DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT

PLAN OF

JORHAT, 2011

DESIGNED & PREPARED BY D.M. BRANCH OF D.C.’s OFFICE, JORHAT

Preface

The District Disaster Management Plan (DDPM), Jorhat is a

comprehensive document of District profile and the battery of activities

and functions of the district administration along with other members

of District Disaster Management Teams(DDMT),to cope with any

disaster that may visit the district. The district Disaster management

Plan (DDMP) has highlighted a set of guidelines for some particular

government departments who are the first responders before, during

and after a disaster.

In addition to this, the other Govt. Departments /Local urban

bodies/Private agencies/NGO will be directed by the District Disaster

Management Authority (DDMA), Jorhat to perform functions as

situation demands. However, I believe, this DDMP will act as a handy

reference literature for the officers and members of the public.

I am thankful to all the line departments and other organizations

that extended help and assistance in preparation of this plan.

Deputy Commissioner Jorhat

CHAPTER–I

MULTI-HAZARD DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

1.1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT – WHY IS IT?

Natural Disaster is a part of our earth so we can neither avoid it nor it is

possible to prevent natural disaster all together.

But its effects can be reduced through systematic approach by Disaster

Management initiatives. It can be an effective tool for saving vulnerable

human lives and mitigation of human misery.

1.2 INTRODUCTION – CONCEPT OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT.

Disaster Management

The word disaster is coming from a French word Desastre meaning

bad or evil star. However, this is a very narrow concept of disaster and in our

context, any disaster means a situation in which there is a sudden disruption

of normalcy within a society causing wide spread damage to life and property.

Typology of Disaster

A disaster can either natural (Rain, Flood, Cyclone, Storm, Land slide,

Earthquake and Volcanoes) or man made [War, including biological, Arson,

Sabotage, Riots Accident (train, air, ship) industrial accidents, Fires (forest

fires), bomb explosions, nuclear explosion and ecological disasters].

Pre- independence, drought and famines were the biggest killer in

India. The situation change due to a combination of factors like irrigation

development, food security measures, floods, cyclones, droughts, landslides,

8

avalanches and earthquakes are some of the major natural disaster that

repeatedly and increasingly affect the country.

9

Vulnerability

Vulnerability is define as the extent to which a community, structure,

service or geographic area is likely to be damaged or disrupted by the impact

of particular hazard on account of their nature, construction and proximity to

hazardous terrain or a disaster prone area. In 1989, the General Assembly of

the United Nations proclaimed the decades 1999-2000 as the International

decade for natural disaster reduction (IDNDR). At the World Conformance on

Natural Disaster Reduction in the city of Yokohoma, Japan in 1994, deep

concern was expressed at the continuing human suffering and disruption of

development due to natural disaster and a Yokohama Strategy and plan of

action for a safe world was developed. It is not possible to go away from the

devastation due to natural hazards completely. However, destruction from

natural hazards can be minimized by the presence of well-functioning warning

system, combined with preparedness on the part of the vulnerable

communality. Disaster Management may be seen as a part of good

governance.

1.3 BASIC CONCEPTS OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT :

The basic concept suggests that the same management strategies can

be applied to all emergences. Emergences do not just appear one day, rather

they exist throughout times and have life cycle of occurrence, and hence the

management strategy should match the phases of an emergency in order to

mitigate, prepare, respond, and recovery from its effect. There are four

phases in emergency management: Mitigation, Preparedness, Responds, and

Recovery. The four phases are visualized as having a circular relationship to

each other (Fig.1 Emergency Management Circle). The activities in one phase

may overleap those in the previous one.

1.4 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CYCLE :

Mitigation refers to activities which actually eliminate or reduce the

vulnerability or chance of occurrence or the effects of a disaster. Mitigation

phase begins with conducting hazards identification and vulnerability analysis

which are essential to the planning of all other phases. Hazards identifications

10

and vulnerability analysis is two steps process. First the hazard is identified

which has the potential of affecting the population. Secondly, how people,

property and structure will be affected by the disastrous event.

Preparedness is a state of being ready to react promptly effectively in

the event of an emergency. Being prepared means that a plan of action exists

for an emergency so that it is clear as to what to do before the emergency

occurs. Preparedness measures to be undertaken depend upon the analysis

of hazard severity and vulnerability, which is also the basis for deciding

mitigation strategy. In some cases, such as flood, hurricane, an early warning

gives several hours to act. However, often no prior warning of an impending

emergency such as with earth quakes, tornados, explosion, major fires is

possible. Preparedness for any emergency, especially those, which strike

without notice, requires a plan. It is essential to identify the resources

available, and ways to utilized them. It must also be reasonably certain that

the plan will work in an emergency situation.

