Disaster Response Plan
4
1. Disaster Response Based on Level of Disaster Declaration of disaster and activation of response and relief activities is based on
the severity of disaster. To do so, first priority is to determine whether the
resources are sufficient to cope with the severity if disaster or not. If the situation
is beyond the coping capacity of community in the affected area then a disaster
shall be declared at different levels. As per the National Disaster Management
Authority guidelines, these scenarios are of 4 levels that are Level 0 (L0), Level 1
(L1), Level 2 (L2) and Level (L3).
1.1. Level 0
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the
planning stage where plans at all levels from community to the state shall be put in
place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory update
for response activities will be carried out during this time.
1.2. Level 1
L1 specifies disasters that are localized. One or few sectors/areas Mandalss of
activity are affected. It can be managed at the district level, however, the state
and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. The following
actions required to be taken during this level.

1.3. Level 2
L2 specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation
of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale and complexity that significant external
assistance and resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the
engagement of a wide range of humanitarian actors. In L2, the district level
resources are insufficient; however the disaster can be managed with state-level
resources.

L3 disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state
may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the
central government for reinstating the state and district machinery. Humanitarian
needs are of a sufficiently large scale that significant external assistance and
resources are required. Multi-sectoral response is needed with the engagement of a
wide range of international humanitarian actors also.

2. Activation of Response The disaster response plan is activated shortly after the receipt of an early warning
or on the information of an emergency. Activating the response plan means setting
in motion command, coordination, and management of the situation. The activities
described in the following standard operating procedures (SOPs) are to be initiated
immediately to ensure that loss and damage are minimized. One SOP is in the case
where early warning is available, the other when there is no early warning, thus the
activation of the response depends on the type of the hazard and its impact.
2.1. Scenario 1 – With Early Warning
1) Nodal agencies responsible for forecasting extreme weather events (like flood
and cyclone) issue alerts and warnings accordingly to the District Emergency
Operation Centre, which can be directly or via State Emergency Operation Centre.
2) As soon as alerts and warnings have been received, the District Emergency
Operation Centre has to be fully activated with minimum 3 staff member,
communication system such as telephone, mobile phones, VHF, radio, wireless etc.
Maintain following;
- Maps of highly vulnerable panchayats
- List of hospitals with their contact number
- Contact number of line department
- Call log register
3) First and foremost task is informing the community likely to be affected by the
disaster through the warning system set in place (the process of ensuring that
warning information is disseminated to the communities is explained further in the
Information Dissemination section).
4) The District Emergency Operation Centre activates the district/sub-
division/Mandals level administration to deploy all necessary manpower and
resources to respond to the situation.
5) The District Collector calls upon the District Crisis Management Group (explained
under the section District Crisis Management Group) to proceed with the necessary
pre-emptive measures, which may include people’s evacuation from risky areas. A
comprehensive Standing Order, listing all necessary pre-emptive measures based on
the warning, is then prepared.
6) Thereafter, follow up action has to be undertaken by all concerned at all levels,
encompassing the District Emergency Operation Centre and the sections involved in
the Incidence Response System.

3. Information Dissemination
3.1. Process
The information dissemination is a system for the district administration to
communicate early warning to communities in the vulnerable panchayats. Based on
the type of hazard, the District Collector is responsible to send a warning to the
specific areas at risk (please refer to the HVCA Report). Therefore, the information
dissemination flows like that – the District Collector (DC) and the Joint District
Collector communicate the MPDO and Tehsildars, who, in its turn, ensure that the
early warning information is disseminated to the communities through the Village
Secretaries.
Emergency Warning & Information Dissemination
Early Warning System The availability of early warning system is a must before early warning message could be disseminate
to the people till the last mile. Thus for every type of disaster there is an agency designated with
the responsibility of keeping track of developments in respect of specific hazards and inform the
designated authorities/agencies at the district level about the impending disaster. Nodal agencies
for early warning of different natural hazards are:
Disaster Agency
Floods Central Water Commission (CWC)
Drought Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)
Heat & Cold Waves Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)
Cyclone Indian Meteorological Department
Information Dissemination
The dissemination of information is the most critical function in order to give early
warning to the district administration to put them on high alert to prepare for
response and to alert the community. It has to be fast in order to give reasonable
amount of time for communities to prepare for any eventuality. Due consideration
has to be given to the points mentioned below before sending across the
information.
1. Information dissemination will be done to all the important stakeholders (as given
below in the information dissemination format) at the Panchayat level in rural areas
DC JDCTehsildars/
MPDOsVillage Secretary
/ Panchayats
18
and Nagar Parishad and Nagar Panchayat level in urban areas for early warning
communication.
2. Making use of the fastest means to communicate the message in the most lucid
manner so as to prevent spread of rumour and panic among the masses.
Bulk Voice SMS Service is the best means of communication to large masses without
any effort and within no time. A voice recorded message from the District Collector
from his/her official number shall be sent to the database of numbers identified for
information dissemination. A number of private parties deliver Bulk Voice SMS
service at very low cost.
3. The communication can be done to all the identified stakeholders of the district,
Mandals and panchayat depending on the possibility of the coverage of the disaster.
4. All the members identified for information dissemination must ensure spreading
warning information irrespective of the time of the day and their availability in their
panchayats / nagarparishad / nagar panchayat.
In the event where the warning is lifted by the concerned department for the respective
hazard, another communication removing the warning must be made by the District
Collector to the community following the same process.
Information Dissemination Plan
Information Dissemination Plan for the District Administration
The contact details of all the POCs of Emergency Support Functions shall be
maintained by the DEOC. The communication shall be made with the permission of
RO (District Collector) to become available for District CMG meeting.

