Foreword

The district, North 24-parganas, has been divided geographically into three parts, e.g. a) vast reverine belt in the Southern part of Basirhat Sub-Divn. (Sundarban area), b) the industrial belt of Barrackpore Sub-Div. and c) vast cultivating plain land in the Bongaon Sub-divn. and adjoining part of Barrackpore, Barasat & Northern part of Basirhat Sub-Div.

The drainage capabilities of the canals, rivers etc. have been disastrously compromised by unplanned manmade activities and some Ecological changes like silting of the rivers etc. So, the flood/heavy water logging has been common occurrence every year in the most part of the aforesaid sub-divisions. Similarly, Cyclone and High tide has been commonly found in the reverine belts of Basirhat sub-division. Strangely, several focal areas of Gaighata Block of Bongaon sub-division had been found to be struck by tornado several times in the last few years. Not all disasters can be predicted or prevented. However, precautionary measures taken within the existing infrastructure, in the form of preparedness, can considerably mitigate the human sufferings, loss of life and property and restore normalcy at the earliest. The course of a disaster is dependent on how early the same is identified and how effectively specific control measures are applied. The impact of the disaster control measures can be expected to be significant only if proper measures are applied in time. Scarce resources are often wasted in undertaking such measures after the disaster has already peaked and the outcome of such measures in limiting the damage and in reducing human sufferings, morbidity with loss of life and property becomes negligible.

It is therefore, of paramount importance to formulate an action plan to face the situation arising out of the same. The rescue, relief and rehabilitation activities are not the work of a single department, rather constitute best co-ordinated activities amongst the concerned Govt. departments, Local G.P, N.G.Os., peoples’ representatives, Clubs and the Community as a whole.

From the last thirty years’ experience, it had been observed that unprecedented flood, heavy rainfall and cyclones in the coastal areas cause most of the severe damages to the life and property of the people of this district. Of course, the devastations caused by the Flood- 2000 and by Cyclone Aila in 2009 were the most horrible experiences of the State.

Drought is a significant problem too. It is caused by less than average rainfall over a long period of time. Some parts of this district have occasionally been affected by drought. Other disasters such as cyclone, epidemic, earth quake, etc. may hit the district and in anticipation of these disasters and on the basis of the National Disaster Management Act 2005, the Disaster Risk Management Plans are being prepared every year. This district has been selected as one of the Model Districts for the GoI-UNDP CBDRR Programme and this year this model CBDRR Plan has been prepared by the Disaster Management Sction of the District Administration of North 24 Parganas using information received from other line departments and with the help of PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT-PRISM an NGO and member organisation of the DDMC of this district I would like to convey my sincere thanks to all taking pain to formulate the plan especially the Additional District Magistrate (DMD), OC - Disaster Management, Dr Aniruddha Dey, Executive Director, PRISM and all members and staff of Disaster Management Section of this Collectorate.

1.1 WHY IS IT

The Model Multi-Hazard District Disaster Management Plan for the year 2011-12 for the District of North 24 Parganas has been developed by the PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT-PRISM in close association with the Disaster Management Section of the Office of the District Magistrate, North 24 Parganas. The entire North 24 Parganas district is vulnerable to multi-hazards e.g. natural calamities like Flood, Cyclone, Hailstorm - Kalbaishakhi, Earthquake, Drought and Embankment Erosion. In fact there are High Risk Multi-Hazard Zones. Apart from these natural hazards occurrences of man-made disasters like major fire, industrial accidents, chemical hazards, terrorist attacks etc. are also possible. This plan has been formulated in the context of both natural and man-made disasters to tackle the multi-hazard risks in the current year 2011-12 and includes the factors like ever-growing population, the vast disparities of income, rapid unplanned urbanization, increasing industrialization, development within high risk zones, environmental degradation, climate change, state and national security, economy and sustainable development.

1.2 BASIC OBJECTIVES

• To assess the risks and vulnerabilities associated with various disasters; • To prevent loss of human lives and property-preparedness, prevention & mitigation of

disasters. • Development converging in prevention and mitigation in Disaster Management. • To make the Government and other stakeholder organizations able to get prepared

and act in time to manage any disaster in a pro-active preplanned well coordinated manner.

• To facilitate the stake holders to augment GO-NGO coordination in disaster management.

• To provide clarity on roles and responsibilities for all stakeholders concerned with disaster management so that disasters can be managed more effectively.

There are SHGs formed in co-operative sector and animal husbandry sector also.

� Formation of cluster in each G.P and formation of Federation in each block covering

all SHGs in a G.P or Block is the target. � Formation of Block level SHG Management Team (BSMT) in block level and Gram

panchayat level SHG Management Team (GSMT) in G.P level for monitoring and management of the SHGs formed.

1.5.10 Plans for Municipal areas

In our district there are 27 municipalities of which 20 municipalities fall under KMDA area and the rest non-KMDA municipalities have a rural outlook. The KMDA




municipalities also are different in nature and can be broadly classified into three categories viz. i) municipalities falling in the Naihati-Barrackpore Zone, ii) municipalities adjacent to Kolkata and iii) Bidhannagar municipality.

Non-KMDA Municipalities: They contain substantial agriculture area but pressure on land is increasing due to new residential buildings and other infrastructures. There are some arsenic prone areas. Some areas are prone to inundation in rainy season. Focus on the following points shall be given as a part of perspective plan.

1) Extension of road networks with emphasis on construction of link roads. 2) Garbage disposal for improvement of sanitation. 3) Solid waste management with neighbouring units 4) Re-excavation of ponds and Social fishery 5) Social forestry for beautification, environment protection and fuel wood supply to

poor. 6) Beautification of the area through parks and gardens 7) Sorting out drainage problems through cleaning of drains, stopping usage of

polythene etc. 8) Stress shall be given for establishing fruit processing units 9) Sorting out Mid-day-meal problems in SSK 10) Preparation of information bank and its availability at Ward level.

KMDA Municipalities in the Naihati-Barrackpore Zone: It is the area of traditional industrial zone of Barrackpore. Jute mills and many are located in these areas. Due to closure of many industrial units there is a huge of unemployed people. There are many unauthorized slums. Earlier the industrialists developed coolie-lines for their industrial requirement. These coolie lines populations appears to be of different nature and they are very difficult to motivate. Hardly they can be associated in the developmental process. Considering all these, the following are the objectives:

1) Stress on education and income generation. Tagging of NGOs in slum and similar other areas for better coverage.

2) Outcome based planning with a stress on sustainable development. 3) Traditional household industries like carpentry, gold smithy, Bori making etc.

shall be promoted. 4) SHG, DWCUA groups should be promoted through proper marketing outlets and

strategy in terms of profitability. Besides, they will be utilized by the municipalities for collection of tax, lease of ponds, conservancy etc.

5) Checking health hazards like arsenicosis, silicosis etc. for industrial / construction workers

KMDA Municipalities adjacent to Kolkata: There are infrastructure problems in the municipal network. Besides, the strength and quality of staff is not in commensurate with the workload. Transport system is likely to be a menace in the next 15 years if the growth rate remains same. There is encroachment of road and parking of vehicles is a big problem. Ganga is the ultimate source of drinking water and it needs a lot of cost for water treatment. Regarding water bodies, there is ownership problem-whether the land is of municipality or government. There is no control over selling of land and after the sale is made and registration is over, the matter comes to the notice of the municipalities for mutation. Poor people are bringing up new habitations in low-lying areas causing drainage problem and regular water logging. There is a space problem for solid waste dumping. The Bagjola Khal has no carrying capacity at all. These municipalities, as a whole, have fewer natural resources; even the existing resources are being depleted and getting polluted. The following shall be the objectives.




1) Planned growth of municipal area shall be emphasized through implementation of comprehensive building plan.

2) Zoning of municipal areas according to utility such as commercial, residential, industrial etc.

3) Water tax imposition for safe drinking water supply and subsequent maintenance

4) Reduction of wastage of drinking water such as cleaning of clothes, bathing, other household uses etc. through awareness and policy formation.

5) Deployment of common agency for drinking water and drainage 6) Preparation of land use map, its implementation and law support for misuse. 7) Desiltation of Ganga with the help of Kolkata Port Trust and Irrigation and

Waterways Department. 8) Proper utilization of embankment of the River Ganga for building up modern

parks, roads and allied works. 9) Construction of old age home as per necessity. 10) Evolving suitable marketing strategy and outlets for SHG products

Bidhannagar Municipality: It is a planned city and is a residential place mostly for the upper echelons of the society. The municipality has no land of its own. The land is a leased government property. It has only 14 own employees and other employees are drafted from other departments. Out of 33.5 Sq. k.m total area it has only 12.5 Sq. k.m planned area. The added area is a non-planned one and consists of Dattabad area. The original population of Dattabad was 3000, which has gone upto 40000 due to heavy emigration. There are about 3000 Jhuggis who are basically migratory population and almost having no education. Health coverage is almost complete. The problem area is the added area. Considering these, the following shall be the future action points.

1) Rehabilitation of people in the Dattabad area where the density of population is extremely high.

2) Economical Upgradation of poorer section in the added area. 3) Service to old age people by unemployed youth. 4) Sorting out drainage problems in certain pockets.

Kolkata Metropolitan Area

Water Supply For Water supply, the planned interventions focus on provision of treated surface water, in replacement of ground water based supplies, by way of not only of new WTPs but also augmentation of the existing once and establishing a network of UGRs with booster pumps such that water can be supplied at the consumers end at required pressure. Of course, the municipal level distribution network will have to be accordingly expanded / augmented in order to take benefit of the various water supply facilities.

Going by the list of schemes under JN-NURM, it would be observed that schemes involving an investment of Rs. 1015 crore have been proposed for implementation, with a view to sub-serving the above objective in so far as North 24 Parganas Districts is concerned.

Drainage Given the fact that urban areas of North 24 Parganas District suffer from a great deal of waterlogging, the interventionist strategy focuses on removal of congestion at the outfall channels. The ULBs shall need to revamp their existing drainage network to take advantage of the trans – municipal drainage improvement facilities.




It would be observed from the list of schemes proposed under JN-NURM that 7 out of 18 schemes involving an investment of Rs. 285.3 crore pertain to North 24 Parganas District.

Sewerage In consideration of the fact that proper sewerage facility is key to achieving sanitation in municipal towns, certain facilities in this sector had been created under the Ganga Action Plan (GAP). But proper use of the some has not been able to be achieved because of lack of integration of the municipal sewerage network with those facilities. The strategy under JN-NURM emphasizes on providing integration of the town sewerage system with the GAP system. A review of the sewerage schemes proposed under JN-NURM would indicate that all the municipal towns in North 24 Parganas District have been covered, involving an investment of Rs. 2457 crore.

Solid Waste Management In this sector, emphasis is placed on creation of facilities for final disposal of municipal solid waste. The list of schemes proposed under JN-NURM covers 11 of the municipal towns in North 24 Parganas District at an estimated cost of Rs. 116 crore. TRANSPORT

Transport is an important infrastructure in promoting new growth as well as sustaining the existing settlements and economic activities. As far as North 24-Parganas District is concerned, the major thrust is on internalizing and optimizing the benefits that two major transport infrastructure projects of the State Government are going to offer shortly . The Second Vivekananda Setu and the Belghoria Expressway together would establish a faster travel linkage between the NH-34 & NH-35 , on the one hand , and NH-2 & NH-6, on the other, via the Kalyani–Dum Dum Expressway project of KMDA. The 35-km stretch of Kalyani- Dum Dum Expressway from Kalyani to Sodepur is already completed as a 2-lane corridor. The remaining 6 km. from Sodepur to Dum Dum shall be completed soon. KMDA has a plan to widen the entire stretch of Kalyani-Dum Dum Expressway into a 6-lane divided facility. Limited efforts are also being made to provided improved accessibility between the exisiting settlements to the west of Kalyani-Dum Dum Expressway and the Expressway itself.

The identifiable investment in this area is estimated at Rs.510 crore. The areas under North-24 Parganas District shall also stand to benefit from other major transport infrastructure schemes that may transcend the boundaries of the District. AREA DEVELOPMENT

The areas along Kalyani-Dum Dum Expressway have emerged as potential areas in the North 24-Parganas District for intensive development, particularly owing to the upcoming regional transport linkages. With a view to preventing haphazard growth, KMDA is in the process of preparing a Land Use and Development Control Plan(LUDCP) and also identifying about 1000 area of land along Kalyani-Dum Dum Expressway, where new and potential activities including settelments can be accmmodated in a planned manner. It is intended to focus on promoting small and medium industries alongside the Kalyani-Dum Dum Expressway through provision of organized facilities as well as supporting facilities like residence, social infrastructure,




commerce etc. This new area development activity would essentially be confined to North 24-Parganas District. A major part of the new development may be taken up under suitable format of Public Private Partnership(PPP).

1.5.11 Border areas

Border areas need special mention due to their area specific problems, which are special in nature. The economy of the area is agriculture based. There is a need for income generation for the poor as well as better infrastructure support for the area. The following are the points to be considered in this regard.

A) Livelihood options

1) Vermi-composting, Mushroom cultivation 2) Excavation/re-excavation of ponds. 3) Arsenic free drinking water through deep tubewells. 4) Garol Sheep preservation and proliferation 5) Goatery Scheme through SHGs @ Rs. 5000/- per SHG where one lady

member of SHG shall make deworming, PPR vaccination and application of mineral mixture.

6) Broiler & Hatchery Scheme. 7) Gur making scheme (Patali). 8) IPM demonstration centre in each G.P. 9) Pisciculture- ornamental fish, indigenous magur cultivation through SHGs. 10) Mango grafting through SHG 11) Improved seed for distribution to the SHGs. 12) Coir making. 13) Mangrove afforestation

B) Infrastructure support

1) Free Text Book for adolescent girls in areas of girl trafficking. 2) Community Library for accelerated reading. 3) Construction of irrigation embankments. 4) Solar Light. 5) Construction of godowns for procurement of Paddy for PDS. 6) Construction of drain. 7) Construction of Jetty. 8) Construction of floor for paddy processing – (parboiling) through SHGs. 9) Construction of link road. 10) Construction of common work shed for Kantha Stitching artisans. 11) Construction of community Kitchen for 6 months to 2 years of age children

through SHGs. 12) Mobile dispensary in riverine areas through mechani zed boat

3.2 HYDRO-GEOLOGY

3.2.1 Location

The district of North 24 Parganas has bifurcated from the erstwhile 24 Parganas and emerged as separate district on 1st March, 1986, the latitudinal extension of then of the district is 22011’6” N to 2301’2’ N and longitudinally it extends from 88020’ E to 8905’ E overing an area of 4094 Sq. km. The district is bounded in the north by Nadia district and Bangladesh, in the east by Bangladesh, in the South-by-South 24 Parganas and in the west by Howrah and Hooghly. The district has five sub-divisions viz. Barasat, Basirhat, Barrackpore, Bongaon and Bidhannagar comprising 22 Blocks.

3.2.2 Phisiography and Drainage

The district lies within Gangetic Delta and its physical features are those common to deltaic land, for the country is almost flat, it is little raised above flood level and the highest ground is that bordering the river channels. The general slope of the land is towards South having mean elevation of 3 m to 5 m above mean sea level.

The district is traversed by a number of moribund rivers, which were primary spill channels of the river Bhagirathi. The important rivers of the district are Hooghly, Ichamati, Raimangal, Jamuna, Bidyadhari and Kalindi which are mostly tidal in nature and as these rivers are not fed by upstream flow of water discharge there is gradual degradation of river regime in the district, Apart from these rivers, a number of artificial drainage systems have been constructed throughout the district ego Krishnapur Kata Khal, Bhangar Khal ete.

3.2.3 Climate

The location of the district clearly indicates a sub-tropical climate with monsoonal




regime. The mean annual rainfall is 1442mm and the mean annual maximum and minimum temperatures are 40°C and 7°C respectively. During the cold weather season from November to January there is complete absence of cloud and rainfall except with the passing of western disturbances. The mean temperature fall steadily between November and middle of January but the humidity remains high. An important feature of this season is formation of fog which dissipates with the rising sun. In February, temperature begins to rise, Southerly winds become more frequent with the advancing year

There is a period of transition characterized by occasional thunderstorms accompanied by rainfall known as Nor'westers during March/ April, which extends upto May. The temperature rises gradually and May is the hottest month. During the transition period of October to November and March to May, cyclonic storms occur near the Bay of Bengal with heavy rainfall. With the commencement of the southwest monsoon, which generally arrives during 8th to 10th June but deferred till the beginning of July, humidity increases to 90% of saturation. Nearly 80% of the total average annual rainfall occurs during this season. The main temperature slowly diminishes from June to October. During the later half of September and throughout October cloudy weather alternates with bright sunshine, the bright weather gradually lengthens and merges into continuous fine weather of cold season.

3.2.4 Soil

Soil' is mostly new alluvium, except in the southern part, where it is saline. It varies from sandy to clay loams but sandy loams are predominant.

