Preface

The District Disaster Management Plan is a key part of an emergency management. It will play a
significant role to address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district effectively. The information
during disaster. Based on the history of various disasters
available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use during
that occur in the district, the plan has been so designed. This plan has been prepared based on the
guidelines provided by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
The District Disaster Management Plan developed involves some signi ficant issues like Hazard,
significant
Risk and Vulnerability, Incident Response System (IRS) and the response mechanism in disaster
management. The plan is mainly focused on drought mitigation and ground water conservation measures.
We have started rejuvenation of Rivers, Kalyanis, Kere Kunte, open wells (Bavi) and also have
Arc Check Dams to improve Surface/Ground water. There are many projects in the
constructed Multi-Arc
pipeline project for Water Supply such as Yethinahole drinking water project, KC & HN Valley pipeline
project to fill tanks and recharge ground water. Reserving the land for Hasiru Karnatak

purpose, Rain water harvesting for Public/Private building are made
Green Fund for the plantation purpose,
compulsory
ory to address drinking water crisis.
It outlines the action that needs to be taken in the unfortunate event of disaster, along with the set
of procedures to be followed based on norms and guidelines issued both from Government of India &
Government of Karnataka,
rnataka, NDMA and SDMA from time to time. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
under the guidance of SDMA is incorporated within this Plan. Further, specific issues related with
Disaster Management information along with mock drill guidelines are also includ
included in this Plan.
Details of inventory of resources available in district can be used in disaster management are
nation wide electronic inventory
being updated in IDRN. IDRN (Indian Disaster Resource Network) is a nation-wide
of resources that enlists equipment and human resources.
I would like to appreciate the effort put in by the officers from different departments in the
district for their dedication in bringing out this manual within a short period and if you have any
suggestions and comments, be free to convey the same so that we can in clude them in the next edition.

 TERMINOLOGY
Disaster
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society causing widespread
human, material, economic or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected
community or society to cope using its own resources.
A disaster is a function of the risk process. It results from the combination of hazards, conditions
of vulnerability and insufficient capacity or measures to reduce the potential negative
consequences of risk.
Disaster Management
Disaster management means a continuous and integrated process of planning organizing,
coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or expedient for
 Prevention of danger or threat of any disaster;
 Mitigation or reduction of risk of any disaster or its severity or consequences;
 Capacity-building;
 Preparedness to deal with any disaster;
 Prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster;
 Assessing the severity or magnitude of effects of any disaster;
 Evacuation, rescue and relief;
 Rehabilitation and reconstruction;

Hazard
Hazard is an event or occurrence that has the potential for causing injury to life or
damage to property or the environment.
Natural Hazards: Natural processes or phenomena occurring in the biosphere that may cause a
damaging event.
Geological Hazards: Natural earth processes or phenomena that may cause the loss of life or
injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.

Risk
Risk is defined as 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.
Conventionally risk is expressed by the notation
Risk = Hazards x Vulnerability
As a result of disaster, society incurs both loss and damage. The extent of damage and
loss together provides an indicator of the likely risk.
Vulnerability is defined as the conditions determined by physical, social, economic, and
environmental factors or processes, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the
impact of hazards. Based on the factors and processes the vulnerability may be classified as
Physical Vulnerability, Social Vulnerability, Economic Vulnerability, and Environmental
Vulnerability etc.
Capacity
A combination of all the strengths and resources available within a community, society or
organization that can reduce the level of risk, or the effects of a disaster

Mitigation
The lessening of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters, It is describes the
activities undertaken to reduce the risks or impact of any disaster. This efforts of mitigation can
be further classified into Structural and non-structural and short-term and long-term mitigation
strategies.

Preparedness
The knowledge and capacities developed by governments, professional response and
recovery, organizations, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to, and
recover from, the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events or conditions. It is
therefore evident that the capacity of the community and the administration shall be in
consonance with the disaster vulnerability.

Response
The provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a
disaster in order to save lives reduces health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic
subsistence needs of the people affected. The response mechanism includes the stages of Search
and Rescue, Relief, Reconstruction, Recovery and Rehabilitation.

Cyclone
Cyclone is defined as drastic atmospheric variation in the Earth System Science
depending upon the amount of pressure variation & mode of propagation & circulation.

Drought
Any lack of water to satisfy the normal needs of agriculture, livestock, industry or human
population may be termed as a drought. While generally associated with semi-arid or desert
climates, droughts can also occur in areas that normally enjoy adequate rainfall and moisture
levels. Scientifically speaking, there is no unique definition of drought. Drought came’s a
different meaning in keeping with the perspectives of a scientific discipline. Accordingly, three
types of drought are usually defined.

Earthquake
An earthquake occurs when rocks break and slip along a fault in the earth. Energy is
released during an earthquake in several forms, including as movement along the fault, as heat.
And as seismic waves that radiate out from the "source" in all directions and cause the ground to
shake, sometimes hundreds of kilometers away.
Flood
Flooding is an overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry. It can happen during
heavy rains, when ocean waves come onshore, when snow melts too fast, or when dams or
levees break. Flooding may happen with only a few inches of water, or it may cover a house to
the rooftop. The most dangerous flood event, the flash flood, happens quickly with little or no
warning; other flooding events occur over a long period and may last days, weeks, or longer.

Landslide
A landslide is defined as "the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down slope".
Landslides are a type of "mass wasting" which denotes any down slope movement of soil and
rock under the direct influence of gravity.

Tsunamis
"Tsunami" comes from the Japanese words for harbor ("tsu") and wave ("nami").
Anything that rapidly displaces a large volume of water can cause a tsunami. Typically, tsunamis
are caused by underwater earthquakes, but landslides, volcanic eruptions, calving icebergs, and
(very rarely) meteorite impacts can also generate tsunamis. These types of events can cause large
disturbances in the surface of the ocean, and when gravity pulls the water back down, the
tsunami is born.

Chapter 1
Introduction

Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

1.1 Rationale:
The revised UNDRR terminology, defines ‘disaster’ as:

“A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due

to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and
capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and
environmental losses and impacts.” (UNISDR 2016)

The effect of the disaster can be immediate and localized but is often widespread, often
persisting for long after the event. The effect may challenge or overwhelm the capacity of a
community or society to cope using the resources immediately and therefore may require
assistance from external sources, which could include neighbouring jurisdictions, or those at the
national or international levels. UNISDR considers disaster to be a result of the combination of
many factors such as the exposure to hazards, the conditions of vulnerability that are present, and
insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences.
Disaster impacts may include loss of life, injuries, disease and other negative effects on human
physical, mental and social well-being, together with damage to property, destruction of assets,
loss of services, social and economic disruption and environmental degradation.

Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

1.2 Legal Mandate:

Section 31 of the Disaster management (DM) Act 2005 mandates that there shall be a
District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) for the each District; The proposed DDMP
complies with the National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM) of 2009 and conforms to
the provisions of the DM Act making it mandatory for the Government of India and various
central ministries to have adequate DM plans. While the district plan will pertain to the disaster
management for the whole of the district, the hazard specific nodal ministries and departments
notified by the Government of India and State Government will prepare detailed DM plans
specific to the disaster assigned. As per Section 32 of the DM Act, every office of the
Government of India and of the State Government at the district level and the local authorities
shall prepare comprehensive DM plans detailing how each of them will contribute to the national
efforts in the domains of disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

1.3 Aims:
“The basic aim for formulating a DDMP Plan is to ensure that the District
Administration is prepared to handle any unprecedented situation that may arise in
the District Chikkaballapur. The plan is essential to institutionalize Disaster
Management in the District and to deal with future disasters in an efficient and
effective manner.”

The district Disaster management plan is the key part of an emergency management. It
will play significant role to address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district effectively.
The information available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use during disaster, Based on the
history of various disasters that occur in the district, the plan has been so designed as an action
plan rather than a resource book. Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather
than bulky one.

1.4 Objectives of DDMP:

The basic objective of the District Disaster Management Plan is to protect the residents of
the district and their property from all sorts of untoward incidents through the following
objectives:
 To prevent loss of human life and property damage
 To study analyze and evaluate the disasters.
 To Encouraging a culture of Disaster Preparedness in the District
 To identify the vulnerable locations and do the vulnerability and risk analysis
 To improve preparedness, prevention and mitigation at district level
 To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available
 To recommend appropriate strategies and responses to deal with future disasters
 To prevent and minimize loss of human lives and property by gearing up preparedness,
prevention& mitigation at district level
 To develop convergence of action in addressing, preventing and mitigating disasters and
to equip with maximum possible relief measures and to resort to pre-disaster during and
post disaster steps.

3
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

 To assists line depts., Block administration community in developing coping skills for
disaster management
 To impart training to create awareness, rehearsals, dissemination of knowledge
information’s rescue measures etc among the all the citizens living in the district.
 To identify the occurrence and nature of disasters by analyzing the periodicity, intensity
and extent of damages.
 To ensure fail proof communication and supply of manpower ,material, machinery and
goods and other inputs and activate the same within the shortest possible time backed by
minimum simple procedures, orders etc at different levels by making optimal utilization
of available resources without any gaps, duplication or overlapping.
 To ensure fastest approach for rescue &evacuation, rehabilitation and recovery.
 To avert further miseries of the calamity-stricken people.
 To facilitate the mitigation process.
 To facilitate convergence.
 Regular updation of resources available in and around the district.

Essentially, communities draw their support from the existing social institutions, the
administrative structures, and their values and aspirations they cherish. Disasters may
temporarily disorganize these institutions and the administrative system and disrupt their lives
built around these values and aspirations. A systematic effort to put back the social life on its
normal footing, with necessary technology support and resources, will contribute significantly to
the resilience of the community and nation. In pursuance of this policy, the District Disaster
Management Plan addresses itself to strengthening the pre-disaster and post-disaster responses of
Emergency Support functionaries and stakeholders including the “victims” of the disaster.

1.8 Approval Mechanism of DDMP: Authority for implementation (State

Level / District level orders)
The DM Act 2005 enjoins central and state governments to make provisions for the
implementation of the disaster management plans. In this respect, the sections of the DM Act
2005 applicable for national, state, and district DM plans are 11, 23, and 31. The Chapters V and
VI of the DM Act spell out the responsibilities of the central, state, and local governments with
respect to disaster management. The DM Act states that every Ministry or Department of the

9
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

Government of India shall make provisions, in its annual budget, for funds for the purposes of
carrying out the activities and programmes set out in its disaster management plan. The Act
mandates that every Ministry and Department of the Government of India and every state must
prepare a DDMP in accordance with the SDMP/NDMP. Annually, respective DM authorities
must review and update their DM plans. Central ministries and state governments will integrate
DRR into their development policy, planning and programming at all levels. They must adopt a
holistic approach and build multi-stakeholder partnerships at all levels, as appropriate, for the
implementation of the DM plans.

1.9 DDMP review and updation:

As per Section 31, sub section (4) of the DM Act 2005 states that the District Plan shall
be reviewed and updated annually and sub section (7) states that District Authority shall review

responsibilities of primary members of the task forces defined in the plan. The implementation of
the plan and issue such instructions to different departments of the Government in the districts as
it may deem necessary for the implementation thereof.

1.10 Training and Rehearsals:

For effective implementation of Disaster Management Plan and to achieve above stated
objectives, different Kind of training programmes has been conducted. Disaster Management
Programme has Community based disaster Preparedness approach is being adopted for
community level Awareness about Hazards and to create Disaster management Teams at village
level. All formed teams were imparted subject related trainings. This will further enhance better
understanding of individual’s role and responsibilities in emergency response besides improving
the overall coordinated efforts.
The main objectives of training plan are:

 Familiarizing key personnel involved in the plan with their equipment, the overall plans
and their roles.
 Ensuring efficacy of emergency response mechanisms / resources.
 Reviewing the total plan, including communications and logistics, so that updating,
modifying and training activities can be improved.

