Disaster Response Plan

4

1. Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on

the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the

resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation

is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster

shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management

Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1

(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).

1.1. Level 0

L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,

documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the

planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put in

place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory update

for response activities will be carried out during this time.

1.2. Level 1

L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of

activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state

and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following

actions required to be taken during this level.

1.3. Level 2

L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation

of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian

needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external

assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the

engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level

resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level

resources.

2. Activation of Response The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early warning

or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan means setting

in motion command, coordination, and management of the situation. The activities

described in the following standard operating procedures (SOPs) are to be initiated

immediately to ensure that loss and damage are minimized. One SOP is in the case

where early warning is available, the other when there is no early warning, thus the

activation of the response depends on the type of the hazard and its impact.

2.1. Scenario 1 – With Early Warning

1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood

and cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency

Operation Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.

2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency

Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,

communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.

Maintain following;

- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats

- List of hospitals with their contact number

- Contact number of line department

- Call log register

3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the

disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that

warning information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the

Information Dissemination section).

4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-

division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and

resources to respond to the situation.

5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained

under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary

pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A

comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on

the warning, is then prepared.

6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,

encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in

the Incidence Response System.

3. Information Dissemination

3.1. Process

The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to

communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based on

the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the

specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the information

dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint District

Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the

early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the Village

Secretaries.

Emergency Warning & Information Dissemination

Early Warning System The availability of early warning system is a must before early warning message could be disseminate

to the people till the last mile. Thus for every type of disaster there is an agency designated with

the responsibility of keeping track of developments in respect of specific hazards and inform the

designated authorities/agencies at the district level about the impending disaster. Nodal agencies

for early warning of different natural hazards are:

Disaster Agency

Floods Central Water Commission (CWC)

Drought Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)

Heat & Cold Waves Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)

Cyclone Indian Meteorological Department

Information Dissemination

The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early

warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for

response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable

amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration

has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the

information.

1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given

below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural areas

DC JDCTehsildars/

MPDOsVillage Secretary

/ Panchayats

18

and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early warning

communication.

2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid

manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.

Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses without

any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District Collector

from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers identified for

information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk Voice SMS

service at very low cost.

3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,

Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the disaster.

4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading

warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in their

panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.

In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective

hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District

Collector to the community following the same process.

Information Dissemination Plan

Information Dissemination Plan for the District Administration

The contact details of all the POCs of Emergency Support Functions shall be

maintained by the DEOC. The communication shall be made with the permission of

RO (District Collector) to become available for District CMG meeting.

Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at low

cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as the

DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the previous

set numbers database.

Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise

awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the

Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing an

important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is

necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is

quickly widespread.

Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the

NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain

amount of villages/Mandalss.

4. District Emergency Operation Centre The role of the District Emergency Operation Centre during an emergency/disaster

response can be summarized in the activities detailed in the table below.

21

4.1. Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) during Response

Role of EOC during Emergency Response

1. On receipt of information (either from National or State Emergency Operation

Centres, early warning agencies, or field functionaries of sub-divisions or Mandlas),

the District Emergency Operation Centre has to be activated fully as per laid down

protocol.

2. The District Emergency Operation Centre issues then alerts/warnings to all

designated authorities at district, sub-division and Mandal level and elected

representatives at the panchayat level as per Information Dissemination previously

described. Depending on severity, the information may also be communicated to

following actors: Individuals/agencies.

a) District Collector, Nellore

b) Incidence Response Team

c) Line departments, Nellore

d) Members of the District Disaster Management Authority, Nellore

e) Health centers at the disaster site

f) District Emergency Operation Centre in nearby districts

g) State Emergency Operation Centre and State Disaster Management Authority

h) Member of Legislative Assembly and Member of Parliament of affected areas

3. The District Emergency Operation Centre send the FIR (as previously detailed) to

the State and National Emergency Operation Centres. Thereafter, daily reports are

sent till situation normalizes. Daily situation Report (Refer Annexure )

4. The District Emergency Operation Centre collects all relevant information and

appraises the status to designated decision making authorities.