3.2. Mechanism
A targeted communication of quick warning can be done through Bulk Voice SMS
Service or Mass Messaging Service. It is an alternative communication system at low
cost that provides a good way of informing large masses at minimum effort, as the
DC records a voice message from his/her official number and send it to the previous
set numbers database.
Another effective way to spread the information and warning, as well as to raise
awareness among the population of the district, is to set community radios in the
Mandalss. These radios are to be managed by the community itself, representing an
important component for their empowerment. Thus, whenever a warning is
necessary, communicating it through community radios ensure that the message is
quickly widespread.
Finally, as explained later in the section about Government-NGO Coordination, the
NGOs may play a key role in the task of spreading an early message to a certain
amount of villages/Mandalss.
4. District Emergency Operation Centre The role of the District Emergency Operation Centre during an emergency/disaster
response can be summarized in the activities detailed in the table below.
21
4.1. Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) during Response
Role of EOC during Emergency Response
1. On receipt of information (either from National or State Emergency Operation
Centres, early warning agencies, or field functionaries of sub-divisions or Mandlas),
the District Emergency Operation Centre has to be activated fully as per laid down
protocol.
2. The District Emergency Operation Centre issues then alerts/warnings to all
designated authorities at district, sub-division and Mandal level and elected
representatives at the panchayat level as per Information Dissemination previously
described. Depending on severity, the information may also be communicated to
following actors: Individuals/agencies.
a) District Collector, Nellore
b) Incidence Response Team
c) Line departments, Nellore
d) Members of the District Disaster Management Authority, Nellore
e) Health centers at the disaster site
f) District Emergency Operation Centre in nearby districts
g) State Emergency Operation Centre and State Disaster Management Authority
h) Member of Legislative Assembly and Member of Parliament of affected areas
3. The District Emergency Operation Centre send the FIR (as previously detailed) to
the State and National Emergency Operation Centres. Thereafter, daily reports are
sent till situation normalizes. Daily situation Report (Refer Annexure )
4. The District Emergency Operation Centre collects all relevant information and
appraises the status to designated decision making authorities.
5. The District Emergency Operation Centre is responsible to maintain all records and
documents such as call log, maintain records of information received from field as
well as various authorities related to the response.
6. Finally, the District Emergency Operation Centre constantly communicates with
any Mobile Emergency Operation Centre or similar and the Incident Commander as
per Incidence Response System.

In the table below, one can find the communication network of each of the
stakeholders, its location, and contact details. Worth emphasizing is that Nellore
does not have a formal Disaster Emergency Operation Centre; therefore, one of the
measures to be undertaken by the District Disaster Management Authority towards
disaster risk reduction is the establishment of year-round operational Disaster
Emergency Operation Centre.

5. First Information Report The First Information Report (FIR) is a single report that describes immediate loss
as well as immediate needs. It supports in the analysis of the situation and to get a
quick response from the state and national authorities, if required. In the
occurrence of a natural calamity, the FIR needs to be collected in a specific format
in order to accurately understand the scale and intensity of the impact on the
population, and then sent to the State Emergency Operation Center (SEOC). The FIR
can be prepared by local authorities at the panchayat level and then forwarded to
the DC.

6. District Crisis Management Group Right after the incidence of a disaster, the District Crisis Management Group,
chaired by the District Collector, gathers together for a meeting that is held at the
backdrop of the FIR outputs. The decisions are then based on these preliminary
findings and may involve MP Development Officers, Tehsildars, and functionaries
associated to the Incidence Response System according to the type of hazard. At
this point, the District Collector requests the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment
to be performed in order to guide further analysis and arrangements (see below).
The logistical responses in an emergency may be divided into providing for limited
needs, such as providing critical medical items, communications equipment, repair
items for water supply, sanitation, electrical power, etc., and moving bulk
commodities, such as food and shelter or even people themselves. It is important to
bear in mind that there are a number of other factors that pose constraints on
logistics, such as pre-existing logistics infrastructure, political factors, the sheer
number of humanitarian actors, the damage caused by the disaster, and sometimes
the security environment.

7. Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment The Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment is critical for decision makers in order for
them to plan the emergency response in the most appropriate and effective manner.
It includes mobilizing resources and deploying responders in areas that need urgent
actions as needed to minimize/avoid loss of lives. The format of this assessment is
found in detail below.

9. Incident Response System The Incident Response System (IRS) is one of the most critical components of the
phase of emergency response. This system adopts both top-down and bottom-up
approach to make the responses effective, where top administrative officers
prepare strategies and make plans, while also ensuring requisition of required
resources, manpower, equipments and the support of various inter-disciplinary
agencies. On the other side, the on-field response personnel also provide feedback
to officers designated for the purpose to help improvise the response strategies.
The activation of IRS in the district is important to prepare the entire district
administration to respond to a certain disaster in a coordinated manner. In view of
this, the IRS for Nellore was agreed during the consultations performed on field and
officials were appointed for each position.
In order to easily understand the IRS of Nellore, following is the model IRS structure
as defined by guidelines issued by the National Disaster Management Authority. In
sum, the command staff is comprised of the Incident Commander, Information &
Media Officer, Safety Officer, and Liaison Officer. The general staff encompasses
three sections – operations, planning, and logistics –, each of which being comprised
of various groups and units.
38
9.1. Nellore Incident Response System
The IRS of Nellore is presented below along with the description of various positions and the respective officials in the
district holding each of them.

9.3. General staff – major responsibilities
Each one has a vital role for efficient response; however, depending upon the
nature and requirements of the incident, they may be or not be activated. Each
of these functional areas can also be expanded as needed into additional
organizational units with further delegation of authority.
Operations Section, Nellore
The Operations Section deals with all types of field level tactical operations
directly applicable to the management of an incident. This section is headed by
an Operation Section Chief. In addition, a deputy may be appointed to assist the

