The National Disaster Management Authority and Provincial Disaster Management Authorities Whose raisings were recently approved by the Govt. Immediately mobilized the relief effort in a coordinated and synchronized manner . NDMA provides a well coordinated, synergized and timely relief to affected areas with a view to bringing normalcy of life in the shortest possible time:- I ) Short Term Implication (a) (b) Rescue / Crisis management of affected population in distress. Provision of immediate relief in the form of food, water, shelters and health care. (c) (d) (e) Restoration of communication infrastructure and essential services. Distribution of compensation to affected households. Early recovery of affected areas. (2) Long Term Implication (a) Capcity building of PDMAs, Sindh, Baluchistan, Punjab and NWFP to handle relief , rehabilitation and reconstruction. (b) Rehabilitation and Reconstaruction by PDMAs through line ministries in coordination and under the direction of NDMA. 3.3.3 WAPDA WAPDA is actively involved in the Flood Forecasting process by providing the much needed river and rain data from its telemetric gauge sites within the upper catchments of Indus , Jhelum &Chenab rivers. During the previous flood forecasting project ( from 1977 to 1987), WAPDA was assigned the responsibility to establish and maintain a telemetric network of river and rain stations to support the flood forecasting models. A total of about 40 such stations were established . The number was gradually reduced to about 20 due to maintenance problems, c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\cd material nust\international training workshop\session 5\2_sop pmd_51 pages.doc
especially in respect of the river gauging equipment which developed frequent problem. It was decided to assign three categories to the telemetric stations in relation to their relative importance in flood forecasting. WAPDA maintained only fifteen catergory-1 stations during the last years. The system has now been replaced with a new set of equipment using the meteor burst based communication system. WAPDA‘s telemetric network is directly linked to FFD and is looked after by an officer of the level of research office whose office is located within the premises of FFD. Beside WAPDA‘s involvement is providing the hydrometric flood data, it is also involved in providing the data from such hydraulic structure as Mangla and Tarbela dams and the Chashma Barrage A great scope exists in future in assigning the flood mitigation role to Mangla and tarbela reservoirs by linking up the operation of the two reservoirs with flood forecasting system. Resorting to pre-flood releases on the basis of the flood forecasts can create necessary flood storage. 3.3.4 Provincial relief Organization Ultimate aim of flood warning is to reduce the potential loss to the life and property of the community living in the flood liable areas. Provincial relief organizations are charged with the responsibility pertaining to disaster preparedness, emergency response, and post disaster activities pertaining to all disasters including flood. Consequently, under the present set up the flood Warni8ng Center has been placed under the Relief commissioner in addition to his normal duties.