5. The District Emergency Operation Centre is responsible to maintain all records and

documents such as call log, maintain records of information received from field as

well as various authorities related to the response.

6. Finally, the District Emergency Operation Centre constantly communicates with

any Mobile Emergency Operation Centre or similar and the Incident Commander as

per Incidence Response System.

In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the

stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Nellore

does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of the

measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority towards

disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational Disaster

Emergency Operation Centre.

5. First Information Report The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss

as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a

quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the

occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific format

in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on the

population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC). The FIR

can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then forwarded to

the DC.

6. District Crisis Management Group Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,

chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the

backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary

findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries

associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At

this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment

to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).

The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited

needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair

items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk

commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important to

bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on

logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer

number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and sometimes

the security environment.

7. Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment is critical for decision makers in order for

them to plan the emergency response in the most appropriate and effective manner.

It includes mobilizing resources and deploying responders in areas that need urgent

actions as needed to minimize/avoid loss of lives. The format of this assessment is

found in detail below.

9. Incident Response System The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the

phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up

approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers

prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required

resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary

agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback

to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.

The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district

administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of

this, the IRS for Nellore was agreed during the consultations performed on field and

officials were appointed for each position.

In order to easily understand the IRS of Nellore, following is the model IRS structure

as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management Authority. In

sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander, Information &

Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff encompasses

three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which being comprised

of various groups and units.

38

9.1. Nellore Incident Response System

The IRS of Nellore is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective officials in the

district holding each of them.

39

9.2. Command staff – major responsibilities

The main role of the command staff is the overall command and management of the

incident. The activities involving each position under the command staff are as

9.3. General staff – major responsibilities

Each one has a vital role for efficient response; however, depending upon the

nature and requirements of the incident, they may be or not be activated. Each

of these functional areas can also be expanded as needed into additional

organizational units with further delegation of authority.

Operations Section, Nellore

The Operations Section deals with all types of field level tactical operations

directly applicable to the management of an incident. This section is headed by

an Operation Section Chief. In addition, a deputy may be appointed to assist the

44

10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food, medical

services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore, government

should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the response. For

instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was decided that the

police would take up the task of rescue operations and the revenue and panchayat

administration would concentrate on providing medical assistance and relief. In this

sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in advance is of fundamental

importance.

At District Level:

There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The

Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by involving

officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like Labour

Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self Government and

PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire Services and Civil

Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, Nellore as it is the nucleus of all

disaster management activities.

At State Level:

The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA

and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists

keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.

- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the

SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.

- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State

needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,

SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the

various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be

constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.

- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.

- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.

Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more professional

human resources for its day to day working.

- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation Fund

in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds

At National Level:

45

The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national level

should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis

Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that the

National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of

Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management

Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as

the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help

in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF should

be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that the NEC

meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all programs

related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster Management

Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In accordance with

section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek advice from the

Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster management and

having practical experience of disaster management at the national, state or district

level on various aspects of disaster management. In addition, subject specific Sub-

Committees may be constituted to look into the different aspects of disaster

management in respect of the specific disasters, helping preparation of action plan

and monitoring of gaps in implementation.

10.1. General Guidelines

Stakeholders

Private provisions should be considered and arranged accordingly. E.g. after the

Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, Mother Dairy was requested to supply milk.

Activities by NGOs should be coordinated with and facilitated by the local

government. NGOs have the expertise and may help in different areas such as

truckloads with certain provisions (like mineral water; milk powder, tea and coffee;

blankets and shelter materials; and generator and diesel) and medical care.

Control Room, Nellore

Control rooms should start functioning in different places according to pre-

established infrastructure in the district and to the severity of the disaster. These

places may involve the fire brigade, the municipal corporation, police station, or

other places.

Satellite telephone should be operative and in place in the district and state control

rooms, and backed by the police wireless as well.

