As a part of the overall preparedness of the state,
the Government of Maharashtra has a State Disaster Management Action Plan
to support and strengthen the efforts of the district administration. In
this context, every district has evolved it's own District Disaster Management
Action Plan (DDMAP). It is expected that these multi-hazard response plans
would increase the effectiveness of administrative intervention.
Multi-disaster Response Plan
The DDMAP addresses the districts’ response to
disaster situations such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, epidemics, off-site
industrial disasters and roads accidents and fires. Some of these disasters
such as floods and earthquakes affect large areas causing extensive damage
to life, property and environment while others such as epidemics only affect
large populations. In any case, the management of these disasters requires
extensive resources and manpower for containment by remedial action.
The present plan is a multi-hazard response plan for the
disasters and outlines the institutional framework required for managing
such situations. However, the plan assumes a disaster specific form in
terms of the actions to be taken by the various agencies involved in the
disaster. The front-end or local level of any disaster response organisation
will differ depending upon the type of disaster, but at the level of the
back-end i.e., at the controlling level at the district it will almost
remain same, for all types of disasters.
Objectives
The objectives of the District Disaster Management Action
Plan are :
•
To improve preparedness at the district
level, through risk and vulnerability analysis , to disasters and
to minimise the impact of disasters in terms of human, physical and
material loss.
•
To ascertain the status of existing resources
and facilities available with the various agencies involved in the
management of disasters in the district and make it an exercise in
capability building of district administration. This enables the district
to face a disaster in a more effective way and builds confidence across
different segments of society. It will be a positive factor for long
term development of the district.
•
To utilise different aspects of disaster mitigation
for development planning as a tool for location and area specific
planning for development in the district.
•
To use scientific and technological advances in Remote
Sensing, GIS etc. in preparation of this plan with a veiw to ensure
their continuous use for development planning.
•
To develop a framework for proper documentation of future
disasters in the district, to have an update on critical information
essential to a plan, to critically analyse and appraise responses
and to recommend appropriate strategies
•
To evolve DDMAP as an effective managerial tool within
the overall policy framework of Government of Maharashtra.
Response to disasters, in the absence of a defined plan, would
be arbitrary leading to overemphasis of some actions and absence of other
actions which could be critical. The objectives of any disaster management
plan should be to localise a disaster and to the maximum extent possible
contain it so as to minimise the impact on life, the environment and property.
A formal plan for managing disasters is therefore necessary. This would
include
a.
pre-planning a proper sequence of response
actions,
b.
allocation of responsibilities to the participating
agencies,
c.
developing codes and standard operating procedures for
various departments and relief agencies involved.
d.
inventory of existing facilities and resources
e.
mechanisms for effective management of resources
f.
co-ordination of all relief activities including those
of NGOs to ensure a coordinated and effective response.
g.
Co-ordination with the State response machinery for
appropriate support
h.
Monitoring and evaluation of actions taken during relief
and rehabilitation
"Outline of Vulnerability Assessment" prepared by
CSSD/EMC has been used as the basic instrument to collate district level
information to meet the database requirements for the preparation of DDMAP.
Policy Statement
The underlying policy of the DDMAP is to protect life, environment
and property while ensuring mitigation of the disaster to the maximum extent
possible, relief to those affected and restoration of normalcy at the earliest.
Essentially, communities draw their support from the social
institutions, administrative structure, and values and aspirations they
cherish. Disasters may temporarily disorganise the social units 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 course with necessary technology support and resources will contribute
significantly to the resilience of the community and nation.
This policy forms the basis of the DDMAP strategy. It aims
at capacity building and prompt utilization of resources in a disaster situation
through a partnership of the GOM, NGOs, Private Initiatives and the community.
In pursuance with this policy, DDMAP addresses itself to strengthening the
pre-disaster and post-disaster responses of various actors and stakeholders
including the “victims” of the disaster.

Talukas such as Panhala, Shahuwadi, Gagan Bawada, Radhanagari, Ajara and
Chandgad are covered by Sahyadri mountain and Eastern Talukas namely, Shirol,
Hatkanangale, Karveer and Kagal are situated on plain and Fertile part of
rivers namely, Panchaganga, Warana, Doodhganga, Krishna and Vedganga.
Kolhapur District is mainly Sugarcane, Paddy growing District.
It is mainly Kharif District. Sugarcane is grown in all Talukas. Whereas,
Paddy is grown in Western Talukas where rainfall is heavy. In Eastern Talukas,
Paddy is an Irrigated Crop. In addition, Jawar, Groundnut, Soyabean crops
are taken in Kharif Season in Shirol, Hatkanangale, Karveer Talukas. Eastern
Talukas namely, Shirol, Hatkanangale, Karveer and Kagal are having Black
Fertile Soil.

delineated adjoining the western boundary of the district. Deciduous forest
also occurs in large patches in the western part of the district. Degraded
forest is found intermittently in smaller patches.
Land with or without scrub is observed to occur in large patches
all over the district. Around the urban sprawl of Kolhapur city, a large
patch of this category has been delineated indicating occupancy of the land
for non agricultural purposes owing to the population pressure and industrialization.
A large patch of barren rocky/stony waste land is delineated on the border
of Chandgad and Ajra tahsils besides some smaller patches in Radhanagari

Geology and Geomorphology
Geology
In Kolhapur district various geological
formations occur, amongst which the Deccan Trap lava flows are prominent
and cover nearly 95% area of the district.
The Deccan Traps are underlain by Kaladgis of Precambrian
age and occur along the southern parts of the district.
In the south west corner of the district granite gneisses
are observed which are the oldest rocks.
The traps are overlain by alluvial deposits along the major
rivers of the district. There are laetrile caps developed over the Deccan
Traps at many places along the Western Ghats.
The stratigraphical sequence of the various geological formations
occurring in the district is given below:
Formation
Age
Lithology
Alluvium
Recent
Clay, silt and sand
Laterites

Deccan Trap
Eocene to Upper Cretaceous
Basaltic lava flow of Amygdular and
massive nature often separated by red boles.
Kaladgis
Precambrian
Quartzite and limestone
Dharwar
Archaean
Gneisses & schist
The various geological formations occurring in the district
have been discussed below in detail.
Dharwar:- In the SE corner of the
district the oldest formations belonging to Dharwar groups are exposed,
which consists of gneisses and schists.
Kaladgis:- The Kaladgis are the
oldest geological formations occurring in the district anc are exposed along
southern boundary of Kolhapur district. The Kaladgis consists of quartzite
and limestone.
Deccan Traps:- The Deccan Trap lava
flows of Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age is the major geological formation
of the district. The Deccan Traps are composed of basaltic lava flows. The
lava flows are pilling over one another. The individual lava flows generally
consists of two distinct unit. The upper layer consists of vesicular traps
while the bottom layer consists of massive trap. The vesicular trap is called
as zeolitic trap, as the vesicles are filled with zeolites and other secondary
minerals like quartz and calcite. Two flows are generally separated by thick
red clay called as red bole. The lava flows have varying thickness.
Laterites:- Laterite capping is
observed along the western boundary of the district. The laterite caps are
developed over the trappean have flows. Laterite formation cover range part
of the district.
Alluvium:- The major rivers of the
district which are Panchganga and Krishna have deposited alluvium along
the banks. The alluvium consists of clay, still and sand. The alluvium has
a significant speed in the northeastern part of the district. The thickness
of alluvium varies between 6 to 20 meters.
Lineaments:- The fractures i.e.
weaker zones developed in the various formations have been identified on
the imagery in the form of lineaments. The lineaments are trending in different
directions. The conspicuous lineaments directions are NW-SE, N-S and NE-SW.
Geomorphology
The different geological formations of the district exhibit
varied landforms. The conspicuous one are the dissected plateau developed
on the Deccan Traps, which occupy 90% of the district area. The landforms
observed in the district have been divided in three groups depending upon
the origin of the landforms. The various landforms observed in the district
are described below in detail.
Valley Fill:- The rivers Varna and
Krishna have deposited alluvium along its course, which forms the valley
fill The alluvium is restricted to river course only and does not extend
for a long distance across the river. The alluvium consists of clay, still
and sand and forms the potential zone for groundwater development. The agriculture
is the principle land use of the area.
Structural Origin
Highly Dissected Plateau (HDP):- The western part of the district
is occupied by the steep slopping Sanhyadri hill range which has been classified
as highly dissected plateau. The area is covered by basaltic lava flows
and has thin soil cover. The drainage density is very high. This zone therefore
acts as a run-off-zone. Large areas of Chandgad, Ajra, Bhudargad, Radhanagari,
Gagan Bawade, Shahuwadi and Panhala tahsils is occupied by the highly dissected
plateau. Forest vegetation is the principal land use of this zone.
Moderately Dissected Plateau (MDP):- The middle reaches of
the district forms the moderately dissected plateau. This zone is also covered
by basaltic lava flows. The area has a moderate slope with moderate weathered
mantle. The drainage density is also moderate. This zone therefore acts
as a recharge zone. Agriculture is the principal land us of this unit and
is mostly dominated by single crops. This zone also occupies major part
of the district covering Chandgad, Shiroli, Kagal, Kolhapur, Hatkanangale,
Panhala and Budargadh tahsils of the district.
Slightly Dissected Plateau( SDP):- The lower reaches which
has a gentle slope and lying in the valley forms the slightly dissected
plateau (SDP). This zone is also covered with basaltic lava flows, which
has a good weathered mantle and thick soil cover. The drainage density is
also very low. This zone therefore forms the storage zone. Agriculture is
the principal land use of the area and is mostly under double crop. A very
small part of the district is covered by slightly dissected plateau and
covers area of Shirol and Hatkanangale tahsil.
Structural Plateau:- The flat topped trappean hills occurring
on the western border of the district have been classified as structural
plateau. The structural plateau has a good soil cover at the top, however,
it has sleep side slopes and therefore forms the run off zone.
Plateau Tops:- The large flat topped hills lying over the
highly dissected plateau have been classified as plateau tops. The plateau
tops are occurring along the SW boundary. It has a tabled land with good
soil cover and sleep side slope. This unit also forms the run off zone.
Denudational Origin
Denudation Hill and Residual Hills:- The trappean hills which
are the relics of the denudational process have been classified as denudational
hill or residual hills. The residual hills are very small and have conical
shape. They have steep slopes and therefore unsuitable for cultivation and
also form the run-off zone.
Pediments and Pediplains Over Dharwars:- A very small area
exposed with older metamorphic rocks and occurring on the SW corner of the
district has been classified as pediments or pediplains which has a moderate
slope and a very shallow weathered mantle. This unit forms the recharge
zone.
Mesa and Butte:- Very small, flat topped, trappean hills which
are also the relics of erosional process have been classified as mesa and
butte. These hills also have steep side slopes and therefore form the run-off
zone.
River Systems and Dams
Rivers
The general slope of the district is towards east and hence
all the rivers of the district are west to east flowing.
Krishna, Warna, Panchganga, Dudhganga, Vedganga, Hiranyakshi
and Ghatprabha are the important rivers of the district.
Warna river forms almost the entire northern boundary separating
Sangli and Kolhapur districts. It finally merges with Krishna river in Shirol
tahsil. Warna is the main tributary of Krishna river in the district.
Dudhganga is an important river in the northern part of the
district. Vedganga is one of its tributaries.
The drainage pattern exhibited in the district is dendritic.
The entire district is covered under one river basin namely,
the Krishna river basin.
The basin is further divided into 39 watersheds, each covering
an area of about 150 to 200 sq.km.
Dams
Radhanagari and Tulsi on the Panchganga and Tulsi rivers respectively
are the two major reservoirs in the district.

