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 view 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

	pre-planning a proper sequence of response actions,
	allocation of responsibilities to the participating agencies,
	developing codes and standard operating procedures for various departments and relief agencies involved.
	inventory of existing facilities and resources
	mechanisms for effective management of resources
	co-ordination of all relief activities including those of NGOs to ensure a coordinated and effective response.
	Co-ordination with the State response machinery for appropriate support
	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.

OVERVIEW OF WARDHA DISTRICT

Location

	Wardha district is located on the north-eastern side of Maharashtra state. The district formed part of the Nagpur district till 1962 ; subsequently it was made a separate district.
	Wardha district lies between 20° 18’ North and 21° 21’ North latitudes and 78° 4’ East to 79° 15’ east longitudes.
	It is bounded on the west and north by Amravati district on the south by Yavatmal district, on the south east by Chandrapur district and on the east by Nagpur district.

Area and Administrative Divisions

	Wardha district is a part of the Nagpur Revenue division along with Bhandara, Gadchiroli, Chandrapur and Nagpur.
	The district covers an area of 6309 sq. km.

For administrative convenience the district has been subdivided into three subdivisions which are further divided into tahsils as outlined below :

There are 1387 villages, 507 Gram Panchayats and 6 Municipal towns in the district.

Salient Physical Features and Land Use Patterns

	The physiographic features of the district can be organised in to three distinct geographical units: The uplands of the north and north east with Talegaon plateau The narrow Arvi plains to the west of the first unit The Wardha - Hinganghat plains
	The north and east hilly part of the district is a part of the Satpura spur projecting southwards. This hilly part slopes on three sides - west, south and north - to merge in to the Wardha valley. This descent to the south is through a series of terraces, at least three of which are distinctly recognisable - one at 500m, another at 400m and the third at 200 - 350m contour levels. The gradient is much steeper on the western slopes and the northern slopes.
	The Arvi plains are a narrow, north to south elongated strip, about 70 km long and 6 to 8 km wide along the western boundary of the Arvi sub division. They are adjoining the Wardha valley, with the general elevation being 300 to 350 m and an undulating rolling topography.
	The whole of the Hinganghat Subdivision and the southern two thirds of the Wardha subdivision from a fertile riverine plain draining and sloping gently southwards towards the Wardha river. The land falls from about 300m to 350 m level in the north to about 220 m in the south.
	The soil cover in the district is classified in four main classes : Kali (rich black soil) Morand (black to dark brown soil) Kharadi (poor and shallow dark black soil mixed with sand) Bardi (hilly land strewn with boulders)
	The Arvi lowlands are covered by kali soil with a high clay percentage in the area adjacent to Wardha river and by grey-black morand soils away from the river and nearer to the foothills. The soils of the Arvi lowlands are considered to be the most fertile in the entire district and perhaps in the entire Vidarbha region.
	The major land use category in the district is agriculture. Kharif crops are widespread in the southern part comprising the tahsils of Samudrapur, Hinganghat, Wardha and Deoli.
	In the northern tahsils of Ashti, Arvi, Karanja, and Selu, agriculture and forest coverage occupy more or less equal areas.
	A significantly large area under orchards is found in Hinganghat tahsil, with smaller patches in Samudrapur and Arvi tahsils.
	Deciduous forest is spread noticeably in Selu, Karnaja and Arvi tahsils with degraded forest around the fringes.
	The land use / land cover statistics for Wardha district are as under :

Geology And Geomorphology

	The geology of Wardha district basically consists of Deccan Trap lava flows with some patches of Gondwana formations, Lametas and the alluvium along the major river courses.
	The generalised geological succession is as follows :
	Age Formation Lithology Recent Alluvium Silt, sand and gravels Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Deccan Trap Massive and vesicular basalt Upper Cretaceous Lameta Group Sandstone and Limestone Carboniferous to Lower Permian Gondwana Super Group Sandstone and Shale
	The sedimentary rocks of the Gondwana Super Group are seen to occur as inlayers in the eastern extremity of the district.
	A small patch of Lametas occur in the east - southeast art of the district.
	The Deccan Traps cover about 95% of the area and comprise rocks of basaltic composition.
	The alluvial deposits are restricted to the banks of the Wardha river and it’s tributaries. The thickness is reported to be 15-20m.
	The prominent trend of lineaments is NW-SE. The Wardha and Pothara rivers seem to be structurally controlled ; there is a probable ENE-WSW shear zone south of Hinganghat.
	The various landforms in the district are of three types : Structural, Denudational and Fluvial.
	Dissected Basaltic Plateau (Highly, Moderately or Slightly Dissected) is a major geomorphic unit and characterised by flat topped hills, terraced features.
	Denudational hills comprise Gondwana group of rocks and occur as low relief hills east of Samudrapur.
	Alluvial plains along the river Wardha and it’s tributaries are gently sloping.