A wireless set should be installed in the district Collector’s office to communicate

with the police control room.

46

If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the

control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a

temporary control room set up in the open.

Response Equipments

Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as bulldozers,

cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery), trucks, and

Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources that are

available.

Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil

contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of

Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.

Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue

operations.

Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting the

necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves affected and

if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.

The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.

Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil

and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation

department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.

If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex problem

of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of heavy

equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.

Rescue Teams, Nellore

In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room, desperately

asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able to respond

providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource to meet the

needs.

Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –

usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important

that the district coordinate accordingly.

The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue

operations. This topic is detailed below.

Medical Services, Nellore

47

A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the

disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get

overwhelmed.

Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief

activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief

District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.

The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and according

to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat, 2001, the

decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the hospital. Four

days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the hospital was made

functional with all the necessary equipment.

Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to

possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who

arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,

equipment and food.

The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical

supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and

supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).

In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance

should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National

Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.

Relief

An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary

shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this

season is severe in the affected areas.

These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.

56

The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been

severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to sleep

outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of tents and

other temporary sheds within a short time.

Restoration of Basic Infrastructure

The power system is prone to fail due to a strong disaster. If this is the case,

generator sets may be procured for lighting (especially the medical camp).

One should keep in mind that if there is no electricity, or a shortage of, important

buildings and shops may not be operative, such as petrol/diesel outlets.

After the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, the Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB) deployed

220 engineers and skilled staff in the affected areas for restoration of the power

supply. By 5 February 2001, i.e., 10 days after the earthquake, 80 per cent of the

services were restored.

The water supply may also be restored in case it gets damaged. Measure to supply

water such as through tankers and repair of pipelines should be undertaken

immediately.

10.2. Coordination with State and National Levels

To illustrate the coordination between district and state with the national

government, few examples of how the response programme was handled in the

context of Gujarat after the earthquake in 2011 are provided below:

The Gujarat state government was in constant touch with the Government of India,

right from the beginning.

The armed forces organized large-scale rescue efforts, including 8 engineering

regiments, 36 columns, 48 IAF aircrafts/helicopters and 953 sorties.

The Border Security Force (BSF), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Rapid

Action Force (RAF) participated in a big way. Over 5,000 trucks, cranes, bulldozers

and gas cutters etc., were mobilized for the rescue efforts.

In the evening of the day the earthquake hit, Engineers from the Department of

Telecommunications (DOT) with satellite phones and India Meteorological

Department (IMD) officials with seismographic equipment went to Bhuj

accompanying the Additional Central Relief Commissioner and a team of 30 doctors

with medical equipment and medicine.

The Air Force pressed into service six IL-76, 18 AN-32, four Avros, four Dorniers and

16 helicopters. They made 953 sorties, carrying relief materials, tents, equipment,

food items, rescue teams and injured persons.

11. Media Management The coordination between the District Administration and media has to be

maintained both during and after a disaster. During the response phase it is

especially important as it helps to ensure that communities and people in the district

are better aware about the situation and interventions being made by the

administration. The following will be performed by the Information and Media

Officer as per responsibilities described in the IRS section:

Organize media briefing by senior officer in-charge.

Provide graphic and statistical details to the extent possible.

Organize visits to shelters, relief and various activity camps.

Organize briefing on daily basis towards the end of the day.

Facilitate media personnel in their interaction with other emergency functionaries,

if possible.

Prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and

others

with the approval of IC;

Jot down decisions taken and directions issued in case of sudden disasters when the

IMT has not been fully activated and hand it over to the PS on its activation for

incorporation in the IAP;

Ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and

workload;

Monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be useful

for incident planning;

Organise IAP meetings as directed by the IC or when required;

Coordinate with IMD to collect weather information and disseminate it to all

concerned;

Maintain record of various activities performed and

Perform such other duties as assigned by IC.