Team Drills:
These rehearsals are conducted at regular intervals at least once in a year by individual
task force team in order to improve the resource planning, coordination and application of
resources. The responsibility of conducting such drills at specified frequency lies with the
respective Task Force Leader.

10
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

Full-Scale Mock Drills:

The ability of the emergency management team is to perform a set of critical tasks under
simulated conditions for different hazards are validated by conducting a full scale mock drill
once in a year. This includes but not limited to management initiatives, response activities,
direction, and control, mobilization of resources, communications, mitigation and post incident
activities of all concerned. This is a field mock drill on a large scale involving all the task forces.
After completion of every team drills and/or Full Scale mock drills, a debriefing meeting shall be
arranged in which proceedings of the mock drills are discussed highlighting weak areas-
shortfalls for effecting improvement in the plan.

How can disaster management be done?

Disaster Management
Effective disaster management or disaster response can be defined as providing the
technology, tools and practices that enable disaster response organizations to systematically
manage information from multiple sources and collaborate effectively to assist survivors,
mitigate damage and help communities rebuild.
Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, growing more severe and affecting more people
than ever before.
The four elements of disaster management:
1. Preparedness
2. Response
3. Recovery
4. Prevention

1. PREPAREDNESS includes a set of activities that a community collectively takes before a

disaster occurs to reduce the impact of a disaster. It includes:

 Community awareness
 Preparation of a disaster management
 Mock drill, training and practice
 Inventory of resources
 Proper warning system

2. RESPONSE includes a set of activities that a community collectively performs in

anticipation of, during and immediately after a disaster to minimise the effects of disaster. It
includes:

 Activate emergency operation centers

 Setting a community kitchen
 Setting up medical camps
 Mobilizing resources
 Settling up temporary living arrangement
 Deploy search and rescue teams

11
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

3. RECOVERY includes measures which support disaster affected communities in the

reconstruction of the physical infrastructure and restoration of the emotional well being of the
people. It includes:

 Developing awareness on health and safety measures

 Counselling for survivors of the disaster
 Restoring essential service
 Providing financial support
 Arranging for jobs
 Reconstruction of buildings

4. PREVENTION includes measures to eliminate the incidence of severity of disaster. It

includes:

 Planning land use

 Construction of disaster resistant buildings
 Finding ways to reduce risks
 Preventing habitation in risk zones

There are more ways of managing a disaster but it depends upon the disaster and the situation.

Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

2.1 Overview of the District:

Chikkaballapur district is in the state of Karnataka, India. On 23 August 2007, it was

Historical Background

The Marigowda, the son of the chief Avathimalla Biregowda, was hunting one day in the
Kodimanchanahalli forest. He found a rabbit standing fearlessly in front of hunting dogs. Excited
by this, the chief told his son that it was a sign of the boldness of the local people. So, he
obtained permission from the king of Vijayanagara and built a fort and a town. This in course of
time developed into the town of Chickballapur. During the rule of Baichegowda, the king
of Mysore attacked the fort but had to withdraw due to the interference of Marathas.
DoddaByregowda, who came to power after Baichegowda, resumed control of the territories
seized earlier by Mysore. In 1762, during the rule of Chikkappanayaka, Hyder Ali laid siege the
town for a period of three months. Then Chikkappanayaka agreed to pay 5-lakhs pagodas, and
the army was withdrawn.
After this, Chikkappa Nayaka with the help of Murariraya of Gooty tried to get back his
powers. He was hiding at Nandi hills along with Chikkappa Nayaka. Immediately Hyder
Ali took Control over Chikkballapur and other places and arrested Chikkappa Nayaka. Then with
interfere of Lord Cornwallis, Chickballapur was handed over to Narayanagowda.some sources
suggest that Lord Cornvallis visited the temple of Lord Shiva in Peresandra which is 18 km off
Chikkaballapur. In few references British text suggest that Peresandra has a tremendous history;
upon knowing this, Tipu Sultan again acquired Chikballapur. In 1791 British occupied Nandi &
left Narayanagowda to rule the town; due to this fight between Britishers and Tipu Sultan again
started. Narayanagowda lost his administration. Later on the British defeated Tipu Sultan.
Chickballapur also came under the administration of Wodeyars of Mysore, which is now a part
of Karnataka.
Bharatharathna Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya who was born at Muddenahalli near
Chikkaballapur was a visionary engineer and versatile genius who laid the foundation stone for
progress in the fields of Education, Science & Technology, Agriculture, Industry & Politics.
Dr.H.Narsimhaiah, popularly known as the ‘Gandhi Of Chikkaballapur District’ was a famous
educationist born in Hossur village, Gowribidnur taluk, worked as the Vice –Chancellor of
Bangalore University and a Member of Karnataka Legislative Council and struggled hard to
develop scientific attitude among the people.
The Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhiji visited Chikkaballapur in 1936. He rested a
few days in Nandhi Hills. The first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru inaugurated the
Chikkaballapur Town Library in 1962 as a mark of respect to Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya.
Nandhi Hills, which is 4850ft. above the sea level, is considered as ‘The Oooty of the
Poor’. It is the birthplace of the rivers like North Pennar, Chitravathi, Arkavathi and Papagni.
The SAARC Summit of 1986 was held at Nandhi Hills and Rajiv Gandhi was the former Prime

2.9 Ground Water

The Chikkaballapur district has no perennial water sources for both agriculture and
drinking water purposes and is only source of water is ground water. Ground water plays an
important role in the economy of the farmers of the Chikkaballapur district. Agriculture was
mainly dependent on irrigation facility by numerable widely distributed tanks during earlier
days. Due to drought situations farmers are now mainly depending upon borewells for their
agriculture needs. As per CGWB report, there is no scope for further ground water
development. All the taluks are over exploited.
Fluoride concentration of more than 1.5 mg/l is reported from many parts in the district
especially in Bagepalli district. However, some of the exploratory borewells also have recorded
fluoride concentration of 2mg/l and above especially in Bagepalli Taluk.

Implication of high fluoride Content: Natural contamination of groundwater by fluoride causes

irrepairable damage to plant and human health. High oral intake of fluoride results in
physiological disorders, skeletal and dental fluorosis, thyroxin changes and kidney damage
in humans. High fluoride levels inhibit germination, causes ultrastructrual malformations,
reduce photosynthetic capacities, alter membrane permeability, reduce productivity and biomass
and inflict other physiological and biochemical disorders in plants.

High fluoride and Nitrate Content in water:

The uncontrolled exploitation of ground water has led to high fluoride and nitrate in
water. Consumption of this water has had negative impact on the health of people. Dental
fluorosis is prevalent among children’s and skeletal fluorosis has set-in few villages.
Harmful effects of different levels of Fluoride in Drinking Water

2.10: Forest
The Chikkaballapur forest division was established in August 2007. The division consists
of six territorial forest ranges, viz., Chikkaballapur, Bagepalli, Chintamani, Gauribidanur,
Gudibande and Sidlaghatta which are more or less co-terminus with the respective taluks.
Chikkaballapur forest division has two forest sub-divisions, i.e., Chikkaballapur Sub-division
with headquarters at Chikkaballapur and Chintamani sub-division with headquarters at
Chintamani. The district has a geographical area of 404501 ha, in which Forest area 48926.1 ha.
Working plan area consist of dry deciduous and Scrub types of forest which are poorly
stocked, Trees are stunted and branchy. The soil is poor and sallow and rains scanty. There are
large extents of torn forest also. With a number of rivers and streams flowing in several
directions and a large number of tanks and wells situated amidst hilly surroundings, one would
expect to find the district full of green vegetation. However the rainfall being scanty and rivers
and streams remaining dry for a large part of the year, the area is for most part devoid of
vegetation.

2.12: Animal Husbandry & Veterinary

Livestock Farming is an important source of income & employment in rural sector. It
helps in to bring equality in income level in rural areas by encouragement of economical status
of small & Marginal farmers as also landless laborers. Control of major Livestock dieses would
greatly contribute to the growth of Livestock Sector.

In Karnataka, Animal Husbandry sector has made a tremendous progress in the past two decades
and it could perform even better if the large number of endemic livestock diseases are controlled
and eradicated.

Foot And Mouth Disease, pestis des petits Ruminants, Brucellosis, Sheep Pox and Avian
influenza are considered as Trans-Boundary animal Diseases (TAD) with threat to trade of Live
animals and their products due to their negative impact on Meat and Milk production. National
Control programmes are being implemented for control of FMD.
PPR and Brucellosis in the state

THE PRIVANTION AND CONTROL OF INFECTIOUS AND CONTAGIOUS

DISEASES IN ANIMALS ACT 2009 plays in important role in prevention, control and
eradication of infectious and contagious diseases affecting animals in the country.

2.13: Fire and Emergency

Fire and Emergency services plays a very critical role in the habitat management. One of
the main factors that have accelerated the degradation of forest cover is the occurrence of fire,
which has almost become an annual feature. The glaziers, firewood and MFP collectors and
tourists tend to set fire deliberately or by accident. Smugglers and poachers also set fire to the
forest to divert the attention of field staff. Due to the forest fire the natural regeneration is lost
and the forests are deprived of rich humus. The district is rich in fauna & flora. Wild animals
particularly herbivores and reptiles are the worst sufferers for want of green foliages while
innumerable soil fauna will be destroyed , which play a very important role in maintaining the
ecological balance by decomposing and releasing energy from dead plant and animals. Hence
preventive and fire control measures have been given much importance in the habitat
development.

Vidurashwatha is regarded as the Jallianwala Bagh

of South India. On 25th April 1938 a group of
villagers had gathered in Vidurashwatha to
organize a Satyagraha as a part of the freedom
7 Vidurashwatha struggle of the country. But, as just it had
happened in case of Jallianwala Bagh, the police
had fired indiscriminately at the unarmed villagers
in this case too. It caused the death of 10 people. A
memorial was erected at the location in memory of
the people who lost their lives in the firing.
Gudibande fort is a multi-level structure that was
constructed about 400 years ago. The fort was built
in a grand style by a local chieftain called Byre
Gowda. According to the local legends Byre
8 Gudibande Fort Gowda used to rob the rich people and help the
poor with the looted money. The ruined fort has
many secret passage built inside it. The fort had a
perfect system of rainwater harvesting even 400
years ago. There are 19 rock ponds inside the fort
that exists at different levels.
This ancient structure stands at an elevation of
1350 m on the Nandi Hill ranges. There are two
caves in Skanda Giri which might also merit a
9 Skanda Giri peek while visiting the fortress. The two caves are
yet to be properly explored, but locals say that one
of them leads to the fort. The locals also believe
that the cave has 6 samadhis or mausoleums.

CHAPTER -3

INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM OF DISASTER

MANAGEMENT

42
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

3.1 Introduction
There are two distinct features of the institutional structure for Disaster Management in
India. Firstly, the structure is hierarchical and functions at four levels - Centre, State, District and
Local. Secondly, it is a multi-stakeholder setup, i.e., the structure draws involvement of various
ministries, government departments and administrative bodies. The institutional structure for
disaster management in India is in a state of transition after enactment of GoI’s Disaster
Management (DM) Act 2005. The National Disaster Management Authority has been established
at the GoI level, and the SDMA at state and DDMA at district level are formalized. In addition to
this, the National Crisis Management Committee, part of the earlier setup, also functions at the
Centre. The nodal ministries, as identified for different disaster types of function under the
overall guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Nodal Ministry for disaster management).
This makes the stakeholders interact at different levels within the disaster management
framework.

Figure 3.1: Three-Tire institutional mechanism of disaster management in India.