River Systems And Dams

	The Wardha is the most important river in the district. It rises in the Multai plateau of the Satpura ranges and flows all along the northern and western boundaries of the district.
	The other important river in the district is the Venna, which flows from adjoining Nagpur district to the Hinganghat tahsil to merge with the Wardha river.
	Yashoda, Venna and Bakli are the main tributaries of the Wardha river.
	Other rivers in the district are Pothra, Bor, Dhom and Kar, which remain generally dry during the summer but turn into furious torrents during the rainy season and pose a threat of flood to nearby villages.
	The overall drainage pattern is dendritic to sub-dendritic.
	There are in all 39 watersheds ; the entire district s included in the Wardha river sub-basin of the Godavari Basin.
	There is no major dam in the district.
	The following is the list of medium and minor dams (irrigation projects) in the district :

Fires

	The rural areas of Wardha are prone to fires, especially in godowns where cotton is stocked.
	In the case of big fires, the Central Ammunition Depot, Pulgaon, the Nagpur Corporation, Home Guards, the concerned gram panchayats and the defence personnel stationed at Pulgaon will be alerted and their help sought.
	For handling the fires, the trucks, tippers and tractors are available with the local administration, fire brigade and the Public Works and Irrigation Departments.

Earthquakes

There are several lineaments in several parts of Maharashtra. Even though seismic activity is felt only in some parts of Maharashtra, it is felt that earthquakes are not predictable about their occurrence. The tremors taking place in Khandwa region of Madhya Pradesh may have implications of the likelihood of an earthquake which may affect the adjoining Vidarbha region. The district administration of Wardha has to be prepared in such a likelihood.

The preparedness of the district administration in the case of earthquakes depends to a very large extent on the efficiency of the early warning systems and close monitoring of the seismic activity in the region.

Govt. has placed funds at the disposal of Collector, Wardha and same was placed at the disposal of SDOs & Tahsildars of this district for giving relief to the sufferers and also for incurring expenditures on the work of rehabilitation. Relief was granted from C.M. relief fund to the extent of 8 lakhs.

* Organizational Structure evolved to manage the emergency specify the key departments involved :-

Prior to offset of monsoon, every year meeting is called of all the depts. concerned for taking all precautionary measures in respect of probable floods. In 1994-95 the excess water was released by the Irrigation dept. from Upper Wardha dam located near Morshi of Amravati district. However on receiving intimation, the staff Revenue, Police, P.W.D., Z.P. etc. were informed to shift the people from flood prone area to the safer places and to give all relief.

* Nature of support from the State and Central authorities :-

From State government :- As mentioned above financial assistants and shelter was given to the flood victims. Ten villages including Antarodh, Wadgaon (Pande), Savarkheda, Wadhona (Thakre), Harishwada and 5 others in Arvi taluka were encircled by flood water. Hence 10000 persons were shifted to safer places and transit camps provided for flood sufferers.

From Central government :- Warning system by the Meteorological Department. 350 persons of villages Deorwada and Wadgaon were rescued by civil authorities by using floating tubes. One Helicopter of the Indian Airforce was deployed on 7th Sep. 94 for dropping the flood packets in the marooned villages. Army personnel from CAD Pulgaon rescued the people from the marooned villages.

* Methods used for mobilizing resources, NGO/Community Response :-

The villagers volunteered to give help and relief to the persons in Tempo Tracks.

* Legal or Procedural bottlenecks experienced in managing the situation. :- Nil

* Lessons learnt by officials and communities in dealing with disaster along with specific suggestions for improving procedures :-

Lessons learnt : The water from Dam site may be released slowly from the start of heavy rains.

Suggestions : All the department of State and Central which have the resources and technical manpower should be involved in the preparation of Master Action Plan for meeting any type of hazard. The possibility of hazards has increased due to following reasons.

1) Underground construction of major dams and release of water at the time of heavy continuous rain so as to save the dam
2) Heavy traffic on roads
3) Rapid industrialisation particularly mixing chemicals and hazardous materials.
The urban and rural people needs to be educated in case of any hazard. Youth should be involved to give training in regular seminars, workshops etc. Media, Doordarshan, All India radio and newspapers may be used to create Disaster awareness in the masses. The unauthorised construction in low line areas within blue zone of the rivers, Nallahs needs to be curbed, villages in blue zone should be shifted to the safer sites.
