Draft Punjab State Disaster Management Plan 1

FOREWARD
Different parts of Punjab are vulnerable to the natural calamities like

Flood, Earthquake, Drought and Embankment Erosion. In fact there
are multiple High Risk Multi Hazard Zones.
Apart from these natural hazards there are chances of man-made disasters
like fires, industrial accidents, terrorist attacks etc. Punjab has twenty two
districts covering 79 Tehsils, 143 blocks, 12,278 villages, 143 towns and 14
cities of Punjab. The total area of the state is 50,362 square kilometers and
the population is 2,77,04,236 (Census, 2011).
This State DM Plan, Punjab, has been prepared in the context of natural and
man-made disasters. This Plan should be useful to tackle the multi-hazard
vulnerabilities and should be based on the factors like ever-growing
population, the vast disparities of income, rapid urbanization, increasing
industrialization, development within high risk zones, environmental
degradation, climate change, state and national security, economy and
sustainable development.
The objective of the State Disaster Management Plan, Punjab is to facilitate

execution of activities for prevention and preparedness, search and rescue
operations, coordination, and community awareness and involvement. In
preparing the Plan, the existing system has been studied; the prevailing
documents and various stakeholders were consulted.
The framework of the plan is based on the paradigm shift in Disaster

Management from a relief centric approach to a regime that anticipates the
importance of preparedness, prevention and mitigation. On the other hand, it
outlines the functions of the principal agencies and clearly demarcates roles
for; before, during and after a disaster. Such clarity will act as a framework
for each line-departments and district authority to prepare their own plans,
promoting efficiency and teamwork.
In the process, it is my fervent hope that the plan achieves its main objective
– to ensure the safety and well being of the citizens of Punjab. By
mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into developmental work and ensuring
that the community remains the most important stakeholder, i hope this plan
will be helpful in promoting a culture of prevention and preparedness at all
levels.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Although common man is not so familiar with the term disaster

management; they are much aware of certain phenomenon like
Earthquake, Landslide, and Cyclone and now even Tsunami. Since
time immemorial India is highly prone to natural calamities. Today,
from Kanyakumari to Himalayas, India doesn’t have any region
exempted from one or another kind of disaster.
According to recent study, 65 per cent of Indian landmass is highly

prone to earthquakes; whereas, 12 per cent is submerged under
water annually (Ministry of Home Affairs. The unanswered question,
today, is how to tackle such disasters.
Punjab is situated in the northwest India. The Indian state borders

the Pakistani province of Punjab to the west, Jammu and Kashmir
to the north, Himachal Pradesh to the northeast, Chandigarh to the
east, Haryana to the south and southeast and Rajasthan to the
southwest. The total area of the state is 50,362 square kilometres.
The population is 2,77,04,236 (Census, 2011).
The State Disaster Management Plan for Punjab is a combination of

modern participatory approach. This document contains Nine
Chapters and seven annexure and additional information.
Certain most important concepts and approaches like significance of

a State Disaster Management Plan of Punjab as well as detailed
profile of the district are coming in the first chapters. The
vulnerability and hazard situation and capacity available to face a
disaster are elaborately described in the second chapter.
Punjab is vulnerable to 21 types of hazards out of 33 identified by

the High Powered Committee (HPC) of Government of India into 5

sub-groups. Apart to identified hazard by HPC, state has high
impact of Groundwater and Surface water Pollution, depletion of
groundwater level and cancer epidemic which needs to be
addressed as hazard
A major part of geographical area of the state is prone to floods

although substantial part has been protected through flood control
measures.
The Water table is rising in South-western districts of the state due

to limited or non-extraction of groundwater because of
blackish/saline quality, which makes it unfit for domestic, irrigation
and other purposes which causes water logging.
Punjab has experienced drought due to inadequate rain in

Monsoon. The State was experienced drought in 1978, 1979, 1985,
1987, 2002 and 2004, both in rural and urban areas. In 1987, a
major drought was experienced in the State but in 2002, the
intensity of the drought has made the situation much more acute
and has broken the back of the farming community. The State
Government declared all the 17 districts in the State as drought
affected.
A United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report states

that about 12% of Punjab state suffers from the threat of
desertification. The Punjab is facing very serious problem of soil
erosion by water. It is serious menace in the Shivaliks and Kandi
region, along the river courses, streams and choes and in the south
western arid and hot region. In this seismic zoning map, most of
the area of Punjab State lies in Zone III and IV. However, northern
boundary of Punjab State with Himachal Pradesh is in close
proximity to Zone V. According to the Building Material &

Technology Promotion Council, 1997, 48.6% area of the state is
vulnerable to Intensity VIII and 45.6% area to Intensity VII.
A house to house survey was conducted by the Health Department.

The prevalence of cancer in Punjab as per survey is 30.54 per lakh
population whereas the prevalence in India is 125 per lakh, for
example in Muktsar district between 2001 and 2009, 1,074 people
died of cancer
In June 2010, studies carried out amongst mentally retarded

children in the Malwa region of Punjab, revealed 87% of children
below 12 years and 82% beyond that age having uranium levels
high enough to cause diseases.
Road Accidents are increasing day-by-day in the Punjab. In 2008

3206 persons were killed in road accident whereas 3668 persons
were killed in 2009 in Punjab.
Three rail accidents witnessed in Punjab which are Khanna rail

accident in which 212 persons were killed, Sarai Banjara rail
disaster in which 46 persons were killed and Ladhowal rail
disaster in which 39 people lost their lives.
Occasionally Punjab witnesses hailstorms which cause huge

damages to the standing crops, Gales, Lightening, Squall,
Thunderstorm, Heat Wave, Cold Wave, Dustorm etc. Punjab is also
prone to industrial disasters. In 2009 37 people lost their lives in
industrial disasters whereas 14 were lost in 2010. There are 60
Maximum Accident Hazard Units are found in Punjab. Punjab also
witnessed structure and crop fires.
Punjab has 553 KM long International border with Pakistan with 4
districts of Amritsar, Ferozepur (Fazilka is separated and become

another district of Punjab), Tarn Taran (this district was created in
April 2006) and Gurdaspur abutting the International border.
Punjab has witnessed Operation Blue star riots in which 83 army

personnel were killed and 249 injured while insurgent casualties
were 493 killed and 86 injured, Operation Black Thunder in which
42 persons were killed.
Punjab’s grievous drug problem was revealed recently in a report

by Guru Nanak University in Punjab’s largest city, Amritsar, which
declared that some 73.5 per cent of the state’s youth between 16
and 35 years were confirmed drug addicts. Punjab Pollution Board
has identified 13431 water polluting industries in the state under
the provision of Water and Air Acts. In June 2010, studies carried
out amongst mentally retarded children in the Malwa region of
Punjab, revealed 87% of children below 12 years and 82% beyond
that age having uranium levels high enough to cause diseases.
Mitigation and Preparedness Plan: The State Plan for preparedness

and mitigation attempts to protect the lives and properties of the
people of Punjab from potentially devastating hazards. Structural
Mitigation and Non-Structural Mitigation measures are suggested in
the preparedness and mitigation plan. Structural mitigation includes
retrofitting, afforestation, multi-purpose dams, watershed
management, and improvement in drainage efficiency, desiltation
of stream beds, check on encroachment, and check on disposal,
improving the Capacities of Bridges/Aqueducts, intra and inter-
State Coordination, water harvesting measures, etc. Non-
Structural Mitigation includes Sensitization/Awareness Campaigns,
Training and Capacity Building, Flood Plain zoning, Flood Proofing,
Flood Fighting, Early Warning and Dissemination System, etc.

Response Plan: It includes institutional mechanism, State
Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC), Incident Command System,
response activities, warning systems, Role of State Govt. in L2
disaster, State Disaster Quick Response Mechanism, etc.
Recovery Plan: It includes Recovery from Disasters, Recovery as

a Developmental Process, Recovery Process, Interface with
Response Activities, Recovery and Prevention. In the end,
Implementation of recommendation of 13th Finance Commission
and Annual Work Plan are also explained.
Review and Updation of Plan, Coordination, Implementation and

Dissemination of the Plan is also discussed in the end.
The efforts to prepare a document like this -The State Disaster

Management Plan for Punjab- received inspiration from such a
scenario. The objective of this document is to introduce the unique
and tested method of disaster management in district Patiala.
Replacing the well-known traditional methods of disaster
management, one has Patiala. Replacing the well-known traditional
methods of disaster management, one has to embrace
decentralized efforts and people’s participation. Also there are 12
Emergency Support Functions with one nodal agency and a couple
of supporting agencies to look after disaster management, in the
new set up.
This Plan has been prepared as per the guidance provided by the National
Disaster Management Authority and mandates the roles and functions to be
played by the State Disaster Management Authority, State Executive
Committee and State government Line Departments. Disaster management,
by its very nature, requires a multi-disciplinary approach hence; a strong
coordination mechanism forms the core of successful Disaster Management.

This Plan outlines the functions of the principal Agencies like SDMA, SEC,
State Relief Commissioner, and at district level the DDMA and role of
Responsible Officers (DC/DM) and onsite response. The Punjab State
Disaster Management Authority (PSDMA) and SEC will be supported by the
line departments. However the functions listed out for the line departments
are mandatory to comply with. As such, each line department and district
authority’s requisite to prepare their own disaster management plan in
alignment with State plan.
This Plan may be reviewed annually by the SEC to ensure all activities and
information is updated. Regular training of relevant department officials
should be carried out to ensure compliance and quick response during
disaster situations.
The Plan has been structured for easy understanding and clear demarcation
of roles and responsibilities for scenarios before, during and after disasters.
Past experience has shown that each disaster situation throws up a new set
of challenges which the government has to deal with. It is therefore
impractical to go to each spectrum in anticipating every possible situation.
The Plan adopts a comprehensive approach to prepare the State Machinery
to tackle any Disaster like situation i.e. Earthquake, Drought, Floods/Flash
floods, Urban and Rural Fire, etc.
The State Disaster Management Plan is a combination of modern

participatory approach. This document has been designed in two volumes in
which the first volume contains Nine Chapters where as the second volume is
dedicated for annexure and additional information.
It is hoped that the Plan serves the purpose for which it is designed, to
ensure safety and well being of the citizens of Punjab.

Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 STATE PROFILE

1.1.1 Physical Location
Punjab is situated in the northwest India. The Indian state borders the
Pakistani province of Punjab to the west, Jammu and Kashmir to the
north, Himachal Pradesh to the northeast, Chandigarh to the east,
Haryana to the south and southeast and Rajasthan to the southwest. The
total area of the state is 50,362 square kilometers. The population is
2,77,04,236 (Census, 2011). Punjab's capital is Chandigarh, which is
administered separately as a Union Territory since it is also the capital of
neighboring Haryana. Other major cities of Punjab include Mohali,
Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala and Jalandhar.
1.1.2 Geological and Geographical Data of Punjab
The total geographical area of the state is 50,362 sq. kms
Demographic Profile
As per Census 2011, Punjab has a total population of 2,77,04,236 out of

which 1,46,34,819 are males and 1,30,69,417 are females. It constitutes
2.29% of total population of India. Population density of Punjab is 550
persons per sq.km. Other key demographic data is as given in Table 1.
Regions
The area of Punjab can be divided into three regions which are the
following:
Malwa is a region of Punjab and parts of Haryana between the Sutlej and
Yamuna rivers. People of Malwa are known for being great fighters, and
warriors. The Malwa area makes up majority of the Punjab region
consisting 11 districts. Cities such as Ludhiana, Patiala, Bhatinda and
Mohali located in the Malwa region
Majha is a historical region of the Indian Punjab comprising the modern

districts of Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Tarn Taran. It lies between two of
the five great rivers of the Punjab: the Ravi and the Sutlej.
Doaba is the region of Indian Punjab surrounded by the rivers Beas and
Sutlej. The name "Doaba" literally translates to "land of two rivers" ("Do"
two, "Ab" river; Punjabi). It is one of the most fertile regions of the world,
and was the centre of the Green Revolution in India. To this day, it
remains one of the largest per capita producers of wheat in the world.
The biggest cities in Doaba are Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Adampur,
Nawansher and Phagwara.
Table 1: Demographic Data of Punjab State

Physiography
Physiography refers to the study of physical features of the area and their
relationship with one another including the factors and processes
responsible for the evolution of landforms. The state of Punjab forms a
part of Indo-Gangetic alluvial plain and is composed of sediments of
Shiwalik hills and Himalayas brought down and laid by the rivers of Indus
system. The exact depth of the alluvium has not been ascertained,
though it varies from a few metres to over 2000 metres.
The state can be divided into the following major physiographic units:
a. Siwalik hills
b. Piedmont plain
c. Alluvial plain

d. Sand dunes
e. Flood plain
f. Palaeochannels
The Siwalik hills in the north-east are steeply sloping. Number of choes
originate in the Shiwalik zone and drain the excess storm water. The
Shiwalik hills occupy nearly 2.6 per cent area of the state and cover
sizeable area of Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, S.B.S. Nagar, Rupnagar and
S.A.S Nagar districts of the state. The hills have dense to open scrub
forest.
The piedmont area forms a transitional zone between the Shiwalik hills
and alluvial terraces. It is about 10 to 15 km wide and comprises of
Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, S.B.S. Nagar, Rupnagar and S.A.S Nagar
districts. The elevation of this zone varies from 300 to 375 m above MSL.
The piedmont area is gently sloping to undulating and is dissected by
number of seasonal rivulets (choes) which transport storm water with
sediments from their catchment. The coarsest of these sediments are
deposited in the form of alluvial fans at the foot hills and finer fractions
are deposited aling the choes within the piedmont area.
The sand dunes are low ridges along the present and old courses of rivers
and choes. They are formed as a result of reworking of sand bar deposits
of rivers. The deposits are sandy in texture and dominated by quartz and
feldspar minerals. The sand dunes covered nearly 9.0 per cent area of the
state during 1987, however, as a result of levelling and clearing by the
farmers in the recent past, the area of sand dunes has been reduced to
barely 0.56 per cent during 2004. The areas in and around the sand
dunes are moderately sloping whereas interdunal areas are nearly level to
gently sloping.
The alluvial plain/terraces are the old flood plains of the rivers, the
remnants of which lie above the level of the present river beds. They are
separated from flood plains at their bases by broken chains of sand dunes
and cliffs. The deposits of terraces vary with respect to texture, depth of
carbonate leaching and translocation of other mobile soil constituents.
Some parts of these terraces are affected by water logging and/or salinity
and alkalinity. The unit occupies nearly 76.9 percent of the total
geographical area of the state. Three major alluvial plains/ terraces are
recognised in the state. They are popularity known as Uppar-Bari Doab
covering most parts of Tarn Taran, Amritsar and Gurdaspur districts. Bist
Doab covering area between Beas and Satluj rivers and Malwa plain, area
south of river Satluj.
The flood plains of Ravi, Beas, Satluj and Ghaggar rivers and many
seasonal rivulets cover nearly 10.0 per cent area of the state. The flood
plain soils are young and stratified without appreciable alteration of
sediments. The continuous erosion cum deposition keeps the soils young
as time becomes a limiting factor for the consolidation of sediments into
pedogenic horizons.

The palaeochannels are believed to be the remanants of the old active
channels. The origin of these channels may be due to the frequent
changes in the courses of Ravi, Beas, Satluj and Ghaggar rivers and their
tributaries, which became defunct and silted up. These areas occupy a
low-lying topographic position on the landscape.

1.1.3 Land Use & Land Cover in Different Socio-Cultural Zones

1.1.4 Climate and Rainfall
The climate of Punjab is mainly influenced by the Himalayas in the north and the
Thar Desert in the south and south-west. The periodic circulation of the moist air
masses from the south-east and north-western sectors decides the occurrence of
two wet periods each followed by a dry period. The presence of Himalayas in the
north greatly modifies the temperature. As the distance from the Himalayas
increases the temperature also increases, whereas rainfall decreases. In general,
summers are hot and winters are cool.
The state experiences three distinct seasons, the hot season from April to June, the
rainy season from July to September and the winter season extending from October

to March. The highest temperature (between 44.2° and 44.7° C) in the state is
recorded in the month of June and the lowest (between 0° and 2.2°C) in December.
The mean annual rainfall is 705 mm, which varies from 1200 mm at Pathankot to
less than 300 mm at Abohar, representing wettest and driest stations, respectively.
The major part of the rainfall occurs between the months of July and September,
and is essential for growing Kharif crops and subsequent sowing of rabi crops.
Hence the climate of the state is dominantly, semi-arid and monsoonic type. The
soil moisture regimes are udic, ustic and aridic and the soil temperature regime is
mainly hyperthermic.
Temperature: Day temperatures are more or less uniform over the plains except
during winter and monsoon season. In general the night temperature is lower in
higher altitudes except during the post monsoon when they are more or less
uniform. June is the hottest month with mean maximum temperature of 410 C in
plains and with 2 to 50 lower temperatures at elevated places. Highest temperature
recorded in the plains is 450. January is the coldest month with mean minimum
temperature for the state on a whole is 5.50C, varying from 40 to 50C in the west to
60 to 70 C in the east. Both maximum and minimum temperature rise from January
till June.
Rainfall: State receives about 648.8 mm of average annual rainfall. 75% of which
is received during monsoon months from July to Sept. July and August are rainiest
months. Rainfall in the state varies from 26 cm in extreme southwest parts to 72
cm in extreme southern parts and varies from 42 cm in southern parts to 13.5 cm
over northern parts. Districts north of Gurdaspur constitute the area of maximum
rainfall and districts southwest of Ferozepur receive minimum amount of rainfall.
These districts represent lowest and highest rainfall in the state.
1.1.5 River System & Dams:
Rivers of Punjab
There are three perennial rivers namely rivers Ravi, Beas & Sutlej and one
non-perennial river namely River Ghaggar in the State. Besides several Choes,
Nadies & Khads also traverse the Sub mountainous & alluvial plains before
outfalling into Parent River. Multipurpose storage reservoirs stand constructed on
River Sutlej at Bhakra, River Beas at Pong and Ranjit Sagar Dam on river Ravi.
Due to construction of Dams on the three rivers, the menace of flash floods has
been considerably reduced but flash floods are still experienced in river Ghaggar
due to non-construction of dam on this river. The Drainage Administration is
entrusted with the work of maintenance and repair of 1800 Km. long Flood
Protection Embankments (Dhusis), 3800 No. River Training Works & 7238.13 Km
long Drainage system.

Health:
Punjab has 507 Ayurvedic dispensaries, 5 ten beded, Ayurvedic Hospitals, 17

Ayurvedic Swasth Kendras situated in the mainly far flung rural areas. There is
govt. central Ayurvedic pharmacy, Patiala which manufactures and supplies the
medicines to the State dispensaries and hospitals. At present, there are 107
Government Homeopathic Dispensaries in the State of Punjab. In each dispensary
one Homeopathic Medical officers, one Dispenser and one Class-IV employee is
working. In addition to this 98 Dispensaries are functioning in CHCs under National
Rural Health Mission Scheme, in these dispensaries only Homoeopathic Medical
Officer has been posted.

Health Institutions
Education:

Nearly 360,000 students join the state’s primary schools every year. The average
radius covered by schools is 0.8 km in urban areas. The state has six universities,
233 graduate colleges and 20,776 schools (2006). The Punjab University is more
than 100 years old and is well regarded, globally. In case of any disaster the
educational institute can function as centers for temporary accommodations and
can also be used for distribution of relief material. These institutes can impart
training to manpower involved in the activities of disaster management. Also
instructions provided to students studying in various schools can reach a large
number of homes.
Roads and Bridges:
Road Network
The state is well connected to its four neighbouring states and the rest of India
through 11 National Highways (NH). The state highways account for about 2.2 per
cent of the total national highway network in India.
1.1.6 Administrative Set-Up
Punjab has twenty two districts each under the administrative control of a District
Collector. The districts are subdivided into 79 Tehsils, which are under the
administrative control of a Tehsildar. Each Tehsil consists of blocks which are total
143 in number. The blocks consist of revenue villages and the total number of
revenue villages in the state is 12,278. Apart from these there are 22 Zila
Parishads, 136 Municipal Committees and 22 Improvement Trusts looking after 143
towns and 14 cities of Punjab. Fig 2.2 and Table 2.1 gives the administrative
subdivisions of Punjab.

1.2 State Disaster Management Plan

1.2.1 Paradigm Shift in Disaster Management
From a response and relief-centric approach to a proactive and comprehensive

mindset towards DM covering all aspects from prevention, mitigation,
preparedness to rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery
It also provides:
• The creation of a policy, legal and institutional framework, backed by

effective Statutory and financial support
• The mainstreaming of multi-sectoral DM concerns into the

developmental process and mitigation measures through projects.
• A continuous and integrated process of planning, organising,

coordinating and implementing policies and plans in a holistic,
community based participatory, inclusive and sustainable development
1.2.2 National Vision
The national vision is to build a safer and disaster resilient India by developing a
holistic, proactive, multi-disaster and technology driven strategy for DM. This will
be achieved through a culture of prevention, mitigation and preparedness to
reduce the impact of disasters on people. The entire process will centre stage the
community and will be provided momentum and sustenance through the collective
efforts of all government agencies supported by Non-Governmental Organisations
(NGOs).
1.2.3 The role of state Disaster Management Authority (SDMA)/ State

Executive Committee (SEC) and the State Departments
According to Section 23 of the DM Act 2005, this states that there shall be a DM
plan for every state. It outlines the broad coverage of the plan as well as the
requirements of consultation in the preparation of the state plans. It also provides
for annual review and updating of the state plan, and enjoins upon the state
governments to make provisions for financing the activities to be carried out under
the state plans. It provides for the departments of the state governments to draw
up their own plans in accordance with the state plan.
1.2.4 Purpose of Plan
To respond promptly in a coordinated manner in a disaster like situation, it is

mandatory to mitigate the potential impact of disasters in order to save lives of

people and property in Punjab.
1.2.5 Key Objectives
The aim of the state plan is to ensure that the following components of
Disaster Management (DM) are addressed to facilitate planning, preparedness,
operational, coordination and community participation. Flowing from the
national vision and the aforementioned approach, the objectives & guiding
principles for the plan formulation are:
- Promoting a culture of prevention and preparedness by ensuring that DM
receives the highest priority at all levels.
- Ensuring that community is the most important stakeholder in the DM process.
- Encouraging mitigation measures based on state-of-the-art technology

and environmental sustainability.
- Mainstreaming DM concerns into the developmental planning process.
- Developing contemporary forecasting and early warning systems backed by

responsive and fail-safe communications and Information Technology (IT)
support.
- Promoting a productive partnership with the media to create awareness

and contributing towards capacity development.
- Ensuring efficient response and relief with a caring approach towards the
needs of the vulnerable sections of the society.
- Undertaking reconstruction as an opportunity to build disaster resilient
structures and habitat.
- Undertaking recovery to bring back the community to a better and safer level
than the pre- disaster stage
1.2.6 State Disaster Management Plan: An Approach
Till recently, the approach to Disaster Management has been reactive and relief
centric. A paradigm shift has now taken place at the national level from the relief
centric syndrome to holistic and integrated approach with emphasis on prevention,
mitigation and preparedness. These efforts are aimed to conserve developmental
gains as also minimize losses to lives, livelihood and property. A typical Disaster
Management continuum as shown below, comprising of six elements i.e.,
Prevention, Mitigation and Preparedness in pre-disaster phase, and Response,
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in post-disaster phase, defines the complete

approach to Disaster Management.
For efficient execution of the State Disaster Management Plan, the Plan has
been organized as per these four stages of the Disaster Cycle.

CHAPTER-II
HAZARD, RISK AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

INTRODUCTION
The State of Punjab suffers mainly from two natural hazards, namely, flood and
earthquakes, of which floods have quite a high frequency of occurrence, whereas
earthquakes of M > 5.0 have a moderate frequency within and close to the
boundary of the State. Theoretically risk is said to be the product of hazard and
vulnerability of that region. In Disaster Management, risk is measured in terms of
expected loss of human lives, loss of capital, property like agricultural land, roads,
structures, livestock etc. Hazard is potentially a damaging physical event,
phenomenon or human activity that may cause the loss of life or injury, property
damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. Hazards
can include latent conditions that may represent future threats and can have
different origins: natural (geological, hydro meteorological and biological) or
induced by human processes (environmental degradation and technological
hazards). Hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects.
Each hazard is characterized by its location, intensity, frequency and probability.
Vulnerability is the internal weakness of a system from external threats and in

disaster perspective it is the conditions determined by physical, social, economic,
and environmental factors or processes, which increase the susceptibility of a
community to the impact of hazards. It is the degree of loss (from 0 to 100 per
cent) resulting from a potentially damaging phenomenon. It is the degree to which
a person, system or unit is likely to experience harm due to exposure to
perturbations or stresses.
Risk is the probability of harmful consequences, or expected losses (deaths,
injuries, property, livelihoods, economic activity disrupted or environment
damaged) resulting from interactions between natural or human-induced hazards
and vulnerable conditions.
A hazard becomes a disaster only when it affects human settlements and causes
loss of life and damage to property. In order to reduce the impact of such events

through mitigation efforts, it is necessary to understand how such hazards become
disasters. The extent of vulnerability of the area, people and property to a hazard
or the probability of its occurrence defines the extent of risk. Vulnerability analysis
and risk assessment therefore are essential forerunners for evolving appropriate
preventive measures and mitigation strategies.
The process of conducting a risk analysis is based on a review of both the technical
features of hazards such as their location, intensity, frequency and probability; and
also the analysis of the physical, social, economic and environmental dimensions of
vulnerability and exposure,
Punjab is vulnerable to 21 types of hazards out of 33 identified by the High Powered

Committee (HPC) of Government of India into 5 sub-groups. Apart to identified
hazard by HPC, state has high impact of Groundwater and Surface water Pollution,
depletion of groundwater level and cancer epidemic which needs to be addressed as
hazard. :

No government has unlimited resources allowing them to plan for every hazard
event possible, therefore some form of ranking is required when deciding which
hazards are most important to plan for. Based on the aggregation in the Risk
Matrix, 21hazards are identified that could affect the State of Punjab. This
assessment identifies the risk that each hazard presents to the Punjab State,
thereby allowing to plan for mitigation, response, and recovery efficiently within
budgetary and other constraints.
Based on the information, it has assigned each hazard with a rating of high,
moderate, low or very low, though this assessment did not find any hazards with a
rating of very high in the State of Punjab. The results of this assessment identify
that flooding, road accident and cancer hazards as high risk.
The Risk Matrix on the following page shows the relative ranking of all hazards
analyzed.

2.1 Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment

Considering hazards alone may lead to a skewed set of priorities for action. It is
equally important to consider the severity of possible impacts from the hazard as
well as the frequency or likelihood of a hazard event occurring. The combination of
severity and likelihood is termed the level of risk.
In determining the severity of a hazard event, a community’s vulnerability must be

examined. Likelihood reflects the frequency of occurrence for a particular hazard
event and can range from rare events occurring every 200 years to more frequent
events, which usually have a high number of recorded incidents or anecdotal
evidence.
For example, a community located on a floodplain is more vulnerable than a similar

community built outside the floodplain and if that community may have areas with
a high proportion of elderly or disabled residents, thereby increasing the
vulnerability of the community.
A Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment examine the hazards that may impact
a community and the risk that each hazard event poses to the community as a
whole and to vulnerable elements of the community.
Factors considered in developing a list of hazards for the Punjab State includes:
• Demographics
• Geography
• Industries and other technologies
• Transportation modes and routes
• Weather and climate
Based on aggregation seen in the Risk Matrix, it has been identified 33 hazards that
could affect the State of Punjab. Details regarding the measure of likelihood are
seen in Table 1.

Measures of Likelihood Return Period (yrs) Score

Highly Unlikely, Rare Event Every Every 101-200 yrs 1
Table 7: Details each level of risk rating with a description of how these
ratings should be interpreted

RISK RATING INTERPRETATION
These risks are low. Implementation of mitigation

measures will enhance emergency preparedness, but it
is of less urgency than the following hazards.
These risks are moderate. These hazards have intermediate levels

of frequency and severity. Hazards classified as moderate are
more urgent than low risk hazards and are often commonplace
concerns. Given this, moderate level hazards should be addressed
with an appropriate level of urgency.