43
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

Disaster Management Act, 2005

DM Act provides for the effective management of disasters and for matters connected
therewith or incidental thereto. It provides institutional mechanisms for drawing up and
monitoring the implementation of the disaster management. The Act also ensures measures by
the various wings of the Government for prevention and mitigation of disasters and prompts
response to any disaster situation.
The Act provides for setting up of a National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)
under the Chairmanship of the Prime Minister; State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs)
under the Chairmanship of the Chief Minister of the respective states; District Disaster
Management Authorities (DDMAs) under the Chairmanship of Deputy Commissioners at the
district level. The Act further provides for the constitution of different Executive Committee at
national and state levels. Under its aegis, the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM)
for capacity building and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) for response/rescue purpose
has been set up. It also mandates the concerned Ministries and Departments to draw up their own
plans in accordance with the National Plan. The Act further contains the provisions for financial
mechanisms such as creation of National Disaster Response Fund and State Disaster Response
Fund to take up preparedness and mitigation measures and to respond to disasters effectively The
Act also provides specific roles to local bodies in disaster management.

3.2. Institutional Framework

3.2.1. National Level
The overall coordination of disaster management vests with the Ministry of Home Affairs
(MHA). The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) and the National Crisis Management
Committee (NCMC) are the key committees involved in the top-level decision-making with
regard to disaster management. The NDMA is the lead agency responsible for the preparation
DM plans and the execution of DM functions at the national level. Figure 3.1 provides a
schematic view of the basic institutional structure for DM at national level. The figure represents
merely the institutional pathways for coordination, decision-making and communication for
disaster management and does not imply any chain of command. In most cases, state
governments will be carrying out disaster management with the central government playing a
supporting role. The central agencies will participate only on the request from the state
government. Within each state, there is a separate institutional framework for disaster
management at the state-level. The DM Act of 2005 provides for the setting up of NDMA at
national level, and, the SDMA at the state level. The role, composition and the role of the key
decision making bodies for disaster management at national-level are briefly described in the
Table 3.1. The extent of involvement of central agencies will depend on the type, scale, and
administrative spread of the disaster. If the situation requires the direct assistance from central
government or the deployment of central agencies, the central government will provide all
necessary support irrespective of the classification of the disaster.

3.5 Civil Defence:

Civil Defence is an Organisation of the people who fight to mitigate the effect of
disasters both man-made and natural disasters on civilian life. The organization strives to save
life, to minimize damage to property, and restore normalcy as soon as possible. It consists of
highly skilled professional who render their service without any monetary benefits. They are
expanding their bases in most of the districts. Dr. P.S.R. Chethan is the Chief Warden of civil
defence for Bangalore Region. Phone number is annexed with this plan.
Disaster Management Support from ISRO
Department of Space (DOS) has embarked upon the Disaster Management Support
(DMS) Programme as a prime application activity, to reach the benefits of the aerospace
technology for the resolves of disaster management in the country. Various centres of
ISRO/DOS are involved in implementing different components of DMS Programme, which is
centrally coordinated by DMS Programme office at ISRO HQ. The Decision Support Centre
(DSC) established at National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA) is the single window delivery
point for aerial and space enabled inputs together with other important data layers for its use in
disaster management of pre-disaster, during-disaster and post-disaster phases. For online transfer
of space enabled inputs to the State and Central government user departments, a VSAT based
satellite communication network has been put in place. At present, DSC is addressing five
natural disasters viz., Flood, Cyclone, Agricultural Drought, Forest Fire, Earthquake and
Landslide. The operations are Disaster information collection, Data Acquisition, processing, and
transfer to DSC, Data analysis, Output Generation & Dissemination to user via VSAT, FTP,
Web page, E-mail etc.
On receiving information from the identified nodal forecasting organization or Ministry
of Home Affairs (MHA), action for acquisition of space and airborne data is initiated. Depending
upon the satellite pass, cameras are tilted and data is acquired and analysed. First level
information thus derived from space data is made available to MHA and Central & State user
agencies. The information is monitored on a regular basis for damage assessment. DSC has
provision to mobilize aircraft equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Air-borne Laser
Terrain Mapping unit (ALTM) and High Resolution Digital Camera for obtaining aerial data.
DSC aims to build a comprehensive geo-spatial database for the disaster vulnerable regions in
the country. Using the available geospatial data sets in centralized data server, DSC is capable to
develop support tools for decision making. Besides web hosting, satellite based connectivity with
the National and State Emergency Operation Centres is established for fast dissemination of
space enabled services. DSC is working on preparation of maps showing hazard zones. DSC is
working on space inputs for long-term disaster mitigation and rehabilitation. DSC provides
support to the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters. Bhuvan portal developed by
ISRO gives 2D and 3D images of disaster prone areas.
3.6. Forecasting and warning agencies
The timely flow of early warning system from the source to the targeted stakeholder is
very important. The dissemination of early warning should be institutionalized so that it reaches
the stakeholders in minimum possible time by recognized means of communication. In the

Hazards, Vulnerability and Risk Assessment

(HVRA)

65
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

4.1 Introduction:
Understanding of the risks and vulnerability of the community and likely extent of
population and areas of concern based on past history of disasters is the first step in planning.
This basically means carrying out a risk assessment and vulnerability analysis. This resulting in
identification of areas vulnerable to different disasters which can be indicated on the
vulnerability maps. Risk and Vulnerability analysis should be done at the local levels by
involving the local community. Map showing vulnerable areas to different disasters need to be
prepared and updated from time to time for easily identification of vulnerable areas.
Risk analysis is carried out to reduce (a) casualties from potential disasters, (b) disruption
to the economic and social activities, and to mainstream (c) the culture of safety in all activities
undertaken by the governments. It has become part of decision making in sectors such as health
care, environment, physical infrastructure systems, etc.

4.3 Seismic Zoning map:

The Geological Survey of India (GSI) first published the seismic zoning map of the country
in the year 1935. With numerous modifications made afterwards, this map was initially based on
the amount of damage suffered by the different regions of India because of earthquakes. Color
coded in different shades of the color red, this map shows the four distinct seismic zones of
India. Following are the varied seismic zones of the nation, which are prominently shown in the
map:
 Zone - II: This is said to be the least active seismic zone.
 Zone - III: It is included in the moderate seismic zone.
 Zone - IV: This is considered to be the high seismic zone.
 Zone - V: It is the highest seismic zone.
Chikkaballapur falls under Zone II which is least active seismic zone.

4.5 Risk Analysis of Drought:

Karnataka has an area of 192 204 km2; of this nearly one third is constantly affected by
drought. Based on various factors responsible for causing drought conditions, the Chikkaballapur
district has been identified as one of the chronically drought prone areas.
Drought is a normal, recurring feature of climate. In contrast to aridity, which is a permanent
feature of climate, drought is a temporary occurrence and is a direct consequence of a reduction
in the amount of precipitation received over an extended period of time, usually a season or
more. It results in a water shortage for some activities, groups or environmental sectors (Wilhite
and Svoboda, 2000).
Meteorological drought is defined by a precipitation deficiency over a pre-determined period
of time, while agricultural drought is defined more commonly by the lack of availability of soil
moisture to support crop and forage production. Hydrological drought is defined by deficiencies in
surface and subsurface water supplies relative to average conditions. Socio-economic drought reflects the
relationship between the supply and demand for some commodity or economic good that is dependent on
precipitation (UN-ISDR, 2009).
Drought may occur due to want of rain at proper time or sometimes heavy rainfall may damage the
crops. Cyclonic effect in the eastern coast and Bay of Bengal may cause excessive rainfall which would
result in crop damage and other loss.

4.5 Risk of Ground water Contamination:

GROUND WATER ISSUES AND PROBLEMS:
Chikkaballapur district has no perennial water sources for both agriculture and drinking
water purposes and is only source of water is ground water. Ground water plays an important
role in the economy of the farmers of the Chikkaballapur district. Agriculture was mainly
dependent on irrigation facility by numerable widely distributed tanks during earlier days. Due to
drought situations farmers are now mainly depending upon borewells for their agriculture needs.
As per CGWB report, there is no scope for further ground water development. All the taluks
except Bagepalli are over exploited.
Fluoride concentration of more than 1.5 mg/l. is reported from many parts in the
district especially in Bagepalli district. However, some of the exploratory borewells also have
recorded fluoride concentration of 2mg/l. and above especially in Bagepalli Taluk.
Implication of high fluoride Content: Natural contamination of groundwater by fluoride
causes irrepairable damage to plant and human health. High oral intake of fluoride results in
Physiological disorders, skeletal and dental fluorosis, thyroxine changes and kidney
damage in humans. High fluoride levels inhibit germination, Causes ultrastructrual
malformations, reduce photosynthetic capacities, alter membrane permeability, reduce
productivity and biomass and inflict other physiological and biochemical disorders in plants.

in water >5 mg/l i.e., not suitable for drinking and RO plants are installed in such places,
RO Plants installations places are shown in Blue mark.

Impact of Eucalyptus Plantation on Ground Water (depletion):

Eucalyptus is grown extensively in Chikkaballapur district. Eucalyptus is a controversial
trees globally, due to its merits and as well as notoriety. Its merits like fast growing habit, quick
adaptations to wide ranging ecological situations, several industrial applications and as means of
livelihood for unprivileged have elevated it to one of the most desirable tree species to be
introduced in afforestation, farm forestry and social forestry programmes. Nevertheless,
Eucalyptus is also known to cause a number of environmental hazards like depletion of
groundwater, dominance over other species by allelopathic effects, loss of soil fertility and
negative impacts on local food security issues. Chikkaballapur district has large tract of
Eucalyptus plantation which in turn will accentuate ground water depletion.
According to the study “IMPACT OF EUCALYPTUS PLANTATIONS ON
GROUND WATER AVAILABILITY IN SOUTH KARNATAKA” by Mukund Joshi and
K. Palanisami, Karnataka government promoted fast growing Eucalyptus plantation to cover the

73
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

denuded areas, as a part of afforestation programme since 1960s, even finding a buying partner
in corporate sector to purchase its wood for industrial purposes (coverage 70,000 ha). Later, as a
sequel to modified Indian forest Act during 1988, Eucalyptus was promoted as a profitable, no
maintenance low investment crop in cultivated lands, in the style of farm forestry (140,000 ha).
However, the major spread of Eucalyptus was restricted to two districts namely, Bangalore
(rural) and Kolar (undivided Kolar which includes Chikkaballapur), replacing 70,000 ha Ragi, a
staple food. Almost 90 percent of existing Eucalyptus area in Karnataka is in these two districts.
The farmers have continued to grow this easy crop, requiring low capital and attention. But, in
these twenty years of Eucalyptus plantation, the ground water level in these districts has
dwindled alarmingly as compared to other districts. This is evidenced by the report of Central
Ground Water Board classifying these districts as most critically over- exploited areas. The
study is annexed in the annexure.
The status of ground water is over exploited in all taluks, where there is no scope for further
tapping of Groundwater.

4.6 Risk Analysis of Biological Disasters:

Silk is reared in Chikkaballapur. There are more than 300,000 cattle’s and buffaloes in
Chikkaballapur district. Poultry farm is also one of the major sources of livelihood. Pigs, goat,
sheep, are also reared. Spread of epidemic like FMD, virus attack would lead to loss of business
and livelihood. Foot and mouth disease is contagious disease which affects the cloven footed
animals like cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goat, pig and also wild animals like deer, bison and
elephant. ‘0’- Zero type viruses causes the disease outbreak in the State during the month of
August to November.
Acute respiratory tract infection/Influenza like Illness, acute diarrheal disease, dengue
Chickungunia, bacillary dysentery, enteric fever, pneumonia are diseases prevalent in the district.
There is also past history of outbreak of plague in undivided Kolar district. Economically weaker
section with poor sanitation facility with unsafe drinking water is vulnerable to disease
mentioned above.

