1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION 

As a part of the overall preparedness of the state, the Government of Maharashtra has a 

State Disaster Management Action Plan to support and strengthen the efforts of the district 

administration. In this context, every district has evolved it's own District Disaster 

Management Action Plan (DDMAP). It is expected that these multi-hazard response plans 

would increase the effectiveness of administrative intervention. 

Multi-disaster Response Plan: 

The DDMAP addresses the districts’ response to disaster situations such as earthquakes, 

floods, cyclones, epidemics, off-site industrial disasters and roads accidents and fires. Some 

of these disasters such as floods and earthquakes affect large areas causing extensive 

damage to life, property and environment while others such as epidemics only affect large 

populations. In any case, the management of these disasters requires extensive resources and 

manpower for containment by remedial action. 

The present plan is a multi-hazard response plan for the disasters and outlines the 

institutional framework required for managing such situations. However, the plan assumes a 

disaster specific form in terms of the actions to be taken by the various agencies involved in 

the disaster. The front-end or local level of any disaster response organisation will differ 

depending upon the type of disaster, but at the level of the back-end i.e., at the controlling 

level at the district it will almost remain same, for all types of disasters. 

Objectives: 

The objectives of the District Disaster Management Action Plan are: 

To improve preparedness at the district level, through risk and vulnerability analysis, 

to disasters and to minimise the impact of disasters in terms of human, physical and material 

loss. 

To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available with the various 

agencies involved in the management of disasters in the district and make it an exercise in 

capability building of district administration. This enables the district to face a disaster in a 

more effective way and builds confidence across different segments of society. It will be a 

positive factor for long term development of the district. 

To utilise different aspects of disaster mitigation for development planning as a tool 

for location and area specific planning for development in the district. 

To develop a framework for proper documentation of future disasters in the district, 

to have an update on critical information essential to a plan, to critically analyse and 

appraise responses and to recommend appropriate strategies. 

To evolve DDMAP as an effective managerial tool within the overall policy 

framework of Government of Maharashtra. 

Response to disasters, in the absence of a defined plan, would be arbitrary leading to 

overemphasis of some actions and absence of other actions which could be critical. The 

objectives of any disaster management plan should be to localise a disaster and to the 

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\C.Lotus.Notes.DataRevised Grain Bank

maximum extent possible contain it so as to minimise the impact on life, the environment 

and property. A formal plan for managing disasters is therefore necessary. This would 

include 

a. Pre-planning a proper sequence of response actions 

b. Allocation of responsibilities to the participating agencies, 

c. Developing codes and standard operating procedures for various departments and 

relief agencies involved. 

d. Inventory of existing facilities and resources 

e. Mechanisms for effective management of resources 

f. Co-ordination of all relief activities including those of NGOs to ensure a 

coordinated and effective response. 

g. Co-ordination with the State response machinery for appropriate support 

h. Monitoring and evaluation of actions taken during relief and rehabilitation. 

"Outline of Vulnerability Assessment" prepared by CSSD/EMC has been used as the basic 

instrument to collate district level information to meet the database requirements for the 

preparation of DDMAP. 

Policy Statement : 

The underlying policy of the DDMAP is to protect life, environment and property while 

ensuring mitigation of the disaster to the maximum extent possible, relief to those affected 

and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. 

Essentially, communities draw their support from the social institutions, administrative 

structure, and values and aspirations they cherish. Disasters may temporarily disorganise the 

social units and the administrative system and disrupt their lives built around these values 

and aspirations. A systematic effort to put back the social life on its normal course with 

necessary technology support and resources will contribute significantly to the resilience of 

the community and nation. 

This policy forms the basis of the DDMAP strategy. It aims at capacity building and prompt 

utilization of resources in a disaster situation through a partnership of the GOM,NGOs, 

Private Initiatives and the community. In pursuance with this policy, DDMAPaddresses 

itself to strengthening the pre-disaster and post-disaster responses of variousactors and 

stakeholders including the “victims” of the disaster.

2. OVERVIEW OF AHMEDNAGAR DISTRICT 


Ahmednagar city was established by Malik Ahmed Shah in 1494 , and it later on 

become capital of Nizamshahi Kingdom.The District came to be known as Ahmednagar, as 

the district headquarters was located at Ahmednagar. 

