Dr. Amita Prasad, IAS Director General Administrative Training Institute Laitha Mahal Road MYSORE 570 011 FOREWORD The National Disaster Management Act was brought in year 2005 to promote a proactive approach focussing on all phases of disaster management and to give more coherence to the institutional structure required to take forward the paradigm shift in the approach to disaster management in the country. Accordingly, the state of Karnataka has formed the State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Management Authorities at all the districts for effective management of disasters in the state through the implementation of District Disaster Management Plans. The Centre for Disaster Management, ATI Mysore played a major role in preparation and reformulation of District Disaster Management Plans (DDMP) of all 30 districts and Preparation of State Disaster Management Plan (SDMP) by conducting consultative workshops at each districts which would guide the state/district administration to take up preventive and mitigation measures against disasters in the state. The Centre has taken up the task of Automation of Disaster Management Plan along with the training and capacity building activities under the GoI-UNDP programmes. A pilot study on Automation of DDMP of Raichur district is a disaster management software technology with real-time wireless synchronization software to collect, store, analyze, communicate, co-ordinate and authentic information geo-stamped with GPS location and time, using a web based geo-information database/framework. The Centre could prepare an automated DDMP of Raichur first of its kind in the country based on collation and integration of data to generate DDMP which guides the district administration for timely actions on disaster response. I acknowledge the contributions of Sri. R. Manoj, IFS, Special Officer (Elections) for his technical expertise provided to complete this task. I thank the CDM team Dr. R. Dharmaraju, Dr. G. Vishwanath, Dr. Ashok Sanganal, and Dr. J.R. Paramsha for taking deep interest and involvement in preparing the automated DDMP of Raichur. And also I record appreciation to M/s Wizards Technologies, Bangalore for providing the technical consultancy services, and support extended by Raichur district administration for preparing the automated DDMP. I express thanks to the Department of Revenue (Disaster Management), Government of Karnataka for entrusting this work to CDM ATI Mysore. Mysore July 06, 2012 (AMITA PRASAD)

1. Preface Disaster means unforeseen and serious threat to public life with suddenness in terms of time. Declaration of disaster depends on gravity or magnitude of situation, number of victims involved, time factor i.e. suddenness of an event, nonavailability of medical care in terms of space, equipments medical and paramedical staff, medicines and other basic human needs like food, shelter and clothing, weather conditions in the locality of incident etc., thus enhancing human sufferings and create human needs that the victim can not alleviate without assistance. Disasters have been occurring ever since the existence of mankind. Raichur district has Geographical area of 835843 Hectares which has covered most of the dry / wet lands, and often faces drought, and occasionally cyclones and floods like 2005-06 and 2006-07, 2009-10 While not all natural calamities can be predicted and prevented, a state of preparedness and ability to respond quickly to a natural calamity can considerably mitigate loss of life and property and human suffering and restore normalcy at the earliest.

2. Introduction 2.1 Definition of Disaster An occurrence of an event with severity and magnitude that normally results in deaths, injuries, and property damage, which cannot be managed through the routine procedures and resources of government. It usually develops suddenly and unexpectedly and requires immediate, coordinated, and effective response by multiple government, voluntary and private sector organizations to meet human needs and speedy recovery. Disaster Management is a collective term encompassing all aspects of planning for and responding to disasters, including both pre- and postdisaster activities. It may refer to the management of both risks and consequences of disasters. The following diagram shows global trends in disasters, From the above figure, it may be noticed that the disasters are on increase. The number of disasters/events which was 73 in 1900-09 have increased to 4494 during 2000-2009. The rise between the decade of 1900-99 over the period of 2000-09 has been more than 67%. 2.2 Disasters in India India is vulnerable, in varying degrees, to a large number of natural as well as manmade disasters. 58.6 per cent of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very high intensity; over 40 million hectares (12 per cent of land) is prone to floods and river erosion; of the 7,516 km long coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones and tsunamis; 68 per cent of the cultivable area is vulnerable to drought and hilly areas are at risk from landslides and avalanches. Vulnerability to disasters/ emergencies of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) origin also exists. Heightened vulnerabilities to disaster risks can be related to expanding 5