V. Principal Activity : -
1. Paper Making :-
This is a Bagasse based 20 TPO paper unit producing writing
/ printing grades of paper. The material mixed is 80 % bleached Bagasse
pulp and 20 % imported long fibered pulp. Bagasse is initially cooked in
directly steam heated rotary spherical digesters with Caustic Soda as a
cooking chemical. After six hours of cooking period, the Bagasse is converted
into pulp. This pulp is washed and bleached with gaseous Chlorine. This
bleached pulp to the extent of 80 % is blended with 20 % imported pulp and
the paper is made on the machine.
2. Production of Industrial Alchohol out of Molasses :
Manufacturing process of Ethyl Alchohol :- (Industrial Alchohol)
(323. 1959)
Process Description ( Based on Bio - Stil continuous fermentation
Technology )
Diluted Molasses containing 10 - 12 % sugar is fed continuously
to the single fermenter and it is fermented with the help of S. pombe strain.
Ethanol concentration is maintained at 6 % to 7 % and temperature of fermenting
work is controlled within the range of 33° C to 34° C with the help
of PHE circulating cooled water. Weak Beer 65 % to 70 % highly dissolved
solids to restrict foreign Bacteria from the distillation column from 9th
plate is tapped and it is recirculated as a weak Beer to the fermenter to
the tune of 65 % to 70 % of the wash fed to the column which reduces effluent
quantity substantially and it is around 7 to 8 litres of alcohol production.
The distillation system consists of :- 1. Wash Column, 2.
Rectification Column, 3. Aldehyde Column, & 4. Exhaust Column. The steam
is applied at the bottom of wash column and fermented wash containing 6%
to 7% alcohol is fed continuously at the top plate of the column. The Ethanol
containing 40% W/W is tapped at the 18th plate of wash column and fed to
the Rectification column for further rectification of Ethanol and finally
it is tapped 42nd or 43rd plate and after cooling, it is sent to the Spirit
Receiver. The final product is Rectified Spirit ( Ethyl Alcohol ) is having
95% V/V alcohol concentration and it is stored in M. S. Storage Tanks. The
total storage capacity in warehouse is 17.5 lakh litres.
In the Aldehyde column heads, from top of the wash columns
are separately concentrated and tapped on second grade alcohol.
During the distillation of Rectified Spirit the higher alcohol
in fusel oil is separated at the bottom plate 5th to 10th number, respectively
and it is tapped separately. The percentage of this fusel oil is in the
range of 0.01 to 0.1 %.
Cane sugar manufacturing process in brief :-
The harvested sugarcane brought from bullock carts and tractor
trailors weighed cut into small pieces by Levelers and Cutters taken to
Milling Tandem, where juice is extracted, strained and sent to the boiling
house for weighment. Hot water at 75 - 80° C is applied on the Last
and Pre-Last mill for maximum extraction of the juice and the resultant
Bagasse from the last mill is taken to the boilers for production of steam
for the process as well as generation of power from the Turbo sets.
The weighed juice is heated and taken to the Liming and Sulphutation
tank where milk of Lime and Sulphur Di-Oxide (302) produced by burning of
Sulphur is mixed, where juice is limed upto 8.5 to 9.0 pH. and Sulphated
upto 7.2 to 7.3 pH. This juice is again heated upto 101-103° C. in the
Juice Heaters and sent to Dorr for getting clearified juice which is sent
to Evaporators for removing 75 to 80 % of water from the juice.
Mud settled at the bottom at the Dorr Clearifier is taken
to the vacuum filters, washed with hot water (70 to 75°) and discharged,
which is sold to farmers as filter cake or Press Mud - Oliver washing called
Oliver Filters are taken again to the mixed juice receiving tank.
The concentrated juice received from the last body of the
evaporator called syrup is again sulphated to pH 5.0 and sent to the Pan
Station for crystallisation of sugar.
Sugar from the sulphated syrup is extracted by three boiling
systems, in batch or continuous vacuum pans. Sugar from ‘A’
boiling is crystallized & taken to the centrifugal machines and sugar
washed and dried is taken to the hoppers and graders, where S - 30 and M
- 30 grades are differentiated. Sugar bags are weighed to 100 Kg. and sent
to the godowns.
Sugar from ‘B’ Massecuite boiling and ‘C’
Massecuite boiling are molted and made Magma for getting superior quality
white sugar.
The exhausted Molasses from ‘C’ Massecuite machines
called final Molasses, whose sugar cannot be taken out economically by boiling
is weighed and stored in final Molasses steel tanks for manufacturing of
Industrial Alcohol.

Role of Divisional Commissioner
On the occurrence of disaster, the Divisional
Commissioner will
•
Provide for reinforcement of resources
from other districts within the division
•
Keep in constant touch with Chief Secretary, Relief
Commissioner, Emergency Operations Centre
Site Operations Centre and Relief Camps
Planning Assumptions
•
A small scale disaster can be managed through Collector’s
office without comprehensive desk arrangements at the DCR.
•
A Disaster affecting
• a number of villages
• doing considerable damage to housing
• spread geographically over a large area and
different locations
creates problems of management and logistics
Decentralisation of relief activities
will improve the efficiency of DCR. This will require organisation
of desk arrangements at the camp sites.
Site Operations Centre and location of
Relief Camps will ensure effective decentralisations and organisation
of relief activities.
Site Operations Centre
Depending on the nature of disaster and the type
of damage, it may be necessary to set-up a number of relief camps and/or
cattle camps.
•
In such a situation, the DDM may decide to set-up a
Site Operations Centre to reduce the pressure on DCR for field coordination.
•
Depending on the disaster locations and the number of camp sites,
the DDM may decide to set-up more than one Site Operations Centre.
•
The Site Operation Centre and the camps would be wound up after
the relief and rehabilitation work is called off or after the relief
camps and cattle camps are dismantled whichever is later.
•
The activities for the Site Operations Centre are given in Table
III.
•
The Site Operations Centre will be managed by Site Manager of the
rank of Sub-Divisional Officer/Deputy Collector.
It may be noted that a coordinating structure
of this type may have many areas of overlap with the DCR and therefore the
activities need not be duplicated. The basic functions of the Site Operations
Centre will be to facilitate communication and coordination between DCR
and the camp sites. A skeleton structure as given in Table II should be
able to perform these tasks.
Relief Camps
Relief Camps would be set-up preferably on settlement
lines and unless the disaster is a localised phenomenon, the DDM may decide
to set-up as many camps as the number of villages affected. Also the size
of the camp will be one of the considerations particularly in urban areas
to decide on the number. The administrative structure for such relief camps
responsible for direct service to “victims” is given in Table
III. Each relief camp will be assigned to a Camp Officer, of the rank of
Tahsildar. In some of the disasters, it may be necessary to set-up Feeding
centres only for the victims.
The DDM may agree to assign some such relief camps
or feeding centres to willing non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with
demonstrated capability and required manpower. However, such camps would
also come under coordinating mechanisms established through Site Operations
Centre/s or DCR.