44
10. Severe Occurrences Response Coordination Efforts should be directed to a variety of functions such as provision of food, medical
services, transportation, electricity and temporary shelters. Therefore, government
should agree on the roles of each institution to best perform the response. For
instance, in the aftermath of the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, it was decided that the
police would take up the task of rescue operations and the revenue and panchayat
administration would concentrate on providing medical assistance and relief. In this
sense, having a disaster management plan prepared in advance is of fundamental
importance.
At District Level:
There should be a unified command of DDMA for the entire gamut of disasters. The
Crisis Management Group of the district should be made broader based by involving
officers from the Departments in charge of the various disasters like Labour
Department for Chemical disasters, Irrigation for Floods, Local Self Government and
PWD for Earthquake, Health for Epidemics etc. Further, the Fire Services and Civil
Defence should be integrated with the DDMA, Nellore as it is the nucleus of all
disaster management activities.
At State Level:
The Relief Commissioner should be designated as the Additional CEO of the SDMA
and his Secretariat may be suitably expanded to include subject matter specialists
keeping in view the hazard profile of the State.
- The Relief Commissioner should also be designated as the Member Secretary of the
SEC to assist the Chief Secretary in the day to day functioning of SDMA and SEC.
- An Advisory Committee of Experts based on the disaster profile of individual State
needs should be constituted, which shall assist SDMA in preparation of action plan,
SOPs, formulate projects 25 and in the monitoring of action plan in respect of the
various disasters. In addition to this, subject specific Sub- Committees may also be
constituted to look into different aspects of disaster.
- Head of SDRF should be included as a member of SEC.
- SDMA should undertake an exercise of assessing its capacity and functional needs.
Accordingly, the SDMA may be reorganized and strengthened with more professional
human resources for its day to day working.
- SDMA should have access to State Disaster Response Fund and State Mitigation Fund
in accordance with the guidelines framed for these funds
At National Level:
45
The Cabinet Secretary who heads the Crisis Management Group at the national level
should also be made an ex-officio member of NDMA. Further, as the Crisis
Management Group is headed by the Cabinet Secretary, it is recommended that the
National Executive Committee (NEC) which is essentially a Committee of
Secretaries, and is enjoined upon to assist the National Disaster Management
Authority, should also be headed by the Cabinet Secretary with Home Secretary as
the Vice Chairman and the Secretary, NDMA as its Member Secretary. This will help
in better coordination amongst various departments. Director General, NDRF should
be included as a member of NEC. Institutionally, it should be ensured that the NEC
meets at least once in a quarter, as specified in the rules, to monitor all programs
related to disaster management as well as to see that the Disaster Management
Plans of the Ministries/Departments are in place and functional. In accordance with
section 7 of the Disaster Management Act, NDMA should seek advice from the
Advisory Committee consisting of experts in the field of disaster management and
having practical experience of disaster management at the national, state or district
level on various aspects of disaster management. In addition, subject specific Sub-
Committees may be constituted to look into the different aspects of disaster
management in respect of the specific disasters, helping preparation of action plan
and monitoring of gaps in implementation.
10.1. General Guidelines
Stakeholders
Private provisions should be considered and arranged accordingly. E.g. after the
Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, Mother Dairy was requested to supply milk.
Activities by NGOs should be coordinated with and facilitated by the local
government. NGOs have the expertise and may help in different areas such as
truckloads with certain provisions (like mineral water; milk powder, tea and coffee;
blankets and shelter materials; and generator and diesel) and medical care.
Control Room, Nellore
Control rooms should start functioning in different places according to pre-
established infrastructure in the district and to the severity of the disaster. These
places may involve the fire brigade, the municipal corporation, police station, or
other places.
Satellite telephone should be operative and in place in the district and state control
rooms, and backed by the police wireless as well.
A wireless set should be installed in the district Collector’s office to communicate
with the police control room.
46
If the building has faced severe damage, the Very High Frequency (VHF) set in the
control room should be immediately removed, placed on a table outside and a
temporary control room set up in the open.
Response Equipments
Search and rescue operations need a large number of equipment such as bulldozers,
cranes, concrete cutters, gas cutters, JCBs (earth-moving machinery), trucks, and
Poklanes. Efforts have to be made to mobilize them from any sources that are
available.
Equipment such as excavators and dumpers may be mobilized through civil
contractors. The decision involves the District Collector, the Superintendent of
Police and the Executive Engineer, Roads and Buildings, or others.
Equipment such as life sensors and sniffer dogs bring more effectiveness to rescue
operations.
Logistical struggles may arise depending on the severity of the disaster. Getting the
necessary equipments may be a hard task if the owners are themselves affected and
if it is difficult to locate drivers for vehicles to move the equipment.
The District Authority may procure equipments from neighboring cities or states.
Equipment may also be requisitioned from Public Sector Undertakings like the Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation, government departments (such as the irrigation
department, roads and buildings department), and private operators.
If the disaster brings severe damage to a wide geographical area, a complex problem
of logistics may arise – mobilizing and transporting a large number of heavy
equipment and other materials to various places turns to be a difficult task.
Rescue Teams, Nellore
In the aftermath of a disaster, people may gather near the control room, desperately
asking for rescue teams. It is paramount that district officers are able to respond
providing trained people equipped with adequate material and resource to meet the
needs.
Additionally, rescue teams from various countries and international organizations –
usually very well-equipped and self-sufficient – may arrive to help. It is important
that the district coordinate accordingly.
The army personnel and other government agencies may be engaged in the rescue
operations. This topic is detailed below.
Medical Services, Nellore
47
A medical camp should be set at a big place depending on the impacts of the
disaster, as medical centres may get damaged and small hospitals may soon get
overwhelmed.
Enterprising private doctors may be asked to or voluntarily initiate medical relief
activities in the medical camp (first-aid and preliminary treatment). The Chief
District Medical Officer should liaise with private doctors of the district.
The facilities of medical camp should be improved whenever possible and according
to the damages faced. For instance, after the earthquake in Gujarat, 2001, the
decision was taken to construct a pre-fabricated structure for the hospital. Four
days after, the first Mandals of the pre-fabricated structure of the hospital was made
functional with all the necessary equipment.
Even if there is no dearth of doctors, the administration should be attentive to
possible shortage of paramedics and surgical instruments. Teams of doctors who
arrive in disaster-struck areas should come well equipped with paramedical staff,
equipment and food.
The district administration should concentrate its efforts to provide medical
supplies. In case of a dearth of medicines, medical stores may be opened and
supplies diverted to the ground (medical camp).
In order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics, an elaborate system of surveillance
should be instituted throughout the affected area. Expert teams from the National
Institute of Communicable Diseases can prescribe preventive measures.