12. Government-NGO Coordination The role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) is crucial during all phases of

disaster management and such involvement is emphasized in the Disaster

Management Act, 2005. When it comes to disaster response, the District Disaster

Management Authority may invite NGOs to participate in the coordination and

follow-up meetings, in order to ensure that their work will be aligned with the

59

priority actions and that it will reach all affected people/areas. In general, the role

of NGOs and the coordination between government and NGOs is detailed below1.

Early Warning

The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for

communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done

through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the local

administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.

Search and Rescue

Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities

are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them to

undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and skilled

personnel.

First Aid

In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the medical

care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or health

centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share with the

district administration/response teams information about the most vulnerable

groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.

Shelter and Relief Camp

NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief

camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.

Relief Distribution

As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the

coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and

systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this

regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by deploying

volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district

administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

Coordination In the initial phase of the relief

distribution process there has to be a

differentiation of roles and

responsibilities between the involved

stakeholders, which is also required in

order to identify the potential for

collaboration and coordination among

the government institutions and

NGO's. This is essential for the

implementation of the relief

mechanism in the district and to

communicate the plan with the local

population and local authority. It will

also help to identify the potential to

manage the relief, which comes from

the donors: e.g. Adequate and

effective plan for managing the huge

quantities of relief which will come

from the donors.

The cultural factors that should be

considered are as follows: e.g.

religious restrictions regarding food

that can be consumed; clothes of

women and men, and any other

culture consideration.

to be considered as well, such as: e.g.

The need of enough protection for the

disaster affected population (e.g. for

young girl and woman) the need of

sufficient protection for relief

materials and goods distributed and

the potential to minimise the loss of

them during transition, and the safety

Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan

71

Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan

1. From Response to Recovery According to the terminology by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk

Reduction (UNISDR), while response is the ‘provision of emergency services and

public assistance during or immediately after a disaster’2, the ‘division between the

response stage and the subsequent recovery stage is not clear-cut’. Some activities

start during the response stage and go beyond to the relief one. Additionally, stating

when the response has finished is more related to certain conditions met, rather

than how much time has passed since it started. Some measures help to indicate

when the district is moving towards the recovery3:

• life-saving efforts, such as Search and Rescue, are nearing completion;

• emergency social services and mass care are established (health, shelter, food and

water) in the impact area;

• initial assessment of damage complete for critical infrastructure including roads,

railways, airports, buildings and systems;

• services restored to essential critical infrastructure;

• establishment of staging areas with movement of relief supplies, response personnel

and other critical resources and goods into the impact area;

• Planning for recovery underway and key elements are ready to or are activated; etc.

The recovery stage encompasses the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the

district and ‘should be based on pre-existing strategies and policies that facilitate

clear institutional responsibilities for recovery action and enable public

participation’4. The importance of the recovery lies in the valuable opportunity that

it holds for building back better or, in other words, implementing measures to

reduce the disaster risk to lower levels than previously. In view of this, the recovery

is ‘the restoration, and improvement where appropriate, of facilities, livelihoods

and living conditions of disaster-affected communities’.

2 Terminology, UNISDR. Available at <https://www.unisdr.org/we/inform/terminology> 3 Province of British Columbia, B.C. Earthquake Immediate Response Plan. Available at <http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/public-safety-and-emergency-services/emergency-preparedness-response-recovery/provincial-emergency-planning/irp.pdf> 4 Terminology, UNISDR. Available at <https://www.unisdr.org/we/inform/terminology>

72

The Recovery Plan is, therefore, focused on building back better by putting in place

a coordination mechanism for the activities that need to be performed from over a

short-term to medium/long-term recovery period.

2. Detailed Damage and Loss Assessment Damage and Loss assessment is a critical component to identify what is the

extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy. This component lays

the foundation for the complete reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery

phase.

3. Standard Operating Procedures for Recovery Department Actions

4. Immediate Recovery The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify what

is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the district. This

component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the recovery stage (see

the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).

The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending upon

the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary to

overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss

Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and

external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for

78

the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and activities

to be performed.

Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the

district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are

related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation

facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of

them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase of

immediate recovery.