When the district was created in 1822 , it covered a much larger area including parts 

of the present Nasik and Solapur districts. The Ahmednagar district was a part of the Pune 

Division till 1981, after which it was made a part of the newly created Nasik Division. 

Located in the central part of the state of Maharashtra, Ahmednagar district lies 

between 18°02’ and 19°09’ North latitudes and 73°09’ and 75°05’ East longitudes. 

The district is bounded on the north by the districts of Nasik and Aurangabad, on the 

east by Beed & Osmanabad, on the south by Solapur and on the west by Thane and Pune 

Districts. 

Area and Administrative Divisions :- 

Ahmednagar district covers an area of about 17,0448 sq.km.Area wise largest district in 

the state covering 5.55 % area of the total area of Maharashtra state. 

Ahmednagar district is divided into fourteen administrative sub-units (tahsils), namely, 

Ahmednagar, Parner, Pathardi, Shevgaon, Karjat, Shrigonda, Jamkhed, Shrirampur, 

Newasa, Rahuri, Akola, Sangamner, Kopargaon,Rahta.The district is divided into 1586 

villages and 1310 gram panchayats located within the 14 tahsils. For administrative 

convenience, these fourteen tahsils are grouped into four sub-divisions as follows.

Salient Physical Features and Land Use Patterns : 

The district can be divided into two natural regions on the basis of the topography 

viz., the western region comprising of the hilly area and the eastern low lying region. The 

Sahyadri Mountain ranges pass through the Akola tahsil of Ahmednagar district. The highest 

peak “Kalsubai” (1654 m ) of the Sahyadri Ranges is located in this district. 

Bhima and Godavari are the major rivers. The Pravara, a tributary of the Godavari 

joins it near Toka in Newasa tahsil. The Mula, a tributary of the Pravara, flows through the 

northern part of the district. The Bhima, although forming the southern boundary of the 

district with Pune district, is joined by tributaries Sina, Kukadi and Ghod which flow 

through the Parner, Shrigonda and Karjat tahsils. 

The Harishchandra Gad hill range which is the watershed of the Mula and Pravara 

rivers, covers a large area in the western part of the district, while the Baleshwar range 

covers some part of Parner tahsil. 


Geology and Geomorphology : 

Geology : 

The entire Ahmednagar district is covered by basaltic lava flows of the Deccan Traps 

belonging to the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene age. The Deccan Trap basalts are overlain by 

alluvial deposits along the river Godavari and occupies the northern part of the district. The 

stratigraphical sequence of the different lithological units occurring in the district is give 

below. 

Formation Age Lithology 

Alluvium Recent Clay, Silt and sand 

Deccan Traps Upper Cretaceous to 

Eocene 

Vesicular and Amygdular zeolitic basalt and 

massive basalt interbedded with red bole. 

Deccan Traps : The horizontally disposed basaltic lava flows of the Deccan traps are the 

only major geological formations occurring in the district. The flows are generally separated 

by clay layers. There are also intrusions known as dykes cutting across the flows. The 

average flow thickness varies between 15 to 25 m. 

Alluvium : A very small part of the district along the river Godavari is occupied by alluvial 

deposits. The alluvium is of recent age, and lying over the Deccan Traps. The alluvium has a 

wide areal extension spread over 6 to 7 kms across the river course. The alluvium consists of 

clay sand and silt with thickness ranging from 15 to 20 m. 

Lineaments : There is a moderate network of lineaments. The prominent trends are northsouth, 

northeast - southwest, and northwest - southeast. It is observed that the northwest - 

southeast lineaments have controlled the channels of the Ghod and Sina rivers. 

The quality of ground water for household as well as agricultural purposes is very good over 

most parts of the district and the water table is generally between depths of 20 to 200 feet. 

At places, the water is very salty and unfit for use. 

Geomorphology: 

The major geological formation of the area is Deccan Trap Basalts and so the area shows 

trappean landforms.On the basis of degree of dissections and origin of the landforms, the 

trappean land forms have been classified as a) Highly Dissected Plateau, b) Moderately 

Dissected Plateau c) Slightly Dissected Plateau all of structural origin and Denudational 

Landforms.Besides the trappean landforms , alluvial landforms also occupy small parts of 

the district. 

