Implications of Disasters A single disaster can wipe
out annual GDP of a country.
Losses from the current earthquake
80,000 dead 200,00 injured 4 million homeless Economic losses more than
USD 5 billion
Disaster Reduction is a MUST for Sustainable Development

Disaster mitigation Pre-earthquake scenario Realistic hazard assessment Reducing vulnerability through
Seismic resistant design of structures.
Implementation of code, inspection and monitoring mechanism.
Post-earthquake scenario Emergency preparedness and
planning

Realistic seismic hazard assessmentRealistic seismic hazard assessment is crucial because placing a low-seismicity region in a high hazard zone will require construction of costly structures thereby making them uneconomical. Similarly, placing a high-seismicity region in a low hazard zone will allow construction of relatively weaker structures thereby making them vulnerable to collapse during an earthquake.

Seismic Vulnerability
Low Seismic capacity of buildings due to low quality of material, improper design and construction; buildings constructed on loose soil, or constructed in areas prone to liquefaction and land slides etc. will make the
structures vulnerable to collapse during an earthquake.

Stone masonry buildings constitute around 40% of the total building stock. (20% of it in cities and 80% in villages). Approx 95 % of buildings either completely collapsed or got severely damaged.

Total stock of brick masonry building constitutes around 20%, (100 % in cities, negligible in villages), out of which less than 5% collapsed and around 15% got severely damaged. By and large the brick masonry has performed very well.

Improper lap length
Less than 5% of the total building stock consisted of RC frame structures with brick or block masonry infill walls., 100% in cities.Generally performed well, The collapse and damage were found to be the result of improper design, detailing and low quality material.

None-existence of seismic design guidelines and building codes. site specific ground characteristics for seismic
design. scientifically determined indigenous material
properties. trained professionals for carrying out
construction activities in seismic prone areas awareness of general public for realizing the
seismic risk. Implementing/regulating and inspection

Emergency preparedness and planning
In the post-earthquake scenario the quantum of disaster can increase enormously due to lack of effective emergency preparedness and planning strategies.

Measures to be taken to avoid disasters in
future ?

Short Term measures For the reconstruction of the affected areas, general seismic guidelines and building
recommendations can be adapted from already established international codes. This should act like an interim code and not as a permanent code for the country. To develop a proper seismic code for the country will take time.
The enactment of a law for strict enforcement of these recommendations is also required.
Training should be imparted to the contractors, masons, construction supervisors and local government hierarchy at the union council and tehsil level for effective reconstruction and rehabilitation activities.
The design and construction of educational institutions, hospitals and other important government buildings should be given special attention. The EEC should be involved in this process.

30
Short Term measures--- Construction of new buildings in the areas prone to landsliding and
liquefaction should be avoided.
Rapid assessment of damaged public and private buildings is crucial. There should be authorized qualified technical professionals to carry out these activities. (Fear among the people is so high that even some slightly damaged buildings have been declared as uninhabitable.)
Repair, strengthening and /or retrofitting of existing buildings deficient in seismic capacity is also vital.

Improving the seismic performance of masonry structure-general guidelines (ref Eurocode-8)
Note: such arrangement provide overall integrity and stability to the structure.

33
Long term measures Installation of strong motion net work
Development of seismic hazard maps based on PGA and PGV, liquefaction and landslide maps, micro zoning for highly seismic prone regions etc.
Development of seismic code for the country
Seismic risk assessment for various categories of buildings and engineering structures.
Structural assessment of important buildings such as dams, long span bridges, educational institutions, hospitals, secretariat etc and their strengthening, if required.

Long term measures (contd) Technology development for low cost base isolation and
damper systems for brittle structures. Development of repair and strengthening techniques for
seismically distressed local structural systems. Development of disaster mitigation methodologies. Seismic risk assessment for sustainability of life lines
including, highways, railways, Gas, Sewerage and Water pipe lines and electricity transmission lines etc.