6 2. INTRODUCTION population, urbanization and industrialization, development within high-risk zones, environmental degradation and climate change. 2.3 Vulnerability Profile of India A multi-hazard map of India may be seen in the following figure. Losses due to disasters have been shown in the following Figure. It shows that economic loss is accounted for 2% of the GDP due to disasters as per the study of the World Bank. 2.4 Hazard Profile of India India is one of the ten worst disaster prone countries of the world. The country is prone to disasters due to number of factors; both natural and human induced, including adverse geo climatic conditions, topographic features, environmental degradation, population growth, urbanisation, industrialization, non scientific development

2.4. HAZARD PROFILE OF INDIA 7 practices etc. The factors either by themselves or by accelerating the intensity and frequency of disasters are responsible for heavy toll of human lives and disrupting the life supporting system in the country. The basic reason for the high vulnerability of the country to natural disasters is its unique geographical and geological situations. As far as the vulnerability to disaster is concerned, the five distinctive regions of the country i.e. Himalayan region, the alluvial plains, the hilly part of the peninsula, and the coastal zone have their own specific problems. While on one hand the Himalayan region is prone to disasters like earthquakes and landslides, the plain is affected by floodsalmosteveryyear. Thedesertpartofthecountryisaffectedbydroughts and famine while the coastal zone susceptible to cyclones and storms. The natural geological setting of the country is the primary basic reason for its increased vulnerability. The geo-tectonic features of the Himalayan region and adjacent alluvial plains make the region susceptible to earthquakes, landslides, water erosion etc. Though peninsular India is considered to be the most stable portions, but occasional earthquakes in the region shows that geo- tectonic movements are still going on within its depth. The tectonic features, characteristics of the Himalaya are prevalent in the alluvial plains of Indus, Ganga and Brahmputra too, as the rocks lying below the alluvial pains are just extension of the Himalayan ranges only. Thus this region is also quite prone to seismic activities. As a result of various major river systems flowing from Himalaya and huge quantity of sediment brought by them, the area is also suffering from river channel siltation, resulting into frequent floods, especially in the plains of Uttar Pardesh and Bihar. The western part of the country, including Rajasthan, Gujarat and some parts of Maharashtra are hit very frequently by drought situation. If Monsoon worsens the situation spreads in other parts of the country too. The disturbance in the pressure conditions over oceans, results into cyclones in coastal regions. The geo tectonic movements going on in the ocean floor make the coastal region prone to tsunami disaster too. The extreme weather conditions, huge quantity of ice and snow stored in the glaciers etc. are other natural factors which make the country prone to various forms of disasters. Along with the natural factors discussed in the preceding text, various human induced activities like increasing demographic pressure, deteriorating environmental conditions, deforestation, unscientific development, faulty agricultural practices and grazing, unplanned urbanisation, construction of large dams on river channels etc. are also responsible for accelerated impact and increase in frequency of disasters in the country.