2.2 HAZARDS
This HRVA is designed to provide an assessment of the hazards that may present
risks to the State of Punjab. These hazards may require site support through the
Emergency Coordination Centre.
2.2.1 Hydrological
(i) Flood
A major part of geographical area of the state is prone to floods although

substantial part has been protected through flood control measures. Nevertheless,
the protected area also faces risk, although in reduced magnitude, because of
possibility of flood in case of failure of protection works.
The district wise damage risk tables show high to very high from flood to a large
number of houses and medium risks to many houses in the protected area from the
consideration of possibility of failure of flood control works in extreme floods. As per
records, about 62,000 houses are damaged due to floods annually on an average.

The maximum damage of 627000 houses was reported in floods of 1955. A gist of
flood damage scenario in the state as per available record is shown in Table 37.
Apart from the State Govt., Bhakra Beas Management Board is the focal
organisation in-charge of management of flood related aspects in the state.
Detailed study of flood problem of particular areas, drainage problem and
systematic maintenance of embankments are some vital aspects for disaster
mitigation in the state.
Many flood control works including embankments have been constructed in the
state. Possibility of failure of the works at vulnerable points is a major consideration
for flood disaster mitigation. Also house constructions should follow the Guidelines
and the settlement planning should be based on Land Use Zoning Guidelines.
Record to Previous Floods

In the state records, no major disaster has been mentioned for the last 25 years,
except a war of 1971 with Pakistan and another flood occurred in the 1987s leading
to massive loss of property.

Amongst all the natural disasters afflicting the State, floods are the most frequent
and devastating. Almost 80% of the annual rainfall is concentrated over a short
monsoon period of 3 months.
In Punjab, damages due to floods are caused mainly by the river Ravi, Sutlej and
Ghaggar, which have a common delta where floodwaters intermingle, and, when in
spate simultaneously, wreaks considerable havoc. The problem is further
accentuated when flood synchronises with high tide. The silt deposited constantly

by these rivers in the delta area raises the bed levels and the rivers often overflow
their banks or break through new channels causing heavy damages.
Following figure shows the Digital Elevation Model of Punjab. It shows that
elevation of Punjab State decreases from North-East to South-West.

The various factors which contribute to the high degree of vulnerability and
damages in the State during floods are:
a) Nearly 80% of the rainfall in the State occurs within 3 months, which also
coincide with the main cropping season;
b) Increased encroachment in the flood plains because of comparatively better
livelihood opportunities and development are important contributors to the
increased vulnerability to flood.
c) Poor socio-economic condition of the majority living in the flood plains, and the
local economy being primarily dependent on the monsoon paddy.
d) Poor infrastructure and weak mud houses.
e) Very little or no forest cover in the flood prone areas.
The rivers posing flood problem in the state are Beas, Sutlej, Ravi and to some
extent Ghaggar as shown in the Flood Hazard Map. Although flood problem in the
three rivers named first have been largely mitigated through construction of
reservoirs and embankments, flood risk due to high releases from reservoirs and
breach in embankment persists. Considerable damage also occurs by a number of
choes (Hill torrents) flooding Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Kapurthala and Rup Nagar
districts. The main problem during the monsoon (flood period) is drainage
congestion and water logging. The water logging problem in predominant in
Firozpur, Bathinda and Sangrur districts. Intense rainfall, inadequate drainage
system and lack of proper maintenance of flood control and other works
(embankments, drainage system, cross drainage works) often accentuate the flood
situation in the state.
The vulnerability of the State to floods is given in the map below.

ii) Water Logging:
The Water table is rising in South-western districts of the state due to
limited or non-extraction of groundwater because of blackish/saline quality, which
makes it unfit for domestic, irrigation and other purposes. This has caused water-
logging in some parts of this area. In the Nineteen Fifties, the sub-soil water level
in the South Western districts, mainly in the Muktsar, Malout and Abohar tracts,
was about 33 meters below ground level. After the construction of twin canals i.e.
Rajasthan Canal feeder and Sirhind Canal feeder, in addition to Abohar Branch and
Bikaner Canal, the sub-soil water level started rising at the rate of 0.2 metre to 1.0
metre annually. The area has witnesses a rise in water level upto 22 meter in the
last 25 years.
The main reason of water logging is non-extraction of underground

water, which is blackish/ saline. The topography of the entire area of Muktsar and
Malout, which is saucer shape and impedes surface drainage system both natural
and artificial, the constant seepage from the twin canals and return flow from canal
irrigation, are some of the other contributory factors towards creating water logging
problem.
The Water table is rising in south-western Districts of the state due to

limited or non-extraction of groundwater because of blackish/saline quality, which
makes it unfit for domestic, irrigation and other purposes. This has caused water-
logging problem in Kahnuwan Bet Area in district Gurdaspur, Chamkaur Sahib and
Sri Anandpur Sahib block in district Ropar.
iii) Drought
State of Punjab includes lack of potable water for residents and crop failure due to
lack of water for irrigation. Secondary impacts include damage to the agriculture
and tourism sectors of the economy.
Punjab have experienced drought due to inadequate rain in Monsoon. The State
was experienced drought in 1978, 1979, 1985, 1987, 2002 and 2004, both in rural
and urban areas. In 1987, a major drought was experienced in the State but in
2002, the intensity of the drought has made the situation much more acute and has
broken the back of the farming community. The State Government declared all the
17 districts in the State as drought affected.
The primary causes of drought include low rainfall or inadequate snow pack the
preceding winter. However, other factors may also contribute to drought conditions
including land degradation and an increase in water demand. An increase in water
demand may be a result of increased population or industry, but can also result
from water used for fire fighting.
Technological failure of human-built water supply systems can also lead to drought-
like conditions, though this is often of a localized nature.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2001) climate models
incorporate scenarios of possible future states of the global climate. The most
common scenarios are based on a range of socioeconomic assumptions (e.g. future
global population and Gross Domestic Product). The models project global
temperature increases ranging from 1.4 ºC to 5.8 ºC by 2100 (relative to 1990),
accompanied by changes in precipitation and other aspects of the climate system.
In British Columbia, the average annual temperature may increase by 1 ºC to 4 ºC,
with more dramatic effects in the northern portion of the province than in the
southern. Even a seemingly minor increase in average annual temperature can
have significant impacts on weather patterns, plant species distribution, and animal
migrations, for example. These changes can impact tourism, agriculture, municipal
and agricultural water supplies, forestry, and other industries.
iv) Desertification
Desertification is a process whereby the productivity of the land declines because of

deforestation, over-cultivation, drought, over-grazing, poor irrigation methods,
salinization, soil erosion and changes in rainfall patterns. Desertification is a long-
term process in terms of its development and impacts but its consequences are
drought, famine and dying animals. A United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) report states that about 12% of Punjab state suffers from the threat of
desertification. Today, India and Pakistan both face the threat of desertification in
the semi-arid zone of Punjab. Land has been intensively cultivated under the Green
Revolution at the expense of grazing and traditional fallow periods. The
desertification of Punjab is proceeding (and will increase with climate change) due
to the excessive use of fertilizers and improper irrigation techniques without proper
long-term soil conservation strategy.

Above map shows the long term water level fluctuations of Punjab State. Drought
hazard increases due to the fall of water level.
v) Soil Erosion
Soil erosion is the removal of the topsoil layer or soil particles by physical or human
activities. This is a result of the absence of vegetative cover and moisture.
Intensive cultivation, deforestation and destruction of the natural vegetation by
grazing or other means will increase soil erosion. It is estimated that 3,000
hectares of cultivated land are lost to erosion in Punjab province annually. The
Kandi tract in Rupnagar district of Punjab state has undulating topography,
inadequate ground water, steep slopes, bare land surfaces and, thus, severe

problems of soil erosion. Soil erosion can result in landslides, flash floods and the
silting of water channels and dams downstream.
Status of Soil Erosion:
• The Punjab is facing very serious problem of soil erosion by water. It is serious
menace in the Shivaliks and Kandi region, along the river courses, streams and
choes and in the south western arid and hot region.
• It is more prevalent in Gurdaspur, Nawashehar, Hoshiarpur and Ropar districts
of north-eastern of Punjab where water erosion by various choes and streams is
much more and is aggravated by the loose structure and softness of rocks,
steep slopes, deforestation overgrazing and various cultural and economic
activities of man.
• In sub-mountain region of Punjab, runoff is one of the major modes of escape of
rainwater received in the area.
• Studies in the area have indicated that runoff during the monsoon period varies
between 24 and 36 percent, whereas annual loss of rainwater varies between 26
and 42 per cent.
• As far as individual storms are concerned, the runoff varies from none to as high
as 80 per cent. The peak runoff rates recorded in the area are sufficient to cause
flash floods.
• The runoff carries along with it upper fertile soil rich in applied nutrients, thereby
decreasing productivity of the soil. The whole Kandi region have been rendered
infertile and dissected and are prone to flooding by hundreds of choes that
transverse the districts of Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Nawashehar and Ropar from
Shiavilks to the flat alluvial plains.
• It covers nearly 11% area of the state. As per Central Water Commission
(2003), 9140 sq km area in the state is prone to water erosion.
Effects Of Soil Erosion
• Soil erosion by various factors causes wide range of problem in land

management and water bodies.
• About 60 percent of soil that is washed away ends up in rivers, streams and
lakes, making waterways more prone to flooding and to contamination from
soil's fertilizers and pesticides.
• Soil erosion also reduces the ability of soil to store water and support plant
growth, thereby reducing its ability to support biodiversity.
• Erosion promotes critical losses of water, nutrients, soil organic matter and soil
biota, harming forests, rangeland and natural ecosystems.
• Erosion increases the amount of dust carried by wind, which not only acts as an
abrasive and air pollutant but also carries about 20 human infectious disease
organisms, including anthrax and tuberculosis (Lang, Susan S.,March 20, 2006).
• The most important effect of soil erosion is the loss of top soil thus converting
otherwise productive soils into shallow soils which is one of the major factors of
low and unstable crop yields in the rain-fed semi-arid to sub-humid tropics of
India.

• There are vast areas of degraded common grazing lands, uncultivable waste
lands and degraded forests that pose a serious threat to adjoining productive
crop land.
2.2.2 GEOLOGICAL
I. Earthquake
Based on tectonic features and records of past earthquakes, a seismic zoning map
of India has been prepared by a committee of experts under the auspices of Bureau
of Indian Standard (BIS Code: IS: 1893: Part I 2002). In this seismic zoning map,
most of the area of Punjab State lies in Zone III and IV. However, northern
boundary of Punjab State with Himachal Pradesh is in close proximity to Zone V.
The Zone III and IV are broadly associated with a seismic intensity VII and VIII on
MMI scale respectively.
It may be mentioned that the seismic intensity VII on the MMI scale corresponds to
horizontal ground acceleration range of 18-240 cm / sec2 or an average
acceleration of 67 cm / sec2 in any direction and the seismic intensity VIII on MMI
scale corresponds to horizontal ground acceleration range of 51-350 cm / sec2 or an
average acceleration of 172 cm / sec2in any direction. The ground acceleration and
hence seismic intensity of an earthquake at a place depends on the magnitude of
an earthquake, distance from the focus, duration of earthquake, characteristics of
underlying soil and its damping characteristics. Generally, the damage to the
buildings founded on sandy soil will be higher than that in similar type of buildings
having their foundation on hard bedrock. Also, the damage will be higher for higher
magnitude and long duration earthquakes, less epicentral distance, soft soil
conditions and areas with high liquefaction potential.

From the earthquake hazard map given in the above, it is seen that about 50
percent of the area of the state in the north, consisting of Amritsar, Gurdaspur,
Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Ludhiana, Patiala and Rup Nagar districts is
liable to MSK Intensity VIII and about 45 percent could have Intensity VII. An
earthquake of M 5.5 occurred in Kapurthala district in 1952 and much larger
earthquakes of M 7.0 to 8.0 have occurred in Himachal Pradesh at about 50 to 60
km from the State boundary, which could cause moderate to heavy damage in the
districts of Gurdaspur, Amritsar and Hoshiarpur. Earthquakes of M > 5.0 that are
known to have occurred in and around the State are listed in the following table:-
Punjab is one of the richer states of the country. As such large majority of the
housing is constructed under burnt bricks (placed in Category B) and only small
percent are kucha with clay mud or unburnt brick walls (placed in Category A), as
summarised below:-
% Area of state in intensity VIII = 48.6

% Area of state in intensity VII = 45.6
Total housing units (2001 census) = 5,967,467
% of Category B units = 89.3
% of Category A units = 6.4
Now the Category A housing (built with clay walls or stone laid in mud mortar) are
so weak that they would collapse completely in an Intensity VIII shock, and will be
destroyed with partial collapse even in Intensity VII earthquake. On the other hand
Category B (burnt brick) houses built using mud mortar will suffer severe damage
with partial collapse under Intensity VIII, but only moderate damage if built in 1:6
cement-sand mortar. Under Intensity VII, Category B housing will suffer cracking,
minor to wider, depending on the quality of mortar. Under collapsing condition of
the houses, people and cattle can be buried and killed. For a feel of the Intensities
it may be mentioned that Intensity VIII was reached in Latur earthquake of 1993 in
which about 9000 human lives were lost due to the collapse of stone houses with
heavy flat roofs; and Intensity VII occurred in the Jabalpur earthquake of 1997.
History of Earthquakes in Punjab

The state of Punjab hence falls in a region of moderate to high seismic hazard, as
per the 2002 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) map. Historically, parts of this state
have experienced seismic activity in the M4.0-5.0 range. Instrumentally recorded
data on earthquakes shows that most of the area of Punjab State lies in a
seismically active region which has been affected by moderate to great earthquakes
in the past. The prominent amongst them are:
(i) Kangra earthquake of 4th April 1905 (M: 8.0): At least 28,000 people
were killed in the Kangra-Dharamsala region of Himachal Pradesh.
Damage and casualties also occurred in adjoining parts of Punjab
including in the cities of Amritsar, Lahore, Jalandhar, Ludhiana and
Sialkot.

(ii) Dharamshala earthquake of 26th April 1986: The epicenter was close to
Kandi area of Punjab and due to this earthquake six people were reported
killed, thirty injured and 85% of the houses were reported damaged in
Dharmasala area. This earthquake was also followed by a number of
aftershocks.
(iii) Uttarkashi earthquake of 21st October 1991 (M: 6.8): Between 750 to
2000 people killed in the Gharwal region. It was also felt very strongly in
Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. Some minor
damage was reported in Chandigarh and New Delhi.
(iv) Chamoli earthquake of 29th March 1999 (M: 6.5): The epicenter was Near
Gopeshwar (Chamoli), Uttaranchal. 115 people killed in the Gharwal
region. The quake was felt very strongly in Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh,
Delhi and Haryana. In Haryana, one person was killed in the city of
Ambala and 2 at Nakodar in the neighbouring state of Punjab. Minor
damage to buildings in New Delhi, most significantly in Patparganj. Minor
damage also reported from Chandigarh.
(v) Pakistan earthquake of 8th October 2005 (M: 7.6): A major earthquake
struck the India-Pakistan border on the morning of 8 October 2005. It had
a magnitude of Mw=7.6 and was felt strongly in much of Pakistan,
northern India and eastern Afghanistan. The earthquake resulted in more
than 80,000 deaths in northern Pakistan and adjoining parts of Jammu &
Kashmir, India and is by far one of the deadliest in the sub-continent. At
least 10 people also died in other parts of north India (including 2 in
Punjab) and 4 in Afghanistan due to this earthquake. Tremors from the
earthquake were felt more than a thousand kilometres away in the Indian
states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
(vi) Punjab earthquake of 14th March 2010 (M: 4.5): A light earthquake
occurred in northern Punjab along the Punjab-Himachal Pradesh border on
14 March 2010 at 12:23 PM local time in India. It had a magnitude of
Mb=4.5 and was felt over a wide area due to its depth.
Besides the above noteworthy earthquakes, many other significant

earthquakes from IMD catalogue occurred in the region bounded by
latitude 29.00 – 33.00N and longitude 73.00 – 78.00 E (covering Punjab
and nearby areas) till date. Some of them could have been experienced in
Punjab region.
The occurrence of earthquakes in the region is attributed mainly to the chief tectonic features in
Himalayas such as the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), the Main Central Thrust (MCT) and
Himalayan Frontal Thrust. These are locally termed as the Jwalamukhi Thrust, the Reasi Thrust,
the Murree Thrust, the Panjal Thrust, the Zanskar Thrust etc. The other tectonic
features of importance in the region are Kallar Kasar thrust, Salt Range thrust,
Drang thrust, Ropar Fault and Sunder Nagar Fault. From the available geological

and seismological evidence, it is seen that these faults have been active in the past.
According to the theory of plate tectonics, the area lies near the boundary of Indian
and Eurasian plates along which there is a wide zone of deformation due to cracking
and splintering of the lithosphere and is characterized by single dominant direction
of underthrusting. Geophysical data in and around Himalayas have shown that the
Indian plate is moving North-North -Eastwards at a rate of about 5 cm. per year
and colliding with Eurasian plate due to which stresses are accumulating in the
region. The accumulated stress is occasionally released in the form of earthquakes
along various segments of Himalayan arc.
Presently, there is no scientific technique available anywhere in the world to predict

occurrence of earthquakes with reasonable degree of accuracy with regard to
space, time and magnitude. It is, therefore suggested that appropriate steps may
be taken to ensure that the dwellings and other structures in the region are
designed and constructed as per guidelines laid down by Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS) to minimize the losses caused by earthquakes. The choice of
seismic factor to be adopted for designing and engineering the structures depends
on horizontal ground acceleration and various other factors including type of
structures, the ground conditions and also importance of structures. For important
and critical structures, site specific spectral studies have to be carried out before
assessing the seismic design parameters.
SIGNIFICANT EARTHQUAKES IN PUNJAB
• As far as earthquake history is concerned the last earthquake to hit Punjab

was in 1905 kangra (Himachal Pradesh). Its magnitude is 7.8 and it caused
damage in cities like Amritsar, Jalandhar, Tarantaran etc. Many famous
buildings sufer damages because of this highly intense earthquake.Tall
structures in amritsar such as minarets of the sheikh Din mosque, the Clock
Tower were badly damaged.
• The 1999 chamoli earthquake affects Nakodar (SW of Jalandhar). A number
of houses in northern Punjab have collapsed. Two deaths were reported. One
building collapses in Gurdaspur and six in amritsar. Fires were also reported
from Amritsar.
• April 1905- Kangra (Himachal Pradesh), Mw 7.8 IST/ 00:50 UTC, 3230 N
76.30 E. The feadliest earthquake to date in the Punjab Himalayas. Close to
30,000 were killed in the kangra Valley and the adjoining parts of northern
Indian and Pakistan. Shocks from the temblor were experienced as far as
Puri, on the Mahanadi Delta in Punjab. Damage from the quake extended
into many parts of the Punjab.
• 14 October 1970- North of Ferozpur (Indo-Pakistan Border Region), 5.2 Mb
(USCGS) 00:36:34.0 UTC, 31.26 N, 74.50 E, 44 kms depth.
• 21 October 1991- Near Pilang (Uttarkashi district), Mw 6.8 (NEIC) 21:23:14
UTC/ 02:53:14 IST, 30.78 N, 78.77 E. Between 750 to 2000 people killed in
the Gharwal region. It was also felt very strongly in Uttar Pradesh,
Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana and Punjab. Some minor damages was
reported in Chandigarh and New Punjab.

• 17 October 1997- North of Jalandhar, Gurdaspur district (Punjab), 5.1 Ms
(EDIC) 17:36:31.0 UTC, 31.6167 N,, 75.7744 E, 38 kms depth
• 29 March 1999- Near Gopeahwar (Chamoli District) Mw 6.5 (HRV) 19:05:11
UTc, 30.492 N, 79.288 E. 115 people killed in the Gharwal region. The quke
was felt very strongly in Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, Punjab and haryana. In
Haryana, one person killed in the city of Ambala and 2 at Nakodar in the
neighbouring state of Punjab. Minor damage to buildings in New Punjab,
most significantly in Patparganj. Minor damage also reported from
Chandigarh.

II. DISEASES, EPIDEMICS, PANDEMICS
Cancer
Recent times have seen an increase in the incidence of cancer. This is mainly
attributed to urbanization, industrialization, lifestyle changes, population growth
and increased life span. In India, the life expectancy at birth has steadily risen from
45 years in 1971 to 62 years in 1991, indicating a shift in the demographic profile.
It is estimated that life expectancy of the Indian population will increase to 70 years
by 2021–25. This has caused a paradigm shift in the disease pattern from
communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes and
hypertension.
Among men, lung, esophagus, stomach, oral and pharyngeal cancers are more
prevalent, while in women; cancers of cervix and breast are most common,
followed by those of stomach and esophagus.
Punjab
A survey was conducted by the Health Department in June 2005 in 4 districts of
Muktsar, Bathinda, Faridkot and Mansa to know the number of cancer patients in
these districts. The results of the survey are:-

2.2.3 ACCIDENTS
I. Road Accidents
The figures of road accidents indicate rising trend in Punjab. The figures are
however not complete since each and every accident case is not reported at the
police stations. Thus, the actual number or road accident cases may be still higher.

Except for the observance of the Traffic Week in the first week of January every
year in the State, there is very little regular and sustained campaigns to prevent
and reduce the road accidents.

II. Rail Accident
a. Khanna Rail Disaster
The Khanna rail disaster occurred on November 26, 1998 near Khanna on the
Khanna-Ludhiana section of India's Northern Railway in Punjab, at 03:15 when
the Calcutta-bound Jammu Tawi-Sealdah Express collided with six derailed coaches
of the Amritsar-bound "Frontier Mail" which were lying in its path. At least 212 were
killed in total the trains were estimated to be carrying 2,500 passengers. The initial
derailment was caused by a broken rail.
b. Sarai Banjara Rail Disaster

The Sarai Banjara rail disaster occurred on 2 December 2000, when a
derailed freight train crossed onto the opposite track early in the morning
in Punjab, India. A passenger train coming the other direction hit the freight train
head on at speed, killing 46 people and injuring at least 150.
c. Ladhowal rail disaster

The Ladhowal rail disaster on 15 May 2003, was an flash fire which began at 4am
on the Frontier Mail train service in India, and engulfed three carriages before it
could be extinguished. 39 people lost their lives and another 15 were hospitalized
with severe burns.

The train service from Mumbai to Amritsar, had just passed the station
at Ludhiana and was approaching Ladhowal , travelling at over 100km/h.
Eyewitness A. D. Singh reported that he had seen the fire begin as a result of a
dropped cigarette, whilst Safi Pitoliwali claims he saw electrical wiring in the toilet
of the fourth carriage catch alight, but what ever the cause, the speed of the train
combined with the open windows during the Indian summer to create an inferno, as
air carried the fire back through three carriages in a massive burst of flame.
When emergency services did arrive, there was no water available due to a local
drought, so the wreckage had to be left to burn itself out.
2.2.4 ATMOSPHERIC
There have been occasional incidents of thunderstorms, lightening, squall, gale and
hailstorms resulting in damages of property, crops, livestock and human lives. Most
important aspect for tacking this kind of disaster will be to ensure immediate first
aid to the affected population and then to shift them to the nearest hospitals. In
case of localized fire generally local people come to extend help to immediately
control it.
I. Hailstorm
Hailstorms consist of precipitation in the form of balls or irregular lumps of ice

formed when updrafts in thunderclouds carry raindrops into extremely cold areas of
the atmosphere.
Slight hailstorm is sparse usually small in size and often mixed with rain. Moderate
hailstorm is abundant enough to whiten the ground. The heavy hailstorm includes
at least a proportion of large stones. Punjab state often gets affected by moderate
to heavy hailstorms. In the past such hailstorms have often affected the standing
crops, trees, vehicular traffic, telecommunication services etc.
Hailstorms in Punjab
Slight: Sparse, usually small in size and often mixed with rain.
Moderate : Fall abundant enough to whiten the ground.
Heavy: Includes at least a proportion of large stones.

VI. Heat Wave

Climatic changes, decrease in tree cover, depletion of ground water
resources and increase in day temperature especially in the months of May and
June, have made majority of the districts of the state vulnerable to heat wave.
As per the data available, temperature in this state during the month of May
and June goes as high as about 45 degree centigrade.
The heat wave condition in Punjab is becoming increasingly prominent and

regular. However, the main risk due to heat wave is heat stroke. The main causal
factor was identified as lack of awareness and not following certain does and don’ts
during heat wave conditions. Though extensive awareness campaigns has reduced
large number of fatalities, poor socio-economic conditions lack of enforcement and
adoption of working conditions during the summer months and continuing weak
facilities to treat heatstroke patients in most PHCs remain the main risks of heat
wave.
The State has had past histories of vulnerable to hail storms, thunder and lighting
deaths or injury nearly every year.
Cold wave:
When normal minimum temperature is less than 100 C, cold wave is said to be a
condition when night temperature is 3-40C below normal. In such situation a
severe cold wave is a condition in which night temperature is 50C or more below
normal. When normal minimum temperature is more than 100 C, cold wave is said
to be a condition when night temperature is 5-60C below normal. In such situation
a severe cold wave is a condition in which night temperature is 70C or more below
normal. Punjab has experienced cold waves and severe cold waves many times in
the past. Cold wave on 02nd January 1990 is worth mention which took toll of 2
persons from Hosiarpur.

VII. Cyclones/Wind Storms

So far as wind hazard is concerned, the design wind speed in almost the whole
state is 47 m/s (169 km/h) which could only occasionally be reached in what is
called ‘Andhi’. In such events, weakly built huts of thatch, sheets etc. and those
with sloping roofs such as using thatch and tiles and A.C. sheet and corrugated
Galvanized Iron (C.G.I.) sheet roofs which are not fully anchored and integrated will
suffer damage. The damages occurring in ‘Andhis’ is again of localised nature and
does not result in a ‘disaster’ to the State. But it will be useful to adopt the wind
resistant construction guidelines and implement them for minimising wind damage.
A moderate dust storm is called to a condition in which wind speed is between 39 to

74 kmph and horizontal visibility is up to 500 meters. A heavy dust storm is a
condition when wind speed is ≥ 75 kmph and horizontal visibility is up to 50
meters. Punjab was badly hit by dust storms during the months from May to July of
year 2010. Chandigarh was severely affected alongwith districts of Roopnagar,
Ferozpur, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Muktasar, Patiala and Ludhiana. The dust storms
occurred on 5 different dates and took a toll of 8 lives. Significant losses were
caused to the houses, telecom services, trees, electric poles etc. apart from this
Punjab experienced Gale with wind speed ≥ 75 kmph on 12th May 1999 at Sangrur.
In this gale 5 persons died and 7 others got injured.

2.2.5 EXPLOSIONS AND LEAKS
I. Chemical/Industrial disasters:

Over the years, there is substantial increase in industrial activities in the State.
Many industries in the state store handle and process large volume of hazardous
chemicals. This has caused potential threat to the employees, general public and
environment in general.

The industries, which are handling hazardous chemicals, are known as Major
Accident Hazard (MAH) units. Many technological accidents have occurred in the
state as well as in the country damaging lives and properties. Some areas in the
state have been identified having cluster of industries handling hazardous chemicals
and pose chemical and industrial disaster. List of districts with type of hazards is

Around 2 lakhs small scale industries and 562 large and medium scale industries
are functioning in the state with total production of over Rs. 570 billion. 2628
industries have been identified as hazardous waste generating industries by Punjab
Pollution Control Board (as on 28-02-2007). The total hazardous waste generated
from these industries is 124674.70 tons per annum (TPA) out of which 96992.12
TPA is recyclable, 15108.75 TPA is incinerable and 12573.83 TPA is storable. All the
major industries which generate incinerable hazardous waste have installed captive
incinerators in their premises.
2.2.6 FIRE
I. Structure Fire
A structure fire occurs in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings or

structures. Fires can be ignited by a number of causes, such as faulty electrical
wiring, cooking and heating equipment, and cigarettes. In some cases, fires may
also be ignited intentionally. Structure fires are a reality within any Electoral Area in
the State of Punjab and have the capacity to spread quickly to adjoining structures.
II. Crop Fire
Punjab occupies less than two percent of the area of the country, and yet it
produces about two-thirds of the food grains in India. Wheat and rice are the two
most commonly grown food crops. Farmers use fire to clear fields and get them
ready for new plantings. Crop residues become a soil-fertilizing ash, and burning
destroys some crop pests. Although the fires are not necessarily immediately
hazardous, such widespread burning can have a strong impact on weather, climate,
human health, and natural resources.
A plume of haze flows southeastward, along the path of the Ganges River, which is
hidden from view. Although some of the haze is probably smoke from the fires,
urban pollution is a major problem in this part of India. Several large cities are
found here, including Delhi, India, where soot from diesel cars is a major (and still
increasing) source of air pollution. Other images of the haze can be found in a
related Natural Hazards event, Haze along the Himalaya.