Multi-district Disasters
In case of disasters which have an impact on more
than one district in a division the role of the Divisional Commissioner
comes into prominence . The Commissioner’s responsibilities shall
include exercising general supervision over the work of preparation of contingency
plan undertaken by the Collectors in his Division and also on the relief
and rehabilitation operations in those districts.
At the Divisional Commissioner’s
level all the state departments and agencies have a regional head. It is
very practical for the Divisional Commissioner to seek the support of these
regional heads towards the commitment of regional resources to a disaster
situation.
For a disaster in more than one district (within
or across the division), the role of Divisional Commissioner is to:
•
provide a unified command through inter-district
control room
seek the support of regional heads of line departments
for relief
•
Direct and Coordinate in response to requirements from
district control room the services of
• MSRTC
• State Government departments
• SRP, CRPF, Home Guards, Coast Guards, CPWD,
CISF
• Fire Brigade, Civil Defence
• TelecommunicationsTelecommunications
•
maintain a close liaison with the EOC
•
seek policy guidelines, if necessary
•
Mobilise services of Central/State government laboratories
and recognised research centres for specialised services
In such a situation, the Divisional Commissioner
will act
as the Additional Relief Commissioner for
the disaster area,
his powers will be analogous to that of Relief Commissioner
in the EOC
• will access funds from the State Government
for this purpose
• will be assisted by Deputy Commissioner, Revenue
in discharge of disaster management functions as is the normal practice.
• will receive the support of other Deputy Commissioners
and Assistant Commissioners and Line Department Heads.
[The district control rooms would continue to
function in their respective districts and perform all the functions as
per the DDMAP]
RESPONSE STRUCTURE
Planning Assumptions
The multi-disaster response plan takes a
generic approach to disaster situations to identify information requirements
along with communication, coordination, monitoring and institutional
arrangements.
The overall response structure remains constant irrespective
of the type of disaster.
The flow chart indicate the chain of command that should
be set in motion in order to manage the disaster.

provide firewood for disposal of dead bodies and carcassess.
The names and addresses of contractors with the
details of equipments,available with them.These contractors can help in
repairs of roads, bridges and buildings, construction of relief camps, clearance
of debris etc
Agricultural Department
The Wholesalers of Seeds , Fertilisers and Pest
Control in Kolhapur District are as under
Earthquakes have large spatial and temporal impacts.
Resource requirements are both intensive and extensive for management of
earthquakes, in terms of the number of agencies involved and the nature
of coordination required
Lead Agencies
The lead agencies involved in the management
of earthquakes are revenue, police, fire, and medical services
Due to extensive damage to infrastructure, the Telecommunication,
MSEB, MWSSB and Public Works Departments play an important role in
the management of this disaster
As a result of earthquakes, floods and epidemics can
also occur. Therefore stress is laid on measures taken to ensure coordination
with health and irrigation departments.
Nature of Damages
The impact of earthquakes differs for urban and
rural areas, primarily because of the nature of infrastructure, quality
of housing and occupational differences. In rural areas, it is primarily
the housing and physical structures (including irrigation infrastructure)
which may suffer extensive damage, without necessarily destroying the crops
In urban areas, in addition to housing and physical
infrastructures, it may also disturb the service infrastructure such as
water supply, sewage, telephones, electricity etc., which are essentially
underground installations and hence exposed to a direct impact
Possible Impacts
Effects on Individual
• Loss of Life
• Injuries demanding surgical needs
• Family disruption
Specific demands raised or required
• Orthopedic surgery and fractures needing treatment
• Individuals trapped under debris need to be located and
rescued which calls for not only earth moving equipments, but the
services of sniffer dogs.
• Expertise of fire brigade and defence services may be essential
in the rescue operations.
• In case of separation of family members information counters
play an important role
• In case of family disruption resulting from death of major
earner, economic rehabilitation of the family may have to be planned
as a long-term strategy.
• Loss of life, property and livestock may require damage
assessment procedures to avoid litigations and delays in gratuitous
relief and compensation.
Damage caused
• House
• Personal Belongings
• Livestock
Specific demands raised or required
• Partially damaged houses needs technical inspection
to decide the habitation worthiness and the extent of repairs required
• Certain partially damaged houses may require demolitions
• Transit arrangements may have to be identified when the
structure needs reconstruction
• Salvaging personal belongings from the debris needs clearance
from technical personnel to ensure safety of persons engaged
• As far as possible, family members only should be permitted
to salvage their individual family belongings
Damage to infrastructure resulting in disruption of
services
• Buildings
`
• Dams
• Bridges
• Road Surface and Rail Lines
• Power Stations
• Water pipelines and water tanks
• Sewer lines
• Underground Cables
Specific demands raised or required
• Care needs to be taken to ensure that all electrical supplies
to damaged area are disconnected promptly by MSEB
• Underground cables need thorough inspection before power
is restored
• Breaches or cracks in the dam need Irrigation Department
to secure the breaches or grouting the cracks
• In case of damage to bridges, relief operations may require
temporary bridges which can be put up with the assistance of army
• Certain roads needing resurfacing will need immediate action
from PWD
• MWSSB in consultations with health authorities should restore
existing water supply with necessary repairs. This may call for replacement
of pipelines or arrangements for storage in portable PVC water tanks
• In some cases, restoration of existing water supply may
be time-consuming and therefore water tankers may have to be pressed
into service
• Identification of nearby water sources and checking water’s
potability may also be required
• Damage to sewer lines is to be looked into. Alternate arrangements
by way of temporary latrines (technical details given on Pg. No )
may have to be constructed
• Extensive damage to residential buildings resulting in disruption
of telecommunication facilities requires provision/installation of
public telephones (PCO) to facilitate communication
• Damage to hospital, school buildings and other public facilities
may disrupt the services. In such a case restoration of services through
temporary arrangements is the first priority
• PWD may have to take repairs or reconstruction of such public
facilities on a priority basis
Environmental Effects
• Alteration in river and stream flow
• Liquefaction
specific
demands raised or required
Areas indicating signs of liquefaction should be declared out of bounds
and strict vigil should be kept by police to prohibit trespassing.
• Foundations of the building in the area prone to liquefaction
need technical assessment.
• Alteration in river and stream flow particularly when it covers
a settlement create immediate demands for evacuation and relief till such
time that the areas for new settlement identified and rehabilitation works
are executed.
• Economic and Social consequences
• Loss of livelihood
• Disruption of market and Loss in production
• Migration
• Disruption of social structure including breakdown of social order
and organisations
• Law and order problem
• Psychological after-effects such as individual trauma and depression
Specific demands raised or required
In addition to immediate relief requirements for effective and early recovery
process, checking migration
• restoration of production units, and employment avenues
• provision of individual counselling and community counselling
• Reconstruction of social structures and organisation of community
requires participation of non-governmental organisations District administration
must invite or coopt voluntary agencies to ensure this aspect.
• For combating depression, engage people in all possible activities
related to relief and rehabilitation through a deliberate strategy of
community participation.
• Secondary effects
• Fires
• Rains
• Landslides
Specific demands raised or required
• Fires resulting from earthquake are essentially a result of damage
to infrastructure such as power supply.
• Immediate service of fire brigade is essential to check further
damage.
• Immediate discontinuation of power would restrict the possibility
of occurrence to a large extent.
• Rains following earthquakes essentially disrupt rescue and relief
operations. Rescue and relief teams therefore must prepare themselves
in anticipation and get community cooperation to overcome such difficulties.
• Rains also have implication for storage of food, fuel for cooking
(firewood or coal) and fodder for the cattle. Protective structures therefore
for the storage of all relief material becomes essential. Plastic materials
and water-proof containers are required.
• Damage to road access due to landslides needs immediate clearing
and PWD has to keep itself prepared for such an eventuality.
• Settlements on the hill-slope prone to landslides need to be
shifted to safer places.
Floods
Planning Assumptions
• Floods occur with warning, while flash flood occur with very little
warning.
• Flood prone areas in India are demarcated as either blue or red
lines depending on the frequency of occurrence. Blue lines are those areas
where floods can occur once every five years whereas red lines are areas
where floods can occur once every hundred years.
• The resource requirements for management of flood is extremely
intensive involving large scale mobilization of resources.
Lead Agencies
• The lead agencies are the revenue, police, irrigation, and medical
services.
• Extensive damage to infrastructure and public utilities is possible
hence the role of supporting agencies such as MSEB, Telecommunications
and PWD is crucial.
• The loss to crop or plantation demands involvement of Agriculture
Department, ZP
• Loss of cattle will bring in the role for Animal Husbandry, ZP.
• The assistance and intervention of the EOC is essential to support
the district administration in the management of these disasters.
• Additionally, secondary disasters such as epidemics may be caused
due to floods and must be monitored by Public Health Department.
Possible Impacts
• Effects on Individual
• Loss of Life
• Injuries demanding medical attention
• Water-borne infection
Specific demands raised or required
• In most cases, orthopedic surgery, fractures, cuts and bruises
need immediate attention.
• Cases of water-borne infection need medication.
• Mass immunisation, when necessary, to protect individuals from
water-borne diseases.
• Marooned individuals, including those trapped on tree-tops and
building terraces need to be located and rescued which calls for boats,
or at times helicopter services.
• Alternatively when large sections of community are marooned instead
of evacuation it may be necessary to organise dispatch of relief supplies
to marooned locations. This creates a special need for transport facility.
• Expertise of fire brigade and defence services may be essential
in the rescue operations.
• Impact at family level
• Separated families
• Missing persons
• Family disorganisation
Specific demands raised or required
• In case of separation of family members information counters would
play an important role.
• In case of family disruption resulting from death of major earner,
economic rehabilitation of the family may have to be planned as a long-term
strategy.
• Loss of life, property and livestock may require damage assessment
procedures to avoid litigations and delays in gratuitous relief and compensation.
• Damage caused
• Houses
• Personal Belongings
• Livestock
• Crops and plantations
• Land
Specific demands raised or required
• Partially damaged houses needs technical inspection to decide
the habitation worthiness and the extent of repairs required.
• Certain partially damaged houses may require demolition.
• As far as possible, reconstruction should take place on the same
sites to avoid delays, secure cultural continuity and avoid costly land
purchase. In extreme situations, new sites for resettlement may have to
be identified when removal of rubble and debris is non-viable.
• Salvaging personal belongings from the debris needs clearance
from technical personnel to ensure safety of persons engaged.
• As far as possible, family members only should be permitted to
salvage their individual family belongings.
• Damage to crops, plantations or agriculture land will need a
long-term intervention.
• Damage to infrastructure and disruption of
services
• Buildings
• Godowns and storages
• Dams
• Bridges
• Road Surface and Rail Lines
• Power Stations
• Water pipelines and water tanks
• Sewer lines

