sector. Drought is also related to the timing of precipitation. Other climatic
factors such as high temperature, high wind, and low relative humidity are often
associated with drought. Drought is a recurrent feature of the climate. It occurs in
virtually all climatic zones and its characteristics vary significantly among
regions. Drought differs from aridity in that drought is temporary; aridity is a
permanent characteristic of regions with low rainfall.

43
8. RECOVERY & RECONSTRUCTION PLAN
Getting back to normal.
• Establish a programme to restore both the disaster site and the damaged
materials to a stable and unstable condition.
• Determine priorities for restoration work and seek the advice of a conservator
as to the best methods and options, and obtain cost estimates.
• Develop a phased conservation programme where large quantities of material
are involved.
• Discard items not worth retaining, and replace or re-bind items not justifying
special conservation treatment.
• Contact insurers.
• Clean and rehabilitate the disaster site.
• Replace treated material in the refurbished site.
• Analyze the disaster and improve the plan in the light of experience.
RE-CONSTRUCTION:
Relocation and Rehabilitation Preparation of Development Plans
Preparation of Town Planning Scheme Infrastructure Development Following
Functions will be performed by the various nodal and support agencies of the
District Emergency Support Function Plan- 2004.Communication agencies
should start setting up and restoring the telecommunication services by way of
towers and cables etc. Work should be done with prioritizing the services for
government departments and the agencies providing emergency support. Schools
and Education sector should also be connected with telecom services. Water
Supply agency, primarily NDMC should restore water supply pipes. Care has to
be taken to ensure no contamination.
44
Power Supply agencies would set up cables and power. Restoration of
power supply should be done. The department may be required to take help from
other agencies. Trauma Counseling agencies and volunteer organizations, NGOs
have an active role to play in getting the people out of the shocked state.
Medical services would also be required on a long term for certain
serious cases of injury. Transport services should resume as soon as road and
debris clearance has been done effectively. Routes may be required to be changed
in case the roads have been damaged.
The most important agency involved in disaster recovery is the Relief-
(food and shelter) agency. Once damage assessment has been done, rehabilitation
would begin. Food supply may be required for a few days after the disaster.
Restoration of Basic Infrastructure:
After any disaster, restoration of basic infrastructure is a big concern.
Following issues in reconstruction need to be looked at while restoration and
retrofitting of buildings.
• Ensuring Earthquake Resistance
• Available Technical Know How
• Development of Appropriate guidelines
• Appropriate Awareness creation
• Capacity building for carrying out the works Control and assurance of
required quality of construction
Reconstruction through NGOs
• The decision on the relocation / in-situ reconstruction of the district should
be taken by the District Disaster Management Committee. Relocation of
any big colony may be done only when majority of the community agrees
on it.
45
Owner Driven Reconstruction
• The owners themselves re construct often houses. One of the benefits of
this kind of reconstruction is that it ensures that the design of the houses is
determined by the owners themselves, as per their needs and preferences. It
also ensures that instead of being uniform the houses reconstructed are of
different patterns. The approach includes “Technology Transfer” to the
community and subsequently the sustainability of the programme.
Community-Based Needs Assessments
• In order to come up with a proper and acceptable program for recovery
and rehabilitation, it is also important to understand the felt needs of
affected communities. Consulting affected populations through interviews
prior to any recovery program ensures public acceptance and support of
any planned Endeavour. Needs assessment helps prioritize particular areas
that need the most immediate action for rehabilitation.
a. Infrastructure and Services
b. Community Livelihood
c. Priorities for Habitat Restoration
FINANCIAL GRANTS AND PROVISION:
• For restoration of the damaged buildings /houses either the State or Central
Government has to make provisions for financial grants or the following
strategy can be adopted .
46
i) Insurance of the Buildings :-
Either the houses or the buildings should be insured in the district
Shimla either by the owner or through the sate govt. or on damage the
return so received from the Insurance companies shall be utilized for
reconstruction.
ii) Short Term Loans:-
The govt. should extend the facility of short term loans to the
affected families on subsidized interest rates.
iii) Assistance/financial aid:-

psychological treatment to the affected persons who have witnessed the
trauma of the disaster.
47
9. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklist
SOPs and checklists could be prepared for various stakeholders effective
response. These can be made based on the functioning of Emergency Support
Function (ESF) groups or Incident Response System (IRS).Depending on the
hazard profile and level of exposure the district should decide in a participatory
way the number of ESF covering all the above.
Humanitarian Relief and Assistance:
• Food
• Drinking Water
• Medicines