8 2. INTRODUCTION 2.5 Vulnerability Profile of Karnataka Karnataka is vulnerable to various natural disasters mainly droughts, floods, cyclones, landslides, coastal erosion and earthquake etc. The state is being faced by the brunt of moderate to severe floods in most of the districts. Floods are associated with cloud bursts, cylones or depressions in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The floods are quite common in the districts of Belgaum, Bijapur, Bagalkote, Raichur, Gulbarga, Shimaoga, Chikkamagalur, Udupi, Coorg, Bellary, Dakshina Kannada, Dharwad, Davanagere, Gadag, Hassan, Uttara Kannada, Koppal, Bidar, Bangalore (R), Bangalore (U), Kolar, Mandya, Mysore, Chamarajanagara. In the North Karnataka region covering the Krishna and Godavari Basins, even when the state was suffering under drought conditions, heavy discharges from Maharashtra caused floods. The floods in the Districts of Gulbarga, Belgaum, Bijapur, Bidar, Bagalkot, Raichur etc., as a result of outflow of excess water from the Krishna and Bheema Basins from Maharashtra are affecting lakhs of people. Cities face floods causing severe damages to infrastructure services and loss of life. The coastal districts namely Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada with a coastal line of 320 kms and coastal population of 43.64 Lakhs are under the direct threat of cyclones and severe cyclones originating in Arabian Sea and indirect attack of cyclones originating along the Eastern coastline. The high density of population along the coastline of Karnataka has made the population highly vulnerable to the storm surge and high speed wind accompanied with cyclone. It is important to note that infrastructure such as rail and road networks which are adjacent to the sea coast are constantly threatened by the erosion caused by giant sea waves particularly during storm surges and cyclones The state is incurring huge expenditure almost every year on prevention of coastal erosion for the 320 Kms of coastal line. The State has been placed under Category (II) A - Low Vulnerability along with other states of Maharashtra, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Out of total geographical area of 190.238 Lakh ha, about 44.92 lakh ha area covering 15 districts and 50 taluks is affected by winds and cyclones which is falling under moderate risk zone (Vs=39m/s) and remaining area falls under low damage risk zone(33m/s). Apart from coastal erosion, the coastal areas are facing disasters such as boat capsizing and oil spillage due to extreme weather conditions in the sea. As per the revised Earthquake Hazard Mapping, 22.13% of the total geographical area is under Moderate earthquake damage risk zone & remaining area of the state is under low damage risk zone. The state of Karnataka has reported more than 500 earthquake tremors in the last three decades with most of them having low magnitude. It is found that the weak zones around the northern Karnataka bordering Maharashtra could cause heavy damages in future. The areas of southern part of Karnataka are also not free from frequent tremors. The Karnataka state is categorized as moderate to low seismic risk zone. The districts of Bidar, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Bagalkot, Belgaum, Dharwad, Uttar kannada, Shimoga, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu are falling in Zone III (Moderate Damage Risk Zone (MSK VII) and all other Districts are falling under Zone II( Low Damage Risk zone MSK VI).

2.6. DISASTER TYPES 9 Hilly regions of Western Ghats spread in the districts of Kodagu, Chikmagalur, Hassan, Shimoga, D. Kannada and U. Kannada record a very high normal rainfall of 2000mm to 4000mm. Landslides are common in these districts. During the rainy periods these hilly regions regularly experience displacement of rocks and soils causing widespread damage to property, infrastructure such as rails, roads and loss of human life. Karnataka stands Second only to Rajasthan in terms of Drought Affected areas. The state is highly vulnerable to drought as compared to its neighbouring states. Every year, more than 50% of the talukas are declared as drought affected. About 152.1 Lakhs ha (80%) out of 190.238 Lakh ha is affected by drought in Karnataka. Groundwater levels are depleting due to successive droughts and quality of water is getting deteriorated in terms of Fluoride, Nitrate and Salinity. Although, drought maynotposegreatdangerimmediatelywithinafewminutesascouldhappenincase of a severe earthquake, it has huge impact on the occurrence of loss of livelihoods, exodus, poverty, unrest, terrorism, robbery etc. In addition to the above disasters, the state is facing many manmade disasters such as terrorist attacks, accidents, fire accidents, communal violence, festival related disasters etc. 2.6 Disaster Types Various types of disasters have been categorized under five sub groups, they are as follows; Water and climate related disasters Floods Cyclones Tornadoes & Hurricanes Hailstorm Cloud Burst Thunder & Lightening Snow Avalanches Heat Wave & Clod Wave Sea Erosion Droughts Geological related disasters Earthquakes Tsunami