Specific demands raised or required
• Care needs to be taken to ensure that all electrical supplies
to damaged area are disconnected promptly by MSEB.
• Underground cables need thorough inspection before power is restored.
• Damage to electric poles and transmission lines needs restoration.
• Breaches or cracks in the dam need Irrigation Department to secure
the breaches or grouting the cracks.
• In case of damage to bridges, relief operations may require temporary
bridges which can be put up with the assistance of army.
• Certain roads needing resurfacing will need immediate action
from PWD.
• Roads blocked due to uprooting of trees and electric poles may
need to be cleared on a priority basis.
• MWSSB in consultations with health authorities should restore
existing water supply with necessary repairs. This may call for replacement
of pipelines or arrangements for storage in portable PVC water tanks.
• In some cases, restoration of existing water supply may be time-consuming
and therefore water tankers may have to be pressed into service.
• Identification of nearby water sources and checking the potability
of the same may also be required.
• Damage or choking of sewer lines is one of the most ticklish
issue. Alternate arrangements by way of temporary latrines (technical
details given on Pg. No ) may have to be constructed.
• Extensive damage to residential buildings resulting in disruption
of telecommunication facilities requires provision of public telephones
(PCO) to facilitate communication.
• Damage to hospital, school buildings and other public facilities
may disrupt the services. In such a case restoration of services through
temporary arrangements is the first priority.
• PWD may have to take repairs or reconstruction of such public
facilities on a priority basis.
• Disposal of damaged foodgrains is one of the major step and needs
community cooperation.
• Provision for distribution of cooked food or dry rations may
have to be made.
• Environmental Effects
• soil erosion
• silting
• water pollution
• denudation of land
• increase in salinity
Specific demands raised or required
• Silting in residential areas and buildings is one of the major
problems requiring extensive community involvement.
• NGOs have demonstrated a tremendous capacity to mobilise community
participation in desilting operations for reoccupancy of the residences
and also the wells providing drinking water.
• Agriculture department may have to undertake soil-testing and
propose appropriate measures for restoration of agriculture land.
• Economic and Social consequences
• Loss of livelihood
• Disruption of market and Loss in production
• Migration
• Disruption of social structure including breakdown of social order
• and community organisations
• Law and order problem
• Psychological after-effects like depression, trauma etc.
Specific demands raised or required
In addition to immediate relief requirements for effective and early recovery
process and checking migration
• restoration of production units, and employment avenues
• provision of individual counselling and community counselling
• Reconstruction of social structures and organisation of community
requires a professional intervention which can best come from non-governmental
organisations Voluntary agencies will have to be invited or coopted for
relief activities to ensure this aspect.
• For combating depression, engage people in all possible activities
related to relief and rehabilitation through a deliberate strategy of
community participation.
• Secondary effects
• Epidemics
• Landslides
Specific demands raised or required
• Rescue and relief teams must be alert to the possibility of outbreak
of epidemics and therefore ensure standards of services with respect to
storage, cooking, and handling of food materials as also disposal of waste
in relief camps, medical centres and feeding centres.
• Water-quality monitoring mechanisms will have to be set-up to
prevent outbreak of epidemics.
• Rains also have implication for storage of food, fuel for cooking
(firewood or coal) and fodder for the cattle. Protective structures therefore
for the storage of all relief material becomes essential. Plastic materials
and water-proof containers are required.
• Damage to road access due to landslides needs immediate clearing
and PWD has to keep itself prepared for such an eventuality.
• Settlements on the hill-slope prone to landslides need to be
shifted to safer places.
Epidemics
Planning Assumptions
• The existing water quality monitoring and vector control programmes
reduces the possibility of spread of epidemics to a considerable extent.
• Efficient response from pathological and testing laboratories
helps in early diagnosis of the possible epidemic.
Lead Agencies
• The revenue and health department inlcuding the medical service
is the main agency involved in disaster management during epidemics.
• In the case of epidemics accompanying floods the water supply
and sanitation department, MWSSB and irrigation department are the support
agencies
• Apart from these support services, assistance is also sought
from the police and home guards, public works department, state transport
and the media.
Possible Impacts
• Effects on Individual
• Loss of Life
• Diseases needing Epidemiological Treatment
Specific demands raised or required
• Mass immunisation, when necessary, to protect individuals.
• In some cases, existing water supply may be contaminated and
therefore water tankers may have to be pressed into service.
• Identification of nearby water sources and checking the potability
of the same may also be required.
• Rescue and relief teams must be alert to the possibility of spread
of epidemics and therefore ensure standards of services with respect to
storage, cooking, and handling of food materials as also disposal of waste
in relief camps, medical centres and feeding centres.
• Water-quality monitoring mechanisms will have to be set-up to
prevent spread of epidemics.
• In case of vector-borne diseases, the exact vector and related
control methods will have to be followed. The required materials are listed
on (pg. No)

• programme of immunisation
• water quality monitoring
• pathological testing laboratories
• individual counselling
• family counselling
• Involvement of NGOs in mobilising community efforts for the control
of epidemics by ensuring standards of environmental sanitation, disposal
of waste and personal hygiene.
Road Accidents
Planning Assumptions
• The major road accidents are highly localised.
• The response machinery that is to be activated is at a much more
local level
• In case of road accidents involving toxic and highly inflammable
materials, there is need for temporary evacuation.
Lead Agencies
• The lead agencies are revenue, police and the regional transport
office.
• In major accidents involving loss of life and injuries to a large
number of people, services of agencies such as fire services, health department

recommended depending on the nature of spill. Also, specialised agencies
may have to be called for undertaking spill cleaning operations.
• Diversion of traffic resulting from such accidents may require
traffic control to give information at various entry points located also
far away (which need quick identification) from the site of accident so
as to avoid inconvenience to the travellers.
• Special cranes may be required for clearing the accident site.
• Economic and Social consequences
• Law and order problem
Specific demands raised or required
• Security of goods and materials in the vehicles involved in the
accident needs protection. The details of goods need to be officially
recorded.

Specific demands raised or required
• It may be necessary to inform the settlements around to take necessary
precautionary measures, if the accident involves leakage of toxic gases.
• It may be advisable to send a team of medical personnel from
poison centres to visit the settlements around the accident site when
toxic leak is reported.
Fires
Lead Agencies
• The main agencies involved in disaster management are the revenue
department, local fire service (municipality or municipal corporation),
medical services (hospitals) and police (local police station),
• In the event of a major fire, the local fire service would need
to co-ordinate with the MSEB and the water supply department for assistance
in containment of the fire.
• Major evacuation may call for support from DCR.
Possible Impacts
• Effects on Individuals