Relief
An important issue is the supply of relief materials and arrangement for temporary
shelters (tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheets), especially during the winter if this
season is severe in the affected areas.
These shelters may be run either fully by the government or by NGOs.
56
The government should keep in mind that even those whose houses had not been
severely damaged may be too scared to sleep inside buildings and so prefer to sleep
outside. In this case, the government has to purchase a great number of tents and
other temporary sheds within a short time.
Restoration of Basic Infrastructure
The power system is prone to fail due to a strong disaster. If this is the case,
generator sets may be procured for lighting (especially the medical camp).
One should keep in mind that if there is no electricity, or a shortage of, important
buildings and shops may not be operative, such as petrol/diesel outlets.
After the Gujarat Earthquake, 2001, the Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB) deployed
220 engineers and skilled staff in the affected areas for restoration of the power
supply. By 5 February 2001, i.e., 10 days after the earthquake, 80 per cent of the
services were restored.
The water supply may also be restored in case it gets damaged. Measure to supply
water such as through tankers and repair of pipelines should be undertaken
immediately.
10.2. Coordination with State and National Levels
To illustrate the coordination between district and state with the national
government, few examples of how the response programme was handled in the
context of Gujarat after the earthquake in 2011 are provided below:
The Gujarat state government was in constant touch with the Government of India,
right from the beginning.
The armed forces organized large-scale rescue efforts, including 8 engineering
regiments, 36 columns, 48 IAF aircrafts/helicopters and 953 sorties.
The Border Security Force (BSF), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Rapid
Action Force (RAF) participated in a big way. Over 5,000 trucks, cranes, bulldozers
and gas cutters etc., were mobilized for the rescue efforts.
In the evening of the day the earthquake hit, Engineers from the Department of
Telecommunications (DOT) with satellite phones and India Meteorological
Department (IMD) officials with seismographic equipment went to Bhuj
accompanying the Additional Central Relief Commissioner and a team of 30 doctors
with medical equipment and medicine.
The Air Force pressed into service six IL-76, 18 AN-32, four Avros, four Dorniers and
16 helicopters. They made 953 sorties, carrying relief materials, tents, equipment,
food items, rescue teams and injured persons.
57
11. Media Management The coordination between the District Administration and media has to be
maintained both during and after a disaster. During the response phase it is
especially important as it helps to ensure that communities and people in the district
are better aware about the situation and interventions being made by the
administration. The following will be performed by the Information and Media
Officer as per responsibilities described in the IRS section:
Organize media briefing by senior officer in-charge.
Provide graphic and statistical details to the extent possible.
Organize visits to shelters, relief and various activity camps.
Organize briefing on daily basis towards the end of the day.
Facilitate media personnel in their interaction with other emergency functionaries,
if possible.
Prepare and release information about the incident to the media agencies and
others
with the approval of IC;
Jot down decisions taken and directions issued in case of sudden disasters when the
IMT has not been fully activated and hand it over to the PS on its activation for
incorporation in the IAP;
Ask for additional personnel support depending on the scale of incident and
workload;
Monitor and review various media reports regarding the incident that may be useful
for incident planning;
Organise IAP meetings as directed by the IC or when required;
Coordinate with IMD to collect weather information and disseminate it to all
concerned;
Maintain record of various activities performed and
Perform such other duties as assigned by IC.

12. Government-NGO Coordination The role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) is crucial during all phases of
disaster management and such involvement is emphasized in the Disaster
Management Act, 2005. When it comes to disaster response, the District Disaster
Management Authority may invite NGOs to participate in the coordination and
follow-up meetings, in order to ensure that their work will be aligned with the
59
priority actions and that it will reach all affected people/areas. In general, the role
of NGOs and the coordination between government and NGOs is detailed below1.
Early Warning
The District Disaster Management Authority may assign NGOs to be responsible for
communicating the early warning messages to a set of villages, which may be done
through village-level volunteers groups. Accordingly, the NGOs would assist the local
administration in evacuating people, livestock, etc.
Search and Rescue
Even before specialized search and teams reach the affected site, the communities
are themselves able to act as immediate responders and NGOs may support them to
undertake search and rescue operations by providing equipment, tools, and skilled
personnel.
First Aid
In liaison with the public health department, NGOs may give or support the medical
care to the affected population by establishing temporary dispensaries or health
centers with qualified medical professionals. Additionally, NGOs may share with the
district administration/response teams information about the most vulnerable
groups such as children, elderly, pregnant women, disabled, etc.
Shelter and Relief Camp
NGOs may support the district administration in managing the shelters or relief
camps in order to ensure proper care to the evacuated community members.
Relief Distribution
As per the national guideline on the role of NGOs in disaster management, the
coordination between government and NGOs “is pivotal to ensure effective and
systematic distribution of relief materials to the affected community”. In this
regard, NGOs may participate in the coordination of relief distribution by deploying
volunteers at the distribution centers or, in consultation with the district
administration, may also distribute relief materials from their own sources.