4.1. Infrastructure recovery

This element represents the restoration of utility and critical services within the

district.

Water supply

For affected habitation in rural areas, Public Health Engineering Department has to

work to restore water supply units that were identified as dysfunctional during the

Damage and Loss Assessment exercise.

Power

The Energy Department have to restore the power lines in areas where damage was

reported. The restoration of critical buildings such as hospitals, health centers and

administrative buildings is to be prioritized. Meanwhile these buildings are under

repair, generator sets should be made available.

Telecommunication

Disrupted lines of telecommunication links have to be repaired on highest priority by

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and other private telecom agencies to restore

the connectivity of the district/area affected.

Critical lifeline buildings

Lifeline buildings are those necessary to keep the administrative machinery or any

emergency centres functioning during a disaster and despite the damages inflicted by

it. Hospitals, schools, Anganwadi centres, offices of line departments and district

administration are examples of critical lifeline buildings and that should be

retrofitted or reconstructed after throughout assessment.

Roads and bridges

The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National

Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair

and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are

appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to

79

health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and

outposts, etc.

Households

It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are

vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that

measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or

reconstruction.

Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design

houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative

costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.

Disaster resilient construction

The District Disaster Management may constitute a committee to ensure that

technical requirements for disaster resilient housing are met during the

reconstruction. This committee would assist the multi-hazard resilient design,

monitor the process of reconstruction, and ensure that disaster resilient techniques

are incorporated in various schemes and development projects. Funds under schemes

such as Indira AwaasYojana and Housing Schemes for Scheduled Castes and Denotified

Tribes can be used for reconstruction.

4.2. Social recovery

The social recovery is paramount as it deals directly with the lives of those affected

by the disaster. Their needs should be recognized and measures undertaken

accordingly. Bringing normalcy to their lives is required for engaging them in the

process of building back better.

Temporary shelter

The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the

immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per

Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for

those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have

to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is

undertaken.

Psychosocial support

Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district

for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who

faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable

groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma

80

at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for

the same.

Physical health

First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health

care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be

installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may

be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.

Animal health

Injuries and diseases to animals must be addressed through necessary veterinary

support at the village or panchayat level.

Financial support

The Department of Social Welfare shall release the money of life insurance and others

according to state and national social welfare schemes.

Peace meetings

In case of any violence in the region, peace meetings have to be organized by the

Police Department and the District Collector along with leaders of estranged

communities to diffuse tensions.

4.3. Economic recovery

The recovery of economic dimension is fundamental for the success of the entire

recovery stage as it brings sustainability for the programme and closely supports the

principle of build back better by reviving the local economy.

Risk transfer

Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early

recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their

immediate expenditures and necessities.

Wage employment

This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give

access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief supplies

generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide temporary wages

while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their long-term recovery.

Banking operations

81

Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period

disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS

work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.

Relocation

When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should

be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,

agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable

conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.

5. Long-term Recovery Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as

livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,

reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as

well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and

there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the long-

term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and

economic.

5.1. Infrastructure and environmental recovery

Strengthening and retrofitting

This shall be executed during this phase for all the critical lifeline buildings on priority

by the PWD – Building department, besides that for canals and embankments by Canal

(Irrigation dept) and WRD, respectively. These works for schools shall be undertaken

by Building Construction Division of Education Department.

Repair and reconstruction

Roads and bridges

The execution shall be undertaken and monitored by the NHAI and the PWD – Roads

(State & Rural) as per the execution plan defined during the first segment of recovery

phase.

Housing

Development of permanent housing solution for victims happens during this period

under National Housing Scheme (IAY & RAY). Additionally, housing solutions may be

provided in cooperation and financial support of external agencies such as NGOs,

Corporate Social Responsibility department of private companies, etc. The planning

82

and execution has to involve the local community through consultations and

assessments while empowering them.

Regeneration of biodiversity

Afforestation initiatives have to be undertaken by Soil Conservation, Forest and P&RD

in affected areas to regenerate forests and biodiversity.