At the base of the Himalaya Mountains in north-western India, the annual
agricultural fire season was underway in the states of Punjab (closest to Pakistan)
and Haryana (to the southeast) in early November 2008. In this Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the Aqua satellite on
November 3, actively burning fires are marked with red dots.
2.2.7 OTHER HAZARDS

I. TERRORIST ACTIVITIES
a. WAR
Punjab has 553 KM long International border with Pakistan with 4 districts of
Amritsar, Ferozepur (Fazilka is separated and become another district of Punjab),
Taran Taran (this district was created in April 2006) and Gurdaspur abutting the
International border. The following 19 blocks (Attari block included in 2010-11)
with area of 6369.82 sq.km are being covered under Border Area in Punjab:-
Table 22: Border Area in Punjab

Gurdaspur: Kalanaur, Dera Baba Nanak, Narot Jaimal Singh, Bamial, Dina Nagar,
Dorangla, Gurdaspur.
Amritsar : Ajnala, Chogawan and Attari
Tarn Taran: Gandiwind, Bhikhiwind and Valtoha
Ferozepur: Ferozepur, Guru Harsahai, Jalalabad, Fazilka,, Khuian Sarvar & Mamdot
Problem
i) The Border districts have suffered a lot and lagged behind due to their proximity
to the border, 3 wars with Pakistan and long spell of cross border terrorism.
ii) Farmers living in Border areas face acute hardships as they can not cultivate tall
crops. The problems are compounded by inadequate accessing facilities to the
farmers after the erection of fencing alongwith International border.
iii) Rivers Ravi and Sutlej and number of choes and distributaries are passing
through the border Districts of Gurdaspur and Ferozepur respectively causing
damage to the crops particularly during the rainy season.
iv) Border areas lack basic amenities of Education, Health, Sanitation,
Transportation, Roads etc. The lack of environment for development of Industries
and Marketing infrastructure has further accentuated the problems of the local
population.
b. BLASTS AND SHOOT OUTS

Punjab State is prone to terrorist activities form the Pakistan and China which
results loss of lives and property. Following table shows the terrorist activities:

II. RIOTS
a. Operation Blue star
June 1984 was an Indian military operation, ordered by Indira Gandhi,

then Prime Minister of India, under the pretext of
removing Sikh separatists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The Sikhs,
led by Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, were accused of amassing weapons
in the Sikh temple.
On 3 June, a 36-hour curfew was imposed on the state of Punjab with all
methods of communication and public travel suspended. Electricity supplies
were also interrupted, creating a total blackout and cutting off the state from
the rest of India and the world. Complete censorship was enforced on
the news media.
After a 24 hour firefight, the army finally wrested control of the temple
complex. According to Indian Government sources, 83 army personnel were
killed and 249 injured while insurgent casualties were 493 killed and 86
injured. Unofficial figures go well into the thousands. Along with insurgents,
many innocent worshipers were caught in the crossfire. The estimates of
innocent people killed in the operation range from a few hundred of people.
Effect of Operation Blue star

On 31 October 1984, the Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi was gunned
down by her two Sikh bodyguards. In the wake of Indira Gandhi's
assassination, rioting mobs allegedly led by Congress leaders, who are still
facing the court cases, rampaged through the streets of Delhi and other
parts of India over the next few days, killing several thousand Sikhs.
b. Operation Black Thunder
Operation Black Thunder is the name given to two operations that took place
in India in the late 1980s to flush out remaining Sikh extremists from
the Golden Temple using 'Black Cat' commandos of the National Security
Guards. Like Operation Blue Star, these attacks were on Khalistani militants
who were using the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab as a base.
Operation Black Thunder I

The first Operation Black Thunder took place on 30 April 1986. About
300 National Security Guards commandos stormed the Golden Temple along
with 700 Border Security Force troops and captured about 300
separatists. Only 1 person was killed and 2 were injured. The operation,
which lasted eight hours, was approved by then Chief minister of
Punjab Surjit Singh Barnala of Shiromani Akali Dal.
Operation Black Thunder II (sometimes just referred to as Operation

Black Thunder) began on 9 May 1988 in Amritsar and ended with the
surrender of the militants on 18 May. The operation was commanded
by Kanwar Pal Singh Gill who was the DGP of Punjab Police. Snipers were
used in this operation. Compared to Operation Blue Star, little damage was
inflicted on the Golden Temple. In what was reported as a successful
operation, around 200 millitants surrendered, 41 were killed. Gill stated that
he did not want to repeat the mistakes made by the Indian army during
Operation Blue Star. This operation was described as a severe setback to
the Khalistan movement. In contrast to prior operations, minimum force was
used under full public scrutiny. It is remembered for the free access the
news media was provided unlike during Operation Blue Star. The day after
the militants surrendered nine reporters were allowed into the Temple
complex. Kirtan was resumed at the Golden Temple on 23 May 1988 after a
two week break during this operation.
c. Sikh leader’s murder sparks riots in Punjab

Tuesday, 26 May 2009

At least 16 people were wounded on Sunday when six armed men attacked
two preachers visiting from India with a gun and knives during a ceremony
in a Vienna gurudwara.
Guru Sant Rama Nand, 57, died in the night after an emergency operation,
police said. The second, Guru Sant Niranjan Dass, 68, is in a stable
condition.Both had suffered bullet wounds.
Four of the attackers were severely wounded, two of them life-threatening,

when they were overpowered by worshippers. The other two were only
lightly wounded and are in police detention.
The Guru who died was said to be from the Dera Sach Khand, a religious
sect which draws large support from the Dalit community and is considered
separate from mainstream Sikhism.
III. Drug Addiction

Punjab teeters on edge of crisis as 70% fall into drug addiction
“Punjab is teetering on the edge of an extraordinary human crisis, with an
inordinately large number of youngsters hooked on to marijuana, opium and
heroin, in addition to imbibing a range of prescriptive tablets,” says Raj Pal Meena,
head of the state’s Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF). Punjab’s grievous drug
problem was revealed recently in a report by Guru Nanak University in Punjab’s
largest city, Amritsar, which declared that some 73.5 per cent of the state’s youth
between 16 and 35 years were confirmed drug addicts. The study said young
people in villages were more prone to drug abuse, and attributed this to high
unemployment, social tensions and easily available narcotics.
Drug addiction touching alarming level: Survey
According to a Punjab Government survey, 66 per cent of the school-going students

in the state consume gutkha or tobacco; every third male and every tenth female
student has taken drugs on one pretext or the other and seven out of 10 college-
going students abuse one or the other drug. These disturbing details were
submitted by Harjit Singh, Secretary, Department of Social Security and Women &
Child Development, Chandigarh, in reply to a petition filed by some to drug
rehabilitation centres before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The report was
prepared after a study in eight districts— Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur,
Amritsar, Ferozepore, Ludhiana, Muktsar and Gurdaspur.
Secretary of the department, Mr R.L. Kalsia, told that in Majha area, narcotics was
being used rampantly, while in Doaba belt, the most common form of addiction
were tranquillisers. He added that the addicts used a variety of drugs which
included raw opium, smack, heroin, synthetic drugs like morphine, pethidine,
codeine and psychotropic substances like diazepam.

The secretary claimed that the Chief Minister, Captain Amarinder Singh, had taken
the findings of the survey “seriously” and had instructed the departments
concerned to create awareness against rampant drug abuse. An amount of Rs 1
crore had been sanctioned for the purpose.
IV. Water Pollution in Punjab
In Punjab, following are the causes of water pollution:

• Rapid increase in population
• Urbanization,
• Industrialization
• Agricultural practices
The above stated sources have heavily polluted the fresh water resources of Punjab,
both in physico-chemical and biological terms. The industrial, domestic and agricultural
wastes accumulate in the aquatic ecosystems and then enter the primary, secondary
and tertiary webs of the food chain. As wastes move along the food chain, these get
magnified.
Industrial Waste water Pollution: Organic and toxic wastes from industries cause
water pollution. Punjab Pollution Board has identified 13431 water polluting industries
in the state under the provision of Water and Air Acts.
Major Water Polluting Industries in Punjab
Further, Punjab Pollution Control Board has classified water polluting industries under
Red (highly polluting) and Green Category (moderately, mild or non-polluting). There
are 8182 industries under Red Category and 5249 industries Green Category
(Statistical Abstract of Punjab, 2007).
Municipal /Waste Water Pollution: Untreated domestic and industrial effluent when
discharged into the environment, find there way into the streams, nallahs and choes.
These Nullahs further fall into rivers. Punjab Pollution Control Board carried out a study
of various drains/ nullahas during the year of 2006, which falls in to the river Ghaggar.
The pollution load of municipal wastewater varies from drain to drain depending upon
the nature of municipal discharge.
The water quality studies carried out by PPCB (2006), for some streams, nallahs and
choes are as follows:
Ø Sukhna Choe: The value of BOD and COD of the water flowing in Sukhna Choe
indicate that there concentration was found as 8 and 40 mg/l, respectively. The
concentration of chloride, sulphate sodium and potassium was observed as 96,
40, 70 and 21 mg/l, respectively. The value of calcium and magnesium were
estimated as and 50 mg/l, respectively; where as the concentration of zinc and
lead was found to be as 0.2 and 0.04 mg/l, respectively. The reasons for high

values of all parameters may probably be due to sewage brought by the choe of
various residential settlements along or nearby Sukhna choe.
Ø Dhankansu Nallah: The effluent flowing in the Dhankansu nallah was found
contained BOD and COD as 135 and 228 mg/l, respectively. The reason for high
values of substrate (organic matter) in the effluent may be probably due to
discharge of domestic effluent. The mortality rate of fish was observed as 100%
in 100% effluent after 96 hrs, which indicated that very low level of DO due to
discharge of untreated sewage in to the Dhankansu nallah.
Ø Patiala Nadi :The wastewater samples collected from Patiala Nadi just before
its confluence with river Ghaggar indicate the value of BOD, COD, sodium,
sulphate, chloride and TSS as 160, 320, 188, 44, 140 and 28 mg/l, respectively.
The value was zinc was found to be mg/l. The reasons for high values of various
parameters may be due to the fact that Patiala Nadi mainly carries sewage of
Patiala city.
Ø Drain at Sardulagarh Town: First drain of Sardulgarh town which carrying

sewage/ sullage of sardulgarh indicate the values of BOD, COD, TSS, TDS,
chloride, sulphate, sodium, potassium, TKN, calcium, magnesium, phosphate,
zinc, lead and copper were observed to be as 90, 188, 142, 1299, 118, 120,
136, 49, 37, 290, 110, 14, 0.09, ND and 0.06 mg/l, respectively. These results
indicates that the sewage of Nagar Panchayat, Sardulgarh requires treatment
before it discharge in to river Ghaggar. Waste water also contains pathogens to
pose serious risk to human health.

Impact of Water Pollution
• Water pollution affects ground water and surface water resources. This
harms human health and natural environment in various ways:
• Release of hot water from industries into water bodies increases temperature
resulting in decrease of dissolved oxygen content. This adversely effects aquatic
life.
• Turbidity due to suspended solids makes the water unfit for drinking and
industrial use. High turbidity shortens filter runs at water purification plants and silt
up impoundment. This can reduce the photosynthetic activity thus affecting
oxygenation in the water bodies.
• High conductivity results in the scaling of pipes and containers and increases
pumping costs.
• High phosphates in water bodies result in eutrophication and hence cause
degeneration of water bodies.
• Increased nitrates in drinking water can lead to methemoglobinaemea (Blue
baby) and cause cellular anoxia.
• High concentration of ammonia is harmful to most fish species. Such
pollutants also impart an unpleasant odour and impair taste of water.
• Sodium and magnesium sulphate have a laxative effect and can cause
“Crown Corrosion” of sewers.
• Organochlorines, pesticides and insecticides are highly persistent and pass
through food chains resulting in bioaccumulation. This not only harms aquatic life
but is also harmful for humans and cattle as they affect body tissues (especially
kidney) or can be carcinogenic.
• Heavy metals have mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Salts of arsenic,
lead, etc. also make water poisonous.
• Excessive faecal coliform in water can cause several diseases, a few of which
are enumerated below:

WATER QUALITY OF RIVER SATLUJ
Many important towns like Nangal, Ropar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Ferozepur are
situated along this river. PPCB is monitoring the quality of the river for physico-
chemical parameters at 15 locations under the scheme. Parameters (BOD, COD, DO
and feacal coliform) indicate that the water quality is poor downstream Ludhiana
upto Harike.
At Nangal (upstream area) is good with sufficient dissolved oxygen. The water
quality can be designated as “B” category. As the river flows downwards, its quality
degrades due to addition of pollutants and the quality category becomes ‘C’ (it can
be used for drinking only after conventional treatment and disinfection). It is also
not fit for bathing. The quality further degrades to ‘D’ category, as Budha Nallah
from Ludhiana disposes industrial wastewaters and domestic sewage into the river.

WATER QUALITY OF RIVER BEAS
The important towns situated along the banks of river Beas are Talwara, Mukerian
and Beas town. The variations in major physico-chemical parameters of river Beas
have been depicted. Data indicates that the quality of water of river Beas when it
enters Punjab at Talwara is class ‘B’). The river has sufficiently high dissolved
oxygen content (7.6 mg/l) and 88/100ml of coliform at this point. The quality of
water remains so till it receives effluents and sewage from Beas at Gurudaspur and
Mukerian town where it drops down generally to class C. Further downstream, the
water quality deteriorates due to discharge of industrial effluents and sewage from
Goindwal town and industrial complex.

There is only one sampling station U/S Madhopur Head Works, Gurdaspur on this
river. The variations in physico-chemical parameters of river Ravi have been
depicted. The water quality of the river is more or less similar along its entire
length. The water quality predominately conforms to B class as per designated best
use classification of CPCB. The physico-chemical analysis of water at Madhopur
suggests that the water is clean and almost free from pollution. The river water has
7.7 mg/l of DO and 966/100 ml of coliform.

WATER QUALITY OF RIVER GHAGGAR
This river is a predominantly monsoonal stream. There are 12 sampling locations on

the river. The water quality at all the sampling location is belongs to ‘D’ category
excluding Mubarakpur Rest house at Patiala (category ‘D’). The BOD, COD and
Coliform MPN values are very high and are depicted.
These issues, if unattended, will pose major problems to provide safe drinking
water during 21st century especially in S.W. parts of the state where drinking water
supply is canal based.

GROUND WATER QUALITY
Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water for more than 95% of the
population in Punjab. Groundwater in the central districts (Kapurthala, Jalandhar,
Ludhiana, Patiala and Sangrur) is getting depleted at 20-30 cm/year (Planning
Commision, Government of India, 2007-2012).
Further, as per studies conducted by various workers on heavy metal contamination

in ground water of Punjab due to industrial and agricultural activities especially in
few cities.
• Selenium Contamination in Ground Water
Selenium ranging from 2.5 to 69.5 mg/l has been reported in the ground water of
several villages in districts Nawanshahr & Hoshiarpur (Panam, Nazarpur, Simbli,
Barwa, Jampur, Menhdpur, Rakkara, Dhahan and Bhano Majra) and in Kandi area
as shown in Fig. below. Further, the maximum permissible limit of 10 mg/l for
drinking water was exceeded by 11.1% in tube well samples whereas the maximum
permissible limit of 20 mg/l for irrigation water was exceeded by 4.4% sample as
reported in joint studies conducted by PAU and PSCST (Dhillon, et al., 2004,
unpublished).

Underground Waters located in Seleniferous Region of Punjab
• Fluoride contamination in Ground Water:
Fluoride is known to contaminate groundwater reserves globally. Sporadic incidence

of high fluoride content in groundwater has been reported from India. As per
Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, thirteen states in India have
been identified as fluorosis affected due to presence of natural fluoride bearing
minerals in subsoils. Punjab (Bhatinda & Sangrur), is one of them (Tiwana et al.,
2005). Further, the fluoride content in groundwater (about 1.5 mg/l) has also been
reported in Bhatinda, Patiala, Faridkot, Mukatsar and Mansa. The maximum value
of fluoride 22.6 mg/l has been reported in Kachi Khanauri in Sangrur district.
(Source: Central Groundwater Regulation and Management Department,

2008as cited in www.expressindia.com).
• Arsenic contamination in Ground Water:
Arsenic contamination has been reported by the following studies:
Deep-water tube wells used for domestic water supply for urban population located
in Amritsar has shown the arsenic concentration ranging from 3.8 to 19.1 ppb with
mean value of 9.8 ppb (Hundal et al., 2008). Further, arsenic content in hand pump
water is reported varying from 9 to 85 ppb with a mean value of 29.5 ppb.
According to the safe limit of 54% and 97%, water samples collected from deep
water tube wells and hand pumps, respectively, were not fit for human
consumption. Arsenic content in canal water varied from 0.3 to 8.8 ppb with a
mean value of 2.89 ppb (Hundal et al., 2008).
The problem is more severe at several sites in South West districts of Punjab where
the arsenic concentration exceeded more than 20-30 folds of the WHO safe limits.
In this region, Department of Sanitary and Public Health preferred to supply canal

water to urban population due to brackish under ground water which is usually unfit
for human consumption (Hundal et al.,)
Uranium poisoning in Punjab
In June 2010, studies carried out amongst mentally retarded children in

the Malwa region of Punjab, revealed 87% of children below 12 years and
82% beyond that age having uranium levels high enough to cause diseases.
Causes an investigation carried out by the observer newspaper, in 2009,
revealed the possible that cause of contamination of soil and ground water
in Malwa region of Punjab, to be the fly ash from coal burnt at thermal
power plants, which contains high levels of uranium and ash as the region
has state's two biggest coal-fired power stations.
IV. Air pollution
In Punjab there are basically three types of air pollution:

1. Industrial Pollution
2. Vehicular Pollution
3. Noise Pollution
1. Industrial Pollution
Modernization and progress have led to air getting more and more polluted over the
years. The major factors responsible for industrial air pollution are thermal power
plants, cement, steel, refineries, petro-chemicals, and mines and other factors, which
indirectly responsible for air pollution and associated with industrial growth are
vehicles, over population and urbanization.
In Punjab the total number of industries has increased tremendously over the past 20
years. The industries contributing to air pollution mostly use coal or rice husk as fuel.
Together these contribute to suspended particulates, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur,
organic compounds and other pollutants in the air.

Punjab is also vulnerable to Vehicular and Noise Pollution.
2.3 VULNERABILITY
I. Socio-Economic Vulnerability
Socio-economic vulnerability of Punjab can be understood, first, as a group of
characteristics and tools that the state possesses. In this sense, we can call socio-
economic vulnerability the endogenous inability of the state to face shocks. This
endogenous inability is a function of risk exposure and other socio-economic
factors. The socio-economic vulnerability, more specifically, is the result of the risk
exposure of the Punjab state, coupled with the people’s socioeconomic
characteristics and their ability to adequately respond to shocks so as to avoid
declines below a certain benchmark of well-being. Socioeconomic vulnerability is
also the susceptibility of an economic agent to absorb external shocks (hazards)
negatively, given its assets possession and entitlements system (coping capacity),
as well as its implemented risk management and protection measures (adaptive
capacity). Though being poor does not necessarily imply being vulnerable, but
poverty makes individuals relatively more vulnerable to a given hazard. Adverse
economic conditions make individuals less able to invest in all items, including
those to manage risk and increase disaster protection. The developing countries
have historically been more severely damaged as compared to developed countries
Various indicators of socio-economic vulnerability are poverty, illiteracy,

unemployment, inaccessibility to physical and social infrastructure, unawareness,
lack of community participation in the development process and other social and
economic issues.

II. Physical Vulnerability

Physical vulnerability is determined by the aspects such as population, remoteness
of a settlement, the site, design and materials used for housing and critical
infrastructure.
Physical features in a community, such as insufficient basic infrastructure,

especially water supply and sanitation, as well as inadequate health care facilities
and supplies, are also expressions of increased vulnerability.
Physical factors to be considered for vulnerability assessment include the variables

directly or indirectly related to the location and nature of the built environment. In
case of natural hazards physical factors have direct impact on the structures and
further define the vulnerability of the physical structures.
Houses condition in the State
House is one of the important basic needs of human being. Condition of

houses became very important indicator for determining physical
vulnerability because week buildings are very much prone to damage.

Slum
Urban population in Punjab is estimated to have reached nine million by the
year 2001, with two cities- Amritsar and Ludhiana figuring in the million plus cities.

Punjab has the highest per capita income in the country, despite that; one fourth of
the urban population in the state resides in slums.
The existing studies indicate that emergence of slums in Punjab is essentially the:-
1. Product of demographic growth in the cities.
2. Inability to meet the housing demands.
3. Existing urban land policies which prohibit the access of the poor to the
urban land market.

CHAPTER III
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND MITIGATION PLAN
3.1 Introduction
The State Plan for preparedness and mitigation attempts to protect the lives and
properties of the people of Punjab from potentially devastating hazards. The
initiatives under this plan lay down certain objectives and suggest definitive
strategies leading to the achievement of goals in a set time frame. The ultimate
goal for the Government of Punjab with respect to various hazards is to have
prepared communities in a way that when the hazards strike, there is little or no
loss of life; least number of injuries and the losses to property and infrastructure
are not critical.
Each element in this plan has a specific role and significant contribution towards the
end target of a safer Punjab. All the elements attend to a distinct but interrelated
with the area of concern. The plan rests on the conviction that well defined
strategies, goals and end targets with identified players, roles and responsibilities
are the precursors of successful implementation of any project. The strategies for
hazard loss reduction aim at reducing losses in the event of a future occurrence of a
hazard. Mitigation measures need to be considered in land use and site planning
activities. Necessary mitigation measures need to be built into the design and
costing of development projects.

3.2 Disaster Preparedness
Preparedness and focuses on plans to respond to a disaster threat or occurrence. It

takes into account an estimation of emergency needs and identifies the resources
to meet these needs. It also involves preparation of well-designed plans to
structure the entire post-disaster response, and familiarising the stakeholders,
particularly the communities through training and simulation exercises.
Preparedness has to be supported by the necessary legislation means a readiness
to cope with disasters or similar emergencies which cannot be avoided.
The first objective of preparedness is to reduce the disaster impact through

appropriate actions and improve the capacity of those who are likely to be affected
most (that is,
marginalised, poor and handicapped) to get maximum benefit out of relief. The
second is to ensure that ongoing development continues to improve the capacities
and the capabilities of the system to strengthen preparedness efforts at community
level. Finally, it guides reconstruction so as to ensure reduction in vulnerability. The
best examples of preparedness activities are the development of local warning and
community evacuation plans through community education, evolving local response
structures such as Community based Disaster Management Teams (DMT) and
administrative preparedness by way of stockpiling of supplies; developing
emergency plans for rescue and relief.
Since disasters affect economic and social processes, preparedness and mitigation
must emphasise the socioeconomic rather than just the physical aspects. If
disasters demonstrate the vulnerability of the social system, then any policy for
disaster management must include the potential reduction of such vulnerability.
3.2.1 Important Components of Preparedness Plan
Generally community preparedness depends upon following four major

components:
1. Population characteristics (number of children, squatter settlement etc)

2. Building and critical infrastructure such as road, drinking water,
communication network, health and sanitation
3. Physical environment
4. Social environment (social groups)
In view of these components risk assessment study has been conducted and
identified that Punjab is densely built and consists of a high number of urban
population. Any major flood, earthquake or fire/chemical explosion can affect
district very badly. Although various steps have been taken by the Punjab
Government but still a high degree of awareness and training is required to lay
down an organization system within communities.
Looking at the complexity of repose mechanism during disasters two sets of
components have been studied to prepare this plan i.e. components of community
preparedness and administrative response.
3.2.2 Components of Community Preparedness Plan
Several previous attempts have been made by researchers to measure

community preparedness within various indicators. Some of the important
components of measuring preparedness are given below (refer fig 1)
ü Physical Safety: i.e. how safe community members are in view of the
physical danger from these hazards? The parameters essentially tries to
measure how effective structural mitigation measures are e.g. resistance of
building structures for earthquakes, availability of safe shelters and its
capacity etc.
ü Hazard awareness i.e. awareness level about hazards which have a
reasonably higher probability of occurrence
ü Organization preparedness i.e. how far the community is organized to
face a disaster i.e. existence of committee at community level, task forces,
volunteers of civil defence and other local volunteers , trained disaster
management teams and community disaster management plan etc

ü Infrastructure and services which tries to measure current state of these
services and how well restoring critical services as and when disruptions
occur
ü Recovery ability i.e. ability of the community members to recover from the
impact of the hazard
ü Physical environment i.e. state of environment to face hazards e.g.
Condition of sub-surface aquifers and vegetation etc
ü Social capital i.e. degree to which social networking and cooperation exists
among community members
ü Psychological preparedness i.e. how safe and prepared do community
members feel in view of these hazards
ü Cultural capital i.e. cultural richness such as existence, recognition and use
of traditional mechanism to cope with such disasters
ü Household preparedness i.e. preparedness at a house hold members
3.2.3 Components of Administrative Preparedness
Administrative preparedness is also an important component which helps in
reducing relief and response time in a disaster situation. Preparedness plan is
based on below-given components
1. Operation readiness of facilities, equipments and stores in advance.

2. Maintaining response inventory of equipments and materials required for
response.
3. Assignment of responsibilities to agencies and organizations.
4. Management training of crisis group members, desk officers and officers of
respective departments likely to be assigned management duties.
5. Specialized trainings of district disaster committee members, officials,
community organizations through seminars and workshop.
6. Training of taskforces.
7. Raising community awareness.
8. Improving response mechanism through conducting practice drills etc.
9. Annual updating of State, District and community level plans.