2.7. RAICHUR DISTRICT PROFILE 11 2.7 Profile derives its name from its headquarters town. It is also called as Rayachooru in Kannada. It is bound by river Krishna on the northern side and in the south by the river Tungabhadra, a tributary of Krishna. The land between the two river is historically known as Do-Aab located between 15o 16 to 16o 34 North Latitude and 75o 40 to 77o 35 East Longitude at an altitude of 336 MSL. The general slope of the district is from the north-west towards the south-east, its average height above the Mean Sea-Level being just 1,311 feet. It is surrounded by Gulbarga District on the north, on the west by the District Koppal, Bellary, Bijapur and Bagalkot, on the east by Mahaboobnagar District of Andhra Pardesh. It has an eventful and rich history beginning from the days of the Mauryan King Ashoka. Lying between two important rivers, the Krishna and the Tungabhadra, this potentially rich tract had been a bone of contention between Kingdoms. Late during Vijayanagar rule, Raichur had become an object of constant dispute between the Vijayanagar Kings and the Bahmani Sultans of Gulbarga and Adil Shah of Bijapur. It was a part of the Hyderabad State till the reorganisation of the States on 1st November 1956. Previously, it was consisting of nine talukas. However in the year 1997 the District was bifurcated into two Districts namely Raichur and Koppal. was formed with 5 Taluks namely Raichur, Manvi, Deodurg, Lingasgur and Sindhanur with Raichur town as District Headquarters and the rest of the four talukas are identified as Koppal district. comprising five talukas divided into two Sub Division viz; Raichur, Deodurg and Manvi Taluks in Raichur Sub Division and Lingsugur and Sindhanur Taluks in Lingsugur Sub Division. It has 883 villages with 8 town areas dividing into 37 Revenue Hoblies with 164 Gram Panchayats. The district is spread in an area of 8358.43 sq. KMs having a mix of black cotton soil and red soil in the ratio of 70:30, The District has a net cultivable area of 5.67 lakh hectares, of which 2.99 lakh hectares is cultivated in kharif and 2.86 lakh hectares in rabi. The major crops in Rabi are jawar, Bengal gram and sunflower and the major crops in kharif is paddy, sunflower, bajra and groundnut. The annual rainfall of the district is 621.0 mm. The population of district was 19,24,773 as per 2011 Census, of which males and females were 9,66,493 and 9,58,280 respectively. The sex ratio i.e., number of female per 1000 male was 992 in the district. The population living in rural area was 14,37,359 and remaining was urban population. The main official language is Kannada and other spoken languages are Urdu and Telugu. 2.8 Necessity for DDMP The preparations of DDMP is necessary, 1. To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available with the various agencies involved in the management of disaster in the district. 2. Assess their adequacies and short falls if any in providing a multi disaster response.

12 2. INTRODUCTION 3. Suggest institutional strengthening, technology support, up gradation of information system and data management for improving the quality of administrative responses to disaster at the district level and finally. 4. To evolve DDMP as an effective managerial tool. 2.9 Objectives of DDMP In the absence of a defined plan, response to a disaster would be arbitrary leading to over emphasis of some actions or other actions, which would be critical. Moreover, due to absence of a defined response structure and responsibilities allocations there would be mismanagement of resources and overlap of actions among various agencies, which may exacerbate the situation thereby compounding the disaster effect. A formal planning for managing disaster is therefore necessary to ensure minimize of hardship. This can be achieved only through, 1. Preplanning of proper sequence of response actions. 2. Allocation of responsibilities to the participating agencies. 3. Effective management of resources, 4. Developing codes and standard operating procedures for smooth coordination between various departments and relief agencies involved. TheobjectivesofanyDDMPshouldbetolocalizeadisasterandtothemaximum extent possible contain it so as to minimize the impact on life, the environment and property.