4.7 Risk Analysis of Unplanned Waste Disposal:

Municipal solid waste (MSW) normally termed as “garbage” or “trash” is an inevitable
byproduct of human activity. Population growth and economic development lead to enormous
amounts of solid waste generation by the dwellers of the urban areas. Urban MSW is usually
generated from human settlements, small industries and commercial activities. An additional
source of waste that finds its way to MSW is the waste from hospitals and clinics. When these
wastes are mixed with MSW, they pose a threat for health and also they may have long term
effect on environment (Pattnaik and Reddy, 2009).
The biodegradable portion dominates the bulk of Municipal Solid Waste. Generally the
biodegradable portion is mainly due to food and yard waste. With rising urbanization and
change in lifestyle and food habits, the amount of municipal solid waste has been increasing
rapidly and its composition changing. There are different categories of waste generated, each
take their own time to degenerate.
Main Sources of Municipal Waste
 House hold waste
 Commercials
 Street sweeping
 Hotels and restaurants
 Clinics and dispensaries
 Construction and demolition
 Horticulture
 Sludge

Figure 4.2: Open Waste Dump

Adverse Effect of open dump: An open dumping is defined as a land disposal site at which
solid wastes are disposed of in a manner that does not protect the environment, are susceptible to
open burning, and are exposed to the elements, vectors, and scavengers. Open dumping can
include solid waste disposal facilities or practices that pose a reasonable probability of adverse
effects on health or the environment.

76
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

Health Effects
 The health risks associated with illegal dumping are significant. Areas used for open
dumping may be easily accessible to people, especially children, who are vulnerable to
the physical (protruding nails or sharp edges) and chemical (harmful fluids or dust)
hazards posed by wastes.
 Rodents, insects, and other vermin attracted to open dump sites may also pose health
risks. Dump sites with scrap tires provide an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, which
can multiply 100 times faster than normal in the warm stagnant water standing in scrap
tire causing several illnesses.
 Poisoning and chemical burns resulting from contact with small amounts of hazardous,
chemical waste mixed with general waste during collection & transportation.
 Burns and other injuries can occur resulting from occupational accidents and methane gas
exposure at waste disposal sites.
Environment Impact of open dump:
 Air pollution: Dust generated from on-site vehicle movements and placement of waste
and materials.
 Water Pollution: Runoff from open dump sites containing chemicals may contaminate
wells and surface water used as sources of drinking water open dumping can also impact
proper drainage of runoff, making areas more susceptible to flooding when wastes block
ravines, creeks, culverts, and drainage basins & also contamination of groundwater
resources and surface water from leachate emissions.
 Soil Contamination: Permanent or temporary loss of productive land.
Global Warming and climate change: In most of the cities & towns the municipal solid waste is
being dumped & burnt in open spaces without understanding the adverse impacts on the
environment. The waste in the dumping ground undergoes various anaerobic reactions produces
offensive Green House gases such as CO2, CH4 etc. These gases are contributing potentially to
Global Warming & Climate Change phenomenon.
4.8 Risk of Level Crossings and its Vulnerability:
The Road Traffic crosses the Railway Track either on “Grade Separated Crossing” (Road
and rail at different Levels) or at “Level Crossing” (Road and rail at same levels). The level
crossings are made to facilitate the smooth running of traffic in a regulated manner governed by
specific rules and conditions.
The primary causes of accidents at unmanned level crossings include haste of the driver to cross
the level crossing before train arrives, mis-adventure to cross level crossings in the face of an
approaching train, road vehicles getting stalled at the locations, rash driving of un-licensed
drivers etc. Accidents at level crossings happen primarily because the road users do not respect
the right of way of railways.
It is observed that most of the time road vehicle driver’s error in judgement of the speed
of train leads to accident. It is a fact that human reaction time is 2.5 seconds which is just
enough to coordinate the reflexes against speed of 60-70 kmph; however, most of the trains on
Indian railways are plying at about 100-120 kmph for which the reaction time is inadequate.
Road users continue to cross the tracks even if the train is visible and approaching causing
leading to level crossing accidents. People walking along the railway track plugging their ears
with earphone, listening to music, are oblivious of the approaching train and are knocked over by
the train. There is an increased trend of this off-late.

Prevention and Mitigation Measures

80
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

5.1 Introduction:
Disaster mitigation means measures designed to prevent, predict and prepare for respond
to mitigate the impact of disaster. Once the area has been identified as hazard prone, it becomes
important that the government and the community should practice mitigation plan may vary
according to hazards. As it has been discussed in the previous chapters Chikkaballapur district
lies in Zone II, low damage risk zone and risk gets compounded when hazard meets with
Vulnerabilities as high dense population, weak physical structures and conventional construction
technologies. Similarly, district is also vulnerable to high degree of Drought, fire and
Road/Industrial accidents.

The disaster especially the natural hazards like flash floods, earthquakes, and cloudbursts
cannot be avoided, however, with mitigation measures along with proper planning of
developmental work in the risk prone area, these hazards can be prevented from turning into
disasters if we take preventive and mitigation measures in advance. This requires changes in the
current development model, practices and priorities. For efficient disaster mitigation, the pre-
disaster phase needs to be utilized for planning and implementing preventive measures on the
one hand and working on preparedness activities on the other. Disaster is caused due to failure of
manmade structures, lack of preparedness and awareness. So far, disaster mitigation efforts are
mostly reactive. Since usually the disaster consider as a development problem, prevention and
mitigation needs to be built in this process only. The primary objectives of prevention and
mitigation efforts would be:

 To identify and assess the existing and potential risks and to work towards reducing
causalities and damage from disaster.
 To substantially increase public awareness of disaster risk to ensure safer environment for
communities to live and work.
 To reduce the risk of loss of life, infrastructure, economic costs, and destruction that result
from disasters.

5.2 Hazard-specific Prevention & Mitigation Measures (Structural & Non-

Structural Measures):

The major hazards which are likely to affect Chikkaballapur district are being discussed
below for mitigation purposes. Both structural and non-structural measures shall be taken as part
of mitigation plan. Structural mitigation refers to any physical construction to reduce or avoid
possible impacts of hazards, which include engineering measures and construction of hazard-
resistant and protective structures and infrastructure. Non-structural mitigation refers to policies,
awareness, knowledge development, public commitment, information sharing which can reduce
risk.

them.
Lightening:
Lightening is a natural phenomenon of the district. Every year people as well as cattle die
due to the lighting. Therefore the proper measure needs to be taken to reduce the death toll.
Few Tips to survive lightning:

 If you are in a building it is advisable to stay inside. Stay away from windows, doors,
fireplaces, stoves, metal pipes, sinks and other electrical charge conductors.
 Unplug TVs, radios and other electrical appliances.
 Don’t use the phone or other electrical equipment.
 If you are outside, seek shelter in a building, cave or depressed area. Lightning typically
strikes the tallest item in an area.
 If you’re caught in the open, bend down with your feet close together and your head
down. Don’t lie flat - by minimizing your contact with the ground you reduce the risk of
being electrocuted by a ground charge.
 Get off bicycles, motorcycles, and tractors.
 If you are in a car, stop the car and stay in it. Don’t stop near trees or power lines that
could fall.

Do’s and Don’ts during Lightning

 If caught on high ground or in an open area, seek shelter in a low area and stay away
from trees.
 If you are swimming, get out of the water immediately, and move away from the body of
water. Being near water is extremely dangerous during a lightning storm.
 If you are caught in a lightning storm with a group of people, maintain a distance of at
least 50-100 feet between each person.
 While inside, keep windows closed, and try to stay within inner rooms of the structure
 In a car, try to avoid touching any part of the metal frame or the car's glass.
 Stay inside at least 30 minutes after the last strike. Don’t go out if the rain starts letting
up.
Measures to be taken –Chemical/Industrial Disaster
In MAH following are the emergency response plan for various types of industrial
disasters as identified in.
Prepare for a Chemical Emergency
 Avoid mixing chemicals, even common household products. Some combinations, such as
ammonia and bleach, can create toxic gases.
 Always read and follow the directions when using a new product. Some products should not
be used in small, confined spaces to avoid inhaling dangerous vapors. Other products should
not be used without gloves and eye protection to help prevent the chemical from touching
your body.
 Store chemical products properly. Non-food products should be stored tightly closed in their
original containers so you can always identify the contents of each container and how to
properly use the product. Better yet – don’t store chemicals at home. Buy only as much of a
chemical as you think you will use. If you have product left over, try to give it to someone
who will use it. Or see below for tips on proper disposal.
 Beware of fire. Never smoke while using household chemicals. Don't use hair spray,
cleaning solutions, paint products, or pesticides near the open flame of an appliance, pilot
light, lighted candle, fireplace, wood burning stove, etc. Although you may not be able to
see or smell them, vapor particles in the air could catch fire or explode.
 Clean up any spills immediately with some rags, being careful to protect your eyes and skin.
Allow the fumes in the rags to evaporate outdoors in a safe place then wrap them in a
newspaper and place the bundle in a sealed plastic bag. Dispose of these materials with your
trash. If you don't already have one, buy a fire extinguisher that is labeled for A, B, and C
class fires and keep it handy.
 Dispose of unused chemicals properly. Improper disposal can result in harm to yourself or
members of your family, accidentally contaminate our local water supply, or harm other
people or wildlife.
 Many household chemicals can be taken to your local household hazardous waste collection
facility. Many facilities accept pesticides, fertilizers, household cleaners, oil-based paints,
drain and pool cleaners, antifreeze, and brake fluid. Some products can be recycled, which is
better for our environment. If you have questions about how to dispose of a chemical, call
the facility or the environmental or recycling agency to learn the proper method of disposal.

Toxic Release
The emergency procedures address to large-scale release of toxic chemical like ammonia
having widespread impact.
 Assess the situation in consultation with industries handling toxic chemicals like
Ammonia, Benzene, H2S, Depending on the situation, determine the action to be taken.
 Inform general public with the help of police, Radio broadcast or TV channel about
required precaution to be taken.
 In case of ammonia leakage, instruct general public to cover their nose with wet cloth and
move towards safe location notified (crosswind direction).
 Ask them to evacuate or remain indoors as per the situation.
 Instruct the villagers to free all the live-stocks to enable them escape. They will move out
to safe place by their natural instinct.
 If evacuation is required, determine the area to be evacuated in downwind direction to
designated Safe Assembly points.

Fire / Explosion

Leakage of LPG from storages or tankers and subsequent fire / explosion can cause widespread
damage. Emergency response action for tackling LPG leaks is given below.
 Leaks from LPG storages, tankers, LPG pump glands, pipes flanges or pipeline ruptures
or from vent emissions due to cargo tank over-pressure or relief valve failure will initiate
a vapour cloud. Therefore, in case of release of large quantity of flammable vapour,
immediate effort should be directed to eliminate source of ignition. In such event,
eliminate all sources of ignition i.e. open flames, welding, cutting, operation etc.
 If possible, isolate the vessel involved in the incident.
 Direct or disperse the vapour cloud away from such sources by means of fixed and/or
mobile water sprays or by water fog arrangement.
 If ignition does occur, there are chances of flash back to the source of leak. Leaks from
pipelines are likely to be under pressure and these, if ignited, will give rise to a jet flame.
 In such a case it may be safer to allow the fire to burn out while protecting surroundings
by copious cooling water rather than to extinguish the fire and risk a further vapour cloud
which may result in explosion or flash back on encountering ignition source again.

