – were considered as the
‘cyclone months’ and the administration could be prepared to deal with them in those months.
However, over the last 18 years, the seasonal nature of the cyclonic activity has proved to be no longer
valid and cyclones have become more erratic. The other natural disaster that can be linked to climate
change, and that by 1980s had been considered to have been largely controlled in Andhra Pradesh, is
the incidence of flash floods. The sudden and intensive downpours in the upland areas lead to sudden
and excessive flooding that the existing flood banks and other preventive infrastructure are unable to
cope with. The obstructive constructions built over former water drainage channels in the plains
contribute to aggravate the impacts of the floods. Unlike in the case of cyclones, there are no advance
warning systems to warn people of the imminent flooding of their areas, which contribute to further
increasing the extent of damages.
This section of the DDMP builds on these projected and possible impacts of climate change to evolve
necessary adaptation measures for sustainability in the long run as follow:
3.1. Common actions to be taken to Mitigate Climate Change
Actions related to climate change adaptation Actions related to climate change mitigation

1.Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster
Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put
in place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory
update for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

1.4. Level 3
L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of
a wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early
warning or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan
means setting in motion command, coordination, and management of the
situation. The activities described in the following standard operating procedures
(SOPs) are to be initiated immediately to ensure that loss and damage are
minimized. One SOP is in the case where early warning is available, the other
when there is no early warning, thus the activation of the response depends on the
type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood and
cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency Operation
Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
10
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that warning
information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and resources
to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing the
disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as telephone,
mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State Disaster
Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is submitted
to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well
as for supply of food, drinking water, and other materials.
10) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels.

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based
on the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the
information dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC), East
Godavari and the Joint District Collector, East Godavari communicate the MPDO
and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the early warning information is
disseminated to the communities through the Village Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural
14
areas and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early
warning communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses
without any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District
Collector from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers
identified for information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk
Voice SMS service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the
disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in
their panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
15
First assessment report need to be collected in a specified format (as in Appendix
J) to understand the scale and intensity of impact directly on the population. The
aspects assessed are limited and majorly looks to assess the socio-economic
impact of the disaster. The FAR for the areas belonging to respective Lot Mandal’s
will be collected and submitted to Tehsildars. Tehsildars will in-turn compile the
information and submit it to the District Collector and DDMA.
District Crisis Management Group (CMG) meeting is the first meeting chaired by
the Responsible Officer (District Collector) of the Incident Response Team which
involves participation of all key members of IRT that is inclusive of ESF Primary
Stakeholders (as per the type of disaster discussed below), MPDO and Tehsildars.
This meeting may be held at the backdrop of FAR (as in 8.2) outputs and decisions
taken based on this. The RO shall appoint the personnel such as Incident
Commander and other functionaries that will be part of Incident Response Team.
The DC at this point shall order conducting of ‘Rapid Damage & Needs assessment’
by the team that forms part of this ESF.
3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at
low cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as
the DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the
previous set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing
an important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
16
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.

4.District Emergency Operation Centre
The role of the District Emergency Operation Centre during an emergency/disaster
response can be summarized in the activities detailed in the table below.

these reports, the DEOC will forward the Preparedness Measures details
on behalf of the Collector to the State Control Room, Relief
Commissioner
Upgrade and update District Control Room system according to
changing scenarios in the district update data bank and maintain an
inventory of resources.
Update all information on the SDRN / IDRN Inform State Control Room,

and material management in emergencies with proper inventorization.
Emergency communication
In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that East
Godavari does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore,
one of the measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management
Authority towards disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round
operational Disaster Emergency Operation Centre.

5.First Information Report
The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss
as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a
quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the
occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific
format in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on
the population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC).
The FIR can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then
forwarded to the DC.
22
6.District Crisis Management Group
Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,
chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the
backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary
findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries
associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At
this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).
The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited
needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair
items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important
to bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and
sometimes the security environment.

7.Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment is critical for decision makers in order
for them to plan the emergency response in the most appropriate and effective
manner. It includes mobilizing resources and deploying responders in areas that
need urgent actions as needed to minimize/avoid loss of lives. The format of this
assessment is found in detail below.

9.Incident Response System
The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the
phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up
approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers
prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required
resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary
agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback
to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.
The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district
administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of
this, the IRS for East Godavari was agreed during the consultations performed on
field and officials were appointed for each position.
In order to easily understand the IRS of East Godavari, following is the model IRS
structure as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management
Authority. In sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander,
Information & Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff
encompasses three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which
being comprised of various groups and units.
35
9.1. East Godavari Incident Response System
The IRS of East Godavari is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective
officials in the district holding each of them.
36
9.2. Command staff – major responsibilities
The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of
the incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as
follow:
The Incident Commander is the individual responsible for the management of all
incident operations of the incident site.
- Determine incident objectives and strategies based on the available
information and resources;
- Establish immediate priorities, including search and rescue, and relief
distribution strategies;
- Assess requirements for maintenance of law and order, traffic etc. if any at the
incident site, and make arrangements with help of the local police;
- Brief higher authorities about the situation and request for additional
resources, if required;
- Establish appropriate IRS organisation with Sections, Branches, Divisions and/or
Units based on the span of control and scale of the incident;
- Establish Incident Command Post at a suitable place. In case of total
destruction of buildings, tents or temporary shelters may be used as Incident
Command Post or even a mobile van with complete communication equipment.
If appropriate or enough space is not available, other Sections can function
from a different convenient location, as long as there is a proper, fail-safe
contact with the ICP in order to provide quick assistance;
- Approve and authorise the implementation of an Incident Action Plan and
ensure that it is regularly developed and updated as per debriefing of IRS
members. It will be reviewed every 24 hours and circulated to all concerned;
- Ensure that all Sections or Units are working as per Incident Action Plan and
that team members are briefed on performance of various activities;
- Ensure that planning meetings are held at regular intervals. The meetings will
draw out an implementation strategy for effective incident response. The
decision to hold this meeting is solely the responsibility of the IC. Apart from
other members, ensure that PSC attend all briefing and debriefing meetings;
- Ensure that adequate safety measures for responders and affected communities
are in place;
- Ensure proper coordination between all Sections of the IRS, agencies working in
the response activities and make sure that all conflicts are resolved;
- Approve and ensure that the required additional resources are procured and
issued to the concerned Sections, Branches and Units etc. and are properly
utilised.
- If required, establish contact with PRIs, urban local bodies, community-based
organizations, NGOs etc. and seek their cooperation in achieving the objectives
37
of Incident Action Plan and enlist their support to act as local guides in assisting
the external rescue and relief teams;
The Information and Media Officer is responsible for developing and releasing
information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and
to other appropriate agencies and organizations.
- prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others with the approval of the Incident Commander;
- monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;
- coordinate with India Meteorological Department (IMD) to collect weather
information and disseminate it to all concerned;
- maintain record of various activities performed;
- ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
- Organise Incident Action Plan meetings as directed by the Incident Commander
or when required.
Reasons for the Incident Commander to designate an Information and Media
Officer:
- reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information;
- need to alert, warn or instruct the public;
- ensure that Incident Commander effectiveness is not obstructed by media
demands.
The Liaison Officer is the point of contact to assist the first responders,
cooperating agencies and line departments. It may be designated depending on
the number of agencies involved and the spread of affected area.
- maintain a list of concerned line departments, agencies, community-based and
non-governmental organizations and their representatives at various locations;
- carry out liaison with all concerned agencies including National Disaster
Response Force and Armed Forces and line departments;
- monitor operations to identify current or potential inter-agency problems;
- participate in planning meetings and provide information on response by
participating agencies;
- keep the Incident Commander informed about arrivals of all the government
and non-government agencies and their resources;
- help in organising briefing sessions of all governmental and non-governmental
agencies with the Incident Commander.
Reasons to establish the Liaison Officer position at an incident:
38
- several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident in
support of their resources;
- the Incident Commander can no longer provide the time for individual
coordination with each agency representative;
- two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident
requires on-site liaison.

10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination
Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food,
medical services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore,
government should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the
response. For instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was
decided that the police would take up the task of rescue operations and the
revenue and panchayat administration would concentrate on providing medical
assistance and relief. In this sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in
advance is of fundamental importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by
involving officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like
Labour Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self
Government and PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire
Services and Civil Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, as it is the nucleus
of all disaster management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA
and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists
keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the
SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State
needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,
SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the
various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be
constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more
professional human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation
Fund in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
At National Level:
42
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national
level should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis
Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that
the National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of
Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management
Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as
the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help
in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF
should be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that
the NEC meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all
programs related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster
Management Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In
accordance with section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek
advice from the Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster
management and having practical experience of disaster management at the
national, state or district level on various aspects of disaster management. In
addition, subject specific Sub-Committees may be constituted to look into the
different aspects of disaster management in respect of the specific disasters,
helping preparation of action plan and monitoring of gaps in implementation.
Control Room
Control rooms should start functioning in different places according to pre-
established infrastructure in the district and to the severity of the disaster. These
places may involve the fire brigade, the municipal corporation, police station, or
other places.
Satellite telephone should be operative and in place in the district and state
control rooms, and backed by the police wireless as well.
A wireless set should be installed in the district Collector’s office to communicate
43
with the police control room.
If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the
control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a
temporary control room set up in the open.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as
bulldozers, cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery),
trucks, and Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources
that are available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting
the necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves
affected and if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex
problem of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of
heavy equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
Rescue Teams
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room,
desperately asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able
to respond providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource
to meet the needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
44
Medical Services
A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the
disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get
overwhelmed.
Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief
activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief
District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.
The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and
according to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat,
2001, the decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the
hospital. Four days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the
hospital was made functional with all the necessary equipment.
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.
Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to
sleep outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of
tents and other temporary sheds within a short time.
45
220 engineers and skilled staff in the affected areas for restoration of the power
supply. By 5 February 2001, i.e., 10 days after the earthquake, 80 per cent of the
services were restored.
The water supply may also be restored in case it gets damaged. Measure to supply
water such as through tankers and repair of pipelines should be undertaken
immediately.
46
11. Media Management
The coordination between the District Administration and media has to be
maintained both during and after a disaster. During the response phase it is
especially important as it helps to ensure that communities and people in the
district are better aware about the situation and interventions being made by the
administration. The following will be performed by the Information and Media
Officer as per responsibilities described in the IRS section:

12. Government-NGO Coordination
The role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) is crucial during all phases of
disaster management and such involvement is emphasized in the Disaster
Management Act, 2005. When it comes to disaster response, the District Disaster
Management Authority may invite NGOs to participate in the coordination and
follow-up meetings, in order to ensure that their work will be aligned with the
priority actions and that it will reach all affected people/areas. In general, the
role of NGOs and the coordination between government and NGOs is detailed
below1.
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the
local administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them
to undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and
skilled personnel.
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the
medical care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or
health centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share
with the district administration/response teams information about the most
vulnerable groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by
deploying volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

61
4.Immediate Recovery
The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify
what is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the
district. This component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the
recovery stage (see the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending
upon the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary
to overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and
activities to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase
of immediate recovery.
62
emergency centres functioning during a disaster and despite the damages inflicted by
it. Hospitals, schools, Anganwadi centres, offices of line departments and district
administration are examples of critical lifeline buildings and that should be retrofitted
or reconstructed after throughout assessment.
Roads and bridges
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
63
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
Animal health
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
64
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief
supplies generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide
temporary wages while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their
long-term recovery.
Banking operations
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
65
5.Long-term Recovery
Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the
long-term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
66
During this phase, families placed in temporary shelters due to damage or
destruction of their houses or erosion of their land has to be smoothly
rehabilitated through requisite infrastructure recovery interventions. Efforts shall
be made to rehabilitate these families to locations at least close to the original
habitations to keep them in proximity of pre-disaster communities and land.
Education
Schools have to be made operational in the shortest span through the post-disaster
period.
Wage employment
The focus on providing wage employment through MGNREGS should be continued
with greater vigour for the affected parts of the district so as to provide economic
recovery while original livelihoods such as agriculture outputs are restored to
normalcy.
Livelihoods
Work towards strengthening livelihoods to be more economically and
environmentally sustainable, as well as more resilient to future disasters. In this
long-term recovery effort, focus is on livelihoods diversification, creation of
alternative income generating activities, providing financial services such as loans
and insurance, and strengthening forward linkages with markets for existing and
new livelihoods.
Credit
This shall be done by formation of self-help groups (SHGs) for affected
communities so as to support in buying or rebuilding assets such as domestic
animals, farm equipments, craft equipments and others by providing microcredit.
This is critical to reduce the dependency of the population in the district
administration for support.
Micro insurance
Increase of the coverage of micro insurance in order to include more farmers and
livestock owners and their productive lands/livestock to ensure risk transfer
benefits in case of damages from any future disasters.
Disaster resilient livelihoods
Agriculture is the mainstay of the district while it is one of those vulnerable to
natural hazards. Alternative livelihoods such as crafts, sericulture and plantation
of Khus (Vetiver) for its oil production with a processing industry may be sought by
the district.
Agronomic rehabilitation
The district administration has to ensure that soil testing labs research and
67
formulate necessary steps required for agronomic rehabilitation and may
coordinate with NGOs working in this field to channelize their support.
Additionally, it is paramount to suggest cropping patterns, suitable compositions of
fertilizers, pesticide, etc, depending upon the changes in soil due to the disaster
and develop a model of rehabilitation of the same.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some
activities to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided
by schemes under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised
sector through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy

6.Holistic Recovery Process
The District Disaster Management Authority of East Godavari should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to
better utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be
noted that external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or
may not be completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the
Disaster Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process
and has to ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and
constant monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do
not get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is
necessary to define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal
as per the situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should
be incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected
community in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring
sustainable development of the community and the district as a whole.

Cyclic Graph
India in general is one of the most hazard prone countries in the world. 60% of the country is prone
to earthquakes of moderate to high intensity, 40 million hectares is prone to floods, 5,700 km long
coast is prone to cyclones and tsunamis and the whole of Himalayas are prone to landslides. The
state of Andra Pradesh in particular is one of the multi-hazard prone districts in India. As a result, it
was important to develop a plan that improves district’s response to disasters while improving its
ability to mitigate the disaster risks and increasing community’s resilience by implementing the
preparedness plan.
It was deemed important to put a plan in place for dealing with disasters in an organized way with all
the stakeholders well-aware of their role in responding and preparing for disasters, as the district is
responsible for responding to disasters through its Incident Response Team in the disaster site, while
the State and the Centre is responsible for providing extended support, guidance, external resources
or additional help as required in case of any major disasters and upon the request of support from
the district.
The vision of District Disaster Management Plan is to enable disaster resilient development in
Kadapa district and continuity of services essential for life and dignity of citizens during disaster and
non-disaster situations.
• Identify areas in the district that are prone to natural and manmade disasters;
• Understand the existing vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms of the
community by conducting panchayat level assessment exercise;
• Identify the measures that ought to be taken by the district administration for
prevention and mitigation of disasters;
• Build awareness among different stakeholders both at the administrative as well
as the community level by directly engaging them in the process of district
disaster management planning;
• Identify various existing development schemes that could be implemented for
mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in development;
• Specify key areas for improving disaster resilience by awareness, training and
capacity-building of the stakeholders;
• Highlight preparedness measures required to be undertaken by the district
administration so as to be able to better respond to any threatening disaster
situation;
• Prepare the response plan for quick and effective response; and
• Establish the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery plan in order to restore
the vital life support systems to minimum operating standards at a first moment
and work towards rehabilitating them to at least the original standards.
1.2. Approach:
The aim of the plan is to establish necessary systems, structures, programs, resources,
capabilities and guiding principles for reducing disaster risks and preparing for and
responding to disasters and threats of disasters in respective district, in order to save lives
and property, avoid disruption of economic activity and damage to environment and to
ensure the continuity and sustainability of development.
The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach with emphasis
on prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that Disaster Management receives
the highest priority at all levels in the district. It has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of
national and state level, from reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach
is aimed to conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and
property. For efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the Plan has
been organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Normal Befor
Time Disaster
After During
Disaster Disaster
Disaster Cycle
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation1, leading to prevention2 & risk
reduction3. Before disaster stage: Activities include preparedness to face likely disasters,
dissemination of early warnings. During disaster stage: Activities include quick response,
relief, mobilization of search &rescue, damage assessment. After disaster stage: Activities
include recovery & rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.
1.3. Methodology
District disaster management planning has often been criticized for being comprised of
general guidelines rather than actionable plans. It has also been criticized to be incomplete
in its approach for either non-involvement of communities (the victims of disasters) or
completing mere formality. Therefore, with the aim to overcome this scenario, the District
Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) of Kadapa in partnership with AIDMI has worked to
make this plan more inclusive. The term inclusive points to a wider community outreach, a
greater ownership by district’s administrative officers and an institution-based focus to
address safety issues.
In view of this, the process was divided in two phases. The first phase was mainly comprised
of consultations with various stakeholders such as line departments, MP Block Development
Officers (MPDOs), members of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI), and vulnerable communities
1
The lessening or minimizing of the adverse impacts of a hazardous event - UNISDR
2
Activities and measures to avoid existing and new disaster risks - UNISDR
3
aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, all of which
contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to the achievement of sustainable development -
UNISDR
in order to collect the necessary information and data and understand the particularities
and matters related to risk reduction in the district. It was also comprised of meetings
between AIDMI and the DDMA to discuss and improve the framework of the DDMP.
In consonance with the approach of making the plan inclusive, during the second phase two
major key government institutions were covered in depth to address safety issues. Once all
these activities had been undertaken on the field, the plan was prepared based on its
outcomes and by consulting the Disaster Management Act (DMA), 2005, the DDMP model
framework by NDMA and the directions provided by UNDP Andra Pradesh.