Coordination In the initial phase of the relief
distribution process there has to be a
differentiation of roles and
responsibilities between the involved
stakeholders, which is also required in
order to identify the potential for
collaboration and coordination among
the government institutions and
NGO's. This is essential for the
implementation of the relief
mechanism in the district and to
communicate the plan with the local
population and local authority. It will
also help to identify the potential to

Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan

Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan
1. From Response to Recovery According to the terminology by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk
Reduction (UNISDR), while response is the ‘provision of emergency services and
public assistance during or immediately after a disaster’2, the ‘division between the
response stage and the subsequent recovery stage is not clear-cut’. Some activities
start during the response stage and go beyond to the relief one. Additionally, stating
when the response has finished is more related to certain conditions met, rather
than how much time has passed since it started. Some measures help to indicate
when the district is moving towards the recovery3:
• life-saving efforts, such as Search and Rescue, are nearing completion;
• emergency social services and mass care are established (health, shelter, food and
water) in the impact area;
• initial assessment of damage complete for critical infrastructure including roads,
railways, airports, buildings and systems;
• services restored to essential critical infrastructure;
• establishment of staging areas with movement of relief supplies, response personnel
and other critical resources and goods into the impact area;
• Planning for recovery underway and key elements are ready to or are activated; etc.
The recovery stage encompasses the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the
district and ‘should be based on pre-existing strategies and policies that facilitate
clear institutional responsibilities for recovery action and enable public
participation’4. The importance of the recovery lies in the valuable opportunity that
it holds for building back better or, in other words, implementing measures to
reduce the disaster risk to lower levels than previously. In view of this, the recovery
is ‘the restoration, and improvement where appropriate, of facilities, livelihoods
and living conditions of disaster-affected communities’.

72
The Recovery Plan is, therefore, focused on building back better by putting in place
a coordination mechanism for the activities that need to be performed from over a
short-term to medium/long-term recovery period.
2. Detailed Damage and Loss Assessment Damage and Loss assessment is a critical component to identify what is the
extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy. This component lays
the foundation for the complete reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery
phase.