Spillage of POL products in the industry will generally be contained in dyke resulting in
confined pool. Leakages from road/rail tankers will result into unconfined pool. Emergency
response actions for tackling such leaks are given below.
 A liquid spillage on land from tank or pipeline ruptures may be in large quantities and
will generally be contained in bonded areas or culverts. The ignition of the ensuing
vapour cloud would then result in a pool fire.
 If possible, isolate the vessel involved in the incident.
 Fire fighting operation should be carried from upwind direction.

89
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

 The hydrocarbon liquids like POL burn with a production of soot. Hence fire fighting
operation should be carried out using respiratory personal protective equipment and / or
fire proximity suits.
 Cool surrounding area exposed to heat radiation or flame impingement, with water in
order to prevent secondary fire. It is suggested that fire fighters should maintain safe
distances from fire.
 The bunds or dykes are provided around the storage tanks storing flammable materials to
limit the size of any pool fires. The storage tanks containing Class ‘A’ products are
normally provided high expansion foam pouring arrangement to control the rate of
burning. This is to be activated in the event of a fire.
 If there is no fire, arrangement should be made to pump out / transfer spilled material to
safer place e.g. into another tank or tankers.

 Do not try to plug the leak.
 Try to instruct people to move away from the downwind direction of the leak (in the
direction of wind).
 Stay clear from the road
 The Police should immediately rush to the site and cordon off the accident site from either
side of the State Highway/District road and stop the traffic on either side.
 Request for ambulance and heavy equipment like crane for rescue operation and
normalisation.
 Police should ascertain the chemical in the tanker based on HAZCHEM code on the
tanker or from the tremcard. The information may also be obtained from tanker crew, if
not seriously injured.
 Inform the District Administration, fire brigade and nearby industry who are supplier /
user of these chemicals, if information available. Industry to be contacted for specific
chemicals is given below.
 Depending on nature of chemicals, action should be initiated to evacuate the persons
in downwind direction. If chemical is flammable like LPG, Petrol or others, effort
should be made to put-off all ignition sources like open flame, bidis, cigarettes etc.
 All the vehicles in vicinity should be asked to stay put and with their ignition off.
 Using proper personal protective equipment, rescue of affected persons should be
initiated. Proper medical attention should be provided.
 On arrival of expert help and depending on the situation, efforts should be made to
contain the leak or transfer into another tanker or to neutralise the leak.

Drought Mitigation Plan

Drought Mitigation work that are being done in the districts are
a) Cleaning of Traditional Water Bodies i.e., Kalyani’s: District as More Traditional
water bodies, one of them is Kalyani’s and 149 Kalyani’s are been identified in the
district in which about 149 Kalyani’s are been Cleaned by Shramadana of Govt Official
and Local Voluntaries, Cleaning and Identifying of Kalyani’s are in process.

Figure 5.1: Kalyani’s cleaned Water Filled after Cleaning

b) Injection Well: Injection wells are built in place where water ruins freely on the surface,
Once water recharged to deep aquifers via Injection well, all the surrounding bore wells
were recharged at every interval of rain and it is very helpful to farmers.

Figure 5.2: Injection & Recharge Well

c) Recharge Well: Recharge wells are ensure that rainwater percolates into the ground and
recharges aquifers. They mitigate water-logging and flooding.

92
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

d) Desilting of Tanks: Most of the Tanks are Encroached and Filled with Silts, Removal of
Encroachments and Desiltation process in going on throughout the district, about 50% of
Tanks Encroachments and Desiltation Removal is finished.

Encroachment Removal Desiltation Water Filled After Desiltation

e) Plantation: Deforestation is also one of the reasons for the Drought; To mitigate the
Drought in the district for the purpose of plantation took up Koti Nati Project the aim the
project is to Plant One Crore plants in the District within year till now we have done the
plantation of 20 lakhs and by the end of the year the target will be achieved.

f) Awareness of Water: For the Conservation of the Water, awareness programs such as
Jalamrutha & Jal Shakti Abhiyan campaign

in all households. To words sustainable development all Govt/Private Buildings are to be
done with Rain Water Harvesting Structure for Conservation of water.

Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting

Agriculture Mitigation measures:

Agriculture Drought occurred when the rainfall is less than half of the normal rainfall in four
consecutive weeks. Under such agricultural drought situations, farmers are advised to follow the
following cultivation practices.

 Ploughing across the slope.

 Formation of small section bunds at an interval of 30 to 40 feet across the slope.
 Opening of Dead furrows at an interval of 10 feet across the slope.
 Application of more organic matter to the soil.
 Line planting /sowing across the slope using seed drill.
 Hardening the seeds before sowing.
 Growing drought tolerant crops like Ragi, Same, Thur, Avare , cowpea, Horsegram,
Castor, Niger etc.,
 Selection of crop varieties suitable to the situation based on the month of sowing.
 Staggered method of Nurseries/Planting.
 Less water consuming crops like Ragi, Maize, Cowpea, Groundnut, Sunflower and
vegetables etc., are to be grown in tank-fed areas instead of more water consuming crops
like Paddy and sugarcane.
Contingent Cropping Plan:
Due to delayed monsoon, the following contingent cropping pattern can be followed.
1. Growing short duration Ragi crop varieties like, GPU-48, ML-365 etc
2. Growing short duration pulse crops like, Cowpea(C-158, S-488) Horsegram and Avare
(H-4) etc.
3. Growing minor millets like Same, Navane etc.

Horticulture Drought Mitigation Measure (Non-Structural Measures):

Chikkaballapur District is one of the important Horticulture district in the Karnataka.
Mango, banana, Papaya, Tomato, Potato, Rose and Marigold are the important crops grown in
the district. Among the fruit crops Mango is the major crop and among the vegetable Tomato is
the major crop grown in the district. This is due to an account of availability of good quality soil
and excellent agro climatic condition. Chikkaballapur is a rainfed region but due to shortfall in
rainfall farming community is dependent upon borewell irrigation. Since ground water is
declining, dry land horticulture will get increased attention in future years.

 Water efficiency improvement schemes implemented by the Department of

Horticulture: Micro irrigation scheme: It is implemented with the objective of better
utilization of available water. At present, 80% subsidy is given to encourage
installation of drip irrigation in horticulture crops in the district. Adoption of improved
methods of irrigation such as drip would not only save water, power, fertilizer
consumption, weeding cost but also helps in controlling environmental degradation.
 Rashtriya Krishi Vikasa Yojana- Precision farming in Banana and Vegetables: An
assistance of Rs. 45,000/acre will be given to the each beneficiary belonging to SC/ST
categories to encourage the area expansion of Banana plantation and an assistance of
Rs. 25,000/acre will be given to the each beneficiary belonging to SC/ST categories to
encourage area expansion of vegetable cultivation.
 Protected Cultivation: In order to prevent farmers from incurring losses owning to
adverse climatic conditions, the Horticulture Department in Chikkaballapur district is
encouraging protected cultivation cultivation of vegetables and flowers under the
National Horticulture Mission. This will prevent pest attacks and diseases.
a) Green house: An assistance of Rs. 4.675 lakhs /1000 Sq. m will be given to the each
Beneficiary to establish high cost green house.
b) Shad net house: An assistance of Rs. 2.05 lakhs/1000 Sq. m will be given to the each
Beneficiary to establish shade net house.
c) Mulching: An assistance of Rs. 10000/ha will be given to the each beneficiary for
mulching of Horticulture crops (maximum of 2 ha / beneficiary will be given).
Mulching helps in controlling weeds & it prevents the water evaporation from the
soil.

Sericulture Drought Mitigation (structural) Measures

Depending upon water availability number of crops per annum is decided but owing to
scanty rainfall during current year water table has reduced considerably and 70% borewells
stopped functioning.
To manage drought remedial measures are enumerated below:
a) Installation of micro-irrigation system.
b) Trenching and mulching.

Integrated Watershed Management Programme taken up for Drought Mitigation:

The annual normal rain fall of the districts is 735.90mm and its occurrence and
distribution is highly erratic. Most of the tanks are silted up there by reducing the water storage
capacity. Dependence on bore well has led over exploitation of groundwater in all Taluks except
Bagepalli.
Due to lack of major perennial source of water in the district the entire agricultural activities
depends on vagaries of monsoon, thus it is imperative to have an effective integrated Watershed
Management Programme in the district.
Objectives of the Programme:
 Sustainable Management of Natural Resource base to increase production &
Productivity of Agricultural Land.
 To increase the Productivity of non-arable land.
 To Increase Capabilities of Local Level Institutions for sustainable Management of
Natural Resource.
To reduce poverty and improve livelihoods of the people by creating alternative livelihood
option for vulnerable families in the Watershed area.
Structural Mitigation measures for Drinking Water Crisis:
At present drinking water is supplied through govt and private tankers. Desilting of tanks,
construction of percolation tanks, rainwater harvesting, Cleaning of Kalyani’s is encouraged to
increase the surface water.
There are few projects envisaged to provide drinking water to Chikkaballapur district.
Yettinahole Diversion Project: Karnataka has been mulling over diverting waters of the
west flowing rivers to the east for many years. Karnataka appointed a committee under Dr.
G. S. Paramshivaiah which worked on a plan to divert waters from west-flowing rivers
including Netravathi to 7 districts of Bayaleseeme region including Kolar, Bangalore,
Tumkur, Ramanagara, Chikmagalore, Chikkaballapur, etc. But currently, the Karnataka
Government is seriously considering Yettinahole Diversion Project which plans to divert
head waters of the Gundia River (a tributary of the Kumardhara, which is a tributary of the
Netravathi) in the west and transfer this water to the other end of the state, in the east. The
tenders for this project have been floated already. Project Report (June 2012) is titled as
Scheme for diversion of flood water from Sakleshpura (West) to Kolar/ Chikkaballapur
Districts (East) ‟The purpose of this project is to supply drinking water to parched districts
of Kolar and Chikkaballapur”.

HN Valley Project: A Lift Irrigation Scheme of Providing 210MLD of Secondary Treated
Sewage from Hebbal STP-150MLD, Hennur STP -40MLD, Horamavu STP-20MLD of

the proven cost-reducing micro-irrigation technology which helps conserve water, reduce
fertilizer inputs and ensures higher productivity. The scheme provides 75% subsidy to the
farmers for adoption of Micro Irrigation systems. The main objective is to achieve
economic and judicious use of water.
Crop Insurance:
1. Modified National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (MNAIS): All farmers irrespective of
the size of their holdings, both loan and non-loaned will be insured against any loss of
yield due to natural calamities in the scheme. The scheme is compulsory for loaned farmers
and subsidised to the extent of 10%.
2. Weather Based Crop Insurance Scheme(WBCIS): The scheme compensates the
insured farmers against the likelihood of financial loss of account of anticipated loss of
crop yield resulting from incidence of adverse weather conditions and will cover the risk of
weather conditions and will cover the risk of weather parameters like rainfall, relative
humidity, temperature, wind velocity, etc.