The process is not necessarily successful if flaws are not found, but rather if the appropriate
measures are undertaken in face of the necessary improvements. In view of this, the role
and responsibilities of the DDMA are:
•Monitor the functioning and adequacy of the resources present in the district every six months
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the respective nodal officers
*
•Based on the analysis, the DDMA has to procure/purchase/borrow resources from the concerned
authorities and replace the dilapidated and non-functioning resources using the developmental
* funds
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the respective nodal officers
•Monitor that all the officers of the frontline departments are trained as per
* guidelines/requirements
•Monitor that all mitigation, preparedness and response measures are properly
implemented within the district
•Identify and ensure implementation of disaster risk reduction into developmental
projects and schemes. Additionally, all heads of departments at the district level must
* identify suitable and relevant schemes (centrally-sponsored or state-funded) which can
be used for and/or linked with disaster management
11
1.6.1.1. Review and update
The reasons for the review and further update of the DDMP can be categorized in two major
groups: a) domestic changes, i.e. changes within the district itself, whether related to
operational activities, geo-characteristics of the environment, physical resources or
knowledge enhancement; b) external changes, i.e. those related to changes in regulatory
requirements.

When it comes to the external changes, the plan has to be updated once every year and
preferably within the first month of the new financial year in order to incorporate:
Every time that the DDMP is reviewed and updated, it has to be uploaded on the website of the
Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) and the updated version
should distinctly mention the major changes and newly added components so that any block or
12
district official, community-based organisation, NDMA, can easily study the plan etc.
Additionally, the updated DDMP has to be circulated to all stakeholder departments, agencies
and organizations.
b) Mock-drill
The nodal authority for the task of implementation of the DDMP, whether during or after
disasters, is the DDMA. In this regard, mock-drill exercises are required in order to verify the
level of preparedness and improve the coordination during emergencies.
4
NDMA, Training Manual - How to conduct Emergency Management Exercise (EMEx), September 2015
13
Mock-drills help in evaluating response and improving coordination within the
administration, with various departments, non-government agencies, other stakeholders and
communities. They help in identifying the extent to which the DDMP is effective and support
the revision of the same, if required. These drills enhance the ability to respond faster, better
and in an organized manner during the response and recovery phase. In sum, mock-drills are
required for the following reasons:
- Make the plan usable;
- Improve the know-how of practices to be followed while dealing with disasters;
- Get communities prepared to deal more appropriately during disasters;
- Build the confidence of communities in the administration and respondents; and
- Make the plan more practicable by upgrading it as per the identified needs and gaps.
After every exercise of mock-drill, an evaluation report has to be elaborated. It should include
findings, recommendations, and a rank the identified findings according to the categories
described below. The format for the evaluation report is given right after.
- Observation: finding has little direct impact on emergency response or restoration, but
should be considered for improving the emergency response;
- Gap: finding has some measurable impact on timeliness of restoration or effectiveness
of emergency response;
- Significant Gap: finding has significant impact on timeliness of restoration or
effectiveness of emergency response with significant potential to impact public safety.

2.5. Departmental Capacity building (SWOT analysis) Findings of Line Departments
Assessment from one-to-one Consultations
This section includes an assessment of both vulnerabilities and capacities within the line
departments. As part of the process, a number of consultations were held with several line
departments on one-to-one basis. The exercise revealed the existing scenario in which these
line departments are functioning, the challenges they face and capabilities available when it
comes to disaster management and related matters.
In the following sub-sections, a matrix provides an overview of the current situation of
each line department, as it summarizes the main strengths and areas of improvement. Right
after, a table was prepared to provide an explanation of these elements, as well as of other
relevant factors. Depending on the line department, some sub-topics were also added like
suggestions for further action and information about past disasters.
2.5.1. General role and linkages of department in district disaster management plan
Sr. no Department Role of Department
1. Agriculture Agriculture Department always sustains losses/damage when floods
Department and cyclone occur in the State. The quantum of losses is
proportional to the intensity, time and duration of the hazard. It is
difficult to prevent such losses but remedial measures can be taken
to save the crops and if this is not possible to go in for alternative
measures suitable for the area and type of soil.
2. Revenue The Revenue Department is the nodal department for coordination,
Department management of a cyclone event as it has a network of officials up to village
level, and officers of the department have magisterial powers.
The department is assisted by the concerned line Departments/agencies
to fulfill the responsibilities assigned. Pre, during and post action plans in
coordination with the line departments, conducting relief, rescue and
rehabilitation is the main activity
3. Education Schools and schoolchildren are the most affected by disasters and a well
Department thought out plan should be in place to ensure work smoothly to reduce
this vulnerability and to play an important role in the community in
responding to disasters.
4. Police The Police Department is one of the key Government departments.
Department Both in the normal times when no disasters occur and in times of
disasters, this department is the department that first responds and
assist in evacuation process and in maintaining law and order in and
around shelters.
5. Transport Districts will work out strategy and priority of departments that
Department should be provided power continuously before during and after the
event. The order of the departments is communication/transmission
stations, water works, hospitals, relief camps, shelters, railways and
important road points.
6. Fire Department The Department is capable of rendering life-saving service to the
people involved in disasters both natural and man-made.
7. Bharat Sanchar Establish radio Communications with state control room, district control
Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) room and departmental offices within the district. All personnel required
for Disaster Management should work under the overall supervision and
guidance of District Collector.
8. Information & Department of information & public relations is an important link
19
public relationsbetween the media and people/ Government during normal times.
department During natural calamities, their role is as equally important as with
the other key departments.
9. Horticulture Planting trees is an easy and effective way to beautify our property,
Department provide shade in summer and wind protection in winter. Tree is
such a visible part of the landscape care must be taken to ensure
proper growth conditions are maintained. A tree is far more
difficult and expensive to replace, once mature in the landscape,
than most shrubs.
10. Municipal and The Housing & Urban Development Department is the nodal
urban development Department for ensuring proper and planned growth of cities and
towns with adequate infrastructure and basic amenities. The
continuous exodus of rural population to urban areas has
contributed to the exponential growth resulting in severe strain on
the existing infrastructure and subsequent demand for additional
provisions. To keep pace with the growing demands of the urban
area, the Department has been taking effective and adequate steps
for efficient management & delivery of basic urban services like
provision of Safe Drinking Water, Sanitation, Roads, Solid Waste
Management, and Housing etc.
11. Water Resource This department plays vital role in Hydrological assessment of
Department availability of water in the river basins including water allocation to
the Irrigation and other purposes duly assessing the availability in
the basin. Construction of new projects to create irrigation potential
for economic development. Improve water management, efficiency
by integrated and coordinated, and implementation of operation
and maintenance plans for existing Irrigation projects. Flood
management, Restoration, and maintenance of flood banks.
12. Public Health Natural unforeseen calamities, i.e. disaster like drought, cyclonic
Engineering storm and flood are the common occurrences in the State every
Department year. These kinds of disaster have always-wider impact on human
life, livestock, property and assets created by individual and state.
Aftermath the disaster among the basic needs for survival, safe
drinking water and emergency sanitation always figures on top of
the priority list along with food and shelter.
As Public Health Engineering Department/Directorate is mandated
for supply of safe drinking water to the people of the State, during
disaster it requires delivery of services on safe drinking water supply
on war footing basis.
13. Women & Child Women & Child Development Department is having a well-
Development developed network for providing its services to the beneficiaries.
Department However, during natural calamity like flood, cyclone, earthquake
and disease epidemic the institutional network get disrupted.
Awareness and capacity building needs to be provided on subjects
related to degree and intensity of disaster (limited to low and
medium magnitude). In order to provide effective relief services,
assistance from Voluntary agencies, H&FW, Panchayat Raj, Rural
Development, Police etc. is required.
14. Building As this Department is dealing with, and responsible for construction
Construction work and its day to
20
Department (PWD) day maintenance for road, bridge, C.D. Works along with all public
Department building works under its
control, all the field officials starting for Executive Engineers,
Assistant Engineer and Junior
Engineers are warned for such identification of structures
accordingly
15. Rural Water Supply Natural disasters often put a vast majority of the population at
& Sanitation health risk, claim human lives, and devastate household property
Department and public infrastructure. Almost all of the States of India are
vulnerable to at least some of the natural calamities, including
cyclone, flood, tsunami, drought, earthquake etc. Climate change is
also now exacerbating disasters, both in terms of numbers and
complexity. Almost all types of natural disasters can lead to
situations of large scale displacement of communities whose health
is at risk due to disruption of basic services like drinking water
sanitation, health care, food supply etc.
Water supply and sanitation in particular, often become the most
crucial needs of the disaster-affected population, especially women
and children. The onslaught of natural disasters may lead to
outbreak of epidemics like cholera, diarrheal diseases, dengue,
malaria, typhoid etc. It is possible to mitigate, if not prevent, the
adverse impact of disasters, by planned disaster risk reduction
interventions on water supply, sanitation and hygiene by
Government and other stakeholders.
16. Panchayat Raj In general, if the local bodies like Panchayats are not consulted for
Department preparedness planning, relief and rehabilitation work, it leads to
absence of transparency and accountability in the mitigation efforts.
The whole approach towards rehabilitation work may end up being
„top down‟ in nature. As the relief and restoration efforts involve
investment of hundreds and thousands of cores rupees, there
should be satisfaction of having utilized them properly and
efficiently. Activities like distributing immediate relief in the form of
money, food grains, medical care, cloths, tents, vessels drinking
water and other necessities, activities of restoration, rehabilitation
and reconstruction efforts of damaged villages and towns can be
implemented better with the involvement of local bodies.
2.5.2. Key Actions to strengthen the functioning of Kadapa District Administration and
Departments in Disaster Management
Sr. Department Capacity Areas for Key actions to strengthen functioning of
No Improvement the departments
1 Agriculture Personnel, Seed - The department was facing difficulty in
Department Coordination Distribution, Crop the process of seed distribution, which
with District damage has to be take utmost care
administration, Assessment and - The crop damage assessment during
Public Disaster the times of disaster was the major
awareness and management huddle faced by the department. So
support, and guidelines necessary measures has to be taken
Equipment into consideration to overcome such
difficulties
21
- The Standard Operating System was
not framed but the department serves
the public in emergencies only basing
on the instant SOPs. So a standard SOP
has to be developed in the department
to act smart whenever required
2 Animal Personnel, Fodder - The department faces difficulty in
Husbandry Coordination Assessment, Fodder Assessment during normal
Department with district Storage, Mobility times which has to be improvised for
administration, of staff and the better performance
Equipment and Disaster - The storage is the main problem faced
Fodder management by the department. The fodder
Distribution guidelines storage, productive storage and cold
storage were to be improvised.
- Mobility to the site of action was the
problem faced by the department.
Mobility of the staff to cover the
vaccinations and supply of inputs like
life saving drugs and feed,
compensation distribution was the
major challenge faced by the
department.
- The department doesn’t have any
standard SOPs in case of disasters. But
the department act according to the
instant SOPs during the emergencies.
So it is needed to frame a well

4.3. Hazard wise details and Vulnerabilities
4.3.1. Cyclone:
As per the Wind and Cyclone Hazard Map of India, Kadapa lies in Low Damage Risk
Zone – A (Vb = 33m/s), Moderate Damage Risk Zone – B (Vb = 39m/s) and Moderate
Damage Risk Zone – A (Vb = 44m/s).
The following table lists the blocks that fall in either of cyclone hazard zones, area of
each block in each of the hazard zones and population in these blocks vulnerable to
cyclones. 14% area of the district and 13% of population is vulnerable to “Low Damage
Risk Zone – A (Vb = 33m/s)”. 73% area of the district and 78% of the total population is
vulnerable to “Moderate Damage Risk Zone – B (Vb = 39m/s).” While 13% area of the
district and 9% of the total population is vulnerable to “Moderate Damage Risk Zone –
A (Vb = 44m/s)”.
Zone Vb = 33m/s Low Damage Risk Zone – A
Zone Vb = 39m/s Moderate Damage Risk Zone – B
Zone Vb = 44m/s is Moderate Damage Risk Zone – A
The criteria followed by the Indian Meteorological Department to classify the low
pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea as adopted from the World
Meteorological Organization (W.M.O.) classifications are as given in the following
table.

4.3.2. Floods:
Floods are characterized as any high stream flow which overlap natural or artificial
banks of a river or a stream and are markedly higher than the usual; and the inundation of
low lands. Sometimes copious monsoon rains combined with massive outflows from the
rivers cause devastating floods. Flooding is caused by the inadequate capacity within the
banks of the rivers to contain the high flows brought down from the upper catchment due
to heavy rainfall. Areas having poor drainage characteristics get flooded by accumulation of
water from heavy rainfall. Flooding is accentuated by erosion and silting of the river beds
resulting in reduction of carrying capacity of river channel, earthquakes and landslides
leading to changes in river courses, obstructions to flow, synchronization of floods in the
main and tributary rivers and retardation due to tidal effects.
Floods by nature depend on several factors; one being incessant rains, cyclonic rains
in a short period of time crippling natural drainage. However, other factors such as nature of
the collecting basin, nature of the streams, type of soil, natural and man-made vegetation,
amount of rainfall etc. determine type and extent of floods. The inundation patterns and
potential areas that would be inundated due to river outflow and heavy rain is fairly certain;
and the concerned departments usually have the information. However, inundation due to
storm surges and cyclonic landfall is unpredictable and depends on the wind direction.
Floods in the district caused widespread loss to human lives, livestock, damaged
homes and caused crop destruction over the decades. Infrastructure damage due floods
is well recorded. As well as damages to roads, irrigation tanks breached.

water logging in Kadapa district.

4.3.4. Heatwave:
Heat wave: Heat-wave is a condition of atmospheric temperature that leads to physiological
stress, which sometimes can claim human life. Heat-wave is defined as the condition where
maximum temperature at a grid point is 3˚C or more than the normal temperature, consecutively
for 3 days or more. World Meteorological Organization defines a heat wave as five or more
consecutive days during which the daily maximum temperature exceeds the average maximum
temperature by five degrees Celsius. If the maximum temperature of any place continues to be
more than 45° C consecutively for two days, it is called a heat wave condition. There will be no
harm to the human body if the environmental temperature remains at 37° C. Whenever the
environmental temperature increases above 37° C, the human body starts gaining heat from the
atmosphere. If humidity is high, a person can suffer from heat stress disorders even with the
temperature at 37°C or 38°C. To calculate the effect of humidity we can use Heat Index Values.
The Heat Index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in with
the actual air temperature. As an example, if the air temperature is 34°C and the relative
humidity is 75%, the heat index--how hot it feels--is 49°C. The same effect is reached at just 31°C
when the relative humidity is 100 %.
The district experienced temperatures between 35 to 45 degrees during 24th – 30th May 2015. During
this period, 73% of the total area and 82% of the total population experienced temperatures between 38
to 43 degrees Celsius.
The following lists the area (in sq. km.) and population in each block of the district that
experienced high temperatures during 24th – 30th of May, 2015.

Floods
11
1.4.1. Hazard: Flood
Floods by nature depend on several factors; one being incessant rains, cyclonic rains in a short period of
time crippling natural drainage. However, other factors such as nature of the collecting basin, nature of
the streams, type of soil, natural and man-made vegetation, amount of rainfall etc. determine type and
extent of floods. The inundation patterns and potential areas that would be inundated due to river
outflow and heavy rain is fairly certain; and the concerned departments usually have the information.
However, inundation due to storm surges and cyclonic landfall is unpredictable and depends on the
wind direction.
Floods in the district caused widespread loss to human lives, livestock, damaged homes and caused crop
destruction over the decades. Infrastructure damage due floods is well recorded. As well as damages to
roads, irrigation tanks breached.

Heatwave
34
1.4.3. Hazard: Heatwaves
(The above image shows the population at risk in Kadapa district due to heat wave temperatures )
Heat wave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, more than the normal maximum
temperature that occurs during the pre-monsoon (April to June) summer season. Heat -waves
35
typically occur between March to June, and in some rare cases even extend till July. Heat waves
are more frequent over the Indo-Gangetic plains of India. On an average, 5-6 heat wave events
occur every year over the northern parts of the country. The most notable amongst the recent
ones are Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) 46 °C.
The extreme temperatures combined with high humidity and resultant atmospheric conditions
adversely affect people living in these regions leading to physiological stress, sometimes even
death. This unusual and uncomfortable hot weather can impact human and animal health and
also cause major disruption in community infrastructure such as power supply, public transport
and other essential services. Heat wave is also called a “silent disaster” as it develops slowly and
kills and injures humans and animals nationwide. Higher daily peak temperatures of longer
duration and more intense heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent globally due to
climate change. India too is feeling the impact of climate change in terms of increased instances
of heat wave with each passing year.

Capability Building: At the Community Level:
Capability building at the community level has to be largely self-orientated like swimming,
firmly thatching of roofs, taking out an injured lying under debris and carrying safely for medical
aid, rescuing a person while drowning etc.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation and
disaster preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the institutions
as well as at the community level.
53
The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district level
Disaster Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan implementation
strategy and its upward linkages to the State and downward linkages to the communities. From
the district side, the officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its
functioning, its roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster Management
Plan, the involvement of local bodies in the plan preparation and implementation in
coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and
panchayat levels, the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities at Lo, L1,
L2 period in coordination with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and manpower. All
these orientations through well-structured programmes are specifically required
because of the whole exercise of disaster management still being relief centre with
states and villages.
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase
understanding of issues and in the light of the increased understanding and appreciation, to act
in a desired manner in a given situation. The response is not wooden but enlivened by the use
of intelligence if the situation happens to be at variance. It is a modulation which will be
required, in the context of disaster management, by the district level institutions, and
government departments, the district level agencies, stakeholders other than the state and its
agencies, and the people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward, are the
communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level functionaries, the District
administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are the constitutional bodies and have
well defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such, disaster
preparedness of a state is required to be measured in terms of community preparedness. But,
before preparing people, the state itself, its machinery, its concerned institution, it
functionaries at all level shall have to be prepared. That is, before the disaster preparedness is
initiated at the community level, the Gram Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional,
the District Disaster Management Authority, the District level Emergency Operation Centre, the
District Disaster Management Plan shall be ready; the State Disaster Management Authority,
the State Disaster Response Force and State level Emergency Operation Centre all shall be
ready to get engaged to support community empowerment.
54
Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building steps
needs to be conducated;
55
Economizing water consumption.
Selection of crops suitable for drip irrigation.
Arrangements for alternative source of drinking water.
To keep the roof of their hutments firmly tied.
To remain alert for warning.
To orient their family members about high speed wind and
what they are expected to do.
High Velocity Wind Avoid keeping anything heavy or sharp on roofs of hutments.
Identify an alternative and safe place to take refuge in case of
emergencies.

