Preparedness for the
Monsoon 2016
-1-
Foreword
Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) is makeup of steep slopes, complex geological
structures with active tectonic processes and continued seismic activities. The region has
climate system with great seasonality in rainfall. In combination, they make natural
hazards, especially landslides and water induced disasters, a common phenomenon in the
region.
The territory is exposed to a wide range of natural hazards. Floods are also
becoming amongst the most common forms of natural hazards in the region as seen in last
few years. 2010 flood and flash flooding of 2012, 2014, 2015 and pre monsoon rain
induced devastation in 2016 caused enormous economic & live losses. Flash floods are the
most damaging type of floods due to poor mitigation measures as they often take place in
remote mountainous areas. Flash floods having short lag time but difficult to forecast
compared to other types of floods. The population in the State has become more
vulnerable due to increasing exposure to flash floods in mountainous regions related to
climate change and extreme weather events.
In northern part of State, every year landslides kill the people and destroy several
homes leaving inhabitants shelter less. Due to frequent rains and landslides, road network
is consequently hit hard resulting blockade of many areas. Resultantly, mobility of the
inhabitants is badly hampered, transportation suspended and shortage of essential
commodities occurred. These events generally do not find their way into the national or
international media, however carrying disastrous effects on lives and livelihoods of the
people of the area.
Only during current year the land slides events in different parts of State has
claimed 25 precious lives rendered over 1500 thousand houses damaged. Experiencing
pre-monsoon this time many landslides and road blockade have been reported in different
parts of AJK. Slide triggered at the Danna, Sarli Sacha and Surgan villages are among of
the worst case in point. A huge landslide generated at Danna village which lies in the
District Muzaffarabad has posed serious life threat to the population out of whom shifted
to alternate safer places. This is a massive landslide which runs over very steep
topography having debris flow in 2 sq Km area. In this backdrop, it is high time to
mobilize resources and ensure their prompt deployment
Given the complexity of relief operations and the multitude of preparedness
mechanisms within the government and humanitarian agencies, contingency planning
requires to define what preparedness mechanisms will be used when, where and why their
emergency response resources will be deployed, when emergency funds will be used and
what kind of responses, materials and types of personnel they will need.
SDMA continues to emphasize upon the contingency planning process as a
preparedness measure for response to natural hazards. Keeping in view, the contingency
plans for past five years, the upcoming 2016 monsoon contingency plan is prepared. The
State level contingency plan is formulated for translating recommendations from district
administration and other stakeholders into action. It focuses on planning for hazards to
identify and analyze related risks for not just their humanitarian impacts but also
associated adverse affects on private and public infrastructure, and to define roles and
responsibilities of diverse stakeholders for preparedness and adequate response. Thereby
ensuring coordination and optimizing the use of resources among agencies in the field
-2-
while complementing each others efforts with appropriate linkages and better coordination
to support actions along lines of command.
The monsoon weather forecast of 2016 is likely to be normal with ±10% deviation
however uncertainty will prevail throughout monsoon season which may trigger some
extreme rainfall event resulting in flood/flash floods.
Moreover flash floods can’t be predicted at high altitude areas, where the
phenomenon is developed within hours of high rains. It was observed during 2014 and
2015 monsoon that the cloudburst in some specific areas did not allow for disseminating
early warning regarding flash flood to the habitants resulted in human and property losses.
The isolated incident also highlighted the importance of adopting measures to achieve the
contingency plan outcomes. This document largely focuses on developing a practical and
action oriented preparedness planning mechanism at State level. Keeping in view the
worst case scenario, it mainly involves identifying gaps and challenges in effective
emergency response and then planning and implementing a series of actions to increase
response capacity and reduce potential gaps. The key anticipated outcomes of this
document are (1) awareness for building capacities for response (2) depict anticipated
threat perception for earmarking required resources (3) building integrated planning
capacities and (4) define required gaps ensuring preparatory measures.