• Damage to hospital, school buildings and other public facilities
may disrupt the services. In such a case restoration of services through
temporary arrangements is the first priority.
• PWD may have to take repairs or reconstruction of such public
facilities on a priority basis. Some fires may demand traffic control
measures including identification of alternate routes and diversion of
traffic.
• In congested areas controlling curious onlookers may block movement
of rescue and fire workers. The police will need to cordon off the area
for smooth operations.
• Economic consequences
• Loss of livelihood
• disruption of market
• loss in production
Specific demands raised or required
In addition to immediate relief requirements for effective and early recovery
process,
• restoration of markets, production units, employment avenues
• Provision of damage assessment
Industrial and Chemical Accidents
Planning Assumptions
• Off-site industrial accidents are in the form of fires, explosions
and toxic gas leaks.
• The responsibility of declaring an industrial accident as off-site
rests with the management of the industrial unit where the accident has
occurred.
• The most crucial decision in off-site industrial accident management
is the recognition / identification of the stage at which the responsibility
is handed over from the management to the public authorities.
• The public authority will be the District Collector when the
disaster is likely to impact a larger area.
Lead Agencies
The main participating agencies in the management of off-site industrial
disasters are :
• revenue
• police, fire, medical services
• civil defence agencies
• public works department
• Industry
• MARG
• Public Health and regulatory environmental agencies.
• To enable effective immediate response, specialists are required
to
• provide fast, reliable information on the properties of the
substance released,
• its potential hazard,
• protective equipment required,
• containment and control measures to be taken and
• advice on the decontamination and emergency termination activities
required.
Possible Impacts
Effects
on Individual
• Loss of Life
• Burns
• Injuries demanding Surgical treatment
• Exposure to toxic material
Specific demands raised or required
• In most cases, orthopedic surgery and fractures need immediate
attention.
• Expertise of fire brigade, mutual aid and response groups (MARG),
may be essential.
• The police may require to cordon off the area.
• Chemical accidents may generate a demand for treatment for burns
and exposure to poisonous substances which may mean a specialised service
not generally available with medical practitioners.
• Nature of injuries may demand immediate transfer of injured to
poison centres.
• Loss of life, property and goods may require damage assessment
procedures to avoid litigations and delays in gratuitous relief and compensation
including insurance.
• Areas indicating spread of toxic gases should be declared out
of bounds and strict vigil should be kept by police to prohibit trespassing.
• Alteration in wind direction when it covers a settlement create
immediate demands for evacuation and relief till such time that an all-clear
signal is given.
Environmental
Effects
• water pollution
• air pollution
• effect on vegetation
Specific demands raised or required
• On a long-term basis monitoring of air, water and soil quality
will have to be carried out.
Disruption
of services
• Road network
• Electricity
• Water supply
Economic and Social consequences
• Loss of livelihood
• Disruption of market
• Damage to food stocks
• Loss in production
• Migration
• Law and order problem
• Social and Psychological effects
Specific demands raised or required
In addition to immediate relief requirements for effective and early recovery
process and checking migration
• restoration of production units, employment avenues
• provision of individual counselling and community counselling
• For combating depression, engage people in all possible activities
related to relief and rehabilitation through a deliberate strategy of
community participation.
Cyclones
Planning Assumptions
• Cyclones can be predicted sufficiently in advance but its impact
location over land is uncertain.
• The resource requirements for management of cyclone impact is
extremely intensive involving large scale mobilization of resources.
Lead Agencies
• The lead agencies are the Fire, Police and Health departments.
• Extensive damage to infrastructure and public utilities is possible
hence the role of supporting agencies such as MSEB, Telecommunications
and PWD is crucial.
• The loss to crop or plantation demands involvement of Agriculture
Department
• Loss of cattle will bring in the role for Animal Husbandry.
• The assistance and intervention of the EOC is essential to support
the district administration in the management of these disasters.
• Additionally, secondary disasters such as epidemics may be caused
due to floods resulting from cyclones and must be monitored by Public
Health Department.
Possible Impacts
Effects
on Individual
• Loss of Life
• Injuries demanding surgical needs
• Family disorganisation
Specific demands raised or required
• In most cases, orthopedic surgery, fractures, cuts and bruises
need immediate attention.
• Mass immunisation is necessary to protect individuals from water-borne
diseases.
• Marooned individuals, including those trapped on tree-tops and
building terraces (in case of tidal wave) need to be located and rescued
which calls for boats, or at times helicopter services.
• Alternatively when large sections of community are marooned instead
of evacuation it
may be necessary to organise dispatch of relief supplies to marooned locations.
This
creates a special need for transport facility.
• Expertise of fire brigade and defence services (Navy, Coast Guards)
may be essential in
the rescue operations.
Damage
caused
[Cyclones may be accompanied by heavy rains, or at times tidal waves].
• Houses
• Personal Belongings
• Livestock
• Crops and Plantations
• Forests
Specific demands raised or required
• Partially damaged houses needs technical inspection to decide
the habitation worthiness
and the extent of repairs required.
• Certain partially damaged houses may require demolition.
• New sites for resettlement may have to be identified when removal
of rubble and debris is non-viable.
• Salvaging personal belongings from the debris needs clearance
from technical personnel to ensure safety of persons engaged.
• As far as possible, family members only should be permitted to
salvage their individual family belongings.
Damage
to infrastructure and disruption in services
• Buildings
• Godowns and storages
• Dams
• Bridges
• Road Surface and Rail Lines
• Power Stations and Power Lines
• Water Tanks
• Ports and Jetties
• Communication Lines
• Railway Signals
Specific demands raised or required
• Care needs to be taken to ensure that all electrical supplies
to damaged area are
disconnected promptly by MSEB.
• Overhead lines need thorough inspection before power is restored.
• Breaches or cracks in the dam need Irrigation Department to secure
the breaches or
grouting the cracks.
• In case of damage to bridges, relief operations may require temporary
bridges which
can be put up with the assistance of army.
• Certain roads needing resurfacing will need immediate action from
PWD.
• MWSSB in consultations with health authorities should restore
existing water supply
with necessary repairs. This may call for replacement of pipelines or
arrangements for
storage in portable PVC water tanks.
• In some cases, restoration of existing water supply may be time-consuming
and
therefore water tankers may have to be pressed into service.
• Identification of nearby water sources and checking the potability
of the same may also
be required.
• Choking of sewer lines is one of the most ticklish issue. Immediate
arrangements for clearing the sewer lines is necessary.
• Piped gas supply should be immediately terminated in the affected
area to avoid secondary consequences. If necessary, and feasible gas cylinders
should be supplied till the gas line is checked thoroughly and restored.
• Extensive damage to residential buildings resulting in disruption
of telecommunication facilities requires provision of public telephones
(PCO) to facilitate communication.
• Damage to hospital, school buildings and other public facilities
may disrupt the services. In such a case restoration of services through
temporary arrangements is the first priority.
• PWD may have to take repairs or reconstruction of such public
facilities on a priority basis.
• Disposal of damaged foodgrains is one of the major step and needs
community cooperation.
• Provision for distribution of cooked food or dry rations may
have to be made.
• Rains also have implication for storage of food, fuel for cooking
(firewood or coal) and fodder for the cattle. Protective structures therefore
for the storage of all relief material becomes essential. Plastic materials
and water proof containers are required.
Environmental Effects
• soil erosion
• silting
• water pollution
• increase in salinity
Specific demands raised or required
• Silting in residential areas and buildings is one of the major
problems requiring extensive
community involvement.
• NGOs have demonstrated a tremendous capacity to mobilise community
participation in
desalting operations for reoccupancy of the residences and also the wells
providing
drinking water.
• Agriculture department may have to undertake soil-testing and
propose appropriate
measures for restoration of agriculture land.
Economic and Social consequences
• Loss of livelihood
• Disruption of market and Loss in production
• Disruption of social structure including breakdown of social order
• and community organisations
• Migration
• Law and order problem
• Psychological after-effects
Specific demands raised or required
• In addition to immediate relief requirements, for effective and
early recovery process and checking migration
• restoration of production units and employment avenues
• provision of individual counselling and community counselling
• Reconstruction of social structures and organisation of community
requires a professional
intervention which can best come from non-governmental organisations Voluntary
agencies will have to be invited or coopted for relief activities to ensure
this aspect.
• For combating depression, engage people in all possible activities
related to relief and rehabilitation through a deliberate strategy of
community participation.
Secondary effects
• Epidemics
• Landslides
Specific demands raised or required
• Rescue and relief teams must be alert to the possibility of outbreak
of epidemics and therefore ensure standards of services with respect to
storage, cooking, and handling of food materials as also disposal of waste
in relief camps, medical centres and feeding centres.
• Water-quality monitoring mechanisms will have to be set-up to
prevent outbreak of epidemics.
• Damage to road access due to landslides needs immediate clearing
and PWD has to keep itself prepared for such an eventuality.
• Settlements on the hill-slope prone to landslides need to be
shifted to safer places.
Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Voluntary
Agencies
The non-governmental organisations and voluntary agencies play an important
role in disaster management and provide a strong band of committed volunteers
with experience in managing the disasters. Their strength lies in the
choice of their manpower, the informality in operations and flexibility
in procedures. These organisations enjoy a fair degree of autonomy and
hence can respond to changing needs immediately.
The NGOs will be assigned specific locations and roles by the District
Collector to undertake relief work within the overall institutional framework.
The list of NGOs in the district with their specific nature of work, and
specific roles of NGOs during disaster management is given in the following
sections. These NGOs would work in close co-ordination with the district
administration and maintain the standards of services, information exchange
and reporting requirements so as to enable the Collector to have a total
picture of resource availability, disbursements and requirements. As and
where possible, NGOs may also be able to improve the quality of delivery
of welfare services in the camps organised and manned by administration.