Pollution Control Measures:

The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPB) is regulating the discharge of
effluents and air emissions from industries through issue of consents under the Water and Air
Pollution Control Acts. While issuing consents, conditions are being imposed regarding the
effluent standards and also emission standards to which the industries have to comply with. Time
limits will also be stipulated to install pollution control systems.
Conditions are stipulated in the consent order regarding proper maintenance of pollution control
systems, periodical analysis of effluent samples and submission of analysis reports. These
aspects will be closely monitored by the staff of the divisional and regional offices who also
collect and analyze the samples for verification regarding compliance to consent conditions
The industries are being rigorously pursued to ensure that the pollution control systems are
installed and commissioned within the stipulated time. In respect of new projects, the consent for
establishment is being issued only after examining the suitability of the site and scrutiny of the
pollution control proposals.
Action initiated by KSPCB for control of pollution in mining activity, water (prevention and
Control of Pollution) act 1974 and Air(Prevention and Control of Pollution) act 1981. Pollution

Mitigation and Prevention measures for Railway accidents at Un-manned Level Crossing:
The problems of mobility and accident prevention at level crossings can best be addressed
by joint efforts of all concerned - Central Government, State Government, Municipalities, NGOs,
educational institutions and private operators etc. Indian Railways has taken my steps in this
regard to prevent/mitigate accidents.
SAFETY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SIMS): A web based system for
overall Safety Management of Indian Railway has been developed in which one of the modules
is over level crossing. This Level Crossing Management System monitors the data of level
crossing by assigning a unique to every level crossing. The Unique ID further correlates to all the
developments like pattern of Traffic, signage, condition, up gradation works, accident details
linked with satellite imagery.
Policy on level crossings: Indian Railways have framed multi-pronged policy to minimise the
accidents and fatalities at level crossings which is summarised below.
Elimination of the existing level crossings: Railways have decided to progressively eliminate
unmanned level crossings by various means:
 Road over bridge (ROB).
 Road under bridge (RUB).
Merger or diversion: Railways have planned construction of Diversion Roads from
Unmanned crossing to nearby Manned Xing or ROB/RUB to divert road vehicles for safe
passage and have permitted up to one km long Diversion Roads through Railway land or
Railway Bridges.

101
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

Other Preventive Measures: Although the accidents at unmanned level crossings primarily and
largely occurred due to negligence of road vehicle users is in clear violation of Section 131 of
Motor Vehicle Act, Indian Railways have been taking steps to ensure additional safety at these
locations. Some of these measures targeted at safety at unmanned and manned level crossing are
as under:
Educating the Public: These primarily consist of educating the public en-mass so as to act as
preventive measure. This is achieved by including chapters on safety at level crossings in the
school syllabus of children.
Safety Campaigns: To educate road drivers about safety at unmanned level crossings, publicity
campaigns are periodically launched through different media like quickies on TV, cinema slides,
posters, radio, newspapers and street plays etc. Involvement of village Panchayats is also
organized in railways' public awareness program.
Safety Drives and Ambush Checks: Joint Ambush Checks with civil authorities are conducted
to nab errant road vehicle drivers under the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the
Railways Act, 1989. Surprise checks and night inspections are regularly conducted to check the
alertness of gatemen.

Signage: Proper signage along the track (Whistle Board) and road (Breaker & Stop Board) have
been provided on approaches to level crossings so that road vehicle drivers become aware of the
existence of a level crossing.

Speed Breaker: Speed breakers/rumble strips have been provided on approaches to level
crossings so that road vehicle drivers are reminded to reduce their speed.

Speed Restrictions: Where the visibility distance is inadequate, speed restrictions for trains are
imposed to allow for longer time interval for road traffic to pass in the face of approaching trains.

COMMUNICATION: Telephones are also being provided at all manned level crossing gates.

Mitigation Plan of Central Government

National Action Plan on Climate Change

On June 30, 2008, Govt. of India released India’s first National Action Plan on Climate Change
(NAPCC), outlining existing and future policies and programs addressing climate mitigation and
adaptation.

Earthquakes

National Earthquake Risk Mitigation Project (NERMP): Understanding the importance of

the management of such hazardous situations caused by the earthquake, the Government of India
has taken a national initiative for launching a project of ‘National Earthquake Risk Mitigation
Project (NERMP). The proposed project aims at strengthening the structural and non-structural
earthquake mitigation efforts and reducing the vulnerability in the high risk districts prone to
earthquakes.

Drought
The Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, under the Ministry of Agriculture,
Government of India released a manual for drought management in November, 2009. The
manual suggests for looking beyond the traditional drought management through famine codes
for dealing with situations of mass hunger and collective penury. It focuses on plans which take
into account all capabilities of the state to address the impact of drought i.e., focus on mitigation
measures, tapping newer technologies, enabling the systems adapt to the new legal framework
and including improvement and area development programmes in drought mitigation.

Fire Accidents
The overall objective of the scheme is to strengthen fire and emergency services in the
country and progressively transform it into Multi-Hazard Response Force capable of acting as
first responder in all types of emergency situations.

Oil Industry related accidents

In the oil industry, the disaster management plan is maintained at the area level and
covers a wide aspect (since their activities are likely to affect local people also). Oil companies
have established their Crisis Management Plan at the company level and at the HQ level also
with specialist to deal with fires and other identified hazards.
Chemical Disasters

The MoEF has taken the following measures towards developing a Regulatory
Framework for Chemical Safety:
i. The Environment (Protection) Act was enacted in 1986. Under the Act, two rules have
been notified for ensuring chemical safety, namely,
a) The Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989
(MSIHC) amended in 1994 and 2000;
b) The Chemical Accidents (Emergency, Planning, Preparedness, and Response)
Rules, 1996 (EPPR) under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
ii. The Public Liability Insurance Act 1991, amended in 1992 and the Public Liability
Insurance.
Mainstreaming of Disaster Risk Reduction in Developmental Strategy
Prevention and mitigation contribute to lasting improvement in safety and should be
integrated in the disaster management. The Government of India has adopted mitigation and
prevention as essential components of their development strategy. The plan emphasises the fact
that development cannot be sustainable without mitigation being built into the developmental
process.

CHAPTER 6
CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAINING
MEASURES

104
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

6.1. Introduction
As per the Disaster Management Act (2005), capacity-building includes:

1. Identification of existing resources and resources to be acquired or created;

2. Acquiring or creating resources identified under sub-clause (i);
3. Organization and training of personnel and coordination of such trainings for effective
management of disasters.
The primary purpose of capacity-building in disaster management is to reduce risk and thus
make communities safer. This can be done by increasing resilience and enhancing coping
capacities. Effective capacity-building at the district level requires the active participation of all
those who are tasked with it. It must, therefore, include maintaining a comprehensive and up-to-
date District Disaster Management Resource Inventory, awareness generation, education,
Research and Development (R&D) and systematic and systematized training. The Deputy
Commissioner should ensure the following capacity-building activities of the entire district, and
the various Heads of Departments should ensure capacity-building of their respective
departments. DDMA will work towards capacity building of the district to disasters by doing the
following activities:

 Awareness generation and sensitization of public by trainings, mock drills, print media,
mass media and street plays.
 Organizing mock drills at regular intervals in schools and government buildings.
 Organizing marathons, slogan writing, painting etc. in different sub division so as to
ensure participation of people from different spheres.
 Organizing specific trainings for masons and engineers for making disaster resistant
buildings.
 Distribution of IEC material to government offices, schools, colleges and panchayats.
 Organizing trainings for stake holders and other employees of state government.
 Ensuring that all villages/Panchayats have an active DM plan and DM task forces.
 Ensuring that all line departments have an active DM plan and DM task forces.
 Updating resource list of all line department at least twice a year.

6.2. Trainings and Capacity Building

The approach for the capacity analysis should eye the short term, medium term and long
term timeline for policy and cutting edge level with a multi-layer approach. The trainings must
target the stakeholders responsible to fill in the gaps in capacity identified in chapter 2. These
trainings should leverage upon the local capacity of the district to facilitate various programs.
The programs to work on the capacity gaps must target the stakeholders at the policy level with
training of officials at DDMA, at cutting edge level with training of civil defense, home guard
and police. These trainings should eye both response and mitigation centric approach to build
upon the existing capacity of the district. To enhance capacity for disaster management the
following training plan is proposed:

6.3 Community Capacity Building

Communities are not only the first to be affected in disasters but also the first responders.
Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes
volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. The community participation for
DM would be promoted on the moto of “self-help”, “help the neighbour” and “help the
community”. The Community Based Approaches or community participation in disaster
management is also referred to as Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) or
Community Based Disaster Risk Management Capacity (CBDRM) with the essential feature of
reducing vulnerability and disaster risk. Community Capacity Building includes formation and
strengthening of the community disaster response or preparedness structures, awareness,
training, public information campaigns, sustainable livelihood activities, through skill
development, formation of task teams for SAR, WASH, Early Warning, First Aid, Shelter
Management. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require
special attention. Networking of youth and women based organisation would be done and they
will be trained in the various aspects of response such as first aid, search and rescue,

110
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

management of community shelters, psycho-social counseling, distribution of relief and

accessing support from government/agencies etc. Community plans will be dovetailed into the
Panchayat, Block and District plans. DDMA will coordinate with volunteers and social
organizations like Home Guards, NCC, Red Cross, Market Trade Associations, Youth Clubs,
Self Help Group (SHGs), CBO’s, NGO’s and Anganwadi centres, etc. play a vital role in
spreading mass scale community awareness. Media equally plays an important role in raising
awareness and educating people. Skill- development at the community level can be done on the
Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to ensure sustainability of the community against
disasters. Public awareness can be brought about through:
 Traditional modes of promoting knowledge and awareness would be adopted such as use of
folk songs, nuked nataks, etc.
 Community would be targeted through local fairs and festivals.
 Documentaries in local language would be screened through local cable networks etc. and
mass media would be roped to promote education and awareness.

Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Village Contingency Planning (VCP)
are critical aspects for capacity building at the community-level and will be managed by the
concerned departments in the district. Multiple responsibilities within the arena of capacity-
building and training will be delegated to local authorities, PRIs and ULBs under the overall
guidance of the District Administration.

6.4. Capacity Building of Persons with Disabilities (PWD)

It is important to consider the special/specific needs of persons with disabilities in every phase
of disaster management and risk reduction planning. Specialist Services to empower PWD’s by
promoting access to following can reduce vulnerability and increase their capacity:

 Functional rehabilitation: eg., Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, prosthetic and orthotic

services
 Corrective surgery
 Assistive devices
 Information leaflets in Braille
 Sign language for early warning systems
 Disabled Peoples Organisations.
 Support services: care taker, sign language interpreter, adapted transportation services, etc.
Not all organizations can focus on disability issues to the same extent; every organization has to
choose its level of involvement and accordingly obtains the appropriate education/training/
skilled personnel.
6.5 India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN)
India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN) is an online inventory designed as a
decision making tool for the Government administrators and crisis managers to coordinate
effective emergency response operations in the shortest possible time. The Ministry of Home
Affairs, Government of India has developed a web-based database of resource named India
Disaster Resource Network (IRDN). This database contains information about Equipments
(such as boats, bulldozers, chain saw, etc), Manpower (divers, swimmers, etc) and Critical
supplies (oxygen cylinder, fire fighting foams, etc) required during response. IDRN can be
accessed by anyone and its direct link is idrn.gov.in. IDRN for Chikkaballapur district is being
updated.
The resources available in the district with both private and Government are being
complied and are being updated in IDRN.
6.6 Mock Exercise: Conducted Mock Exercise on the Fire Accident & Building Collapse by the
NDRF team and Fire department of the district.

CHAPTER-7

RESPONSE AND RELIEF MEASURES

114
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

7.1. Introduction

The post disaster phase of Disaster Management looks into Relief, rehabilitation,
reconstruction and recovery. The effective disaster management strategy aims to lessen disaster
impacts through strengthening and reorienting existing organizational and administrative
structure from district – state to national level. Relief on the contrary, is viewed as an
overarching system of facilitation of assistance to the victims of disaster for their rehabilitation in
States and ensuring social safety and security of the affected persons. Relief needs to be prompt,
adequate and of approved standards. It is no longer perceived only as gratuitous assistance or
provision of emergency relief supplies on time. Emergency response plan is, thus, a first attempt
to follow a multi-hazard approach to bring out all the disasters on a single platform,
incorporating disaster resilient features to ‘build back better’ as the guiding principle. It provides
a framework to the primary and secondary agencies and departments, which can outline their
own activities for disaster response. Response process begins as soon as it becomes apparent that
a disastrous event is imminent and lasts until the disaster is declared to be over Disaster response
is aimed at: Saving Life-Minimis the Loss- Stabilising the Situation.