3.2.5 General Hydrogeology

The area is covered by alluvium of Quaternary age, deposited by Ganges and its tributaries. The crop of the alluvium is clayey in nature and becomes sticky when wet, fine sand and silty clay capping also occur in small patches in the alluvium. The thickness of this top clay generally varies in between 3m - 6m and it tends to thicken towards South. Barring five blocks i.e Minakhan, Sandeshkhali-I & II, Hingalganj, Hasnabad falling in the coastal saline track, considerably, thick fresh water bearing granular horizon composed of different grades of sand from very fine to coarse, occasionally mixed with fine gravels and sometimes intervened with clay horizons are found to occur down to a depth of about 150m below ground level, as revealed from the available lithologs of the bore holes drilled in the area. A suitably located properly designed and well developed large diameter deep tube well tapping 25 - 35m of aquifer thickness is generally capable of yielding 180 - 250m3 /hr with a drawdown of about 5 10m. Small diameter shallow tubewells are generally constructed within the depth range of 40m - 60m below ground level having an average yield of 25 - 30m3/ hr. Out of 22 blocks, 5 blocks namely' Hasnabad, Hingalganj, Minakhan, and Sandeshkhali I & II are found to be infested with saline groundwater environment. But there is a wide variation in the disposition of fresh and saline groundwater bearing aquifers in these areas. They sometimes co-exist without maintaining any definite pattern especially in the shallow aquifer systems. The saline water bearing aquifers are found to exist in general upto a depth of about 150m below ground level. However a group of fresh water bearing aquifers is generally available in the depth span of 150m - 330m below ground level. These lower groups of aquifers are effectively separated by a thick clay bed and exist under confined condition




3.2.6 Depth to Water Level Condition

Depth to water level is measured four times a year in Hydrograph Stations distributed over the district. except in Hashnabad, Hingalganj and Minakhan blocks under saline environment. The depth to water level data collected from Hydrograph stations in Sandeshkhali - I & II blocks falling under saline environments have not been considered while preparing the zonation maps. Depth to Water level data so far recorded for the period eleven years from 1984 - 1994 indicates that the depth to water level rests within 6 m below ground level in greater part of the district during peak summer months. However in parts of Baduria, Deganga, Barasat, Amdanga, Barrackpore, Haroa, Gaighata and Bongaon P.S depth to water level during pre-monsoon period generally lie within the range of 6 - 9m below ground level. It also appear pre-monsoon depth to water level in the greater part of the district lies within 5m below ground level, however in parts of Barasat, Amdanga, Habra and Barrackpore P.S depth to water level goes down to the maximum depth of 6.89m bgl during post-monsoon period while the general range is found to be 2 - 5m bgl. Comparison of water level data in different years starting from 1984 indicates that the pre-monsoon depth to water level shows a gradual falling trend. These may be mainly attributed to excessive withdrawal groundwater in the lean period to meet the requirement of water intensive cultivation. This phenomenon is also evident from pre-monsoon depth to zonation maps where it is found that more areas are affected by higher values of pre-monsoon depth to water level. The post monsoon water level data however do not exhibit any such lowering trend. 3.3 WATER INVESTIGATION

North 24 Parganas district, hitherto known as quite rich in ground water resources. Rapid urbanization and agricultural growth have already necessitated large-scale ground water exploration. Ground water resources of Baduria, Bagdah, Barasat-II, Bongaon, Deganga, Gaighata and Swarupnagar blocks are being utilized to the tune of 70-84% of the annual recharge. As such, more than 50% of the district is contemplated to suffer from water scarcity in near future and thin layer of fresh water bearing aquifer occurs at deeper level. The problem of ground water has further been aggravated due to high incidence of arsenic content in it. Unless steps for augmentation of water resources is taken up right now the availability of water resources for drinking, agriculture and industrial purposes will pose a real threat in coming years. Sub-surface lithological data indicates that a succession of five to six layers of coarse sand, clay and sandy clay exists in the district. Average groundwater level varies from 2.21 m to 9.54 m bgl during the pre-monsoon period and 0.5 m to 7.08 bgl during post monsoon period in the district. The quality of groundwater in most of the samples analyzed remains within permissible limit both from the point the view of domestic consumption and irrigation

However, salinity problems in the parts of Southeastern blocks of the district thus exist, where fresh water aquifers underlines saline aquifers. Arsenic pollution in groundwater in the district requires serious consideration. Considering all of the above and to sort out the groundwater related problems, it is essential to carry out micro level hydro-geological investigation for each blocks, as early as possible. Nature of programme proposed:

1. Micro level hydro-geological survey for each Block




2. Rain water harvesting structure (model) 3. Seminar for mass awareness in connection with ground water recharge, groundwater

preservation and judicious use of ground water (2007-2008) 4. Periodical Monitoring of water level date from permanent hydrograph stations

3.4 LAND AND AGRICULTURE

Agriculture in North 24 Parganas has witnessed a gradual transformation from subsistence farming of early f ifties to the present intensive agriculture especially in better endowed regions, where basic infrastructure essential for realizing potential of improved technologies in farmers field was created alongwith favourable Government policies. This has led to widespread adoption of intensive cropping systems particularly rice-rice in irrigated areas, which has resulted in remarkable increase in food grain production in the district. The current food grain production, in this district is 7.38 lakh tonnes. However, the production growth of cereal based intensive cropping system remaining more or less stagnant in the recent past because of the total factor productivity, imbalance in plants nuterient use, limited water availability and frequent outbreak of pest and diseases outbreak. As a result this has become a serious challenge to the extensionists. The Agricultural Scientists, the Policy makers to sustain food security in the near future. There are two distinct agro ecological situations prevailing in the district– Gangetic alluvial zone and coastal alluvial zone. Gangetic alluvial zone comprised of 16 blocks spreaded over entire Barasat Barrackpore sub-divisions, Bongaon Sub-Divisions and only 4(four) blocks of Basirhat Sub-Divisions i.e. Basirhat -I &II, Baduria and Swarupnagar. For application of more location specific technologies the Gangetic alluvial regions has further been sub-divided in two regions. One is Icchamati basin comprising Bongaon, Bagdah, Gaighata and Swarupnagar block, the other one is Gangetic Plains comprising all blocks of Barasat-Barrackpore Sub-Division and Basirhat I&II, Baduria block of Basirhat Sub-Division. Each of such region has distinct agro-dimatic features which need to be considered during planning interventions.

3.4.1 Key Issues to Agricultural Development

Fragmentation of Land holding resulting in reductio n in size of operational holding: With the increasing in population, the size of operational holding are becoming smaller and smaller thus making it diff icult for Farm Mechnisation and adoption of improved technology. Worldwide changes with globalisation and trade liberalisation focus of farmers should be shifted towards the goal of reducing the cost of cultivation and increasing quality of the produce. Thus, there is a need to prevent further fragmentation of land.

Increase in number of marginal small farmers: More than 70% of the cultivable agricultural land of this District are in the possession of small & marginal Farmers. Most of them are resource poor-farmers and are unable to timely invest their resources in agricultural and allied activities. There is still insufficient f low of credit from the financial Institution and the farmers still have to get money from the local money lender with an unpredictable rate of interests. Sometimes, they become bound to sell their produce below the market price as distress sale in order to repay the money lender. Therefore, strategies are being developed for sufficient f low of credit to the resource poor farmers on easy terms.

Dependence on Rice, being a staple food: Rice is the main crop of this district and the total area under rice is 274747ha (Aus, Aman & Boro). Since Rice is the staple food of eastern India inspite of opportunities of growing more high value crop with less investment of land and water resources farmers do not ready to give up rice production. Therefore, diversif ication in agriculture is the foremost need at this t ime and the farmers need to be motivated to bringing up diversif ication in their production system.

Nearly 33% of the cultivated Area is under Rain fed farming situation: The targetted growth in agriculture would require further expansion of irrigated areas through Development of limited water resources which would be a costly affair in the context of competing demand with other sectors of water use. The per capita




avaialability of water have progressively reduced from 2209 cubic meter per year in 1991 to 1703 cubic meter in 2005.With the projected future population, the per capita water availability may further decline to about 1340 cubic meter by the year 2025.

Considering per capita utilizable water for various uses the situation would be more serious as it would decline from 1093 cubic meter in 2001 to 808 cubic meter in 2025 while the per capita water demand in different sectors would increase to 1113 cubic meter. Thus there would be a shortfall of 27.4% in utilizable water to meet the water demand. Hence the water resources need to be judiciously managed by ensuring proper balance between population growth and precipitation availability and it’s distribution.

The present level of food grain production need to be drastically increased. It has been estimated that though agriculture would continue to be a major consumer of water in future its share in total water use may reduce from 83% at present to 72% in 2025. While share of other sectors would increase. Most of the rainfed lands are also marginal and fragile lands subject to varying degree of degradation process and are strongly linked to poverty stricken rural population. Hence to avert food crisis in future it is imparative to adopt two prolonged stratigy viz i) checking degradation of agricultural land to maintain proper soil health and ii) conserve rain water for its effective utilization and enhancement of crop productivity on sustainable basis.

Climatic Changes & Natural Calamity: The monsoon rainfall does not show any trend but there are some regional patterns while distribution over the years has varying degree of variations.Surface temperature indicates a significant

warming of 0.40C. It is projected that rainfall will increase by the end of 21st

century by 15-40 percent and the season annual temperature will increase by 30

to 60c. The warming is more pronounced over land areas. The warming is also relatively greater in winter and post monsoon seasons.

All agricultural commodities are sensitive to such variability. Wheat crop which is most important from the food security is most sensitive to even small increase in temperature. Increasing climatic variability could nevertheless result in considerable seasonal/annual f luctuations in food production.

Drought, f loods, cyclones , heavy precipitation events, hot extreme and heat waves are known to have negative impact on agricultural production. The projected increase in the events could result in greater instability in food production as well as further threaten livilihood security of farmers. Also it may enhance the fertilizer lesser after it’s f ield application reducing fertilizer use efficiency. This could lead to increased fertilizer requirement for meeting future food production demands.

The entire Bongaon Sub-Division of this district and Swarupnagar block of Basirhat Sub-Division are entirely f lood prone areas causing damages of agricultural crops in thousands of hectares in almost every year. On the other




hand a part of this district comprising six blocks of Basirhat Sub-Division such as Hasnabad, Haroa, Hingalganj, Minakhan, Sandeshkhali-I, Sandeshkhali-II are vulnerable to breach of embankment during high tide. Once the saline water enters into the crop field due to breach of embarkment, not only the standing crops are lossed but also the entire area become unfit for cultivation for a period of 2-3 years depending upon the salinity of soil and rainfall received.

Poor Marketing Infrastructure: The Production units are small, scattered and production is seasonal and is contingent on agro climatic features of the region. Small marketable surpluses of farmers have to be assembled and distributed over dispersed centre of demand. Generally, farmers try to sell what they produce for a better price. Glut in the market often led to fall in price which appeared to be a disincentive for better technology adoption.

Lack of marketing infrastructure to handle this volume is the primary hurdle. Consequently the extent of wastage ranged from 20 to 35 percent. Besides the producers share in consumer rupee is also low in most cases of agril. produce. reflecting the inefficiency in the marketing system. The extension systems focussed only on transfer of production technology while post harvest management and marketing were largely uncovered. Therefore strategies should be taken for development of marketing infrastructure and market network.

Soil Fertility is on the declining trend due to dep letion of available N.P.K. Sulphur and several critical micronutrient: Soil fertility status is declining day to day in this District due to mismatch between nutrient addition vs removal, later is on higher side. With increasing in cropping intensity of the District defficiency sympton of primary nutrient alongwith other secondary and micronutrients are becoming conspicious in different pockets of this district. The situation has further aggravated due to water logging in lowlying area of this district. Further there is lack in awareness of farmers regarding soil testing and they are usually habituated in application of fertiliser on blanket basis, as a result the situation has worsen futher.

Weeds, diseases and pests are multiplying and becom ing increasingly uncontrollable: Modern high input monocrpping based intensive agriculture has resulted in loss of biodiversity of beneficial fauna and flora, out break of pests and diseases, degradation of soil health and decline in productivity. Climatic change a serious concern is suspected to be one of the major reason for the outbreak of new pests and diseases like out break of Eriophyid mite in recent past. The losses caused by this pests can be as high as 50-60 percent. Over dependence on chemical pesticide has become untenable in view of the health hazzards and envirnonmental pollution leading to elemination of serveral non target beneficial fauna like natural enemies, bees, pollinators, birds, reptiles and small mammals. The high cost and development of resistance in pests make the use of chemical pesticides unsustainable.

Poor Investment in Agriculture Sector: One of the reason behind non attainment of projected growth rate in agriculture sector is poor investment. Inspite of the fact that 70% of the workforce depend directly on Agricullture, the




investment are lesser in comparison to other sector. Resource flow to agriculture sector is declining day to day and indebtness of small and marginal farmers is on rising trend. The input cost are increasing while productivity factors are declining. As a result, the poor farmers remain poor even after completion of Xth five year plan. The projected target of acheiving 4% growth rate during XIth Plan period will remain again unfulf illed if sufficient resources are not moblized in agriculture.

Since development of Agriculture directly related with the development of

storage, packaging, marketing & processing infrastructure, it requires a

considerable investment to change the existing scenario of agricultural

production system.

3.5 HORTICULTURE

Geographical area of this District is 4090 Sq. Km. or 409400 ha. where approximately one lakh ha comes under Horticultural crops though there is ample scope and opportunity to increase the area, productivity and total production of Horticultural crops and also there is enough scope to introduce new cash crops.

The soil of this district is mostly new Gangetic Alluvial, Ichamati Basin (Bongaon, Bagdah, Gaighata and Swarupnagar Block) and Coastal Saline (i.e. Hasnabad, Hingalganj, Haroa, Minakhan and Sandeshkhali – I & II Block). The most of the soil of this district is reach in nutrient and weather is also congenial for growing almost all types of Horticultural crops excepting some temperate ones like Madarine Orange, Peach, Pear, Apple, Cardammom etc. Total coverage of fruits, flowers and vegetables for three seasons (excluding potato), spices, plantation, medicinal and aromatic plants are about 1 (one) lakh ha.

Therefore there are the scope to extend the new areas for horticultural crops, those may return more in terms of money, production as well as productivity. Again it may replace the other less remunerative crops and can play active role in crop diversification as most suitable alternative farming. Scope and opportunity for introduction of new crops varieties like high yielding and improved varieties of turmeric (varieties like Roma, Suguna, Sudarshana, Nimbong, Armoor etc.), Ginger, Sweet Orange (varieties like Kino, Musambi), Ber, Guava, Hybrid variety of Mango (varieties like Amrapali, Mallika etc.) Brocolli, Chinese Cabbage, Capsicum, Gladiolus, Gerbera, Goldenrod, Tuberose etc. Those crop may be extended in large area to meet the domestic needs as well as export demand to earn foreign money for our socio-economic development. Side by side market linkage infrastructure development like Multi-Chamber cold storage, processing industries, green house to be developed to maintain the quality and constant supply which helps to create a demand by developed countries.

Transfer of technologies in this regard from lab to land is prime factor for introduction of new Horticultural crops and suitable varieties depending upon land situation, soil condition etc. In saline soil areas spices like Ajawan, Radhuni, and some medicinal aromatic plant may be cultivated after aman paddy. Implementation of Departmental schemes like Macro-Mode, National Horticulture Mission, National Bamboo Mission, Micro Irrigation, Rashtriyo Krishi Vikash Yojana etc. may help a lot for the development of Horticulture in this regard.

For this purpose sufficient technical and non technical staff and officers at District, Sub-Division, Block even at GP levels are prime important factors for the Department of Food Processing Industries & Horticulture and needed immediately for conducting awareness/training programme, demonstration and execution of schemes etc. As the hi-tech horticulture involves higher cost and huge inputs (i.e. for cultivation of one bigha Gladiolus 25,000 Nos. of corms required, which involves Rs. 75,000/- approximately for the cost of




corms only). So credit linkage and input supply both for production and post harvest management should be assured side by side in different stages to reach the goal and to develop the socio-economic status of farmers and farming families of this district.

3.7 ANIMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

The North 24 Parganas DPC analyzed the current status of the district with respect to basic human needs and postulates the following strategy according to the felt need and ground realities, towards a wholesome improvement of the society.

Livestock Sector offer unprecedented opportunities for human development through poverty reduction and enhanced nutritional security. Most poor people live in rural areas and are dependent on mixed crop-livestock farming system for their livelihood. Hence, the livestock sector plays a vital role in the Indian rural economy.

During 10th Plan period, this sector achieved the overall rate of 5.40% growth whereas; the target for 11th Plan period is to achieve 7.0% Growth. The overall physical target during 11th Plan period has been to augment production of milk, meat and egg in the District so that the gap between demand and supply of milk, meat and egg may be minimized to some extent at the end of the plan period.

The total production per annum of milk, meat & egg in the district are 436 Thousand MT, 54,791 MT and 3362.83 Lakh respectively. The scenario of production, demand and shortfall of milk, meat and egg in the district is depicted below : -

Out of the total cattle population, 93% are found in Bashirhat, Bongaon and Barasat sub-division as Intensive artificial insemination programme are being implemented extensively in these areas since 1967.

The district of North 24 Parganas is a rich source of pure line and world famous breed like ‘Black Bengal’ Goat and ‘Garole’ Sheep. Both the breeds are famous for their fecundity and meat quality. The skin of Black Bengal Goat is also world famous in terms of its special quality and branded as ‘Glace skid’ skin in world market. 48% of the total goat population and 98% of the sheep population are found in Bashirhat sub-division. The sheep are particularly reared by the farms of Sandeshkhali, Minakhan, Hinglaganj, Hansnabad & Haroa, whereas 74% of the total Pig population is found in Bongaon and Bashirhat Sub-Division.The backward classes of this area rear this animal as part of their livelihood.

Poultry is popular livelihood among the farmers of Rajarhat, Barasat, Baduria and Swarupnagar the total turnover from poultry business in the district is Rs. 20 crore. A great prospect exists in poultry in this district during coming years.

3.7.2 Cattle and Buffalo Development

The main objective of this programme is to minimize the gap between production and requirement of milk per capita considering the recommendation of ICMR in providing milk as one of the essential nutrient. There is ample scope to enhance milk production of this district upto the desired target and the only two options available for this venture is to execute extensive production of good quality better milk producing progeny of cattle and buffalo through A.I. under Frozen Semen Technology and/ or to supply good quality cows and buffaloes in the district to the farmers. Various programmes for improving production have been taken up by the department, but the main constraint is the large population of breeds of non-descriptive type. Thus the alternative pathways are:

� Rapid and extensive production of better productive female progeny through artificial insemination (A.I.) under frozen semen technology (FST) maintaining the notified breeding policy of the State earmarked for the district so that the present milk production gets increased at least by 50% more that of present.

There is a great potential for promoting heifer rearing scheme in the district which will also include financing the rearing expense of female

calves from 4 months to 30 months of age. But the final outcome of this programme needs at least ten years of steady execution.

� The other alternative is to induce good quality cows and buffaloes through execution of different beneficiary oriented schemes.

Keeping ahead the immense potentially of cattle and buffalo development in the rural sector, the state govt. has taken up the target to cover maximum number of breedable bovine with A.I. under FST. This is the only technology that can be applicable uniformly upto the grass root level and through which good productive cross bred cattle and buffalo can be generated within the shortest possible time.

Centrally sponsored Comprehensive National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding (NPCBB) has been launched in the State in the year 2001-02, Consequent upon implementation of the said scheme, Govt. of W.B has constituted a registered Society “Paschim Banga Go-sampad Bikash Sanstha” the state implementing agency. As per the structure of the Sanstha, the Block Livestock Development Officers working in the Block level are designated as Block Executive Officer of the Sanstha, one State level officer and two




Junior level officers of the district headquarter re-designated as District Executive Officer and Assistant District Executive Officer(s) of the Sanstha respectively are the manpower of the Sanstha in the district. The overall in-charge of the district is the Deputy Project Director who is also the Deputy Director, ARD & Parishad Officer of the Directorate of AR & AH.

The target of enhancement of Milk production upto the desired level can be achieved through implementation of two-fold programmes. The first way is generation of good quality progeny through extensive breeding covering maximum numbers of existing breedable stock under artificial insemination with Frozen Semen technology extending the service upto the farmers’ doorstep. The other way is to supply mass number of good quality stock through implementation of different beneficiary oriented schemes. Though the later way is the only means to enhance milk production within shortest possible period, the former way is the method of choice considering the sustainability, feasibility, availability opf good quality stock from outside States etc.

The ultimate achievement in enhancement of milk production during this period is furnished below:

3.7.4 Feed & Fodder Development

Green fodder cultivation is popular in some pockets of the district particularly in Bashirhat-II, Habra-I, Habra-II, Deganaga, Amdanga and Bongaon block area. Profitability of cattle farming depends mainly on adequate supply of green fodder to crossbred cattle. Availability of fodder seeds from government source is not sufficient and it is proposed that government agricultural farms situated in different areas of this district may be utilized for fodder seed production. As per the livestock census 2003, the fodder area in the district was 560 ha.

The physical achievement during the 11th Plan period upto the year 2009-2010 is depicted below:

North 24 Parganas is one of the potential districts in for cattle and buffalo development. The farmers of this district have the experience of over 35 years on cattle farming. Milk production and sale of milk and milk products are amongst the major activities of the farmers.

But, the main hindrance to get the desired achievement is availability of good quality green fodder and concentrate balanced feed. So, stress should be given in fodder development more extensively. Each Gram Panchayet should have at least one demarcated Pasture Land for grazing of cattle and buffaloes of the area. Panchayet authorities should take initiative on this issue.


� To introduce alternate fodder development policies � To introduce salt tolerant species of fodder in Sundarban area � To propagate Azolla cultivation, mixed fodder cultivation � To establish SHGs with the activities of fodder production and also fodder seed

production. � To train farmers is scientific fodder cultivation. Constraints




� Increasing urbanization as well as decreasing per capita land holding is the main cause of hindrances.