Disaster Response Plan

1.Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster
Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put
in place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory
update for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

9. Media briefing about the scenario DDMA, Kadapa Within 2 hours
10. Prepare detailed assessment report DEOC, Kadapa Within 24
hours
11. Withdrawal of declaration of disaster on DC, Kadapa As on
normalization of the situation. normalization
of the
situation
1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

1.4. Level 3
L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of
a wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early
warning or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan
means setting in motion command, coordination, and management of the
situation. The activities described in the following standard operating procedures
(SOPs) are to be initiated immediately to ensure that loss and damage are
minimized. One SOP is in the case where early warning is available, the other
when there is no early warning, thus the activation of the response depends on the
type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood and
cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency Operation
Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
9
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that warning
information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and resources
to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing the
disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as telephone,
mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State Disaster
Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is submitted
to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well
as for supply of food, drinking water, and other materials.
10) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels.

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based
on the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the
information dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint
District Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure
that the early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the
Village Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural
13
areas and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early
warning communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses
without any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District
Collector from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers
identified for information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk
Voice SMS service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the
disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in
their panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
14
First assessment report need to be collected in a specified format (as in Appendix
J) to understand the scale and intensity of impact directly on the population. The
aspects assessed are limited and majorly looks to assess the socio-economic
impact of the disaster. The FAR for the areas belonging to respective Lot Mandal’s
will be collected and submitted to Tehsildars. Tehsildars will in-turn compile the
information and submit it to the District Collector and DDMA.
District Crisis Management Group (CMG) meeting is the first meeting chaired by
the Responsible Officer (District Collector) of the Incident Response Team which
involves participation of all key members of IRT that is inclusive of ESF Primary
Stakeholders (as per the type of disaster discussed below), MPDO and Tehsildars.
This meeting may be held at the backdrop of FAR (as in 8.2) outputs and decisions
taken based on this. The RO shall appoint the personnel such as Incident
Commander and other functionaries that will be part of Incident Response Team.
The DC at this point shall order conducting of ‘Rapid Damage & Needs assessment’
by the team that forms part of this ESF.
3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at
low cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as
the DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the
previous set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing
an important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
15
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.

Emergency communication
In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Kadapa
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of
the measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority
towards disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational
Disaster Emergency Operation Centre.

5.First Information Report
The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss
as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a
quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the
occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific
format in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on
the population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC).
The FIR can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then
forwarded to the DC.
21
6.District Crisis Management Group
Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,
chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the
backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary
findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries
associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At
this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).
The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited
needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair
items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important
to bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and
sometimes the security environment.

7.Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment is critical for decision makers in order
for them to plan the emergency response in the most appropriate and effective
manner. It includes mobilizing resources and deploying responders in areas that
need urgent actions as needed to minimize/avoid loss of lives. The format of this
assessment is found in detail below.

9.Incident Response System
The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the
phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up
approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers
prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required
resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary
agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback
to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.
The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district
administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of
this, the IRS for Kadapa was agreed during the consultations performed on field
and officials were appointed for each position.
In order to easily understand the IRS of Kadapa, following is the model IRS
structure as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management
Authority. In sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander,
Information & Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff
encompasses three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which
being comprised of various groups and units.
34
9.1. Kadapa Incident Response System
The IRS of Kadapa is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective officials in the
district holding each of them.
35
9.2. Command staff – major responsibilities
The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of
the incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as
follow:
The Incident Commander is the individual responsible for the management of all
incident operations of the incident site.
- Determine incident objectives and strategies based on the available
information and resources;
- Establish immediate priorities, including search and rescue, and relief
distribution strategies;
- Assess requirements for maintenance of law and order, traffic etc. if any at the
incident site, and make arrangements with help of the local police;
- Brief higher authorities about the situation and request for additional
resources, if required;
- Establish appropriate IRS organisation with Sections, Branches, Divisions and/or
Units based on the span of control and scale of the incident;
- Establish Incident Command Post at a suitable place. In case of total
destruction of buildings, tents or temporary shelters may be used as Incident
Command Post or even a mobile van with complete communication equipment.
If appropriate or enough space is not available, other Sections can function
from a different convenient location, as long as there is a proper, fail-safe
contact with the ICP in order to provide quick assistance;
- Approve and authorise the implementation of an Incident Action Plan and
ensure that it is regularly developed and updated as per debriefing of IRS
members. It will be reviewed every 24 hours and circulated to all concerned;
- Ensure that all Sections or Units are working as per Incident Action Plan and
that team members are briefed on performance of various activities;
- Ensure that planning meetings are held at regular intervals. The meetings will
draw out an implementation strategy for effective incident response. The
decision to hold this meeting is solely the responsibility of the IC. Apart from
other members, ensure that PSC attend all briefing and debriefing meetings;
- Ensure that adequate safety measures for responders and affected communities
are in place;
- Ensure proper coordination between all Sections of the IRS, agencies working in
the response activities and make sure that all conflicts are resolved;
- Approve and ensure that the required additional resources are procured and
issued to the concerned Sections, Branches and Units etc. and are properly
utilised.
- If required, establish contact with PRIs, urban local bodies, community-based
organizations, NGOs etc. and seek their cooperation in achieving the objectives
36
of Incident Action Plan and enlist their support to act as local guides in assisting
the external rescue and relief teams;
The Information and Media Officer is responsible for developing and releasing
information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and
to other appropriate agencies and organizations.
- prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others with the approval of the Incident Commander;
- monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;
- coordinate with India Meteorological Department (IMD) to collect weather
information and disseminate it to all concerned;
- maintain record of various activities performed;
- ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
- Organise Incident Action Plan meetings as directed by the Incident Commander
or when required.
Reasons for the Incident Commander to designate an Information and Media
Officer:
- reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information;
- need to alert, warn or instruct the public;
- ensure that Incident Commander effectiveness is not obstructed by media
demands.
The Liaison Officer is the point of contact to assist the first responders,
cooperating agencies and line departments. It may be designated depending on
the number of agencies involved and the spread of affected area.
- maintain a list of concerned line departments, agencies, community-based and
non-governmental organizations and their representatives at various locations;
- carry out liaison with all concerned agencies including National Disaster
Response Force and Armed Forces and line departments;
- monitor operations to identify current or potential inter-agency problems;
- participate in planning meetings and provide information on response by
participating agencies;
- keep the Incident Commander informed about arrivals of all the government
and non-government agencies and their resources;
- help in organising briefing sessions of all governmental and non-governmental
agencies with the Incident Commander.
Reasons to establish the Liaison Officer position at an incident:
37
- several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident in
support of their resources;
- the Incident Commander can no longer provide the time for individual
coordination with each agency representative;
- two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident
requires on-site liaison.

40
10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination
Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food,
medical services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore,
government should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the
response. For instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was
decided that the police would take up the task of rescue operations and the
revenue and panchayat administration would concentrate on providing medical
assistance and relief. In this sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in
advance is of fundamental importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by
involving officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like
Labour Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self
Government and PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire
Services and Civil Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, Kadapa as it is the
nucleus of all disaster management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA
and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists
keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the
SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State
needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,
SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the
various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be
constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more
professional human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation
Fund in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
At National Level:
41
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national
level should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis
Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that
the National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of
Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management
Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as
the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help
in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF
should be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that
the NEC meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all
programs related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster
Management Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In
accordance with section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek
advice from the Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster
management and having practical experience of disaster management at the
national, state or district level on various aspects of disaster management. In
addition, subject specific Sub-Committees may be constituted to look into the
different aspects of disaster management in respect of the specific disasters,
helping preparation of action plan and monitoring of gaps in implementation.

with the police control room.
If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the
control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a
temporary control room set up in the open.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as
bulldozers, cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery),
trucks, and Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources
that are available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting
the necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves
affected and if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex
problem of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of
heavy equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room,
desperately asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able
to respond providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource
to meet the needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
43
Medical Services, Kadapa
A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the
disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get
overwhelmed.
Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief
activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief
District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.
The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and
according to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat,
2001, the decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the
hospital. Four days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the
hospital was made functional with all the necessary equipment.
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.
Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to
sleep outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of
tents and other temporary sheds within a short time.
44
220 engineers and skilled staff in the affected areas for restoration of the power
supply. By 5 February 2001, i.e., 10 days after the earthquake, 80 per cent of the
services were restored.
The water supply may also be restored in case it gets damaged. Measure to supply
water such as through tankers and repair of pipelines should be undertaken
immediately.
45
Organize briefing on daily basis towards the end of the day.
Facilitate media personnel in their interaction with other emergency
functionaries, if possible.
Prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others
with the approval of IC;
Jot down decisions taken and directions issued in case of sudden disasters when
the
IMT has not been fully activated and hand it over to the PS on its activation for
incorporation in the IAP;
Ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
Monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;
Organise IAP meetings as directed by the IC or when required;
Coordinate with IMD to collect weather information and disseminate it to all
concerned;
Maintain record of various activities performed and
Perform such other duties as assigned by IC.
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the
local administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them
to undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and
skilled personnel.

47
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the
medical care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or
health centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share
with the district administration/response teams information about the most
vulnerable groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by
deploying volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

4.Immediate Recovery
The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify
what is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the
district. This component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the
recovery stage (see the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending
upon the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary
to overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and
activities to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
60
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase
of immediate recovery.
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
61
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
62
Animal health
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief
supplies generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide
temporary wages while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their
long-term recovery.
Banking operations
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
63
5.Long-term Recovery
Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the
long-term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
64
5.2. Social and economic recovery
Rehabilitation
During this phase, families placed in temporary shelters due to damage or
destruction of their houses or erosion of their land has to be smoothly
rehabilitated through requisite infrastructure recovery interventions. Efforts shall
be made to rehabilitate these families to locations at least close to the original
habitations to keep them in proximity of pre-disaster communities and land.
Education
Schools have to be made operational in the shortest span through the post-disaster
period.
Wage employment
The focus on providing wage employment through MGNREGS should be continued
with greater vigour for the affected parts of the district so as to provide economic
recovery while original livelihoods such as agriculture outputs are restored to
normalcy.
Livelihoods
Work towards strengthening livelihoods to be more economically and
environmentally sustainable, as well as more resilient to future disasters. In this
long-term recovery effort, focus is on livelihoods diversification, creation of
alternative income generating activities, providing financial services such as loans
and insurance, and strengthening forward linkages with markets for existing and
new livelihoods.
Credit
This shall be done by formation of self-help groups (SHGs) for affected
communities so as to support in buying or rebuilding assets such as domestic
animals, farm equipments, craft equipments and others by providing microcredit.
This is critical to reduce the dependency of the population in the district
administration for support.
Micro insurance
Increase of the coverage of micro insurance in order to include more farmers and
livestock owners and their productive lands/livestock to ensure risk transfer
benefits in case of damages from any future disasters.
Disaster resilient livelihoods
Agriculture is the mainstay of the district while it is one of those vulnerable to
natural hazards. Alternative livelihoods such as crafts, sericulture and plantation
of Khus (Vetiver) for its oil production with a processing industry may be sought by
the district.
65
Agronomic rehabilitation
The district administration has to ensure that soil testing labs research and
formulate necessary steps required for agronomic rehabilitation and may
coordinate with NGOs working in this field to channelize their support.
Additionally, it is paramount to suggest cropping patterns, suitable compositions of
fertilizers, pesticide, etc, depending upon the changes in soil due to the disaster
and develop a model of rehabilitation of the same.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some
activities to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided
by schemes under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised
sector through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy
units;schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.
- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) Plan.
66
6.Holistic Recovery Process
The District Disaster Management Authority of Kadapa should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to
better utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be
noted that external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or
may not be completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the
Disaster Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process
and has to ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and
constant monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do
not get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is
necessary to define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal
as per the situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should
be incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected
community in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring
sustainable development of the community and the district as a whole.

1.4. Standard checklist for Revenue Department: In-charge Officer: DC/ JC/DRO
The Krishna is the second largest Eastward draining River in Peninsular India covering vast area in the
States of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The basin drains an area of 2,58,948 km22. This is
nearly 8 % of the total geographical area of India. It is the major river passing through Krishna district
covering a length of 1,280 kms. Other chief rivers of the district are Muniyeru (Muneru), the Tammileru
and Budameru. Krishna river debouches in to the Bay of Bengal at Hamsala Divi and Nachugunta in this
district. The district contains small hillstreams viz., Jayanthi, Kattaleru, Ippalavagu, Upputeru, Telleru,
Ballaleru, Nadimeyeru.
In the past four decades the district due to its growing population has infringed into the flood plains.
Flooding due to Krishna River is common and almost every monsoon people living in the flood plains of
Krishna River are affected. The data on floods over last many years and information collected from
Irrigation Department indicates that floods are mainly caused by release of waters from Nagarjuna Sagar
(NS) Dam. Since the main purpose of the NS dam is to provide irrigation, the dam authorities try to fill
the reservoirs during the monsoon to ensure water availability for the farmers during summers.
Therefore occurrence of severe rainfall (1 or 2 days of extreme precipitation) due to cyclone or
depression (or in occasional cases cloudburst) during the latter half of the monsoon season in the lower
and middle part of Krishna basin leads sudden increase in the reservoir level forcing the dam authorities
to release water which sometime may exceed the carrying capacity of the river (as happened in October
2009). This leads to flooding along downstream areas.

District Disaster Management Plan of Krishna District, Volume II | Preparedness Plan 11
In order to safe guard the people and their livelihood the Irrigation Department has constructed flood
banks. Length of the flood banks on both sides of the river is around 230 Kilometers. Flood containing
capacity of flood banks is around 11.3 Lakh Cusecs. These were constructed during 1883 - 1892 period
and were raised and strengthened from time to time as per the observed flood levels in the year 1903,
1914, 1916 and 1949.
After 1949 floods, the flood banks were also strengthened incorporating the top level of flood of 0.91 M
above the maximum flood level as observed then. The maximum flood discharge observed during the
year 1903 was 11.90 lakh cusecs. After the construction of the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam in the upstream
of the river, during the year 1998 Krishna River received a maximum flood discharge of 9.32 lakh cusec
and caused alarming situation throughout the flood banks below the Prakasam Barrage. Subsequently
the flood banks of Krishna River were restored to original standards during the year 1999 to 2000. These
restorations did not include flood banks which are within and nearby Vijayawada city namely Krishna
Left Flood Bank (upstream of Prakasam Barrage) and Krishna Lanka Flood Bank (downstream of
Prakasam Barrage). Subsequently the maximum floods which were received in the 2005 and 2009 were
7.4 lakh cusec and 11.1 lakh cusecs.
According to the news reports during the cyclone in September 2005, the water level at the Velagaleru
regulator reached 8.5 m (danger level is 9 m). The gates of regulator had to be opened to release the
water which resulted in severe flooding in the northern part of the
vijayawada city.

Cyclones are the most predominant hazards and very common in Andhra Pradesh. In the last century
Andhra Pradesh has experienced around 100 depressions1, 62 cyclones and over 50 severe cyclonic
storms. The Krishna district falls in high cyclone risk zone. Cyclones mostly occur in the months of May
and November. As the above map illustrates the coastal areas in the district including Machalipatnam
city.

Ensuring there is sufficient stock of seeds and other agriculture resources in
disaster prone areas. Also there is availability of preventive measures.
Check and ensure there is sufficient stock of equipment and tools for the
repairing of non-functional machines and equipment.
Drought is another important hazard for the district with mild to moderate risk. Due to drought
habitations in the district suffered from drinking water scarcity due to drying up of spot sources as well
as insufficient water storage in drinking water storage tanks fed either by rain water or by canal system.
Owing to drought conditions, fodder production was depleted resulting in fodder scarcity. Such
condition led to increase in the demand for the supply of fodder with accompanied hike in prices. Added
to these factors the fodder had to be transported from surplus areas to the deficit areas and the
transportation cost being added made fodder very costly. (DDMP, 2015).