3. Disaster Management Cycle The disaster management cycle has four phases - Response, Recovery, Mitigation, Prepardness. Although described as separate phases, each phase is tied to the others. It is helpful to think of the disaster cycle as a simple equation. Every risk or vulnerability we mitigate today reduces our overall exposure whereby decreasing the pressure on the response side of the disaster cycle and lowering our recovery costs from future events. This section defines the four phases and describes plans and activities associated with them. 3.1 Response Response begins as soon as a disaster event occurs. Response is the provision of search and rescue, medical services, and access control as well as repairing and restoring communication and data systems during a crisis. A coordinated response plan can help reduce casualties, damage, and decrease recovery time. Examples include emergency operations plans and business continuity plans and established networks of first responders. 3.2 Recovery Recovery operations provide for basic needs and restore the community. There are two components in the recovery phase. During the first phase, infrastructure is examined, and repairs are conducted to restore water, power, communication and other utilities. The second phase includes returning to normal functions and addressing future disasters. The process of recovery can take months or possibility years to accomplish depending upon the event. An example would be the development of a post-disaster recovery plan. 13

14 3. DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE 3.3 Preparedness Preparedness refers to activities, programs, and systems developed in advance of a disaster designed to build and enhance capabilities at an individual, business, community, state and federal level to support the response to and recovery from disasters. Example strategies might include developing awareness and outreach campaigns and training targeted to individuals and businesses on personal and professional responsibility to be self sufficient for at least 72 hours post-disaster. 3.4 Mitigation or Risk Reduction Mitigation is the act of reducing or eliminating future loss of life and/or property, and/or injuries resulting from hazards through short and long-term activities. Mitigation strategies may range in scope and size; however, no matter the size, effective mitigation activities have the potential to reduce the vulnerability and/or exposure to risk and impact of disasters. Example mitigation activities for flooding include acquiring, elevating, or relocating structures; for seismic include building code, retrofitting buildings or infrastructure and non-structurally retrofitting labs and offices; and for wind or winter storms include under grounding power lines and tree replacement programs.

These organisms may cause epidemics. As shown in the above table, most of the outbreaks/epidemics reported in India are due to water-borne diseases, vector-borne diseases and vaccine preventable diseases. While National Vector Borne Diseases Control Programme (NVBDCP) is the key programme for prevention/ control of outbreak of epidemics of malaria, dengue, chikungunya etc, vaccines administered under UIP/EPI reduce the morbidity and mortality due to diseases like measles, diphtheria, pertussis, poliomyelitis etc. Availability of safe water and adoption of personal and domestic hygienic practices are important measures to prevent/control epidemics of water-borne diseases like cholera, viral hepatitis etc. Since epidemics are major health hazards it is necessary to have trained persons to handle disasters of such nature. Proper training in first aid, hygiene and treatment is essential to deal with biological disasters. To effectively treat cases of epidemics public awareness and education, before and after the epidemic, is vital. Studies have related that the following are major problems faced before and during the outbreak of epidemics. Inadequate medical and health facilities. Inadequate supply of pure water. Lack of medical and health assistance. Absence of effective control of common diseases. Unsanitary conditions. Malnutrition. Steps for effectively tackling biological disasters, Setting up emergency health service. Preparing a contingency plan. Training of personnel to deal with such emergencies. Awareness camps for epidemic prone areas. Local health authorities have been instructed to be in preparedness with medicines and other infrastructure to deal effectively with outbreak of any epidemic in the district. Food poisoning is a phenomenon where a large number of people could get affected after consuming contaminated food. This happens mostly during religious and social functions during which food is prepared in make shift kitchen on mass scale.

In case of major building collapse the major role is to be played by the Fire Department with the assistance of the Police and Health Authorities. Shifting victims to the nearby hospital should be done after providing necessary first aid. Necessary equipment to remove debris should be kept readily available to save victims who may be buried inside. Volunteers and NGOs must be trained properly to handle such so that emergency relief is carried on smoothly. Fire disasters occur mainly due to carelessness or mischief by miscreants. Preventive measures such as avoiding storage of large quantities of combustible materials in one place, firefighting equipment in petrol filling stations, textile, plastic, paper and wood industries should be insisted upon during inspection by the concerned authorities.