� Availability of good quality fodder seeds/ cuttings in proper time of cultivation � Infrastructure for fodder seed production within the district

3.7.5 Poultry Development

In the poultry sector the department basically aims to focus on production of eggs though development of poultry sector contributes about 27% of the total meat production in the district. There is a huge gap between demand and production of egg and meat. The state government has taken up a two-pronged approach to increase egg production through promotion of backyard poultry in massive numbers of unit and and the second approach through promotion of large layer farm. The major poultry meat production sector is contributed through a huge number of entrepreneurs, small, medium and large scale, who are engaged in Broiler farming. This sector is mainly governed and guided by the private large scale companies who are supplying chicks, medicines and even assistance in farming also and acting as mediator in this business.

In the unorganized sector to promote egg production in rural area the State Government has taken up a programme of distribution of 20 lakh chicks among the women members of SHG. During last two years, this scheme is financed under R.K.V.Y. in this district. The state government plans to continue the scheme in next plan period. Under the progamme RIR Chicks/ K.C. ducking are distributed among Women SHGs

The duck population of the district as per 2008 census is 8,82,004, spread over different blocks of the district. The duck population mainly comprises of desi ducks (almost 90%). With the view to improving desi ducks and increasing their egg production, Khaki Campbell drakes are supplied to SHG members who maintain backyard poultry units.

The government hatchery at Gobardanga has a capacity to produce more than 32,000 chicks/ ducklings per year. Under private sector there are three hatcheries located at Madhyamgram, Habra and Barrackpore, respectively.

There are two feed mixing units with a capacity of 500 kg/day per unit. Poultry feed ingredients are being supplied by private dealers. However, cost of feed in the district is very high as the state as a whole has to depend on import of feed ingredients from other states for which heavy transport and other costs are required to be incurred. Thus, poultry growers suffer due to non-availability of good quality poultry feed at reasonable prices. The West Bengal Dairy and Poultry Corporation Ltd. (DAIRPOUL) manufacture feed under its brand name EPIC (Essential for Poultry and Indispensable for Cattle). The feed is supplied to the farmers by the DAIRPOUL through its own marketing/dealership network.

Marketing of poultry eggs and culled bird is being done in the local market through middlemen who control the prices of all the products.

3.7.6 Sheep, Goat and Piggery Development

Sunderban belt is considered to be ideal for sheep and goat rearing. The Blck Bengal breed of goat and Garole breed of sheep, which thrive well in mangrove ecology, are indispensable for saline environment of Sunderbans. Piggery can also be promoted on commercial scale in view of the proximity to Kolkata Metropolis. Good number of piggery units has come up under private sector in the recent years. The annual chevon (goat meat) and mutton (sheep meat) production of the district is 15,939 and 940 MT, respectively. The annual wool production of the district is 17.01 MT and there is still scope for increasing wool production, if farmers are properly trained in sheep shearing and collection centres are established for wool.

Availability and gaps in the infrastructure and support services

At present 248 goat farms are functioning in the district. These are mainly the endeavor of SHGs and individuals. Garole breed pf sheep is mainly available in the Bashirhat sub-division which produces coarse wool and is also popular for good quality meet. The Garole sheep breed is also not susceptible to common diseases. Besides this, the breed is also known for its prolificacy.

Currently indigenous pigs are crossed with high quality exotic boars to improve productivity in crossbreeds. Marketing of pigs is not organized/ regulated and as such the farmers have to sell their pigs in local markets at comparatively cheaper rates.

Sheep, Goat, Pig etc. are the moveable asset to the poor farmers and also to other economically backward poor community. Schemes for upgradation of local desi stock of these species of livestock are being implemented by the District.

Considering the importance of native Garole sheep in Sunderban areas towards it’s outstanding potentiality (average Lit. Size 2.27), which needs urgent conservation & future development adopting suitable breeding strategy through selection & breeding with proper husbandry practice & health coverage.

Conservation of Garole sheep has already been taken up at Sunderban area under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme Conservation of Threatened Breeds’ amounting Rs. 64.50 Lakhs. Black Bengal goat rearing is an integral part of the farming system. Goat have proved very useful to man throughout age largely because of their adoptability to varying environmental condition & thrive on sparse vegetation unsuitable for feeding of other livestock. Goat provides a considerable source of income & occupation of sizeable rural population, especially poor landless labour & backward classes in the districts. It produces meat of excellent quality & skin of high standard, which fetches premium prize in the global market.

The beneficiary oriented schemes for goat, sheep and pig development through Plan heads of account of State Government have been devolved through Panchayeti Raj System (PRI).

3.7.10 Overall Constraints for ARD Developmen t

The district is progressing in production of milk, meat and egg, but, the desired target has not yet been achieved. Following are the causes behind non-achievement of desired target of production of milk, meat and egg in the district.

� The Plan document is being prepared in every year on the basis of the objectives to enhance Milk, Meat & Egg production upto the targeted level so that per capita availability can be increased as per recommended quantity.

� The schemes are formulated and incorporated in the Plan document to enhance the production level.

� The schemes under RKVY have also been formulated in the same line. � During the last two years, the RKVY schemes have been sanctioned by the ARD

Department without considering the Plan document as well as the RKVY Plan prepared and submitted by this district.




� The schemes under PRI have also been sanctioned by the ARD Department on the same way.

� The BLDO Offices are having skeleton staff strength for which, monitoring of schemes is being hampered seriously.

� Increasing number of vacant Gram Panchayet level Government Units, ADACs due to retirement of LDAs.

3.8 ICHHAMATI MILK UNION

The Ichhamati Milk Union a district level all women co-operative society started its operation in the year 1993 in the district of North 24-Parganas. It was formed with a goal to improve the socio-economic conditions of the women milk producers by way of implementation of Women Dairy Co-operative Project (WDCP) under STEP, financed by Govt. of India through West Bengal Co-op. Milk Producers’ Federation Ltd. (WBCMPF Ltd.).

The Union has demonstrated exemplary Women leadership and empowerment with their active participation and involvement. The IMUL has so far covered 572 villages in 10 community blocks and developed a constituency of little over 32000 women membership. The union has been pumping on an average Rs.4 crores per month in the rural economy of the district directly and thus contributing to income generation activity for the village women milk producers.

This Union provides co-operative development services, technical input services (AI, Animal Health Care and Feed and Fodder development), milk procurement and marketing of liquid milk through marketing Dairies (Mother Dairy, Metro Dairy and Central Dairy Kolkata) and also producing milk products (Ghee, Paneer, Peda and Lassi) for fetching more price of milk through value addition.

Looking at the good potential for income and livelihood of small holders emphasis need to be given more on productivity. For this focused strategies are thought of to increase the genetic potential, production of clean quality milk and milk product besides expanding the share of organized sector in milk. To provide the direct marketing link to rural milk producer members and better end use of produced milk it is also essential to improve the quality of milk and milk products to fetch better price of rurally produced milk and plough back a sizeable share of consumers rupee to these producers for their income growth.

In view of the above IMUL proposes activity wise investment (to the tune of Rs.2,79,69,000.00) to Dairy Co-op. Society and some other infrastructure of this Milk Union.

3.9 PISCICULTURE

North 24 Parganas district is bestowed with all types of fisheries resources of immense potentialities. As such there is adequate scope for development in this sector through different discipline and directions for boosting up fisheries and allied activities maintaining ecological balance and attributing due importance to save our wet lands. For the development of fisheries as well as development of rural and urban economy and to motivate the fisher folks / fish farmers, bunch of specially designed service and information – oriented programmes are being executed. Apart from this Fisheries Department is pledged to emphasis in implementing a number of schemes as welfare measures for the development




upsurge of better living of poor fishermen community that forms a low tier in the society both socially and economically. To continue the steady growth of the fisheries sector of this district following steps are to be taken –

1. Special drive on demarcation of big water bodies under L.R. Dept., R.R. & R. Dept. & Fisheries Dept. being processed by different co-operative societies on lease basis.

2. Survey and identification of recorded and non documented existing water bodies with the help of Panchayets and Municipalities.

3. Minor irrigation cum pisciculture with agro based crops. 4. Popularization of paddy cum fishery in the Sundarban areas for maintaining eco

balancing factors. 5. Utilization of small and big water bodies in the rural and urban areas through Self

Help Groups. 6. Protection and conservation of recorded and non recorded water bodies in urban

areas. 7. Development of ecotourism in the big water bodies. 8. Build up Entrepreneurs in setting up of Fishery Clinic and feed meals. 9. Construction of hatcheries in the main AILA affected four blocks to enhance fish

production in the kitchen tanks of those blocks. Future Plans:

1. Adoption of production oriented schemes and training to fisher folks to enhance aquaculture crops.

2. Scientific planning for post harvest management of aquatic products. 3. Development of human resource, such as –

a) Construction of model houses in the form of model village and community halls for poor fishermen communities.

b) Construction of roads and installation of tube wells in the fishermen inhabited villages.

c) More focus for the strengthening of existing fishermen co - operative societies and formation of new fishermen co - operative societies.

d) Encouragement of Self help Groups for pisciculture. e) Grant to old age pension to distressed fishermen and women. f) Upliftment of Categories of Primary F.C.S. from C to B and B to A

respectively. g) Awareness camp regarding scientific fish culture practice and other fishery

related perspectives. h) Organizing Mela, Seminar for better publicity regarding scientific area specific

fish culture. 4. Fish culture activities with the help of Bank loan and Government subsidy. 5. Excavation/Renovation with proper utilization of water bodies under present NREGA

scheme through three tier panchayet systems. Besides the most deliberated topics like consciousness of environment and perception of economy in the world are co related with aquaculture. The convergence of biodiversity, conservation and fresh air of open market has given contemplated in this planning.

3.13 INFORMATION AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS

Today information is power for the weaker section of the people. Further, any development work of the government requires information for right planning and implementation as well of the scheme / project.

In view of the above, it is necessary to develop Information Bank in Panchayat Samities and Municipalities also. These Information Banks will store information regarding agriculture, land, education, health, self-employment, public distribution system, various government policies etc. The department looks forward to GIS based data bank at Block and Municipal level at the end of 11th Five Year Plan.

One of the primary objectives of the department of I & CA is to cater to the cultural needs of the people. To enable rural people to participate in the various cultural events and to enjoy the traditionally rich culture of Bengal it is necessary to set up multipurpose cultural centres primarily at district headquarter and subsequently at Sub Division and Block level (apart from setting up big auditoriums at Sub-Division level).

Our villages are rich with handicrafts prepared by the rural artisans. Their productions are worth to be preserved. Same is true with the folk artists whose performance is required to be repeated from time to time along with organizing workshops, seminars etc. to save those art forms from extinction. The cultural centres at district, Sub Division and Block level will house the handicrafts (e.g. decorative items) produced by the artisans and members of self help groups). It will also act as a rehearsal room for the performing artists, display of little magazines and other local publications. Of late, such cultural centres are non-existent in our district.

Another objective is preservation of the ancient monuments, and archaeological sites, renovation of heritage buildings associated with the eminent personalities. The district boasts of hundreds of sites of historical and archeological importance, the most famous




perhaps being Chandraketugarh at Berachampa. Excavation at the site has unearthed a civilization dating back to 500 B.C or even order.

Besides Chandraketugarh the areas lying alongside the Ganges that flows along the entire western length of the district, such as Kanchrapara, Halisahar, Naihati, Shyamnagar, Bhatpara, Barrackpore, Panihati, Khardah, Baranagar, Dakshineswar etc. abound in historical structures-temples, mosques, shrines, tombs, edifices and the like.

Dakshineswar temple of the Goddess Kali and the memory of Lord Ramkrishna and Swami Vivekananda relives in the mind of the faithful all over the world. Lastly the beautification work of the entire complex including the riverfront was taken up and has nearly been completed by the Government but a lot remains to be done still.

Historical relics have been discovered from other places in the district like Haroa, and Balanda. Halisahar made famous by the saintly poet Ramprasad Sen, is also a centre of attraction for tourists with a religious bent of mind.

Places of interest also include the residences and work places of famous litterateurs and personalities like the Post and Novelist Bankimchandra Chattopadhyaya (at Naihati), Playwright Dinabandhu Mitra (at Chouberia), Academician Haraprasad Sashtri (at Naihati), Archeologist Rakhaldas Bandyopadhyay (at Chhoyghoria), Novelist Bibhuti Bhusan Bandyopadhyaya (at Chalki-Barrackpore), Social Reformer Keshabchandra Sen (at Garifa), Academician and Social Reformer Shrishchandra Vidyaratna (at Gobardanga), Poet Satyendranath Dutta (at Nimta), Actor CHhabi Biswas (at Jagula) etc. The famous Banshed Kella (Bamboo Citadel) of the peasant leader Titumeer from where hr put up his historic fight against the British at Narkelberia, his birthplace at Baduria and many other such sites of historical and archeological interest that have turned into myths now.

Even the district has never been tagged in tourism aspect. The district abounds in naturally. Besides these sites the district of North 24 Parganas also abound in naturally landscaped vast tracts of water and forests. The Parmadan Forest of Bongaon housing even a small zoo and a children’s park, the riverfront of the Ichhamati at Taki and the nearby Machhranga Dwip hold out a romantic appeal to the domestic tourist for their tranquil presence. The Sundarbans, lying in the southern most part of the district covering places like Minakhan, Dhamakhali, Sandeshkhali, Hemnagar, Kalitala etc. encased by famous rivers like the Raymangal and the Ichhamati, have an ever-green appeal among the international tourist community. The infrastructural facilities that exist there a present have been with the meagre resources of the local bodies in the district and needs to be upgraded with the State’s resources for increasing their tourist appeal.

Infrastructural facilities like hotels, rest houses, motels and day centres need to be developed in every area that has tourism potentiality. There is a need to publish literature in the form of booklets, maps, posters and handouts for informing prospective tourists about the district.

3.14.7 Regarding Waste Disposal

Regarding bio-medical waste disposal: - A plant is to be installed for one in each Sub Division, so that the bio-medical waste of nearby hospitals can be disposed off.

Bio-medical waste is being disposed by Ms. Sembranky in all the BPHCs and State General, Sub divisional and District Hospital excepting the few Blocks of Sundarbans.

Regarding non-bio-medical waste disposal: Different areas like Bazars, municipal waste areas are to be demarcated for solid waste disposal. Each municipality and Panchayat is to be assigned responsibility to locate such places.

3.14.8 Regarding Pollution

As the population is increasing and due to rapid urbanization of the district pollution will come as a health hazard. So, for the advancement of industrialization measures to be taken for technical advancement towards lesser consumption of petroleum products & to gradually shift the vehicles with gasses or unconventional resources to reduce the pollution. There is rapid population growth in different areas and there should be a comprehensive plan for disposal of waste drainage system etc.

3.14.9 Regarding Water Supply

New plans by PHE are to be developed to render supply of water by newer projects in both rural & urban areas in phases. The old pipelined water supply of Barrackpore belt municipalities are to replace/ renovated where the linkage is regular resulting outbreak of diarrhea disease and jaundices. And to reduce the problem of derail diseases the different Municipalities requires replacement of pipeline in phases. The tubewells which are 2 to 3 pipes and not safe are to be replaced to deep tubewells in phases. In the areas where water is not easily available, other methods are to be applied, like rain water harvesting, or use of ponds by preserving it with appropriate technology as a source of drinking water.

There is problem of arsenic in district and 19 out of 22 blocks are being affected. So pipeline water supply in phases is to be implemented in all the blocks. Beside this utilization of surface water by engaging technical experts is to be taken in to account. Rain warder harvesting is to be undertaken throughout the district.

An workshop will be conducted for all the Municipalities for Bio-Medical Waste Management and domestic waste and specific plan will be asked. The workshop has already been held.




For bio-medical waste disposal in different hospitals all the institutions both Govt. & Private wiil obtained consent to operate and authorization to operation from Population Control Board.

Laboratory for drinking warder testing: 10 Lavatory has been established in the district with convergence with PRI. The water testing will be streamline through out the district in 2009-2010 .

3.14.10 Regarding highway accidents

There are national & international high ways traversing through the district and more highways are under way of construction. To have a networking with casualty management team to arrive at the accident spot to rescue the patient to nearby hospital. This will have an telephone network with ambulances at different spot along the highways. This maybe done under Public Private Partnership.

3.14.11 Regarding Drazing of river and cannel

the North 24 Parganas district is occasionally water logged and there is no proper system of drainage of this water through the rivers and cannels. So dressing of Ichimoti excavation and renovation of the cannels are to be done in phases. The river embankments are to be constructed and repaired by Modern Technology Support.

3.14.12 Problems regarding Bangladesh Nationals

This border district has special problems by the intruders of the Bangladesh Nationals. They are getting all the facilities in disguise. And producing additional load to the health systems. This should be streamlined by formulating some mechanism to share the cost.

3.14.13 Regarding Laboratory

One referral laboratory at district level is to be arranged for investigation of diseases of epidemiological importance to identify the causative agents.

3.14.14 Regarding Manpower

Necessary manpower consistent with standard norm, including doctors, nurses, paramedical persons clerk etc. will be required with the enhancement of the infrastructure & beds. The government is not recruiting regular staffs rather they are in the process of recruiting contractual staffs in different categories by passing regular appointment and filling up the vacancies. Government should appoint regular staff regularly. Sulavh Sauchaly and Patient Party Rest Shed and engineering construction in district Hospital has been introduce with Private Partnership and up to SG level this maybe introduce.

3.14.15 New Initiatives

• Nischaye Kit will be supplied at SC level for detection of early pregnancy • Hypothermia Prevention Kit had already supplied at the SC level • Delta Methrin Mosqueto net will be supplied to prevent victor bone diseases like

Malaria & Dengu etc. • 24 Hours Blood Blank will be operated in the district Hospital and 4 SDH in the year

2009-2010.




3.14.16 Regarding Municipalities

There are 27 Municipalities and 1 Cantonment Board in the District. Out of this, there are 7 Non KMDA Municipalities. There is no proper health care delivery system in the Municipalities. Some Municipalities have there own Matri Sadan / Hospital with second tier facilities. The primary health care is looked after partially on piecemeal basis through IPP-VIII, CUDP-3, ICDS, SHH, CMUHO, etc. there are some SGH and SDH in the areas. Moreover the Municipalities are self Governments catering for their own health system. The Urban system is funded by SUDA partially. There is no proper convergence and control of the District Health Facility about the situations. Municipalities need proper technical health staffs. As a result in different out break situation there are big gaps, this requires proper attention. All 126 Municipalities in the state require uniform health delivery system. The suggestions are as follows:

• Like the rural areas there should be Sub-Centers in the urban areas carrying a population of 10 thousand per Sub-Center.

• There should be Urban Primary Health Centers with Doctors, PHN, and other staffs. • The PHCs will look after the immunization and other primary health care activities and

public health activities and also supervise the activity of the Sub-Centers. • There will be one Statistical Cell for compilation of different data and information with

in the Municipal areas both Public and Private. • There should be a public health cell to look after the public activities. • The Urban PHC may be constructed afresh within the camps of Matri Sadan or other

place or in a hired rental house. • All the Health programmes running in the Municipal areas should be comprehensive

to get it implemented by re-designating the post or by creating new post.

3.14.17 Regarding Sundarban Areas

These areas require special attention. This year under public private partnership delivery center in each Island will be ensured. Mobile Medical Service through launches is to be introduced is this area.

3.15 SANITATION

Total sanitation Campaign is an essential component of total Health Programme. TSC started

functioning in the District of North 24 Parganas during the last part of 2001-2002.