4. Immediate Recovery The Damage and Loss Assessment is the first and critical component to identify what
is the extent of recovery required to be done to bring normalcy to the district. This
component lays the foundation for setting the priorities of the recovery stage (see
the annexure for an example of format of the assessment).
The immediate or short-term recovery goes from a day to a month, depending upon
the extent of the disaster, the damage caused, and the activities necessary to
overcome the situation. Then, based on the findings from the Damage and Loss
Assessment, the district administration along with the line departments and
external supporting agencies (e.g. NGOs, contractors, etc.) has to define a plan for
78
the recovery, covering the timeline for completion and the strategies and activities
to be performed.
Three are the most important elements of the recovery stage and to which the
district administration should focus on: infrastructure, social, economic. They are
related to health and educational facilities, water, drainages and sanitation
facilities, electricity, transportation and connectivity, etc. Hereafter, each one of
them is explained along with the actions that are required to complete the phase of
immediate recovery.
4.1. Infrastructure recovery
This element represents the restoration of utility and critical services within the
district.
Water supply
For affected habitation in rural areas, Public Health Engineering Department has to
work to restore water supply units that were identified as dysfunctional during the
Damage and Loss Assessment exercise.
Power
The Energy Department have to restore the power lines in areas where damage was
reported. The restoration of critical buildings such as hospitals, health centers and
administrative buildings is to be prioritized. Meanwhile these buildings are under
repair, generator sets should be made available.
Telecommunication
Disrupted lines of telecommunication links have to be repaired on highest priority by
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and other private telecom agencies to restore
the connectivity of the district/area affected.
Critical lifeline buildings
Lifeline buildings are those necessary to keep the administrative machinery or any
emergency centres functioning during a disaster and despite the damages inflicted by
it. Hospitals, schools, Anganwadi centres, offices of line departments and district
administration are examples of critical lifeline buildings and that should be
retrofitted or reconstructed after throughout assessment.
Roads and bridges
The Public Works Department (Road Construction Department) and the National
Highways Authority of India should list down the roads and bridges that need repair
and those requiring complete reconstruction. Based on that, the priority projects are
appointed to guide the plan for recovery. Critical roads and bridges open access to
79
health centers in rural areas, vulnerable groups in remote areas, police stations and
outposts, etc.
Households
It involves the identification of houses that were damaged by the disaster or that are
vulnerable to secondary incidents associated to the major impact. It is essential that
measures be taken accordingly, whether it is relocation, retrofitting, or
reconstruction.
Owner-Driven Approach: the owner-driven approach supports the owners to design
houses as per their needs giving them a sense of ownership, while the administrative
costs are reduced and the district can focus on proper monitoring.
Disaster resilient construction
The District Disaster Management may constitute a committee to ensure that
technical requirements for disaster resilient housing are met during the
reconstruction. This committee would assist the multi-hazard resilient design,
monitor the process of reconstruction, and ensure that disaster resilient techniques
are incorporated in various schemes and development projects. Funds under schemes
such as Indira AwaasYojana and Housing Schemes for Scheduled Castes and Denotified
Tribes can be used for reconstruction.
4.2. Social recovery
The social recovery is paramount as it deals directly with the lives of those affected
by the disaster. Their needs should be recognized and measures undertaken
accordingly. Bringing normalcy to their lives is required for engaging them in the
process of building back better.
Temporary shelter
The management of relief shelters is continued from the response phase to the
immediate recovery phase and done through Incident Response System (IRS – as per
Response Plan). Temporary rehabilitation or relocation of people has to be done for
those damaged houses, either completely or partially destructed. These people have
to be provided with relief supplies while the construction or repair of the houses is
undertaken.
Psychosocial support
Health department is responsible to coordinate the psychologists within the district
for providing psychosocial support to people highly affected by the disaster, who
faced major economic losses or losses in the family, especially to the most vulnerable
groups as children, women, elderly, etc, in order to reduce the psychological trauma
80
at the community level. Support and co-ordination from NGOs should be utilized for
the same.
Physical health
First aid and emergency health care has to be provided at the earliest. In case health
care centres are affected by the disaster, temporary medical relief camps have to be
installed while the building is retrofitted or reconstructed. Mobile medical units may
be pushed into action for immediately health care close to the community.
Animal health
Injuries and diseases to animals must be addressed through necessary veterinary
support at the village or panchayat level.
Financial support
The Department of Social Welfare shall release the money of life insurance and others
according to state and national social welfare schemes.
Peace meetings
In case of any violence in the region, peace meetings have to be organized by the
Police Department and the District Collector along with leaders of estranged
communities to diffuse tensions.
4.3. Economic recovery
The recovery of economic dimension is fundamental for the success of the entire
recovery stage as it brings sustainability for the programme and closely supports the
principle of build back better by reviving the local economy.
Risk transfer
Crop and livestock insurance beneficiaries have to be identified during early
recovery stage sp to provide the affected people with money for meeting their
immediate expenditures and necessities.
Wage employment
This shall make available on high priority to people of affected areas so as to give
access to money soon after disaster response when the withdrawal of relief supplies
generally takes effect. MGNREGS shall be implemented to provide temporary wages
while using this to build assets that could be beneficial for their long-term recovery.
Banking operations
81
Banking operations affected due to disaster must continue with minimal period
disruption so that communities are able to draw money deposited via MGNREGS
work, insurance amounts besides being able to avail regular banking benefits.
Relocation
When the recovery involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should
be in close proximity to the existing sources of livelihood (places of work,
agricultural farms, livestock facilities, markets, etc). This ensures favourable
conditions for livelihood generation and other economic activities.
5. Long-term Recovery Post-disaster recovery is a complex process involving several dimensions such as
livelihood regeneration, psychological care, environmental rehabilitation,
reconstruction, etc. This requires strong linkages between government, NGOs, as
well as international organizations and the communities in the district itself, and
there is no time-bound to be finished. As the stage of immediate recovery, the long-
term recovery involves three major dimensions – infrastructure, social, and
economic.
5.1. Infrastructure and environmental recovery
Strengthening and retrofitting