8. Do s and Don ts for Disasters 8.1 Floods Preparedness Find out if your home, school, workplace, or other frequently visited places are in flood prone areas. Prepare an evacuation plan: Identify safe places(high places inside and outside the house) and evacuation routes. Prepare an emergency kit. During a flood alert Keep watch on weather and listen to radio or TV. Remain awake during nights of heavy continuous rain and be ready to move to a safer location. Put some food and clean water as well as valuable items in the highest possible place. Put dangerous goods (e.g. chemicals) in a safe place. Keep alert about the community warning systems: loudspeakers, bells, sirens. During the Flood Be calm and listen to elders, experienced persons and authorities. Remind adults to turn off main water, electricity and gas. If your house is in danger move out to an identified safe shelter in the area. Take your emergency kit with you. Keep windows open once you evacuate from your house. Avoid wading even in shallow waters as it may be contaminated. If you must enter, wear appropriate shoes and use a stick to know the water level before moving ahead. Do not play or swim in flood waters. Do not eat food which has been in contact with the flood water or stale food. 45

46 8. DO S AND DON TS FOR DISASTERS Collect rain water until you get fresh water supplies. Boil all water before drinking it.

After the Flood Return home only once you are told that it is safe. Clean and disinfect your home and surrounding. Do not go sightseeing through flooded areas. Drink boiled water until the water wells/ supplies have been declared safe. Watch out for wild animals and poisonous snakes that may come with the water. 8.2 Landslide Listen to weather forecast on the radio, TV etc. about heavy rains. Observe unusual signs such as appearance of cracks and their rapid expansion over the slope. Move away and inform elders/responsible persons when such signs are recognized. Never go closer to observe cracks on the slope. Remain awake during nights of heavy continuous rain and be ready to move to a safer location. Listen for abnormal sounds of soil and rock movement or breaking of trees. They may be associated with landslide movements. Prepare safe water facilities (covered with a lid). Prepare first aid facilities. During In case you have to evacuate, do so immediately. Do not try to collect belongings. Landslides can occur suddenly. When you see falling rocks, seek cover behind trees and other solid objects. Landslides, as a result of ground shaking, can create a large volume of mud flow along the slope into the valley. Therefore, do not move in the direction of the valley if you are requested to evacuate, move to elevated areas.

11. HRVA - Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Assessment A disaster risk reduction strategy essentially includes a proper hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment. It also requires resources, institutional & operational capacities and infrastructural facilities like GIS tools& software to execute them. The essential features of such a strategy would require hazard mapping, assessment of hazard risks, and determination of probability of hazard event, vulnerability & capacity assessment on various environmental, social, economic and physical aspects followed by proper risk analysis. 11.1 What is HRVA? The objective of undertaking a HRVA is primarily to anticipate the potential problems and possible solutions to help to save lives, protect property, assets, reduce damage and facilitate a speedy recovery. It is worthwhile to mention that HRVA is a means towards becoming disaster resilient and is not an end in itself. HRVA is a critical part of the disaster risk reduction program and it has the potential to help the necessary authorities to prepare for emergencies. Use of HRVA helps the policy makers, administrators and the community to make risk based choices to address vulnerabilities, mitigate hazards, and prepare for response to and recovery from hazard events. Apart from the central government, the state governments, district authorities, even the local level governance institutions (like municipalities and village panchayats) can undertake hazard risk and vulnerability analysis based on their respective locations vis-a-vis hazards. In order to have a common understanding of HRVA methodology, it is important to define what we mean by Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability. 11.2 Hazard A potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity, which may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. Hazards can include latent conditions that my represent future threats and can have different origins: natural (geological, hydro- meteorological and biological) and / or induced by human process (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 and probability. 81