As per Base Line survey (BLS), it was made available that House Hold Latrines in the District of North 24 Parganas are required to be installed in 5,09,549 houses out of which 2,20,048 number of families are under BPL Category.

4,91,890 number of House Hold Latrines have been installed upto January,2009 which covers 96.53% of the total requirements.

Besides, to supplement the main CRSP activities, a School sanitation Programme was launched in the District to provide Toilet Complex in the Primary Schools of the District where such facility was lacing. So far, 5036 units of toilet Complex have been provided in




Educational Institutions viz. Primary, High, Madrasah etc. Besides, fund has been released for construction of toilet Complex in 548 ICDS centers, having own land.

The achievements of the last three years have undoubtedly been encouraging. So far, out of 200 numbers of Gram Panghayats in the District, 108 Gram Panghayats and 2 Panghayat Samities have been awarded Nirmal Gram Puraskar by the Government of India for full coverage of sanitation components.

But changing of sanitary behavior of the rural population in some pockets of the District still remains a challenging task. However, special drive has been undertaken in the identified pockets.

3.20 LABOUR

Development of the working classes is the ultimate goal both for the long run and short run planning on the subject of Labour. Even in the beginning of the decade Labour Department was mainly meant for maintaining industrial relation harmony and the implementation of different Labour Laws. Settlements of Industrial Disputes are mainly related to Organized Sector of Labour force. The spotlight has recently shifted to the unrecognized sector. But with a lesson of recent history it appears that there is no conflict between the objectives of




protecting the rights of the Organized Sector Worker, to that of providing welfare for Unrecognized Workers.

3.20.1 Present Scenario

At present, Labour Directorate deals with various Labour Laws, which mainly cater to the needs of the Organized Sector Workers. While such laws have succeeded in offering protection to the Organized Working class to a considerable extent, the majority of the Unrecognized Workers had till the threshold of the last century were being left behind. Keeping this in view, a number of Welfare Schemes targeted for the Unrecognized Workers have recently been introduced.

1) FAWLOI: Financial Assistance for Workers of Locked-out Industries (FAWLOI) aims at protecting the workers of Locked out industries of West Bengal. Initiated in the year, 1998, this scheme at present covers nearly 2600 workers in the district of North 24-Parganas.

2) SASPFUW: State Assistance Scheme of Provident Fund for Unrecognized Workers is a unique scheme covering the workers of scheduled unrecognized sector. Both the Rural and Urban Population are presently covered in this scheme. North 24-Parganas takes the honour of having enrolled 1,09,468 subscribers, the highest being in this State.

3) Revised Integrated Housing Scheme for Beedi Workers: This newly introduced scheme benefits those Beedi Workers who have their own plots of land. The Government renders Financial Assistance to the workers who have fulfilled the requisite criterions, as laid down in the provisions of the scheme.

4) West Bengal Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Condition of Services) Act, 1996: The newly introduced Act aims at providing various social security schemes to the Construction Workers. A separate West Bengal Building & Other Construction Workers Welfare Fund has been constituted for the accumulation of funds, collected from the cess under West Bengal Building & Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act and fees for the registration of establishments.

3.20.2 Objectives and Target

FAWLOI: Specification of target with regard to the inclusion of workers under Locked out Industries cannot be done for the next 5-10 years as number of beneficiaries solely depends on the number of Locked out Industries. It appears that from the new industrial boom, the number of closed down industries and the number of hampered workers could be well balanced.

SASPFUW: -

1. The scope of the scheme should be widened considering the total Unrecognized Workers standing 2623352 out of the total workers of 2988160 in the district as per the 2001 Census.

2. Enlarging the list of scheduled employment under SASPFUW is the need of the hour. Household maids, and self-employed workmen may be greatly included within the purview of the scheme.

3. Health insurance, house building loans and other Welfare facilities should be incorporated.

4. Computerization of the scheme should be done and a Data Bank orienting the number of Unrecognized Workers can be created.




BEEDI WORKERS: -

1. The existing scheme facilitates the factory workers, which is only 1% of the total workforce of the Beedi Workers, the rest belonging to the category of home workers. Hence, the prospect of covering these home workers ought to be considered for better coverage.

2. Welfare facilities, presently available for the workers of this sector provided by the Welfare Department of the Central Government ought to be broadened in relation to the health by opening hospitals for the Beedi Workers in the Sub-Divisions of Basirhat and Bongaon.

BOCW ACT: -

1. More stress will be given on increasing and maintaining the BOCW fund to facilitate the settlement of the claims raised by the beneficiaries.

2. Specifications of the welfare provisions mentioned in the Act shall be explored properly in order to increase the credibility of the new Act.

3. Amendment to the rules regarding the provision of registering the floating Construction Workers ought to be done so that those who work independently, and not under a specific contractor of 90 days can be included to get the benefits of this Act.

3.20.3 Implementation strategy

1. Implementation of various Labour Laws and Acts, and the penal provisions in case of contravention shall be made more stringent on the offending parties to ensure better safeguard to the working class.

2. The safety and welfare provisions, as provided in this act, and arrangement of extensive and regular inspection under these provisions shall be made to ensure better working condition.

3. Infrastructure of the offices under this Directorate should be made more improved and supportive such as creating an extensive and relevant database to work upon for implementation and the computerization of the whole procedures relating to the schemes, Laws and Acts in order to avoid the delay in providing service.

4. Extensive and thorough awareness programmes regarding the schemes shall be organized and active co-operation from all relevant departments, offices shall be sought for.

3.20.4 Shops & Establishment

Shops & Establishments mainly deals with registrations of Shops and Establishments, and protection of the employees thereof by providing appointment letters, fixing of working hours and leaves. The number of registered shops in this district and the number of employees engaged therein are very negligible. In view of the changing trade scenario, the growth of unrecognized worker in this sector will need the better implementation of this Act.

Labour Department is now need to discuss the buzzword of the Social Safety Net on women workers. In this district, a large number of women workers are involved in brickfield, hosiery, factories, and construction sites etc. Unlike the organized sector, there is very small number of welfare provision for providing special facilities to women workers such as crèches, toilets, urinals at work-site etc. Stress should be given on the above-mentioned factors with a special arrangement for pre-natal and post-natal care in hospitals for these unrecognized sector women workers. Schemes ought to be introduced regarding force saving from the source of




the earning of the women worker belonging to this sector, as their earnings get spent in some unwanted spheres without their consent.

3.23 TRANSPORT

Statistics on Passenger Transport Services of the D istrict and its Analysis:

The statistics of existing different passenger transport services based on the permits issued by the R.T.A. of this district are as follows.

1. a) Total No. of Ordinary Bus Service Routes : 38 b) Total No. of Buses on Ordinary Bus Service Routes : 450 2. a) Total No. of Express Bus Service Routes : 18 b) Total No. of Buses on Express Bus Service Routes : 275 3. a) Total No. of Mini Bus Service Routes : 1 b) Total No. of Buses on Mini Bus Service Routes : 10 4. a) Total No. of Trekker Service Routes : 6 b) Total No. of vehicles on Trekker Service Routes : 21 5. a) Total No. of Auto Rickshaw Service Routes : 231 b) Total No. of Auto Rickshaws on Auto Routes : 4666

6. a) Total No. of Tata Magic (Maxi Cub) Service Routes : 20 b) Total No. of Tata Magic (Maxi Cub) Services on Magic Routes : 62

(*The above statistics on permits is prepared from the permit database created recently and yet to be completed. But it is giving a almost clear picture, if not accurate.)

Apart form the above services there are also bus services of all kinds, for which permits were issued by the R.T.A. of the neighboring districts like Kolkata, Hooghly and Nadia, on the routes covering a major part of this district. Actually earlier the R.T.A. Kolkata had its jurisdiction over Kolkata and 24 Parganas (undivided) till the division of 24 Parganas district and all the routes relevant to this district are yet to be transferred from Kolkata R.T.A.

In addition to the above, a number of bus services from different points of this district to Kolkata and other parts are in operation on the strength of permits issued by S.T.A. and also services on long distance routes passing through this district are being operated by STU’s




and private operators. A comprehensive study on these additional services is to be made separately to prepare the statistics on such services.

However it is clear from the above statistics that the share of passenger vehicles for public service in the total vehicle population is very low i.e. 6.76% and out of that auto rickshaw is nearly 43.98% and route bus is only 19.74%. On the other hand the population of vehicles for private use is too high (car & omni 14.98% and two wheeler 55.46%) – this statistics does not show the true picture of the ratio of private vehicles, because the registration data of those vehicles are not exhaustive in the computer like the transport vehicles. This will obviously increase if all the vehicles are included. It shows the significant difference between the passenger’s demands for transport services and the availability of public service vehicles in the district.

The ever-increasing cost of fuel and spare parts is no doubt the cause of increase in operational cost of buses and as such the business prospect of this sector is no longer brighter now. Also unhealthy competition is the result of indiscriminate and unplanned creation of overlapping routes by the R.T.A.’s of the adjoining districts as well as S.T.A. without any proper study. On the other hand illegal operation of small vehicles like trekkers, auto rickshaws and engine-vans, carrying passengers for short distance and plying on the bus routes, is posing a real problem.

The engine-vans are self-made, unauthorized and dangerous to public life and property. Those are not regarded as ‘Motor Vehicle’, since those do not conform to the technical specifications, other requirements and standards of pollution as prescribed under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988. As such it is not possible either to take action or to regularize these vehicles, as an alternative mode of transport and their number is growing fast.

The problems of the passenger transport services of this district can easily be guessed from the above discussion. But there is no doubt that bus-service is the most useful, safe and economical mode of transport on the main arterial routes of the district. Trekkers and auto rickshaws are to be used as supplementary mode of transport to the bus services operated from the interior and remote rural areas and should not be allowed to ply on main arterial routes. Operation of engine-vans is to be stopped immediately considering the safety of the passengers. On the other hand the growth of bus services is to be encouraged by restricting these illegal services as well as creating new viable routes.

As far as goods transport is concerned, the private operators normally control this sector and the R.T.A. has a little role to play to control these services. Only the restriction or regulation of goods traffic in congested urban / town areas needs to be attended in the interest of free flow of traffic. Restriction of heavy vehicles may be imposed in town areas to encourage growth of light goods vehicles in the district. Modern ‘Truck Terminal’ with all amenities at different points for parking of heavy vehicles and their loading and unloading facilities needs to be considered. The inward movement of goods traffic from outside, carrying coal, raw material, steel, especially in the industrial areas and fertilizer, cement, building materials and petroleum products in other parts of the district and the outward movement from the district, carrying mainly agricultural and fisheries products, are to be studied and taken into account to make a true assessment of the direction of movement and the pattern of goods traffic in the district. Connectivity with different warehouses and railway sidings are to be studied also. This study and assessment will help to plan the basic requirement for the development of flow of goods traffic in the district.




The importance of water-transport in this district is significant. Transportation of both passengers and goods by river traffic mainly on the river Hooghly in the western part, on the Ichhamati in the eastern part and other rivers in Sunderban areas is the important and useful part of the transport system of this district. Launches, mechanized boats and country boats are basically used in the water-transport sector and jetties or ghats are the integral part of this system. The statistics on ferry ghats or jetties and also on the number launches, mechanized boats or country boats placed in operation in the district is to be prepared. The number of passengers benefited or quantity of goods transported and the areas connected by this mode of transport needs to be assessed to prepare a comprehensive picture of this sector in this district.

Different aspects of planning of the transport syst em in the district:

An integrated and comprehensive planning of the transport system with different kinds and modes of transports in the district is very important. While in the remote Sundarban areas transport system is mainly dependent on water transport, in the other part of the district road-transport and railway service is playing the important role. The only and the important international airport is also in this district. The transport system shall have city-nature in Salt Lake, urban style in the town areas around Barasat and Barrackpore and also meet the rural needs in other parts; so its planning should be comprehensive.

The following points are considered as vision of the transport system.

1. Coordination between all modes of transport is to be made. The system is to be planned in a manner to supplement each mode to the other and to avoid clash of their interest as far as practicable.

2. Trekker and auto rickshaw routes are to be reorganized, wherever it is possible, only to ply from the interior areas as link routes to the bus routes. The local authorities are to be involved to suggest the link routes to serve the interest of traveling public in the rural areas.

3. Bus, trekker and auto rickshaw routes are to be drawn as link routes to water-transport and railway services for better convenience of the public. Trekker and auto rickshaws are not to be allowed to have their stands near the bus stops.

4. An assessment of operation of services on different directions or routes with the average number of passengers traveling is to be done and it is to be updated periodically.

5. The updated reports on development of new roads (metal/non-metal) under different schemes like PMGSY etc. and bridges are to be utilized regularly to plan the transport system.

6. Passenger transport for the city areas is to be considered separately in view of their special need. Transport planning for the upcoming Rajarhat-Newtown area is to be prepared in advance now.

7. STU ‘s are to be requested to provide service on different local routes in the interest of the passengers

8. Special attention is to be given to provide comfortable and specific type of transport for the air-passengers to and from the airport considering the high importance of the airport in the present scenario.

9. Direction and movement of goods traffic from and to different parts of the district is to be assessed to assist to plan the control of traffic within the district.

10. A detailed map on the existing transport system laid on the available road network will be of immense help to get a clear picture of the transport system instantly.

11. Importance of regulation of traffic in congested urban areas is to be underlined with special attention on the following points.




a) The carriageways of the main roads are to be kept free for free flow of vehicular traffic.

b) Unauthorized encroachments of footpath or flanks of the roads are to be removed. Especially operation of vehicle repairing or body building garages right on the highways are causing serious problems.

c) Parking lots or bus stops in the town areas are to be specified and to be strictly followed.

d) Trekker and auto rickshaws are not to be allowed to have their stands near the bus

e) Movement of slow moving vehicles like rickshaws, vans etc. on main roads in the important town areas are to be restricted totally or at least in the busy hours.

f) Growth of slow moving vehicles is also to be kept under control for better and easier management, – for this purpose the local authorities (Municipality or Panchayet) may be asked to assess the actual number of such vehicles and also not to allow further growth without consulting the appropriate authority.

g) One-way traffic movement, in case of requirement and feasibility, is to be imposed.

h) Flyovers at the busy intersection on important roads are to be proposed and implemented and their use to ensure free flow of traffic is to be planned.

i) Construction of underpass for the pedestrians on important roads like VIP road (at Baguihati, Kestopur etc) and B.T. Road (at Dunlopmore, Sinthimore, Chiriamore etc.) needs to be considered.

11. Construction of bus terminus at least at each sub-divisional H.Q. must be planned. Bus stands at the important points with minimum facilities like passenger shade, toilets, drinking water etc. are to be considered also. In the town areas bus stoppages should be earmarked.

12. Maintenance of jetties and ferry ghats are to be given preference to ensure safety of passengers. Construction of new ferry ghats according to the need may be considered.

13. Truck terminal and parking lot at the international border entry points and other points on the periphery of the city areas are to be constructed with all amenities to cope up with the increasing traffic load.

14. By pass of the highways (NH-34 & NH-35) to avoid Barasat town, the H.Q. of the district, is to be considered for uninterrupted and speedy movement of heavy goods traffic. No slow moving vehicle should be allowed on such roads. A circular road surrounding Barasat town may also be planned for the future.

15. Important roads, both State and National Highways, including their flanks on both sides are to be maintain and upgraded to cope up with the increased traffic load.

16. Roads on both the flanks of Noai Khal connecting Sodepur and Madhyamgram for smooth flow of traffic may be planned.

17. To make a comprehensive planning of the transport system of the district considering all the points as stated above it is important to have coordination between the related departments or agencies like M.V. Deptt, PWD / NHAI, Police, Municipalities and Zilla Parishad, Inland Water Transport Directorate etc. to get the relevant and useful information.

18. Extension of Metro Railway up to Barrackpore and Barasat is proposed 19. Passenger Water service through Ichhamati River is proposed 20. There should be a Plan for car parking in respect of different stands of buses, taxis,

trekkers, autos, trucks etc. specially in B.T. Road, Jessore Road, Taki Road and Krishnanagar Road.

In the course of review the district health plan, laid down earlier in 2008-09, the following points, pertinent to P.H.E.Dte" s activities in this district, may be observed :

• P.H.E.Dte has rendered the best possible effort to cover up rural population upto 51.40 % by PWSS which is 1.10% more than the last years coverage.

• 1228 nos. H.B.Tubewells have been sunk in different blocks of this district in 2009-10.

• A pilot project on preparation of village action plan as per National Rural Drinking Water Program, has been completed at Haroa Block. This will direct the futuristic approach toward ensuring life line drinking water security and long term sustainability of rural water supply schemes.

It is customary to mention that, P.H.E.Dte. carries out supply of drinking water to the rural mass of this district by the following conventional means :

1) Piped water supply schemes with big dia tubewells as source (PWSS). 2) Surface water based piped water supply schemes (SBWSS). 3) Hand bored tubewells (HBTW).

Presently coverage by PWSS is about 51.40 % of rural population. Besides those schemes 19802 nos. H.B. tubewells are functioning all over this district. Four blocks like Barasat-I, Barrackpore-II, Amdanga and Deganga have partilly been covered by surface water based PWSS. Thus taking into account all these methods of water supply it may be asserted that 100% of rural moujas have been covered by any kind of the above mentioned water supply schemes. But it is a known fact that in many blocks of this district ground water is contaminated by arsenic and excessive iron content. With due regard to eliminate those hazardous minerals 27 nos. I.E.P. are running for 20 nos. ground water PWSS in this district. More over work is going on full phase for 70 nos. ground water based P.W.S.S. under Arsenic submission program to cover up affected populations of nine nos. blocks of this district (see table annexed herewith). When those schemes will be commissioned, expectedly by 2011, near about 74% of rural population may be served with safe drinking water from PWSS.

3.26.2 Pond Based Water Supply Scheme

One pond based water supply scheme at Tyantra Neora has already been running in Basirhat-II block since 2004-05 and the same scheme serves 4283 (2001 census population) persons in 2 nos.moujas. A large scale pond based water supply scheme namely Mathura Bill Water Body PWSS has been sanctioned for this district which will intake pond water from Mathura Bill of Barackpore-I block and after a series of treatment of same water 15 nos. villages will be supplied through PWSS (see table annexed herewith). The scheme will likely be commissioned in 2012-13. It is emphasized here that in many villages, particularly in salaine water belt of surderban area, sweet water can not be met with at adequate depth below G.L. where as large ponds/lakes etc. in those areas usually contain sweet water and in those places such pond based schemes may successfully constructed for benefit local villagers. It is therefore a plea to




district level planning cell to pay an active thought to such proposal of pond based water supply schemes.

3.26.10 Rain Water Harvesting

Nearly about a decade brain storming is going on how to save rain water for the purpose of mitigation of drinking water crisis by constructing Rain water harvesting structures. But no




positive and fruitful result has yet been come up in this district. This is because lack of awareness generation and communication building among the villagers. In the near future I.E.C. programmes must be undertaken with the help of CCDU/PHEDte., NGOS, Self Help Groups at sub division, block and gram panchayat levels to make the villagers conversant about necessity of saving water and construction of rain water harvesting structures at their capacity.

3.26.11 Recharging of Ground Water

It is a point of great concern that ground water depletion is likely to touch the alarming limit in many parts of this district. This is owing to excessive extraction of ground water mainly due to cultivation purpose. Central Ground Water Board has introduced some binding rules for restricting use of ground water which should strictly be maintained and scrutinized time to time by district level regulating authority. More over awareness should be built up among villagers regarding use of ground water recharging methods to alleviate the shrinkage of ground water.