Response Phase : The basic five stages of response to any emergency or disaster are–

1. Warning

2. Immediate Public Safety

3. Property Security

4. Public Welfare and

5. Restoration

Recovery Phase : The final phase of disaster management is recovery, both short term

and long term efforts. Short term recovery is the restoration of vital services

and facilities to minimum standards of operation and safety. Long term

recovery efforts may continue many years as the society slowly return to the

pre-emergency for better conditions.

11

FIG.1 : PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT CIRCLE

1.5 DISASTER AND ITS CHALLENGES : Along with perennial floods, Earth quake pose a possible threat ,

particularly due to the fact that its time, location and magnitude can’t be

accurately predicted. Moreover, entire North East region of India is located in

a seismically active zone(zone-v). The region has been witness to several

violent earthquakes in the past.

Challenges created by disasters particularly by the natural disaster

such as flood, cyclones and high intensity earth quake are –

• To rescue and evacuate trapped people

• To provide first Aid to the injured people.

• To make care of children, woman and disable people.

• To transfer the seriously injured and people needing urgent medical

attention to hospitals.

• To restore communication network and essential services.

• To clear debris, blocking roads and communication network.

• To provide shelter and relief to homeless people.

• To arrange for food and drinking water to the affected people.

12

• To take immediate measures for disposal of death bodies and animals carcass to prevent the outbreak of epidemics.

• To take urgent measures for maintaining low and order.

• To take people to safer places in case of change of course of river due to flood.

It is a fact that natural disasters cannot be avoided and prevented, but only by our sincere efforts we can mitigate it through advance preparedness. Preparedness means development, rehabilitation, restoration on one side and mitigation, rescue and relief on other side.

1.6 NATURAL DISASTER IN ASSAM, A BRIEF RETROSPECTION AND CURRENT VULNERABILITY :

The North Eastern region of India comprising of eight states mainly Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Monipur, Nagaland, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim is bordered by the countries of Bhutan, China, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

The entire region is one of the most multi hazard prone region in the Asian Continent with different areas are being prone to different hazard like Earth quake, flood, Landslides and cyclonic storm etc. The rivers Brahmaputra and Barak drain the region. The Brahmaputra river has a catchments area of 5,80,000 sq KM in Tibet , Bhutan, India and Bangladesh and in terms of discharge it is the third largest river in the world , in terms of sediment load it is second after the yellow river of China .The river flows for length of 918 km in India of which 720 km flows through the plains of Assam . In this valley about 20 major tributaries on its North Bank and about 30 on its South bank join the river Brahmaputra. The precipitation here is mainly due to South West Monsoon. Heavy rainfall occurs from May to September. Average annual rainfall in the region is very high and ranges from 1750 mm in the plains to about 6400 mm in the hills.

These huge volume of water rushes through the narrow bowl shaped valley of Assam to the Bay of Bengal ravaging the area through flood and land erosion. The recurring floods on an average devastate about 20% of total area of the plain districts of the state of Assam and in the High floods years the devastation has been recorded to be as high as 67%.

13

The region lies at the junction of the Himalayans arc to North and Burmese arc to East and is one of the six most seismically active regions of the world. The entire region falls in zone V, the most vulnerable seismic zone. Twelve major earth quakes have occurred in the region in the last 100 years of which the devastating earth quake of 1897 in the Shillong plateau and in 1950 in upper Assam have been recorded as two of the Largest earth quakes in the country. Under the gap theory for prediction of earth quake it is forecasted that the region is likely to witness a major earth quake in the very near future.

The monsoon in the region normally commences around the month of April & May and is active till the end of October. The pre-monsoon period is often marked by severe cyclonic storms and hail storms .The annual cyclonic depression in the Bay of Bengal along the coast of Bangladesh cause severe storm to hit the bordering state of Meghalaya and Tripura .

Considerable variation in the precipitation during a particular month/period at a given place has also been observed and these variation result in drought like situation in many parts of the region .Continued deforestation and demand for more and more agricultural land has also lead to destabilization of hill slopes in many states, which during the monsoon come down as landslides .Unscientific mining in the states have also rendered many a hill side vulnerable to cave –ins and landslides.