NGOs to be involved in specific activities during
disaster management
operations
Most of the NGOs outlined above can assist in all type of work during
relief activities.
There is atleast one NGO per taluka which has indicated any specific
operations that they would be able to undertake during disaster managemewnt
operationslike medical aid, building of temporary shelters, cattlle camps,
disposal of dead bodies and carcassess etc.
The details of the activities that these NGOs can carry out is given
in the above table
Encouraging Community Preparedness
Disasters may result in cutting off essential services and in spite of
administrative preparedness it may not be possible for the administration
to reach out immediately.
Mitigation efforts and preparation of the disaster management action
plan for local areas are essential elements and pre-requisites. Preparedness
to a large extent would reduce the impact and the damage. Training and
simulation exercises for enhancing the community’s preparedness
and response capability will simultaneously strengthen and enhance the
capacity of the administration to undertake necessary preparedness or
evacuation measures. The district administration is encouraging and supporting
initiatives towards community preparedness measures including formation
of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs).
On the basis of discussions, apart from the NGOs mentioned earlier, the
following Private Sector units, Mahila Mandals and CBOs have been identified
as resource groups for involvement in community preparedness measures.
They will all undergo training for the same. These Private Sector units,
Mahila Mandals, CBOs, NGOs would adopt a conscious effort towards community
level preparedness measures. They would also promote the formation of
CERTs.
As a part of general preparedness at community level, the families in
the community would be made conscious about the type of hazard that the
household situation presents and the threats from outside. Also, communities
would be encouraged to undertake exercises in risk and vulnerability analysis
and preparation of community response plan to possible disasters. Thus
local local disaster management action plans for hot-spot areas in the
context of specific vulnerability would be developed. For areas with high
concentration of industries MARGs have been set-up, whereas for areas
prone to other types of disasters Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs)
are being set-up. Special efforts have also been taken to involve Sugar
Co-operatives towards Community Preparedness Measures.
Private Sector Units
There are the following Industries Associations in Kolhapur District
1. Parvati Cooperative Industrial Estate, Yadrav. Phone 52100
2. Akkiwade Cooperative Industrial Estate, Jaysinghpur Phone 21094
3. Shri shau Cooperative Industrial Estate, Agarbhage, Shirol.
4. Shiroli Manufacturing Association. Phone 468001
5. Industrial Estate, Ichalkaranji Phone 436417
6. Kolhapur Engineering Association, Udyamnagar, Kolhapur. Phone 654652
7. Gokul Shirgaon Manufacturing Association. Phone 672400
8. Chatrap[ati RajaramTimber Market Association, Kolhapur. Phone 658020
9. The Kolhapur Cooperative Petrol and Diesel Pump dealers Association,
Kolhapur.
Phone 655180
Mutual Aid and Resource Groups (MARGs)
There are two major MIDC estates at Gokul Shirgaon in Karveer taluka and
at Shiroli in
Hatkanangale taluka. The Major hazardous factories are only three - Paper
Plant of the
Warna Sugar Factory at Warnanagar, Mahadik LPG Bottling plant and Balaji
Petro at Wathar
in Hatkanangale taluka.
There is need for setting up Mutual Aid and Response Groups wherever
human settlements are located close to these hazardous locations.
The objective of setting up MARGs in these areas are
• Make the industrial zone self-sufficient
• Encourage pooling of resources to tackle industrial accidents
• Manage both on-site and off-site industrial accidents
• Provide for a degree of expertise in managing disasters
• Reduce the response time for managing disasters
• To integrate the on-site plan of industries with an off-site plan.
• Assist the district administration in managing disasters
Guidelines for the formation of MARGs are given in Annexure I.
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs)
In most disasters, community members are the first to respond before
any outside assistance can reach the disaster site. Therefore in certain
disaster prone areas a group of young volunteers or Community Emergency
Response Teams are being formed and trained to undertake essential tasks
which would reduce loss of life and property and at the same time build
confidence in self-management. Essentially CERTs would contribute in the
following areas:
1. Organising training and preparedness exercises at the community level
2. Ensuring family preparedness on the receipt of warning
3. Ensuring communication links both within the community and with administration
4. Controlling rumours and panic behaviour and undertaking confidence
building activities
5. Mobilising youth and able-bodied persons from the community to provide
volunteers support, wherever required
6. Organising local work teams for immediate rescue, and relief e.g. cooked
food, first aid, assistance in law and order
7. Assisting the handicapped who need special help
8. Facilitating movement of relief teams during evacuation and relief
and ensuring appropriate tagging as and when necessary
9. Guarding major installations and evacuated properties till the administration
takes over.
These CERTs are expected to support the efforts of the Gram Panchayat
and Tahsildar.
Villages where CERTs can be formed
Kolhapur district has a recurrent problem of floods. There are many flood
prone villages along the major rivers and in almost all the tahsils –
the list is given in Section III. Such “Community Emergency Response
Teams” need to be formed in these flood prone villages.
Areas of Community Participation
Administration and NGOs at the disaster site should ensure maximum community
participation in all stages of operation in order to maintain community
morale and confidence, maximise the use of local resources, reduce costs
of operation and promote a faster recovery. It is important to note that
the so-called “victims” are not all that helpless and offer
a tremendous manpower resource and ingenuity to overcome the crises. Disaster
management situations offers a wide range of choice and demands a immediate
decision making. The participation of communities and their representatives
would reduce the pressures on administration with regard to the choice
and uncertainties of community’s response to the decision-making
process.
Based on local dynamics, ethos and the experience of the Latur earthquake,
an appropriate strategy to ensure community support has been evolved.
Such efforts to enlist community support and participation have gone a
long way in reassuring the community about the administration’s
intent and seriousness about managing the disaster.
Efforts to enlist community participation is being ensured by
• identifying situational, opinion and position leaders in the community
and voicing administration’s confidence in their capabilities to
undertake the tasks.
• Consultations and dialogues expressly indicating the need for
assistance would encourage the community and its leaders to come forward.
• Regular feedback meetings and an open book approach to demonstrate
transparency.
• Involving community in decision making at local levels
The major areas of community participation are being identified and
include the following :
During Evacuation
For appropriate security and law and order evacuation would be undertaken
with assistance from community leaders and community based organisations
(CBOs).
The entire family would evacuate together as a unit. However, to avoid
stampede and confusion and in cases of inadequate transport or limited
time, emergency evacuation would be undertaken in the following order
:
• seriously injured and sick
• children, women and handicapped
• Old
• Able-bodied
For emergency evacuations , the families would be encouraged to take
along water, food, clothing and emergency supplies to last at least three
days.
In addition, the families would be encouraged to assemble the following
kit.
• Adeqaute supply of water in closed, unbreakable containers.
• Adequate supply of non-perishable packaged food and dry rations
• A change of clothing and rain gear.
• Blankets and bedsheets, towels
• Buckets, Plates and mugs made of plastic
• Soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste
• A battery-powered radio, torch, lantern, matches
• Cash and jewellery
• Personal medicines
• A list of important family documents including ration card, passport,
bank passbook address/telephone book (of relatives), certificates, driving
licence, property documents, insurance documents etc.
• Special items including foods, for infants, elderly or disabled
family members.
People would be asked to shut off electricity and water at main switches
and valves before leaving.
People would be asked to listen to a battery-powered radio and follow
local instructions.
In other cases, people would be advised to follow these steps:
• Wear protective clothing.
• Secure their homes. Close and lock doors and windows.
• Turn off the main water valve and electricity
• Leave early enough to avoid being trapped.
• Follow recommended evacuation routes. Not to take shortcuts. They
may be blocked.
• Not to move into flooded areas.
• Stay away from downed power lines.
• Animals may not be allowed in public shelters. With respect to
livestock, community would be instructed to set the livestock free before
evacuating in order to avoid extensive loss of livestock. If possible,
the community may be advised to carry the livestock along if the evacuation
does not involve transportation by vehicles.
During the Disaster
Community leaders would be responsible for ensuring the following community
behaviour :
• People stay calm and panic behaviour is not encouraged. Regulate
helter-skelter running or crowding of people.
• Encourage people to stay at a secured place and protect themselves
from injuries.
• People do not enter damaged buildings or structures or even their
own houses
• People do not touch electric poles, utility wires/cables
• People do not use telephones except in life-threatening situations
• Preparedness of community for recurrence of the disaster, increase
in severity, or consequential emergencies
• Check for injuries. Do not attempt to move seriously injured persons
unless they are in immediate danger of death or further injury.
• Undertake first-aid activities as per the guidelines given in
preparedness and mitigation document of DDMAP
• Visually inspect utility lines and appliances for damage.
• If water pipes are damaged, shut off the water supply at the main
valve.
• People stay away from damaged areas, unless their assistance has
been specifically requested by police, fire or relief organizations.
• Mobilise people to put out small fires and people inside are made
to evacuate.
• People do not throw away any damaged goods until an official inventory
has been taken.
• Help police, if requested, to maintain law and order and watch
the evacuated property during the disaster
During Relief and Rehabilitation
Immediately after the disaster, the members of the community may look
depressed and helpless, but very soon gets euphoric when they find that
after all everything is not lost. Participation of community at this stage
helps in early recovery and promotes mental health. It is necessary to
see that member of the community are continuously engaged in some sort
of helping activity to draw them out of their depression.
Relief authorities at the site would therefore:
• Encourage self-help in every activity of their day-to-day living.
• Encourage assistance for location and identification of dead,
disposal of dead bodies, disposal of carcasses and disposal of damaged
food stocks
• Encourage contribution of labour (loading, unloading, distribution,
temporary constructions, salvage and restoration of water supplies, Food
distribution, relief camps, cattle camps etc.)
• Enlist assistance for updating records of damages and losses.
• Enlist assistance in maintenance of law and order
• Enlist assistance in maintaining sanitation standards and disposal
of waste
• Promote cultural and recreational activities in order to protect
the mental health and sustain the ethical and moral values.
Encouraging Family Level Preparedness
In order to assist the families to prepare themselves, community education
programme will be undertaken to acquaint members of the community with
the nature of each disaster, the type of damage that can occur, the demands
it would generate both at family and community level and the manner in
which it will be responded to. Even with the best of planning, it is difficult
to assess the exact impact of the disaster and the response time. Under
the circumstances then, families have to prepare themselves for a prolonged
period before the administration can reach them. Although collective efforts
of the community can reduce the hardship to some extent a large part of
the burden would be on the family itself. Hence families would be encouraged
to check for the in-house hazards as also use the given emergency checklist
and prepare itself accordingly.
Checking for in-house hazards
• Encourage people to inspect their houses once every year to find
and correct potential hazards such as any household items that can move,
fall, break, or cause a fire.
• Check for electrical hazards.
• Undertake repairs or replacement of hazardous cables, plugs,
connections.
• Remove unwanted plug points or unused cables.
• Check for combustible materials in the household
• Appropriateness of storage place (light, ventilation, heat and
reach of children)
• Appropriateness of containers of flammable liquids such as kerosone/diesel
(quality of material, quantity of material, covers, leakages)
• Precautions undertaken for managing the spills
• Check for fire hazards.
• Separation of household goods from inflammable materials
• Separation of fuel from combustible materials
• Cleaning of valves, pressure stoves and supply points
Emergency Planning and Checklists
Families need to prepare themselves for any kind of disaster. This would
require specific information about emergency water and food and a recommended
checklist of emergency supplies which will enable the family to sustain
itself till adequate facilities for relief are organised.
Emergency checklist:
• Find out which disasters could occur in the area.
• Ask how to prepare for each disaster.
• Know the members of the CERT
• Ask how warnings are given in an emergency.
• Learn about the community's evacuation routes.
• Learn about designated shelters
• Ask about special assistance for elderly or disabled persons.
• Learn about emergency plans at the workplace.
• Learn about emergency plans for the children’s school or
day-care center.
Create an emergency plan:
• Meet with household members. Discuss with children the dangers
of fire, severe weather, earthquakes and other emergencies.
• Discuss how to respond to each disaster that could occur.
• Talk to children about the likely disasters
• It is easier for children to understand what is happening during
a disaster if they already know what can take place. Point out that some
of the disasters are indeed natural events and although they are dangerous,
they do not have to be life-threatening if adequate precautions are taken.
Try not to alarm the children in discussing possible disasters.
• Teach children about the safety precautions for each disaster.
• Learn how to turn off the water and electricity at main switches.
• Create a network of relatives, friends or co-workers to assist
the disabled in an emergency.
• Provide for medical alert tags or bracelets to identify the handicapped
person
Disaster supplies kit
• For emergency evacuations , the families should be encouraged
to take along adequate supply of water, food, clothing and emergency supplies.
• The families should be encouraged to assemble the disaster supplies
kit as described earlier.
Evacuation Preparedness
When community evacuations become necessary, local officials would provide
information to the public through the media. Government agencies, and