3.26.12 Water Quality monitoring

This district is well equipped with three nos. departmental laboratories, at

1) Office of the Executive Engineer, Barasat division, Barasat. 2) Ashes Roy, Water Testing Laboratory, Taki. 3) Water Testing Laboratory at Mangal Pandey W.T.P., Barackpore.

Besides those, there are five nos. NGO based laboratories namely -

1) Paschim Banga Bingyan Mancha, Barasat DRDA Complex. 2) BethariDisha 3) CADC, Deganga 4) Pather Pachali Seva Samity, Champaberia 5) Foset, North 24 Parganas. 6) YDC, Sandeshkhali-II 7) Sarbik Vivekananda, Hingalganj

In each laboratories there are facilities of testing both the chemical as well as bacteriological qualities of water In the events of sporadic outburst of gastrointestinal diseases out of bacterial contamination of piped water in the recent past at various places of this district, emphasis must be given for thorough investigation of bacteriological quality with special attention to test the concentration of V. Cholerae, if any, in water mainly collected from P.W.S.S. of affected localities.

It is also a point of concern that for better monitoring of water quality there should set up water testing laboratories at Sub Division level and if possible at block level.

It is also to mention that for cross checking of test results at least 30% of samples should be sent to district level laboratories from block/sub Divisional level laboratories and 10% of samples tested, including positively tested samples, at district level laboratories may be sent to state level referral laboratories.

In fact, beside PHE Dte., some other agencies like KMDA/KMWSA and the Municipalities in this district maintain their respective water supply schemes. Therefore, a broad Co-ordination




should be built up among these organizations along with the department of district health administration for the sake of eradication of water borne diseases in near future.

3.26.13 Target in Plan Period

In the next 5 years out of 50% left out rural population by Piped Water Supply Schemes about 30% will be covered and it is expected that in the next 10 years we shall be able to cover all the rural population by Piped Water Supply Schemes.

Now for urban coverage, all the existing Municipal Piped Water Supply Schemes should necessarily be upgraded in the next 5 years to cover up the left out population.

It has become a matter of deep concern that because of drawal of underground water in an unplanned way, day by day, the ground water depletion reaches in a alarming stage. Storing of rainwater for human use-popularly known as Rainwater harvesting method, is to be a solution to prevent loss of ground water. Recharging of ground water is also possible through Rainwater Harvesting.

In conclusion it would be worthy to mention that general awareness is to be built up for proper use of water. Misuse of water is major problem to supply adequate quantity of water to the people. Hence "Stop misuse of water" shall be slogan for the plan period

Step has been taken towards awareness creation towards construction of calamity proof house building making use of up to date technology. On 15th December to 17th December, 2008 one orientation camp was organized by the District Disaster Management Authority with the help of Science and Technology Council & Department, Government of West Bengal and Central Building Research Institute, Rookee. Assistant Engineer, Sub-Assistatnt Engineer and masons have been trained.

3.29 POLLUTION CONTROL

Today we stand at the crossroads in choosing between environment and development. This is mainly attributed to haphazard and unplanned development leading to untold pollution problem, over exploitation of resources, poor land use capability, environmental risks and increasing public interest litigation against non-compliance with environmental norms. Conventional environmental management techniques like pollution control at source and regulatory mechanisms are having limitations in reducing environmental problems significantly. Presently regional plans that in-build environmental components and provide for developmental activities to be carried out in compatible land use has limited existence in India.

However, it is well recognized that protection of environment can be achieved effectively by proper planning and management of various spatial entities like water resources, land, settlements, forests, developmental sectors etc. The need for environmental administration to become active in the field of environmental planning is founded in the Environmental Protection Act 1986, the emphasis on spatial approach to environmental management is further substantiated in the Environmental Protection Rules 1986.

North 24 Parganas is a district with densely populated urban fringe of the metropolitan city of Kolkata with already built Salt Lake City and the up-coming new city at Rajarhat and the remote riverine villages in the Sundarbans. It covers an area of 14,052 sq.km and has population strength of 89,30,295 (Census-2001). This district has been the witness to partition of Bengal, which led to migration of huge population who had settled down on the banks of the River Ganga and its irrigation Canals for earning their livelihood. This created a stress on the natural resources of the entire district, which had a direct and indirect adverse impact on the environment of the district.

In most existing industries, more so in the small-scale sector, environmental management has not been taken up in a comprehensive and complete form. Waste management, water recycling, landscaping or noise protection has not been planned or implemented in a systematic manner. Consideration of economic factors maximizes profit over a short period but consideration of environmental factors minimizes liabilities over a longer period. Environmental planning is hence justified and can streamline the decision making process.

Among the major industries of the District, Jute, Pulp & Paper, Engineering, Chemical & Pharmaceuticals, Ceramic Industries, Dyeing and Bleaching, Power Plant, Brickfields, and Rice Mills, etc. are notable. In 1997, the Pollution Control Board put in place a policy for setting new industries. Industries were divided into three main categories depending on their potential to cause pollution, namely, Red, Orange and Green. New industrial units falling in




the Red category are not permitted to be set up in the municipalities in the Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA). Obvious exceptions to the above rule are hospitals, which ought to be allowed subject to comply with the rules on pollution control, as applicable to them. Orange category industries are not permitted to come up in areas under the Kolkata and Howrah Municipal Corporations, unless they are within industrial estates. Again, a major exception is hotels and restaurants, which fall in this category, but they are also allowed even in congested areas subject to their compliance with pollution control standards. Green category industries may be set up anywhere subject to the approval by the local body.

To assess the overall environmental status of the State, the Board monitors the air quality and water quality at different stations distributed evenly all over KMA and significant industrial hubs of the state. The water quality monitoring parameters are BOD, DO, Faecal Coliform and Total Coliform at Palta and Dakshineshwar within the district. There are some Arsenic prone areas in and around Barasat, which need in-depth analysis of various water quality parameters. The Air Pollution Sensitivity and the Water Pollution sensitivity (both surface and ground) can be an important decision making tool with respect to accommodating new developmental activities, or imposing stricter emission and effluent standards for existing developmental activities which are polluting in nature.

‘Strengthening of Infrastructure of SPCBS/PCCS’ .

Under this project, with financial assistance from MOEF, the Board started inventory of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) & Biomedical Waste (BMW) in 126 municipalities of the state which included 27 municipalities of this district (out of these 27 nos, 20 nos are situated inside KMA). To improve the present status of the BMW management system, two common Biomedical Waste Treatment & Disposal facilities are operating at Belgachia & Kalyani, where waste management services are provided in lieu of service charge.

Model MSW Management Facility of North Dum Dum & Ne w Barrackpore Municipalities.

This is a model project on MSW management with financial support by the CPCB and KMDA on 50:50 cost sharing basis. Phase I is basically for designing and setting up of collection, segregation, storage and transportation system for MSW and in Phase II the setting up of Common Compost Plant and land fill facility was done. The work under Phase I has been completed by both the municipalities.

Increased consumption of Plastics has put severe pressure on our ecosystem In a direction issued by WBPCB specific tourist /heritage spots of the state were declared ‘Plastic Carry Bag Free Zones’. Future strategies for the effective enforcement of the order with respect to site-specific problems have been outlined. The board has collaborated with the ‘Bazar Samity’ of Kolkata Municipal Corporation and small-scale jute/paper manufactures for adopting measures to restrict the use of plastic carry bags in shops and markets in a phased manner and the same approach should be adopted for this district.

‘Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization of Sma ll Scale Industrial Units in KMA

The Project has been instrumental in phasing out of all coal fired small boilers and down draft coal fired ceramic kilns to switch over to cleaner fuels like oil or gas instead of coal. These small industries located in heavily congested areas of the city, are required to comply with




emission standard of 150 mg/Nm3 for particulate matter. The case of cluster of ceramic industries in Belghoria within Kamarhati Municipality is worth mention here

A large number of ceramic units in Belghoria have changed their coal fired downdraft kiln to oil fired shuttle kiln. Also industries having small coal fired boilers have changed their fuel from coal to oil and industries having boilers with capacity more than 2 MT/hr have installed air pollution control system. All these have resulted in huge reduction of particulate matter emission. The project has also resulted in significant reduction of emission of CO2 a green house gas.

3.29.1 Ecologically Sensitive Zones of the District

Wetlands and Water bodies in the District Wetlands are basically wetlands where the soil is saturated with water for at least sometime during the year which include a variety of habitats ranging from peat bogs to mangrove forests, ponds and marshes to floodplains, estuaries and coastal salt marshes. The economic benefits of wetlands are fisheries; agriculture, maintenance of water tables; grazing; timber production; energy resources, such as peat and plant matter; transport; and recreation and tourism opportunities. It also nurture and provide sustenance to biological diversity, as is evident from the concentrations of birds (especially waterfowl), mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrate species, as well as countless plant species that they support. Another is their association with open landscapes, wildlife, local traditions, etc. The State Government has constituted the 17-member East Kolkata Wetlands Management Authority headed by Chief Secretary to provide for conservation and management of the East Kolkata wetlands some parts of which fall in this district. This measure is also imperative in view of an increasing pressure on land for human settlement leading to filling up of the wetlands. Management of Sunderban Biosphere The Sunderban delta is the largest mangrove forest in the world. It is a region of transition between the freshwater of the rivers originating from the Ganges and the saline water of the Bay of Bengal .The area is known for its wide range of fauna. The most famous among these are the man-eating Royal Bengal Tigers, numerous species of birds, spotted deer, crocodiles and snakes. However, in this district the core area is very less and confined in Jhingekhali. During each monsoon season the area gets submerged. One of the greatest challenges people living on the Ganges Delta may face in coming years is the threat of rising sea levels caused mostly by subsidence in the region and partly by climate change. A number of industries (e.g. newsprint mill, match factory, hardboard, boat building, furniture making) are based on the raw material obtained from the Sundarbans ecosystem.

The management of Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve has three major components:

1. Restoration of the unique mangrove ecosystem of Sundarbans and conservation of its biodiversity.

2. Development of sustainable economic, social activities of the population living in the Biosphere Reserve




3. Facilitating research, monitoring, education and training to perpetuate the achievements made.

Sunderban Development Board deals with the above.

The main activities to achieve the above goals include:

1) Protection of Mangrove Ecosystem through intensification of surveillance 2) Habitat Improvement through soil conservation for stabilisation of the mudflats,

restoration of mangrove eco-system, stabilization of the embankments, conservation of the threatened species; afforestation with fast-growing and indigenous species

3) Land Development and improvement of soil-moisture 4) Distribution of seedlings for planting on private lands 5) Habitat Development Activities 6) Reduction of Man-Animal conflict 7) Eco-Development and JFM support activities 8) Confidence building activities between the foresters and forest fringe including

Community Development Projects e.g. Construction of irrigation canals for rainwater harvesting, construction of sweet water ponds for irrigation as well as fresh water pisciculture etc.

Parmadan Sanctuary located in Bagdah has witnessed an increase in number of herbivorous animal particularly deer and the concerned department has already formulated a management plan for balancing the ecosystem of the sanctuary.

3.29.2 Air Pollution from Brick Field

Brick industry is one of the largest consumers of coal in the country and it is one of the important sources of carbon dioxide emission in the country. Other air pollutants from brick kilns are:-

• PM emissions from chimney, generated mainly due to incomplete combustion of fuel(black smoke) or comes from the fine coal dust, ash present in coal and burnt clay particles.

• Hydrocrabons and carbon monoxide due to incomplete combustion of fuel. • Sulphur oxides, concentration of which mainly depends on the amount of sulphur

present in the coal and is significant where high sulphur content coal is used. • Dust pollution generated during removal and layingt down of ash layer on the top of

the kiln and also due to blowing of ash stacked on the top and sides of the kiln. While the local impact of pollution caused by small isolated brick kilns located in rural areas is not likely to be significant, it is the large cluster of brick kiln, located in the vicinity of large brick demand centres (towns and cities) that the important cause of concern. Rapid urbanization has resulted in expansion of these clusters. Air pollution in these clusters affects the workers, nearby local residents as well as crops in the vicinity.

Measures to reduce air pollution from brick kilns Air pollution from brick kilns can be reduced with the following: -

a) Measures to reduce generation of pollutants at source e.g improving the combustion efficiency.

b) Measures to control or reduce the impacts of the emissions e.g. • To use an “add on” device to remove pollutants from the stack gases e.g. Gravity

Settling Chamber and wet scrubber with lime water tratement. • Planned dispersion to control local air quality e.g provision of taller chimneys.




Measures to reduce generation of pollutants • Improving combustion – Important source of air pollution is incomplete combustion

of fuel. Roughly about 10% of fuel used remains urburnt or partly burnt. By improving the kiln operation, particularly by increasing the draught, improving air control and improving fuel-feeding practices, the urburnt can be reduced to a large extent.

• Energy efficiency measures – Apart from the improvement in combustion process, it

is possible to reduce energy consumption by 10-15% by making small improvements in kiln design, construction and operation. Better kiln insulation and increase in fire travel rate is the key to energy conservation in the kilns.

Measures to control/reduce impact of pollutants Add-on devices – Gravity Settling Chamber Reduction in pollution generation at source by better utilization of fuel is the best way to control pollution. However, it is not always possible to reduce the emissions to a level below the acceptable limit just by improvement in combustion and energy conservation measures. In these circumstances techniques to arrest pollutants before they are released in the atmosphere are employed. These techniques involve use of filters, scrubbers, gravity settling chambers etc. In case of fied chimney kilns gravity settling chamber, the most basis technique for arresting SPM is employed. It should be kept in mind that all the techniques for arresting pollutants result in pressure loss and hence require additional energy. Low flue gas velocities and draught in fixed chimney kilns make it virtually impossible to use any other add-on device other than gravity settling chamber.

Planned dispersion – Tall chimney The harmful effect of pollutants locally can be reduced by reduction in concentration of pollutants through dispersion of pollutants in a large area. That is why recommendations for taller chimneys are given. Tall chimneys ensure release of pollutants at a higher height, which gives more time to pollutants to disperse in the atmosphere before before reaching the ground Recommendations For future setting of any industry or developmental activity, detailed micro-level studies shall be carried out to find out the site suitability taking into consideration about population density, distance from ecologically sensitive zones etc. Buffer zones shall be provided according to presence of incompatible surrounding land use.

3.29.3 Water Resource Development and Management

It recognizes the interrelationship between water and land use. For developing strategies for sustainable water management, the major issues of concern are:

♦ Inefficiency in resource management: Excessive distribution loss in municipal water supply systems, high seepage loss in irrigation, loss in agriculture due to over application, low industrial productivity of water etc.

♦ Pricing Policies for water use in different sectors ♦ Institutional Reforms and Legal Framework for planning and development of Water

Development Projects ♦ Demand Management and Water Conservation




Since the District covers a large part of River Ganga Basin, under the National River Action Plan, the issue of river pollution has been addressed adequately through the Ganga Action Plan (GAP-I & GAP II) activities. In the first phase of the action plan the municipalities situated on the river that had been identified for action were Baranagar, Kamarhati, Khardah, Panihati & Bhatpara. In the second phase the municipalities identified for the action plan included Halisahar, Kanchanrapara, Barrackpore, North Barrackpore, Naihati & Khardah. All the progrmmes have been implemented along with KMDA, KMWSA and MED. The Core activities of GAP include inception and diversion of sewage through sewage treatment plant, construction of sewage treatment plant and oxidation ponds, compliance with permissible standards for liquid effluent and solid wastes discharged from industries located on the bank of the river. The Non Core activities include improving the quality of river water so that water quality conforms to the drinking water quality with conventional treatment/ Outdoor bathing and so that aquatic life can survive in the river and so on. Besides, studies are being carried out to evaluate the environmental status of some important canals viz. Bagjola Canal, Ichapore Canal, Noai Canal where restoration of water quality is urgently required. The water samples were collected in different seasons to get the seasonal variation of water quality and improve the water quality. Recommendations of test results shall be followed religiously through awareness and policy implementation.

3.29.4 Air Pollution Control and Management

Automobile Exhaust has been recognized as a major source of air pollution. Apart from pollutants like PM, NOX, CO, Pb, a number of other pollutants significantly affect human health as well as growth of plant and agricultural crops. The Pollution Control Board have taken a number of actions e.g. Introduction of stringent emission norms in a phase wise manner for new passenger cars in KMA, improvement of fuel quality, up gradation of Auto Emission Testing Centers etc. Development of better infrastructure facilities including construction of new roads like Barrackpore Kalyani Expressway, Belghoria Expressway, Jessore Road/ Dakshineswar connector and widening of existing roads like Sodepur Madhyamgram Road and Jessore Road have improved the environmental status of the district considerably. Green Belts are usually recommended for containment and abatement of air pollution in urban and industrial environment. Traditional fuels, such as firewood, crop residues and dung, being the only option for the poor causes household indoor air pollution and affects women and children. Modern commercial energy sources, such as kerosene, electricity, and LPG promote improved forms of energy. Markets should be developed to encourage investors to provide modern energy services to rural communities. Policy at national level has been taken for transfer of Canadian technical expertise for conversion of existing petrol driven auto rickshaws of Bangalore and Kolkata to LPG. This district shall harvest the benefit to a great extent.

3.29.5 Integrated System for Waste Management .

Despite the fact that waste production is minimized and wastes are reused and recycled, some wastes still remain and have an impact on the environment. An integrated system of waste management may include the following strategies.




• Reviewing waste minimization instruments e.g. adopting clean technology, changing product design, facilitating transfer of technology and identifying new economic instruments for use.

• Formulating economic and regulatory mechanisms in a way so as to support the principle that those who generate wastes pay for their disposal.

• Develop and strengthen national capacity to reuse waste in increasing proportion by providing incentives, changing existing norms for avoiding discrimination against recycled material.

• Establish financial mechanisms for waste management services in deprived areas especially the urban areas.

REUTER reported on Aug 18, 2010 about DROUGHT in West Bengal “West Bengal, country's largest rice producer, has declared 11 districts of the state drought affected due to deficit rainfall”…...”The state government, in order to tackle the drought, has decided to infuse 500 million rupees as a relief package for the affected farmers"..…."We found that Purulia, Nadia, Malda, North and South 24 Parganas, West and East Midnapore, Bankura, Birbhum and Burdwan had received 30 percent less rainfall in the monsoon season."….. "Due to rainfall shortage around 1.1 million hectares of paddy crops have been affected out of targeted 4.4 million hectares for the kharif season", Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta said. The findings also revealed that the lack of rains has severely affected the sowing of summer sown rice in Kharif season. The government has also proposed to encourage the cultivation




alternative crops like maize, wheat, sesame and oilseeds in kharif and rabi season in the state and the seeds would be distributed free of cost.

HINDUSTAN TIMES quoted ‘Press Trust Of India’ Burdwan, August 21, 2010 West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Saturday said Purulia is the worst affected among the drought-hit districts of the state. "With agricultural production falling down to 6.5 per cent, Purulia is most affected by the drought. In Birbhum, Bankura, Hoogly and Burdwan, the production has fallen down to 30, 33, 74 and 77 per cent respectively," he told reporters in Burdwan after a meeting with district officials. The state government has also asked the Centre to send a review team to the drought-affected districts. To ensure that the rabi harvest is not affected, the state's agriculture department will distribute free seeds of maize, oil seeds and dal…."We had demanded Rs 1400 crore from the Centre to give work for 100 days under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) scheme, but the Centre has given as only Rs 170 crore, leading to a halt in the allotment of work," Bhattacharjee said.