3.3 Preparedness Plan for Punjab
Based on above-mentioned components following arrangements are required to

enhance State level preparedness level.
3.3.1 Establishment of State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC): To

ensure coordination within State, district and local authorities, SEOC plays a very
important role. Directing the operations at the affected site, the need for
coordination at the district headquarter and the need for interaction with the state
government to meet the conflicting demand at the time of disaster are the
responsibilities of the Divisional/Deputy Commissioner and his team members.
State/ District SEOC helps Incident Management Team to meet these conflicting
demands. Keeping this in view, Punjab has identified 2 State level Emergency
Operations Centres and nine Emergency Operations Centres for all the districts. At
present, these Operations Centres are temporarily running in all the Districts and
State but there is a plan for further strengthening the SEOC building with
equipments, manpower and other facilities. Below, important activities of SEOC
have been described.
(a) Normal Time Activities of Emergency Operations Centre
· Ensure warning and communication systems are in working conditions

· Collect and compile of district-wise information related to hazards, resources,
trained manpower etc.
· Conduct district, sub-division and community level mock drills
· Generate coordination within Community, District and State level
departments
· Monitor and evaluate community (Residential colonies, schools, hospitals,
institutions, business establishments) level disaster management plans
· Develop a status report of preparedness and mitigation activities under the
plan
· Allocate tasks to the different resource organizations and decisions making

related to resource management
· Review and update response strategy
· Supply of information to the state government
(b) Facilities with EOC

Presently, the Emergency Operations Centres in districts and state are equipped
with computer related facilities. In future, EOC would include a well-designed
control room with workstation, wire-less communication, hotlines and intercoms
etc. Following other facilities will be made available within the EOC:
· A databank of resources, action plans, state and district disaster management

plans, community preparedness plans would be maintained at EOC
· Maps indicating vulnerable areas, identified shelters, communication link system
with state government and inter and intra district departments would
strengthened
· Inventory of manpower resources with address, telephone numbers of key
contact persons has been maintained
· EOC will have provision of desk arrangements in advance
· Frequently required important phone numbers would be displayed on the walls
so that they can be referred. Other phones and addresses would be kept under a
easy-retrieval and cross-referring system
· Reconstruction/ Retrofitting of building will be done so that it can remain
operational during disaster also.
· EOC will be made operational for 24 hours with the help of Police, Fire and Home
Guard Department
(c) Communication Room (Main Message Room)

The police wireless system should be in contact with EOC. In addition to that
following facilities would be available in the communication room:
- Telephones, fax and intercoms units for contact within the Commissioner
- Civil wireless network (up to tehsildar level-suggested)

- One computer with internet and printer facility and photocopying machine
- Help lines numbers will be setup for emergency related queries
(d) Transport Facility

A jeep with wireless communication may be assigned to the EOC for normal times.
Additional vehicles may be requisitioned during the emergency.
(e) EOC Staffing/Manning EOC
Manning of EOC is required for making EOC operational during and post disaster
situation. district there would be a need of keeping adequate staff. There is a need
of regular staff, staff-on requirement and staff-on disaster duty. Regular staff is
required to manning communication room on 24 hours. Staff on call can be
acquired immediately on requirement. Two officers of the rank of DC/ADM can be
appointed during emergency. Staff on disaster duty can be appointed by Deputy
Commissioner. This staff can be drawn from the various government departments.
(f) Desk arrangement

In case of emergency Incident Commander/Deputy Commissioner and other
team members would be present round the clock in the office in EOC. Senior
officers should be appointed in the capacity of desk officers for maintaining
coordination for Emergency Support Functions.
3.3.2 Preparation of Resource Inventory

In a scenario of total damage due to disasters like earthquake, all communication
system disrupts and disaster managers become armless in fighting the calamity. To
overcome such obstacle, Government of India has developed disaster management
portals which facilitate the disaster managers and administrates to track down
resource stocks in the country or at least in the neighbouring area. This Website,
called www.idrn.gov.nic.in, basically intended to gather data from the
government resources. Data are collected from local units and line departments and

uploaded by the District Administration after verification and scrutiny.
Each government department in the district shall take part in updating this portal
regularly. They shall give information on fresh procurement of equipments,
manpower and technologies to the Emergency Operation Centre, Patiala in the
prescribed format at least biannually.
3.3.3 Reliable Communication Systems
Punjab has well-established communication system but yet disasters like

earthquakes has witnessed partial or total collapse of general communication
system which delays flow of information from the disaster site consequently
resulting delays in relief operations. Therefore, establishment of reliable
communication also plays a very crucial role. Till now, Police Communication
System has been found most suitable to rely upon. The plan also seeks for
installation of satellite phones and HAM equipments in the EOC for strengthened
communication system in all nine district offices and state headquarter office.
Training to volunteers of home guards would be provided in HAM operations.
3.3.4 Preparation of a Response Plan
One of the important tasks during preparedness phase is formulation of a response

plan. It basically helps in quick mobilization of manpower, resources and in
performing various duties. The response plan explains a hierarchal system of
Emergency Response Functions in-term of tasks and assigned responsibilities to
different agencies. It also lay down an Incident Command System under the
directions of Deputy Commissioner of every district or divisional Commissioner
(depending upon the extent of disaster). This whole exercise will help in reducing
confusions and result in prompt and coordinated response. Activation of trigger
mechanism by Incident Commander, Functioning of EOC and Response of
Emergency Support Functions can be tested every year for resolving perplexity

occurring during actual scenario. Broad details of response plan have been included
in the Chapter 5.
Disaster Management is a multi-organizational effort requires training on execution
and coordination related subjects. Therefore wide ranges of trainings related to
management and planning skills are highly required for potential officers in order to
equip them for specialized disaster-related tasks.
Training requirements are likely to comprise of core activities of emergency

management such as Incident Command System, Emergency Response Functions,
basic management skills and specialized training on search and rescue, first aid etc.
Persons to be trained shall be:
• Government Officers at par with the rank requirement under Incident
Command System
• Team leaders and members of Emergency Support functions Quick Response
Teams at headquarter and field level
• Community level taskforces including Volunteers, NGOs and home guard
volunteers, school and college students, NCC and NSS scouts and NYKS etc
Punjab Government has conducted 7 training programmes and total 22544 persons
are trained which is given in Annexure V. Punjab State Disaster Management
Authority shall continue organizing several seminars and workshops with the help of
various research institutions, Civil Defence and Home Guard, Fire fighting
department, Health departments etc. A record of trained manpower shall be

maintained by each department and their representation shall be noticed during
mock-drill.
CAPACITY BUILDING

The Department has the funds from XIII FC for training and capacity buildings. The
Department has made the Annual Work Plans for the XIII FC funds for the years
2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. These Annual
Work Plans are given as Annexure V. The proposals from different departments for
training and capacity building would be reviewed and sponsored from XIII FC Funds
or the State Disaster Response Fund.
Formation of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF)
As per section 44 of the Disaster Management Act 2005, GoI has constituted NDRF
[National Disaster Response Force], a battalion of which has been stationed at
Bhatinda. The Act envisages creation of SDRF on the analogy of NDRF. The meeting
of State Executive Committee held on 15-02-2011 has
approved AWP 2011 under which there is proposal to create State Disaster
Response Force taking 50 personnel including 10 as leave/ training reserves to be
supported from 13th Finance Commission’s Capacity Building Programme for 4 years
and to be under the administrative control of Director, Disaster Management,
Punjab and under the supervision of Director General, Home Guard. The budget for
the salaries of these personnel would be incurred by the Department of Disaster
Management, Punjab. The responsibility to select the candidates is to be given to C-
PYTE and the authority for the same shall be granted / forwarded through Principal
Secretary, Employment Generation and Training, Punjab.
Organization Structure
The Department of Civil Defence will appoint from amongst their staff a Company
Commander rank Officer and 2nd Officer in Command to head the SDRF.
The Department of Civil Defence will prepare this force on the lines of National
Disaster Response Force [NDRF]. They will coordinate with the training agencies,
conduct training in their own institute and ensure that the force is available for
operational purposes within six months from the date of joining.

District Disaster Response Force/ Master Trainers for Communities
The department is conducting the process of formulating Disaster Response Force in

all the 20 districts of Punjab.
The district disaster response force would be fully trained and fully equipped Teams
who can serve as master trainers for communities during peace times. The districts
are in the process of identifying a team of 30 Volunteers interested, able youth who
are partly employed or unemployed from Nehru Yuva Kendra/C-PYTE etc. who can
be trained and those found good can be designated as District Disaster Response
Force [DDRF]. These persons would be in-charge of handling the rescue equipment
placed in the districts.
These persons would be imparted basic training in flood rescue, first aid and dos
and don’ts during fire accidents and earthquakes. So, 3 types of trainings, would be
conducted first flood rescue training through NDRF or Civil Defence, Secondly 3
days First Aid Training through St. John Ambulance and District Red Cross Society
and Third is one day training on Dos and Don’ts during Earthquake, Fire and other
disasters. All the districts have volunteered to provide 30 persons. The training
venues for flood rescue training are as follows:

The training of District Disaster Response force has already been conducted for two
districts. The department plans to conduct trainings of all the 20 district disaster
response teams by October 2011.
Purchase of Equipment
The Department plans to procure inflatable lighting towers for effective night time
operations. These inflatable lighting towers have inbuilt Genset and can operate for
10 hours. It is proposed to buy one for each district and two for State Disaster
Response Force (22 in total).
The Department is processing the purchase of 22 motor bikes loaded with Water
Mist Foam Fire Extinguishers. These motor bikes would be used to reach the narrow
lanes of Punjab where fire brigade vehicles can not reach. Out of these 22

motorbikes 20 would be provided to the DDMA (1 each for each district) and the
rest 2 motor bikes would be provided for the SDRF.
The Department plans to buy three Aerial Ladders for search and rescue operations
in Punjab. These aerial ladder would be one each for the districts Ludhiana,
Amritsar and Jalandhar. The first aerial ladder would be purchased soon and based
on its performance the next two aerial ladders would be purchased.
Besides the department has identified some other search and rescue equipment to
be purchased like lifting bags to lift any collapsed structure including overturned
vehicles where space is not available to use other equipment.
Apart from these the Department is also in the process of purchasing 4 Inflamable
Boats, 100 Life Jackets with reflectors, 16 Life Buoys, 2 Water Rescue Rockets, 16
Ropes (ordinary 15 m Length), 2 Temporary Shelters and Diving Kits.
3.3.6 Community Awareness and Community Preparedness Planning
The hazard and risk analysis of the state indicates that there is a high need of
community awareness through public awareness programmes on the following
themes of disaster:
- Types of disasters and basic do’s and don’ts
- Post disaster epidemic problems
- Construction and retrofitting techniques for disaster resistant buildings
- Communication of possible risk based vulnerable areas in the district
- Evacuation related schemes and community preparedness problems
- Non-structural mitigation measures
Volunteers and social organizations shall also play a vital role in spreading mass

scale community awareness. Media shall also play an important role in raising
awareness and educating people. Punjab Government shall develop large scale
Information Communication and Education material in the form of booklets,
handbooks, manuals, posters and flyers etc. These documents shall be distributed
in all the offices, schools, institutions and residential colonies.
Community Disaster Management Planning is one of the vital components of
community preparedness. It involves all important parameters related to hazard
awareness, evacuation planning, and preparation of resource inventory, formation
of community level taskforces and committees which will enhance capacities in
communities in combating a disaster in a predefined manner.
District authorities shall keep on fostering community planning exercises in local

areas. District administration has also been imparting trainings to the communities
with the help of Civil Defence and Home Guards, Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangthan, St.
John Ambulance Brigade, Indian Red Cross Society and NGOs etc. Yet more steps
required to be undertaken for encouraging community based disaster management
planning initiative (refer Table 5.1).
3.3.7 Capacity Building of Community Task forces
District administration, Medical officers, Trained volunteers, Punjab fire Services,
Civil Defence and Home Guard volunteers, NYKS etc. are responsible for building
capacities of community taskforces in search and rescue, fire-fighting, warning
dissemination, first-aid and damage assessment etc.
District level Medical Officer shall organize seminars for training taskforces and
volunteers in basic first-aid with the help of Civil Defence & Home Guard. Punjab
Fire Service along with Civil Defence & Home Guard shall impart training on search
and rescue and fire fighting.

3.3.8 Simulation Exercises
To encourage participation in a coordinated manner simulation exercises on various
disasters are very important. These exercises help in institutional building at
various levels. Mock-exercises shall be promoted at state, district and community
level. Those community members have completed their disaster management plans
and have constituted several taskforces shall conduct regular mock-drills. At least
two mock-drills shall be conducted by community representatives to improve and
update plan.
Smilarly, once State response plan is ready, mock-drills shall be organized by
State Government. Mock exercises help in improving response time and also test
reliability. Therefore at least one mock-drill shall be arranged involving all required
agencies. These drills will also help in updating the response plans. Punjab
Disaster Management Authority/ District Disaster Management Committee are
responsible to conduct yearly mock drills and update plans.

3.4 Disaster Mitigation
Disaster mitigation focuses on the hazard that causes the disaster and tries to
eliminate or drastically reduce its direct effects. The best example of mitigation is
the construction of dams to prevent floods or coordination of release of water
from various irrigation dams to avoid flooding in the downstream areas. Other
examples include strengthening buildings to make them earthquake resistant,
planting of crops that are less affected by disasters, controlling land-use patterns
to restrict development in high-risk areas and diversification of economic
activities to act as insurance to offset losses in different sectors.
A mitigation strategy however, cannot be successful unless it has the backing and
support of all concerned – the administrative machinery, the research

institutions, the non-officials and the community. So, it also becomes imperative
to have built-in institutional arrangements and/or legislative backing to oversee
the mitigation strategy over a period of time.
The main elements of mitigation strategy which can further broadly divided into
non-structural and structural mitigation measures are:
(iii) Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis
(iv) Applied Research and Technology Transfer
(v) Public Awareness and Training
(vi) Institutional Mechanisms
(vii) Incentives and Resources for Mitigation
(viii) Land Use Planning and Regulations
A better disaster management with minimum vulnerability is possible only by means

of preparedness and mitigation measures. Maximum the disaster preparedness,
minimum the vulnerability. Neither a disaster can be prevented nor diverted to any
other place. The only possible thing is to minimize the effect.

The changing concept of disaster management has taken its birth. Today there is a
paradigm shift in the approach to disaster management from a culture of relief and
rehabilitation to that of preparedness and mitigation. In Punjab State, there shall be
two approaches in disaster mitigation viz. structural mitigation and non-structural
mitigation.
3.5 STRUCTURAL MITIGATION MEASURES
It is immensely pivotal for the planning community to respond towards disaster

management positively. Urban disaster management is intimately connected to the
wholesome process of urban development and therefore needs a sincere
incorporation in the development planning itself.
The industrial relocation/location, unauthorized-regularization issue, slumming, over

densification and continuous influx of population to State are some of the open
concerns and that besides a planning challenge it is a concern for disaster
management.
The state shall take steps for structural mitigation of disaster management. The
departments that are associated with development of residential and commercial
plots shall strict the NOC norms. The Building codes shall be strictly enforced in the
state. Only seismically oriented engineers, contractors and masons shall be given
certificates for multi story constructions and real estates. Simultaneously retrofitting
is to be promoted with the expert advice. The possible two structural measures for
disaster protection are Retrofitting of the existing building and Earth Quake
Resistant new construction.
3.5.1 Retrofitting
For an existing building, Retrofitting or Seismic Strengthening is the only solution to

make it disaster resistant. In Punjab State, all lifeline buildings such as major
hospitals, Schools with large space for storage, state administration offices and
other vital installations shall be retrofitted in the first phase. In the second phase
all other significant buildings shall be given priority for seismic strengthening. Before
carrying retrofitting, a panel of experts shall be approached for assessing the
structure and to suggest the type of retrofitting required.
3.5.2 Earth Quake Resistant Construction
Promotion of Earth quake Resistant construction mainly includes construction safety,

quality control and inspection. In the previous decades, there were no specific
guidelines on EQ resistant constructions and seismic strengthening. Due to the very
fact, most of the buildings till 1990s were built without any safety measures. But in
the present scenario, there are building byelaws and guidelines. Civic Bodies like
MC, PUDA, and PWD in the state shall try to enforce these laws.

All construction except load bearing buildings up to 3 storeys shall be carried out
under the supervision of the Construction Engineer on Record or Construction
Management Agency on Record for various seismic zones. They shall be given a
certificate based on the norms on completion of the construction.
All the constructions for high-rise buildings higher than seven story’s, public
buildings, and special structures shall be carried out under quality inspection
programme prepared and implemented under the Quality Auditor on Record or
Quality auditor agency on Record in Seismic Zones IV and V. SDMA shall look in to
this aspect and ensure that such prerequisites are completed and observed by the
concerned agencies and construction engineers.
Illegal constructions, Encroachments, unapproved additions, alterations etc of

residential buildings and conversion of residential building in to commercial purpose
etc shall be checked by the State Administration with strict measures. These
unauthorized activities may lead to disasters in that particular area.
3.5.3 Afforestation
The first and foremost step to control flood is to look into the basic causes of
inundation. It is rather obvious that the root cause behind the high surface runoff
resulting in floods in high intensity of rainfall. Man can not interfere with rainfall but
he can delay and reduce the surface runoff. This can be done through the large
scale reforestation and afforestation in the catchment areas of the river Ghaggar,
Sutlej, Ravi and Beas and its tributaries. Thich vegetal cover will intercept the
raindrops and will encourage more infiltration of water resulting into the reduction
of the amount of runoff in river Ghaggar and its tributaries. It will also reduce the
soils erosion and siltation of the water reservoirs and beds of the streams.
3.5.4 Multipurpose Dams
The state of Punjab has four major rivers namely Sutlej, Ravi, Beas and Ghaggar.
The rivers like Beas, Ravi and Sutlej have been channelized and multipurpose dams
have been constructed on them except river Ghaggar. That’s why area along river
Ghaggar is more prone to floods. After the construction of reservoirs on these rivers
of Punjab it has been proved that reservoirs can moderate the intensity of the
floods. The cost of providing storage for flood management is always very high but
the water stored for flood management is always very high but the water stored
can be put to various uses such as irrigation, production of hydroelectricity etc. that
can provide higher direct and indirect returns to meet that cost. The Punjab State
has only seasonal streams but discharge in these streams is considerable to create
devastations during the monsoon. So to control high volume of water during flood
stage storage of reservoir is proposed at Ghaggar River at Chandi Mandir near
Panchkula. Haryana government has also identified this site for the construction of
a dam on river Ghaggar but the proposal is still enclosed in the files.

The construction of dams has mitigated the flood problem to a large extent.
However the tributaries of the rivers downstream of the dams which bring in heavy
discharges, like river ujh and bastanta Nallah outfall in river ravi. Various beins
outfall in river beas and siswan, swan nadies outfall into river Sutlej results into
floods in case of flash floods in these tributaries.
3.5.5 Watershed Management
Three small storage reservoirs are also suggested to be constructed on Tangri Nadi
and river Markanda near village Jatwar, village Mulana and village Nurpur of the
district Ambala respectively and their water should be diverted towards river
Yamuna as the water of Patiali Rao is diverted to river Satluj through Jainta Devi Ki
Rao and Siswan Nadi. Before constructing these structures a proper watershed
management programme should be designed. A detailed study is also
recommended for the identification of other minor watershed in the Punjab state.
Timely cleaning, de-silting and deepening of natural water reservoir and drainage
channels (both urban and rural) must be taken up.
3.5.6 Embankments
Embankments confine the flood flows and prevent spilling thereby reducing the
incidences of flooding and associated damages. These are the oldest, the cheapest,
the quickest and most popular methods of flood protection. This method of flood
protection is also being adopted in the Punjab State. As in the Punjab State
embankments are protecting the Punjab State. However, the embankments also
aggravate the problems of floods if, they are not maintained properly and looked
after but if they are supplemented with the reservoir then these embankments are
very effective and can easily contain the residual floods. Dhussi bunds constructed
after the provision of reservoir on river Sutlej are protecting a large area in Punjab
floods.
Therefore, proper embankments should also be constructed in the Patiala District

on river Ghaggar and its tributaries after providing reservoirs. A few to mention
here are embankments on both sides of Ghaggar River in Patiala District.
Embankments on the left bank of river Ghaggar from village Bhankarpur upto
village Manauli in Dera Bassi block are also suggested. Patiala District comes in
their way. Apart from the construction of the embankments, maintenance,
strengthening and proper care of the embankments should be taken on priority
basis year. Proper inlets should be provided at a distance of 2 kilometers on each
and every embankment to take in the rainwater from outside of the embankment.
These inlets should be provided with proper sluice gates which prevent the back
flow of water. Otherwise breaches in embankments can cause much more
damages. The main advantage of embankments is their flexibility to protect either a
specific site or a larger area however; they can be sustained only if they are
properly and subsequently maintained adequately.

3.5.7 Improvement in Drainage efficiency
The drainage efficiency of the streams can be improved by the removal of

meanders and sinuosity in the channel. Sharp meanders in river Ghaggar, near
village Maru in Bhunarheri block should be removed immediately to improve the
smooth flow of water. Similarly, channels of Patiala Nadi particularly, downstream
of Patiala city and Tangri Nadi in Bhunarheri block in the Patiala District are also
very sinuous. These sections of the channels must be made straight for the free
flow of monsoon water.
3.5.8 Desiltation of Stream Beds
The stream in the Punjab State should be desilted properly before the onset of
monsoons every year. The weeds, shrubs, water hyacinth plant and silt should be
removed properly especially from the beds of the rivers in Punjab State. Every year
even the drainage department claims the removal of weeds and desiltation but it is
done only in files and not on the ground. The amount sanctioned should be spent
properly so, that these streams can carry their discharge within their banks.
3.5.9 Check on the Encroachments
The administration must put check on the encroachments of the channels. Small
rivulets like Sukhmana Choe, a tributary of Patiala Nadi and Tolewali Choe and
Umla Nala tributaries of Tangri Nadi should also be restored. The encroachments
along the Choti Nadi, Ganda Nala and Patiala Nadi in Patiala city particularly
between the Patiala Nadi and Urban Estate, Phase-II must be checked. The people
should be prohibited from constructing houses or other establishments in the low
lying area along the Nadi. These encroachments also create hindrances in the flood
management programmes like functioning of draglines, as desilting of Choti Nadi is
not possible due to the encroachment carried out right upto the bed. Revival of
these channels will be very helpful in carrying the high floodwater thus, saving the
areas from any kind of devastations.
3.5.10 Check on the Disposal
The discharge of polluted sewer waste and industrial waste in the streams should
also be checked because, such pollutants increase Biological Oxygen Demand
(BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and cause eutrophication which checks
the flow of water. The drainage department is liberal in granting permission to the
industry to dispose off the effluents in the streams. The only condition imposed is
that BOD of the effluents should not exceed 30 milligram per liter. The check is
imposed on the basis of a conditions set by Central Pollution Control Board. As per
Central Pollution Control Board, the BOD level of effluents for surface drainage
should not exceed 30 milligrams per litre because in perennial stream adequate

dilution is available and this amount of BOD will not change the character of the
stream. But the discharge conditions of the rivers in the Punjab State are exactly
opposite. The river is neither perennial nor is any kind of dilution is available
(Pollution Control Board, 2002). So the disposal of the untreated sewerage and
industrial waste should not be permitted in the streams to check eutrophication.
3.5.11 Improving the Capacities of Bridges/Aqueducts
The capacities of bridges and waterways under railways and roads should be
reviewed and updated. Such a review is very essential because lot of changes have
taken place in the catchment areas of the streams after their construction. The
deficiency should be removed. The road bridge on Pachis Dara near village Suron
should be widened. Similarly, Dakala Road Bridge, Daulatpur Bridge, Daroli Road
Bridge on Patiala Nadi near village Daroli should be made adequate for smooth flow
of water. In general the capacity of the bridges should be increased downstream of
all the streams of the Patiala District as the amount of discharge increases
downstream.
The problem of floods in the Patiala District is difficult to be managed without

concentrating on Satluj Yamuna Link Canal. The breaches occurred due to the
faulty design (across the slope) and incomplete aqueducts without maintenance are
playing destructive role during the monsoon period.
The aqueducts under Narwana branch canal and Satluj Yamuna Link Canal are not
only inadequate in number but also small in size to allow the free flow of water.
Moreover, the capacity of these aqueducts is further reduced by accumulation of silt
and wild growth that is seldom removed. Since, these canals are aligned across the
slope therefore, proper location, adequate size and proper functioning of these
aqueducts can save the area from seasonal flooding. These aqueducts should be
redesigned taking into account the discharge of high floodwater like the flood of
July 2010, particularly near village Lachru Khurd. Similarly, the aqueduct under
Bhakra Main Line Canal crossing river Ghaggar at Khanouri should be widened as
early as possible. The capacity of the present aqueduct is 15,000 cusecs, which is
insufficient against the abnormal flow during monsoon. The widening and regular
desiltation of this aqueduct will definitely save a large area of Patran block from
annual devastations.
3.5.12 Intra and Inter-State Coordination
The measures suggested above to solve the problem of floods in the Patiala District
will remain ineffective unless there is cooperation from the adjacent state of
Haryana. Therefore, unless adequate flood management measures are carried out
by the Haryana state the problem of flood in the Patiala District. However, a dam
proposed by Haryana government near Panchkula if constructed will certainly
provide relief from floods in the Patiala District. But it may create problem of water
utilization as both the Punjab and Rajasthan are also the beneficiaries of Ghaggar
water.

Therefore, an inter-state board may be constituted under the direction of Central
Government to carry out intensive watershed management in catchment area of
river Ghaggar and its tributaries not only to solve the problem of floods but also for
proper utilization of water that creates miseries in one part or the year after year.
Apart from inter-state cooperation inter-district understanding is also very essential

because, the flood protective measures adopted by Patiala district administration
and Sangrur district administration emerge as bone of contention between the two
administrations as, the flood protective measures taken by one district may
enhance the problem of flood in other district.
3.5.13 Water Harvesting Measures
The present study is not only confined to save the Patiala District from floods
but is also an effort made to suggest some measures to utilize the surface flow
through different harvesting measures. Apart from the watershed management
measures discussed above certain local level measures to utilize the available water
are also suggested as under:-
a) Water Harvesting Tank
Many small seasonal streams descending from the Shiwalik hills create the
problem of flash floods in the foothill areas. These streams gradually disappear
after traversing a few kilometers distance from the hills. The speed of water in
these streams is always so high that they wash away anything that comes in
their way. Thus apart from creating flood hazard large amounts of water also go
waste. It is therefore, suggested that water harvesting tanks should be
constructed to collect the water of these streams. Mangat, H.S. (1994) has
suggested these water harvesting tanks will not only save the Patiala District
from the fury of floods but they will also provide irrigation, improve sub-soil
recharge and enhance the possibility of aqua culture in agriculturally backward
areas of the district. Afforestation and construction of check dams in the
catchment areas is also suggested.
b) Injection Wells
To improve the subsoil water table, injection wells should be constructed along
the streams and canals. Ground water cell of Patiala district had already
experienced this process along Bhakra Main Line Canal at village Dhaneta of
Samana block. The department has constructed four injection wells with a
capacity of 10 liter per second each and operated in the winter season, when
when surplus water is available in Bhakhra Main Line Canal. They have observed
10 per cent less fall of water level in the year 2002 than in the previous years,
in that area. So such injection wells should be constructed along all the Ghaggar
river in the Patiala District. To check the problem of sedimentation, small tanks

should also be constructed before the injection wells apart from the already
suggested measures watershed management.
3.5.14 Other Structural Measure:
1. Revival of Bhupindera Sagar Lake
The lake Bhupindera Sagar created by Jhambo Wali Choe near town Patran must
be restored not only to protect a vast area of Patran block from floods but also
to restore the disappeared wetland biodiversity. Revival of Bhupindera Sagar
lake is very difficult and costly also. But nothing is costlier than human life and
annual devastations suffered by the people of this area. The state government
has been spending crores of rupees on flood protective measures like
embankments etc. apart from providing compensation every year in this area
since the disappearance of lake Bhupindera sagar. Being a depression no other
flood protecting measure will be effective. This lake will also be helpful in
recharging the ground water, which has gone down considerably after
disappearance.
2. Revival of Village Ponds
Encroachments and extinction of village ponds in the Patiala District should also
be checked at the earliest. Effort should be made for their revival as these can
contain considerable amount of rain water which otherwise will be available for
inundation. The water in these ponds can be utilized for different purposes.
Apart from this village panchayats can earn a good amount by raising fish in
these ponds and the amount earned can be spent on the developmental projects
of the villages.
3. Changing Crop Pattern also added to floods: Earlier the people in the
surrounding areas use to sow one crop only. The level of X-drainage works
were decided in such a way that it helped for the irrigation of barani crops.
The cross drainage work was kept at higher elevation to achieve spreading of
flood water on upstream to benefit the barani crops and altered the flow on
d/s. Now after green revolution the cropping pattern has changed with
double and even triple crops. The spreading of water, which was a necessity
at the time of construction of cross drainage works, now causes damage to
the crops. Previous boon has been turned to devastation.
4. Need for repair of SYL and new structures on SYL: It is necessary to

strengthen the embankments of Pachisdhara Nallah, strengthen the banks of
SYL. Construction of new syphons on SYL canal e.g. upstream Banur Rajpura
Road etc. Cleaning and repair of already constructed cross drainage works.
Complete the 3 abandoned cross drainage works of SYL canal. It would be
worth mentioning here that Government of Haryana is not maintaining the

capacity of SYL in its territory which adversely effects the flood situation in
Haryana. Due to decrease in capacity of canal in Haryana, the flood water
overtops and causes breaches in Haryana.
5. Situation around Narwana Branch: Similar situation is observed at siphon

of Narwana Branch. During the recent rains, the flood water overtopped SYL
canal and thus about 6500 cusecs flowed to Haryana after causing floods in
villages upstream of SYL canal. Similarly, about 80,000 cs of discharge
upstream of siphon of Narwana Branch caused floods in Punjab villages.
Since the capacity of the siphon at Narwana Branch is 50,000 cs. and
discharge was of higher magnitude, it caused breach in Mehdudan Bundh and
also caused breach in SYL canal. On that day, even flood water over topped
Narwana Branch at RD. 150000 but for a short duration and because of the
vigil of the field staff the mishap at this site was averted. As such it is
proposed to construct two additional cross drainage works at RD. 136000
and RD. 144500 of Narwana Branch
6. Hansi Butana canal should be dismantled.