7.2. Response Planning

The onset of an emergency creates the need for time sensitive actions to save life and
property, reduce hardships and suffering, and restore essential life support and community
systems, to mitigate further damage or loss and provide the foundation for subsequent recovery.
Effective response planning requires realistic identification of likely response functions,
assignment of specific tasks to individual response agencies, identification of equipment,
supplies and personnel required by the response agencies for performing the assigned tasks. A
response plan essentially outlines the strategy and resources needed for search and rescue,
evacuation, etc.

7.5. Resource Mobilization

Resource mobilization is one of the most important and crucial activity when any disaster
occurs in the district for responding to disaster in an efficient manner. The IDRN portal has
information regarding the different kind of resources available for multi-hazard, with the various
departments along with their location across district. It can lead to quick and immediate
procurement of the required resources from the nearest available site and department for
response to any disaster. Various resources required in the damages and needs assessment will be
mobilized by the concerned departments. Following is the list of the departments which are
responsible for mobilizing various needs identified in the damages and needs assessment:

7.6. Response Management

7.6.1. Activation of EOC

The DEOC will function to its fullest capacity on the occurrence of disaster. The district
DEOC will be fully activated during disasters. The activation would come into effect either on
occurrence of disaster or on receipt of warning. On the receipt of warning or alert from any
approved agency which is competent to issue any early emergency warning, all community
preparedness measures including counter-disaster measures will be put into operation. The
Deputy Commissioner will assume the role of the Chief of Operations for Disaster Management.
All line departments’ senior official will be immediately reported to the DEOC. The DDMA will
expand the Emergency Operations Centre to include Branch arrangements with responsibilities
for specific tasks depending on the nature of disaster and extent of its impact. All the occurrences
report would be communicated to the SEOC/SDMA, NEOC/NDMA and Supporting Agencies
by means of telephone and subsequently fax periodically. The occurrence of disaster shall be
immediately communicated to the stakeholders such as NGOs, trained volunteers through SMS
gateway (or telephonic in case of communication exist or any available communication network)
for which specific provision of group mobile directory would be made.

Main Roles of DEOC after activation:

a. Assimilation and dissemination of information.

b. Liaise between Disaster site and State Head Quarter.
c. Monitoring, coordinate and implement the DDMP.
d. Coordinate actions and response of different departments and agencies.
e. Coordinate relief and rehabilitations operations
f. Hold press briefings.

7.6.2. Relief distribution

Relief distribution will be coordinated by sub divisional, taluk and respective disaster
management committees. The onsite distribution will be done by incident response team. The
updated needs will be communicated to the DDMA and the DDMA will ensure the regular
supply of the required items. The relief distribution will include essential items which serves the
basic needs of the affected community like LPG , medicines, clothes, food items, drinking water,
soaps, blankets, items of special needs for women’s, children’s, handicapped and old aged.

120
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

7.6.3. Search and rescue management

Search and Rescue activities include, but are not limited to, locating, extricating, and
providing immediate medical assistance to victims trapped in exigency situation. People who are
trapped under destroyed buildings or are isolated due to any disaster need immediate assistance.
The District Commissioner, in conjunction with local authorities will be responsible for the
search and rescue operations in an affected region. At present, Nodal department for this activity
is NDRF and Home Guard/civil Defense Department. The helping departments for search and
rescue are P.W.D., ZP/MCC, Self-help groups, N.C.C, NGO and PRED. There are other bodies
too that help these departments in this work, like, Health department, Fire department. In doing
so, the DC will be guided by relevant disaster management plans and will be supported by
Government departments and local authorities.

7.6.4. Information management and Media management

Media has to play a major during disaster. They will aid in information dissemination
about help-line, aid-distribution camps, emergency phone number or the needs of the people.
Further, they will also help in quashing rumours, for crowd management and prevent panic
situation. Media will also help in mobilizing resources [money, volunteers etc.] from other areas.
To disseminate information about various hazards in the district and the relevant dos and don‘ts
during and after a disaster encompass under the media management. This will be done through
various media such as newspapers, television, radio, internet, media and information van, street
theatre, etc. The DDMA will establish an effective system of collaborating with the media during
emergencies. At the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC), a special media cell will be
created during the emergency. Both print and electronic media are regularly brief by some senior
official designated from DDMA at predetermined time intervals about the events as they occur
and the prevailing situation on ground. The District information Officer in consultation with the
DDMA would take appropriate steps in this direction also too.

7.6.5. VIP management

It may be possible that the scale of a disaster may in addition prompt visits of the
VVIPS/VIP which further requires the active management to ensure the effortlessly ongoing
response and relief work without any interruption. DDMA will be designated senior official to
handle the VVIPs/VIPs visits to the affected areas and further to brief the VVIP/VIP beforehand
about the details of casualties, damage and the nature of the disaster. The Police and Home guard
will be handled all the security of VVIPs/VIP during their visit. It would be desirable to restrict
media coverage of such visits, in which case the police should liaise with the government press
officer to keep their number to minimum.

7.6.6. NGO Coordination and Management

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) will play as one of the most effective

alternative means of achieving an efficient communications link between the disaster
management agencies and the effected community due to their outreach at the grassroots level.

121
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

As per the section 35 and 38 of the DM Act 2005 stipulates that the DDMA shall specifically
emphasize the coordination of actions with NGOs. In typical disaster situation, DDMA with the
support of DRDA, will coordinate the NGOs/CBO’s and further manage their work in prompt
response, relief and rescue. It will also monitor and take feedback at grassroots level by the
agreeable community participation.

7.6.7. Disposal of dead bodies and carcass

District administration will coordinate to arrange the mass cremation burial of the dead
bodies with support of police & forest department after observing all codal formalities &
maintain the video recording of such unclaimed dead bodies after properly handing over the
same to their kith or kin. Department of animal husbandry in association with the local
administration shall be responsible for the deposal of the animal carcass in case of mass
destruction.

7.6.8. Seeking external help for assistance

1. Procedure for Provision of Aid:

i. The Armed Forces are conscious of not only their constitutional responsibility in-aid to civil
authority, but also, more importantly, the aspirations and the hopes of the people. Although such
assistance is part of their secondary role, once the Army steps in, personnel in uniform whole
heartedly immerse themselves in the tasks in accordance with the Army’s credo-“SERVICE
BEFORE SELF”.

ii. Assistance during a disaster situation is to be provided by the Defense Services with the
approval and on orders of the central government. In case, the request for aid is of an emergency
nature, where government sanctions for assistance is not practicable, local military authorities
when approached for assistance should provide the same. This will be reported immediately to
respective Services Headquarters (Operations Directorate) and normal channels taken recourse
to, as early as possible.

2. Requisition Procedure:

Any state unable to cope with a major disaster situation on its own and having deployed
all its resources will request Government of India for additional assistance. Ministry of Defense
will direct respective service headquarters to take executive action on approved requests. The
chief secretary of state may initiate a direct request for emergency assistance, for example,
helicopter for aerial reconnaissance, or formation of local headquarter (Command/Area
Headquarters) or naval base or air force station.

3. The Armed Forces may be called upon to provide the following types of assistance:

 Infrastructure for command and control for providing relief. This would entail provision of
communications and technical man power.
 Search rescue and relief operations at disaster sites.
 Provision of medical care at the incident site and evacuation of casualties.

122
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

 Logistics support for transportation of relief materials

 Setting up and running of relief camps
 Construction and repair of roads and bridges to enable relief teams/material to reach
affected areas.
 Repair, maintenance and running of essential services especially in the initial stages of
disaster relief.
 Assist in evacuation of people to safer places before and after the disaster
 Coordinate provisioning of escorts for men, material and security of installations,
 Stage management and handling of International relief, if requested by the civil ministry

4. Disaster Relief Operation

Important aspects of policy for providing disaster relief are as under:

 Disaster relief act can be undertaken by local commanders. However, HQ Sub Area is to be
informed at the first opportunity and then flow of information to be maintained till
completion of the task.
 Effective and efficient disaster relief by the army while at task.
 Disaster relief tasks will be controlled and coordinated through Commanders of Static
headquarters while field units Commanders may move to disaster site for gaining first-hand
knowledge and ensuring effective assistance.
 Once situation is under control of the civil administration, army aid should be promptly de-
requisitioned.
 Adequate communication, both line and radio, will be ensured from Field Force to
Command Headquarters.

5. Procedure to Requisition Army, and Air Force:

a. It will be ensured by the local administration that all local resources including Home Guards,
Police and others are fully utilised before assistance is sought from outside. The District
Magistrate will assess the situation and projects his requirements to the State Government.
District Control Room will ensure that updated information is regularly communicated to the
State Control Room, Defense Service establishments and other concerned agencies.

b. District Magistrate will apprise the State Government of additional requirements through State
Control Room and Relief Commissioner of the State.

c. Additional assistance required for relief operations will be released to the District Magistrate
from the state resources. If it is felt that the situation is beyond the control of state
administration, the Relief commissioner will approach the Chief Secretary to get the aid from the
Defense Services. Based on the final assessment, the Chief Secretary will project the requirement
as under while approaching the Ministry of Defense, Government of India simultaneously for
clearance of the aid:

6. Co-Ordination between Civil and Army:

For deployment of the Army along with civil agencies on disaster relief, co-ordination
should be carried out by the district civil authorities and not by the departmental heads of the line
departments like Police, Health & Family Welfare, PWD and PHED etc.

123
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

7. Overall Responsibility When Navy and Air Force are also being employed:

When Navy and Air Force are also involved in disaster relief along with the Army, the
Army will remain over all responsible for the tasks unless specified otherwise.

8. Principles of Deployment of Armed Forces

Judicious Use of Armed Forces: Assistance by Armed Forces should be requisitioned only
when
a) It becomes absolutely necessary and when the situation cannot be handled by the civil
administration from within its resources. However, this does not imply that the response
must be graduated. If the scale of disaster so dictates, all available resources must be
requisitioned simultaneously.

b) Immediate Response: When natural and other calamities occur, the speed for rendering
aid is of paramount importance. It is clear that, under such circumstances, prior sanction
for assistance may not always be forth coming. In such cases, when approached for
assistance, the Army should provide the same without delay. No separate Government
approval for aid rendered in connection with assistance during natural disaster sand other
calamities is necessary.

c) Command of Troops: Army units while operating under these circumstances continue to
be under command of their own commanders, and assistance rendered is based on task
basis.

d) No Menial Tasks: While assigning tasks to troops, it must be rendered that they are not
employed for menial tasks e.g. troops must not be utilised for disposal of dead bodies.

e) Requisition of Aid on Task Basis: While requisitioning the Army, the assistance should
not be asked for in terms of number of columns, engineers and medical teams. Instead,
the-civil administration should spell out tasks, and leave it to Army authorities to decide
on the force level, equipment and methodologies to tackle the situation.

f) Regular Liaison and Co-ordination: In order to ensure that optimum benefits derived
out of Armed Forces employment, regular liaison and coordination needs to be done at all
levels and contingency plans made and disseminated to the lowest level of civil
administration and the Army.

g) Advance Planning and Training: Army formations located in areas prone to disaster
must have detailed plans worked out to cater for all possible contingencies. Troops
should be well briefed and kept ready to meet any contingency. Use of the Vulnerability
Atlas where available must be made.

h) Integration of all Available Resources: All available resources, equipment,

accommodation and medical resources with civil administration, civil firms and NGOs
need to be taken into account while evolving disaster relief plans. All the resources
should be integrated to achieve optimum results. Assistance from outside agencies can be
super imposed on the available resources.