Eleven districts of the state have been declared as drought-hit with the state government allocating Rs 50 crore to tackle the situation caused by a rain deficit of 30 per cent.

THE HINDU reported on ‘Drought-like situation in West Bengal’

The threat of a drought looms over several parts of West Bengal because of inadequate rainfall which could have serious repercussions on paddy production, Minister for Agriculture Naren Dey said here on Thursday. “The situation is very serious, particularly in the South Bengal districts including Purulia, Bankura, Birbhum, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur,” Mr. Dey told The Hindu. Nearly 50 per cent of cultivable land in these districts will not bear any produce because of the scanty rains. It is possible that cultivation on nearly 11 lakh hectares of land will not be possible, Mr. Dey informed. “The paddy crop will be severely affected with a shortfall in production of about 27 lakh tonnes,” he added. This would be the second successive year when certain parts of the State have faced a drought-like situation. Nearly two lakh hectares of land was left uncultivated last year because of a delayed monsoon even though the deficiency in rainfall over the entire season was marginal.

Livelihood Sector

Awareness The communication of information to the public is central to risk management. Vulnerable people need to know about the hazards and risks they face and the measures they can take to mitigate and prepare for potential disasters. Without such knowledge, they cannot easily mobilise to protect themselves. Development and disaster professionals also need to know about the views and priorities of the vulnerable groups they are trying to help.

The aim of awareness / public education programme is to create what is often called a ‘culture of safety’, where awareness of risk and adoption of risk reduction measures are part of daily life. It is relatively easy to improve understanding of hazards and risks and how to deal with them, but harder to change people’s behaviour so that they take up appropriate measures, individually or collectively.

Following methods will be used to raise awareness about risk reduction:

-Production and distribution of public information leaflets and posters.

-Public exhibitions about risks

-Hazard and risk maps

-Participatory vulnerability analysis and community action planning events

-Community training

-Making the anniversaries of major disasters

-Holding annual events to highlight disaster issues

-Simple visual devices in public places

-Exchange visits

Disaster Management Department, Line departments (Agricultural, Animal Resources Dept., PHED, School Education, University, Engineering College, etc.) and NGOs

Throughout the year




Agriculture -Use of Bio- compost, bio- fertilizer, seed bank preparation, minimum use of chemical fertilizer, promotion of effective contingency crop planning to deal with year to year climate variations.

-Promotion of effective crop diversification program including the use of hazard resistant crops, to deal with shifts in climate patterns.

-Ensuring sustainable livelihoods in areas of recurrent climate risks by promoting supplementary income generation from off-farm (e.g. animal husbandry) and non-farm activities (e.g. handicrafts).

-Promotion of effective insurance and credit schemes to compensate for agricultural related damage and losses to livelihoods due to natural.

8.1 MAINSTREAMING DISASTER RISK REDUCTION INTO DEVE LOPMENTAL PROCESS

8.1.1 Concept on Mainstreaming

Disaster impacts considerably all the sectors of development and thus results in a serious social and economic setback to the development. On the other hand, the process of development, and the kind of development choices made in many areas, sometimes creates disaster risks. The intricate relationship between disaster and development is outlined in the following Table.

Economic Development Social Development

Disaster limits development

Destruction of fixed assets. Loss of production capacity, market access or material inputs. Damage to transport, Communications or energy infrastructure. Erosion of livelihoods, savings and physical capital.

Destruction of health or education infrastructure and personnel. Death, disablement or migration of key social actors leading to an erosion of social capital.

Development causes disaster risk

Unsustainable development practices that create wealth for some at the expense of unsafe working or living conditions for others or degrade the environment.

Development paths generating cultural norms that promote social isolation or political exclusion

Development reduces disaster risk

Access to adequate drinking water, food, waste management and a secure dwelling increases people’s resiliency. Trade and technology can reduce poverty.

Investing in financial mechanisms and social security can cushion against vulnerability.

Building community cohesion, Recognizing excluded individuals or social groups (such as women), and providing opportunities for greater involvement in decision-making, enhanced educational and health capacity increases resiliency.

Further, mainstreaming is a cross-cutting issue which requires political commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge and know-how, responsible risk sensitive development planning and practice, a people-centred early warning system and disaster response mechanisms. In addition, safeguarding human rights and integrating gender concerns are central to achieving mainstreaming concepts at the local level.

10.1 EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION (ESF) OF THE DISTRICT

The interdependence of facilities and their management creates a difficult situation for disaster managers during a disaster. Therefore a crisis situation demands the attention and assistance of experts from different fields and sectors in order to ensure a quick and effective recovery. However if the assistance provided is not predefined and coordinated it can lead to slow progress and response gets adversely affected. Keeping this aspect of disaster management in view, thirteen Emergency Support Functions have been conceptualized to take care of various response and infrastructure facilities, imperative for immediate as well as long term response to disasters. The Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) are various identified response teams, which will assess their strength before any emergency and accordingly will prepare there Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs) to mitigate any disaster. These ESFs form an integral part of the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC) and each ESF should coordinate its activities from the DEOC. For an effective operational system of the ESFs the following points are to be ensured:

• Individual ESFs must prepare their SOPs and plan • These plans would be integrated to form the District Response Plan • Time to time each ESF will be engaged in simulation exercise to find out their gaps

and correct themselves • They have to update their response system regularly

The list of 13 identified ESFs, their team leaders and the participating agencies are briefed in the following table:

ESF – 1: COORDINATION As a part of the disaster preparedness activities, the district administration ensures various precautionary measures well in advance e,g Installation of the Control Room, repair of identified breaches in river and canal embankments including, safe guarding of weak points, recording and submission of daily rainfall report, river water level reading, revamping of zonal offices, prepositioning of power/ country boats and deployment of staff, installation of temporary VHF stations, arrangement for keeping telephone and telegraph lines in order, storage of food stuff, fodder, fuel, arrangement for agricultural/ health/ veterinary measures, selection of flood/ cyclone shelters, etc. The government officials of different line departments have been alerted for any unforeseen situation and deployment of staff for emergency duty for pre, during and post disaster periods. Every possible Cooperation from all the line departments has been sought for by the district administration in combating the severe situation due to natural calamities At the block level the BDO, Jt BDOs, Sabhapati, Karmadhyakshas, BDMO, IDO, BLDO, BWO, ADO, BIO, BMOH, Officer In Charges of Police Stations, SDO (Telecommunication) SAEs and AEs of Irrigation, PWD, PHE, Electricity, etc. have been requested to take all precautionary and




preparatory measures and to remain alert to face the challenge of any disaster. The other government officials have also been apprised of their roles and responsibilities to be played during pre – disaster arrangement and during/post – disaster Management. ESF – 2: COMMUNICATION Departmental Plans: The Department of Information and public Relations in coordination with the Department of Telecommunication (Government of India) will develop an Emergency Communications Plan to support the functional concept with the assistance of Secondary Supporting Agencies. Deputy Commissioners, Sub- Divisional officers and all Supporting Agencies will adapt their existing emergency plans in order that essential functions relating to Communications can be implemented in the event of telecommunication disruption. The Exigencies: It is possible that telephone service will be disrupted in a major earthquake for a period of time. Not all components of the telephone system will be equally affected, but initially the failure of land based components will cause a general failure of the total system’s reliability. As the telephone system is gradually brought back into service in accordance with the priorities given to it, it may allow limited use by the competent authorities within a matter of hours after the earthquake. As this is not a dependable or even predictable situation, this plan must require the capability to carry out emergency response independent of the commercial telephone system. While the use of existing radio systems is an obvious solution, the simultaneous breakdown in delivery of electric power distribution may limit those capabilities as well. Other simple means of communication would be hand written memo delivered by the best possible means. Scope: This function is limited to the emergency communications requirements only. As such, the restoration of public sector communication could be carried out as a part of the Department of Telecommunication’s emergency functions during disaster. THE TASKS: Immediate Tasks:

• Arrangements of essential equipments as replacements • Collection of initial reports of damage. • Status of the affected regions in respect of establishing communication with rest of

the state/Country. • Status of the key officials in the area. • The main focus of the activities is to coordinate life saving activities concurrent with

re- establishing control of the disaster affected area. • Establish radio communication with the State Emergency Operation Centre, District

Emergency Centre as well as Relief Centres. • Appoint a Nodal Officer, Communications. • Renew and update precautionary measures and review with the staff the precaution

to be taken to protect the equipment. Initial Action: • Identify operational telecommunication facilities within the affected area • Identify telecommunication facilities that need to be transported to the affected site to

establish the emergency operational services.




• Identify the actual and planned action of private telecommunication companies towards reconstruction of their facilities.

• Establish temporary communication facility through mobile exchange on priority for use by district officials, Officers in the transit relief camp, NGOs.

• Establish a temporary communication for use by the public • Carry out an assessment of overall damarage for the following:

i) Overhead route damage ii) Cable damage iii) Specific equipment damage

Task during sustained phase: establish emergency communication in order of priority to the functions and locations most in need of them for the mitigation of life-threatening situation and the relief of human suffering. Provide a communications advisory function and internal communications organisation. Monitor and control where possible, the re-establishment of telephone services. ESF – 3: EVACUATION (SEARCH AND RESCUE) Local Plan: The OC, Civil Defence will adapt District Plan, in accordance with the local hazard and risk, and make necessary arrangements to start Search and Rescue operations in the disaster affected areas. The conceptual approach to the function described in this plan is recommended for adoption in implementing Search and Rescue capabilities in the respective areas. The Exigencies: In case of an earthquake rescue operations sometimes get obstructed and delayed for limited access or incapability of the fire-fighters. In some rescue situations heavy objects must be removed or cut to extricate trapped persons and perhaps tunneling techniques need to be applied.; Otherwise the situations further turn complicated if an unskilled/unplanned rescue attempt is made. Often there are circumstances where other specialized skills should be applied. While an adhoc rescue might be put together for many such disaster scenarios (especially in earthquakes), the lack of a coordinated specialized search and rescue capability may turn out to be a contributor to the loss of life in major disasters. A level of permanent organizational integrity should exist to allow training and exercising of the techniques and skills required, and to permit the functionaries in other branches to orient their skills in concert with those of the search and rescue function in major disaster areas. The possible total preoccupation of fire-fighters with fire suppression at the critical time for rescue also suggests that a capability to coordinate the total organized rescue effort would be desirable, utilizing other manpower sources that process basic rescue skills similar to those of the fire-fighters. Organizational requirement: This plan conceptualizes a search and rescue team, which would meet the needs outlined above. The Tasks Immediate Tasks: The objectives of the team would be to:

• Locate and remove individuals drowning or floating in the river or trapped in the bushes or injured people who are trapped in the wreckage damaged buildings and other structures;

• To ascertain the safety of damaged buildings and structures




• To provide on-site medical treatment, and to remove the dead Team organization (Conceptual): the search and rescue team should be organized in such a way that at least one trained personnel remains in command of the team followed by his/her assistants. Apart from this, there should be a Block level coordinating team with experts/specialist like one medical professional, one engineer, one logistic person, search dogs and laborers etc. Effort should be made to include female officer/volunteers in the Rescue Team Rescue group: this component includes one or more sections, each one of which could be assigned responsibility for search and rescue tasks for a particular site. Skills include basic rescue techniques with accepted local rescue equipment, tunneling, cutting, shoring, hoisting with mechanical equipment, searching in confined areas, operation in hazardous environments and providing paramedic treatment to patients in emergency situations. Each section should comprise about five to seven persons with basic specialized rescue equipment. Heavy equipment group: this component holds heavy equipment and heavy equipment operators, or maintains an inventory of where they can be obtained, and trains equipment operators in the application of their skills to heavy rescue situations. Personnel of this group would be assigned to a heavy rescue group for carrying out critical operations and then shall be re-allocated. For those purpose personnel from army, railways, oil India and refineries army be included in this group as they have good numbers of equipments and equipment operators. Auxiliary Rescue Group: this component includes numbers of volunteers, search and rescue personnel whose skills can be used in less demanding tasks than those of the heavy rescue group. The exact size, composition and duties of the team are subject to further developments depending on the acquisition of skill and modern methodologies. ESF - 4: EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONSE The exigencies: A severe earthquake is characterized by its effects on the health care delivery system perhaps more than any other way. Not only are there likely to be many injured the rubble may require urgent hospital care. At the same time, the facilities required by the health care system are subject to damage, which can incapacitate the system and require the evacuation of their existing patients. Disrupted roads interfere with ambulance movement, requiring some dependence upon on-scene paramedical treatment and first aid until removal to places where medical facilities are possible. The decentralized local operation of health services may not suffice in the event of a major disaster. Functions: The Function includes:

• All state and district level health services responsibilities shall be mobilized to provide emergency medical treatment to the injured, sustained hospital care to the seriously injured or seriously ill.

• Continue care at an appropriate level to patients in hospital and out – patients at the time of the earthquake response,




• Evacuation of the sick and injured to a location where care can be provided, as well as sustained emergency care until evacuation can be carried out with medical or paramedical supervision .

• State level coordination of delivery of medical supplies, blood and blood products, operation of ambulance services.

• Prevention of epidemic through education of the general population. • Initiation of vaccination programs under epidemic conditions. Radiological and

toxicological services could be in increased demand and require an expanded response.

• There will also be a need to provide initial establishing of death, and the temporary safe storage of human remains in support of coroner operations. A major earthquake would require a much greater degree of control of resources within the Operational Area and would necessitate the establishment of a health services coordination center at the District Headquarter The Health Department is to identify some safe locations to use as first aid centers and to shift the patients whenever needed. In each ward the general public should be trained up for first aid assistance and dispensary should maintain a rotating reserve stock of blood, saline, bandage, cotton, benzene, dettol and life saving drugs/ injections.

Immediate task: • Appoint one person as Nodal Health Officer for the district. • Ensure that the personnel working within the district come under the direct control of

the District Nodal Health Officer. • Any other personnel once deployed for the purpose will directly come under the

control of the District Nodal Health Officer. • Identify emergency patient holding facilities. • To prepare and keep ready Mobile Hospitals and stock them with emergency

equipment that may be required after the disaster. • Transfer patients who can be removed from hospitals to make room for the injured,

where necessary implement a system of staging causality collection, treatment, and evacuation to places where facilities are available (probably outside the Operational Area).

• Arrange delivery of emergency medical supplies, arrange for temporary suitable storage of the dead bodies until taken over by the coroner.

• Utmost priority to be given to Pregnant Mothers, New Born Babies, Critically ill and aged.

All effort should be made to keep the health care receiving centers and out-patient service centers free from panicky, prevent disease outbreak or spread, attend to mental health requirements, expand local public health services as necessary, particularly the supply of essential drugs and pharmaceuticals in areas where the private sector drug stores have ceased to function, carry out sanitary inspections.

ESF – 5: RELIEF (FOOD – SHELTER) The Exigencies: This emergency function involves emergency provisions of temporary shelter, emergency mass feeding and bulk distribution of coordinated relief supplies for victims of disaster. A disaster in the state will leave a large number of people in need of shelter and feeding, family members may be separated from one another and there will be an overwhelming demand for information about survivors’ where about and condition from both within and outside the state. Many people will require immediate emotional support and crisis counseling. Although




primary responsibility for provision of Emergency Social Services (ESS) rests with the District Administration and Municipalities, a severe earthquake or a devastating flood or a cyclone will cut across municipal and district boundaries and demand for ESS will exceed most district and municipal resources. Damage may be unevenly spread across the affected region, with some communities experiencing a high need for services and few operational resources and others having few evacuees and more resources then required for their residents. Tasks: Immediate task:

• Safe keeping of the stock at the distribution centres • Adequate cooking utensils, fuel, ingredients and volunteers • Finalize the ration size depending on the nutritional status • Identification of shelter • Check the infrastructure facility (toilet, water, electricity, communication, safety,

cleanliness, etc) • Identification of separate shelter – gender wise • Identification of shelter for ailing patients specially patients with infectious diseases • Shelter for livestock. • Trauma Management • Creating open space for children

Scope: Emergency Social Services includes feeding, clothing, shelter, reception registration and inquiry, and personal services provided to evacuees, victims, and response workers. The services are defined as follows. i. Personal Services – Counseling of victims and response workers welcoming the

evacuees at entrance to relief centers in order to screen for need and to give information, and supervision and support of groups of dependent individuals including children separated from their parents, frail elderly, and the handicapped

ii. Registration and Inquiry-Registering individuals and families involved in the disaster,

answering inquiries from relatives and friends concerning victims’ whereabouts, reuniting separate family members, and providing information to response workmen on the whereabouts and numbers of evacuees.

iii. Clothing- Emergency clothing, blankets, toiletry articles, baby supplies and other related goods necessary to protect health and safety.

iv. Shelter-Temporary housing or sleeping space for individuals and families forced to leave their dwellings.

v. Feeding-Provision of meals, hot beverages and snacks to protect health, to maintain strength of response personnel, and to reassure victims.

THE TASKS: Immediate Task:

• Help the responsible officers in opening staff reception centers in all affected areas and alert the response workers and the public about the location of these centers.

• Mobilize feeding units to provide support to response workers on location. • Coordinate supporting debriefing, counseling, and related services for responders and

victims. • Inventory of the available habitable shelter supply.




• Begin registering all persons involved in the earthquake.

Tasks during Sustained Phase: Continue basic emergency social services to all evacuees, victims and others requiring help, continue the registering process and respond to enquiries from around the world, initiate public information services on emotional responses to disaster, transform reception centers into multi – service centers, lay basis for outreach, self – help, and educational programs.

ESF – 6 LOGISTRICS (TRAFFIC – ELECTRICITY – WATER)

Primary Functions:

• Establish mobilization center at different points like railway station, airport bus station for movement of relief supplies.

• Inform immediately to all materials suppliers to keep the required supply ready, if disaster strikes.

• Arrange for transportation of the relief supplies • Provide assistance to in establishing local offices, relief camps, etc. by providing

beddings, furniture & fixtures, electricity, water, toilets, food etc. • Ensure smooth transportation links at all levels and to all nodal and support agencies. • Asses damage to power supply infrastructure for assistance from other states. • Restoration of power supply or temporary power supply top critical areas. • Restore major electricity failure anticipated during disasters due to falling of

cables/poles. • Facilitate restoration of electricity distribution systems at most affected sites on priority

to help in Search and Rescue operations. • Provide electricity in lifeline buildings • Procurement of clean drinking water. • Transportation of water with minimum wastage. • Ensure quick restoration of drainage system. • Sewer pipes to be kept separate from drinking water facilities.

ESF - 7 TRANSPORTATION:

The Department of Transport will incorporate the requirements of this function in Department’s Transportation plan, with the assistance of secondary supporting Agencies. Transportation will be a staff function of the Transport branch. The Exigencies: A severe earthquake or a devastating flood or cyclone could severely disrupt transportation means within the district from the outset. Damage to roads and bridges, airfield runways and facilities, railways, and river ports can be expected. Arteries, even though essentially undamaged, may be unusable temporarily as a result of natural secondary effects The earthquake damage will interfere with the delivery of workers and functionaries of different branches and also supplies into the disaster area, as well as the evacuation of the injured and homeless from the area. The carrying out of the emergency functions related to transportation is complicated. As such it is necessary to develop the concept of response by an ad-hoc committee of agencies. Government roles in transportation tend to be primarily those of regulation, whereas most transportation resources are in the private sector.