Experiences of the earlier earth quakes in the region have led people here to construct flexible and sufficiently earth quake proof houses popularly known as “Assam Type” (Nandi 1999). The scenario has changed now and these houses have paved the way for multistory masonry buildings particularly in the capital towns of all the seven states of the region .If the present trend of construction and population growth continues , the earth quake of magnitude >7.5 will bring enormous damages to properties and great loss of lives .In this context, it is therefore important for the administrative agencies to reflect and plan for strict enforcement of proper building codes and appropriate land use policy in the region .The vulnerability to natural disasters combine with Socio Economic vulnerability of the people living in these states poses a great challenges for the govt. machineries and under scores the need for a comprehensive plan for disaster preparedness and mitigation .Training and capacity building of the officials dealing with emergency situations would be an important instrument of disaster reduction and recovery.

1.7 FORMULATION AND PREPARATION OF DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN: The district disaster management plan of Jorhat, hereafter referred as

the plan which is a multi hazard disaster management plan that assists and

equips the district administration to organize its emergency preparedness for

the pre, during and post disaster, so that response and mitigation functions

timely and in an efficient manner within the district and also to extend the

necessary support to the state and central government. The district disaster

management plan includes the facts and figures that have been collected

from various official and informal sources with a view to meeting the

challenges during any natural disaster.

Collection and classification of data are to be updated twice in May and

November every year. The plan has been prepared with the following

viewpoints.

1. Contingency plan is a continuous process.

2. All are not equal in a crisis situation, giving emphasis on special

vulnerable groups like economically weaker, sick and ailing, pregnant

and lactating mother, old aged etc.

3. During relief measures social auditing ensures transparency.

4. Involvement of women is a must in the entice process.

5. Mitigation plan reflecting need based approaches from the grassroots

level.

6. Well defined preparedness and response plan for the entire district.

1.8 OBJECTIVE: The objectives behind the preparation of the District Disaster

Management plan are:

1. To mitigate impact of natural and man-made disasters through

preparedness at district level, blocks, Gram Panchayat and Village

level.

2. To provide effective support and resources to all the concerned

individuals, groups and departments during disasters.

16

3. To assist the line department, block administration, communities in

developing compatible skills for disaster management.

4. To disseminate factual information in timely, accurate and tactful manner while maintaining necessary confidentiality.

5. To develop immediate and long term support plans for vulnerable people in/during disaster.

6. To create awareness among the people about hazard occurrences and increase their participation and preparedness, prevention, development, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction process.

7. To have response system in place, to face any eventuality.

1.9 NECESSITY OF THE PLAN: The plan establishes an administrative structure for a systematic, coordinated and effective response at the district level. The purpose of the plan is to –

Define a system of coordination at the district level.

Identify all the responder agencies at the district level, and assign functional responsibilities to each of them.

Establishment a central facility in the district, which enables all the responder’s agencies to interact and coordinate their efforts.

Suggest hazard specific preparedness, response and mitigation measures.

Plan resource requirements and coordinate with state government for requisitioning more resources.

Provide an inventory of resources, key facilities and addresses for deployment and assistance towards preparedness and mitigation.

Responding to an urgent call of society to change the parading from

the traditional practice of giving relief towards reducing the risk of disaster, the

govt. is emphasizing that at all level, administrations primary role should be

the preparedness, mitigation, reduction and response of a disaster based on

community participation.

1.10 OVERVIEW OF THE DISTRICT:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT : The name of Jorhat comes from ‘Jor’ which means pair and ‘HAT’

which means market which can be traced back to the fact that during Ahom

Role there existed two market namely CHOWKIHAT and MACHARHAR

towards the northern side of present day Jorhat.

During 18th Century, Jorhat was the last capital of the Ahom Kingdom.

In the 1794 the Ahom King Gourinath Singha shifted the capital from

Sivasagar (erstwhile Rongpur) to Jorhat. This town was a flourishing

commercial metropolis but was completely destroyed after a series of the

Burmese invation since 1817 till the arrival of the British in the year 1824

under the Stewardship of David Scot and Captain Richard.

The freedom movement of India in Assam was spearheaded by two of

its illustrious sons namely Moniram Dewan and Piyali Phukan who were from

Jorhat and had may their supreme sacrifice for the noble cause.

The old Sivasagar with administrative headquarter at Jorhat was

balkanized into Golaghat, and Sivasagar district subsequently in 1983.The

river Bhogdoi passes through the Jorhat while the river Jhanji and Kakodonga

flows on its eastern and western boundary respectively.

