INTRODUCTION The VVDMP includes the facts and figures collected from Purba Dobandi (Middle) village and from various formal as well as informal sources with a view to meet the needs of animals during any Natural Disaster. This plan has to be periodically reviewed and updated by the VVDMC in coordination with the Gram Panchayat. The plan has been prepared with the following viewpoints.

VVDMP is not a stable document; it is a continuous planning process to address the needs of animals in disaster.

Needs of all animals and people are not equal in a disaster situation, it depends on the intensity, impact of the disaster and the socio economic conditions of the local community.

Social auditing ensures effective management of animals in disaster and ensures transparency during relief distribution measures.

This document is designed in a manner for use of any lay man at the village level. The purpose of this document is to,

Build resilience of the community in managing and addressing the needs of their animals before, during and after disaster.

Provide village information related to socio economic conditions with statistical facts for conducting rapid and realistic disaster assessments.

Act as a telephone directory for the local community to contact and mobilize emergency resources during disaster.

Guide the community in evacuating their animals to safer areas within or outside the village through illustrations.

Help the VVDMC in deliberating tasks to different VVDMTs before, during and after disaster to locally manage the situation.

Guide the animal owners on the process followed to avail government benefits and services during disaster.

This plan has been prepared with the consensus and participation of the local community, Gram Panchayat, Department of ARD, Parmanandapur Vivekananda Club supported by WSPA.

II - CONCEPTS OF VETERINARY DISASTER MANAGEMENT 1. Definitions of Terminologies Disaster: Occurrence of a sudden misfortune which disrupts the normal functioning beyond the capacity to cope. Disaster Management: The operational activities required to prepare, mitigate and respond to disasters. Vulnerability: The susceptibility to physical or emotional injury or attack. Hazard: A situation which poses a level of threat to life, health, property and environment. Capacity: The ability to hold, receive or absorb. Risk: A potential negative impact that may arise from some present process or future event. Preparedness: The state of being ready with adequate knowledge, skill and material resources to cope with disaster. Mitigation: The process of reducing of the severity to risks. 2. Disaster Cycle 3. Animal Welfare The animal is in a complete state of physical, mental and social well being by ensuring the following five freedoms are met; 1-Freedom from hungar & thirst, 2-Freedom from discomfort, 3-Freedom from pain, injury and disease, 4-Freedom to express normal behaviour, 5-Freedom from fear and distress.

Risk = Hazard X Vulnerability – Capacity

III - WEST BENGAL: VULNERABILITY TO DISASTERS West Bengal, renamed Poschim Bongo is a state in the eastern region of India and is the nations fourth most populous. It is the sixth-largest contributor to India's GDP and has an area of 34,267 sq mi (88,752 km2); the capital is Kolkata. West Bengal, a part of Bengal Delta, has a long recorded history of flood. It is because the landmass of the State was formed by the Ganga-Padma system of rivers through the delta building process of which flood is an adjunct being the main carrier of sediments in huge volumes. The landscape differs from the vast Bay of Bengal to the snow-capped Himalayan Mountains. Soil characteristics, temperature and rainfall also vary widely from one region to another. The physiography & geomorphology of the state has been varied and hence influence occurrence and impact of various disasters. At present 42.3% of total area of the State is susceptible to flood spread over 110 blocks in 18 districts. The highest affected area of flood as recorded in 1978 is about 30,607sq.km. In the State, only five years (1960-2000) could be identified as

flood free years, where only less than 500 sq.kms of area were inundated. Animals are the most vulnerable during disasters and West Bengal has a population of 1031.43 Lakhs (Cattle-191.88, Buffaloes-7.64, Sheep-15.77, Goats-150.69, Swine-8.15, Poultry-519.43, Ducks-120.47 & Dogs-17.4) of animals according to 2007 Dept of ARD’s livestock census.

VI - PURBA DOBANDI (MIDDLE) According to the community, the village Purba Dobandi Middle village came into existence in the year 1850 when river Kangasavati divided the island into two parts caused due to a heavy rain and as a result, the eastern part of the island became Purba Dobandi. In Bengali, the word “Purba” means “East” and thus it was coined so. The entire region was ruled by a King named Lysung and the village was under his territory. The people from Tamluk (District capital) and the western part of the river migrated and settled to be the first inhabitants of the village. Initially, there were very few families who owned cattle and traditionally practiced agricultural activities. The entire production was harvested by the farmers and submitted to the King who would keep a stock required for the territory and give a share to each family. Later in 1960, after the government system was enacted the land became the property of the village. This village comes under Tilkhoja Gram Pachayat of Moyna Block in Purba Medinipur District. 1.

2.5. Dos and don’ts in disaster

2.5.1. Flood I - Before a Flood To prepare for a flood, you should:

Avoid building in a floodprone area unless you elevate and reinforce your home.

Elevate the furnace, water heater, and electric panel if susceptible to flooding.

Install "check valves" in sewer traps to prevent floodwater from backing up into the drains of your home.

Contact community officials to find out if they are planning to construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering the homes in your area.

Seal the walls in your basement with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage. II - During a Flood If a flood is likely in your area, you should:

Listen to the radio or television for information.



33

Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move.

Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons, and other areas known to flood suddenly. Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain.

If you must prepare to evacuate, you should do the following:

Secure your home. If you have time, bring in outdoor furniture. Move essential items to an upper floor.

Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.

If you have to leave your home, remember these evacuation tips:

Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.

Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be quickly swept away.

Driving Flood Facts The following are important points to remember when driving in flood conditions:

Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling.

A foot of water will float many vehicles.

Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUV’s) and pick-ups.

III - After a Flood The following are guidelines for the period following a flood:

Listen for news reports to learn whether the community’s water supply is safe to drink.

Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.

Avoid moving water.

Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.

Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company.

Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.

Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.

Use extreme caution when entering buildings; there may be hidden damage, particularly in foundations.

Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.

Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals.

Flood: Know Your Terms Familiarize yourself with these terms to help identify a flood hazard: Flood Watch: Flooding is possible. Tune in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information. Flash Flood Watch: Flash flooding is possible. Be prepared to move to higher ground; listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information. Flood Warning: Flooding is occurring or will occur soon; if advised to evacuate, do so immediately. Flash Flood Warning: A flash flood is occurring; seek higher ground on foot immediately.