other disaster relief organisations would provide emergency shelter and
supplies.
The amount of time the families have to evacuate will depend on the disaster.
If the event can be monitored, like a cyclone, families could have a day
or two to get ready. But many disasters offer no time for people to gather
even the most basic necessities. This is why evacuation plan is necessary.
The checklist for emergency planning given above would be useful for
evacuation planning as well. Additionally, families should also get their
disaster supplies kit organised for evacuation and follow the steps for
evacuation as outlined earlier.
Shelter
Taking shelter is critical in times of disaster. This may mean staying
in an enclosed structure during a severe storm without electricity for
days.
In many emergencies, local authorities would set up public shelters in
schools, municipal buildings and places of worship. While they often provide
water, food, medicine and basic sanitary facilities, families should plan
to have their own supplies as well.
Living in Designated Emergency Shelters
1. Stay in the shelter until local authorities say it's okay to leave.
The length of the stay can range from a few hours to few days.
2. Restrict smoking to well-ventilated areas. Ensure that smoking materials
are disposed of safely.
3. Cooperate with local authorities and others staying in the shelter.
Living with many families in a confined space can be difficult and unpleasant.
4. Listen to radio broadcasts.
5. Watch for fires.
6. Assist local authorities as volunteers in the management of water,
cooked food and other relief supplies including medical care, if required
7. Make arrangements for pets and cattle before going to a public shelter.
They are not allowed in a public shelter due to health reasons.
8. Organise recreation for children
9. Assist local authorities with the assistance of community members
to maintain law and order
Helping after Disaster
When disaster strikes, people everywhere want to help those in need. To
ensure that this compassion and generosity are put to good use, the media
can highlight these facts:
• Financial aid is an immediate need of disaster victims. Financial
contributions should be made through local administration or a well-known
voluntary organisation to help ensure that contributions are put to their
intended use.
• Before donating food or clothing, wait for instructions from
local officials. Immediately after a disaster, relief workers usually
don't have time or facilities to set-up distribution channels, and too
often these items go to waste.
• Volunteers should go through a well-known voluntary agency since
these agencies will know what is needed and are prepared to deal with
the need. Local authorities also coordinate volunteer efforts forhelping
in disasters.
• Organisations and community groups wishing to donate items should
first contact local officials, and voluntary agencies working on relief
to find out what is needed and where to send it. Be prepared to deliver
the items to different places, tell officials when you'll be there, but
do not expect them to provide for transportation, driver, and unloading.
Disaster Specific Family Preparedness Measures
Fires
[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic
response, fire accidents demand specific preparedness and responses. Given
below are the preparedness measures and responses which are specific to
fire accidents].
Fire spreads quickly; there is no time to grab valuables or inform administration.
Heat and smoke are even more dangerous than the flames; inhaling the super-hot
air can sear the lungs. Fire produces poisonous gases that make you disoriented
and drowsy. Instead of being awakened by a fire, it may induce a deeper
sleep.
In case of fire know what to do, how to escape, how to safeguard the occupants.
Have a plan.
Fire safety tips
• Teach family members to stay low to the floor (where the air
is safer in a fire) when escaping from a fire.
What to do during a fire
• Use water to put out small fires. Do not try to put out a fire
that is getting out of control. Call the fire department. Make sure everyone
knows how to call the fire department.
• Never use water on an electrical fire.
• Smother oil and grease fires in the kitchen with baking soda
or salt, or put a lid over the flame if it is burning in a pan.
• If the clothes catch on fire, the person should stop, drop and
roll until the fire is extinguished. Running only makes the fire burn
faster. Those assisting should pour water and not try to control it with
bare hands.
• Feel for heat near the top of the door before opening. If it's
hot, don't open it unless it is an escape route. In such a case Feel the
bottom of the door with the palm of your hand before opening it. If the
door is cool, leave immediately. Be prepared to crawl. Smoke and heat
rise, and the air is clearer and cooler near the floor. If the door is
hot, escape through a window. If escape is not possible, signal and call
out for help, alerting the fire fighters.
• Close doors of the rooms on fire. It will hold back the fire
and keep out poisonous smoke until help arrives.
• If escape is not possible, stay near the floor, where the air
is better. If all doors are closed, open awindow for air. If possible,
stuff wet rags around doors to hold back smoke and heat.
• Stay out. Do not, for any reason, go back into a burning house.
If someone is missing, tell the fire fighters.
What to do after a fire
• Do not enter a fire-damaged structureunless authorities say it
is okay.
• When entering a fire-damaged structure, look for signs of heat
or smoke.
• Have an electrician check your household wiring before the current
is turned on.
• Beware of structural damage. Roofs and floors may be weakened
and need repair.
• Keep records of all clean-up and repair costs.
• Do not throw away any damaged goods until an official inventory
has been taken.
• In case of tenancy, contact the landlord.
• Secure personal belongings or move them to another location.
• Discard food and medicines that have been exposed to heat, smoke
or soot.
• Do not try to open a safe or strong box. It can hold intense
heat for several hours. If the door is opened before the box has cooled,
the entering air combined with the high internal temperature can cause
the contents to burst into flames.
• If the local administration say the structure is unsafe and must
be vacated :
• Ask local police or CERT volunteers to watch the property
• Take jewellery, cash, and financial records and other important
documents.
• After vacating, notify the new residential address to friends,
relatives, police and fire departments, delivery services, employers,
schools and the post office
Earthquakes
[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic
response, earthquakes demand specific preparedness and responses. Given
below are the preparedness measures and responses which are specific to
earthquakes].
The actual movement of the ground in an earthquake is seldom the direct
cause of death and injury. Most casualties result from falling objects
and debris. Earthquakes also may trigger landslides andgenerate huge ocean
waves, each of which can cause great damage. There are many actions which
can be taken to reduce the dangers.
Preparing for an Earthquake
• Prepare a home Earthquake plan
• Choose a safe place in every room - under a sturdy table or desk
or against an inside wall where nothing can fall on you.
• Practice drop, cover, and hold on at least twice a year. Drop
under a sturdy desk or table, hold on, and protect the eyes by pressing
the face against the arm. If there is no table or desk nearby, sit on
the floor against an interior wall away from windows or tall furniture
that could fall on you.
• Teach children to drop, cover, and hold on
During an Earthquake
• Stay calm.
• Inside, stand in a doorway or crouch under a desk or table, away
from windows. Watch for falling objects. If in bed, hold on and stay there,
protecting the head with a pillow. Drop, cover, and hold on
• Outdoors, stand away from buildings, trees, telephone, and electrical
lines.
• On the road, drive away from subways, flyovers and bridges. Stop
in safe area. Stay in vehicle.
After an Earthquake
• Check for injuries. Provide first aid.
• Check for water, sewage breaks and for downed electrical lines
and short-circuits. Turn off appropriate utilities. Look for and extinguish
small fires. Eliminate fire hazards.
• Check for building damage and potential safety problems.
• Clean up dangerous spills.
• Turn on radio and listen for instructions from local authorities/police/fire
brigade
• Don't use the telephone except for emergencies.
• Expect aftershocks. Each time you feel one, drop, cover, and
hold on
Floods and Flash Floods
[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic
response, floods demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below
are the preparedness measures and responses which are specific to floods].
Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural hazards. Some
floods develop over a period of days, but flash floods can result in raging
waters in just a few minutes. Flash floods carry rocks, mud and other
debris and can occur without any visible sign of rainfall. Land slides
are another danger created by flooding.
Before a Flood
• Find out if the area is flood-prone from the local authorities.
• Understand the flood levels and learn about the history of flooding
in the community.
• Learn flood warning signs and community alert signals and know
the terms used to describe flooding.
During a Flood Watch
• Listen to a battery-operated radio for the latest flood information.
Fill buckets and other water containers with clean water in case water
becomes contaminated.
• Be aware of flash floods. Flash floods will rise faster and cut
off the escape routes. If there is any possibility of a flash flood occurring,
move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move.
• Move valuable household possessions to the upper floors or to
safe ground if time permits.
During a Flood
If Indoors:
• Turn on battery-operated radio or television to get the latest
emergency information.
• Get your preassembled emergency supplies.
• If told to leave, do so immediately.
If Outdoors:
• Climb to high ground and stay there. Avoid walking through any
floodwaters. If it is moving swiftly, even shallow water can sweep you
off your feet.
• Do not allow children to play in flood waters
If In A vehicle:
• If travelling towards a flooded area, turn around and go another
way.
• If the vehicle stalls, abandon it immediately on the side of
the road and climb to higher ground. Many deaths have resulted from attempts
to move stalled vehicles.
• If trapped in a vehicle that is going under water, get out of
the submerged vehicle by opening a window or door and swimming to safety.
After a Flood
• Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. Listen
to a radio or television and don't return home until authorities indicate
it is safe to do so.
• When entering buildings, use extreme caution.
• Examine walls, floors, doors, and windows to make sure that the
building is not in danger of collapsing.
• Watch out for animals, especially poisonous snakes, that may
have got into the house with the flood waters. Use a stick to poke through
debris.
• Watch for loose plaster and ceilings that could fall.
• Throw away food that has come in contact with flood waters.
• Remove water from the house to avoid structural damage.
Epidemics
[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic
response, epidemics demand specific preparedness and responses. Given
below are the preparedness measures and responses which are specific to
epidemics ].
Different epidemics will have different etymology and consequences. Water-borne,
vector-borne or viral epidemics will need different levels of preparedness
and response. Some epidemics may have a quick onset whereas others may
take a longer time to spread. The public health department is primarily
concerned with issuing the epidemic warning and declaring the areas as
epidemic prone.
After the warning
• Understand the specific nature of the epidemic including the
causation, nature of spread, symptoms and medication
• Understand the specific precautionary and preventive measures
to be taken by the family members.
• Ensure intake of safe water and food. Take extra measures to
protect food stocks.
• Receive all recommended vaccinations, inoculations and encourage
the neighbours to help health authorities to prevent spread of epidemics
• Avoid stockpiling preventive medicines at family level. This
may create a severe shortage of essential drugs.
• Take extra-care in disposal of family waste and also assist in
community efforts in disposal of waste
• Keep in constant touch with epidemic information and public health
staff in the area
During the Epidemic
• Report any symptoms to the health authorities immediately
• Understand if there is a need for quarantine
• Understand the nature of treatment and possible emergencies
• Do not leave the epidemic area without a clearance from the health
authorities
• Report arrival of any guests from the epidemic area
• Discourage relatives and friends from outside epidemic area to
visit your areas
• Understand the steps to be taken in the disposal of personnel
belongings of the patient including disposal of excreta
• Understand the procedure for disposal of the dead body of the
epidemic victim
Road Accidents
[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic
response, road accidents demand specific preparedness and responses. Given
below are the preparedness measures and responses which are specific to
road accidents].
Road Accidents are a major killer and take place without any warning.
Accidents may involve passenger vehicles, goods vehicles, vehicles carrying
hazardous and toxic materials. The damage therefore may involve injuries
and deaths, chemical spills, fires or release of toxic gases.
On accident event (involving passenger vehicle)
Those at the accident site should follow the following priorities
• Look for and rescue the injured or those trapped in the vehicles
• Arrange for transport of the injured to the nearest medical care
centre
• Place the dead bodies on one side to avoid obstructions
• Organise locally traffic control using the available manpower
to avoid traffic jams
• Discourage people from crowding near the accident spot
• Discourage people from looting the goods from the accident vehicle
• Arrange to inform the nearest traffic police post through passing
vehicles on either side
On accident event (involving hazardous and toxic elements)
• Do not go anywhere near the accident spot unless the hazardous
and toxic elements are properly understood and discourage others. The
contents may explode or catch fire
• Prevent people at the accident site from lighting of matches
for cigarettes etc.
• Discourage people from collecting the spills from the accident
vehicle as the chemicals might be deceptive and lead to toxic exposure
or explosions
• Arrange to inform the nearest traffic police/fire brigade through
passing vehicles
• Identify the wind direction and move in the opposite direction
• Do not allow any traffic congestion near the accident spot
• Stop the traffic at a sufficient distance (at least half a kilometre)
from the accident spot in all directions till the nature of chemicals
is properly understood
Dissemination of DDMAP
In order for the DDMAP to be effective it would be disseminated at two
levels ;
• to the district authorities, government departments, NGOs and
other agencies and institutions within the district and
• to general public.
Effective dissemination of plan requires a well designed and focused
training and awareness programmes. The responsibility for dissemination
of the plan is vested with the District Disaster Manager, at the Collectorate,
and training activities will be carried out under the guidance and direction
of YASHADA, as well as through awareness programmes organised by each
of the agencies participating in disaster management such as Irrigation
Department organising warning and evacuation exercises or Fire Brigade
demonstrating rescue operations. The District Disaster Manager would also
involve NGOs in preparing suitable public awareness material to be distributed
to the public. The specific NGOs to be involved in these exercises are
given below.