82 11. HRVA - HAZARD, RISK AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT 11.3 Vulnerability A set of conditions and processes resulting from physical, social, economical and environmental factors, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards Positive factors, that increase the ability of people and the society they live in, to cope effectively with hazards, that increase their resilience, or that otherwise reduce their susceptibility, are considered as capacities. 11.4 Risk The probability of harmful consequences, or expected loss (of lives, people injured, property, livelihoods, economic activity disrupted or environmental damaged) resulting from interactions between natural or human induced hazards, and vulnerable / capable conditions. Conventionally risk is expressed by the equation Risk = Hazards x Vulnerability / capacity Beyond expressing a probability of physical harm, it is crucial to appreciate that risks are always created or exist within social systems. It is important to consider the social contexts in which risks occur and that people therefore do not necessarily share the same perceptions of risk and their underlying causes. 11.5 Risk assessment / analysis A process to determine the nature and extent of risk by analyzing potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability / capacity that could pose a potential threat or harm to people, property, livelihoods and the environment on which they depend. Theprocessofconductingariskassessmentisbasedonareviewofbothtechnical features of hazards such as their location, intensity and probability, and also the analysis of the physical, social and economic dimensions of vulnerability, while taking particular account of the coping capabilities pertinent to the risk scenarios. 11.6 Risk management The systematic management of administrative decisions, organization, operational skills and responsibilities to apply policies, strategies and practices for disaster risk reduction. 11.7 Disaster risk reduction (disaster reduction) The systematic development and application of policies, strategies and practices to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout a society, to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) adverse impact of hazards, within the broad context of sustainable development.

11.8. PREVENTION 83 11.8 Prevention Activities to provide outright avoidance of the adverse impact of hazards and related environmental, technological and biological disasters. Depending on social and technical feasibility and cost/ benefit considerations, investing in preventive measures is justified in areas frequently affected by disaster. In the context of public awareness raising and education, prevention refers to attitude and behaviour leading towards a culture of prevention. 11.9 Mitigation Structural and non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of natural hazards, environmental degradation and technological hazards. 11.10 Preparedness Activities and measures taken in advance to ensure effective response to the impact of disaster, including the issuance of timely and effective early warnings and the temporary removal of people and property from a threatened location. 11.11 Early warning The provision of timely and effective information, through identified institutions, that allow individuals at risk of a disaster, to take action to avoid or reduce their risk and prepare for effective response. Early warning systems consist of three elements (i)forecasting and prediction of impending events, (ii) processing and dissemination of warnings to political authorities and population, and (iii) undertaking appropriate reaction to warnings. 11.12 Vulnerability - various types Vulnerability is generally referred to as the inability of people, organizations, and societies to withstand adverse impacts of multiple stresses to which they are exposed. It isbased on the premisethat though differentgroups withinasocietymay have the same level of exposure to a natural hazard, it may have a varying consequences for each of these groups, since they have diverging capacities and abilities to handle the impacts of such a hazard. Over the years several models of vulnerability analysis has emerged. Risk-Hazard (RH) model (diagram after Turner et al., 2003), considers the impact of a hazard as a function of exposure and sensitivity. To assess vulnerability, there is a need to understand the conditions that make exposure of an individual/ community/ region unsafe, leading to vulnerability and the causes leading to creation of these conditions. Thus vulnerability assessments would require systematic examinations of population groups, building elements, facilities, or components of the economy to identify features that are susceptible to

84 11. HRVA - HAZARD, RISK AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT damage from the effects of natural hazards. Keeping these in mind there are four broad areas in which different types of vulnerabilities have been grouped. Physical Vulnerability Social Vulnerability Economical Vulnerability Ecological Vulnerability 11.12.1 Physical 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. Physical vulnerability is determined by the aspects such as population density levels, remoteness of a settlement, the site, design and materials used for critical infrastructure and for housing. 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 as adopted by the BMPTC for Vulnerability Atlas of India. Type of Roof Pitched or sloping including tiles, slate; corrugated iron, zinc or other metal sheets; asbestos cement sheets; plastic polythene, thatch, grass, leaves, bamboo, etc. Flat including brick, stone and lime; reinforced brick concrete/reinforced cement concrete. Type of Wall Mud, unburnt bricks, stone laid in mud or lime mortar Burnt bricks laid in cement, lime or mud mortar Cement concrete Wood or Ekra wall Corrugated iron, zinc or other metal sheets Grass, leaves, reeds/bamboo/thatch, plastic polythene & others Type of Flooring Various types like mud, stone, concrete, wood or bamboo, mosaic floor tiles, etc. A combination of local hazard intensity and vulnerability of existing house types is used for carrying out risk analysis of the village, block and district. This index would help the village communities and house holders to develop village and district hazard maps and village &district risk tables.

