Description
This is a presentation describes the salient features of disaster management policy of government. It also explains the disaster response arrangements in the states.
Disaster management in India
Why?
?
?
?
Climate change is likely to be perceived through experience of extreme weather events Therefore, response to climate change will perhaps happen through adaptation to climate hazards Important to characterize the institutional mechanisms and structures in place for responding to natural (and climaterelated) disasters
2
Mortality due to natural hazards 1990 - 2000
3
Average annual impacts from natural hazards
?
?
?
Mortality: 3600 Crop area: 1.42 million hectares Property (houses): 2.36 million dwellings
4
Exposure to natural hazards
? ? ?
?
?
40 million hectares flood prone (5% of area) 54% area exposed to seismic activity East coast of India and Gujarat (West coast) exposed to cyclone risk A preliminary assessment of exposure to major hazard categories has been done in 1996-1998 (as a part of IDNDR) by the Building Materials Technology Promotion Council of the Ministry of Urban Development.

GOI Departments for Disaster Response
Armed Forces-Ministry of Defence ? Central Para Military ForcesMinistry of Home Affairs ? International Response- Ministry of External Affairs

Ministries/Departments:
Rural Development, Drinking Water Supply Power, Telecom , Health, Urban Development Food & Public Distribution, Shipping Surface Transport, Railways, Civil Aviation Women & Child Development Water Resources, Animal Husbandry India Meteorological Department(IMD)

DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICYSALIENT FEATURES
*
*
Recognition of linkages between natural disasters and development
Connecting of specific programmes like
DPAP, DDP, NWDPRA and Wasteland
Development Programme for managing natural disasters * Emphasis on forecasting and warning using advanced technology
15
CENTRAL SECTOR SCHEME FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT - SALIENT FEATURES
* * * *
* *
Human resource Development Setting up of National Centre for Disaster Management (NCDM) Setting up of Disaster Management Faculties in States Programmes for Community Participation and Public Awareness Observing National Disaster Reduction Day Activities to achieve the goals and objectives of IDNDR/ISDR
16
External Assistance -Policy
? ?
?
?
No formal appeal for external assistance made for relief External assistance,if offered as solidarity accepted with gratitude Gujarat earthquake- international response overwhelming Bi-lateral agreements suggested by some countries for emergency response
17
DISASTER RESPONSE ARRANGEMENTS IN THE STATES
? ?
STATE CABINET
STATES CRISIS MANAGEMENT GROUP: HEADED BY CHIEF SECRETARY. INSTITUTION OF RELIEF COMMISSIONERS IN STATES STATES/DISTRICTS CONTINGENCY PLAN S / RELIEF CODES.
18
? ?
Example: AP cyclone hazard mitigation project outcomes
? ?
?
Hazard mitigation studies (international consultants) IMD early warning capacity through Doppler radar Infrastructure creation and restoration
? ? ?
?
Floods – drains & embankments Road restoration Storm shelters Electricity transmission and distribution
?
What about system / process capabilities?
19
Observations
? ? ? ?
Recognition of linkage between natural hazards and development Connecting developmental programs (DPAP, NWDB) to disaster management Forecasting and warning (technology use) Contingency planning
? ?
Foodgrain availability Preparedness
? ?
Adaptive capacity by creating a management system However, focus still on relief; recovery and adaptive capacity not thought through
20
Underlying questions
?
How can we evaluate the portfolio of disaster management projects to:
?
?
Assess implications of climate change for project benefits? Assess implications of project for reducing vulnerability to climate change? How can we incrementally adjust project design or implementation to enhance climate change related benefits?
?