Monsoon Risks and Hazards
Monsoon hazards in AJ&K emerge as a result of heavy precipitation and
subsequent flooding along the main rivers and through flash flooding in numerous hill
torrents across the State. However, the simultaneous occurrence of flash floods, heavy
precipitation, cloudburst phenomenon and land sliding can worsen the impacts of
monsoons instigated disasters in the State. Depending on the intensity of monsoon
precipitation and climate changes, AJ&K is vulnerable to both sudden and expected
hydro-meteorological disasters which require integrated surge and quick response.
Major Threats from Monsoon
i. Flash Flooding
ii. Land Slides/Slopes /Mud Flows / Avalanches
iii. Road blockage and Collapse of Bridges
iv. Loss of infrastructure in public and private sector
v. Collapse of Road Communication Network
vi. Scouring of Agriculture land on rivers and Nullah’s banks
vii. Population Displacement from Flood affected areas
viii. Livelihood Destruction and Food Insecurity
ix. Reactivation of Quake Triggered Landslides
x. Human and Livestock Casualties and Shelter Losses
xi. Health and Security Issues
-6-
Unprecedented Flood and Flash Flood Shortfalls during past years
The monsoon losses recur almost every year, the area also suffers from flash
floods. Although there are no systematic records, floods of 1992 and 2010 in the region
were the most devastating in the history of AJ&K. Flash floods as witnessed in year 2012
2014 and 2015 also occurred frequently during past years owing to climate change and are
characterized by nearly absence of early warning cover to warn vulnerable communities.
The 2016 pre monsoon rain induced events like collapse of houses and land sliding can
also ranked as extreme of the extreme event in the archive history of region as that
claimed 25 precious lives and left nearly 20 persons injured. While such events are on the
rise over the last couple of years because of changing weather patterns, its humanitarian
consequences are accentuated owing to absence of any viable local early warning system
and the sudden onset nature of the hazard.

RISK ENHANCING FACTORS
Climatic variations of the AJK were highlighted while pointing out all those
critical and contributory factors which may enhance the existing potential threats during
heavy and harsh monsoon season which include:
(i) Massive environmental degradation due to both natural disasters and
anthropogenic activities.
(ii) Land encroachments over forests areas, rivers and nullahs banks in the urban
and semi-urban areas.
(iii) Unplanned construction of rural roads in particular, without strictly adhering to
the geomorphologic parameters i.e. wildly cutting of hills toes/slopes
(iv) Large scale deforestation and insufficient reforestation/Aforestation
(v) Use of vulnerable and marginal lands for inhabitation purposes
(vi) Absence of comprehensive planning and implementation of climate adaption
measures in order to avert unparallel and prevailing environmental degradation
phenomenon in AJ&K.
o Massive Environmental Degradation
Increased Deforestation Phenomena
Encroachments
Blockade of Natural Water Outlets
Illegal use of Vulnerable/Marginal Land for Habitation
Unplanned Construction of Roads/cutting of hill slopes
o Poor Watershed Management System
o Ineffective enforcement of Forest & Environmental Laws
o Inadequate Mitigation Plans
Reforestation & Aforestation Projects
-9-
Revamping of Forest Laws
Poor implementation of Land Use & Master Plans in Urban & Semi Urban
areas
o No Plan for Climate Change Adaptation Measures
Inadequate flood protection arrangements
The protection works arrangements to keep the human settlements, properties and
crops etc. Situating along the threatening Nallahs, river banks, landslide areas and areas
exposed to flash flood are quite inadequate in terms of extending safeguards to vulnerable
populations against the flood hazards.
Inadequate flood early warning arrangements
The scientific early warning system and alert warning issuance and communication
system remained weak. Community EW mechanisms has remained largely ineffective
during the 2010 floods, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 flash flood. However, this year some
arrangements have made by SDMA to forewarn vulnerable communities through SMS
alert system.