124
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

i) Early De-requisitioning: Soon after the situation in a disaster-affected area has been
brought under control of the civil administration, Armed Forces should be de-
requisitioned.

7.7 Relief Measures:

Once the rescue phase is over, the district administration shall provide immediate relief
assistance either in cash or in any kind to the victims of the disaster. The District Disaster
Management Authority, of district & its Emergency Support Functionaries shall enter in to pre-
contract well in advance and procure materials required for life saving. The office of Deputy
Commissioner is responsible for providing relief to the victims of natural & manmade disasters
like fire, lighting, earthquakes, accidents etc.

AND RECOVERY

137
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

8.1. Sector specific approach and processes for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and
Recovery
Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery process demands co-ordinate focus on multi
disciplinary aspects of reconstruction and rehabilitation for recovery and is essential to
understand disaster reconstruction, rehabilitation under the holistic framework of post disaster
recovery. It will be in the form of recommendation rather than the rule. Rehabilitation and
reconstruction are primarily carried out by the local bodies (Gram Panchayats, District, Talukas,
Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, etc.) and different Government departments and boards.
The reconstruction and rehabilitation plan is designed specifically for worst case scenario. Post
disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation should pay attention to the following activities for
speedy recovery in disaster affected areas. The contribution of both government as well as
affected people is significant to deal with all the issues properly. Immediate and Long Term
recovery plan includes following broad activities:
 Damage assessment
 Disposal of debris
 Disbursement of assistance for houses
 Formulation of assistance packages
 Monitoring and review
 Relocation
 Town planning and development plans
 Reconstruction as Housing Replacement Policy
 Awareness and capacity building
 Housing insurance
 Grievance redressal

CHAPTER 9

FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR

IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP

142
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

9.1. Existing sources of Funds for Disaster Management in the District:

State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF):
SDRF is a fund constituted under section 48(1) (a) of the Disaster Management Act, 2005
(53 of 2005), these guidelines are being issued under section 62 of the DM Act, 2005.
Calamities Covered under SDRF:
The SDRF shall be used only for meeting the expenditure for providing immediate relief
to the victims of cyclones, drought, earthquake, fire, flood, tsunami, hailstorm, landslide,
avalanches, cloud burst and pest attack.
National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF):
NDRF is a fund constituted under section 46 of the Disaster Management Act 2005.These
Guidelines are issued under section 46 (2) of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (hereinafter
DM Act, 2005), to supplement funds from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) of a State,
to facilitate immediate relief in case of calamities of a severe nature.
Calamities Covered under NDRF:
Natural Calamities of Cyclone, drought, earthquake, fire, flood, tsunami, hailstorm,
avalanches, Cloud burst and pest attack considered being of severe nature by Government of
India and requiring expenditure by a State Government in excess of the balances available in its
own State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF), will qualify for immediate relief assistance from
NDRF.
Flexi-funds under Centrally Sponsored Schemes:
NITI Aayog has issued instructions for Rationalization of CSS, vide OM No. O-
11013/02/2015-CSS & CMC dated 17th August, 2016. These instructions are applicable for
Centrally Sponsored Schemes with one of the key objective “To undertake mitigation/
restoration activities in case of natural calamities, or to satisfy local requirements in areas
affected by internal security disturbances. Therefore the CSS mentioned in Chapter 4 of this plan
are one potential source of funding for mitigation/restoration activities.

9.2. Funds to be created under DM Act 2005

District Disaster Response Funds (DDRF)
DDRF is proposed to be created at the District Level as mandated by Section 48 of the
DM Act. The disaster response funds at the district level would be used by the DDMA towards
meeting expenses for emergency response, relief, rehabilitation in accordance with the guidelines
and norms laid down by the Government of India and the State Government.
District Disaster Mitigation Funds (DDMF)

District Disaster Mitigation funds would be created at the District Level as mandated
under Section 48 of the DM Act 2005.

143
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

9.3. Responsibilities of the State Departments and Agencies

All State Government Departments, Boards, Corporations, PRED and ULBs have to
prepare their DM plans under Section 40 of The DM Act 2005. These Departmental DM Plans
are already under preparation at the State Level including the financial projections to support
these plans. The necessary financial allocations will be made as part of their annual budgetary
allocations, and ongoing programmes. They will also identify mitigation projects and project
them for funding in consultation with the SDMA/DDMA to the appropriate funding agency.

9.4. Techno-Financial Regime

Considering that the assistance provided by the Government for rescue, relief,
rehabilitation and reconstruction needs cannot compensate for massive losses on account of
disasters, new financial tools such as catastrophe risk financing, risk insurance, catastrophe
bonds, micro-finance and insurance etc., will be promoted with innovative fiscal incentives to
cover such losses of individuals, communities and the corporate sector. In this regard, the
Environmental Relief Fund under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, enacted for providing
relief to chemical accident victims is worth mentioning. Some financial practices such as disaster
risk insurance, micro-finance and micro-insurance, warranty on newly constructed houses and
structures and linking safe construction with home loans will be considered for adoption.

9.5. Other Financing Options

DDMA in coordination with the departments will identify other financing options for
restoration of infrastructure/livelihoods, like utilization of flexi fund within Centrally Sponsored
Scheme for mitigation/restoration activities in the event of natural calamities in accordance with
the broad objective of the Central Sector Scheme.
Opportunities of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & Public-Private Sectors funds
investments would also be explored and elaborated by the DDMA for increasing disaster
resilience.

The District Disaster Management Plan is the sum and substance of the Horizontal and
the Vertical disaster management plans in the district. District Disaster Management Plan is a
public document which is neither a confidential document nor restricted to any particular section
or department of administration. The underlying principal of disaster management is that it has to
be part of all departments and none can fold fingers against it.
10.2. Authority for maintaining & reviewing the DDMP
The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) will update the DDMP annually and
circulate approved copies to the entire stakeholder in District. DDMA, will ensure the planning,
coordination, monitoring and implementation of DDMP with regards to the mentioned below

CHAPTER 11

COORDINATION MECHANISM FOR

IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP

149
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

11.1. Introduction
The Coordination between District and Local governments is vital for the proper disaster
management. It requires both inter departmental and intra departmental coordination with all the
stakeholder line departments and local bodies like, PWD, BESCOM, Health and Family Welfare,
Fire and Home guards, Police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, Forest, Revenue, Education,
Agriculture, Horticulture, KSRTC, Red Cross, Municipalities, NGO’s. Community Based
Organisation and other local authorities. These partnerships recognize that each level of the
disaster management arrangements must work collaboratively to ensure the effective
coordination of planning, services, information and resources necessary for comprehensive
disaster management.

The DDMP of the district is a three tier disaster management coordination based on
bottom to top approaches i.e. taluk level, Sub-Division level and District level. This system
enables a progressive escalation of support and assistance. The arrangements comprises of
several key management and coordination structures. The principal structures that make up the
Arrangements are:

(A) Disaster management committees are operational at taluk, Sub-Division and district level.
The above committees are responsible for planning, organising, coordinating and implementing
all measures required to mitigate, prevent, prepare, respond and recover from disasters the
affected area under their jurisdiction.

(B) Emergency Operation Centers at taluk, Sub-Division and district level supports disaster
management groups while coordinating information, resources, and services necessary for
disaster operations.

(C) Functional agencies of district administration, DDMA are responsible to coordinate and
manage specific threats and provide support to other agencies on and as require

11.2. Intra-Departmental Coordination:-

Each stake holder department i.e., PWD, Irrigation, BESCOM, Health and Family
Welfare, fire and home guards, police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, forest, Education,
Agriculture horticulture, KSRTC, Red Cross will constitute departmental level disaster
management committee headed by a gazetted officer pertaining to that department. The
committees will organise quarterly meetings of the committee members to analyses the
preparedness level of the department in regard to disaster management. The committee will also
decide the measures to be taken for reducing the gaps in their capacities and keep the proper
record of the same.

150
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

11.3. Sub division level coordination mechanism:-

As per the institutional mechanism, sub divisional officer (Civil) will call for the
quarterly meeting the sub division level disaster management committee to review the
preparedness level and plan to reduce the gaps identified. The chairperson will further report the
situation to the DDMA and send the requisition of resources if required.

11.4. Taluk level coordination mechanism:-

As per the institutional mechanism, tahsildar will call for the quarterly meeting at the
taluk level disaster management committee to review the preparedness level and plan to reduce
the gaps identified at Taluk level.

11.5. Arrangements at local level

It is the local level that manages disasters within their own communities. Taluk, sub
division and district levels are to provide additional resources, support, assistance and expertise
as required. Local government is the key management agency for disaster events at local level.
Local government achieves coordinated disaster management approach through Local Disaster
Management committees.

11.6. Coordination system with inter departments and at district level

The District Magistrate/DC is the head of the District administrative set up and
chairperson of the DDMA as per the DM Act, 2005. She / He has been designated as the
responsible officer in the District. The heads of different departments in the District will have
separate roles to play depending on the nature and kind of disaster. The roles and responsibilities
of the members of the DDMA will be decided in advance in consultation with the concerned
members.

Pre Disaster coordination: Minimum Annual meetings for review of preparedness and
discussing the roles and responsibilities of the line departments, taluks and Sub Divisions. The
meeting agenda would be discussing the capacity of each department in terms of SAR
equipment’s and manpower and regular updation of the same.

Disaster phase coordination: Coordination through phone or any other mode of communication
in a disaster phase is not possible hence all the line departments and training institutes in the
district should report to the DEOC as soon as the disaster strikes. After loss/damage assessment
at the DEOC, the RO (D.C) would direct various stake holders to deploy their resources and task
forces in the affected areas. Relief camps would be setup at a pre-defined location.

151
Chikkaballapur District Disaster Management Plan 2019-20

Post disaster coordination: In the post disaster phase, the RO would take updates on the
conditions of basic amenities like water, food, roads, law and order etc. from the respective
departments. An assessment of relief given and need of rehabilitation would also be taken in the
post disaster phase.

11.7. Coordination mechanism with community:

The community will be coordinated through the village disaster management committees.
The mentioned committees generally comprises of

Frequency of local Committee meetings

Local Committee meetings must be held at least once in every six months at particular
time and place decided by the chairperson of the group. In addition, the chairperson of a Local

Figure 12.1: Coordination mechanism with community

11.8. Coordination mechanism with NGOs, CBOs, Self Help Groups (SHGs),
The strong linkages which NGOs CBOs have with grassroots communities can be
effectively harnessed for creating greater public awareness on disaster risk and vulnerability,
initiating appropriate strategies for strengthening the capacity of stakeholder groups to improve
disaster preparedness, mitigation and improving the emergency response capacities of the
stakeholders. In addressing the emerging concerns of climate change adaptation and mitigation,
NGOs can play a very significant role in working with local communities and introducing
innovative approaches based on the good practices followed in other countries. NGOs can bring
in the financial resources from bi-lateral and multilateral donors for implementing pragmatic and
innovative approaches to deal with disaster risk and vulnerability, by effectively integrating and
converging the various government programs, schemes and projects to create the required
synergy in transforming the lives of at-risk communities. The DDMA will maintain a proper
record of the NGO’s and CBO’s working in the district and also map the available resources for
them. The DDMA will appoint a Nodal officer for coordination with NGO’s, CBO’s and SHG’s.
The DDMA will call annual meeting of NGO’s, CBO’s & SHG’s for mapping their resources.
The meeting will be coordinated by the designated Nodal officer.

11.9. Coordination with other districts and state:

The DDMA will call annual meeting with neighboring district authorities pertaining to
Disaster risk reduction and capacity building by reducing the existing gaps through regular
coordination. The DDMA will participate in the meetings called by SDMA or other State level
authorities to promote coordination with other districts and state authorities.