7. Weighted discharge should be established for which Ghaggar section is to be
designed. It should not be less than 50,000 cusecs. Accordingly
channelization of river Ghaggar shall be done in the entire length of River
Ghaggar upto Sardulgarh in State of Punjab and also further in the portion
falling in the Haryana Territory. The proposal shall be got cleared from
Ghaggar standing committee.
8. Channelization and increase in capacity of Ghaggar in the State of Punjab
and also further in the portion falling in Haryana. The Channelization and
increase in capacity shall enable more water to be carried through the
cunnettee and prevent sheet flow in the adjoining areas out side the
cunnettee thus preventing floods.
9. Providing one way valve at outfall end of tributaries of River Ghaggar.
10.Utilizing accumulated water along Canal for irrigation.
11.Construction of regulating gate at outfall Sekhupura adaltiwala drain out fall
into Tangri Nadi is required. It will prevent the back flow of water during high
flood and prevent the submergence of the area.
12.Water logging:- There is a necessity of rehabilitation of 57 No. drains and
construction of 20 No. V.R. Bridges on these drains in Kahnuwan Bet Area,
rehabilitation of 12 No. drains of Chamkaur Sahib Block and rehabilitation of
3 No. drains in Sri Anandpur Sahib Block.
13.Constructing various flood protection works to check land erosion for

the safety of village Abadies and other strategic defence installation
along river Ravi in district Gurdaspur: In Gurdaspur district, the main
problem is the erosion of berms of the River on both sides due to meandering
of the river flow. Due to paucity of funds in the state the required flood
protection works for proper canalizing/taming the river current are not being
done. With the result massive erosion is taking place during every flood
season causing severe damages to agriculture land in side thr river bandhs

and river flow is coming closer to Dhusi Bandh. Large chunk of agriculture
land washed away. At such sides river flow has become a threat to life and
property of near by villages causing fear in the mind of people. If the
tendency of river is not checked at this site river may after damaging the FPE
will start flow through Naumnai Nallah which flows very close to river ravi.
There are number of alarming site created during the past floods which are
given in the Annexure A.Due to direct hit of river water in various complexes.
A spurs, studs and reventment etc. are required to be provided and some of
the existing works damaged due to their proper function during previous
floods are needed to be restored. The scheme is located on left and right
bank of river ravi in district Gurdaspur district in the state of Punjab.
14.Construction and Strengthening Flood Protection Works on river

Sutlej in District Ferozpur & Tarn Taran: The main problem is the flood
water of river Sutlej which flows through out of the length of Tarn Taran &
Ferozpur district. Due to paucity of funds in the state the required flood
protection works for proper canalizing/ taming the river current are not being
done, with the result massive erosion is taking place during every flood
season, causing severe damage to the agriculture land inside the river
bandhs, and river flows is coming closer to the bandhs which cause erosion
to Bandhs and river berms. At such sites flows has become threat to the life
and property of the nearby village, causing a fear in the mind of the people.
There are number of alarming sites created during the past floods where a
low discharge to the tune of 50000 to 140000 cusecs can create breach in
the bandhs. During the recent flood season of 2008, the discharge of only
1,10,000 cusecs D/s Ropar Headwork’s in river Sutlej has created no. of
breaches in Jalandhar districts and in Ferozpur district and made numbers of
sites vulnerable which may likely to breach even with low discharge. Hence it
can be easily observed about the fate of the state suring the high discharge
of 250000 to 300000 cusecs in river Sutlej. The position of existing bandhs is
miserable due to wear and tear during the past decade. There is no work to
maintain their design parameters due to paucity of funds. These bandhs are
required to be restored along with the flood protection works. The scheme is
located on left and right bank of river Sutlej in district Firozpur district in the
state of Punjab.
15.Construction of flood protection works along river Sutlej from RD

19817-65854 mtr of 1-R bandh, R.D. 0-18293 mtr of 2-R bandh and
R.D. 0-55373 mtr of 3-R bandh and Gidderpindi extension bandh Rd 0
to 6098 mtr and RD 14329-65854 mtr of 3-L bandh, 0-20122 mtr of
4-L bandh and 0-27439 mtr of 5-L bandh (D/S of Ropar Head Works
to U/s Harike Head Works) in district Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar
(Nawanshehar), Jalandhar, Kapurthala and Ludhiana: The main
problem is the erosion of berms of the river on both sides due to meandering
of the river flow. Due to paucity of funds in the state, the required Flood
protection works for proper canalizing/taming of the river current are not
being done, with the result massive erosion is taking place during every flood

season, causing severe damage to the agriculture land inside the river
bandhs, and at many places has eroded the bandh, and some breaches have
occurred in the past years. At such sites river flow has become a threat to
the life & property of the nearby villages, causing a fear in the mind of
people. There are number of sites with alarming situation created during the
past floods where even a low discharge to the tune of 20000 to 25000 cusecs
breach in the bandhs. During the recent Flood season of 2008, the discharge
of only 1,10,000 cusecs D/S Ropar Headworks in River Sutlej has created 3
No. beaches in Jalandhar & Ferozpur districts and made number of sites
vulnerable which are likely to breach even with low discharge. During the
flood season of 2010, even a low discharge of 20000 to 60000 cusecs D/S
Ropar which has run for almost 40 days has caused extensive damage to the
flood protection works i.e. stud, spur and eroded the main bandh at no. of
places. Due to continuous low and medium discharge from the Bhakhra
Reservoir of the meandering action continuously changed the course of the
river at many places which causes severe damage to the bandh. A number of
breaches had occurred in the bandh at no. of sites which were saved by
construction of ring bandh. Hence the fate of state can be easily be gauged
during the high discharge of 250000 to 300000 cusecs in river Sutlej. The
positions of existing bandhs are miserable due to wear & tear during the past
decade. In the past no works has been executed to maintain their design
parameters due to paucity of funds. These bands are required to be restored
along with the flood protection works. The scheme is located on left and right
bank of river Sutlej in district Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, Jalandhar,
Kapurthala & Ludhiana district in the state of Punjab.
16.Construction of flood protection works along left and right side of

river beas in district Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala: The main
problem is the erosion of berm of the river on both sides due to meandering
of the river flow. Due to paucity of funds in the state the required Flood
Protection Works for proper canalizing/taming the river current are not being
done, with the result massive erosion is taking place during every flood
season, causing severe damage to the agriculture land. River flow is coming
closer to the bandhs. At such sites river flow has becomes a threat to the life
& property of nearby villages, causing a fear in the mind of people. During
the recent flood season of 2008 discharge of about 90000 cusecs has passed
due to which sharp loops have been developed at different sites on left and
right side of river beas. To avoid further advancement of loops and to control
erosion, flood protection works such as A/spurs, spurs, studs and reventment
are required. The scheme is located on left and right bank of river Beas in
district Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur and Kapurthala.
17.Natural water retention Basins: Construction and protection of all the

flood protection embankments, ring bunds and other bunds. Dams and
levees can also be constructed which can be used as temporarily storing
space which reduces the chances of lower plains getting flooded.

18. Buildings on elevated area: The buildings in flood prone areas should be
constructed on an elevated area and if necessary on stilts and platform.
However, complete flood control in terms of structural methods of flood protection

are neither economically viable nor these are environment friendly. Therefore, non-
structural methods are becoming popular in mitigating flood disaster.
3.6 NON-STRUCTURAL MEASURES
The non structural mitigation is basically framed in such a way that the whole
population of the state will be sensitized on disaster management and their capacity
is developed to cope up with a hazardous situation.
3.6.1 Preparedness Methodology
Instead of waiting for a disaster to occur and then to manage it, this concept
envisages to make people part of the management process. The plan contains a
series of measures for preparedness in schools, colleges, hospitals, and all other
vital institutions and ultimately the community itself. In a disaster management
cycle, preparedness shall be the first step. People of a given area have to be guided
to prepare their own coping mechanism. For this the plan various activities and
reach out to the local level. The SDMA shall suggest apt and proper methodology for
preparedness on regular basis.
3.6.2 Sensitization/Awareness Campaigns
The state administration must reach out to the local residents and general public of
the state with various level sensitization programmes. Sensitization programmes
shall be conducted for schools, hospitals, colleges, communities, policy makers and
all other specific sectors including rickshaw pullers. Awareness on multi hazards and
dos and don’ts to solve it are most import and basic for a human being to save
him/herself. Disaster strikes everywhere everyone irrespective of land, caste, creed,
color, people, and gender. The basic information shall be given in forms of booklets
reading materials, audiovisual material etc. The broad objectives of such
programmes shall be as follows:
1. To bring awareness about disasters among the inmates of all institutions and
residents of all communities in Patiala.
2. To pave way for strict enforcement of building rules in construction departments
and contractors.
3. Preparation of Building Evacuation Plans and training the general public on basics
of self defence thereby building capacities of school authorities and saving lives in
the event of an Earthquake or Fire accidents or any other disaster.
4. To sensitize officers from the state Administration, Ministry of Education, Ministry
of Disaster Management, Patiala Police, GTB Hospital, Patiala Fire Service and all
other parallel agencies.

Different methods and techniques shall be utilized to spread awareness on disaster
in the state. Some sample techniques and methods are listed below:
• Public meetings and loud speaker announcements
• Group meetings of RWAs and other logical units
• Wall painting in the communities
• Distribution of reading materials to the general public
• Distribution of posters and other Information Education and Communication (IEC)
materials to children and community people
• Street plays, documentaries and films on the subject
• Use of electronic media, especially cable channels
• Quiz-painting competitions, special types of books, etc for students
• Any other means the DDMC feels apt and proper
A series of training programmes shall be organized for specialized groups like,

community level office bearers, teachers and principals, doctors and engineers,
architects and masons and builders and contractors etc. All walks of people shall be
trained. This can even be on construction of buildings and other structures earth
quake resistant.
Training Programmes
The annual work plan mainly consists of widespread training and awareness
generation programmes in all the state of Punjab. The Information Education and
Communication projects (IEC) to be thus undertaken by Government of Punjab are
described in the subsequent sections.
Community Training Programmes
The Department of revenue Rehabilitation and Disaster Management plans to carry

out total 1600 Community Training programmes in the state of Punjab till March
2012. The department would conduct 80 community training programmes in each
of the 20 districts. The District Disaster response Force would carry out these
trainings with the assistance from local NGOs, CBOs, individuals etc. The staff at
the district EOCs would coordinate the conduct of these training and the district
administration would be responsible for providing necessary support. Details of
community training programmes to be carried out are given as Annexure VIII.
College Training Programmes
The Department of Revenue Rehabilitation and Disaster Management plans to carry

out total 1600 Training programmes in the colleges/educational institutes in the

state of Punjab till March 2012. The department would conduct 80 such training
programmes in each of the 20 districts. The District Disaster response Force would
carry out these trainings with the assistance from local NGOs, CBOs, individuals
etc. The staff at the district EOCs would coordinate the conduct of these training
and the district administration would be responsible for providing necessary
support. Details of College training programmes to be carried out are given as
Annexure XVIII.
Train the Trainer Model for Schools
The Department of Revenue Rehabilitation and Disaster Management intends to

conduct programmes for train the trainer model for schools in Punjab. One such
programme would be carried out in each of seven flood prone districts viz. Patiala,
Sangrur, Mansa, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar and Moga. A programme would be
conducted for 4 teachers each from 10 schools. Out of these 4 teachers one would
be Physical Trainer, one would be Geography Teacher and the rest two would be
other active teachers of the school. At least one teacher would be female from each
school. The 40 teachers thus gathered would be given three days training on life
savings and Disaster Management. The teachers are then expected to impart the
acquired trainings to the students of their respective schools which will be
monitored by the EOC coordinators of the districts through the Principal. A budget
of 80,000 per training programme is allocated which includes Honorarium, Training
Material, Lunches, Tea, Travelling and lodging expenses of trainers and others.
3.6.4 Enforcing Existing Codes and Laws
Lists of codes are already in place to monitor the construction practices in the state.
Bureau of India Standards, national Building codes of India and subsequent
amendments in various acts provides sufficient legal protection to the enforcing
agencies for safe construction practices. In the Punjab State, the major government
bodies undertaking construction and grant permission to the private players’ viz.
MCP, PWD, DDA and Irrigation and Flood Control Department shall ensure that
structural safety measures are followed well. In the state the following general
structural safety codes shall be followed strictly:
1. IS: 456:2000 “Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforce Concrete”

2. IS: 800-1984 “Code of Practice for General Construction in Steel”
3. IS: 801-1975 “Code of Practice for Use of Cold Formal Light Gauge Steel
Structural members in General Building Construction”
4. IS: 875 (Part-2): 1987- “Design Loads (other than Earth Quake) for Building and
Structures, Part 2 Imposed Loads.

Structures, Part 3 Wind Loads.
Structures, Part 4 Snow Loads.
Structures, Part 5 Special Loads and Load Combination.
8. IS: 883:1966 “Code of Practice for Design of Structural Timber in Building”
9. IS 1904:1987 “Code of Practice for Structural Safety of Buildings: Foundation”
10. IS: 1905:1987 “Code of Practice for Structural Safety of Buildings: Masonry
Walls
11. IS: 2911 (Part 1) section 1: 1979 “Code of Practice for Design and Construction
of Pile Foundation Section 1
Part 1: Section 2 Based Cast-in-situ Piles
Part 1: Section 3 Driven Pre Cast Concrete Piles
Part 1: Section 4 Based Pre Cast Concrete Piles
Part 2: Timber Piles
Part 3: Under Reamed Piles
Part 4: Load Test on Piles
Besides the DDMC shall take appropriate decisions to enforce Codes for Earth Quake
Protection, Wind Storm protection, etc
3.6.5 Flood Plain Zoning
Flood plain zoning, which places restrictions on the use of land on flood
plains, can reduce the cost of flood damage. Local governments may pass laws that
prevent uncontrolled building or development on flood plains to limit flood risks and
to protect nearby property. Landowners in areas that adopt local ordinances or laws
to limit development on flood plains can purchase flood insurance to help cover the
cost of damage from floods. Flood plain zoning if carried out will also help in
reducing the expenditure on various structural measures to be adopted for flood
management. There is no flood plain zoning done in the State of Punjab.
3.6.6 Flood Proofing
Such measures help greatly in mitigation of disasters to the population in

flood prone area. It is essential combination of structural change and emergency
action without evacuation. A program of the flood proofing provides the raised
platforms as flood shelter for human beings and cattle, through raising the public
utility installations above flood levels. There is no flood plain proofing done in the
State of Punjab.
3.6.7 Flood Fighting
On receipt of flood forecasts, the flood forecasting stations (agencies)

disseminate flood warnings to the officials concerned and the people of the affected
area, to take necessary precautionary measures, like strengthening of the flood

protection and mitigation works, evacuation of people to safer places, etc. The
essential material is stocked in advance at appropriate places and measures for
distribution of supplies are initiated to mitigate the miseries. Every one or two years
Punjab State is prone to floods. There is a need of flood fighting but it is not done in
the Punjab State.
3.7 Early Warning and Dissemination System
In most disaster situations, the experience has shown that loss of life and property
could be significantly reduced because of preparedness measures and appropriate
warning systems. The importance of warning systems therefore hardly needs any
emphasis. Indiscriminate warnings may result in non-responsiveness of the people.
It is therefore necessary that with respect to every disaster a responsible officer is
designated to issue the warnings. Alert/Warning indicates the onset of a disaster for
which a warning system is essential. This system may range from alarms (e.g., for
fires), sirens (e.g., for industrial accidents) to public announcements through radio,
television etc. (e.g., for cyclones, floods). Other traditional modes of
communication (e.g. beating of drums, ringing of bells, hoisting of flags) are also
used in inaccessible areas.
The district administration is the prime agency responsible for issuing the disaster
warning. Additionally the technical agencies authorized to issue warning will also
communicate the same to the District Control Room and in case are mentioned
below.

3.7.1 Dissemination of Warning
• Communities in disaster prone areas are made aware of the warning

systems.
• All warning systems and technologies are maintained in working condition
and checked regularly.
• Alternate warning systems must be kept in readiness in case of technical
failure (e.g., power failure).

• Only the designated agencies/officers will issue the warning.
• All available warning systems should be used.
• The warning should to the extent possible be clear about the severity, the
time frame, area that may be affected.
• Warning statements should be conveyed in a simple, direct and non-
technical language, and incorporate day-to-day usage patterns.
• The do’s and don’ts should be clearly communicated to the community to
ensure an appropriate responses.
• Warning statements should not evoke curiosity or panic behavior. This
should be in a professional language devoid of emotions.
• Rumor control mechanisms should be activated.
• All relevant agencies and organizations should be alerted.
• Wherever possible, assistance of community leaders and organized groups
should be sought in explaining the threat.
• Once a warning is issued, it should be followed-up by subsequent
warnings in order to keep the people informed of the latest situations.
• When the disaster threat tiding away, an all clear signal must be given.
3.7.2 Communication and Warning
3.7.2.1 Current communication System
At present, there is no separate and independent communication network for

Disaster Management in the state. After renaming and reorganization of the
Department of Relief to that of Disaster Management, the prevailing and
conventional communication network is being used along with other State
Government Departments.
Existing communication network systems are PSTN, CELLULAR NETWORK & Broad-
Band network from State level to Gram Panchayat level.
WBSWAN system
VSAT network system is available from State Government level to Central

Government. At present the existing system of receiving and conveying the cyclone
warning system and other natural hazard reports are originated from the Indian
Meteorological Department (IMD) and then it is conveyed simultaneously to State
Disaster Management department, concerning District and Zilla Parishad authorities
and to the AIR & electronic (TV channels) and non-electronic media(newspaper).
Existing communication network systems are being used for this whole activity. The
Government administration and media depend on the existing telecommunication
network.
The population of the affected areas is dependent only on radio & TV broadcast.
3.7.2.2 Proposed Communication System

Apart from contingency planning, sustainable development process can mitigate the
hardships faced by the people due to disasters. This can be done through various
structural and non structural measures. Structural measures include strengthening
of embankments, anti-erosion work, village-raising, channel improvement through
desiltation, removal of obstacles from the drainage channels and reservoirs, etc. Of
the Non-structural methods, improved Communication System is a must.
Communication plays a vital role in the matter of rescue and relief operations in all
disasters. We should take steps to connect all the Gram Panchayats with sub-
divisional and district headquarters so that the District Magistrates receiving any
information of natural calamities, should be ideally communicated immediately to
the Principal Secretary, Department of Disaster Management and ensure rescue
/relief operation as early as possible.
The proposed Central Communication Network for Disaster Management will

connect the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC), District Emergency
Operation Centre (DEOC) and Block Emergency Operation Centre (BEOC). SEOC will
be connected to the DEOC and DEOC will be connected to the BEOC through
PSTN/CELLULAR/WBSWAN/VSAT as part of the said communication network. The
other technologies like INMARSAT, HAM radio, Loudspeakers, World Space Radio
Receiver (WSRR) system at different levels with fixed, nomadic and mobile
communication equipment shall also be considered.
In case, when the existing communication system breaks down due to natural
hazards (like, Tropical Cyclone), a Rapidly Deployable Communication system shall
be required for proper Disaster Management, which may includes various wireless
communication technologies like Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, etc. and the available existing
network will be used wherever possible. This network component shall be divided
into four network zones namely Frontier, Access, Backhaul, and Backbone. Frontier
network zones is the nearest reachable location from the core of disaster zone.
Using nomadic wireless communication components and mobile handheld devices
disaster related data shall be collected and transmitted via Wireless mesh network
to a Local information Repository. This mesh network along with Local information
Repository shall be called ACCESS Network. A copy of the received information in
the Local information Repository shall be transmitted to the Central Information
Repository partly via a long range communication link using WiMax /WiFi link with
High Gain antennas (the Backhaul Network) and partly via existing communication
network like (Cellular/ WBSWAN/PSTN/ VSAT) (Backbone Network , Backhaul
network will merge to it). The received information at the Central Information
Repository can further be divided to different departmental Network via Internet/
LAN/WBSWAN. Also INMARSAT terminals can be used at disaster site.

Following is the complete network architecture in picture:

3.7.3 Communication Procedures shall be established by the entity
and regularly exercised to support the program.
The following communication facilities should available in the control room of EOC.
• Telephones.
• Intercom units for contact within control room.
• Police Wireless
• Civil Wireless
• VSAT connection to the Divisional Commissioners and Collectors
with video-conferencing facilities
• Hotline
• One Mobile with the Relief Commissioner
• Networking of Computers
• One PC with printer
• Photocopying machine
• Television unit
There should be phones, i.e. intercom, STD phone, EPBX extension, hotline etc., of
different colors, and with distinct rings, to enable them to be distinguished from
each other. The color codes for the telephone instruments should displayed on the
display board. An emergency light, fire extinguishers, and a generator for the
computer and fax machine should be provided in the control room.
During Disaster Hotlines from EOC should connected to

• Divisional Commissioner/s of the affected district/s
• District Collector/s of the affected district/s
• Superintendent of Police of the affected district/s
Each of the workstation should have
• an independent phone with STD facility

• intercom units for contact within control room.
• hotline connection for all Branch/Nodal officers to their
respective departments/agencies.
• Central secretarial facility for all Branch/Nodal officers should be provided in
the EOC.
A car with wireless communication should be assigned to EOC. Information on

additional vehicles requisitioned for the emergency should available with Logistics
branch. As you will see, the EOC is equipped with number of devices and
instruments which are crucial for establishing rapid contact and communication and
getting feedback from the disaster site.

It is therefore important that all the instruments and devices are in good working
condition all the time. To ensure this regular maintenance is being undertaken by
competent technical personnel through a contractual arrangement. The EDP
Manager is responsible for ensuring renewal of maintenance contracts and
attending to maintenance requirements. All requirements regarding maintenance
must therefore be reported to EDP Manager.
Establish communication links with
• Appropriate central government departments, agencies and institutions

such as railways, defense services, IMD.
• Police, fire brigade, PWD, MSEB, Irrigation, MWSSB, and all other
State department.
• Private donors.
3.7.4 Alert Procedure
The entity shall develop and maintain the capability to alert officials and
emergency response personnel.
Establish an on-going VSAT, wireless communication and hotline contact with the
Divisional Commissioner, and Collector so that warning message should flow
between state, district, and block rapidly. Any warning or alert received from any
agency which is competent to issue such warning, or on the basis of reports from
Divisional Commissioner/District Collector of the occurrence of a disaster, all
community preparedness measures including counter -disaster measures will be put
into operation. The Chief Secretary/Relief Commissioner will assume the role of the
Chief of Operations for Disaster Management.
In most disaster situations, the experience has shown that loss of life and property
could be significantly reduced because of preparedness measures and appropriate
warning systems. The importance of warning systems therefore hardly needs any
emphasis. Indiscriminate warnings may result in non-responsiveness of the people.
It is therefore necessary that with respect to every disaster a responsible officer is
designated to issue the warnings. Alert/Warning indicates the onset of a disaster for
which a warning system is essential. This system may range from alarms (e.g., for
fires), sirens (e.g., for industrial accidents) to public announcements through radio,
television etc. (e.g., for cyclones, floods). Other traditional modes of
communication (e.g. beating of drums, ringing of bells, hoisting of flags) are also
used in inaccessible areas.

The occurrence of the disaster will be communicated to
• Governor
• Chief Minister
• Finance Minister
• Minister-in-charge of Disaster Management
• MPs and MLAs from affected areas
• PMO
• Cabinet Secretary
• Secretary, Home
• Secretary, Border Management
• Joint Secretary, NDMA, Ministry of Home Affairs, GOI
3.7.5 Emergency Communications and Warning Protocols
Emergency communications and warning protocols, systems, processes,

and procedures shall be developed, periodically tested, and used to alert
people potentially impacted by an actual or impending emergency.
For efficient management of disaster different communication protocols should be

developed. For this satellite communication is a best way to provide communication.
Advantages of communications satellites are the inherent broadcast capability, high
bandwidth, reliability and flexibility in network expansion. Small transportable
terminals can be made operational very quickly. Recent developments in
communications and computer technology allow to provide low-cost equipment.
Communications satellites can play an important role in case of emergencies or
natural disasters. The combination of satellite communications and navigation can
support new services for emergency teams.
Satellites can be a vital communications element in case of emergencies or natural

disasters. The transfer of remote sensing and meteorological images, aerial
photographs and situation maps can be carried out at high speed. In parallel, voice
(telephony) and videoconferencing services may be utilized by decision makers.
Furthermore, the emergency teams get connection to the Internet as well as
Intranets to access databases, which are vital for their work. This implies that the
satellite network and its terrestrial tails should ideally all support the Internet
protocol suite. Data services, these days, are by definition using the internet
protocols (IP). Telephony is supported by voice over IP (VoIP), video services are
also provided on top of IP.
Effective communication system is essential for proper management of disaster. It will give on
one hand the warnings which will reach the target group at regular intervals with minimum time
delay, at times on real time basis, On the other hand it will be in use during disaster and post
disaster rescue and relief operations and during non-disaster period. There should be disaster
Communication Network connecting the SEOC, DEOCs and BEOCs for all the elements of the
Programme like Risk Assessment, Planning, Incident Prevention, Mitigation and
management, Crisis Communication, Public Information and Warning Dissemination.
Using effective and well managed communication system multiple organization like
various Government Organizations, NGOs can communicate to each other and
respond quickly depending upon the situation.

Flood Warning
Flood warning is also essential task of the civil administration responsible for
rescue, evacuation and relief operation. The proper flood warning can reduce the
damages and losses upto considerable extent. In Punjab State flood warning is done
through loudspeakers by the Sarpanch and/or patwari of the villages. Sarpanch
receives warning about the floods before 3 or 4 hours from the government when
water is discharged into the floods.
These are issued for different areas mostly by the Central water Commission/
Meteorological department and by the State Irrigation/ Flood Department.
However, an effective Warning System is one that can release warning in advance,
i.e. 72hrs, 48hrs and 24hrs. It can change the existing scenario substantially and
render informed decision making in adopting proper measures towards disaster
preparedness, mitigation, control, planning and management. This kind of advance
warning can help the authorities for better flood preparedness and also effective
flood mitigation. Therefore, initiatives have to be taken to modernize the operation
of Flood Forecasting & Warning by adopting the state of art technology and
integrating it into the forecast and warning dissemination process.
3.7.6 Flood Forecasting in Punjab
Arrangements are made with the Local Office of the Meteorological

department, Govt. of India, for weather forecast report. These reports will be
conveyed to the SEs of Drainage Administration through the Sinchai Bhawan Control
room for the safety of the embankment/dhussies. The present level of Bhakra Dam,
Pong Dam, RSD Dam as on 9.4.2010 are 1516.48 ft.(maximum level 1680.00ft.),
1297.69 ft.(1390.00 ft.), and 497.34 mt.(524.91 mt.) respectively. The maximum
water level attained during September, 2009 at Bhakra Dam, Pong Dam and Ranjit
Sagar Dam was 1638.97', 1339.48' and 502.26 mtr. respectively. It is
apprehended that these dams are likely to be get filled up due to the snow melting
in the catchment area of said dams and accordingly the releases on downstream of
dams may take place during coming rainy season.
Warning System from Bhakra and Pong Reservoir in the Case of Floods/
Rains
RIVER SUTLEJ
Following norms are maintained for the issue of flood warning as per
standing instructions issued by the Executive Engineer, Regulation, Irrigation
Branch Head Office, Chandigarh (Punjab) :-
Bhakra Beas management Board will issue flood warning to police wireless station at
Nangal when the releases below Nangal Dam exceed 50,000 cusecs and through
their own wireless systems to Chief Engineer, Drainage, Chandigarh. Executive
Engineer, Head Works, Ropar will convey warnings to the concerned District Civil
authorities and officers of the Drainage organizations whenever the releases D/s
Ropar exceed 80,000 cusecs (revised limit).