Today the city of Jorhat is the second most important city of Assam

hence occupy an important place in the field of education, culture, etc. It can

boast of one Agricultural University, an Engineering College, a Medical

College, North East Institute of Science & Technology, Jorhat Institute of

Technology, Tea Research Centre, Muga Research Centre and of the world

famous Majuli, which has been declared as the largest river iland. The Majuli

is doted with many Satras like Auniati Satra, Dakhinpat Satra, Kamalabari

Satra and has been the principle place of pilgrimage of Vaishnavisties since

the ages of Ahom rules.

National Highway 37 connected Jorhat with the rest of the country and

N.F. Railway connected via Mariani Junction and Jorhat Town.

4.4 FLOOD HAZARD ASSESSMENT :

4.4.1 CAUSES OF FLOODS IN JORHAT DISTRICT : The causes of flood in Jorhat District are due to excessive rainfall in

Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, melting of snow at Tibet etc.

During flood the rivers get charged with enormous quantity of silt and in their

movement the rivers alter the condition of flow and sometime changes the

river courses causing untold miseries to the people living in its low line basin,

making the district vulnerable to annual flooding.

After the great earthquake 1950 the river bed of Brahmaputra is rising

continuously due to disposition of sand carried down from the up stream. This

has also lead to the formation of saucer shaped low lying zone in the plain of

the district.

Unscientific human encroachment and settlement in different flood

plain areas is a another cause of flooding in Jorhat district.

Destruction of forest cover in upper catchment areas of all rivers mainly

in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland is also a leading cause of flooding in

Jorhat district.

4.4.2 FLOOD PRONE AREAS : A) JORHAT AND TITABOR SUB-DIVISION :-

A large number of tributaries of the river Brahmaputra such as Jhanji, Teok, Mudaijan, Tepaijan kokila, Bhogdoi, Bekajan, Toklai, Tarajan, Kakodonga, etc. forms a network of waterways in this sub-division. During flood season those tributaries/rivulets which are flowing from Nagaland to Brahmaputra are inflated with rain water every year. Most of these rivers /rivulets don’t have dykes and those such as Jhanji and Bhogdoi which have embankments has opening at the mouth. Hence during floods the water level of Brahmaputra flows back through these rivers inundating most of the areas of the district on the Northern side of NH 37. In Southern side of the NH flood normally occurs at the adjacent areas of river Kakodunga in both Jorhat and Titabar Sub-division. Many areas are also affected by swelling waters of rivulets like Teremerijan , Bekajan, Kachajan,etc during the flood season.

B) MAJULI SUB-DIVISION

Acknowledge as one of the largest river island of the world, Majuli earlier known as “Majali” is situated between 26045/ North to 27012/ North Latitude and 93039/ East to 94035/ East Longitute. Towards its North lie the North Lakhimpur and Dhemaji District, Sivasagar and Jorhat District lie towards its East, Golaghat is to the South of Majuli and Nagaon and Sonitpur District lie towards its West. Majuli is situated in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra. Before 1950 the total area of Majuli was 1256 Sq.KM. Continuous erosion since has resulted in depletion of its size to 552.65 Sq.KM in 1998, according to the National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA). Inland Water Transport is the main form of communication with the other parts of the state. Road communication to Dhokuwakhana of Lakhimpur District is restored only in the winter season, and that to via the embankment through the North-East corner of Majuli.

Every year whether there in flood in Assam or not, the Majuli Sub-Division is always affected by floods, forcing people to take shelter in roads and higher land.

The Cultural and National uniqueness of Majuli’s heritage is presently undergoing scrutiny and consideration for declaring it as World Heritage site as cultural landscape by UNESCO.

CHAPTER–V

MITIGATION PLAN

Pre-disaster planning consists of activities such as disaster mitigation

and disaster preparedness. Disaster mitigation focuses on the hazard that

causes the disaster and tries to eliminate or drastically reduce its effects. The

best example of mitigation is the construction of embankments and

construction of proper drainage system in flood prone areas to avoid floods.

The other example includes retrofitting of weak buildings to make them

earthquake resistant.

Preparedness 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 the needs. The first objective of the

preparedness is to reduce the disaster impact through appropriate actions

and improve the capacity of those who are likely to be affected most. The

second is to ensure that ongoing development continues to improve the

capacities and capabilities of the system to strengthen preparedness efforts at

community level. Finally it guides reconstruction so as to ensure reduction in

vulnerability. The best example of preparedness activities are the

development of community awareness and sensitization system through

community education and administrative preparedness by way of stockpiling

of supplies, developing emergency plans for rescue and relief.