III. ROLL AND ACTION PLAN OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS:
REVENUE DEPARTMENTS:-
As already instructed the officers of this department will be visiting
the irrigation sources such as tanks and river beds and ascertain their position
regarding inflow, discharge and water storage levels etc., and see the
arrangements of strengthening the bunds etc., whenever necessary in consultation
with technical experts. The villagers should be informed of the real situation with
the least possible delay. Rumours can be avoided by giving correct and timely
intimation among the public.
In Sivaganga Collectorate, a separate Flood Control Room is
functionng. This control room is working round the clock. Any incident
regarding Natural Calamities may be reported to Collectorate through a Four
Digit Toll free Telephone No.”1077”. A web based reporting system to State
Relief Commissioner, ie. Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Revenue
Administration, Chepauk, Chennai-5 is also functioning at Collectorate. The
IDRN (Indian Disaster Resource Network) is also updated every year.
The Tahsildar, Zonal Deputy Tahsildars and Revenue inspectors
should inspect the proposed shelter home to assess its stability and satisfy
themselves that buildings are fit to be used as shelter homes at short notice.
The Taluk Tahsildar should know how to operate the VHF sets
available with the police and the Zonal Officer are used in transmitting urgent
messages. A list of generators available in the respective Taluk should be kept in
the Taluk office and they should be utilised for lighting in the places where flood
and cyclone affected are accommodated.
49
The Tahsildar should keep enough petromax and Hurricane lights in the
camps as standby. Tahsildars should also assess the availability of Tarpauline
and other materials to set up temporary shelters during rescue operations.
The Village Administrative Officers and Firka Revenue Inspectors will be
held responsible for the communication of messages from village level to the
Taluk Office. For this purpose, the Village Administrative Officers and Revenue
Inspectors should make use of the nearby private Telephone and cell phones from
Industrial Units, Merchants etc., Such messages may also be passed through
wireless sets kept in the nearby police stations or Panchayat Union Offices.
Similarly in case of message about floods and cyclones, the Tahsildars should
immediately depute the Deputy Tahsildars and other staff to check up the
vulnerable points and to commence flood relief operations. The arrangements
made should be informed to the higher officials concerned without any delay. The
Taluk Tahsildars along with the Zonal Deputy Tahsildars and Firka Revenue
Inspectors should familiarise themselves with the disaster prone area. They
should have the list of schools and other public buildings details which can be
used as shelter places.

emergency or disaster. When an event arises, timely, accurate, clear, concise and
credible messages have a tremendous impact on how the public reacts during the
emergency, and their perception of the response or recovery efforts.
This Emergency Information Response Plan has been designed to aid the
jurisdiction in responding to an event that overwhelms our regular information
communication processes. It spells out the crucial first steps and formalizes the
organization’s procedures.
The goals of this Emergency Information Response Plan are to:
• rapidly provide access to timely, accurate, clear, consistent and
credible information to the public, media, employees and external
stakeholders;
• address, as quickly as possible, rumors, inaccuracies and
misperceptions;
• coordinate communication efforts with partner organizations;
• fulfill information requests from the public’s, media, municipal staff
and other interested or affected parties;
• eliminate or reduce public fear or inappropriate behavior; and
• Direct resident and business community action.
I have reviewed and approved the attached Emergency Information
Response Plan and hereby pronounce that this is the information plan to follow
during a major emergency or disaster.

Do’s and Don’ts of all possible hazards
A comprehensive list of do’s and don’ts for district
administration and nodal agencies, in handling the disasters and at
various other phases of disaster management will be provided. This list

common man in managing disasters.
Flooding: Dos and Don'ts Do Don't
Switch off all electrical and gas