There are four hill torrents which outfall into river Sutlej D/s Nangal Dam. Two of
these i.e. Swan and Sirsa outfall U/s Ropar Head Works. During the Flood Season,
additional wireless sets will be installed at following sites:-
i) Sirsa On Nangal Hydel Channel Crossing Sirsa, Nadi.
ii) Siswan Nadi and Will be manned by deputing men at both sites but
Budki Nadi wireless set will be installed at Budki site where
Accommodation is available.
iii) Swan Near Una.
If the discharge in these rivulets exceeds 15000 cs. A 2-hourly

message conveying the flood will be issued to Director, W.Regulation, B.B.M.B.,
Nangal through wireless by the following officers:-
Sirsa and Swan Nadies, J.E. Drainage of Water Management Sub Division No.II of
Water management Investigation Division, Ropar.
Flood warning shall also be issued from Phillaur Railway Bridge through the existing
police wireless set of the concerned District Civil Administration to Irrigation and
Drainage Officers concerned for advance information whenever the flood exceeds
1,00,000 cusecs. The flood subsides below the limit stated above.
However, in case of high flood, warning will also be sent to the Financial
Commissioner Revenue, Secretary to Govt. Punjab Irrigation Department,
Chandigarh and Commissioners of Divisions.
RIVER BEAS
Information regarding water level, inflow and outflow at Pong Dam is received at
the Sinchai Bhawan Control Room from the B.B.M.B Authorities, and is included in
the daily flood report sent to the State Flood Control Room. The D/s site at
Naushera Mirthal and Dhilwan are manned by the staff of the Executive Engineer,
Discharge Division, Mohali who also sends the information to the Sinchai Bhawan
Control Room.
System of Flood Warning Signals In Punjab
Flood protection Embankments have been constructed along major rivers, choes
and nadies with a total length of about 1800 Kms in the state. The embankments
are designed for flood discharge of a specified return period (as per Rashtriya Barh
Ayog a return period of 1 in 25 years as recommended keeping in view the high
investment cost for higher return periods). The embankments are liable to be
overtopped during exceptionally high floods. The embankments are liable to
damage due to change in river course where the water current suddenly changes
direction. In such cases breaches can occur causing flooding of area adjoining the
embankments. As such, flood warnings have to be issued to all areas along with the
rivers, near the affected embankments.
A system of warning signals to be followed in case of floods in Punjab State,

predetermined gauge/discharge sites is proposed. Three categories of warnings
signals are proposed to be issued by the District Authorities after they receive
information of the Drainage Administration at Divisional level or directly from the
authorized officer. These signals can also be given as per local conditions in case of
threatened isolated reaches.

Table 42: System of Flood Warning Signals
BLUE Signal Start of Low flood range Issue of alert

YELLOW Signal Start of Medium flood range Ready for evacuation
RED Signal Start of High flood range Immediate evacuation
The red signal has to be given after assessment of the threat to the embankments
and trend of the inflow flood i.e. whether rising or falling. The signal for immediate
evacuation by the District Authorities is to confirmed from the State Flood Control
Room. Details of various control points in various reaches on different rivers are
given below:-

Chapter IV
Mainstreaming Concerns into Developmental

Plans/Programmes/Projects
4.1 Concept on Mainstreaming
Disaster impacts considerably all the sectors of development and thus results in a
serious social and economic setback to the development. On the other hand, the
process of development, and the kind of development choices made in many
countries, sometimes creates disaster risks. The intricate relationship between
disaster and development is outlined in the following Table.
Table 44: Relationship between Disaster And Development

vulnerability.
Further, mainstreaming is a cross-cutting issue which requires political

commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge and know-how, responsible
risk sensitive development planning and practice, a people-centred early warning
system and disaster response mechanisms. In addition, safeguarding human rights
and integrating gender concerns are central to achieving mainstreaming concepts at
the local and national level. Because disaster risks impact multi- sectoral
development activities (such as education, health, environment, governance,
employment and livelihoods) they influence development gains. So an assessment
of the extent to which these social domains consider natural or human-induced
factors of risks (existing and prospective) in the conceptualization and
implementation of programmes, is crucial. This also means that development
programmes need to assess whether a development project could cause/increase

risk of any kind of disaster in future and if necessary identify/introduce counter-
measures for risk control.
There is an emerging consensus that the key to achieving sustained reductions in

disaster losses lies in factoring risk considerations into both development and post-
disaster recovery activities. Managing risks could become a means of reducing
future disaster risks through ‘corrective’ development planning which ensures,
through measures such as land-use planning, building controls and others, that
development activity does not generate new risks.
The economic development which has a spin of effect on housing, education,

nutrition, health etc does help vulnerability reduction, however, there is always the
danger that unplanned growth of human settlements and unhindered exploitation of
natural resources especially would create new risks in the long run. Therefore
mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in development would be one of the most
challenging tasks of development planning in the coming years. Innovative tools
and methodologies have to be developed to ensure that development does not
create new disasters and that risks of disasters created by unplanned developments
in the past are reduced in the future. These tools have to be tested, further adapted
according to the local needs, capacities and resources and applied in a systematic
and sustainable manner through a participatory process.
a) Identification of development induced disasters
It is a well known fact that inappropriate development processes are contributing to

risk accumulation. There are many examples demonstrating how economic growth
and social improvement lead to increase in disaster risk. Rapid urbanisation is an
example. The growth of informal settlements and inner city slums, whether fuelled
by international migration or internal migration from smaller urban settlements or
the countryside, has led to the growth of unstable living environments. These
settlements are often located along flood plains or adjacent to noxious or dangerous
industrial or transport facilities. One such development has led to increase in risk
due to floods in state. This is true in other cities and towns as well and in rapidly
expanding small- and medium-sized urban centres. When population expands faster
than the capacity of urban authorities or the private sector to supply housing or
basic infrastructure, risk in informal settlements can accumulate quickly. Third, in
cities with transient or migrant populations, social and economic networks tend to
be loose. Many people, especially minority or groups of low social status, can
become socially excluded and politically marginalised, leading to a lack of access to
resources and increased vulnerability.
b) Developing guidelines on mainstreaming
All development projects should have mandatory guideline to address how exactly it
is going to implement DRR in terms of social and physical vulnerability. Risk can be
reduced by making efforts wherein either the vulnerability or exposure is reduced.
Risk can also be reduced by reducing the hazard probability. Similarly, the poverty
alleviation or education programme can also reduce the social vulnerability, thus
reducing overall disaster risk. Similarly limiting development is high risk area, it is
possible to reduce exposure, and thus overall risk is reduced.

c) Develop sector specific guidelines on mainstreaming
It is necessary that appropriate strategy is developed to mainstream DRR into

following specific sectors with clear cut guidelines and objectives. Some of the
suggestive sectoral guidelines could be as under:
Infrastructure: Public Works, Roads and Construction
• Promote use of hazard risk information in land-use planning and zoning

regulations.
• Conduct disaster risk impact assessments as part of the planning process before
the construction of new roads or bridges.
Housing: Urban and Rural Housing Development
• Encourage use of hazard-resilient designs (e.g. flood proofing, or seismic safety)

in rural housing programmes in hazard-prone areas.
• Promote utilisation of national building codes that have special provisions for
enhanced design standards for buildings in areas affected by natural disasters.
• Ensure compliance and enforcement of local building laws requiring prescribed
standards under natural building codes in urban hazard-prone areas.
Health
• To promote programmes to identify hospitals and health facilities that are located
in hazard-prone areas, analyse their internal and external vulnerability during
emergencies, and increase the hazard resilience of these hospitals through “Safe
Hospital” programme.
• To prepare and implement a Hospital Preparedness Plan for all such health
facilities.
Agriculture
• To promote effective programs of contingency crop planning to deal with year to

year climate variations.
• To promote effective programs of crop diversification including the use of hazard
resistant crops, to deal with shifts in climate patterns.
• To ensure sustainable livelihoods in areas of recurrent climate risks (i.e. arid and
semi-arid zones, flood and cyclone prone areas) by promoting supplementary
income generation from off-farm (e.g. animal husbandry) and non-farm activities
(e.g. handicrafts).
• To promote effective insurance and credit schemes to compensate for agricultural
related damage and losses to livelihoods due to natural hazards.
Education
• To incorporate DRR modules into the school curriculum.

• To construct all new schools located in hazard-prone areas to higher standards of
hazard resilience as has been attempted in Kashmir and Bhuj region under “Safe
School” programme.

• To add features in schools in hazard prone areas for use as emergency shelters
such as facilities for water, sanitation and cooking as envisaged in coastal areas as
possible cyclone shelters.
Financial Services
• To incorporate provisions in micro-financing schemes to have flexible repayments

schedules that can be activated in the event of recipients being affected by natural
disasters.
• To encourage the financial services sectors and local capital markets to develop
schemes for financing disaster risk reduction measures.
d) Carrying out of cross-sectoral risk analysis
Cross -sectoral risk analysis needs to be carried out at national, local as well as
regional level. Ongoing schemes across the sectors should be critically revisited and
wherever possible the development aspects of these schemes should be integrated
for a better result. This should be done in a futuristic mode with immediate medium
and long terms planning. For example, if a hydroelectric project is being
implemented, attempts must be made to assess the change in the hydrological
regime and it impacts on soil erosion. This would require a multidisciplinary
approach across sectors.
f) Creating techno-legal regime for mainstreaming
It is necessary that appropriate techno- legal mechanism is developed to implement

the regulations made with respect to DRR strategy. There may be a statutory
organisation responsible for the undertaking assessment on compliance and
implementation on ground. For example, the hydro-projects have a mandatory
provision of afforestation and it is imperative that it is implemented on ground and
proper assessment is done with respect to its positive impact.
h) Private-Public Partnership:
In the present scenario, it is visualized that more and more unorganized and
organized private sectors would play major role in developmental activities. It is
important to foster collaboration with private sector in a Public-Private partnership
to address the implementation of DRR in development initiative. This partnership
could play a key role in communication, infrastructure, market, health and many
others areas. Recently, a leading software industry in Hyderabad has demonstrated
a disaster response system for the citizens of the city which is operational 24/7 and
is fully endorsed by government.
i) Research and development:
It is one of the major elements of mainstreaming disaster mitigation/reduction into
development. R&D capacity in earthquake, flood, drought, climate change,
industrial, nuclear disasters and many other fields must identify areas and
strategies how to identify risk at early stage in a holistic manner and minimize it by
suitably integrating mitigation measures in to development model. Various
professional scientific organizations must reorient their programme to support the
safe developmental needs. For example the road development agencies, must take
into account the present requirement of mass transport and suggest suitable

infrastructure which is viable and environmentally sustainable.
a) Awareness generation, training and capacity building:
It is important to make aware all stake holders about the coupling of disaster and
development. It must be understood and communicated that there exist a
mechanism by which development can be implemented with DRR provisions. This
awareness will lead to public demand for disaster audit and in turn will ensure
sustainable development. It is important to note that awareness development must
be initiated at all levels starting from school curricula to basic training in safe
construction to advance project management. Capacity building through education,
training and mid career intervention using on campus as well as off campus model
must be implemented for quickly covering large manpower base. Building on
capacities that deal with existing disaster risk is an effective way to generate
capacity to deal with future risk arising out of new context which is often not
visualised.
b) Recognition of best efforts:
Recognition of efforts is one of the best incentives that promotes and attracts
many to emulate the good practice in implementing DRR in development. It
also acts as stimulant for the recipients to carry on the good work and
innovate ways the efforts will have far reaching results across the society.
Numerous such examples can be cited from drought management and poverty
alleviation programmes that are being implemented in western part of India
and have received international accolades.
4.2 Following Project/Programmes are taken by the State of

Punjab
4.2.1 National Disaster Communication Network (NDCN)
• Aims and objectives of the Project: Communication & IT support is absolutely

basic to disaster management. In fact communications are the first causality
during disaster. Vertical as also horizontal communications support need
considerable infrastructure for routine functioning and during live disaster
management. NDMA requires dedicated Communication & IT support for pro-
active disaster support functions including for early warning & forecasting.
The support has to be Converged (Voice, Video& Data), Adequate as also
Responsive. It also has to be multilayered-both for command & control as
also for execution and early warning/forecasting.
• Component-wise activities indicating structural and non-structural measures

(e.g. Infrastructure, Equipments and Stores, Capacity Building, etc):
The key components are as under –
i. Basic network including Standby; satellite based.

ii. Network Control Centres.
iii. Mob equipment for NDRF.
iv. Equipment for Emergency Operations Centres at National, State
& District levels.
4.2.2 National Earthquake Risk Management Programme
A National Core Group for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation has been formed by the
MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) to advise on various tasks associated with
earthquake risk reduction. A National Earthquake Vulnerability Reduction
Programme has been launched by MHA together with United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) in 37 cities of the country: these cities have been chosen on the
basis of seismic zone (zone III and above) and population (more than 500,000).
A comprehensive National Programme on Earthquake Engineering Education

(NPEEE) has been launched by the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the
Government of India. The project envisages eight premier institutes of technology
(the seven Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore) to act as resource institutes.The project includes components such as
short-term (one- to four-week) and medium-term (one semester) training
programmes for faculty members within the country, international exposure to
faculty members, development of resource materials and teaching aids,
development of library and laboratory resources, and organisation of conferences
and workshops. Complete details of the programme are available at the NPEEE web
site (www.nicee.org/npeee). The programme started in April 2003 initially for three
years with a budget of about Rs. 137.6 million (about US$ 3 million). The
Programme has made considerable progress in less than one year.
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in India is responsible for developing various

standards related to wide ranging products and services, including all sectors of civil
engineering. The country has a number of seismic codes:
• IS:1893-1984 Indian Standard Criteria for Earthquake Resistant

Design of Structures
• IS:4326-1993 Indian Standard Code of Practice for Earthquake
Resistant Design and Construction of Buildings
• IS:13827-1993 Indian Standard Guidelines for Improving
Earthquake Resistance of Earthen Buildings
• IS:13828-1993 Indian Standard Guidelines for Improving
Earthquake Resistance of Low Strength Masonry Buildings
• IS:13920-1993 Indian Standard Code of Practice for Ductile Detailing
of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Seismic Forces
• IS:13935-1993 Indian Standard Guidelines for Repair and
Seismic Strengthening of Buildings.
Of these, the code IS:1893 is the main code.

URBAN EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITY REDUCTION PROJECT
The GoI-UNDP Disaster Risk Management Programme is a national initiative to

reduce vulnerabilities of communities in some of the most hazard prone districts of
India (169 districts and 17 states). The Programme (2002-2007) aims to contribute
to the social and economic development goals of the National and State
Governments, enable them to minimise losses to development gains and to reduce
their vulnerability to natural disasters.
The programme relies upon a community based approach to disaster management,

and seeks to build capacities of communities, government functionaries at all levels,
and other stake-holders in disaster management, at all levels, in an organised
manner. Please refer to the programme document or www.undp.org.in for details on
the objectives, spread, activities, etc. The Ministry of Home Affairs is the executing
agency with UNDP Country Office support for implementation.

The Border Area Development Programme is a 100% centrally funded Area
Programme. Funds are provided to the States as Special Central
Assistance for execution of approved schemes on a 100% grant basis and allocated
amongst the seventeen beneficiary States on the basis of (i) length of international
border (ii) population of border blocks and (iii) area of border blocks. Each of these
criteria is given equal weightage. The border block is the spatial unit for the
programme and all schemes are implemented within the border blocks only. The
funds received from Govt. of India are allocated among the four border districts of
Amritsar, Gurdaspur, TarnTaran and Ferozepur on the basis of criteria adopted by
Govt. of India for distribution of funds amongst Border States.

4.2.3 Approved Master Plans
Urban areas in past have not received much attention in terms of their planning,
development and management despite the fact that cities and economic
development are inextricably linked. Because of high productivity of urban areas,
economic development activities get located in cities. Accordingly, it is desirable

that human settlements are provided with necessary planning and development
inputs so that their orderly growth and development is ensured. This would also be
necessary for ensuring efficient functioning of human settlements for improving
their productivity and for providing desirable quality of life to its residents in order
to cater to their economic, physical and metaphysical needs. The urban
development strategy for any state thus assumes importance for not only its
economic emancipation but also its physical well-being.
The real challenge before the planning and development of towns/cities is to have
balanced development in all spheres of urban life: physical, social and economic in a
comprehensive manner. There is need to make urban transition efficient, equitable
and cost effective by making policies and bringing out new projects/schemes. For
this preparation of Master Plan becomes the guiding principle for wiping out the
deficits in urban infrastructure, mining the problems and exploring the potentials of
the city. In order to ensure a planned future expansion and to prevent
mushrooming of unplanned construction in Punjab, the state government is
deliberating over to design the master plan for 30 towns. Following are the
approved master plans of Punjab:

4.2 Inclusion of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Development

Planning
The current level of urbanization is likely to increase. Urbanization is inevitable and

growing at a fast pace, urban settlements are bound to be confronted with problems
of greater magnitude in terms of shelter options, cramped living spaces, problems
of transportation, access to facilities, services etc and above all, climate change,
mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) issues in Development Plans etc are
to be interlinked vertically and horizontally for fail safe infrastructures in Punjab.
The Major challenges which need to be addressed are as follows:

Technical:
Microzonation
Risk Identification & Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment
Regulatory:
Development Law
Apartment/Real Estate Law
Building Bylaws
Building Inspection and compliance of BIS
Retrofitting methodologies
Soil Improvement measures
Activities required to be taken up as DRR initiatives
A. Hazard Specific
1. Mapping hazard prone areas to an appropriate scale in respect of
earthquake, floods, landslides, coastal inundation etc
2. Assign appropriate land uses with low intensity of development

3. Devise appropriate zoning
4. Implementation and enforcement of zoning regulations and building bye laws
SDMA
Further, State TCPDs /UDDs/ULBs must focus on
Vulnerability Assessment of buildings
Categorization of Buildings i.e. high/ very high risk
Feasibility study for retrofitting of residential and lifeline buildings
Prepare a Framework for Re Development
Urban Planning Specific Development Control Regulation issues
Externally Aided Schemes
UNDP-GOI Disaster Risk Reduction Programme

A programme with external aid from United Nations Development Program (UNDP)
known as GOI-UNDP is being implemented by NDMA with an outlay of USD 12.6
million (approximately Rs. 63 crore) and by MHA with an outlay of USD 7.4 million
(Rs. 37 crore) for the period of 2009-2012. The Joint Secretary, Ministry of Home
Affairs is the National programme Director for URR component and Joint Secretary,
NDMA is the National Programme Director for DRR component. The programme is
being implemented in all the states. Following table shows the Punjab state
allocation of grants in aid:

Chapter V
RESPONSE PLAN
I. INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM
Although the primary responsibility of disaster management is of the State

Governments, the Central Government plays a key role in providing financial
and logistic help to the states in tackling both natural and human induced
disasters. Till the recent past, India had an entirely different mechanism for
disaster management.
5.1 NATIONAL LEVEL MECHANISM
The administration of natural disaster management is the responsibility of

the Ministry of Home Affairs, where as certain disasters such as chemical and
biological disasters as well as aviation disasters are dealt by the concerned
Ministries. The elaborate structural framework in national level is given
broadly for understanding.
5.1.1 National Crisis Management Committee
Cabinet Secretary, who is the highest executive officer, heads the National
Crisis Management Committee (NCMC). Secretaries of all concerned
Ministries/ Departments as well as Organizations are members of the
Committee. The NCMC gives direction to the Crisis Management Group as
deemed necessary. The NCMC gives directions to any
Ministries/Departments/ Organizations for specific action needed for meeting
the Crisis situation.
5.1.2 National Crisis Management Group
The Central Relief Commissioner in the Ministry of home Affairs is the

Chairman of the Crisis management Group, which consist of nodal officers
from concerned Ministries. The CMGs function includes reviewing every year
contingency plans formulated by various Ministries/Departments/
Organizations in their respective sectors. The other functions include:
1. To review measures required dealing with natural disaster.
2. Coordinate activities of Central Ministries and state Governments in
relation to disaster preparedness and relief
3. To obtain information from the nodal officers on measures relating to the
above.

5.1.3 National Disaster Management Authority
For better coordination of disaster management in national level, National

Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is being constituted. This is a multi
disciplinary body with nodal officers from all concerned
departments/ministries/ organizations.
Apart from these developments, the government of India has its national
Contingency Action Plan prepared by the nodal ministry of disaster
management. Also a National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) has been
started functioning in the Ministry of Home Affairs with all sophisticated
equipments and most modern technologies for disaster management.

5.2.5 State Working Groups
A couple of working groups are constituted in state level in line with the national
set up. These working groups are given with particular responsibilities and they
are the core group of such functions. Besides, there is an Emergency operation
Centre at the state level to coordinate and perform disaster management
activities in a disaster situation as well as in the preparatory stage.
State Disaster Response Team: It is proposed to raise a State disaster

response team to be stationed at central location so that these team alongwith
resources can reach the site of disaster in shortest possible time. This team will
be under the administrative control of Director, DM and operational control of
Department of Civil Defence and Home Guards. On the lines of NDRF, they will
be imparted trainings in Medical First Responders, Flood Control, Search and
Rescue etc. During peace times, they will assist in imparting trainings to general
public. The manpower to be either recruited afresh or taken on deputation with
the Department of Civil Defence from amongst the newly recruited constables of
Punjab Police. PS Home has been requested to confirm if the second option is
possible. Decision in this matter may kindly be taken.
Civil Defence: The Civil Defence Policy of the GOI until 1962 was confined
to making the states and UTs conscious of the need of civil protection measures
and to keep in readiness civil protection plans for major cities and towns under
the Emergency Relief Organization (ERO) scheme. The Civil Defence
Organization is raised only in such areas and zones which are considered
vulnerable to enemy attacks. During times of war and emergencies, the Civil
Defence organisation has the vital role of guarding the hinterland, supporting the
armed forces, mobilizing the citizens and helping civil administration for saving
life and property, minimizing damage, maintaining continuity in production
centres and raising public morale. The concept of Civil Defence over the years
has shifted from management of damage against conventional weapons to also
include threat perceptions against nuclear weapons, biological and chemical
warfare and environmental disasters.
Fire Services: Fire services are mandate of the Municiapal Bodies as

estimated in item 7 of Schedule 12 under Article 243W of the constitution. The
structure across is not uniform. Presently Fire prevention and Fire Fighting
Services are organized by the concerned States and UTs. Ministry of Home
Affairs, Govt. of India, renders technical advice to the States and UTs and
Central Ministries on Fire Protection, Fire Prevention and Fire Legislation. Fire
Services in Punjab is under the Municipal Corporations.
Home Guard: The role of Home Guard is to serve as an auxiliary to the

police in the maintenance of law and order, internal security and help the
community in any kind of emergency such as air-raids, fire, cyclone,
earthquake, epidemic, etc. They are also expected to help the police in
maintenance of communal harmony, assist the administration in protecting
weaker sections, participate in socio-economic and welfare activities and perform
Civil Defence duties.
Border Wing, Home Guard serves as an auxiliary to the Border Security Force.
Punjab has 6 battalions of Border Wing Home Guards for preventing infiltration
on the international border.

constraints. Response management is based on the three key management
tasks of command, control and coordination. These roles and responsibilities are
defined as follows:
5.3.1 Command
Command depicts the hierarchical managerial order. It elucidates the type and
amount of resources that would be handled at different levels in the
performance of that organisation’s roles and tasks. Command structure will be
decided as per the rules within an agency/department.
5.3.2 Control
Control provides the direction for best possible utilisation of resources and most
advantageous deployment of manpower. Control system will be developed on
the basis of laid down policy of the Govt.
5.3.3 Coordination
Coordination involves the bringing together of agencies and elements to ensure
effective response to emergencies. It is primarily concerned with the systematic
acquisition and application of resources (agencies, personnel and equipment) in
accordance with the requirements imposed by emergencies. Co-ordination aims
at bringing out synergy in operation. The command, control and co-ordination
functions are demonstrated in the Figure given below.

5.3.4 Incident Controller

Incident Controller is the officer with overall responsibility for emergency
response operations. The incident controller will normally be appointed by the
control agency, but can also be appointed by the SRC or DRC (the District
Collector) if the circumstances so require.
5.3.5 Emergency Management Team (EMT)

The emergency management team will consist of the incident controller, the
support agency commanders (or their representatives) and the emergency
response co-ordinator (or representative). The EMT exists when two or more
agencies combine or work in co-operation to respond to an emergency.
161
Once the control strategy has been determined by the incident controller (in
consultation with support agency commanders), the commanders implement the
strategy through their respective command structures. The emergency response
co-ordinator’s role in the team is to ensure a co-ordinated multi-agency
response, and to provide for the systematic acquisition and utilization of the
required resources.
5.3.6 Incident Management System (IMS)

This is a system used by the EMT in fulfilling its role. An IMS lays down a set of
flexible set of rules and a dynamic methodology, which can accommodate
escalation or changes in the severity of any emergency. The system will be
established by the control agency and will involve use of personnel for the
various functions which may need to be individually managed in dealing with the
event, such as operations, planning, logistics (in conjunction with the emergency
response co-ordinator), finance and administration. Each response agency will
draw up an operational management system to assist in carrying out its role.
The important aspect is that they all provide an effective interface between
co-operating agencies, when necessary.
5.3.7 Co-ordination Role of the State Relief Commissioner & District

Collector
Emergency response co-ordinators will be responsible for ensuring the
co-ordination of the activities of agencies having roles or responsibilities in
response to emergencies, with the exception of emergencies involving defence
force vessels or aircraft.
5.3.7.1 Principal Role of Emergency Response Co-ordinators (SRC

& DRC)
The principal role of emergency response co-ordinators is to:
• Ensure that the appropriate control and support agencies have been
identified and will be responding for the emergency management;
• Ensure that effective control has been established in responding to an
emergency;
• Ensure effective co-ordination of resources and services;
• In the event of uncertainty, determine which agency is to perform its
statutory response role within a district or other specified area, where
more than one agency is empowered to perform that role;
• Arrange for the provision of resources requested by control and support
agencies;
• Review and dispatch situation reports;
• Ensure that consideration has been given to:
• Alerting the public to existing and potential dangers arising from a
serious emergency direct or through the media;
• Any need for evacuation.
• Advise recovery agencies of the emergency.
5.3.7.2 Field Emergency Response Co-ordinator

The field emergency response co-ordinator will be an experienced person
designated by SRC, DRC, BDO, etc. at the scene of an emergency. The response
roles, responsibilities and duties of the field emergency response co-ordinator
are to:
162
• Ensure that the necessary control and support agencies are in position or
have been notified of the emergency and are responding.
• Liaise with all agencies at scene.
• Ensure an incident controller has been identified, and liaise directly with
that person, in order to be satisfied that the emergency is being responded
to efficiently and effectively.
• Arrange for meeting the requests for provision of resources to the
control/support agencies by:
• Ensure provision of available resources from within the Gram Panchayat,
Block, Municipality District; or mobilise additional resources through the
Gram Panchayat, Block, Municipality, District emergency response
co-ordinators.
• Provide situation reports to the Block, Municipality and District emergency
response co-ordinators.
• Alerting the public to existing and potential dangers arising from a serious
emergency;
• The need for evacuation;
• Public information;
• Traffic management, including access/egress for emergency response
vehicles.
• Make necessary arrangements at the scene for media in accordance with
direction from the incident controller.
• Advise recovery agencies of the emergency situation.
5.3.7.3 Block/Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator
The District Response Coordinator will appoint for each Block or Municipality, the
B.D.O. or the Chief Executive of the Municipality as the Emergency Response
Coordinator. The, responsibilities and duties of the Block or Municipality
Coordinator will be to:
• Ensure that immediate relief provisions are available and their
movement activated in the event of an emergency
• Ensure activation of the Block/Municipality Emergency Operation
Centre
• Regularly apprise the District Collector if the emergency, cannot be
controlled within his/her resources.
• Advise recovery agencies of the emergency
5.3.7.4 District Emergency Response Coordinator
The District Collector will be the District Response Coordinator. The response
roles, responsibilities and duties of the District Response Coordinator are:
• Responsible to the SRC for the effective coordination of resources or
services within the District as per the provisions of the ORC.
• In the event of uncertainty, determine which agency is to perform its
statutory response role within the District or within a specified area of
the District, where more than one agency/department is empowered to
perform that role.
163
• Ensure that an effective control structure has been established by the
control agency in responding to an emergency.
• Obtain and forward regular advice regarding the potential of an
emergency, which, is not under substantial control of the control
agency.
• In an emergency, arrange to provide requested resources to the
control/support agencies from:
§ Within the District
§ Outside the District through the SRC
• Monitor the provision of emergency relief and supply
• Review and dispatch situation reports to the SRC
§ Alert the public to existing and potential dangers arising from
serious emergency
§ The need for evacuation
§ Other public information
5.3.7.5 Additional Objectives for Emergency Response Co-ordinators

• To ensure that the role of emergency response co-ordinator is
effectively performed, the following objectives will be adhered to:
•
• Provision of medical treatment / first aid.
• Notification of hospital(s).
• Registration of persons evacuated or otherwise affected.
• Provision of relief needs of evacuees, control and support agencies
where necessary.
• In consultation with the control agency, assess need for declaration of
an emergency area.
• Maintenance of order around the emergency site.
• Fact gathering for inquests or judicial inquiries.
• Notification of relevant government and non-government agencies.
• Co-operation with all participating departments/agencies and
authorities.
• Maintenance of proper records.
• Bringing relevant matters to the notice of the appropriate
agencies/authorities for action.
5.4 Step-up Arrangements
5.4.1 Resourcing
A three-tiered framework (block/municipal, district and State) exists for
implementing response to emergencies. Response arrangements are
designed to assess an emergency, and to provide for the graduated
marshalling and utilisation of the resources required to deal with it in
accordance with the emergency response plan and the plans of
participating agencies. At the blocks/municipal/gram panchayat levels,
resources owned or under the control of the G.P, block or municipal council
will be used to supplement those of the control and support agencies. As
the effects of the emergency escalate, or the resource requirements are in
excess of what is available locally, district, State and external resources will
be explored.
164
5.4.2 Co-ordination
At the district level, the inter-agency response management structure
involves the co-ordination of resources to support operations which cannot
be resourced locally, or which extend over more than one block or
municipality. The highest level of operational co-ordination and support
takes place at State level. It is at this level that resource support from
other States, Central Government and/or the other agencies is assessed
and requested.
5.4.3 Procedures
Where an agency/department requires resources beyond its own capacity to
satisfactorily complete a task, it will request for assistance as appropriate:
• If at the local level, from the B.D.O. or Municipal Executive Officer.