11.12. VULNERABILITY - VARIOUS TYPES 85 11.12.2 Social Vulnerability Social Vulnerability is defined as the exposure of groups of individuals to stress as a result of the impacts of hazards and related extremes. Social vulnerability is linked to the level of development in terms of human development indicators and well being of individuals, communities and society. It includes variables measuring levels of literacy, the existence of peace and security, access to basic human rights, governance, social equity, gender issues, public health, population density, livelihood activities, traditional values, legal system, traditional knowledge, social networking of relatives and friends, political system, customs and ideological beliefs and overall collective organizational systems 4. 11.12.3 Economic Vulnerability Economic status of households or individuals is directly related to the level of vulnerability due to natural hazards. Levels of vulnerability are highly dependent upon the economic status of individuals, communities and nations. The socially deprived groups female, children, SC, ST and minorities, are generally far more vulnerable than economically better off segments of the society. This would reduce the capacity of this group in case of natural hazards and therefore it will increase the vulnerability and risk. Economic vulnerability is function of financial accessibility of individuals and communities, debt and the degree of access to credit, loans and insurance. The vulnerable groups are having inadequate access to critical and basic socioeconomic infrastructure, including communication networks, utilities and supplies, transportation, water, sewage and health care facilities, increase peoples exposure to risk. Economic Vulnerability Index is a composition of the following indicators: population size, remoteness, merchandise export concentration, share of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in gross domestic product, homelessness owing to natural disasters, instability of agricultural production, and instability of exports of goods and services The Economic Vulnerability is linked to the following parameters, Small size, which inhibits countries from taking advantage of the economics of scale Economic openness, which means lack of control of issues managed at a global level

86 11. HRVA - HAZARD, RISK AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT Export concentration narrowed to a few, selected products Dependence on strategic imports, particularly energy and raw materials Insularity and remoteness, leading to high transport costs Fragility of their ecosystems, which is exacerbated by natural phenomena 11.12.4 Ecological Vulnerability The discussion of ecological aspects of vulnerability covers a wide portfolio of issues in the inter-acting social, physical, economic and ecological aspects of sustainable development as it relates to disaster risk reduction. The key aspects of ecological vulnerability could be the extent of natural resource depletion, the state of resource degradation, loss of resilience of the ecological systems, loss of biodiversity, exposure to toxic and hazardous pollutants. The social, economic/population, physical/infrastructure and environmental/ ecological vulnerabilities are based on the development of different vulnerability indices. The variables of vulnerability analysis are divided into four major categories. These are, Environmental/Ecological Vulnerability Index Population Vulnerability Index Social Vulnerability Index Infrastructure Vulnerability Index The overall vulnerability index is a function of these vulnerability indices. This also involves prioritization by assigning weights to various indices depending upon scale and context of implementation.

Exposure People, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses. Extensive Risk The widespread risk associated with the exposure of dispersed populations to

136 IV. GLOSSARY repeated or persistent hazard conditions of low or moderate intensity, often of a highly localized nature, which can lead to debilitating cumulative disaster impacts. Forecast Definite statement or statistical estimate of the likely occurrence of a future event or conditions for a specific area. Geological Hazard Geological process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. Greenhouse Gases Gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earths surface, the atmosphere itself, and by clouds.