Don't walk through flowing water -
currents can be deceptive, and shallow,
fast moving water can knock you off
your feet.
Take your emergency kit and try to let
your friends and family where you are
going.
Don't swim through fast flowing water
- you may get swept away or struck by
an object in the water.
Avoid contact with flood water - it may
be contaminated with sewage, oil,
chemicals or other substances.
Don't drive through a flooded area -
You may not be able to see abrupt
drop-offs and only half a metre of flood
water can carry a car away. Driving
through flood water can also cause
additional damage to nearby property.
If you have to walk in standing water,
use a pole or stick to ensure that you do
not step into deep water, open
manholes or ditches
Don’t return to your property until the
“All Clear” has been given.
Stay away from power lines - electrical
current can travel through water. Report
power lines that are down to the power
company
Don’t reconnect your power supply
until a qualified engineer has checked
it. Be alert for gas leaks - do not smoke
or use candles, lanterns, or open flames.
Never use TVs, VCRs, CRT terminals
or other electrical equipment while
standing on wet floors, especially
concrete.
Look before you step - after a flood, the
ground and floors are covered with debris,
which may nclude broken bottles, sharp
objects, nails etc. Floors and stairs covered
with mud and debris can be slippery.
Don’t eat any food that has come into
contact with flood water.

ABSTRACT
Natural Calamities- Flood Relief- Heavy rain and flood during March 2008- Enhancement of Relief assistance- orders- issued.
Revenue NC(III) Department
G.O.Ms.No.181 Dated:: 28.03.2008
Read::
1. G.O.(Ms) No.630 , Revenue (NC III) Dept., dt. 29.10.2007
2. Hon’ble Minister’s (Rural Development and Local Administration) announcement made
in the floor of Assembly on 26.03.2008
ORDER::-
The unprescedented heavy rain all over the State during March 2008 has
caused extensive damage to agricultural crops and cattle loss. This requires Relief and
Rehabilitation to the affected farmers and cattle owners. It is estimated that an extent of
47.257 hectares of paddy crops besides crops have been damaged and about 800 cattle have
died due to these heavy rains.
2. As per the existing norms of the Calamity Relief Fund, a sum of Rs.2000/-
per hectare is eligible as input subsidy for crop loss in rainfed areas, Rs.4000/- per hectare for
all types of crops in assured irrigation areas and Rs.6000/- per hectare for perennial crops.
Further, input subsidy is limited to a ceiling of 1 hectare per farmer and upto 2 hectares per
farmer in case of successive calamities for farmers other than small and marginal category.
Also, a family is entitled to a relief amount of Rs.10,000/- per milch animal ie.,
buffalo/cow/camel/yak, Rs.5000/- per calf and Rs.1000/- per sheep/goat. The relief payable for
the loss of cattle is restricted to one large milch animal or four small milch animals or 1 big
draught animal or 2 samll draught animals per household.
3. The Government have examined the issue. The present damage due to the
unprecedented summer rains is a special case and expecially the loss to the farmers is very
high, because, the rains have destroyed the crop at the harvest stage, when all the crop in
puts have already been put in. In this situation it is considered that the normal compensation/
relief provided for the damage to crop and for the loss of cattle will be inadequate when
compared to the total loss sustained by the farmers and hence this needs to be treated as a
special case. The Government have therefore, as a special case decided to enhance the relief
paid to the farmers for the damages of paddy crops and also to remove the ceiling on land
93
holding per farmer for relief purpose and also to remove the restriction on payment or relief for
the loss of cattle, on account of unseasonal heavy rain during the 3rd week of March 2008
4. The Government accordingly direct that for the loss of crop and cattle during
the heavy rains during March 2008
i) the relief paid for the damage of per hectare of paddy crop be enhanced from
Rs.4000/- to Rs.7000/-
ii) the enhanced rate of relief assistance of per hectare Rs.7,500/- to be paid for
damage to paddy crops; and as per CRF norms for all other crops shall be irrespective of the
size of holding l.e., the limitation of existing ceiling area be removed.
iii) the restriction on number of dead cattle /milch animal per house per house hold for
payment of relief be removed . As such, amount prescribed as per CRF norms on per animal
basis shall be disbursed without ceiling of number of animals per household.
5. The expenditure on account of the orders issued in paragraph 4 above will
be met from the calamity Relief fund initially.
6. The Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration is
authorized to draw and disburse the amount to the respective District Collectors as per the
existing procedure. The Special Commissioner and Commissioner of Revenue Administration
shall send the utilization certificate to the Accountant General/ Government and remit the
balance amount if any to the Government account.
7. The amount sanctioned above shall be debited to the following Head of Account.