• If the request cannot be satisfied at the local level, then via the
BDO/Municipality to the District Collector
• If the request cannot be satisfied at District level, then request will be
made to the State Emergency Response Coordination Centre for
additional support (for L2 level disasters).
• If a request cannot be satisfied from resources within the State it will be
referred to the SRC as the State Emergency Response Coordinator to
seek Central Government or external assistance (For L3 level disasters).
5.4.4 Information Management

The objective of information management is to provide the right information to
the right person at the right time in the right format. During emergency
response activities information is needed by all participating agencies, persons
affected and the wider community. But the requirement of information by the
different groups could be different. Processing of the sea of data in to the right
kind of information will be an important task while managing an emergency.
5.4.5 Post-operational Debriefing

The block, municipal or district emergency response co-ordinator is responsible
for convening a debriefing conference as soon as practicable after cessation of
response activities. All agencies that participated in those activities will be
represented with a view to assessing the adequacy of the response and to
recommend any changes to the relevant plan(s).
5.4.6 Media Liaison

Media management during a disaster is an important aspect. The incident
controller will ensure that up-to-date and accurate information is made
available.
A clearly defined area, as close as practicable to the incident, should be

established as a media centre.
If the control agency is not equipped, or is otherwise unable to deal directly with
the media, the assistance of the State may be requested.
5.5 Emergency Relief

This section covers the provision of emergency relief to persons affected by, or
responding to, an emergency.
165
5.5.1 Requesting Emergency Relief
• Control and Support Agencies

Control and support agencies that have the capacity to provide emergency relief
functions for their own personnel (i.e. food relief, first aid, health care) will use
their own resources before requesting emergency relief from the state
emergency relief system.
• Support to the Community

Requests for emergency relief will, in the first instance, be directed to the block,
municipal council or the Gram Panchayat via the Block or Municipal Emergency
Response Coordinator.
5.5.2 Block/Municipal Level: (Coordinator Block/G.P./Municipal

Councils)
Local Councils or Emergency Response Committees will be responsible for
coordinating emergency relief at the local level. The relief function roles and the
nominated primary agencies for food relief, emergency relief centres and
material needs at the local level will be designated in the G.P., Block or Municipal
Emergency Management Plan. Should the event exceed the capacity of the
council/committee to perform this function, the G.P., Block or Municipal
Emergency Response Coordinator, through the District Collector will arrange for
the State or District Authorities to assume coordination. The local
committee/council, to ensure a smooth transition of responsibility, will notify the
District and State Authorities as soon as it becomes apparent an event will
exceed their capacity.
5.6 Evacuation
5.6.1 Legal and Operational Considerations

The response agencies will make an assessment of the situation and will
recommend evacuation and assist evacuation of affected people through a safe
and efficient evacuation process.
The decision to recommend that people evacuate rests with the control agency,
in conjunction with police and other expert advice, unless time constraints
prevent this consultation. Once the decision is made, police and the local
administration are responsible for carrying out the evacuation process.
5.6.2 Evacuation Process

Evacuated people are taken or directed to a place of relative safety, usually to a
shelter or an emergency relief centre, which might have been identified in the
relevant G.P., Block or municipal emergency management plans.
Tehsildars will be responsible to ensure the registration of the evacuated people.

Emergency relief will be provided to evacuees as needed. They will remain at the
centre or in other emergency shelters until the danger is over and it will be safe
for them to return home. The evacuation process includes the returning of
evacuees to their homes. In situations when evacuated persons must remain
away from home for an extended period, temporary accommodation may be
necessary. This will be managed under the recovery arrangements.
• Emergency Response Arrangements:
• The control rooms at various levels will be modernised and upgraded to
act as an Emergency Operation Centre with facilities for Emergency
166
Response Coordination where the designated Emergency Nodal Officer
and other response agencies’ representatives can operate jointly in times
of emergency to ensure effective coordination.
The State Government can hire the services of an architect for designing the
layout of the EOC where all the ESFs will be located during Emergencies and will
have the following facilities: (a) Conference Hall; (b) Press Room (c) Work
Stations for ESFs (d) Dormitories (e) Television, Film & LCD Screening Rooms,
(f) Video Conferencing facilities with Emergency Electric Generators, UPS
System, Dual Decoders, Stock room, Network Control Room, Studio and pantry
for food and drinking water facilities. All
EOC facilities will be made disaster resistant.
The proposed arrangements for effective response and inter-agency coordination

are given below. However, till such systems are not put in place, the existing
control rooms will act as the main hub for response activities.
5.6.3 State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC)
EOC is an offsite facility which will be functioning from the State / District
headquarters and which is actually an augmented control room having
communication facilities and space to accommodate the various ESFs
emergency supports functions. It is a combination of various line departments
of Government and other agencies, whose services are generally required
during incident response,
It will allow all collaborating agencies and departments inside and outside EOC
environment to share information, make decisions, activate plans, deploy IRTs,
perform and log all necessary response and relief activities and make the EOC
effective.
EOC Norms
It will have:
a. One Sr. Administrative Officer as EOC in-charge having experience in

DM with required assistants;
b. Representation of all concerned line departments with authority to quickly
mobilize their resources;
c. Adequate space with proper infrastructure to accommodate the
participating agencies and departments;
d. Communication facilities with last mile connectivity;
e. A vehicle mounted with HF, VHF and satellite telephone for deployment
in the affected site to provide immediate connectivity with the
headquarters and ICP;
f. A representative of central teams (NDRF, Armed Forces) whenever they
are deployed to integrate their resources, expertise and to resolve
conflicts that may arise during the response effort;
g. Provision and plan for dovetailing the NDRF, Armed Forces communication
capabilities with the local communication set up. There will be proper plan
167
so that all are able to connect with each other in case of large scale
disasters or failure of the local communication systems;
h. Map depicting affected site, resources deployed, facilities established like
Incident Command Post, Staging Area, Incident Base, Camp, Relief Camp,
Helibase, Helipad, etc.
i. DM plans of all line departments;
j. DM plans of the State and the District;
Directories with contact details of all emergency services and nodal
officers;
Connectivity with all District headquarters and police stations;
Database of NGOs working in different geographical areas;
Demographic details of the State and Districts;
k. Online / Web based DSS with the availability of at least the following
components:
Standardization of Command Structure with the details of the
earmarked and Trained personnel in IRS;
Proactive planning facilities;
Comprehensive resource management system;
Geographic Information System (GIS) for decision support; and
Modelling capability for predicting casualties and resources for

large scale incidents including CBRN emergencies.
m. Socio-economic, demographic and land use planning;
m Resource inventories of all line departments and connectivity with database
of India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN) India Disaster Knowledge
Network (IDKN) and Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN); and
Incident Response Team (IRT)

The ROs of the State and Districts will constitute IRTs from among officers at
the State and District level respectively. The members of IRTs will be properly
trained and sensitised regarding their roles during the pre-disaster phase itself.
Selection of different section chiefs will be guided by the nature and type of
disaster. The headquarters IRT will provide continuous support to the on-scene
IRT(s) and if required join them or take over response on the directions of the
RO.
Incident Response System (IRS) - Facilities

For effective response the following facilities may be required to be established
depending on the needs of the incidents, the length and time the facilities are
needed to be used, the cost to establish it and prevailing weather conditions
etc.
Incident Command Post (ICP)

The ICP is the location at which the primary command functions are
performed. The IC will be located at the ICP. There will only be one ICP for
each incident. This also applies to situations with multi-agencies or multi
168
jurisdictional incidents operating under a single or Unified command. The ICP
can be located with other incident facilities like Incident Base.
.The ICP may be located at Headquarters of various levels of administration of
State (State, District, Sub-Division, Tehsil / Block). In case of total destruction
or reasons of non availability of any other space, the ICP may be located in a
vehicle, trailer or tent. It should however have adequate lighting, effective
communication system and other such facilities so that one can function
effectively.
Deployment of IRT
Some of the natural hazards have a well established early warning system.
States and Districts also have a functional 24 x 7 EOC / Control Room. On
receipt of information regarding the impending disaster, the EOC will inform the
RO, who in turn will activate the required IRT and mobilize resources. The scale
of their deployment will depend on the magnitude of the incident. At times the
information about an incident may be received only on its occurrence without
any warning. In such cases the local IRT (District, Sub-Division, Tehsil / Block)
as the case may be, will respond and inform the higher authority and if required
seek reinforcement and guidance.
Standard Operating Procedures

The Standard operating procedure (SOP) is the set of routine activities to be
followed by the staff at the E.O.C. (Emergency Operation Centre i.e. Control
Room of the district Administration/State Administration etc. for observation,
evaluation, Confirmation and dissemination of bulletins. The SOPs are
emergency procedures, where the activities of a specific situation are described
in a clear, logical, sequential and methodical manner. Hence activities in the
emergency plan or DDMPs include evacuation, search and rescue, relief,
rehabilitation reconstruction resettlement text food, water, clothing, medical first
aid, sanitation, disposal of dead bodies’ carcasses, sanitation, etc.
The objectives of the SOP are –

(a) To provide, in a concise and convenient form, a list of major
executive actions involved in responding to natural disasters and
necessary measures for preparedness, response and relief required
to be taken;
(b) To ensure that all concerned Ministries, Departments and Organisations of
the Government of India, State Governments and District Administrations
know the precise measures required of them at each stage of the process
and also to ensure that all actions are closely and continuously
coordinated; and
(c) To indicate various actions this would be required by the State
Governments/UT Administrations within their sphere of responsibilities so
that they may prepare and review the Contingency Action Plans
accordingly.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTRES (EOCs):

Emergency Operation Centres/Control rooms will be set up at National, State
and district levels with requisite facilities. The EOCs/Control Rooms already in
169
existence at these levels will be suitably upgraded.
Objectives of the Emergency Operations Centre

The EOCs/Control Rooms at National, State and District levels will be the
nerve centre for coordination and management of disasters. The objectives
of the EOCs shall be to provide centralized direction and control of any or all
of the following functions:
Receive and process disaster alerts and warnings from nodal agencies
and other sources and communicate the same to all designated
authorities.
Monitor emergency operations
Facilitate Coordination among primary and secondary
ESF Ministry/Departments/Agencies.
Requisitioning additional resources during the disaster phase Issuing
disaster/incident specific information and instructions specific to all
concerned; Consolidation, analysis, and dissemination of damage, loss
and needs assessment data;
Forwarding of consolidated reports to all designated authorities.
Location of EOC
The EOC will be set up at a suitable location and the building should be
disaster proof so as to withstand the impact of disasters and remain
functional during the emergency phase.
Communication Network of EOCs
Under the National Communication Plan being implemented by the

Government of India, the EOCs at all the three levels shall have a fail proof
communication network with triple redundancy of NICNET of NIC, POLNET of
Police and SPACENET of ISRO in addition to the terrestrial and satellite based
communication to ensure voice, data and video transfer. Under the network,
he EOCs/Control Rooms of all the States will be directly connected with the
NEOC/ Control Room of MHA at the National level. The district EOCs/ Control
Rooms will be connected with the respective State EOCs/Control Room. All
these control rooms will function on 24x7 basis and will be functional round
the year. Suitable personnel will be selected and imparted training in the
operation of Control Rooms will be posted to man these EOCs/Control
Rooms.
SEOC and DEOC

State Governments and District Administration shall set up State
Emergency Operation Centre and District Emergency Operation Centres
and provide adequate manpower for manning them on 24x7 basis round
the year and arrange training for the EOC Staff on EOC operations. State
Governments and District Administration shall develop SOP/ Protocol for
activation of SEOCs and DEOCs during emergency/disasters
Equipment Requirements
170
The SEOC will need to operate round the clock, and may itself be subjected to
adverse conditions due to the impact of disaster. It needs to be equipped with
the following hardware and software for its efficient functioning:
1. Resource Inventories and databank of maps and plans at block, district

and state level on a GIS platform for quick retrieval and analysis.
2. State-of-art communication equipment for staying linked with the Chief
Secretary’s office, headquarters of line departments, district collectors,
field teams, media, and national and international support agencies.
3. A mobile command vehicle with communication equipment.
4. Workstations and communication lines for all representatives of the line
ministries.
5. Radios and television sets tuned to different news channels and coverage.
6. Video conferencing facility.
7. Projection equipment and screens.
8. Emergency power backup.
9. Stock of drinking water, food, medicines, bedding and essential items
required for personnel manning the SEOC for long time durations.
5.6.4 Incident Command System
ICS is an effective model for centralized management. It can clearly define staff
roles and responsibilities and lines of communications. In the ICS model the
base of operations for response to a disaster (incident) is the Command centre.
5.6.5 Incident Command-Upon activation of the Plan, the Incident

Commander will establish the Command Centre and initiate ICS.
The layout of the Incident Command System with concerned staff is given in the

Dissemination
For the emergency response at the national level and to respond to emergencies
that cannot be handled by the State authorities, the State and Central
Governments will form a number of self-sufficient agency/agencies that gets into
actions without waiting for any notification. The dependence of these
agencies on local resources will be minimal.
The assumption, as the definition of disaster enunciates, is that the normal
systems have collapsed and the situation is beyond the control of local society.
The first 72 hours are the most crucial in any emergency, because average
human beings can withstand most dangers up to a maximum of 72 hours.
Therefore, apart from the State Response Arrangements, the State and Central
Governments will have to create quick response teams that can spring into
action the moment any emergency strikes.
5.7 Response Activities
5.7.1 Warning
Most of the disasters could be predicted and the community likely to be affected
forewarned about any impending disaster through a proper warning mechanism.
Floods, droughts, heat and cold waves, pest attacks, epidemics, industrial and
chemical disasters are some of the disasters for which adequate warning could
be given.
On receipt of warning, the District/block level machinery and the concerned
departments at the State level will be systematically activated for response
measures at the earliest:
174
♦ Concerned officers in Revenue, Public Health, veterinary, Police,
Electric, Telecom, RWSS, RD, R&B, Irrigation, PHD, PWD, Civil Supply,
departments, important CBOs/ NGOs, Elected Representatives, etc. will
be alerted.
♦ It will be ensured that all officers remain in headquarters until the
situation gets back to normal.
♦ Warning to people through the Govt. field functionaries will be
disseminated. This system of alert may range from alarms (fires),
sirens (industrial disaster), to public announcement systems like radio,
television, loud speakers, hoisting of flags and traditional systems i.e.,
beating of drums and bells, blowing of conch shells etc. (Cyclones,
floods).
♦ Once the warning is issued, it will be followed up with subsequent
warnings in order to keep the people informed of the latest situation.
♦ Arrangements for generators, radios, batteries, extra vehicles, Satellite
telephones to meet emergency situation will be made
♦ Adequate fuel for generators and vehicles will be arranged
♦ Godowns for storage of relief materials and parking places for trucks
carrying relief materials will be inspected
♦ Logbook for recording chronological sequence of events will be
prepared
♦ Availability of food and kerosene at block head quarters, storage
agents and other inaccessible pockets will be checked
♦ Stock pilling of relief materials/ ORS packets at strategic points will be
ensured.
♦ Private stockists/ wholesalers and godowns will be directed to remain
open till the situation gets back to normal
♦ Availability of sand bags will be checked (for anticipated floods)
♦ A rapid assessment of the medicines, bleaching powders and halogen
tables will be made and if necessary, more will be requisitioned
immediately
♦ Start movement of medicines to hospitals, other points lacking
adequate stock
♦ Assessment of relief materials required will be made
♦ Location of sites for operation camps will be identified
♦ Adequate number of small and big vehicles will be immediately
requisitioned and kept in readiness
♦ Position of boats already deployed will be assessed and if necessary
additional boats will be requisitioned
♦ If needed all the educational institutions will be closed
♦ Assessment of vaccines and fodder stock available with the veterinary
department will be made
♦ Lat-long book will be kept handy for identifying the probable air
dropping zones advance list of villages where air dropping may be
needed will be made
♦ Civil society organisations will be alerted and a plan of action for
working in coordination with Govt. functionaries will be drawn up.
♦ Concerned departments will be directed to get ready with emergency
tool kits and necessary manpower
♦ Sufficient number of generators will be hired and fuel for running those
will be stored
♦ Regular contact with all control rooms will be maintained
♦ Spare copies of block maps will be kept ready
175
♦ After quick review of the preparations taken, emergency meeting of
important officials and non-Govt. agencies will be convened and clear
instructions will be given about their expected role
♦ Necessary arrangements for evacuation will be made
♦ All search and rescue agencies and volunteers will be alerted
♦ An Incident Commander (nodal officer) will be designated
♦ Movement of trains, vehicles, etc., will be stopped depending on the
expected intensity of the emergency
Warning System:
§ Advanced technology like, remote sensing, GIS, etc, have made
predictions about imminent disasters, especially for weather and climate
related ones more precise and reliable. It will be ensured that the state of
the art technology will be used for predictions.
§ Increasing number of warning dissemination centres (for e.g., CWDS,
Flood monitoring stations) will be located at critical points
§ Regular and improved networking amongst all communication agencies
and the response agencies will be ensured
§ Warning dissemination will be taken up at the earliest in vulnerable
pockets in local languages/ dialects with clear advice of what the people
should do before the impending emergency- whether they should stay
indoors, get ready to evacuate or evacuate.
§ Tracking and information about the increasing intensity or its deactivation
will be monitored.
5.7.2 Role of State Govt. in L2 disaster
Once the disaster is declared, as L2 the State Government will:
♦ Maintain close contact with the areas/districts likely to be affected

♦ Review the preparedness measures/ arrangements
♦ Identify key access routes, godowns for storage of relief
♦ Review existing stock position of relief materials, deployment of search
and rescue, medical teams evacuation arrangements in areas/districts
which are likely to be affected
♦ Liaison with the centre to provide special air and rail transport, if
necessary
♦ Review the measures taken to protect vital installations
♦ Make advance arrangement to send relief materials to affected areas
♦ Make advance arrangement to deploy specialised team (Medical,
Search & Rescue and army)
(These activities, however, will be in support of the District initiatives and their
requirements of assistance.)
5.7.3 No Warning
In case of no warning, the activities and inventories maintained during the L0
stage will be operational.
Disasters for which warning is not possible include earthquakes, tornado, flash
floods, hurricanes, dam bursts, thunder and lightning, fire chemical and
industrial disasters, nuclear disasters, all accident related disasters and food
poisoning.
176
5.7.4 De-Warning
In case the disaster does not occur as predicted, the Indian Meteorological
Department issues a de-warning. The de-warning by IMD will initiate the
following:
♦ Dissemination of De-warnings by respective districts and blocks

♦ EOC will start functioning for L0 activities again
♦ The specialised teams (defence/search and rescue/medical) shall also
return to L0 activities
♦ Material resources will be returned/stored back
5.8 RESPONSE PLANNING
Planning of the operations will be done quickly and at regular intervals. To

mobilise resources at the State level, the daily stocktaking will be taken in a
meeting of the departmental secretaries under the chairmanship of the Chief
Secretary. All planning aspects will be taken care of by this committee and
execution of these will be undertaken by the SRC.
Once the alert stage has been activated, within the first two hours of the
disaster event the Special Relief Commissioner’s office or the Emergency
Operation Centre will be responsible for holding a meeting of the Coordinating
Officer of each ESF. They will meet as and when needed, under the leadership of
the SRC, and be responsible for the following during the course of this meeting:
♦ Review of the situation and of submission of detailed reports to

Government with recommendations
♦ Ensure that the officers of concerned departments immediately inspect
the affected area and take appropriate protective and restorative
action within the ambit of their budgetary provisions as considered
necessary
♦ Review the actions taken for clearance of roads for movement of
traffic, rescue of and relief to the marooned people, disposal of dead
bodies and carcasses, restoration of communication, power and
drinking water
♦ Damage assessment and submission of preliminary and final damage
reports of the circumstance as well as loss sustained
♦ Arrange for reconnaissance flights and army assistance
♦ Review and document the resources (manpower and material) support
that has already been dispatched to the affected area
♦ Address response issues and problems that require State level
decisions or policy direction.
♦ Take decisions on more resources and relief material that may be
required.
5.8.1 Location of the meeting
The meeting will be held in the SRC office. The first meeting will be held within
two/three hours of the event parallel to the other activities that have been
initiated at the declaration of L2. The following activities will be initiated parallel
to the SRC meeting:
♦ Briefing of officers of the concerned Departments.
♦ Departure of first assessment team.
177
♦ Departure of first search and rescue team with army personnel, if
required
♦ Aerial survey of damage.
5.8.2 Arrival Point
Material/Manpower Flow chart of Information and Arrival Centres

The response activities require active and effective coordination of ground
operations. The traffic junctions such as airports, railway stations and bus
terminals will establish ‘Information and Arrival Centres’ which will be the
key points for arrival and dispatch of relief materials and rescue workers. The
incoming assets from within and outside the State will be clearly allotted and
assigned to disaster sites with the help of various information centres. This
information centre will function at the State level and therefore will be
accountable for all international aid and related formalities.
♦ Arrival point: The transport junctions where relief materials as well as

manpower can be collected for response activities. It could be the airport
or railway stations.
♦ Information and briefing desk: The people / agencies will be briefed of
the status of disaster, the most affected areas and the key agencies and
personnel in the affected District(s). It will also coordinate and handle the
relief material received from National and International agencies as a
priority task.
♦ Storage: Storage facility at the arrival point where material is categorised
and if needed, packed for dispatch.
♦ Briefing cell: This cell will give specific briefing for different types of field
workers.
♦ Donation management cell: The donations from other states and
international agencies are packed and accounted for further distribution.
♦ Point of departure: Material and manpower are dispatched according to
the requirements issued by the EOC at the centres.

all the relief and other facilities can be directed to the affected areas directly
according to the needs of the incident commanders and the District EOC.
5.9 State Disaster Quick Response Mechanism
Declaration of L2
The declaration of the L2 will be done after the event has occurred by the
Special Relief Commissioner in consultation with the State Natural Calamity
Committee.
Factors taken into considerations for the declaration of L2:

♦ Parameters set by designated technical authority
♦ Capacity of Districts to manage the disaster independently
The Chief Secretary will head the first assessment team and the SRC will be
primarily responsible for coordination of response activities at the State level
and will have the discretion to chose the members for the first assessment team
Before a delegation of the first assessment team leaves for the site the following
will be done
♦ Official declaration of L2
♦ Meeting of the State Natural Calamity Committee
♦ Arranging for all required inventories from the concerned Departments

179
5.9.1 Quick Response Teams
The State, and especially the vulnerable districts, will set up well-trained teams
for responding to disasters. The magnitude might be so large that medical and
other response teams will be required even before any initial assessment.
However, a quick assessment for further planning is also required. Therefore,
the response teams can be divided into two sections:
♦ Assessment Teams
♦ Response Teams
Action Plan for First 24 hours

Chapter VI
STATE DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Introduction
Disasters can and do destroy property, adversely affect the livelihood of people,
undo development initiatives and damage public infrastructure and facilities.
Immediate relief to affected people is addressed by arrangements under the
State Emergency Response Plan. But the affected people and the communities
often require support, both in tangible and intangible form, to regain normalcy
and start life afresh from where it got disrupted. Each disaster could be
considered as an opportunity to reinforce the resilience of the communities and
the resistance of the infrastructure, so that adversity of the future disasters
could be minimized.
The stakeholders in disaster management are: (a) the Community, (b) the
Government, (c) the Voluntary organizations and (d) the funding agencies. All
these stakeholders play specific roles at different stages of disasters, viz., (a)
before a disaster, (b) during the disaster, (c) immediately after the disaster and
(d) thereafter. While all the stakeholders do have some role or other to play in
all the four stages the role of the community is most pronounced in all the
stages, particularly during and immediately after a disaster they have to meet
the challenges on their own. The community during a disaster has a shared
responsibility of providing physical and psychological support to each individual,
particularly to the vulnerable sections. The State Disaster Recovery Plan places
the affected community as the focus of recovery management and provides a
structure for the management of all the inputs into the recovery process in a
way that is appropriate to the needs of the community.
Activation of arrangements under the recovery plan does not require the
activation of any other disaster management arrangements. Activation of
arrangements set up under this plan can occur whenever they are necessary to
assist people affected by a disaster.
Chapter 8 of this Plan describes the recovery roles and responsibilities

of government departments and should be read in conjunction with this
part.
The recovery plan applies to all types and scales of emergencies and also to
organizations having roles in the recovery from disasters, whether listed in this
manual or not.
6.2 Definitions of Recovery
Recovery is an enabling and supportive process that allows individuals, families

and communities to attain a proper level of functioning through the provision of
information, specialist services and resources. Recovery includes all aspects
of mitigation and also incorporates the continuation of the enabling
process, which assists the affected persons and their families not only
to overcome their losses, but also to achieve a proper and effective way
to continue various functions of their lives.
184
The Recovery process is therefore a long-terms process in which everyone has a
role – the Government including the self-government institutions, the NGOs, and
especially the affected people, their families and the community.
6.3 Recovery from Disasters

An emergency may be localised in its effects such as in a single house fire or a
road or train accident, or it may have much more widespread consequences, as
in the case of a major cyclone or flood. There may be a need for community
support, whether the cause is ‘natural’ or ‘man-made’.
The capacity of people to recover from a disaster using their own

resources varies, depending on the circumstances of the disaster as well
as on the nature of their community. Repeated occurrence of disasters,
on one hand, has fortified the coping mechanism of the communities,
but on the other, has trapped them in a vicious cycle socio-economic
vulnerability. It is required to take up long-term disaster proofing
measures to enable the communities to get out of the vicious circle and
minimize their vulnerability.
Assistance provided will be adapted to meet the basic needs of those affected,
with a focus on the most vulnerable sections of the people. This requires
sensitivity and extensive consultation with the affected people and communities.
Assistance may include material aid, temporary accommodation, financial
assistance, counselling and personal services, information and community
support and can come from a range of sources.
6.4 Need for Outside Assistance
The physical and emotional effects of an emergency are likely to diminish the
recovery capacity of individuals, families and communities. But the underlying
principles of providing assistance would be to build the capacities of the people
to enable them restore and sustain their livelihood and just not give it as
“charity”.
6.5 Recovery as a Developmental Process
Experience demonstrates that recovery is best achieved when affected

communities exercise a high degree of self-determination. It should be seen as a
developmental process through which communities attain a proper level of
functioning rather than merely returning to a previous level of
functioning.
The recovery process may be:

Complex: people and communities have a variety of needs, which require
numerous recovery measures involving a wide range of agencies,
Dynamic: needs are constantly changing, as difficulties are overcome and new
issues arise,
Protracted: the full recovery process may take several years.
185
6.6 The Recovery Process
There are two interrelated aspects of losses caused by disasters:
The physical and technical aspects, which includes destruction of property, and
the social or community aspect, which includes personal suffering, community
disruption, loss of community amenities as well as economic and commercial
losses.
The recovery process consists of a range of activities. It is important to

acknowledge that these are not phases or stages of recovery, in that they are
not necessarily sequential, i.e. one activity following another. They can take
place simultaneously.
6.7 Physical and Technical Aspect of Recovery
This aspect of the recovery process covers two types of activities:
• Restoration activities comprise repair of public utilities, housing, etc. and

re-establishment of the means of livelihood, farming and industrial
activities/enterprises.
• Reconstruction activities include replacing buildings and other capital

infrastructure. These activities may continue for months or even years.
6.8 Social or Community Aspect of Recovery
This aspect of the recovery process incorporates:
An initial period of high activity during which immediate individual and

community needs are met. During this period special social or community
support activity may be forthcoming to complement or supplement existing
community arrangements. It may also involve the establishment of temporary
social and administrative structures, setting priorities for medium and long-term
recovery and the provision of additional personnel and resources.
A period, during which developmental strategies are implemented, monitored

and adapted to changing needs. This process may extend for many months after
the event and involves the provision of economic and capital resources.
Reconstruction, following a disaster, is an important part of the recovery

process. However, exclusive focus on physical reconstruction can retard the
recovery of affected communities, particularly if they are not involved in a
meaningful way in the management process and have not been consulted about
the process or nature of their own recovery.
Recovery involves much more than replacing what was destroyed and
rehabilitating individuals. It also involves a complex social process, which
involves the whole community, and is best achieved when the affected
communities exercise a high degree of self-determination. Recovery should be
regarded as a developmental, rather than merely as a remedial process.
6.9 Dispersed Population Events
186
The affected population may originate from a number of different areas and
communities (for example in the case of a train accident). Where the affected
people are dispersed, and there is no distinct geographic area, which has
suffered losses, assistance with recovery may be provided by agencies as
extensions of their normal programmes. Special arrangements may need to be
put in place for delivering services equitably and efficiently to dispersed
populations. The concept of a community recovery committee may be useful
under such circumstances.
6.10 Recovery Management Priorities
The manner in which both physical and social recovery activities are carried out
may have a critical impact on the affected population. Activities, which are
provided without proper consultation and recognition of community needs and
priorities, may actually hinder recovery. This plan sets out mechanisms to
ensure that recovery management recognises community needs.
6.11 Co-ordinating Agency for Recovery
For restoration of public infrastructure the primary responsibility will vest with
the concerned Govt. departments. For livelihood restoration and social security
the Block will be the nodal agency. Social Capital Restoration programmes will
be executed through NGOs and CBOs. SDMA will be in over all charge of
identifying, formulating, monitoring and co-ordinating the Recovery Activities.
The deputy commissioner will be responsible for facilitating and monitoring of
the works at the district level.
6.12 Principles of Recovery
Agencies responsible for recovery management will be encouraged to

incorporate the following principles into their recovery plans.
(a) Recovery from a disaster is an enabling and supportive process that allows
individuals, families and communities to attain a proper level of functioning
through the provision of information, specialist services and resources.
(b) The process has to be properly planned, clearly understood and effectively
executed by recovery agencies, response agencies and the community. For this
purpose requisite training need be imparted to the community and the people
executing it.
(c) Recovery management arrangements are most effective when the

complexities and dynamics of recovery processes are properly recognised and
are dovetailed in to the changing needs of affected individuals, families and
groups within the community.
(d) Evolution of the recovery process with the participation of the community
and with use of local resources and expertise is best suited for over all
community development.
(e) Recovery management is most effective when agencies providing services in

health, education, social welfare sectors play a major role in all levels of key
decision making.
187
(f) For holistic recovery environmental, social and psychological recovery
processes should be integrated with infrastructural and economic recovery.
(g) Recovery process is more effective when the plan is comprehensive,

executed at the earliest and as per the planned time schedule and the
distribution is equitable.
6.13 Management Principles for Recovery
Recovery management should aim at bringing coordination and co-operation

among participating agencies should be adaptable to a wide range of situations,
and preferably, based on previous experiences.
Management of the recovery process involves two areas of management: firstly,

management by each agency of its own services and programs; and, secondly,
co-ordination across agencies to ensure that all services are provided equitably
and efficiently.
The recovery plan should be:

(a) practical,
(b) cost effective,
(c) sensitive to community needs,
(d) conforming to the socio-political environment,
(e) situation specific
(f) location specific
(g) acknowledge the dignity and identity of the target group
(h) as far as possible, conforming to the management and administrative
principles generally followed by the agencies involved in the process
(i) transparent and having measurable performance indicators
(j) aimed at equitable and fair distribution of outputs.
6.14 Interface with Response Activities
Though distinct, response and recovery activities could run concurrently.

Recovery activities should begin as early as possible without waiting for the
response activities to cease.
There may be occasions when there is overlap between response and recovery
activities, for example, when an agency has responsibilities in both areas, or
where response and recovery agencies both require access to the same limited
resources. In such situation, planning should address potential difficulties and
divided responsibilities. Resolution should occur by negotiation between
response and recovery co-ordinators. Where compromise is not possible,
precedence should be given to the response requirements.
6.15 Recovery and Prevention
The objective of the recovery activities should be, not only, restoration to pre-
disaster stage, but also, to incorporate disaster-proofing to minimise
vulnerability in future.
6.16 Recovery Management and the Community
188
The recovery process is usually most effective if the affected community is able
to participate in the management of programmes and resources made available
to it.
It will be encouraged to establish of community recovery committees, which will

include representatives of the affected community with the following in view.
Ø reinforce the local and community orientation of recovery management, and

the role of panchayat samity, block or municipal councils;
Ø Proper recognition of the common interests of people in affected

communities;
Ø Ensure fair, equitable and efficient application of recovery resources and

services;
Ø Minimise management complexity, duplication and inconsistency of approach

arising from overlapping or multiple recovery agency boundaries;
Ø Provide a basis for the identification of individual and community needs and
prioritisation and monitoring of the recovery process;
Ø Allow early identification of needs, which cannot be met from within the
community, and for obtaining effective support from district and State
levels.
Committee membership should include representatives of:
Ø Block, Panchayat Samity, Gram Panchayat or municipal council(s);

Ø Government agencies;
Ø Community groups;
Ø Non-government agencies;
Ø Members of affected communities, with women representatives and
representation from various castes, ethnic groups, occupational groups,
etc.
Each affected community has unique needs and circumstances, and the
composition of each committee should reflect those needs and circumstances. In
a more complex setting, perhaps in a large urban area, or one with a variety of
special needs groups, it may be necessary to set up a recovery committee
structure with sub-committees focusing on particular issues reporting to the
principal community recovery committee.
Guidelines on the composition and appointment of community recovery

committees should be addressed through the district recovery and block,
panchayat samity or municipal disaster management planning processes. PSDMA
shall facilitate the formation of and provide support to community recovery
committees.
Tasks of the community recovery committee will include:
Ø Monitor the progress of recovery in the affected community;
189
Ø Identify community needs and resource requirements and make
recommendations to appropriate recovery agencies, blocks, municipal
councils and the recovery managers;
Ø Liaise, consult and negotiate, on behalf of affected communities, with
recovery agencies, government departments, block, panchayat samities or
municipal councils;
Ø Liaise with district administration.
Ø Undertake specific recovery activities as determined by the circumstances
and the committee.
In performance of these tasks, the committee will have direct access to the
designated block or panchayat samity or municipality official, who can access
resources under the district recovery planning arrangements.
6.17 Recovery Management at Block/Panchayat Samity/Municipal

Level (Block/Panchayat Samity Municipal Responsibilities)
The disaster management plans of Block, Panchayat or Municipal Councils will

include recovery management.
The gram panchayat, block or municipal council is often the first point of contact
for people requiring assistance. Gram Panchayats, Blocks or Municipal Councils
should, therefore, be able to provide information about available services or
further points of contact. In addition, the local units will be expected to provide
assistance within their means. This may involve existing services, such as public
health and emergency relief, temporary housing, etc., as well as the provision of
extra services, if required.
6.18 Role of District Recovery Co-ordinators
The District Collector will designate an officer as District Recovery Co-ordinator.

The role of the District Recovery Co-ordinator will be to:
Ø Generally oversee the management of the recovery process;
Ø Assist agencies, blocks, panchayat samities and municipal councils in

providing services effectively, minimising overlap and duplication;
Ø Ensure that an assessment of needs is conducted; and, where possible,
ensure appropriate services are provided.
6.19 Recovery Management at State Level
SDMA will be in charge of recovery management at State level. Its overall

responsibility will be:
Ø Develop policy issues on recovery management

Ø Conceive and solicit programmes from Govt. departments, District
administration and NGOs.
Ø Prioritise projects
Ø Decide on the terms and conditions of execution
Ø Mobilize resource for operations
Ø Liaise and co-ordinate with the implementing agencies;
Ø Facilitate and Monitor operations
190
Ø Suggest norms for the recovery projects at GP and Block level
Ø Represent the Government in the affected community
Ø Present the interests, concerns and needs of affected communities to the
State Government;
Ø Support the local management of recovery by ensuring State co-ordination
of resources from all sources;
6.20 Funding
The financing of Recovery activities will be explored from the following sources:
Ø From budgetary provisions for recovery plans and programmes in normal

developmental activities; at State, District and GP level
Ø Calamity Relief Fund
Ø National Calamity Contingency Fund
Ø Prime Minister’s Relief Fund
Ø Chief Minister’s Relief Fund
Ø Special programmes of Govt. of India
Ø Loans and assistance from national and international funding agencies
6.21 Monitoring & Minimum Standards
Monitoring and evaluation will be done with a view to ensure

• That the outputs have incorporated disaster proofing measures for risk
reduction
• Monitoring at different stages of the process
• Enforce the adopted quality regime
• Solicit feedback from the target groups
• Transparency of operations
• Accountability
The main thrust of the Recovery Plan will be to ensure total risk
management while enabling the process of recovery through active
community participation.

peacetime. These centres will pass on the information such as map of
area, agencies likely to be involved in rescue, their contact information,
record of relief material being dispatched including what type of material.
After the disaster these centres will prepare analysis reports for loss and
compensation assessment. For this aspect response centres at 10 districts
in first phase have been proposed including one at HQ which shall be
manned 24 X 7 during emergencies. In case of disaster, these teams shall
man and co-ordinate the activities of disaster teams but otherwise they
will prepare GIS for their district including layer of information required
during disaster.
2. It is proposed to raise a State disaster response team to be stationed at

central location so that these team alongwith resources can reach the site
of disaster in shortest possible time. This team will be under the
administrative control of Director, DM and operational control of Deptt of
Civil Defense and Home Gaurds. On the lines of NDRF, they will be
imparted trainings in Medical First Responders, Flood Control, Search and
Rescue etc. During peace times, they will assist in imparting trainings to
general public. The manpower to be either recruited afresh or taken on
deputation with the Department of Civil Defense from amongst the newly
recruited constables of Punjab Police. PS Home has been requested to
confirm if the second option is possible. Decision in this matter may kindly
be taken.
3. The village level DM Teams of 20 volunteers of each village is planned to

be trained on all types of Disasters and improvisations. They will be
trained on temporary flood protection jobs as well. Volunteers shall be
paid honorarium of RS. 500 at the end of year and refreshment @ Rs.
100/- for two trainings per year as planned. No of days when their
services are used during the disaster these volunteers shall be deployed
and shall be paid as per local rates for skilled labour from the State
Disaster Response Fund [SDRF]. Individuals who shall be using their
tractor for these response operations shall be paid towards the cost of
diesel from SDRF.

4. Media plays a major role in dissemination of information. So it is proposed
to recruit one Media Manager for the State headquarter, who will move on
site during any disaster. In peace time, he will work towards preparation
and distribution of IEC material like leaflets, calendars, documentaries,
websites etc.
5. Workshops for stakeholders, doctors, army, civil defence and NGOs on
DM.
6. Procurement of essential equipment for search and rescue.

197
8.4 District Plan
The District Plan shall be reviewed and updated annually.
8.4.1 Plans by different authorities at district level and their

implementation: Every office of the Government of India and of the State
Government at the district level and the local authorities shall, subject to the
supervision of the District Authority,
8.5 Responsibilities of departments of the State Government-It shall be

the responsibility of every department of the Government of a State to:-
ü Review the enactments administered by it, its policies, rules and

regulations with a view to incorporate therein the provisions necessary for
prevention of disasters, mitigation or preparedness;
8.6 Disaster management plan of departments of State:-

Every department of the State Government, in conformity with the guidelines
laid down by the State Authority, shall-
ü Annually review and update the plan referred to in clause (a); and
8.7 The following guidelines would be adhered to while updating the

State Disaster Management Plan:
• A system would be in place to update the plan on an annual basis to

ensure that the items requiring updating are considered and are current.
This will involve:
• Submission of annually updated disaster management plans by all the
DDMA’s to SEC.
• Copies of the received updated plans from the districts to be given to the
Technical committees, which will be formed as sub-committees of the SEC
for review and suggestions.
• Final annual meeting to be organized by the SEC, which will be
participated by SEC members, Technical Committee members and all
chairpersons of the district DDMA’s.
• The updated plan will be placed before SDMA for approval.
• When an amendment is made to a plan, the amendment date would be
noted on the updated page of the plan.
• Copies of the amendments made and approved by the SDMA needs to be
circulated to all the concerned government departments and agencies.
• All the disaster management liaison officials in every agency would be
designated to ensure that all plan-holders are notified of changes as soon
as possible.
8.8 Some of the priority areas which need immediate attention or

updating from time to time are:
• Preparation of district, block, municipality and Gram Panchayat plans
(based on village as the unit of planning)
198
• Preparation of Standard Operation Procedures and field manuals
• Preparation of handbooks and checklists for prevention, preparedness,
response, mitigation activities
• Review existing developmental schemes/ projects and incorporate disaster
management principle in all schemes and all plans
• Ensuring sensitivity and incorporation of environment, gender, ethnicity,
vulnerability of socio-economically disadvantaged groups (Children, elders
and the physically challenged), food and income security, disaster
proofing measure in all development, response and recovery plans
• Modernisation of existing control rooms and strengthening of
infrastructure in disaster prone areas keeping in mind the vulnerability to
different hazards
• Preparation and updating technical and quality control aspects of all civil
constructions and non civil installations based on review of past disasters
• Prepare Block level GIS maps giving location of all items/information
required for response and recovery measures
• Setting up of State-of-art EOCs at State, District, Block and other
strategic points.
• Updating of existing Laws, Rules and Codes for better administration of
relief and recovery measures to the affected people during and after a
disaster.
The activities and responsibilities of each ESF and detailed disaster-specific

modules are some of the priority areas that will be further looked into for fine-
tuning the Response and Recovery plans.
This Plan incorporates many new concepts and has tried to build these concepts
into the existing framework and functioning of the State Government. The
response to a disaster requires indigenous systems as well as effective planning
and preparedness strategies. Since the damage and effect of the disasters are so
extreme, in case of a response situation, multiple players have to effectively
coordinate and communicate with each other for a quick and efficient recovery
and control over the emergency situation. However, both the response and
recovery measures require detailed and unique planning and implementation
strategy from all the stakeholders keeping in mind the local economic, social and
cultural variables.

DISSEMINATION OF THE PLAN
9.1 Plan Evaluation
The responsibility for dissemination of the plan will be with the SEC.
The SEC should also involve state-level NGOs in preparing suitable public
awareness material to be distributed to the public.
The State DMP must be disseminated at three levels;
ü National disaster Management Authority (NDMA), multilateral agencies

(aid agencies), state line departments and defence services.
ü To the district authorities, government departments, NGOs and other
agencies and institutions within the state and
ü Through mass media to the general public.
The content of the plan should be explained through well designed and focused
awareness programmes. The awareness programmes should be prepared in the
local language to ensure widespread dissemination.
ü Media should be extensively used for public awareness programs. These
will include newspapers

authorities at the district level;
Disaster management plan of Departments of State
Every department of the State Government shall furnish an

implementation status report to the State Executive Committee regarding
the implementation of the disaster management plan.
As disasters affect to the whole society, therefore, to implement the plan,

vertical and horizontal linkages are required between Government Departments,
NGOs, CBOs and local bodies and scientific and technical institutions.
The State Disaster Management Committee have been constituted with

Departments of Home, Transport, Health & Family, Agriculture, Food & Supplies,
Science & Technology, Irrigation & Waterways, Public Works Department,
Municipal Affairs, Urban Development, Public Health & Engineering, Animal
Husbandry, Power, Fisheries, Forest, Finance, Panchayat & Rural Development,
Environment & Pollution Control Board, Housing, Women-Child Development-
Social Welfare, Punjab Municipal Corporation, DG & IG – Police, IAF, BSF, GSI,
Indian Oil Corporation.
NGOs like Indian Red Cross Society, St. John Ambulance and other scheduled
NGOs and CBOs also take active part right from mitigation, preparedness to
rescue, rehabilitation programmes. There lies the need of co-operation and co-
ordination both vertically and horizontally.

ANNEXURE 1
ACTION PLAN FOR FLOODS
INTRODUCTION
There are three perennial rivers namely rivers Ravi, Beas & Sutlej and one
non-perennial river namely River Ghaggar in the State. Besides several Choes, Nadies &
Khads also traverse the Sub mountainous & alluvial plains before outfalling into Parent
River. Multipurpose storage reservoirs stand constructed on River Sutlej at Bhakra, River
Beas at Pong and Ranjit Sagar Dam on river Ravi. Due to construction of Dams on the
three rivers, the menace of flash floods has been considerably reduced but flash floods are
still experienced in river Ghaggar due to non-construction of dam on this river. The Drainage
Administration is entrusted with the work of maintenance and repair of 1800 Km. long Flood
Protection Embankments (Dhusis), 3800 No. River Training Works & 7238.13 Km long
Drainage system.
RIVER RAVI
River Ravi has its origin and catchment area in Himachal Pradesh and enter Punjab just
upstream of Ranjit Sagar Dam. Ever since the signing of Indus water treaty of 1960 the waters
of river Beas and Sutlej could only be harnessed and resultant construction of Ranjit Sagar Dam
thereby reducing floods to large extent. River Ravi flows almost along Indo-Pak Border and
traverses through the districts of Gurdaspur and Amritsar. Although the Ranjit Sagar Dam has
been completed and chances of floods in River Ravi have consequently been reduced to some
extent, but the areas downstream of the outfall of River Ujh and Jalalia and other natural
Streams on the right side from Jammu and Kashmir, still continue to suffer flood damages as
these two rivers are natural high velocity flashy torrents. River Ravi causes lot of destruction in
Punjab area in Narot Jaimal Singh block on its right side in Districts Gurdaspur and other
cropped area and culturable land on the left side in Districts Gurdaspur and Amritsar. The Vital
Defence installations like BOP’s Border Fencing, Border Lighting etc. are located on Flood
Protection Embankments along the river. There is constant requirement of Flood Protection
Remedial Works so that the river flow is maintained away from the embankment. Besides, the
Natural slope of the terrain being north west to south east the Pakistan is at an advantageous
position and the river training works are executed with a motive to deflect the river towards
Indian territory. The fertile lands and abadies of villages are prone to flooding, as any breach in
the embankment can change the course of river. The Financial assistance from Govt. of India
for taking up flood protection Works on river Ravi has to be liberal and manifold.
RIVER SUTLEJ
River Sutlej originates from Mansarovar and has its catchment in Himachal
Pradesh. It is 75% snow fed and 25% rain fed. It was dammed in sixties. Although the flood
potential of this river has decreased from its pre-dam stage of 7 to 8 Km. of river bed to 2 to 3 Km.
206
in the post-dam stage with the construction of embankments on both sides, yet with the
contribution of high floods from Swan, Sirsa, Budki Nadies and other drains and Nallahs in the
downstream of the Bhakra Dam, the flood intensity in the River Sutlej can increase to an extent of
3,50,000 cusecs even when there are zero releases from the Bhakra spill way. The high and
especially low flood discharges cause heavy damage to cropped area and culturable land on both
sides along flood protection embankments, throughout its length from Ropar to the Indo-Pak
Border (in District Ferozepur). The Districts affected are Nawanshehar, Jalandhar, Kapurthala on
the right side and Ropar, Ludhiana, Moga and Ferozepur on the lift side. After construction of
earthen embankments on both sides, more than One lac. Acres of agricultural land has been
reclaimed. In order to protect this land, Flood Protection Works need to be executed on regular
basis. The entire reclaimed land (in a length of 400 Km) which has been put to agricultural use
and habituated areas are continuously affected due to meandering action of the river.
It is worth mentioning that all the land in river bed itself (except under Flood
Protection Embankments) is privately owned by local farmers and any damage or erosion of their
culturable land hurts them a lot, being their only source of livelihood. It is for this reason that these
farmers look forward to Financial institutions, State/Central Govt. to help them from flood
damages by construction of flood protection works along the rivers when they enter the alluvial
plains of the state.
RIVER BEAS
River Beas has its origin in the upstream mountainous areas of Manali in
Himachal Pradesh and is mainly rainfed. This river has been dammed since seventies,
thereby reducing the floods devastation in the downstream areas of Districts Hoshiarpur,
Gurdaspur, Kapurthala, Amritsar and Taran Taran. But Soan Khad, River Chakki, Langerpur
Group of Choes etc. outfall into River Beas downstream of the Pong Dam. These flashy
torrents sometimes carry high floods during monsoon with heavy rainfall in their catchments
areas. This river has isolated flood protection embankments – on right side in District
Gurdaspur and on left side in District Kapurthala (there being a Dhaya on the right side, a
natural high edge upto about 30 feet height), before it joins river Sutlej on its right side just
upstream of Harike Head Works (Amritsar-Ferozepur Highway). The river with a length of
180 Km. in the State causes damage/erosion to the fertile land (cropped area). There is
always a persistent danger of flooding/land erosion along the river which has to be tackled on
priority.
RIVER GHAGGAR
River Ghaggar is a non-perennial Inter-State River, emanating from the
lower Himalayas near Dharampur to Dagshai in Himachal Pradesh, flowing through
the Shivaliks in Haryana State and entering Punjab near Mubarkpur in the Dera Bassi
207
Block of District Patiala. The river after entering the plains flows in a criss-cross
manner, till it reaches Rajasthan, where it disperses in Sandy dunes. Till date, no
dam has been constructed on the river due to a variety of reasons. The River
Ghaggar and its Tributaries cause damage frequently to the agricultural lands as also
to hebetated areas. The carrying capacity of the river within cut section is about
15000 cusecs whereas flood discharge upto more than 1.00 lacs cusecs often pass
through the river. Thus fertile land on other sides is adversely affected during floods.
There has been flooding of vast tracts of land along River Ghaggar in
the Districts of Patiala, Sangrur and Mansa. There is a potential obstruction to the
free flow of river caused by SYL Canal, Bhakra Main Line and Bhakra Main Branch.
The Drainage Crossing under these canals needs remodeling. The total length of
river in Punjab is 165 Km.

Each district of Punjab State has made Contingency plans for floods in
which flood protection and drainage system, flood causes and intensity,
flood prone areas, flood protection works, flood preparedness, etc is
explained.
SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS
The local community in the affected neighbourhood is always the first

responder after a disaster. Experience has shown that over 80 per-cent of
search and rescue is carried out by the local community before the
intervention of the state machinery and specialised search and rescue
teams. Thus, the Department of Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster
management, Punjab is conducting the Flood Rescue and First-Aid
Trainings to the 30 volunteers in each district of Punjab, who are trained
through National Disaster Response Force, Bathinda, Civil Defence
Training Institute, Mohali and Indian Red Cross Society, Punjab. Those
found good can be designated as District Disaster Response Force
[DDRF]. The district disaster response force would be fully trained and
fully equipped Teams who can serve as master trainers for communities
during peace times.

EVACUATION PLAN
Evacuation of human population and livestock is the only prescribed

means to save them from the fury of floods. Evacuation of flood affected
communities can be one of the most difficult response operations,
especially, when it involves large population. Evacuation needs to be
carried out as a precautionary measures based on warning indicators,
prior to impact, in order to protect flood-threatened persons from the full
effects of the disasters. Evacuation may also be necessary after the area
has been flooded in order to move persons from a flood-affected area to
safer and better surroundings.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, REHABILITATION AND

DISASTER MANAGEMENT
GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB
361
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
Emergency Support functions (ESFs) are intended to help the Incident

Commander of Punjab State at the time of emergency for restoring normal
life. The ESF is an organized system of State level departments and
agencies, which are to be worked under a structured pattern for response
and recovery in accordance with the National Disaster Management
Guidelines.
The Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs) for ESFs explains about the
operations and responsibilities of the leading and supporting agencies that
are to be involved in the ESF system. The document also outlines the
purpose and scope for each function of operation that is to be followed by
the respective ESF agencies when the Incident Commander activates the
response plan during the emergency period.
The head of each primary department who is the Team Leader of each ESF
and the nodal officers of the supporting agencies are responsible to be
prepared for potential hazards that might impact the district severely.
These departments/agencies have clearly identified roles and functions in
accordance with the National Response Plan (NRP). They have been
grouped in as ESFs as per their nature and type of assistance they can
provide. When the team leaders of these ESFs are located in the EOC,
they would function for the overall district response.
Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) related to Communication, Search

and Rescue, evacuation, law and order, medical response and Trauma
Counselling, water supply, electricity, warning and transport etc. All of
these emergency functions consist of emergency plans that would be
activated at the time of emergency.
Each ESF shall have an ESF Nodal agency, and a number of support
agencies. The ESF Nodal agency shall be directly linked to the Incident
Commander and the State EOC, and will be the main coordinator incharge
362
of the ESF. The support agencies to the ESF shall support the Nodal
agency in establishing and managing the emergency shelter and
rehabilitation.
At the district level, the Nodal Agency will lead the ESF with direct link to
the Incident Commander of the District, the Deputy Commissioner and the
district EOC. The Nodal Agency will also be a member of the Incident
Management Team lead by an officer of the Revenue/Police or other
department as decided upon by the district IC, and as required by the
Incident Manager who may draw upon some or all of the ESFs for onsite
response. The Nodal Agency must hence nominate a Team Leader (TL) at
the State level and district level, and a member for the IMT(s) in advance,
with appropriate (at least two) backstopping arrangements.
The Nodal and Support Agencies must together or separately (as decided
according to need of the specialized function) constitute QRTs with
members, and appropriate (at least two) backstopping arrangements.
Team Leader (TL) of EOC would be on the basis of its authorities,

resources, and capabilities in the functional area. He would be the member
of Disaster Management Team that represents all of the key functions of
the state in a single location under the direction of the Relief
Commissioner (Incident Commander).
All persons nominated, and all teams must go through a sensitization,

training and must be acquainted with the Standard Operating Procedures
of the ESF Plan. They must practice and update their plan and SOP
regularly (at least twice a year). Each of the Nodal and Support agencies
would also comprise of quick response team trained to carry out their
functions at the response site. The success of ESF will be of critical
importance and would reflect in the lives saved in the golden hour. Below
a list of ESFs has been given which will be activated at state/district level
during emergency situation.
All ESFs have to assist the Incident Commander i.e. Deputy Commissioner
363
at State level as per their assigned duties described in the SOP’s and to be
followed during emergency within the District/State. A detailed
organizational setup of all ESFs and team leaders has been given below.
I. SOP FOR EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS
The major functions of the incident command system are summarized as

follows. Nevertheless, they are to be released in cooperation of all the
ESFs and participating agencies in disaster management. The Incident
commander is given with full control and command over the entire teams
in state level.
364

ESF #12 - Help Lines and Information Dissemination
Background
Information is a powerful tool. In this day and age of instant news and the
strides made by information technology, the information available is
overwhelming and very comprehensive. In times of disaster, this information
is often chaotic and sketchy. Correct information can not only help
tremendously in the decision making process, but also allay the fears of the
general public and provide them with the knowledge they can use to save
themselves. Additionally, there is widespread panic and concern about the
safety of friends and family. Help lines set up for this purpose can assist in
locating and reuniting people.