This shall be executed during this phase for all the critical lifeline buildings on priority
by the PWD – Building department, besides that for canals and embankments by Canal
(Irrigation dept) and WRD, respectively. These works for schools shall be undertaken
by Building Construction Division of Education Department.
Repair and reconstruction
Roads and bridges
The execution shall be undertaken and monitored by the NHAI and the PWD – Roads
(State & Rural) as per the execution plan defined during the first segment of recovery
phase.
Housing
Development of permanent housing solution for victims happens during this period
under National Housing Scheme (IAY & RAY). Additionally, housing solutions may be
provided in cooperation and financial support of external agencies such as NGOs,
Corporate Social Responsibility department of private companies, etc. The planning
82
and execution has to involve the local community through consultations and
assessments while empowering them.
Regeneration of biodiversity
Afforestation initiatives have to be undertaken by Soil Conservation, Forest and P&RD
in affected areas to regenerate forests and biodiversity.
Treatment of wetlands
Natural wetlands (rivers, streams) have to be cleared of debris and sediment deposits
to restore the aquatic biodiversity of the region, including fishes and plants.
5.2. Social and economic recovery
Rehabilitation
During this phase, families placed in temporary shelters due to damage or
destruction of their houses or erosion of their land has to be smoothly rehabilitated
through requisite infrastructure recovery interventions. Efforts shall be made to
rehabilitate these families to locations at least close to the original habitations to
keep them in proximity of pre-disaster communities and land.
Education
Schools have to be made operational in the shortest span through the post-disaster
period.
Wage employment
The focus on providing wage employment through MGNREGS should be continued
with greater vigour for the affected parts of the district so as to provide economic
recovery while original livelihoods such as agriculture outputs are restored to
normalcy.
Livelihoods
Work towards strengthening livelihoods to be more economically and
environmentally sustainable, as well as more resilient to future disasters. In this
long-term recovery effort, focus is on livelihoods diversification, creation of
alternative income generating activities, providing financial services such as loans
and insurance, and strengthening forward linkages with markets for existing and new
livelihoods.
Credit
This shall be done by formation of self-help groups (SHGs) for affected communities
so as to support in buying or rebuilding assets such as domestic animals, farm
equipments, craft equipments and others by providing microcredit. This is critical
to reduce the dependency of the population in the district administration for
support.
83
Micro insurance
Increase of the coverage of micro insurance in order to include more farmers and
livestock owners and their productive lands/livestock to ensure risk transfer benefits
in case of damages from any future disasters.
Disaster resilient livelihoods
Agriculture is the mainstay of the district while it is one of those vulnerable to
natural hazards. Alternative livelihoods such as crafts, sericulture and plantation of
Khus (Vetiver) for its oil production with a processing industry may be sought by the
district.
Agronomic rehabilitation
The district administration has to ensure that soil testing labs research and
formulate necessary steps required for agronomic rehabilitation and may coordinate
with NGOs working in this field to channelize their support. Additionally, it is
paramount to suggest cropping patterns, suitable compositions of fertilizers,
pesticide, etc, depending upon the changes in soil due to the disaster and develop
a model of rehabilitation of the same.
Various measures such as seed capital, micro finance and other related schemes
should be used for the social and economic recovery of the district. Some activities
to support livelihood generation and improvement that can be provided by schemes
under the Welfare Department are given below:
- training tailoring to SCs/BCs destitute/ widowed women/girls;
- upgrade of typing and data entry skills of the SC/BC unemployed youth through
computer training;
- financial assistance for training to scheduled castes candidates in unorganised sector
through private institutions;
- creation of employment generation opportunities by setting up employment-
oriented institutions/ training programme;
- other schemes such as MGNREGS, PMGSY, Hunar se RojgarYojana can also be used
for livelihood generation.
The district administration may also coordinate with the Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Department to ensure alternate livelihood generation activities by
providing cows and buffaloes. Various schemes under Animal Husbandry and Dairying
Department can be used for the same:
- schemes for employment opportunities to scheduled castes families by establishing
livestock units and insurances of their livestock (SCSP);
84
- special employment to educated/ uneducated young men/women of rural area
through dairy development;
- Self-employment generation in dairy sector by establishing hi-tech/ mini dairy
units;schemes for salvaging and rearing of the male buffalo calves.
- For further information about the schemes, one may refer to the Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) Plan.
85
6. Holistic Recovery Process The District Disaster Management Authority of Nellore should formulate the
necessary institutional mechanisms for ensuring that each aforementioned
parameters and activities related to the recovery stage, including reconstruction
and rehabilitation, are performed accordingly. In view of this, they should not only
monitor, but also coordinate with the work of NGOs and other agencies so to better
utilize the expertise and resources available at the district. It should be noted that
external agencies have a time-bound approach and communities may or may not be
completely recovered by the time their project ends. Therefore, the Disaster
Management Authority is the final responsible for the recovery process and has to
ensure its appropriateness within the district, through planning and constant
monitoring of the progress and reporting.
During the recovery process, it is paramount to ensure that the communities do not
get dependent solely on assistance from the local administration. It is necessary to
define in advance clear indicators and a plan stating the withdrawal as per the
situation in the district. Additionally, multi-disciplinary activities should be
incorporated in the recovery process in consultation with the affected community
in an institutionalized manner, as this would support in ensuring sustainable
development of the community and the district as a whole.
6.1. Phases
6.2. Community Participation
When it comes to community participation, specific arrangements at the village
level should be designed – in the case of Gujarat Earthquake 2001, Gram
Short-Term
• Debris removal, temporary shelter, initiation of repair and reconstruction (part of the response stage)
Medium-Term
• Repair and reconstruction (houses, public infrastructure, social infrastructure), awareness programs, disaster risk reduction and mitigation
Long-Term
• Further capacity building of disaster management authorities, long-term measures for disaster risk reduction and mitigation

NavrachnaSamitis were created. The Gram NavrachnaSamiti has one chairman,
which may be the District Collector, and its members are comprised of
representative from different groups (Sarpanch, a former Sarpanch, a woman
member, a member from backward castes, a member from a minority community,
the headmaster of the primary school and a representative of an NGO). The idea of
the mandal is to ensure the representation of all segments of the community in the
decisions related to the design, building material and construction technology, as it
is responsible for the overall supervision of the reconstruction programme.