Treatment of wetlands

Natural wetlands (rivers, streams) have to be cleared of debris and sediment deposits

to restore the aquatic biodiversity of the region, including fishes and plants.

5.2. Social and economic recovery

Rehabilitation

During this phase, families placed in temporary shelters due to damage or

destruction of their houses or erosion of their land has to be smoothly rehabilitated

through requisite infrastructure recovery interventions. Efforts shall be made to

rehabilitate these families to locations at least close to the original habitations to

keep them in proximity of pre-disaster communities and land.

Education

Schools have to be made operational in the shortest span through the post-disaster

period.

Wage employment

The focus on providing wage employment through MGNREGS should be continued

with greater vigour for the affected parts of the district so as to provide economic

recovery while original livelihoods such as agriculture outputs are restored to

normalcy.

Livelihoods

Work towards strengthening livelihoods to be more economically and

environmentally sustainable, as well as more resilient to future disasters. In this

long-term recovery effort, focus is on livelihoods diversification, creation of

alternative income generating activities, providing financial services such as loans

and insurance, and strengthening forward linkages with markets for existing and new

livelihoods.

Credit

This shall be done by formation of self-help groups (SHGs) for affected communities

so as to support in buying or rebuilding assets such as domestic animals, farm

equipments, craft equipments and others by providing microcredit. This is critical

to reduce the dependency of the population in the district administration for

support.

83

Micro insurance

Increase of the coverage of micro insurance in order to include more farmers and

livestock owners and their productive lands/livestock to ensure risk transfer benefits

in case of damages from any future disasters.

Disaster resilient livelihoods

Agriculture is the mainstay of the district while it is one of those vulnerable to

natural hazards. Alternative livelihoods such as crafts, sericulture and plantation of

Khus (Vetiver) for its oil production with a processing industry may be sought by the

district.

Agronomic rehabilitation

The district administration has to ensure that soil testing labs research and

formulate necessary steps required for agronomic rehabilitation and may coordinate

with NGOs working in this field to channelize their support. Additionally, it is

paramount to suggest cropping patterns, suitable compositions of fertilizers,

pesticide, etc, depending upon the changes in soil due to the disaster and develop

a model of rehabilitation of the same.

Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes

should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some activities

to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided by schemes

under the Welfare Department are given below:

- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;

- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through

computer training;

- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised sector

through private institutions;

- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-

oriented institutions/ training programme;

- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used

for livelihood generation.

The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and

Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by

providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and Dairying

Department can be used for the same:

- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing

livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);

84

- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area

through dairy development;

- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy

units;schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.

- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk

Reduction (DRR) Plan.

85

6. Holistic Recovery Process The District Disaster Management Authority of Nellore should formulate the

necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned

parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction

and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only

monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to better

utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be noted that

external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or may not be

completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the Disaster

Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process and has to

ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and constant

monitoring of the progress and reporting.

During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do not

get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is necessary to

define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal as per the

situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should be

incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected community

in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring sustainable

development of the community and the district as a whole.

6.1. Phases

6.2. Community Participation

When it comes to community participation, specific arrangements at the village

level should be designed – in the case of Gujarat Earthquake 2001, Gram

Short-Term

• Debris removal, temporary shelter, initiation of repair and reconstruction (part of the response stage)

Medium-Term

• Repair and reconstruction (houses, public infrastructure, social infrastructure), awareness programs, disaster risk reduction and mitigation

Long-Term

• Further capacity building of disaster management authorities, long-term measures for disaster risk reduction and mitigation

86

NavrachnaSamitis were created. The Gram NavrachnaSamiti has one chairman,

which may be the District Collector, and its members are comprised of

representative from different groups (Sarpanch, a former Sarpanch, a woman

member, a member from backward castes, a member from a minority community,

the headmaster of the primary school and a representative of an NGO). The idea of

the mandal is to ensure the representation of all segments of the community in the

decisions related to the design, building material and construction technology, as it

is responsible for the overall supervision of the reconstruction programme.