Scope: The Transportation emergency response function includes: • The restoration and emergency maintenance of surface, air, and water infrastructure

necessary to an effective response; • Coordination of the provision of transportation resources to permit the effective

delivery of people, equipment, and supplies; • Initially, an unprepared combination of transportation modes will probably be required

to access the disaster area to compensate for disrupted routes. In case of any major earthquake if the area is marooned the IAF helicopters will have to be used in large numbers at the initial stags. The disruption of transportation services is one of the major determinants in the demarcation of the disaster Operational Area. This function therefore plays a major role in support of the damage Assessment emergency response function. A moderate earthquake would primarily involve assessment of damage to, and prompt repair of, the existing transportation systems by their usual operator. The coordination role would likely be very limited insofar as the arrangement of transportation resources is concerned.

THE TASKS: Immediate Task:

• Determine resources available and allocate to life-saving efforts; • Assess damage to transportation arteries and facilities; • Identify usable access routes to areas requiring movement of resources’ in

conjunction with the Law and Order emergency response function; • Establish traffic control to permit an orderly flow of the response effort; • Close dangerous transportation routes and facilities to public access ; inspect all the

bridges engineer including an underwater survey of foundations piers ; • Advice the public of emergency transportation measures measures through the public

information emergency response function.

Task during sustained place: • Arrange to repair damaged road arteries to provide additional access routes in the

Operation Area until normal traffic pattern can be resumed. • Co ordinate the repair of rail , marine and facilities necessary to the response effort ; • Coordinate resource delivery requirements ; • Provide staff to the district Coordinate committee (transport cell) to fulfill transportation

coordination duties ; • Administer service contracts with private transportation coordination duties ; • Administer service contract with private transportation companies.

ESF – 8: DAMAGE ASSESSMENT TEAM Departmental Plan: The Departments involved in this team will develop the Damage Assessment functional concept. The District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) will include Damage Assessment as a staff function of the Damage Assessment Branch, capable of coordinating the collecting of collated damage information from SDOs, Block Officers and other agencies for the purpose of assessing overall damage on behalf of the state Government and assess the need.




The Sub–Divisional Officers will plan for the gathering of post disaster damage information from within their jurisdiction with their own resources and with preplanned assistance provided directly to them by private sector Agencies. The Exigencies: The Damage Assessment function is the determining element in deciding District level response to any disaster, and an early and accurate picture must be assembled to assist the government to be effective in its response, All emergency agencies, functionaries and a network of other information gatherers must automatically pass information concerning damage encountered through a collation system which can provide an assessment appropriate for successively higher levels of government as the need arises. From the obviously damaged areas, information must be sought out at greater and greater distances until damage is known by positive information. Scope: Damage Assessment to be first conducted at the block level, for their evaluation and response, on the basis of which general request for assistance from the State Government is made. As local Assessment becomes more precise, they form the basis for specific requests for government resources, both immediate and for the near future. The initial determination of damage process will be carried out irrespective of the suspected magnitude of the disaster. On assessment that a major disaster has occurred, a methodological search for gross damage will be undertaken at all levels, collated and filtered at each successive level, until a clear picture of the damage has been formed. As this assessment is closely related to the dispatching of immediate resource assistance to areas where lives are at risk, it must be accomplished promptly. Accordingly, once a major disaster is known to have occurred, a Damage Assessment cell needs to be mobilized, which can start collecting information on the various damages following the guidelines for conducting damage assessments. THE TASKS: Immediate Task: Assess areas likely to require life saving response action. Help of nearest army units may also be obtained as and when required. Tasks during sustained phase: Assess total damage as the basis of response efforts, future recovery activities, and claims. Coordinate the gathering of information from all sources. ESF – 9 DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS The Exigencies: Materials and Fund Management is necessary to control the flow of goods and services into a disaster area. The provision of materials and supplies in a coordinated way, particularly from outside the Operational Area, will contribute to a more effective response. The coordination required will be provided by the Action Group coordination structure as a staff function. Scope: Those emergency response functions which require specialized supplies (eg medical, construction) beyond the capabilities of district authority will request them directly from their counterpart or the Government or the private sector or voluntary organizations who may either donate the same or purchase it on request. This function will facilitate that process where necessary, coordinate requests for like items, assure priorities are established for critical items, provide the coordination link with the delivery means required through the




transportation emergency function, and arrange for stockpiling and holding of supplies received under District control and donations. THE TASKS: Immediate Task:

• To identify the donation sectors (like general public, public and private sector organizations, clubs, etc. international community)

• Type of donations (like food, water, cloths, medicines, tools, generators, etc.) • To arrange to handover the same to the appropriate authority.

HUMAN RESOURCES The Exigencies: In company with material resources, earthquake response will probably require an influx of additional human resources to augment the framework of professional responders held within the agencies, which bear the organizational responsibility for their functions. These needed extra personnel will come from a variety of sources, and the desirability of each source will be dependent upon the function being performed.

• From different agencies with entrusted functions, or from departments or branches with limited or no usual emergency response role.

• From auxiliary or volunteer components of the agencies, whose role is directly related to emergency response but on a part time basis,

• From organized volunteer societies which may specialize in emergency response or disaster relief.

• Individual unprepared volunteers, either with or without emergency response skills.

As a general rule, the preferential sequence of obtaining additional resources will be in the order listed above, so that the administrative burden on the overall response effort is minimized.

Scope: This function is concerned with the coordinated and centralized methods of obtaining additional human resources for unforeseen requirements, and otherwise controlling employment of those personnel in a manner that does not unduly comprise the response effort itself by requiring large numbers of staff to implement.

Human resources in this category comprise : • Volunteers which respond to a general appeal, or which simply are expressly sought by

the response structure, and which may have to be brought in from outside the operational area.

THE TASKS: Immediate Task: With emphasis on life saving operations:

• Determine requirements of lead agencies and seek out suitably qualified personnel; • Pre-arranged public announcements for general broadcast (if possible) should be

used. • Establish method of reception and delivery of personnel to the requesting agency, or

arrange direct reporting to collecting points or response sites, where feasible. Tasks during sustained phase: continuous human resource support to all response functions, through direct recruiting and central support, to obtain out-of-area skilled personnel.




ESF – 10 PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING: The Exigencies: The damage to structures will require additional resources to be directed to the operational area. While most engineering and construction work which need to be done will have a responsible government agency, which can arrange its own requirements, the need for greater response covered by this plan is the prioritization of effort to the areas that need it most. The function comprises the gathering of requests for government assistance, collation and prioritization and assignment of resources to tasks. In addition to heavy equipments requirements, which may be the most obvious ones, qualified personnel to inspect damage and to supervise engineering works will also be needed. Construction and demolition materials will also be coordinated by this emergency response function. This function should not be mistakenly considered as meeting the requirements of recovery phase construction and engineering tasks. The Tasks Immediate Tasks:

• All technical officers shall be notified for immediate response function; • Make provisions for resources to meet life saving operational requirements; • Inspects all roads, bridges including underwater inspection of foundation and pillars; • Inspect all building and structures of the government by a competent officer and

identify structures which are endangered by the impending disaster; • Helping the BDOs in identifying locations for setting up transit and relief camps,

feeding centres and quality of construction materials.; • Keep ready with earth moving equipment, cranes, farm tractor with chain, cables and

buffer stock of fuel; • Adequate road signs should be installed by the guide assist the relief work; • Establish priority list of roads which will be opened first which should include road to

hospital; • Construct temporary roads to serve as access to temporary transit to relief camps and

medical facilities to disaster victims; • Technical damage assessment of potentially life threatening situations; • Demolition, shoring, route clearance of debris, etc.

Tasks during sustained phase:

• Continuing on to generate clear up and debris removal; • Emergency repairs to prevent further damage and assistance to other contingency

response functions requiring construction and engineering support. These functions will probably continue beyond the response stage into recovery operations and will be involved in detailed recovery planning during the response. ESF – 11 PUBLIC INFORMATION AND HELP LINES: The Exigencies: All levels of the government and the news media have a responsibility to provide emergency information to the public that is accurate, timely and consistent. Just when public and media demands for information are at their highest following a disaster, the probability is that most media in the area will not be operational due to power failures. Nevertheless, media will be present to gather information for later local dissemination, and for media outside the disaster area.




Scope: this emergency function in this respect is primarily concerned with creating an effective means of informing the public in the disaster operational area concerning efforts and actions expected of them to reduce risks to life and safety. Secondarily, the presentation of a sole point of release for Government information to the media in general is required to avoid confusion on the part of the public. In a major disaster, a Public Information centre will be established as an integral part of the District Coordination Committee (Public Information Cell) and perform public information and media relations activities and assist in arrangement of tours of the operational area by the government officials and media persons. The Tasks Immediate Tasks:

• Assist in the determination of damage to media public information capabilities • Pass prepared and updated public information announcements to the operational

media from the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC). • Extensive campaign to eradicate panic and rumor.

Tasks during sustained phase: Establish the requisite level of emergency public information capabilities; establish the necessary media relations capabilities for release of government information to the general public through the national/international media; control media personnel access through a system of accreditation and access control, in conjunction with the law and order function; as capabilities are available, assist media personnel to prepare and send their material from the operational area; arrange for official government and media tours of the operational area subject to availability of resources; assist sub-divisional/district authorities with their own requirements when requested. ESF – 12 LAW AND ORDER: The exigencies: The law and order function encompasses a broad range of routine policing activities. Some of these activities are made more difficult by earthquake damage and the general disaster scenario can cause a great increased workload for police forces. The response function has its primary goal of maintaining the law and order activities since the community can not withstand the shock and reacts violently, Scope: The law and order function in disaster hit area is particularly concentrated for saving of lives, the protection of property, traffic control, prevention of criminal activity. In addition, support to the rescue operation, communications, damage assessment and other emergency response functions. Police forces have integral internal radio communications and can be relied upon as an immediate available backup communication system, locally within police departments, and also a dependable link between block, sub-division and district. The disruption of transportation routes will some times restrict movements of the police force in performing many required tasks, and is critical problem to be dealt with by the police forces themselves on behalf of the total response effort. The Tasks: Immediate Tasks:

• Carry out any necessary action to save lives and prevent injury or damage to property;




• Carry out route damage assessment to permit identification of usable emergency routes;

• Assess and report other damage within capabilities; • Maintain a control over traffic with priority to emergency services; • Assist with the movement of emergency traffic; • Assist to investigate the cause of death, security of body staging areas, identification

of bodies; • Assist in the dissemination of emergency notifications; • Assist in the manning of coordination centres and the provision of immediate radio

communication to them, if necessary. Sustained Phase: Maintain emergency functions and restore normalcy as quickly as possible; provide personnel to protect abandoned and damaged properties and areas, which may attract the curious and tempt the criminal elements. ESF – 13 CATTLE RESOURCE RECOVERY AND CARE: The exigencies: The cattle resource, as one of the important sustainable economic resources are highly affected or perished during any severe damage, though the same evolves as the vital input to revive the economy especially in the rural areas after any severe disaster. Primary Functions: • Ensure proper vaccination • Keeping in view of cattle as sustainable economic resource of rural people, ensure

immediate animal feeding camp with shelter at a distance of 500 mtrs away from human relief camp.

• If possible the human relief camp should be at higher contour height than the animal feeding camp.

• Ensure proper carcass disposal. • Mobile veterinary medical team in the affected area. • Ensure cattle transit camp at a distance of 500 mtrs away from transit camp of affected

people. Agriculture The emergency function recognizes that a sustained disaster situation would have an adverse affect on the broad area of food. Primary food production, food processing, food delivery and food marketing could be significantly affected. Failure of transportation systems to deliver farm inputs or livestock feeds would generate immediate concern and hardship. Crop loss due to an inability to harvest, process, store and deliver would create food supply problems. Another problem would be the need to care and dispose of injured, dead and abandoned farm animals and household pets. Scope: the scope of this function is to assist with mitigating the effects of a disaster on the agri-food sector, including food production, and processing and distribution. Specifically the function will assist to:

• Ensure the continuity of safe, wholesome food stuffs, including drinking water to the people affected where installation of tube wells, etc. is not immediately possible. For supplying water, the PHE shall also render assistance;




• Identify secure and arrange delivery of feed supplies for livestock, poultry and farm fish and other emergency input requirements;

• Coordinate evacuation and transfer of livestock, poultry etc for relocation or disposal; • Restore the agri-food sector affected by the disaster and assess general damages to

the agriculture and fisheries sectors. The Tasks:

• Establish a communication system to monitor the situation and assess damages to the agriculture and fisheries sectors; assess the requirements including human resources;

• Maintain a database of food stocks and distribution systems and other vital requirements such as fertilizers, pest controls etc.

• Ensure the cooperation of other blocks, sub-division, district and private industry, including processors, distributors and retailers;

• Allocate food stockpiles and coordinate the distribution of food to relocation centres for the affected population;

• Allocate feed stuffs for livestock, poultry and farm fish and distribute as may be necessary;

• Treat the injured livestock and poultry to the extent possible and dispose of the carcasses (including household pets);

• Develop a public information plan for food and extension support services for the agri-food sector; and

• Ensure a water supply necessary for continuing the functions of this branch and also for the drinking water for the affected population. Quality assurance and inspection are the responsibility of the Action Group pertaining to Health, Environmental Health Protection.

Hazard Specific Instructions

Important Guidelines in case of Emergency

Always, If time permits take care of the following:

• Listen to a battery-powered radio and follow local evacuation instructions. • Secure your home: Unplug electrical equipment, such as radios televisions and small

appliances such as toasters heaters, etc. • Leave freezers and refrigerators plugged in unless there is a risk of flooding. • Follow recommended evacuation routes. Do not take shortcuts; they may be blocked. • Be alert for washed-out roads and bridges. • Do not drive into flooded areas. • Stay away from downed power lines.

a) Operational Guidelines of what to do in the even t of a Flood.

Do’s Don’ts

Points To Remember: do the following and be prepare d if you are in a flood prone area

- Avoid building in a floodplain unless you elevate and reinforce your home.

- Elevate the pumps and electric panel if susceptible to flooding.

- Install ‘check valves’ in sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up into the drains of your home.

After a Flood, DO NOT do these

- Do not enter deep, unknown waters.

- Do not go near the riverbank even after the floodwater has receded.

- Do not try to leave the safe




- Construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering the building.

- Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.

if a flood is likely in the area

- Listen to the radio or TV for information. - Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any

possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move.

- Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons, and other areas known to flood suddenly. Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain.

If you must prepare to evacuate, you should do the following :

• Secure your home. If you have time, bring in outdoor furniture. Move essential items to an upper floor.

• Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment. If you are wet or standing in water.

If you have to leave your home, remember these evacuation tips:

• Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving.

• Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.

• Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be quickly swept away.

After a Flood, Do these

- There is a possibility of spread of water borne diseases after flood, hence medical treatment should be taken immediately.

- Sprinkle medicines in the stagnant dirty water. - Inspect your house for any cracks or other damage.

Check all the walls, floor, ceiling, doors and windows, so that any chance of house falling down can be known and you can be aware about the immediate danger.

- Keep listening to weather forecast on radio and television. Move to your residence only when instructed

shelter to go back home until the local officials declare normalcy after flood and instruction to return home are not given.

- Do not use polluted water. - Do not follow any shortcut

for rescue work. - If you find any breakage in

the drainage system stop using latrines and do not use tap water.

- If the floodwater has entered the house or has surrounded the house, then it is advisable not to enter such house.




by the competent authority. It is not safe to believe that the problems have ended after the flood water have receded.

- Inform the competent authority/officer for restoration of the necessary connections like gas, electricity, telephone, drainage, etc.

- Beware of the various insects or poisonous snakes that may have been dragged inside the house along with the floodwater.

- Destroy the food commodities that have been affected by floodwater.

- Check properly all the electric circuits, floor level furnace, boilers, gas cylinders, or electric equipments like motor pump etc. Check whether any inflammable or explosive item has not entered along with the floodwater.

- Switch off the main electric supply, if any damage is noticed to the electric equipments.

- Sewerage system should be checked and any damage should be repaired immediately so as to curtail spread of diseases.

- Empty the water clogged in the basement slowly with help of water pump so that damage to infrastructure can be minimized

- Check gas leakage which can be known by smell of gas or by hearing the sound of leakage; immediately open all windows and leave the house.

- Boil drinking water before use and drink chlorinated water.

- Eat safe food. - Rescue work should be undertaken immediately after

flood situation as per the instructions.

b) Operational Guidelines of what to do in the even t of a Cyclone. Do’s Don’ts

Do’s if you are in a cyclone prone area

- Make plans to secure your property. - Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your

roof to the frame structure. - Trees and shrubs should be well trimmed. - Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts. - Secure loose objects like boats, drums, etc.

In case of a cyclone

- Listen to the radio or TV for information. - Secure your home, close storm shutters, and secure

outdoor objects or bring them indoors. - Turn off utilities if instructed to do so. - Avoid using the phone, except for serious emergencies

- Keep curtains closed. Do not be fooled if there is a lull; it could be the eye of the storm. Winds will pick up again.




- Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes.

You should evacuate under the following conditions:

- If you are directed by local authorities to do so. - If you live in mobile home or temporary structure— such

shelters are hazardous during cyclones no matter how well fastened to the ground.

- If you live in high rise buildings—Winds are stronger at higher elevations.

- If you live on the coast, on a floodplain, near a river, or an inland waterway.

- If you feel you are in danger.

if you are unable to evacuate, go to a wind safe ro om .

If you do not have one, follow these guidelines:

- Stay indoors during the cyclone and away from windows and glass doors.

- Close all interior doors - secure and brace external doors.

- Take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level.

- Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object.

c) Operational Guidelines of what to do in the even t of an Earthquake

Do’s Don’ts

Points To Remember: prepare yourself

- Insure your house against damage. - Before you buy a flat, check legality of the construction –

ask for copy of the ‘Building Use permit’ or ‘occupation certificate’.

- Ensure all cabinets, wall hangings are anchored to the walls.

- Sensitize your neighbours about the earthquake risk they face and organize repair work if required.

- Get your building reviewed by a competent and registered structural engineer.

- Structural retrofitting should be done only under supervision of a structural engineer.

- Ensure all clearances before construction of new building.

- Check if the land is not prone to flooding. - Check the soil is not soft and is not liquefiable and build

- Do not panic - Do not stop on or under a

bridge or overpass or under trees, light posts, power lines, or signs.

- Do not be afraid of the aftershocks .

- Do not enter into the unsafe or risky houses or building




on solid natural ground. - Get your building plans approved from the relevant

authorities. - Ensure there is good connection between roof and walls,

foundation and walls, at wall corners. - Enforcement of building byelaws. - Strengthening of public buildings.

When You Know there is an Earthquake

do this!

- If already inside, then stay indoors! Get under a heavy desk or table and hang on to it.

- If fire breaks out, drop on the floor and crawl towards the nearest exit.

- If you are out doors during the earthquake, keep away from buildings, trees and electricity lines. Walk towards open places, in a calm and composed manner.

- If you are driving, quickly but carefully move your car as far out of traffic as possible and stop. Stay inside the car until shaking stops.

- If you are in a school, get under a desk or table and hold on to it.

- If you are near an exit, leave the building as soon as possible.

- If you are in high-rise building, staircase do drop cover and hold sit or lie besides under mentioned furniture.

After An Earthquake

- Listen to radio or TV and other media for Government Announcements.

- Check for injuries to yourself and those around you. Take first aid where you can.

- Extinguish fires, if any. - Examine walls, floors, doors, staircases and windows to

make sure that the building is not in danger of collapsing. - Inspect for Gas leaks — if you smell gas or hear blowing

or hissing noises, open a window and quickly leave the building. Don’t light your kitchen stove if you suspect a gas leak.