The training programmes will be organised for different levels of functionaries.
The district level officials and identified NGOs, Private Sector organisations
will receive the training at YASHADA under their Training of Trainers
(TOT) programme in order to equip them to extend training facilities to
functionaries at taluka and village level as well as organise simulation
exercises within the community. Some of the select government training
institutions at the district level will participate in such TOTs and undertake
training programmes for government functionaries. Efforts will be therefore
directed to decentralise training activity to the extent possible so as
to enable YASHADA to serve as resource centre and provide training expertise
to various groups.
The materials for awareness programmes at community level would be prepared
in the local language to ensure widespread dissemination. Media would
be extensively used for public awareness programmes. These will include
• newspapers including local ones
• TV
• local cable networks
• radio
• folk media
• publicity material
Schools, colleges and other public institutions would be specifically
targetted.
In addition to dissemination of literature related to the DDMAP, disaster
response drills should be conducted on a regular basis especially in the
disaster prone areas to maintain the readiness of communities and departments
as regards operational procedures, personnel and equipment and orderly
response.
Local agencies such as fire, police and ambulance staff would be familiar
with the disasters possible in an area. Mutual aid organizations and public
emergency response organizations would be included in these drills
The objectives of full scale drill include evaluation of the following:
• practicality of the plan (structure and organization)
• adequacy of communications and interactions among agencies and
the public
• emergency equipment effectiveness
• adequacy of first aid and rescue procedures
• adequacy of emergency personnel response and training
• public relations skills
• evacuation and count procedures
Plan Evaluation
The purpose of evaluation of DDMAP is to determine
• the adequacy of resources
• coordination between various agencies
• community participation
• partnership with NGOs
The ease of understanding and using the plan will also be important
considerations.
The plan will be updated when shortcomings are observed in
• organizational structures
• technological changes render information obsolete;
• response mechanism following reports on drills or exercises;
• assignments of state agencies.
Adaptation, improvisation and optimisation are corner stones of any planning
pertaining to disasters. It must be emphasized that the Documents or Manuals
prepared as disaster management plan have a limited purpose. These can
at best serve as reminder of tasks and activities.
Individuals and agencies assigned specific responsibilities within this
Plan will prepare appropriate supporting plans and related standard operating
procedures, periodically review and update alerting procedures and resource
listings, and maintain an acceptable level of preparedness.
The DDMAP would be evaluated by both the district and the state.
Post-Disaster Evaluation
A post-incident evaluation would be done after the withdrawal of relief
and rehabilitation activities in order to assess
• the nature of state intervention and support,
• suitability of the organization structure,
• institutional arrangements,
• adequacy of Operating Procedures,
• monitoring mechanisms,
• information tools,
• equipment,
• communication system, etc.,
The impact studies on the above operations for long-term preventive
and mitigation efforts are also to be undertaken.
At the community level, evaluation exercises may be undertaken to assess
the reactions of the community members at various stages in the disaster
management cycle and to understand their perceptions about disaster response
in terms of
• adequacy of training,
• alert and warning systems,
• control room functions,
• communication plans,
• security,
• containment
• recovery procedures,
• monitoring
Plan Update
The DDMAP is a “living document” and the Collector along with
YASHADA will update it every year taking into consideration
• the resource requirements,
• updates on human resources
• technology to be used
• coordination issues
An annual conference for DMAP update will be organised by the Collector.
All concerned departments and agencies would participate and give recommendations
on specific issues.
The following guidelines would be adhered to while updating the DDMAP
:
• A procedure, would be in place to update the plan on a regular
basis to ensure that the items requiring updation are considered and are
current.
• When an amendment is made to a plan, the amendment date would
be noted on the updated page of the plan.
• A senior official in every agency would be designated to ensure
that all plan-holders are notified of changes as soon as possible. Plan-holders
would be requested to verify that they have received the changes.
Annexure I: Guidelines for Formation of MARG
In areas where there is a concentration of hazardous industries, Mutual
Aid and Response Groups can be organised to make the industrial zone to
be self-sufficient to a fairly large extent and manage industrial accidents,
both on-site and off-site.
The pre-requisite for setting up such a group are
1. General information on industries, settlements and geo-physical and
climatic data
2. Zoning of the Industrial area with listing of industries in each zone
3. Identification of lead industry and the group leader and assistant
group leaders with their names, addresses and telephones, who would act
as liaison persons
4. Identification of technical experts in each zone with their names and
addresses who would respond to the call for assistance
5. Identification of potential hazards/toxic materials with the list containing
physical and hazardous properties, procedures for responding spillage
and leakage, cautions to be taken including emergency procedures, naturalisation
procedures, protective equipments, emergency equipments, first-aid.
6. List of hazardous chemicals and quantities stored by different industries
7. Names, locations and telephone numbers of hospitals and poison centres
Guidelines For Seeking MARG Assistance
Preparation :
1. All concerned industries should prepare an Onsite Emergency Control
plan with following information.
• Risk Analysis.
• Safety and Environmental Audit
• Worst case scenario.
• List of inventories.
• Hazard Identification
• Material safety data sheets
• Plant layout with escape routes
• Demographic and geographic situation.
• Location of Fire hydrants
• Distances between the processes and facilities in plant and in
immediate vicinity of plant be logged and determined in terms of time
and distance.
• Evacuation procedure
• Emergency control organisation structure
• Responsible personnel list with addresses and telephone numbers.
• Available emergency control facilities.
2. An effort has to be made to dovetail Onsite plan to Off-Site plan.
3. Such plan should be available in the designated Emergency Control
Centre of the factory, Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health, Fire
Brigade, Police, District/Corporation Officials and Collector and should
be updated periodically.
4. Training sessions and mock drills in First Aid, Fire Fighting, Evacuation,
First Responder. Regular testing of plants processes should be conducted
to appraise and train different levels of employees in emergency control.
During An Emergency :
1. During an emergency, assistance should be sought from the immediate
neighbouring MARG Member/s enlisted zonewise having appropriate expertise
as per the guidelines and equipments, gadgets for controlling situation
and Statutory Authorities simultaneously.
2. All the personnel in each factory who are responders for emergency
must be made aware about the availability of such MARG assistance and
methods of getting it.
3. Assisting organisation must be properly briefed by the unit seeking
the assistance about the nature of emergency, materials involved and meteorology
conditions (Wind direction), precise nature of help required to ensure
proper response.
4. Assistance can be requested in the form of either equipment or expertise
or both with expert operating personnel.
5. In case of equipment received from assisting organisation
• It must be properly used
• Returned promptly
• In case of damage it should be repaired from approved agency and
returned in working condition.
• Consumables should be replaced/reimbursed.
6. When a MARG member is extending help to Non-MARG member or other organisation
make sure that
• Appropriate equipment tested for the purpose is given.
• If your personnel are attending the emergencies ensure that they
are well-versed and have worked under such a situation and are able to
give guidance.
• The situation and the materials involved are being briefed to
you correctly.
• The guidance about plants, processes and materials involved is
available on the spot from the organisation receiving the assistance
7. It is understood that in case of any accident to any personnel while
assisting, organisation that is receiving help extend its co-operation
in bearing a reasonable part of expenses, beyond that covered by an insurance
policy.
8. Following sequence of action is recommended while seeking help
• First Deploy internal resources.
• Inform civic Fire Brigade and get their assistance. Inform the
Statutory Authorities, keep appropriate MARG member in your zone/neighbourhood
alerted about the emergency.
• If found necessary request help from the MARG member to control
specific situation for which it has got equipment and expertise.
• Convey clearly what you want, expertise, equipment or both and
exact nature of need.
• Keep other MARG member in your zone alerted to render any further
assistance, if the situation so demands.
General :
• Each organisation is primarily responsible for keeping its plants
in safe conditions, identifying, assessing, minimising and eliminating
hazards and risk, maintaining necessary equipment for special kinds of
risks that the organisation might be facing and training its personnel
for emergency response and control.
• It may seek help from others in the MARG by way of equipment,
expertise and special materials, but this is only complementary to its
own arrangements and commitment to safety and emergency control.
• Mutual Aid and Response is sought only when your own efforts
seems to be inadequate to meet the demand of the situation and that of
civic response group is either not adequate or enough.