2.2. Capacity Building
Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self or other than the
self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self, whereas, the skill to operate a fire
extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire extinguisher.
Capability Building: At the Community Level:
Capability building at the community level has to be largely self-orientated like swimming, firmly
thatching of roofs, taking out an injured lying under debris and carrying safely for medical aid, rescuing a
person while drowning etc.
Capability Building: At the Ground Level Institutions:
Capability building at the ground level institutions one has to build around self as well as simple
technologies based equipments: For example, plying of motorized boats, debris removal, fire
extinguishers, first aid, snake/dog bite treatment, driving two wheelers, four wheelers setting up of
tents, operating communication equipments, repair and maintenance of the same. The institutions that
have to deal directly with the first respondent, that is communities, are.
Police Mitras
Village and Mandal level officials
PACs
Local CBO, & NGOs
Urban Local Bodies
For this category of institutions, the capacity development programme and activities have to deal with:
Comprehensive understanding of hazard wise disaster caused
Hazard wise impact of disaster on people, livestock, property structures, agriculture,
infrastructure etc.
Segment of impact wise operation to provide help and support with rescue, relief and shelter.
Keeping people alert and prepared on a periodic basis for the eventualities, that is, organizing
drills and rehearsals.
The programme and activities have to be in training and skill development mode coupled with practical
and demonstrative exercises supported by IEC materials.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation and disaster
preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the institutions as well as
at the community level.
Institutional Capacity Building
The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district level Disaster
Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan implementation strategy and its
upward linkages to the State and downward linkages to the communities. From the district side, the
officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its functioning, its
roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster Management Plan, the involvement of
local bodies in the plan preparation and implementation in coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and panchayat levels,
the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities at Lo, L1, L2 period in coordination
with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and manpower. All these
orientations through well-structured programmes are specifically required because of the whole
exercise of disaster management still being relief centre with states and villages.
District Disaster Management Plan of Krishna District, Volume II | Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of Krishna 68
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase understanding of
issues and in the light of the increased understanding and appreciation, to act in a desired manner in a
given situation. The response is not wooden but enlivened by the use of intelligence if the situation
happens to be at variance. It is a modulation which will be required, in the context of disaster
management, by the district level institutions, and government departments, the district level agencies,
stakeholders other than the state and its agencies, and the people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward, are the
communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level functionaries, the District
administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are the constitutional bodies and have well
defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such, disaster preparedness
of a state is required to be measured in terms of community preparedness. But, before preparing
people, the state itself, its machinery, its concerned institution, it functionaries at all level shall have to
be prepared. That is, before the disaster preparedness is initiated at the community level, the Gram
Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional, the District Disaster Management Authority, the
District Command and Communication Centre, the District Disaster Management Plan shall be ready;
the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority, the State Disaster Response Force, the
National Institute of Disaster Management (Southern Centre) and State level Emergency Operation
Centre all shall be ready to get engaged to support community empowerment. Some common areas for
building knowledge and capacity are highlighted in the following table on which actions need to be
taken
Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building steps
needs to be conducted;
1. District & State Orientation course for first Home Guards, Civil Defence volunteers,
responders to disasters Forest Protection Force, Police

3. Climate Change Actions:
Climate change is one of the most important global environmental challenges facing humanity with
implications for food production, natural ecosystems, freshwater supply, health, etc. While a changing
climate poses a challenge to humanity as a whole, the available evidence suggests that the developing
countries particularly are more vulnerable. Climate change will seriously hit the agriculture sector in
Andhra Pradesh (AP), affecting the incomes of farmers by as much as 20 per cent. According to the
latest World Bank report on “The impact of climate change on India”, dry land farmer’s incomes in AP
plunge by 20 per cent. Under a modest to harsh climate change scenario of a substantial rise in
temperatures (2.30 C to 3.40 C) and a modest but erratic increase in rainfall (4% to 8%), small farmer
incomes could decline by as much as 20%.7
Although an increase in natural disasters like cyclones is considered to be a strong indicator of climate
change, there is less evidence that this is happening in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The
incidence of cyclones may have remained largely the same as ever, what may have increased is their
intensity and their area of distribution. The last two cyclones to have hit the Andhra Pradesh coast –
Cyclone Laila and Cyclone Nilam – have left significant damages in their wake, affecting agriculture and
fisheries very badly. Another critical change with respect to the cyclones has been that they too have
ceased to be seasonal: until mid-1990s, specific months – May & November – were considered as the
‘cyclone months’ and the administration could be prepared to deal with them in those months.
However, over the last 18 years, the seasonal nature of the cyclonic activity has proved to be no longer
valid and cyclones have become more erratic. The other natural disaster that can be linked to climate
change, and that by 1980s had been considered to have been largely controlled in Andhra Pradesh, is
the incidence of flash floods. The sudden and intensive downpours in the upland areas lead to sudden
and excessive flooding that the existing flood banks and other preventive infrastructure are unable to
cope with. The obstructive constructions built over former water drainage channels in the plains
contribute to aggravate the impacts of the floods. Unlike in the case of cyclones, there are no advance
warning systems to warn people of the imminent flooding of their areas, which contribute to further
increasing the extent of damages.
The production and productivity of cotton is sensitive to climate induced effects like temperature,
rainfall, radiation, CO2 concentration, changes in soil properties, pests and disease infestations. The
potential of any crop variety is subjected to various environmental conditions and a large fraction of the
potential yield is not attained. According to an estimate, crops less than 25 per cent of the potential
yield due to the adverse environmental conditions, and low water availability affected crop productivity
nearly as much as all the other environmental factors combined. Stresses can occur at any stage of plant
growth and development, thus illustrating the dynamic nature of crop plants and their productivity.
Amongst the abiotic stresses, deficiency of soil water constitutes a primary limitation to crop
productivity in many regions of the world.. Uncertainties in rainfall and other environmental hazards in
dry land farming cause large year to year fluctuation in cotton production and productivity. Yield arrivals
showed wide variability because of their inability to capture the indeterminate nature of the crop and its
response to seasonal weather variables like rainfall, temperature, sunshine, relative humidity and
evaporation etc. The unreliability in the rainfall is posing serious problem in cotton production.
The area of Krishna district is 8727 sq. km and the length of the coastal line is 111 Km and continental
shelf area is 865 sq.km. Particularly in the context of Krishna district, there is less evidence for sea level
rise, but intense storms and increased wave action have certainly accelerated the rate of erosion in

vulnerability index to disasters and climate change. The extent of drought and heat wave conditions are
other weather related hazards aggravated by climate change in the district. Krishna which has the
second highest proportion of urban population (40.8%) in the state also has to deal with a number of
issues for sustainable urban development including energy, water, waste, infrastructure and resilience
to natural disasters. This section of the DDMP builds on these projected and possible impacts of
climate change to evolve necessary adaptation measures for sustainability in the long run as follow:

1.Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster
Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put
in place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory
update for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

11. Withdrawal of declaration of disaster on DC, Krishna As on
normalization of the situation. normalization

situation
1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

1.4. Level 3
L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of
a wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early
warning or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan
means setting in motion command, coordination, and management of the
situation. The activities described in the following standard operating procedures
(SOPs) are to be initiated immediately to ensure that loss and damage are
minimized. One SOP is in the case where early warning is available, the other
when there is no early warning, thus the activation of the response depends on the
type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood and
cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency Operation
Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
9
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that warning
information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and resources
to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing the
disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as telephone,
mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State Disaster
Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is submitted
to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well
as for supply of food, drinking water, and other materials.
10) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels.

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based
on the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the
information dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC), Krishna and
the Joint District Collector, Krishna communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who,
in its turn, ensure that the early warning information is disseminated to the
communities through the Village Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural
13
areas and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early
warning communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses
without any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District
Collector from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers
identified for information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk
Voice SMS service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the
disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in
their panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
14
First assessment report need to be collected in a specified format (as in Appendix
J) to understand the scale and intensity of impact directly on the population. The
aspects assessed are limited and majorly looks to assess the socio-economic
impact of the disaster. The FAR for the areas belonging to respective Lot Mandal’s
will be collected and submitted to Tehsildars. Tehsildars will in-turn compile the
information and submit it to the District Collector and DDMA.
District Crisis Management Group (CMG) meeting is the first meeting chaired by
the Responsible Officer (District Collector) of the Incident Response Team which
involves participation of all key members of IRT that is inclusive of ESF Primary
Stakeholders (as per the type of disaster discussed below), MPDO and Tehsildars.
This meeting may be held at the backdrop of FAR (as in 8.2) outputs and decisions
taken based on this. The RO shall appoint the personnel such as Incident
Commander and other functionaries that will be part of Incident Response Team.
The DC at this point shall order conducting of ‘Rapid Damage & Needs assessment’
by the team that forms part of this ESF.
3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at
low cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as
the DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the
previous set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing
an important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
15
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.

4.District Emergency Operation Centre
The role of the District Emergency Operation Centre during an emergency/disaster
response can be summarized in the activities detailed in the table below.
17
4.2. Scope of work of the District Control Room
Time Activities
Frame
Ensure that all warning and communication systems, instructions are in
working condition;
Receive information on a routine and regular basis from the
departments on the vulnerability of the various Gram panchayats and
Villages to disaster

departments and other departments, as per as the formats. Based on
these reports, the DEOC will forward the Preparedness Measures details
on behalf of the Collector to the State Control Room, Relief
Commissioner
Upgrade and update District Control Room system according to
changing scenarios in the district update data bank and maintain an
inventory of resources.
Update all information on the SDRN / IDRN Inform State Control Room,
Relief Commissioner of any changes, including updating of data bank
and annexure.

and material management in emergencies with proper inventorization.
Emergency communication
In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Krishna
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of
the measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority
towards disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational
Disaster Emergency Operation Centre.

5.First Information Report
The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss
as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a
quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the
occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific
format in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on
the population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC).
The FIR can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then
forwarded to the DC.
23
6.District Crisis Management Group
Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,
chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the
backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary
findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries
associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At
this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).
The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited
needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair
items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important
to bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and
sometimes the security environment.

7.Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment is critical for decision makers in order
for them to plan the emergency response in the most appropriate and effective
manner. It includes mobilizing resources and deploying responders in areas that
need urgent actions as needed to minimize/avoid loss of lives. The format of this
assessment is found in detail below.

9.Incident Response System
The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the
phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up
approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers
prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required
resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary
agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback
to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.
The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district
administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of
this, the IRS for Krishna was agreed during the consultations performed on field
and officials were appointed for each position.
In order to easily understand the IRS of Krishna, following is the model IRS
structure as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management
Authority. In sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander,
Information & Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff
encompasses three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which
being comprised of various groups and units.
36
9.1. Krishna Incident Response System
The IRS of Krishna is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective officials in
the district holding each of them.
37
9.2. Command staff – major responsibilities
The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of
the incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as
follow:
The Incident Commander is the individual responsible for the management of all
incident operations of the incident site.
- Determine incident objectives and strategies based on the available
information and resources;
- Establish immediate priorities, including search and rescue, and relief
distribution strategies;
- Assess requirements for maintenance of law and order, traffic etc. if any at the
incident site, and make arrangements with help of the local police;
- Brief higher authorities about the situation and request for additional
resources, if required;
- Establish appropriate IRS organisation with Sections, Branches, Divisions and/or
Units based on the span of control and scale of the incident;
- Establish Incident Command Post at a suitable place. In case of total
destruction of buildings, tents or temporary shelters may be used as Incident
Command Post or even a mobile van with complete communication equipment.
If appropriate or enough space is not available, other Sections can function
from a different convenient location, as long as there is a proper, fail-safe
contact with the ICP in order to provide quick assistance;
- Approve and authorise the implementation of an Incident Action Plan and
ensure that it is regularly developed and updated as per debriefing of IRS
members. It will be reviewed every 24 hours and circulated to all concerned;
- Ensure that all Sections or Units are working as per Incident Action Plan and
that team members are briefed on performance of various activities;
- Ensure that planning meetings are held at regular intervals. The meetings will
draw out an implementation strategy for effective incident response. The
decision to hold this meeting is solely the responsibility of the IC. Apart from
other members, ensure that PSC attend all briefing and debriefing meetings;
- Ensure that adequate safety measures for responders and affected communities
are in place;
- Ensure proper coordination between all Sections of the IRS, agencies working in
the response activities and make sure that all conflicts are resolved;
- Approve and ensure that the required additional resources are procured and
issued to the concerned Sections, Branches and Units etc. and are properly
utilised.
- If required, establish contact with PRIs, urban local bodies, community-based
organizations, NGOs etc. and seek their cooperation in achieving the objectives
38
of Incident Action Plan and enlist their support to act as local guides in assisting
the external rescue and relief teams;
The Information and Media Officer is responsible for developing and releasing
information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and
to other appropriate agencies and organizations.
- prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others with the approval of the Incident Commander;
- monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;
- coordinate with India Meteorological Department (IMD) to collect weather
information and disseminate it to all concerned;
- maintain record of various activities performed;
- ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
- Organise Incident Action Plan meetings as directed by the Incident Commander
or when required.
Reasons for the Incident Commander to designate an Information and Media
Officer:
- reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information;
- need to alert, warn or instruct the public;
- ensure that Incident Commander effectiveness is not obstructed by media
demands.
The Liaison Officer is the point of contact to assist the first responders,
cooperating agencies and line departments. It may be designated depending on
the number of agencies involved and the spread of affected area.
- maintain a list of concerned line departments, agencies, community-based and
non-governmental organizations and their representatives at various locations;
- carry out liaison with all concerned agencies including National Disaster
Response Force and Armed Forces and line departments;
- monitor operations to identify current or potential inter-agency problems;
- participate in planning meetings and provide information on response by
participating agencies;
- keep the Incident Commander informed about arrivals of all the government
and non-government agencies and their resources;
- help in organising briefing sessions of all governmental and non-governmental
agencies with the Incident Commander.
Reasons to establish the Liaison Officer position at an incident:
39
- several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident in
support of their resources;
- the Incident Commander can no longer provide the time for individual
coordination with each agency representative;
- two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident
requires on-site liaison.

42
10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination
Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food,
medical services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore,
government should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the
response. For instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was
decided that the police would take up the task of rescue operations and the
revenue and panchayat administration would concentrate on providing medical
assistance and relief. In this sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in
advance is of fundamental importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by
involving officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like
Labour Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self
Government and PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire
Services and Civil Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, as it is the nucleus
of all disaster management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA
and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists
keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the
SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State
needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,
SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the
various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be
constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more
professional human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation
Fund in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
At National Level:
43
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national
level should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis
Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that
the National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of
Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management
Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as
the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help
in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF
should be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that
the NEC meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all
programs related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster
Management Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In
accordance with section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek
advice from the Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster
management and having practical experience of disaster management at the
national, state or district level on various aspects of disaster management. In
addition, subject specific Sub-Committees may be constituted to look into the
different aspects of disaster management in respect of the specific disasters,
helping preparation of action plan and monitoring of gaps in implementation.
Control Room
Control rooms should start functioning in different places according to pre-
established infrastructure in the district and to the severity of the disaster. These
places may involve the fire brigade, the municipal corporation, police station, or
other places.
Satellite telephone should be operative and in place in the district and state
control rooms, and backed by the police wireless as well.
A wireless set should be installed in the district Collector’s office to communicate
44
with the police control room.
If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the
control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a
temporary control room set up in the open.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as
bulldozers, cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery),
trucks, and Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources
that are available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting
the necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves
affected and if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex
problem of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of
heavy equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
Rescue Teams
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room,
desperately asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able
to respond providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource
to meet the needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
45
Medical Services
A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the
disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get
overwhelmed.
Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief
activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief
District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.
The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and
according to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat,
2001, the decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the
hospital. Four days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the
hospital was made functional with all the necessary equipment.
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.
Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to
sleep outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of
tents and other temporary sheds within a short time.
46
220 engineers and skilled staff in the affected areas for restoration of the power
supply. By 5 February 2001, i.e., 10 days after the earthquake, 80 per cent of the
services were restored.
The water supply may also be restored in case it gets damaged. Measure to supply
water such as through tankers and repair of pipelines should be undertaken
immediately.
47
11. Media Management
The coordination between the District Administration and media has to be
maintained both during and after a disaster. During the response phase it is
especially important as it helps to ensure that communities and people in the
district are better aware about the situation and interventions being made by the
administration. The following will be performed by the Information and Media
Officer as per responsibilities described in the IRS section:
49
12. Government-NGO Coordination
The role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) is crucial during all phases of
disaster management and such involvement is emphasized in the Disaster
Management Act, 2005. When it comes to disaster response, the District Disaster
Management Authority may invite NGOs to participate in the coordination and
follow-up meetings, in order to ensure that their work will be aligned with the
priority actions and that it will reach all affected people/areas. In general, the
role of NGOs and the coordination between government and NGOs is detailed
below1.
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the
local administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them
to undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and
skilled personnel.
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the
medical care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or
health centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share
with the district administration/response teams information about the most
vulnerable groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by
deploying volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
1NDMA, National Disaster Management Guidelines - Role of NGOs in Disaster Management (Draft), February 2015.

4.Immediate Recovery
The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify
what is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the
district. This component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the
recovery stage (see the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending
upon the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary
to overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and
activities to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase
of immediate recovery.
64
emergency centres functioning during a disaster and despite the damages inflicted by
it. Hospitals, schools, Anganwadi centres, offices of line departments and district
administration are examples of critical lifeline buildings and that should be retrofitted
or reconstructed after throughout assessment.
Roads and bridges
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
65
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
Animal health
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
66
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief
supplies generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide
temporary wages while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their
long-term recovery.
Banking operations
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
67
5.Long-term Recovery
Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the
long-term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
68
During this phase, families placed in temporary shelters due to damage or
destruction of their houses or erosion of their land has to be smoothly
rehabilitated through requisite infrastructure recovery interventions. Efforts shall
be made to rehabilitate these families to locations at least close to the original
habitations to keep them in proximity of pre-disaster communities and land.
Education
Schools have to be made operational in the shortest span through the post-disaster
period.
Wage employment
The focus on providing wage employment through MGNREGS should be continued
with greater vigour for the affected parts of the district so as to provide economic
recovery while original livelihoods such as agriculture outputs are restored to
normalcy.
Livelihoods
Work towards strengthening livelihoods to be more economically and
environmentally sustainable, as well as more resilient to future disasters. In this
long-term recovery effort, focus is on livelihoods diversification, creation of
alternative income generating activities, providing financial services such as loans
and insurance, and strengthening forward linkages with markets for existing and
new livelihoods.
Credit
This shall be done by formation of self-help groups (SHGs) for affected
communities so as to support in buying or rebuilding assets such as domestic
animals, farm equipments, craft equipments and others by providing microcredit.
This is critical to reduce the dependency of the population in the district
administration for support.
Micro insurance
Increase of the coverage of micro insurance in order to include more farmers and
livestock owners and their productive lands/livestock to ensure risk transfer
benefits in case of damages from any future disasters.
Disaster resilient livelihoods
Agriculture is the mainstay of the district while it is one of those vulnerable to
natural hazards. Alternative livelihoods such as crafts, sericulture and plantation
of Khus (Vetiver) for its oil production with a processing industry may be sought by
the district.
Agronomic rehabilitation
The district administration has to ensure that soil testing labs research and
69
formulate necessary steps required for agronomic rehabilitation and may
coordinate with NGOs working in this field to channelize their support.
Additionally, it is paramount to suggest cropping patterns, suitable compositions of
fertilizers, pesticide, etc, depending upon the changes in soil due to the disaster
and develop a model of rehabilitation of the same.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some
activities to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided
by schemes under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised
sector through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy
units; schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.
- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) Plan.
70
6.Holistic Recovery Process
The District Disaster Management Authority of Krishna should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to
better utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be
noted that external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or
may not be completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the
Disaster Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process
and has to ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and
constant monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do
not get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is
necessary to define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal
as per the situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should
be incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected
community in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring
sustainable development of the community and the district as a whole.