- Do not keep telephone lines busy unnecessarily. - Switch off electric lines.

d) Operational Guidelines of what to do in the even t of Heat Waves Do’s Don’ts

A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather,

which may be accompanied by high humidity. There is no

universal definition of a heat wave; the term is relative to the

Things you should

avoid




usual weather in the area. Temperatures that people from a

hotter climate consider normal can be termed a heat wave in a

cooler area if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that

area. The term is applied both to routine weather variations and

to extraordinary spells of heat which may occur only once a

century. Severe heat waves have caused catastrophic crop

failures, thousands of deaths from hyperthermia, and widespread

power outages due to increased use of air conditioning.

The definition recommended by the World Meteorological

Organization is when the daily maximum temperature of more

than five consecutive days exceeds the average maximum

temperature by 5 °C (9 °F).

A formal, peer-reviewed definition from the Glossary of Meteorology is:

A period of abnormally and uncomfortably hot and usually humid weather.

To be a heat wave such a period should last at least one day, but conventionally it lasts from several days to several weeks. In 1900, A. T. Burrows more rigidly defined a “hot wave” as a spell of three or more days on each of which the maximum shade temperature reaches or exceeds 90 °F (32 °C). More realistically, the comfort criteria for any one region are dependent upon the normal conditions of that region.

Who's Most Likely to Suffer?

According to the CDC, the elderly, children under 4, people who are overweight, those who become dehydrated, the mentally ill, people with medical conditions or those who are on certain medications seem to be the most susceptible targets of a heat wave.

The most common heat-related illness is heat exhaustion. This usually builds up over several days of activities in a hot environment without proper replacement of fluids. Wham, it can hit you. The symptoms are:

• Heavy sweating • Turning pale • Muscle cramps • Weakness • Dizziness • Nausea or vomiting

• Do not cool the

victim’s body too

rapidly

• Drink ice-cold drinks; they can cause stomach cramping.

• Do not submerge the

victim in ice water

• Do not give any

medication

• Donot allow the victim

to be re-exposed to

the heat during

recovery time

• Do not massage the

muscles

• Leave any living being in a closed car.

• Assume you are

immune to heat outside just because you work in a hot environment like a bakery or pizza parlour. The damage can accumulate through the day.

• Fanatically insist on your usual jogging or exercise routine, thinking the danger is not real.

• If a heat wave occurs during a drought, which dries out vegetation, it can contribute to wildfiresPsychological and sociological effects




• Fainting • Cool, clammy skin • Fast breathing • Headache

To help the person, provide cool fluids immediately — anything nonalcoholic, but preferably water. Have the person lie down inside or take a cool bath or shower and then rest. If the person's symptoms are severe or there are pre-existing medical problems, such as high blood pressure or heart disease, get medical attention right away.

Prevention:

Ø Avoid prolonged exposure to intense heat Ø Drink plenty of clean, cool water Ø Apply a Cool wet Towel to your skin frequently Ø Avoid exhausting activity if your body is not well conditioned. Ø Visit the doctor regularly to monitor and control any chronic diseases There is hot flushed skin with Ø Decreased amount or lack of sweat Ø Elevated body temperature Ø Deep, rapid breathing Ø Nausea and vomiting Ø Decreased urine output Ø Intense thirst Ø Confusion Ø Dizziness Ø Blurred Vision Ø Fits

The objective is to reduce the body temperature by doing the following

Ø Remove the victims clothing and expose the skin to air Ø Shift the victim to a cool shelter Ø Spray the body with cold water Ø Fan the body Ø Apply the ice bags to the arm pits

• Provide cold fluids, preferably water • Make the person lie down inside and rest • If symptoms are severe, get immediate medical attention • Drink a lot of fluids, even if you aren't thirsty. • Avoid caffeine, alcohol, or sugared sodas because they can

make fluid leave your body faster. • Stay indoors if at all possible. • Go to a mall, movie or friend's or relative's home if your air

conditioning goes out. See if there are heat-relief shelters nearby for the night.

• In addition to physical stress, excessive heat causes psychological stress, to a degree which affects employee performance, and is also associated with an increase in violent crime.

• Eat foods that are high in protein, which increase metabolic heat.

• Use salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician.




• Buy a fan to move air around, even if it's air-conditioned air. • Wear light-coloured, loose clothing. Don't over wrap babies; put

a shade over them instead. • If you go out, do it early or after dark. • Cut down on exercise. • Stay in the shade. • Move slowly. • Wear a wide-brimmed hat. • Give pets plenty of water or bring them inside. • Tune into weather broadcasts for the latest heat advisory or

alert - and heed it! • Let outside workers take more frequent breaks. • Wet a paper towel or hankie and drape it on your face when you

come inside. Other "hot spots" to place a cool compress for quick cooling include the back of your neck, underarms, and groin area.




e) Operational Guidelines of what to do in the even t of Drought Do’s

Factors affecting vulnerability

Factors influencing the impact of drought are:

• Demographic pressure on the environment; • Food insecurity; • Economic systems strictly dependent on agriculture; • Poor infrastructure e.g. irrigation and water supply and

sanitation systems; • Poor health status of the population before the disaster; • Time of the year, with the most critical period being before

the harvest; • Absence of warning systems; • Population displacement; • Other concurrent situations: economic crisis, political

instability, armed conflict.

Main causes of mortality and morbidity

Reduced food intake and lack of varied diet leading to:

• Protein-energy malnutrition; • Micronutrient deficiency: Vitamin A deficiency increases

the risk of death from measles; severe iron-deficiency anaemia increases the risk of child and maternal mortality. Outbreaks of scurvy due to vitamin C deficiency, of beriberi due to thiamine deficiency, or of pellagra due to niacin deficiency can also occur.

Communicable diseases. Lack of water supply and sanitation services, malnutrition, displacement and higher vulnerability of the population all increase the risk of infectious diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections and measles.

Migration, loss of buying power and erosion of coping and caring capacities limit people's access to health services and can contribute to an overall increase in morbidity and mortality.

Foreseeable needs

Pending assessment, anticipated needs would be: Food aid, water supplies, water quality control, excreta disposal facilities, surveillance and control of communicable diseases, assessment and surveillance of nutritional status of the affected population (nutritional surveys), limitation and/or management of population

Don’ts

Inappropriate response

Do not send household foods or food items unless explicitly requested. Donate money to purchase large amount of food locally.

Do not send "baby foods". Encourage breast feeding. Consult WHO's recommendations for " Ensuring optimal feeding of infants and young children during emergencies".

Do not send household medicines or prescriptions. These items can be medically and legally inappropriate. Consult WHO's guidelines on essential drugs and the local authority of the beneficiary country first.

Do not take unilateral decisions on resource allocation without evidence of needs.




displacement.

Food aid programmes

• General food distribution. Pending a detailed assessment of food aid requirements, the initial basic ration should provide at least 2100 Kcal per person per day. The food ration should be as simple as possible: a basic staple (e.g. rice, corn, wheat flour, Corn Soya Blend), a concentrated source of energy, (oil or another fat) and a concentrated source of protein (e.g. pulses). It should also be culturally acceptable.

• Supplementary feeding is intended to correct moderate malnutrition and prevent deterioration of nutritional status among those most at-risk, namely young children pregnant women and lactating women. It can be distributed through on-site feeding (or wet rations) or as take-home dry rations.

• Therapeutic (intensive) feeding is used as treatment for severely malnourished individuals e.g. children whose weight-for-height is below -3SD (standard deviation) or less than 70% of the median NCHS/WHO references values (termed "severely wasted") or who have symmetrical oedema involving at least the feet.

SUMMARY OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT ACT, 2005

The Government decided to enact a law on disaster management to provide for requisite institutional mechanism for drawing up and monitoring the implementation of the disaster management plans, ensuring measures by various wings of Government for prevention and mitigating effects of disasters and for undertaking a holistic, coordinated and prompt response to any disaster situation. The Disaster Management Act, 2005 was enacted and notified on December 26, 2005. The salient features of the Act include setting up of a National Disaster Management Authority under the Chairmanship of the Prime Minister; State Disaster Management Authorities in the States/Union Territories under the chairmanship of Chief Minister or Lt. Governor or Administrator, as the case may be; and the District Disaster Management Authority under the District Magistrate in each district. The National and State Authorities shall be responsible for laying down the policies, plans and guidelines for disaster management. The District Authority shall act as the district planning, coordination and implementing body for all disaster management related functions. These functions include mitigation and preparedness measures also, besides response, relief and rehabilitation. A key role has been assigned to the local authority for ensuring training of its officers and employees; maintenance of resources so that these are readily available for use in the event of a disaster and ensuring that all construction projects in their area of jurisdiction conform to the prescribed standards and specifications. The local authority shall also carry out relief, rehabilitation and re-construction activities in the affected areas.

The Act seeks to constitute Disaster Response Fund and Disaster Mitigation Fund at the National, State and District level. It mandates that there shall be no discrimination on the ground of sex, caste, community, descent or religion while providing compensation and relief to the victims. The powers to issue directions to the Government authorities, organization and statutory bodies to facilitate and assist in disaster management have been vested in the Central Government. The Act seeks to make provision for punishment for obstructing response, making false claims, misappropriation of money or materials and issue of false warning. However, it provides immunity to Government organizations and officers for action taken in good faith. With the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, the Government has now put in place requisite institutional mechanism for drawing up and monitoring the implementation of the disaster management plans at all levels, ensuring measures by various wings of Government at National, State and District level for prevention and mitigating effects of disasters and for undertaking a holistic, coordinated and prompt response to any disaster situation. The Act will facilitate effective steps for mitigation of disasters, prepare for and coordinate a more effective response to handle disaster situations. The Act seeks to put in place Government’s resolve to bring about change in orientation from relief-centric approach to a holistic multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach with involvement of Panchayati Raj Institutions and Municipalities.

Keeping in view the federal polity, the DM Act has been enacted under the Entry “Social Security and Social Insurance” in the Concurrent List of the Constitution of India since it will be advantageous to allow the State Governments to have their own legislation also.

Assessment as Communication

What is an Assessment?

An emergency needs and resources assessment is:

• An information gathering exercise that provides a basis for planning and implementing the emergency operation.

Key Learning Points

• Assessment is a communication channel between affected populations and aid agencies.

• Communication can be improved by the use of tools for information gathering and analysis.

• Half the whole is better than the whole of half.• Key questions are is it emergency, emergency type, who needs help, their

situation, resources held, and res• Disasters are not necessarily emergencies.• Must follow up with monitoring.

The objective of an assessment

• ‘need to know’ (what is not known that needs to be known), • ‘need to clarify’ (what is uncertain where certainty is needed), and • ‘need to convince’ (what is not agreed upon, where agreement is necessary)

What do we need to know?

– Area affected, (preferably supported with maps and photographs) – Status of life-line services (clean-water, waste disposal, medical treatment

etc.) – The level of continuing threat

• The condition of the affected people: physical condition, shelter, clothing in relation to climate/ weather, spirit etc

• The status of property, buildings, livestock, crops, livelihood, infrastructure etc

• How did people live during normal times (baseline data) and what is changed?

• How are people coping, at community, household and individual levels?

• Who are the most vulnerable, i.e. who amongst the affected would require assistance? (Socio-economic classes – the poorest, low caste, ethnic minorities?, age, gender sub groups, HIV etc)

• What are the needs of the people (current and emerging/evolving)? What are the priorities of the needs of the people? What are the resource implications?.....capacity, market, food habits, culture, communication….

• What internal resources are available to meet these needs (national, local, household, individual, agencies in place, other agencies in the scene) and how adequate are they?

• Type and level of external assistance required and committed by the different players

• Can assistance be provided in time? That is, are there barriers to physical access (infrastructure, security, travel & import requirements by the host government etc)…

Communication tools

Assessment tools include tools both for improving community to team information flow and the team to agency flow:

• Standard Report Formats • Checklists. • Gap ID sheets. • Questionnaires • Many PRA tools

Types of emergency assessments :

Rapid Emergency Assessment : conducted by members during the first days following the emergency (ideally during days 1-3). This assessment should provide the basis for delivering immediate emergency assistance. Assessment and emergency assistance planning must be based on sex- and age disaggregated data from the start. Results of the Rapid Emergency Assessment should determine what the main needs are, what the planned intervention will be, whether the members have sufficient capacity to conduct the emergency response, or whether external financial resources will be required. Assessment is a process, not a single event. Initial and Rapid assessments provide the basis for subsequent in-depth assessments that deepen (but do not repeat) earlier assessment findings1.

Detailed Emergency Assessment: Over the next 1-3 weeks, the Rapid Emergency Assessment should be followed by a Detailed Emergency Assessment, which will gather more specific and complete information on the emergency and the proposed emergency response (in some cases leading to the Appeal proposal). A detailed assessment could take up to several weeks, but could be faster depending on the scale of the emergency, the area affected, the complexity of the issues and the amount of resources available. Both assessments should be seen as first steps in a continuous process of reviewing and updating as part of overall monitoring.2

There are two components to each of these assessment types; situation analysis and administrative capacity.

Checklists

Checklists are a useful way to ensure that we don’t overlook anything important. This is especially relevant when we may be under stress as in an emergency assessment. Checklists are effective tools and reference documents to ensure that the key areas of

1 Sphere Handbook, 2011, page 63

2 Sphere Handbook, 2004, page 31.




emergency analysis have been examined by members in the emergency-affected area, as a primary basis for planning an emergency response.

In view of the great differences between emergencies, these checklists should be adapted to the specific context in which members are operating (particularly the detailed emergency assessment checklist, and especially the sectoral assessment chapters). They should be considered as a “memory aid”, to ensure that key issues are adequately and effectively covered. It should always be done in coordination with other relevant actors in the field (government, UN, INGOs and local partners). When carrying out the assessment, it is important to look both at the emergency situation and the administrative capacity to respond.

Assessment checklists: Checklists have been developed for a Rapid Emergency Assessment and a Detailed Emergency Assessment. While the checklists are taken mainly from the Sphere Handbook, they also benefit from other important reference documents.

Types of information/data collection : With participatory assessment as the main element, members must decide what kind of information and data collection will be carried out, from among a number of possibilities which include: focus group discussions; individual interviews; household interviews; meetings with local leaders or community representatives; sector interviews; random sampling, and surveys.3

Terms of Reference for an emergency assessment : ToR for every emergency assessment (rapid and detailed) should be drawn up.

3 The Guidelines for Emergency Assessment, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies,

contains an excellent chapter on various means of collecting information. The Good Enough Guide is another

important reference on how to involve people at every stage of an emergency, and on how to conduct

interviews and collect information.

Terms of Reference should include:

• Names/profiles of team members (including gender, age and expertise)

• Locations to be visited • Type assessment (rapid or detailed) • Type checklist to be used (especially for detailed assessments,

where the standard checklist should be modified/adapted to meet requirements of the specific emergency)

• Categories of informants (groups, individuals, leaders) • Questions to be asked (and which member covers which set of

questions) • Methods of collecting information and data • Timing of the assessment (how long will it take)




Emergency assessment reporting : Results of the rapid and detailed emergency assessments should be compiled on the respective Reporting Templates, found in the two assessment checklists.

Food (Sphere 2011, pp. 214-215 for food security assessment checklist)

Food security and livelihoods assessment checklists

Food security assessments often broadly categorise the affected population into livelihood groupings, according to their sources of, and strategies for obtaining, income or food. This may also include a breakdown of the population according to wealth groups or strata. It is important to compare the prevailing situation with the history of food security pre-disaster. So-called ‘average normal years’ may be considered as a baseline. The specific roles and vulnerabilities of women and men, and the implications for household food security should be considered.

The following checklist questions cover the broad areas that are usually considered in a food security assessment.

1. Food security of livelihood groups Are there groups in the population who share the same livelihood strategies? How can these be categorised according to their main sources of food or income?

Food security pre-disaster (baseline)

How did the different livelihood groups acquire food or income before the disaster? For an average year in the recent past, what were their sources of food and income?

How did these different sources of food and income vary between seasons in a normal year? (Constructing a seasonal calendar may be useful.)

Looking back over the past five or ten years, how has food security varied from year to year? (Constructing a timeline or history of good and bad years may be useful.)

What kind of assets, savings or other reserves are owned by the different livelihood groups (e.g. food stocks, cash savings, livestock holdings, investments, credit, unclaimed debt, etc.)?

Over a period of a week or a month, what do household expenditures include and what proportion is spent on each item?

Who is responsible for management of cash in the household and on what is cash spent?

How accessible is the nearest market for obtaining basic goods?(Consider distance, security, ease of mobility, availability of market information, transport, etc.)

What is the availability and price of essential goods, including food?

Prior to the disaster, what were the average terms of trade between essential sources of income and food, e.g. wages to food, livestock to food, etc.?




Food security during disaster

How has the disaster affected the different sources of food and income for each of the livelihood groups identified?

How has it affected the usual seasonal patterns of food security for the different groups?

How has it affected access to markets, market availability and prices of essential goods?

For different livelihood groups, what are the different coping strategies and what proportion of people are engaged in them?

How has this changed as compared with the pre-disaster situation?

Which group or population is most affected?

What are the short- and medium-term effects of coping strategies on people’s financial and other assets?

For all livelihood groups, and all vulnerable people, what are the effects of coping strategies on their health, general well-being and dignity? Are there risks associated with coping strategies?

Nutrition (Sphere, pp. 218-219 for nutrition assessment checklist)

Nutrition assessment checklist

Below are sample questions for assessments examining the underlying causes of undernutrition, the level of nutrition risk and possibilities for response. The questions are based on the conceptual framework of the causes of undernutrition. The information is likely to be available from a variety of sources and gathering it will require various assessment tools, including key informant interviews, observation and review of secondary data (see also Core Standard 1, Core Standard 3 and Core Standard 4).

Pre-emergency situation

What information already exists on the nature, scale and causes of undernutrition among the affected population (see Food security and nutrition assessment standard 2 on page 154)?

The current risk of undernutrition

1. The risk of undernutrition related to reduced food access –see Appendix 1: Food security and livelihoods assessment checklists.

2. The risk of undernutrition related to infant and young child feeding and care practices - Is there a change in work and social patterns (e.g. due to migration, displacement

or armed conflict) which means that roles and responsibilities in the household have changed?

- Is there a change in the normal composition of households? Are there large

numbers of separated children?




- Has the normal care environment been disrupted (e.g. through displacement),

affecting access to secondary caregivers, access to foods for children, access to water, etc.?

- Are any infants not breastfed? Are there infants who are artificially fed?

- Has there been any evidence or suspicion of a decline in infant feeding practices

in the emergency, especially any fall in breastfeeding initiation or exclusive breastfeeding rates, any increase in artificial feeding rate and/or any increase in proportion of infants not breastfed?

means to prepare them hygienically accessible?

- Is there any evidence or suspicion of general distribution of breastmilk substitutes such as infant formula, other milk products, bottles and teats, either donated or purchased?

- In pastoral communities, have the herds been away from young children for long?

Has access to milk changed from normal?

- Has HIV and AIDS affected caring practices at household level?

3. The risk of undernutrition related to poor public health (see Health chapter on page 287) - Are there any reports of disease outbreaks which may affect nutritional status,

such as measles or acute diarrhoeal disease? Is there risk that these outbreaks will occur? (See Essential health services - control of communicable diseases standard1, standard 2 and standard 3 on page 312-316, Sphere Hand Book 2011)