Floods in AJK
Encroachments
Most of the losses (life and property) occurred as a result of unchecked massive
encroachments and intrusion of population along river banks and different Nallahs, partly
along the flood prone hill blocked and heavily encroached drainage systems of settlements
also played a major role in inundation and consequent destruction. The district
administrations and other Authorities are obligated to initiate coercive measures for
clearing natural water flowing channels and outlets and to put a stop on illegal occupation
of land exposed to natural floods and hazards. Following pictures barefaced the prevalent
trend of encroachments over natural water flows.

Gojra Nullah in year 2005
Encroachment at Gojra Nullah, Muzaffarabad
Non-observation of Early Warnings
An important aspect witnessed was the lack of seriousness in observing the flood
early warnings by general public. The people having tendency to stay back to their areas
till flood waters completely bring down their properties and marooned them.
-11-
Methodology For Monsoon Plan Preparations
While preparation of monsoon plan SDMA adopts gross root level approach and
involved the district administration, Line departments and all other stack-holders by
figuring out their well defined roles and responsibilities through planning and response
phases. The DDMAs and concerned departments were provided the prescribed format and
advised to submit their monsoon contingency plan while identifying their strengths and
gaps in order to efficiently cop with any given situation.
The forthcoming Monsoon Contingency Planning of 2016 has been prepared in
consultation with all DDMAs and other relevant stakeholders at divisional level while
keeping the worst case scenario in mind , taking the resource mapping , strengths and
weaknesses at all tiers of State level into consideration. Also guidelines provided by
NDMA have been cautiously observed besides the lessons learnt during the past four
years.
Goals
To manage monsoon emergencies by putting in place requisite mitigation measures
and a well coordinated and integrated response.
Objectives:
While encouraging stake-holders participation, the following are the major objectives for
the Monsoon Contingency Plan:-
To enhance effectiveness and well-timed emergency response.
To ensure that emergency response is coordinated through clarification of goals,
strategies, roles and responsibilities.
To anticipate and overcome difficulties.
To strengthen response coordination between State Government Departments,
District Governments, humanitarian organizations (UN Agencies INGOs/NGOs).
Scope
Stakeholder’s participation, awareness and mobilization through Monsoon
Contingency Plan.
Determine disaster scenarios and corresponding caseloads.
Resource Mapping for response and identifying deficiencies.
Define sectoral response strategies, plans and coordination measures
Coordination and Operation
SDMA will play a lead role during monsoon emergency in AJK. Weather alerts
/outlook received by Pakistan Metrological Department (PMD) will instantly communicated
to the State level stakeholders and communities through SMS alert service, recently
established by SDMA. The emergency response service Rescue 1122 of AJK and Armed
Forces will coordinate response (search and rescue) related measures across the State.
-12-
SDMA- AJK constitutes a focal point for coordinating preparedness and response
to disasters besides post disaster recovery and rehabilitation functions. Its functions
include coordination, hazard risk reduction, preparedness and response related measures
related to planning for floods and flash floods, need assessments, resource mobilization
and generating required response. This entails horizontal coordination with host of
government line departments and autonomous bodies that furnish early warning, undertake
search and rescue, conduct relief operations and meet needs of vulnerable segments, while
vertical coordination occurs with districts administration and other relevant stakeholders.
SDMA-AJK shall coordinate execution of these functions with all State level entities and
federal agencies i.e. Pak Armed Forces, NDMA, Emergency Relief Cell, National Logistic
Cell and Pakistan Metrological Department etc.
The State level Emergency Operation Center (SEOC) shall remain open and active
during 24 hours for coordination among all the districts. SEOC shall keep close contact
and liaise with Pakistan MET department, NDMA, Pakistan Army, UN agencies, Pakistan
Red Crescent Society and all other concerned partner organizations and stakeholders. For
the smooth response and relief operation, district level control rooms will also remain
active and for which district and tehsils level committees have already been notified by the
Chairmen DDMAs. The composition of Districts and Tehsil level committees are listed
below;