DISTRICT DISASTER
MANAGEMENT PLAN OF
KURNOOL DISTRICT
Prepare Respond
Rebuild Recover
Cyclic Graph
India in general is one of the most hazard prone countries in the world. 60% of the
country is prone to earthquakes of moderate to high intensity, 40 million hectares is
prone to floods, 5,700 km long coast is prone to cyclones and tsunamis and the whole
of Himalayas are prone to landslides. The state of Andhra Pradesh in particular is one
of the multi-hazard prone districts in India. As a result, it was important to develop a
plan that improves district’s response to disasters while improving its ability to mitigate
the disaster risks and increasing community’s resilience by implementing the
preparedness plan.
It was deemed important to put a plan in place for dealing with disasters in an
organized way with all the stakeholders well-aware of their role in responding and
preparing for disasters, as the district is responsible for responding to disasters through
its Incident Response Team in the disaster site, while the State and the Centre is
responsible for providing extended support, guidance, external resources or
additional help as required in case of any major disasters and upon the request of
support from the district.
The vision of District Disaster Management Plan is to enable disaster resilient
development in Kurnool district and continuity of services essential for life and dignity
of citizens during disaster and non-disaster situations.
1.1. The Objectives of the Plan:
• Identify areas in the district that are prone to natural and manmade
disasters;
• Understand the existing vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms of the
community by conducting panchayat level assessment exercise;
• Identify the measures that ought to be taken by the district
administration for prevention and mitigation of disasters;
• Build awareness among different stakeholders both at the
administrative as well as the community level by directly engaging
them in the process of district disaster management planning;
• Identify various existing development schemes that could be
implemented for mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in
development;
• Specify key areas for improving disaster resilience by awareness,
training and capacity-building of the stakeholders;
• Highlight preparedness measures required to be undertaken by the
district administration so as to be able to better respond to any
threatening disaster situation;
• Prepare the response plan for quick and effective response; and
• Establish the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery plan in order
to restore the vital life support systems to minimum operating
standards at a first moment and work towards rehabilitating them to
at least the original standards.
1.2. Approach:
The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach
with emphasis on prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that
Disaster Management receives the highest priority at all levels in the district. It
has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of national and state level, from
reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach is aimed to
conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and
property. For efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the
Plan has been organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Normal Befor
Time Disaster
After During
Disaster Disaster
Disaster Cycle
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation1, leading to
prevention2 & risk reduction3. Before disaster stage: Activities include
preparedness to face likely disasters, dissemination of early warnings. During
disaster stage: Activities include quick response, relief, mobilization of search
&rescue, damage assessment. After disaster stage: Activities include recovery
& rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.
1.3. Methodology
District disaster management planning has often been criticized for being
comprised of general guidelines rather than actionable plans. It has also been
criticized to be incomplete in its approach for either non-involvement of
communities (the victims of disasters) or completing mere formality. Therefore,
with the aim to overcome this scenario, the District Disaster Management
Authority (DDMA) of Kurnool in partnership with AIDMI has worked to make this
plan more inclusive. The term inclusive points to a wider community outreach,
a greater ownership by district’s administrative officers and an institution-based
focus to address safety issues.
In view of this, the process was divided in two phases. The first phase was mainly
comprised of consultations with various stakeholders such as line departments,
MP Block Development Officers (MPDOs), members of Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRI), and vulnerable communities in order to collect the necessary
information and data and understand the particularities and matters related

The process is not necessarily successful if flaws are not found, but rather if the
appropriate measures are undertaken in face of the necessary improvements.
In view of this, the role and responsibilities of the DDMA are:
10
•Monitor the functioning and adequacy of the resources present in the district every
six months
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the
* respective nodal officers
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the
respective nodal officers
•Monitor that all the officers of the frontline departments are trained as per

When it comes to the external changes, the plan has to be updated once every
year and preferably within the first month of the new financial year in order to
incorporate:
Installation of new
Change of directions by the technology by the
Opening up of any relevant
state or any updates to the NDMA/APSDMA related to
state/national institution or
State Disaster Management communication networks,
mechanism for training; etc
Plan knowledge management
systems, early warning, etc
Every time that the DDMP is reviewed and updated, it has to be uploaded on the
website of the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA)
and the updated version should distinctly mention the major changes and newly
added components so that any block or district official, community-based
organisation, NDMA, can easily study the plan etc. Additionally, the updated
DDMP has to be circulated to all stakeholder departments, agencies and
organizations.
4NDMA, Training Manual - How to conduct Emergency Management Exercise (EMEx), September 2015
12
explanation of the phases, timeline, critical actions, and outcomes and other
information are found in the manual itself.
1. The policy-level decision of the state/city approving the organization of
the EMEx is taken in this phase and it represents the commitment to hold
the exercise.
2. Identification of the types of training tracks to be held in the EMEx and
their number.
3. Definition of the financial plan and budget of the EMEx and state
commitment of financial resources towards organizing it.
4. Selection of the city/venue for holding of the EMEx.
5. Identification and selection of key stakeholders required to conduct the
EMEx, as well as management of the logistics/operations required and
monitoring arrangements.
6. Formation of a state-level committee to look after the important
decisions of EMEx.
7. Identification of participants to attend the EMEx.
8. Follow-up phase, which includes documentation (e.g. after action and
evaluation reports), link to way ahead.
Besides that, regular monitoring is strongly recommended in order to ensure
that the preparation is on track.
b) Mock-drill
The nodal authority for the task of implementation of the DDMP, whether during
or after disasters, is the DDMA. In this regard, mock-drill exercises are required in
order to verify the level of preparedness and improve the coordination during
emergencies.
Mock-drills help in evaluating response and improving coordination within the
administration, with various departments, non-government agencies, other
stakeholders and communities. They help in identifying the extent to which the
DDMP is effective and support the revision of the same, if required. These drills
enhance the ability to respond faster, better and in an organized manner
during the response and recovery phase. In sum, mock-drills are required for
the following reasons:
- Make the plan usable;
- Improve the know-how of practices to be followed while dealing with
disasters;
- Get communities prepared to deal more appropriately during disasters;
- Build the confidence of communities in the administration and
respondents; and
- Make the plan more practicable by upgrading it as per the identified
needs and gaps.
13
After every exercise of mock-drill, an evaluation report has to be elaborated. It
should include findings, recommendations, and a rank the identified findings
according to the categories described below. The format for the evaluation
report is given right after.

Departments Assessment from one-to-one Consultations
This section includes an assessment of both vulnerabilities and capacities within
the line departments. As part of the process, a number of consultations were held
with several line departments on one-to-one basis. The exercise revealed the
existing scenario in which these line departments are functioning, the challenges
they face and capabilities available when it comes to disaster management and
related matters.
In the following sub-sections, a matrix provides an overview of the current
situation of each line department, as it summarizes the main strengths and areas
of improvement. Right after, a table was prepared to provide an explanation of
these elements, as well as of other relevant factors. Depending on the line
department, some sub-topics were also added like suggestions for further action
and information about past disasters.

Heatwave
22
1.4.3. Hazard: Heatwaves
(The above image shows the blocks in Kurnool district with heat wave zones. )
23
Heat wave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, more than the normal
maximum temperature that occurs during the pre-monsoon (April to June) summer
season. Heat -waves typically occur between March to June, and in some rare cases
even extend till July. Heat waves are more frequent over the Indo-Gangetic plains of
India. On an average, 5-6 heat wave events occur every year over the northern parts of
the country. The most notable amongst the recent ones are Hyderabad (Andhra
Pradesh) 46 °C.
The extreme temperatures combined with high humidity and resultant atmospheric
conditions adversely affect people living in these regions leading to physiological
stress, sometimes even death. This unusual and uncomfortable hot weather can impact
human and animal health and also cause major disruption in community infrastructure
such as power supply, public transport and other essential services. Heat wave is also
called a “silent disaster” as it develops slowly and kills and injures humans and animals
nationwide. Higher daily peak temperatures of longer duration and more intense heat
waves are becoming increasingly frequent globally due to climate change. India too is
feeling the impact of climate change in terms of increased instances of heat wave with
each passing year.

Drought
27
1.4.4. Hazard: Drought
Revenue (Relief) Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh defines drought as a
condition arising out of scarce rainfall. Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of
climate. It occurs in virtually all climatic zones, but its characteristics vary
significantly from one region to another. Drought is a temporary aberration; it
differs from aridity, which is restricted to low rainfall regions and is a permanent
feature of climate.

Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
35
2. Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
Disaster risk reduction is aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and
managing residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to
the achievement of sustainable development. Disaster risk reduction strategies and policies
define goals and objectives across different timescales and with concrete targets, indicators
and periods. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, these
should be aimed at preventing the creation of disaster risk, the reduction of existing risk and
the strengthening of economic, social, health and environmental resilience.

2.3. Capacity Building
Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self
or other than the self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self,
whereas, the skill to operate a fire extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire
extinguisher.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation
and disaster preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the
institutions as well as at the community level.
43
Institutional Capacity Building
The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district
level Disaster Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan
implementation strategy and its upward linkages to the State and downward linkages
to the communities. From the district side, the officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its
functioning, its roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster
Management Plan, the involvement of local bodies in the plan preparation and
implementation in coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and
panchayat levels, the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities
at Lo, L1, L2 period in coordination with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and
manpower. All these orientations through well-structured programmes are
specifically required because of the whole exercise of disaster management
still being relief centre with states and villages.
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase
understanding of issues and in the light of the increased understanding and
appreciation, to act in a desired manner in a given situation. The response is not
wooden but enlivened by the use of intelligence if the situation happens to be at
variance. It is a modulation which will be required, in the context of disaster
management, by the district level institutions, and government departments, the
district level agencies, stakeholders other than the state and its agencies, and the
people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward,
are the communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level
functionaries, the District administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are
the constitutional bodies and have well defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such,
disaster preparedness of a state is required to be measured in terms of community
preparedness. But, before preparing people, the state itself, its machinery, its
concerned institution, it functionaries at all level shall have to be prepared. That is,
before the disaster preparedness is initiated at the community level, the Gram
Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional, the District Disaster Management
Authority, the District level Emergency Operation Centre, the District Disaster
Management Plan shall be ready; the State Disaster Management Authority, the State
44
Disaster Response Force and State level Emergency Operation Centre all shall be
ready to get engaged to support community empowerment.
Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building
steps needs to be conducated;
45
the drought prone areas
Promoting social forestry in the area
Protecting and channelizing the source of water like
Drought steams, river in the locality.
Economizing water consumption.
Selection of crops suitable for drip irrigation.
Arrangements for alternative source of drinking water.
To keep the roof of their hutments firmly tied.
To remain alert for warning.
To orient their family members about high speed wind
and what they are expected to do.
High Velocity Wind Avoid keeping anything heavy or sharp on roofs of
hutments.
Identify an alternative and safe place to take refuge in
case of emergencies.

1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of activity are
affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state and centre will remain
in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following actions required to be taken
during this level.
1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation of the
state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian needs are of a
sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external assistance and resources are
required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of a wide range of
humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level resources are insufficient; however the disaster
can be managed with state-level resources.
1.4. Level 3
L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state may not
have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the central government
for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian needs are of a sufficiently
large scale that significant external assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral
response is needed with the engagement of a wide range of international humanitarian actors
also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early warning or on
the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan means setting in motion
command, coordination, and management of the situation. The activities described in the
following standard operating procedures (SOPs) are to be initiated immediately to ensure
that loss and damage are minimized. One SOP is in the case where early warning is available,
the other when there is no early warning, thus the activation of the response depends on
the type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood and
cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency Operation Centre,
which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency Operation
Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member, communication system such
as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the disaster
through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that warning information is
disseminated to the communities is explained further in the Information Dissemination
section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-division/Mandals level
administration to deploy all necessary manpower and resources to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained under
the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary pre-emptive
measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A comprehensive
Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on the warning, is then
prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in the
Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing
the disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as
telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State
Disaster Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is
submitted to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well
as for supply of food, drinking water, and other materials.
10) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels.

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based on
the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the information
dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint District
Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the
early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the Village
Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural areas
2
and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early warning
communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses without
any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District Collector
from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers identified for
information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk Voice SMS
service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in their
panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.

3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at low
cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as the
DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the previous
set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing an
important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.

Emergency communication
In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Kurnool
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of the
measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority towards
disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational Disaster
Emergency Operation Centre.
10
5.First Information Report
The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss
as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a
quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the
occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific format
in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on the
population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC). The FIR
can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then forwarded to
the DC.
11
6.District Crisis Management Group
Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,
chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the
backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary
findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries
associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At
this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).
The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited
needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair
items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important to
bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and sometimes
the security environment.

The IRS of Kurnool is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective officials in the
district holding each of them.
25
9.2. Command staff – major responsibilities
The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of the
incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as
follow:
The Incident Commander is the individual responsible for the management of all
incident operations of the incident site.
- Determine incident objectives and strategies based on the available
information and resources;
- Establish immediate priorities, including search and rescue, and relief
distribution strategies;
- Assess requirements for maintenance of law and order, traffic etc. if any at
the incident site, and make arrangements with help of the local police;
- Brief higher authorities about the situation and request for additional
resources, if required;
- Establish appropriate IRS organisation with Sections, Branches, Divisions and/or
Units based on the span of control and scale of the incident;
- Establish Incident Command Post at a suitable place. In case of total
destruction of buildings, tents or temporary shelters may be used as Incident
Command Post or even a mobile van with complete communication equipment.
If appropriate or enough space is not available, other Sections can function
from a different convenient location, as long as there is a proper, fail-safe
contact with the ICP in order to provide quick assistance;
- Approve and authorise the implementation of an Incident Action Plan and
ensure that it is regularly developed and updated as per debriefing of IRS
members. It will be reviewed every 24 hours and circulated to all concerned;
- Ensure that all Sections or Units are working as per Incident Action Plan and
that team members are briefed on performance of various activities;
- Ensure that planning meetings are held at regular intervals. The meetings will
draw out an implementation strategy for effective incident response. The
decision to hold this meeting is solely the responsibility of the IC. Apart from
other members, ensure that PSC attend all briefing and debriefing meetings;
- Ensure that adequate safety measures for responders and affected
communities are in place;
- Ensure proper coordination between all Sections of the IRS, agencies working
in the response activities and make sure that all conflicts are resolved;
- Approve and ensure that the required additional resources are procured and
issued to the concerned Sections, Branches and Units etc. and are properly
utilised.
- If required, establish contact with PRIs, urban local bodies, community-based
organizations, NGOs etc. and seek their cooperation in achieving the objectives
26
of Incident Action Plan and enlist their support to act as local guides in assisting
the external rescue and relief teams;
The Information and Media Officer is responsible for developing and releasing
information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and
to other appropriate agencies and organizations.
- prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others with the approval of the Incident Commander;
- monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;

information and disseminate it to all concerned;
- maintain record of various activities performed;
- ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
- Organise Incident Action Plan meetings as directed by the Incident Commander
or when required.
Reasons for the Incident Commander to designate an Information and Media
Officer:
- reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information;
- need to alert, warn or instruct the public;
- ensure that Incident Commander effectiveness is not obstructed by media
demands.
The Liaison Officer is the point of contact to assist the first responders,
cooperating agencies and line departments. It may be designated depending

participating agencies;
- keep the Incident Commander informed about arrivals of all the government
and non-government agencies and their resources;
- help in organising briefing sessions of all governmental and non-governmental
agencies with the Incident Commander.
Reasons to establish the Liaison Officer position at an incident:
27
- several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident
in support of their resources;
- the Incident Commander can no longer provide the time for individual
coordination with each agency representative;
- two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident
requires on-site liaison.

10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination
Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food, medical
services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore, government
should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the response. For
instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was decided that the
police would take up the task of rescue operations and the revenue and panchayat
administration would concentrate on providing medical assistance and relief. In this
sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in advance is of fundamental
importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by involving
officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like Labour
Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self Government and
PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire Services and Civil
Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, Kurnool as it is the nucleus of all
disaster management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA
and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists
keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the
SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State
needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,
SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the
various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be
constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more professional
human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation Fund
in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
At National Level:
31
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national level
should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis
Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that the
National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of
Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management
Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as
the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help
in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF should
be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that the NEC
meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all programs
related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster Management
Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In accordance with
section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek advice from the
Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster management and
having practical experience of disaster management at the national, state or district
level on various aspects of disaster management. In addition, subject specific Sub-
Committees may be constituted to look into the different aspects of disaster
management in respect of the specific disasters, helping preparation of action plan
and monitoring of gaps in implementation.
32
If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the
control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a
temporary control room set up in the open.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as bulldozers,
cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery), trucks, and
Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources that are
available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting the
necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves affected and
if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex problem
of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of heavy
equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room, desperately
asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able to respond
providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource to meet the
needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
33
A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the
disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get
overwhelmed.
Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief
activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief
District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.
The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and according
to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat, 2001, the
decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the hospital. Four
days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the hospital was made
functional with all the necessary equipment.
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.

Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to sleep
outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of tents and
other temporary sheds within a short time.
ELECTORNIC MEDIA
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the local
administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them to
undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and skilled
personnel.
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the medical
care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or health
centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share with the
district administration/response teams information about the most vulnerable
groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by deploying
volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

Aspects to be Description
considered in the Agencies and Departments
process Involved
4.Immediate Recovery
The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify what
is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the district. This
component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the recovery stage (see
the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending upon
the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary to
overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and activities
to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase of
immediate recovery.
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
Animal health
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief supplies
generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide temporary wages
while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their long-term recovery.
Banking operations
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
5.Long-term Recovery
Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the long-
term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some activities
to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided by schemes
under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised sector
through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and Dairying
Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy
units;schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.
- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) Plan.
6.Holistic Recovery Process
The District Disaster Management Authority of Kurnool should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to better
utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be noted that
external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or may not be
completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the Disaster
Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process and has to
ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and constant
monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do not
get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is necessary to
define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal as per the
situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should be
incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected community
in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring sustainable
development of the community and the district as a whole.

District Disaster Management Plan of Guntur District
Prepare Respond
Rebuild Recover
Cyclic Graph
India in general is one of the most hazard prone countries in the world. 60% of the country is prone
to earthquakes of moderate to high intensity, 40 million hectares is prone to floods, 5,700 km long
coast is prone to cyclones and tsunamis and the whole of Himalayas are prone to landslides. The state
of Andra Pradesh in particular is one of the multi-hazard prone districts in India. As a result, it was
important to develop a plan that improves district’s response to disasters while improving its ability
to mitigate the disaster risks and increasing community’s resilience by implementing the preparedness
plan.
It was deemed important to put a plan in place for dealing with disasters in an organized way with all
the stakeholders well-aware of their role in responding and preparing for disasters, as the district is
responsible for responding to disasters through its Incident Response Team in the disaster site, while
the State and the Centre is responsible for providing extended support, guidance, external resources
or additional help as required in case of any major disasters and upon the request of support from the
district.
The vision of District Disaster Management Plan is to enable disaster resilient development in Guntur
district and continuity of services essential for life and dignity of citizens during disaster and non-
disaster situations.
• Identify areas in the district that are prone to natural and manmade disasters;
• Understand the existing vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms of the community
by conducting panchayat level assessment exercise;
• Identify the measures that ought to be taken by the district administration for
prevention and mitigation of disasters;
• Build awareness among different stakeholders both at the administrative as well
as the community level by directly engaging them in the process of district disaster
management planning;
• Identify various existing development schemes that could be implemented for
mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in development;
• Specify key areas for improving disaster resilience by awareness, training and
capacity-building of the stakeholders;
• Highlight preparedness measures required to be undertaken by the district
administration so as to be able to better respond to any threatening disaster
situation;
• Prepare the response plan for quick and effective response; and
• Establish the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery plan in order to restore
the vital life support systems to minimum operating standards at a first moment
and work towards rehabilitating them to at least the original standards.
1.2. Approach:
The aim of the plan is to establish necessary systems, structures, programs, resources,
capabilities and guiding principles for reducing disaster risks and preparing for and responding
to disasters and threats of disasters in respective district, in order to save lives and property,
avoid disruption of economic activity and damage to environment and to ensure the
continuity and sustainability of development.
The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach with emphasis
on prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that Disaster Management receives
the highest priority at all levels in the district. It has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of
national and state level, from reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach
is aimed to conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and
property. For efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the Plan has been
organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Normal Befor
Time Disaster
After During
Disaster Disaster
Disaster Cycle
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation1, leading to prevention2 & risk
reduction3. Before disaster stage: Activities include preparedness to face likely disasters,
dissemination of early warnings. During disaster stage: Activities include quick response,
relief, mobilization of search &rescue, damage assessment. After disaster stage: Activities
include recovery & rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.
1.3. Methodology
District disaster management planning has often been criticized for being comprised of
general guidelines rather than actionable plans. It has also been criticized to be incomplete in
its approach for either non-involvement of communities (the victims of disasters) or
completing mere formality. Therefore, with the aim to overcome this scenario, the District
Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) of Guntur in partnership with UNDP and AIDMI has
worked to make this plan more inclusive. The term inclusive points to a wider community
outreach, a greater ownership by district’s administrative officers and an institution-based
focus to address safety issues.
1
The lessening or minimizing of the adverse impacts of a hazardous event - UNISDR
2
Activities and measures to avoid existing and new disaster risks - UNISDR
3
aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, all of which
contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to the achievement of sustainable development -
UNISDR
In view of this, the process was divided in two phases. The first phase was mainly comprised
of consultations with various stakeholders such as line departments, Block Development
Officers (BDOs), members of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI), and vulnerable communities in
order to collect the necessary information and data and understand the particularities and
matters related to risk reduction in the district. It was also comprised of meetings between
AIDMI and the DDMA to discuss and improve the framework of the DDMP.
In consonance with the approach of making the plan inclusive, during the second phase two
major key government institutions were covered in depth to address safety issues. Once all
these activities had been undertaken on the field, the plan was prepared based on its
outcomes and by consulting the Disaster Management Act (DMA), 2005, the DDMP model
framework by NDMA and the directions provided by UNDP Andra Pradesh.

The process is not necessarily successful if flaws are not found, but rather if the appropriate
measures are undertaken in face of the necessary improvements. In view of this, the role and
responsibilities of the DDMA are:
11
•Monitor the functioning and adequacy of the resources present in the district every six months
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the respective nodal officers
*
•Based on the analysis, the DDMA has to procure/purchase/borrow resources from the concerned
authorities and replace the dilapidated and non-functioning resources using the developmental
* funds
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the respective nodal officers
•Monitor that all the officers of the frontline departments are trained as per
* guidelines/requirements
•Monitor that all mitigation, preparedness and response measures are properly
implemented within the district
•Identify and ensure implementation of disaster risk reduction into developmental
projects and schemes. Additionally, all heads of departments at the district level must
* identify suitable and relevant schemes (centrally-sponsored or state-funded) which can
be used for and/or linked with disaster management

When it comes to the external changes, the plan has to be updated once every year and
preferably within the first month of the new financial year in order to incorporate:
Every time that the DDMP is reviewed and updated, it has to be uploaded on the website of the
Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) and the updated version should
distinctly mention the major changes and newly added components so that any block or district
official, community-based organisation, NDMA, can easily study the plan etc. Additionally, the
updated DDMP has to be circulated to all stakeholder departments, agencies and organizations.
1.6.1.2. Testing
Two are the most important mechanisms for testing the plan, viz. emergency management
exercises and mock-drills, which are explained in the next sub-topics.

NDMA, Training Manual - How to conduct Emergency Management Exercise (EMEx), September 2015

1. The policy-level decision of the state/city approving the organization of the EMEx is
taken in this phase and it represents the commitment to hold the exercise.
2. Identification of the types of training tracks to be held in the EMEx and their number.
3. Definition of the financial plan and budget of the EMEx and state commitment of
financial resources towards organizing it.
4. Selection of the city/venue for holding of the EMEx.
5. Identification and selection of key stakeholders required to conduct the EMEx, as well
as management of the logistics/operations required and monitoring arrangements.
6. Formation of a state-level committee to look after the important decisions of EMEx.
7. Identification of participants to attend the EMEx.
8. Follow-up phase, which includes documentation (e.g. after action and evaluation
reports), link to way ahead.
Besides that, regular monitoring is strongly recommended in order to ensure that the
preparation is on track.
b) Mock-drill
The nodal authority for the task of implementation of the DDMP, whether during or after
disasters, is the DDMA. In this regard, mock-drill exercises are required in order to verify the
level of preparedness and improve the coordination during emergencies.
Mock-drills help in evaluating response and improving coordination within the administration,
with various departments, non-government agencies, other stakeholders and communities.
They help in identifying the extent to which the DDMP is effective and support the revision of
the same, if required. These drills enhance the ability to respond faster, better and in an
organized manner during the response and recovery phase. In sum, mock-drills are required
for the following reasons:
- Make the plan usable;
- Improve the know-how of practices to be followed while dealing with disasters;
- Get communities prepared to deal more appropriately during disasters;
- Build the confidence of communities in the administration and respondents; and
- Make the plan more practicable by upgrading it as per the identified needs and gaps.
After every exercise of mock-drill, an evaluation report has to be elaborated. It should include
findings, recommendations, and a rank the identified findings according to the categories
described below. The format for the evaluation report is given right after.
- Observation: finding has little direct impact on emergency response or restoration, but
should be considered for improving the emergency response;
- Gap: finding has some measurable impact on timeliness of restoration or effectiveness of
emergency response;
- Significant Gap: finding has significant impact on timeliness of restoration or effectiveness
of emergency response with significant potential to impact public safety.

2.5. Departmental Capacity building (SWOT analysis) Findings of Line Departments
Assessment from one-to-one Consultations
This section includes an assessment of both vulnerabilities and capacities within the line
departments. As part of the process, a number of consultations were held with several line
departments on one-to-one basis. The exercise revealed the existing scenario in which these line
departments are functioning, the challenges they face and capabilities available when it comes
to disaster management and related matters.
In the following sub-sections, a matrix provides an overview of the current situation of
each line department, as it summarizes the main strengths and areas of improvement. Right after,
a table was prepared to provide an explanation of these elements, as well as of other relevant
factors. Depending on the line department, some sub-topics were also added like suggestions for
further action and information about past disasters. The line departments consulted in Guntur
are:
• Agriculture Department
• Education Department
• Fire Department
• Water Resource Department
• Public Health Engineering Department
• Building Construction Department (PWD)
• Road Construction Department
• Social Welfare Department- ICDS
• Animal Husbandry Department
• District Rural Development Agency (DRDA)
• Food Corporation Limited
• Municipal Corporation (Town)
• Water Ways Department
2.5.1. General role and linkages of department in district disaster management plan
Sr. no Department Role of Department
1. Agriculture Agriculture Department always sustains losses/damage when
Department floods and cyclone occur in the State. The quantum of losses is
proportional to the intensity, time and duration of the hazard. It is
difficult to prevent such losses but remedial measures can be
taken to save the crops and if this is not possible to go in for
alternative measures suitable for the area and type of soil.
2. Revenue The Revenue Department is the nodal department for coordination,
Department management of a cyclone event as it has a network of officials up to
village level, and officers of the department have magisterial powers.
The department is assisted by the concerned line Departments/agencies
to fulfill the responsibilities assigned. Pre, during and post action plans in
coordination with the line departments, conducting relief, rescue and
rehabilitation is the main activity
3. Education Schools and schoolchildren are the most affected by disasters and a well
Department thought out plan should be in place to ensure work smoothly to reduce
this vulnerability and to play an important role in the community in
responding to disasters.
20
4. Police The Police Department is one of the key Government
Department departments. Both in the normal times when no disasters occur
and in times of disasters, this department is the department that
first responds and assist in evacuation process and in maintaining
law and order in and around shelters.
5. Transport Districts will work out strategy and priority of departments that
Department should be provided power continuously before during and after
the event. The order of the departments is
communication/transmission stations, water works, hospitals,
relief camps, shelters, railways and important road points.
6. Fire Department The Department is capable of rendering life-saving service to the
people involved in disasters both natural and man-made.
7. Bharat Sanchar Establish radio Communications with state control room, district control
Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) room and departmental offices within the district. All personnel required
for Disaster Management should work under the overall supervision and
guidance of District Collector.
8. Information & Department of information & public relations is an important link
public relations between the media and people/ Government during normal times.
department During natural calamities, their role is as equally important as with
the other key departments.
9. Horticulture Planting trees is an easy and effective way to beautify our
Department property, provide shade in summer and wind protection in winter.
Tree is such a visible part of the landscape care must be taken to
ensure proper growth conditions are maintained. A tree is far
more difficult and expensive to replace, once mature in the
landscape, than most shrubs.
10. Municipal and The Housing & Urban Development Department is the nodal
urban Department for ensuring proper and planned growth of cities and
development towns with adequate infrastructure and basic amenities. The
continuous exodus of rural population to urban areas has
contributed to the exponential growth resulting in severe strain on
the existing infrastructure and subsequent demand for additional
provisions. To keep pace with the growing demands of the urban
area, the Department has been taking effective and adequate
steps for efficient management & delivery of basic urban services
like provision of Safe Drinking Water, Sanitation, Roads, Solid
Waste Management, and Housing etc.
11. Water Resource This department plays vital role in Hydrological assessment of
Department availability of water in the river basins including water allocation
to the Irrigation and other purposes duly assessing the availability
in the basin. Construction of new projects to create irrigation
potential for economic development. Improve water
management, efficiency by integrated and coordinated, and
implementation of operation and maintenance plans for existing
Irrigation projects. Flood management, Restoration, and
maintenance of flood banks.
12. Public Health Natural unforeseen calamities, i.e. disaster like drought, cyclonic
Engineering storm and flood are the common occurrences in the State every
Department year. These kinds of disaster have always-wider impact on human
life, livestock, property and assets created by individual and state.
21
Aftermath the disaster among the basic needs for survival, safe
drinking water and emergency sanitation always figures on top of
the priority list along with food and shelter.
As Public Health Engineering Department/Directorate is mandated
for supply of safe drinking water to the people of the State, during
disaster it requires delivery of services on safe drinking water
supply on war footing basis.
13. Women & Child Women & Child Development Department is having a well-
Development developed network for providing its services to the beneficiaries.
Department However, during natural calamity like flood, cyclone, earthquake
and disease epidemic the institutional network get disrupted.
Awareness and capacity building needs to be provided on subjects
related to degree and intensity of disaster (limited to low and
medium magnitude). In order to provide effective relief services,
assistance from Voluntary agencies, H&FW, Panchayat Raj, Rural
Development, Police etc. is required.
14. Building As this Department is dealing with, and responsible for
Construction construction work and its day to
Department (PWD) day maintenance for road, bridge, C.D. Works along with all public
Department building works under its
control, all the field officials starting for Executive Engineers,
Assistant Engineer and Junior
Engineers are warned for such identification of structures
accordingly
15. Rural Water Natural disasters often put a vast majority of the population at
Supply & health risk, claim human lives, and devastate household property
Sanitation and public infrastructure. Almost all of the States of India are
Department vulnerable to at least some of the natural calamities, including
cyclone, flood, tsunami, drought, earthquake etc. Climate change
is also now exacerbating disasters, both in terms of numbers and
complexity. Almost all types of natural disasters can lead to
situations of large scale displacement of communities whose
health is at risk due to disruption of basic services like drinking
water sanitation, health care, food supply etc.
Water supply and sanitation in particular, often become the most
crucial needs of the disaster-affected population, especially
women and children. The onslaught of natural disasters may lead
to outbreak of epidemics like cholera, diarrheal diseases, dengue,
malaria, typhoid etc. It is possible to mitigate, if not prevent, the
adverse impact of disasters, by planned disaster risk reduction
interventions on water supply, sanitation and hygiene by
Government and other stakeholders.
16. Panchayat Raj In general, if the local bodies like Panchayats are not consulted for
Department preparedness planning, relief and rehabilitation work, it leads to
absence of transparency and accountability in the mitigation
efforts. The whole approach towards rehabilitation work may end
up being „top down‟ in nature. As the relief and restoration
efforts involve investment of hundreds and thousands of cores
rupees, there should be satisfaction of having utilized them
properly and efficiently. Activities like distributing immediate relief
22
in the form of money, food grains, medical care, cloths, tents,
vessels drinking water and other necessities, activities of
restoration, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts of damaged
villages and towns can be implemented better with the
involvement of local bodies.

Guntur Coast is located on the along the southeast coast of India (also known as the Coromandel Coast).
Krishna merges into Bay of Bengal at the coastal area of Guntur district. The braided stream channels,
broad floodplain, and extensive sandbars suggest that this part of the Krishna River flows through
relatively flat terrain and carries substantial amounts of sediment, especially during the monsoon
season. Surya Lanka near Bapatla Bobbara Lanka in Repalle is tourist beaches in Guntur coastline.
Paddy, tobacco, cotton, pulses and chilis are the main agricultural products cultivated in the district.

The tail-end areas of canals and upland areas in the district are facing chronic water shortage
problems, where the philtres or granite gneisses form the principal aquifers. Thethick
weathered mantle and deeply weathered and fractured zones occurring along certain
lineaments, its intersections and buried pediments, may be tapped through proper ground
water structures to draw copious supplies of ground water.
Conjunctive use of surface water and ground water should be followed not only to meet the
requirements of tail-end areas but also to reduce the water logging and salinity problems.
The exploratory drilling programmes in the select places of canal commands will enlighten the
conjunctive utilization of surface and ground water. In these areas ground water loss will
reduce the water logging conditions and more areas may be brought under agriculture.
It is inferred from the exploration data, that most of the potential zones were encountered
within the depth range of 30-150 m and beyond this depth, potential fractures although occur,
but rare.
Proper measures have to be taken in selecting the ground water abstraction structures, in the
implementation of water management practices and to check the aerial distribution of salinity.
The ground water development in the district can be taken up as per the perspective plan.
Studies are to be taken up to check the recurrence of fluorosis, especially in the Vinukonda,
Krosuru areas and remedial measures have to be implemented. In a fluoride endemic area, it is
not necessary that every water sources are contaminated. The good sources may be identified
and the local people can be educated to consume water supply only from such sources.
As per ground water resources estimated for the year 2008-09, all the mandals fall in safe
category with stage of development less than 70%.

Artificial recharge structures like contour bunding, check dams, percolation tanks and farm
ponds need to be constructed in the non-command areas and over-exploited villages and
corpus fund has to be created to maintain those structures.