5.1 SPECIFIC DISASTER MITIGATION MEASURES : 5.1.1 EARTHQUAKES MITIGATION :

Jorhat district falls under earthquake zone-V so following mitigation

measures should be taken to reduced the impact of earthquake :

• Adoption of building codes for new construction in various areas.

• Public utility buildings must be located in stable areas or stiff soil.

• Retrofitting of weak structures.

• Relocation of people settling in the steep slope areas and near the

river bank.

44

5.1.2 FLOOD MITIGATION:

Flood mitigation refers to the measures aimed at prevention and

preparedness. It reduces the actual or probable impact of floods on the

people and their environment.

The objective of flood mitigation is to control changes in the volume of

run-off, peak stage of the flood, time of rise and duration of floodwaters, and

location of flooding.

The mitigation measures should be oriented to take proper care of

these problems and thus will automatically reduce the impact of flood in the

district. The various measures adopted for flood mitigation may be

categorized in two groups structural and non-structural.

Structural

• Construction of embankments/floodwalls along the river bank and

improvement of the channel (by WRD).

• Construction of drainage system in the Jorhat town and other parts

of the district (by PWD/UD).

• Diversion of flood water (by WRD).

• Careful location of new facilities, particularly community facilities

such as schools, hospitals and other important infrastructure away

from flood prone areas.

Non-structural

• Collection of daily rainfall data (by WRD).

• Flood forecasting and warning (by WRD & General Administration).

• Prepare detailed floodplain map of the district, based on extent of

land submerged, and assessment of damages. Analyze how the

pattern of flooding has changed over a period of time (by WRD &

GA).

• Plantation in the catchment areas to check soil erosion (by forest

dept),

• Preparation of DDMP and awareness programme.

45

5.1.3 CYCLONIC STORM:

Jorhat district is frequently strike by cyclonic storm during pre-monsoon

season causing widespread damage to the crop and other properties. The

main mitigation strategies for storm hazards are a well informed public and an

effective warning system. The following mitigation measures can be adopted

to reduce the impact of cyclonic storm.

• Location of key facilities in leeward sides of hill/less vulnerable

areas (by District Administration and Land Management).

• Planting wind breaks in the most vulnerable locations (by DFO).

• Construction of strong wind safe public buildings which can be

used for community shelter in settlements (by UD & PWD).

• Crops can be protected by introducing agricultural practices and

cultivation of those crops which are more resistant to high winds.

• Compilation of meteorological data for forecasting of storm (by

Deptt. concerned).

• Public dissemination of information through mass media, poster

campaigns and village meetings (by Dist. Administration).

5.1.4 FIRE ACCIDENT MITIGATION :

The following mitigation measures may be taken up to contain fire

accident:

• Installation of fire extinguisher cylinders in all institutions (by

concerned institute).

• Construction of fire hydrant in fire prone areas (by

PHED/Police/DA).

• Installation of fire warning systems in community facilities such as

in school and hospitals (by concerned institute).

• No attachment of thatch houses in govt. buildings (by DA).

• Awareness about the causes of fire accident in rural areas and

motivate the villagers to construct their houses at sufficient

distance from one another (by DA).

46

5.1.5 EPIDEMICS :

The Health Department and veterinary Department are the nodal

agency responsible for monitoring and control of epidemics. Mitigation

measures for control of epidemics would include:–

Identification of areas prone to certain epidemics must be updated

to access field requirements (by DMO & DVO).

Testing laboratories in district hospital must be well equipped and

updated (by DMO).

Regular flow of data from both govt. establishment and NGOs run

hospitals (by DA).

Analyzing and collating the data at regular intervals to access

epidemiological monitoring requirements (by DMO/DVO).

Awareness campaign to the PRI members and the villagers about

various kinds of disease and their causes that are prevalent in the

area (by DMO/DVO/DA).

5.1.6 ROAD ACCIDENTS :

Many lives were lost and causalities are reported annually due to road

accident, which is cause due to reckless driving and poor road

conditions. The following measures may be adopted to mitigate road

accidents: -

Opening of traffic model school in every district.

Installation of speed monitoring machine in busy areas (by police).

Strict implementation of motor vehicle Act (by Police).

Installation of traffic sign boards (by Police).

Carry of First Aid Box in every vehicle must be made mandatory (by

Police/DTO (transport).

Insurance of all vehicles must be updated (by Police).

Awareness about traffic rules should be imparted to all drivers and

commuters through IEC (by police).