2.2. Capacity Building
Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self or other
than the self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self, whereas, the skill to
operate a fire extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire extinguisher.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation and
disaster preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the institutions
as well as at the community level.
87
strategy and its upward linkages to the State and downward linkages to the communities. From
the district side, the officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its
functioning, its roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster Management
Plan, the involvement of local bodies in the plan preparation and implementation in
coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and
panchayat levels, the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities at Lo, L1,
L2 period in coordination with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and manpower. All
these orientations through well-structured programmes are specifically required
because of the whole exercise of disaster management still being relief centre with
states and villages.
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase
understanding of issues and in the light of the increased understanding and appreciation, to act
in a desired manner in a given situation. The response is not wooden but enlivened by the use
of intelligence if the situation happens to be at variance. It is a modulation which will be
required, in the context of disaster management, by the district level institutions, and
government departments, the district level agencies, stakeholders other than the state and its
agencies, and the people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward, are the
communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level functionaries, the District
administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are the constitutional bodies and have
well defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such, disaster
preparedness of a state is required to be measured in terms of community preparedness. But,
before preparing people, the state itself, its machinery, its concerned institution, it
functionaries at all level shall have to be prepared. That is, before the disaster preparedness is
initiated at the community level, the Gram Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional,
the District Disaster Management Authority, the District level Emergency Operation Centre, the
District Disaster Management Plan shall be ready; the State Disaster Management Authority,
the State Disaster Response Force, the Bihar Institute of Disaster Management and State level
Emergency Operation Centre all shall be ready to get engaged to support community
empowerment.

Disaster Response Plan
4
1.Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster
Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put in
place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory update
for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

10. Prepare detailed assessment report DEOC Within 24
hours
11. Withdrawal of declaration of disaster on DC As on
normalization of the situation. normalization
of the
situation
1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

stakeholders and keep updating all
about situation
13. Withdrawal of declaration of disaster on APSDMA/ DRDM As on
normalization of the situation. normalization

1.4. Level 3
L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of a
wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early warning
or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan means setting
in motion command, coordination, and management of the situation. The activities
described in the following standard operating procedures (SOPs) are to be initiated
immediately to ensure that loss and damage are minimized. One SOP is in the case
where early warning is available, the other when there is no early warning, thus the
activation of the response depends on the type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood
and cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency
Operation Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
9
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that
warning information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and
resources to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing
the disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as
telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State
Disaster Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is
submitted to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well
as for supply of food, drinking water, and other materials.
10) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels.

warning signals

D Section and DEOC Command and

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based on
the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the information
dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint District
Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the
early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the Village
Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural areas
13
and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early warning
communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses without
any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District Collector
from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers identified for
information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk Voice SMS
service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in their
panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
14
First assessment report need to be collected in a specified format (as in Appendix
J) to understand the scale and intensity of impact directly on the population. The
aspects assessed are limited and majorly looks to assess the socio-economic impact
of the disaster. The FAR for the areas belonging to respective Lot Mandal’s will be
collected and submitted to Tehsildars. Tehsildars will in-turn compile the
information and submit it to the District Collector and DDMA.
District Crisis Management Group (CMG) meeting is the first meeting chaired by the
Responsible Officer (District Collector) of the Incident Response Team which
involves participation of all key members of IRT that is inclusive of ESF Primary
Stakeholders (as per the type of disaster discussed below), MPDO and Tehsildars.
This meeting may be held at the backdrop of FAR (as in 8.2) outputs and decisions
taken based on this. The RO shall appoint the personnel such as Incident Commander
and other functionaries that will be part of Incident Response Team. The DC at this
point shall order conducting of ‘Rapid Damage & Needs assessment’ by the team
that forms part of this ESF.
At the discretion of DC, community warnings can also be made by mobilizing health
department’s manpower in relevant areas through the Civil Surgeon (CS). In
situations where the risk gets abated, the warning has to be recalled. For this,
another communication must be made by the DC following the same process of
information dissemination describe above.
3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at low
cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as the
DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the previous
set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing an
important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
15
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.
16
4.District Emergency Operation Centre
The role of the District Emergency Operation Centre during an emergency/disaster
response can be summarized in the activities detailed in the table below.
17
4.2. Scope of work of the District Control Room
Time Activities
Frame
Ensure that all warning and communication systems, instructions are in
working condition;
Receive information on a routine and regular basis from the departments
on the vulnerability of the various Gram panchayats and Villages to
disaster

departments and other departments, as per as the formats. Based on
these reports, the DEOC will forward the Preparedness Measures details
on behalf of the Collector to the State Control Room, Relief
Commissioner
Upgrade and update District Control Room system according to changing
scenarios in the district update data bank and maintain an inventory of
resources.
Update all information on the SDRN / IDRN Inform State Control Room,
Relief Commissioner of any changes, including updating of data bank and
annexure.
Monitor preparedness measures including simulation exercises
undertaken by various departments.
Ensure proper dissemination of information about District Control Room
System at the district level, local level and disaster prone areas.
Identify appropriate NGOs/Private Sector Organizations, which can be
assigned the task of community level preparedness.
Normal Time
18
District level training of officials and NGOs in emergency response Men
and material management in emergencies with proper inventorization.
Emergency communication
In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Guntur
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of the
measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority towards
disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational Disaster
Emergency Operation Centre.

items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important to
bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and sometimes
the security environment.

1.Incident Response System
The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the
phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up
approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers
prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required
resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary
agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback
to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.
The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district
administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of
this, the IRS for Guntur was agreed during the consultations performed on field and
officials were appointed for each position.
In order to easily understand the IRS of Guntur, following is the model IRS structure
as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management Authority. In
sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander, Information &
Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff encompasses
three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which being comprised
of various groups and units.
37
1.1. Guntur Incident Response System
The IRS of Guntur is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective officials in the
district holding each of them.
38
1.2. Command staff – major responsibilities
The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of the
incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as
follow:
Incident Commander
The Incident Commander is the individual responsible for the management of all
incident operations of the incident site.
- Determine incident objectives and strategies based on the available
information and resources;
- Establish immediate priorities, including search and rescue, and relief
distribution strategies;
- Assess requirements for maintenance of law and order, traffic etc. if any at
the incident site, and make arrangements with help of the local police;
- Brief higher authorities about the situation and request for additional
resources, if required;
- Establish appropriate IRS organisation with Sections, Branches, Divisions and/or
Units based on the span of control and scale of the incident;
- Establish Incident Command Post at a suitable place. In case of total
destruction of buildings, tents or temporary shelters may be used as Incident
Command Post or even a mobile van with complete communication equipment.
If appropriate or enough space is not available, other Sections can function
from a different convenient location, as long as there is a proper, fail-safe
contact with the ICP in order to provide quick assistance;
- Approve and authorise the implementation of an Incident Action Plan and
ensure that it is regularly developed and updated as per debriefing of IRS
members. It will be reviewed every 24 hours and circulated to all concerned;
- Ensure that all Sections or Units are working as per Incident Action Plan and
that team members are briefed on performance of various activities;
- Ensure that planning meetings are held at regular intervals. The meetings will
draw out an implementation strategy for effective incident response. The
decision to hold this meeting is solely the responsibility of the IC. Apart from
other members, ensure that PSC attend all briefing and debriefing meetings;
- Ensure that adequate safety measures for responders and affected
communities are in place;
- Ensure proper coordination between all Sections of the IRS, agencies working
in the response activities and make sure that all conflicts are resolved;
- Approve and ensure that the required additional resources are procured and
issued to the concerned Sections, Branches and Units etc. and are properly
utilised.
- If required, establish contact with PRIs, urban local bodies, community-based
organizations, NGOs etc. and seek their cooperation in achieving the objectives
39
of Incident Action Plan and enlist their support to act as local guides in assisting
the external rescue and relief teams;
The Information and Media Officer is responsible for developing and releasing
information about the incident to the news media, to incident personnel, and
to other appropriate agencies and organizations.
- prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others with the approval of the Incident Commander;
- monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be
useful for incident planning;
- coordinate with India Meteorological Department (IMD) to collect weather
information and disseminate it to all concerned;
- maintain record of various activities performed;
- ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
- Organise Incident Action Plan meetings as directed by the Incident Commander
or when required.
Reasons for the Incident Commander to designate an Information and Media
Officer:
- reduces the risk of multiple sources releasing information;
- need to alert, warn or instruct the public;
- ensure that Incident Commander effectiveness is not obstructed by media
demands.
Liaison Officer
The Liaison Officer is the point of contact to assist the first responders,
cooperating agencies and line departments. It may be designated depending
on the number of agencies involved and the spread of affected area.
- maintain a list of concerned line departments, agencies, community-based and
non-governmental organizations and their representatives at various locations;
- carry out liaison with all concerned agencies including National Disaster
Response Force and Armed Forces and line departments;
- monitor operations to identify current or potential inter-agency problems;
- participate in planning meetings and provide information on response by
participating agencies;
- keep the Incident Commander informed about arrivals of all the government
and non-government agencies and their resources;
- help in organising briefing sessions of all governmental and non-governmental
agencies with the Incident Commander.
Reasons to establish the Liaison Officer position at an incident:
40
- several agencies send, or plan to send, agency representatives to an incident
in support of their resources;
- the Incident Commander can no longer provide the time for individual
coordination with each agency representative;
- two or more jurisdictions may become involved in the incident and the incident
requires on-site liaison.
Safety Officer
The Safety Officer’s function is to develop and recommend measures for ensuring
safety of responders and to assess or anticipate hazardous and unsafe situations
and review it regularly.
- recommend measures for assuring safety of responders and to assess or
anticipate;
- hazardous and unsafe situations and review it regularly;
- ask for assistants and assign responsibilities as required;
- participate in planning meetings for preparation of IAP;

43
2.Severe Occurrences Response Coordination
Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food, medical
services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore, government
should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the response. For
instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was decided that the
police would take up the task of rescue operations and the revenue and panchayat
administration would concentrate on providing medical assistance and relief. In this
sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in advance is of fundamental
importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by involving
officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like Labour
Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self Government and
PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire Services and Civil
Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, as it is the nucleus of all disaster
management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA
and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists
keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the
SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State
needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,
SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the
various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be
constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more professional
human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation Fund
in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
44
At National Level:
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national level
should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis
Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that the
National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of
Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management
Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as
the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help
in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF should
be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that the NEC
meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all programs
related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster Management
Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In accordance with
section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek advice from the
Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster management and
having practical experience of disaster management at the national, state or district
level on various aspects of disaster management. In addition, subject specific Sub-
Committees may be constituted to look into the different aspects of disaster
management in respect of the specific disasters, helping preparation of action plan
and monitoring of gaps in implementation.
Control Room
Control rooms should start functioning in different places according to pre-
established infrastructure in the district and to the severity of the disaster. These
places may involve the fire brigade, the municipal corporation, police station, or
other places.
Satellite telephone should be operative and in place in the district and state control
rooms, and backed by the police wireless as well.
45
A wireless set should be installed in the district Collector’s office to communicate
with the police control room.
If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the
control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a
temporary control room set up in the open.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as bulldozers,
cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery), trucks, and
Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources that are
available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting the
necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves affected and
if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex problem
of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of heavy
equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
Rescue Teams
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room, desperately
asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able to respond
providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource to meet the
needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
46
Medical Services
A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the
disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get
overwhelmed.
Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief
activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief
District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.
The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and according
to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat, 2001, the
decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the hospital. Four
days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the hospital was made
functional with all the necessary equipment.
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.
Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to sleep
outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of tents and
other temporary sheds within a short time.
47
After the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, the Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB) deployed
220 engineers and skilled staff in the affected areas for restoration of the power
supply. By 5 February 2001, i.e., 10 days after the earthquake, 80 per cent of the
services were restored.
The water supply may also be restored in case it gets damaged. Measure to supply
water such as through tankers and repair of pipelines should be undertaken
immediately.
3.Media Management
The coordination between the District Administration and media has to be
maintained both during and after a disaster. During the response phase it is
especially important as it helps to ensure that communities and people in the district
are better aware about the situation and interventions being made by the
administration. The following will be performed by the Information and Media
Officer as per responsibilities described in the IRS section:
48
Organize visits to shelters, relief and various activity camps.
Organize briefing on daily basis towards the end of the day.
Facilitate media personnel in their interaction with other emergency functionaries,
if possible.
Prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others
with the approval of IC;
Jot down decisions taken and directions issued in case of sudden disasters when the
IMT has not been fully activated and hand it over to the PS on its activation for
incorporation in the IAP;
Ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
Monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be useful
for incident planning;
Organise IAP meetings as directed by the IC or when required;
Coordinate with IMD to collect weather information and disseminate it to all
concerned;
Maintain record of various activities performed and
Perform such other duties as assigned by IC.
4.Crowd Management
An event of Mass Gathering is generally characterized by huge number of people
accumulating in a very limited space in a short span of time. Such events, though
observed within a limited time, sometimes attract a crowd, many times the total
population of the city. Following are some critical crowd control issues:-
49
of urban services, facilities and infrastructures, referred to as one of the most
demanding challenges facing contemporary urban planners and managers. Some of the
crowd control strategies are listed below:-
1. Evaluate temple capacity, inclusive of all waiting areas considering reasonable
waiting time – compare with requirement
2. Shorten duration of religious procedures for faster turn-around
3. Carry out crowd congestion analysis – identify bottlenecks in crowd movement
4. Adequate space in waiting areas to reduce claustrophobia
5. Quick exits with proper and well-lit signages
6. Forced ventilation in waiting areas to prevent heating and air-quality
deterioration
7. Multiple queues for different types of visitors: elderly, women and children,
differently abled.
8. Crowd safety training to employees/staff and security personnel – implement
active and passive surveillance
9. Improve access to premises from outside – alter location of offerings shops,
decentralisation of markets and shops near the gathering.
One of the basic and fundamental principles for disaster planning is building worst-
case scenarios based on the previous history of the event and lessons learnt from
similar events elsewhere, and roll out the plan accordingly. A participatory approach
with the active involvement of various stakeholders, players including the local
representatives and the local community will go a long way in ensuring smooth
conduct of events of mass gathering.
5.Government-NGO Coordination
The role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) is crucial during all phases of
disaster management and such involvement is emphasized in the Disaster
Management Act, 2005. When it comes to disaster response, the District Disaster
Management Authority may invite NGOs to participate in the coordination and
follow-up meetings, in order to ensure that their work will be aligned with the
priority actions and that it will reach all affected people/areas. In general, the role
of NGOs and the coordination between government and NGOs is detailed below1.
1NDMA, National Disaster Management Guidelines - Role of NGOs in Disaster Management (Draft), February 2015.
Available at <http://www.ndma.gov.in/images/pdf/roleofngodraft.pdf>
50
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the local
administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them to
undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and skilled
personnel.
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the medical
care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or health
centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share with the
district administration/response teams information about the most vulnerable
groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by deploying
volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

63
3.Immediate Recovery
The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify what
is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the district. This
component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the recovery stage (see
the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending upon
the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary to
overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and activities
to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase of
immediate recovery.
64
Lifeline buildings are those necessary to keep the administrative machinery or any
emergency centres functioning during a disaster and despite the damages inflicted by
it. Hospitals, schools, Anganwadi centres, offices of line departments and district
administration are examples of critical lifeline buildings and that should be
retrofitted or reconstructed after throughout assessment.
Roads and bridges
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
65
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
Animal health
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
66
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief supplies
generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide temporary wages
while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their long-term recovery.
Banking operations
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
67
4.Long-term Recovery
Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the long-
term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
68
During this phase, families placed in temporary shelters due to damage or
destruction of their houses or erosion of their land has to be smoothly rehabilitated
through requisite infrastructure recovery interventions. Efforts shall be made to
rehabilitate these families to locations at least close to the original habitations to
keep them in proximity of pre-disaster communities and land.
Education
Schools have to be made operational in the shortest span through the post-disaster
period.
Wage employment
The focus on providing wage employment through MGNREGS should be continued
with greater vigour for the affected parts of the district so as to provide economic
recovery while original livelihoods such as agriculture outputs are restored to
normalcy.
Livelihoods
Work towards strengthening livelihoods to be more economically and
environmentally sustainable, as well as more resilient to future disasters. In this
long-term recovery effort, focus is on livelihoods diversification, creation of
alternative income generating activities, providing financial services such as loans
and insurance, and strengthening forward linkages with markets for existing and new
livelihoods.
Credit
This shall be done by formation of self-help groups (SHGs) for affected communities
so as to support in buying or rebuilding assets such as domestic animals, farm
equipments, craft equipments and others by providing microcredit. This is critical
to reduce the dependency of the population in the district administration for
support.
Micro insurance
Increase of the coverage of micro insurance in order to include more farmers and
livestock owners and their productive lands/livestock to ensure risk transfer benefits
in case of damages from any future disasters.
Disaster resilient livelihoods
Agriculture is the mainstay of the district while it is one of those vulnerable to
natural hazards. Alternative livelihoods such as crafts, sericulture and plantation of
Khus (Vetiver) for its oil production with a processing industry may be sought by the
district.
Agronomic rehabilitation
69
The district administration has to ensure that soil testing labs research and
formulate necessary steps required for agronomic rehabilitation and may coordinate
with NGOs working in this field to channelize their support. Additionally, it is
paramount to suggest cropping patterns, suitable compositions of fertilizers,
pesticide, etc, depending upon the changes in soil due to the disaster and develop
a model of rehabilitation of the same.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some activities
to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided by schemes
under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised sector
through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and Dairying
Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy
units;schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.
- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) Plan.
70
5.Holistic Recovery Process
The District Disaster Management Authority of Guntur should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to better
utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be noted that
external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or may not be
completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the Disaster
Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process and has to
ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and constant
monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do not
get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is necessary to
define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal as per the
situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should be
incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected community
in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring sustainable
development of the community and the district as a whole.

Cyclic Graph
India in general is one of the most hazard prone countries in the world. 60% of the country is prone to
earthquakes of moderate to high intensity, 40 million hectares is prone to floods, 5,700 km long coast is
prone to cyclones and tsunamis and the whole of Himalayas are prone to landslides. The state of Andhra
Pradesh in particular is one of the multi-hazard prone districts in India. As a result, it was important to
develop a plan that improves district’s response to disasters while improving its ability to mitigate the
disaster risks and increasing community’s resilience by implementing the preparedness plan.
It was deemed important to put a plan in place for dealing with disasters in an organized way with all
the stakeholders well-aware of their role in responding and preparing for disasters, as the district is
responsible for responding to disasters through its Incident Response Team in the disaster site, while the
State and the Centre is responsible for providing extended support, guidance, external resources or
additional help as required in case of any major disasters and upon the request of support from the
district.
The vision of District Disaster Management Plan is to enable disaster resilient development in Nellore
district and continuity of services essential for life and dignity of citizens during disaster and non-disaster
situations.
• Identify areas in the district that are prone to natural and manmade disasters;
• Understand the existing vulnerabilities and coping mechanisms of the community by
conducting panchayat level assessment exercise;
• Identify the measures that ought to be taken by the district administration for
prevention and mitigation of disasters;
• Build awareness among different stakeholders both at the administrative as well as
the community level by directly engaging them in the process of district disaster
management planning;
• Identify various existing development schemes that could be implemented for
mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in development;
• Specify key areas for improving disaster resilience by awareness, training and
capacity-building of the stakeholders;
• Highlight preparedness measures required to be undertaken by the district
administration so as to be able to better respond to any threatening disaster
situation;
• Prepare the response plan for quick and effective response; and
• Establish the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery plan in order to restore the
vital life support systems to minimum operating standards at a first moment and work
towards rehabilitating them to at least the original standards.
1.2. Approach:
The aim of the plan is to establish necessary systems, structures, programs, resources, capabilities
and guiding principles for reducing disaster risks and preparing for and responding to disasters
and threats of disasters in respective district, in order to save lives and property, avoid
disruption of economic activity and damage to environment and to ensure the continuity and
sustainability of development.
The district disaster management plan has a holistic and integrated approach with emphasis on
prevention, mitigation and preparedness by ensuring that Disaster Management receives the
highest priority at all levels in the district. It has a paradigm shift, similar to the lines of national
and state level, from reactive and relief centric approach to disasters. The approach is aimed
to conserve developmental gains and also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and property. For
efficient execution of the District Disaster Management Plan, the Plan has been organized as
per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.
Normal Befor
Time Disaster
After During
Disaster Disaster
Disaster Cycle
Non disaster stage: Activities include disaster mitigation1, leading to prevention2 & risk
reduction3. Before disaster stage: Activities include preparedness to face likely disasters,
dissemination of early warnings. During disaster stage: Activities include quick response, relief,
mobilization of search &rescue, damage assessment. After disaster stage: Activities include
recovery & rehabilitation programs in disaster affected areas.
1.3. Methodology
District disaster management planning has often been criticized for being comprised of general
guidelines rather than actionable plans. It has also been criticized to be incomplete in its
approach for either non-involvement of communities (the victims of disasters) or completing mere
formality. Therefore, with the aim to overcome this scenario, the District Disaster Management
Authority (DDMA) of Nellore in partnership with AIDMI has worked to make this plan more
inclusive. The term inclusive points to a wider community outreach, a greater ownership by
district’s administrative officers and an institution-based focus to address safety issues.
In view of this, the process was divided in two phases. The first phase was mainly comprised of
consultations with various stakeholders such as line departments, MP Block Development Officers
(MPDOs), members of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI), and vulnerable communities in order to
collect the necessary information and data and understand the particularities and matters
related to risk reduction in the district. It was also comprised of meetings between AIDMI and
the DDMA to discuss and improve the framework of the DDMP.

The process is not necessarily successful if flaws are not found, but rather if the appropriate
measures are undertaken in face of the necessary improvements. In view of this, the role and
responsibilities of the DDMA are:
•Monitor the functioning and adequacy of the resources present in the district every
six months
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the
* respective nodal officers
•Ensure that all the departmental plans are operational and checked by the
respective nodal officers
•Monitor that all the officers of the frontline departments are trained as per
* guidelines/requirements
• Monitor that all mitigation, preparedness and response measures are properly
implemented within the district
• Identify and ensure implementation of disaster risk reduction into developmental projects
and schemes. Additionally, all heads of departments at the district level must identify
* suitable and relevant schemes (centrally-sponsored or state-funded) which can be used for
and/or linked with disaster management
10
1.6.1.1. Review and update
The reasons for the review and further update of the DDMP can be categorized in two major
groups: a) domestic changes, i.e. changes within the district itself, whether related to operational
activities, geo-characteristics of the environment, physical resources or knowledge enhancement;
b) external changes, i.e. those related to changes in regulatory requirements.

When it comes to the external changes, the plan has to be updated once every year and preferably
within the first month of the new financial year in order to incorporate:

Change of directions by the technology by the Opening up of any relevant
state or any updates to the NDMA/APSDMA related to state/national institution or
State Disaster Management communication networks, mechanism for training; etc
Plan knowledge management
systems, early warning, etc
Every time that the DDMP is reviewed and updated, it has to be uploaded on the website of the
Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) and the updated version should
distinctly mention the major changes and newly added components so that any block or district
official, community-based organisation, NDMA, can easily study the plan etc. Additionally, the
updated DDMP has to be circulated to all stakeholder departments, agencies and organizations.
11
1.6.1.2. Evaluation of the Plan
Two are the most important mechanisms for evaluation the plan, viz. emergency management
exercises and mock-drills, which are explained in the next sub-topics.
b) Mock-drill
The nodal authority for the task of implementation of the DDMP, whether during or after
disasters, is the DDMA. In this regard, mock-drill exercises are required in order to verify the
level of preparedness and improve the coordination during emergencies.
Mock-drills help in evaluating response and improving coordination within the administration,
with various departments, non-government agencies, other stakeholders and communities. They
help in identifying the extent to which the DDMP is effective and support the revision of the same,
if required. These drills enhance the ability to respond faster, better and in an organized manner
during the response and recovery phase. In sum, mock-drills are required for the following
reasons:
- Make the plan usable;
- Improve the know-how of practices to be followed while dealing with disasters;
- Get communities prepared to deal more appropriately during disasters;
- Build the confidence of communities in the administration and respondents; and
4NDMA, Training Manual - How to conduct Emergency Management Exercise (EMEx), September 2015
12
- Make the plan more practicable by upgrading it as per the identified needs and gaps.
After every exercise of mock-drill, an evaluation report has to be elaborated. It should include
findings, recommendations, and a rank the identified findings according to the categories described
below. The format for the evaluation report is given right after.
- Observation: finding has little direct impact on emergency response or restoration, but
should be considered for improving the emergency response;
- Gap: finding has some measurable impact on timeliness of restoration or effectiveness of
emergency response;
- Significant Gap: finding has significant impact on timeliness of restoration or effectiveness
of emergency response with significant potential to impact public safety.

2.5. Departmental Capacity building (SWOT analysis) Findings of Line Departments
Assessment from one-to-one Consultations
This section includes an assessment of both vulnerabilities and capacities within the line departments.
As part of the process, a number of consultations were held with several line departments on one-
to-one basis. The exercise revealed the existing scenario in which these line departments are
functioning, the challenges they face and capabilities available when it comes to disaster
management and related matters.
In the following sub-sections, a matrix provides an overview of the current situation of each
line department, as it summarizes the main strengths and areas of improvement. Right after, a table
was prepared to provide an explanation of these elements, as well as of other relevant factors.
Depending on the line department, some sub-topics were also added like suggestions for further
action and information about past disasters.

Floods
10
1.4.1. Hazard: Flood
Floods by nature depend on several factors; one being incessant rains, cyclonic rains in a
short period of time crippling natural drainage. However, other factors such as nature of the
collecting basin, nature of the streams, type of soil, natural and man-made vegetation,
amount of rainfall etc. determine type and extent of floods. The inundation patterns and
potential areas that would be inundated due to river outflow and heavy rain is fairly certain;
and the concerned departments usually have the information. However, inundation due to
storm surges and cyclonic landfall is unpredictable and depends on the wind direction.
Floods in the district caused widespread loss to human lives, livestock, damaged homes and
caused crop destruction over the decades. Infrastructure damage due floods is well recorded.
As well as damages to roads, irrigation tanks breached.

Heatwave
33
1.4.3. Hazard: Heatwaves
(The above image shows population distribution in heat wave zones for Nellore district. )
34
Heat wave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, more than the normal
maximum temperature that occurs during the pre-monsoon (April to June) summer
season. Heat -waves typically occur between March to June, and in some rare cases
even extend till July. Heat waves are more frequent over the Indo-Gangetic plains of
India. On an average, 5-6 heat wave events occur every year over the northern parts of
the country. The most notable amongst the recent ones are Hyderabad (Andhra
Pradesh) 46 °C.
The extreme temperatures combined with high humidity and resultant atmospheric
conditions adversely affect people living in these regions leading to physiological
stress, sometimes even death. This unusual and uncomfortable hot weather can impact
human and animal health and also cause major disruption in community infrastructure
such as power supply, public transport and other essential services. Heat wave is also
called a “silent disaster” as it develops slowly and kills and injures humans and animals
nationwide. Higher daily peak temperatures of longer duration and more intense heat
waves are becoming increasingly frequent globally due to climate change. India too is
feeling the impact of climate change in terms of increased instances of heat wave with
each passing year.

Drought
39
1.4.4. Hazard: Drought
Revenue (Relief) Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh defines drought as a
condition arising out of scarce rainfall. Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of
climate. It occurs in virtually all climatic zones, but its characteristics vary
significantly from one region to another. Drought is a temporary aberration; it
differs from aridity, which is restricted to low rainfall regions and is a permanent
feature of climate.

Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
47
2. Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
Disaster risk reduction is aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and
managing residual risk, all of which contribute to strengthening resilience and therefore to
the achievement of sustainable development. Disaster risk reduction strategies and policies
define goals and objectives across different timescales and with concrete targets, indicators
and time frames. In line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030,
these should be aimed at preventing the creation of disaster risk, the reduction of existing
risk and the strengthening of economic, social, health and environmental resilience.

2.3. Capacity Building
Capability Building is skill development. Skill development is either in relation to self
or other than the self. For example, swimming is a skill in relation to the self,
whereas, the skill to operate a fire extinguisher is a skill in relation to the fire
extinguisher.
As these institutions are also slated to play important roles in disaster mitigation
and disaster preparedness exercises, their capacity has also to be built in:
i. Disaster wise mitigation measures and their repair and maintenance
ii. Disaster wise preparedness measures and their applications within the
institutions as well as at the community level.
54
Institutional Capacity Building
The District Administration, having support from DDMA, shall work out its own district
level Disaster Management Plan, its mitigation and preparedness need, the plan
implementation strategy and its upward linkages to the State and downward linkages
to the communities. From the district side, the officers shall be engaged in:
I. The organization and assisting of District Disaster Management Authority, its
functioning, its roles and responsibilities, the making of District Disaster
Management Plan, the involvement of local bodies in the plan preparation and
implementation in coordination with states and villages.
II. The formation and running of Emergency Operation Centres at the district and
panchayat levels, the modalities of its functioning, its roles and responsibilities
at Lo, L1, L2 period in coordination with states and villages.
III. The upkeep of equipment and materials and management of stores and
manpower. All these orientations through well-structured programmes are
specifically required because of the whole exercise of disaster management
still being relief centre with states and villages.
Capacity development is a resultant output of a set of inputs provided to increase
understanding of issues and in the light of the increased understanding and
appreciation, to act in a desired manner in a given situation. The response is not
wooden but enlivened by the use of intelligence if the situation happens to be at
variance. It is a modulation which will be required, in the context of disaster
management, by the district level institutions, and government departments, the
district level agencies, stakeholders other than the state and its agencies, and the
people in the unit of a community.
Capacity Building: Other Stakeholders
Stakeholders in disaster management other than the state, from ground level upward,
are the communities, PRIs, the local bodies, CBO, s & NGOs, the block level
functionaries, the District administration, the corporate bodies. Of these the PRIs are
the constitutional bodies and have well defined roles to play in disaster management.
Communities are the victims as well as first respondents of any disaster. As such,
disaster preparedness of a state is required to be measured in terms of community
preparedness. But, before preparing people, the state itself, its machinery, its
concerned institution, it functionaries at all level shall have to be prepared. That is,
before the disaster preparedness is initiated at the community level, the Gram
Panchayat bhawans shall be in place and functional, the District Disaster Management
Authority, the District level Emergency Operation Centre, the District Disaster
Management Plan shall be ready; the State Disaster Management Authority, the State
55
Disaster Response Force and State level Emergency Operation Centre all shall be
ready to get engaged to support community empowerment.
Based on the SWOT analysis and general understanding following are capacity building
steps needs to be conducated;
56
the drought prone areas
Promoting social forestry in the area
Protecting and channelizing the source of water like
Drought steams, river in the locality.
Economizing water consumption.
Selection of crops suitable for drip irrigation.
Arrangements for alternative source of drinking water.
To keep the roof of their hutments firmly tied.
To remain alert for warning.
To orient their family members about high speed wind
and what they are expected to do.
High Velocity Wind Avoid keeping anything heavy or sharp on roofs of
hutments.
Identify an alternative and safe place to take refuge in
case of emergencies.

1.Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster
Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put in
place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory update
for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

situation
1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of a
wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2.Activation of Response
The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early warning
or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan means setting
in motion command, coordination, and management of the situation. The activities
described in the following standard operating procedures (SOPs) are to be initiated
immediately to ensure that loss and damage are minimized. One SOP is in the case
where early warning is available, the other when there is no early warning, thus the
activation of the response depends on the type of the hazard and its impact.
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood
and cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency
Operation Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that
warning information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and
resources to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

2.2. Scenario 2 – Without Early Warning
In disaster situations where no early warning signals are available, the primary
objective is to mount immediate rescue and relief operations as quickly as
possible. The following procedure will be followed in such situations:
1) The field functionary at ground zero informs the District Emergency Operation
Centre and the District Collector of the emergency/disaster.
2) The District Emergency Operation Centre has to be fully activated for managing
the disaster. With minimum 3 staff member, communication system such as
telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department

3) The District Collector informs the State Emergency Operation Centre/State
Disaster Management Authority and seeks external assistance if required. The FIR is
submitted to State and National Emergency Operation Center.
5) The District Crisis Management Group meeting is realized, where the teams
associated to the IRS and the team to conduct the Rapid Damage and Needs
Assessment are deployed.
6) Search and Rescue Teams and Medical and Paramedical teams have to be deployed
as required by the situation.
7) The District Collector has to review the situation and activate coordination,
command and control.
8) Regular meetings of DDMA are convened to review the situation.
9) Line Departments and other agencies work towards restoration of basic services
and infrastructure such as power, telecommunication, surface transport, etc, as well

3.Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based on
the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the information
dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint District
Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the
early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the Village
Secretaries.
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural areas
17
and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early warning
communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses without
any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District Collector
from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers identified for
information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk Voice SMS
service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in their
panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
18
Besides above control rooms, control rooms are opened at various places after the
issue of first warning as mentioned below:

Tada Staff 249742 Network.
3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at low
cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as the
DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the previous
set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing an
important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.
20
4.1. Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) during Response
Role of EOC during Emergency Response
1. On receipt of information (either from National or State Emergency Operation
Centres, early warning agencies, or field functionaries of sub-divisions or Mandlas),
the District Emergency Operation Centre has to be activated fully as per laid down
protocol.
2. The District Emergency Operation Centre issues then alerts/warnings to all
designated authorities at district, sub-division and Mandal level and elected
representatives at the panchayat level as per Information Dissemination previously
described. Depending on severity, the information may also be communicated to
following actors: Individuals/agencies.
a) District Collector, Nellore
b) Incidence Response Team
c) Line departments, Nellore
d) Members of the District Disaster Management Authority, Nellore
e) Health centers at the disaster site
f) District Emergency Operation Centre in nearby districts
g) State Emergency Operation Centre and State Disaster Management Authority
h) Member of Legislative Assembly and Member of Parliament of affected areas
3. The District Emergency Operation Centre send the FIR (as previously detailed) to
the State and National Emergency Operation Centres. Thereafter, daily reports are
sent till situation normalizes. Daily situation Report (Refer Annexure )
4. The District Emergency Operation Centre collects all relevant information and
appraises the status to designated decision making authorities.
5. The District Emergency Operation Centre is responsible to maintain all records and
documents such as call log, maintain records of information received from field as
well as various authorities related to the response.
6. Finally, the District Emergency Operation Centre constantly communicates with
any Mobile Emergency Operation Centre or similar and the Incident Commander as
per Incidence Response System.
21
Ensure that all warning and communication systems, instructions are in
working condition;
Receive information on a routine and regular basis from the departments
on the vulnerability of the various Gram panchayats and Villages to
disaster
Receive reports on preparedness from the relevant district level
departments and other departments, as per as the formats. Based on
these reports, the DEOC will forward the Preparedness Measures details
on behalf of the Collector to the State Control Room, Relief
Commissioner
Upgrade and update District Control Room system according to changing
scenarios in the district update data bank and maintain an inventory of
resources.
Update all information on the SDRN / IDRN Inform State Control Room,
Relief Commissioner of any changes, including updating of data bank and
annexure.
Monitor preparedness measures including simulation exercises
undertaken by various departments.
Ensure proper dissemination of information about District Control Room
System at the district level, local level and disaster prone areas.
Identify appropriate NGOs/Private Sector Organizations, which can be
assigned the task of community level preparedness.

In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Nellore
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of the
measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority towards
disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational Disaster
Emergency Operation Centre.