Climate and Rainfall : 

The climate of the Ahmednagar district is hot and dry in general. The maximum 

temperature recorded in the month of May rises to about 40° C while the lowest temperature 

recorded in the month of January goes down to about 5-8°C. The district is one of the 


drought prone districts of the state due to uncertain and uneven distribution of rainfall. It 

receives an annual average rainfall of about 556 mm. 

The rainfall varies between 360 mm in Pathardi tahsil to 1034 mm in Akole tahsil. 

However, the rainfall in Akole and Rahata tahsils is relatively more than that of the other 

tahsils. 

The cold season in the district commences from December & ends in the month of 

February. The period from March to the 1st Week of June is the hot season which is 

followed by southwest monsoon season which lasts till the end of September. October & 

November constitute the post monsoon season.

Agriculture and Cropping Pattern : 

Of the total area of the district, 75.6% is under agriculture while about 9% land is 

taken up by forest.The number of registered land holdings was 6,80,609 which had 

13,56,362 hectares of land.There are three harvesting seasons in the district, namely Kharif, 

Rabi and Summer. During the Kharif season, foodgrains like bajra, jowar, rice, nachani, 

varai and cash crops like groundnut and sunflower are taken. Akola tahsil accounts for most 

of the rice and nachani. During the Rabi season, jowar, wheat and Harbhara are taken. 

During the summer season, where water for irrigation is available, groundnut, maize, 

sunflower, vegetables etc are grown. 

Storage of agricultural produce is done in 459 warehouses and godowns of the 

Maharashtra State Warehousing Corporation and those of Co-operative Societies.Total 

capacity of such godown is 1,13,300 Metric Tonnes. Ahmednagar city is the largest market 

place where in agricultural produce from other districts is also brought.

River Systems and Dams : 

The main methods of irrigation in the district are large, medium and small dams, lift 

irrigation and wells. 

Mula and Bhandardara are the two major irrigation projects in the districts. Water for 

irrigation is also got via canals from Gangapur (Upper Godavari Canal), Nasik District, and 

Ghod and Kukdi projects in Pune District. The total irrigation capacity of these projects is 

about 208 thousand hectares. 

There are other medium scale projects at Visapur Adhla, Pargaon, Ghatshil, 

Manadohol, Bhojapur, Mahe Sangvi and Sina which can irrigate upto 71 thousand hectares, 

and about 90 small scale projects with a total irrigation capacity of 23 thousand hectares. 


Most of the small scale projects in the district are Kolhapur type dams which have proved to 

be very beneficial. 

Maximum capacity of each dam is as under :-

Power Stations and Electricity Installations : 

There is at present no thermal power station or hydro-electric station in the district. The 

power requirements of the district is taken into consideration by the MSEB when planning 

for expansion of the network of the various substations for distribution spread throughout 

the district 

With the financial support of the World Bank, a Pumped Storage Scheme is being set up at 

Ghatghar. The Upper dam is being constructed on the Pravara river near village Ghatghar in 

Akola taluka of Ahmednagar district. The Gross storage of the dam is 5.87 Million Cubic 

Metre and the live storage is estimated at 5.21 Million Cubic Metre. The purpose of the 

Ghatghar project is storage and pumping of water for generation of electricity of 250 MW 

Industries :- 

Up to March 2005 there were 75 large scale industries including 19 sugar factories with 

16720 employee and 2893 small scale industries with 18732 employee.. The Maharashtra 

Industries Development Corporation has an Industrial Estate near Ahmednagar city on the 

Ahmednagar - Nasik road, which had till the end of March 2005,developed 1354 plots of 

which 1256 were distrubuted.Prominent names include Kirloskar Bearings, Garware Nylon, 

Indian Seamless, Crompton Greaves, Rallis India, India Forging, Chakan Oil Mills,

Transport and Communication Network : 

Ahmednagar district has a fairly well developed transport and communication infrastructure. 

The only railway route passing through the district is the Daund-Manmad line of the Central 

railway which has a length of 197 km with 24 stations. So goods as well as passenger travel 

through rail is limited. 

The total length of roads is 12,381 km. The total length of National Highway passing 

through district is 60 km.Length of State Highways is 1748 km. 

The State Transport has a well spread out network of services with about 697 buses plying 

on different routes covering distance of about 57170 km. 

As on 31 March 2005, there were 664 post offices and 83 telegraph offices. More than 632 

villages have access to a post office. Also the availability of telephones is also good, with 

24,199 telephones There are 18 post offices and 712 telephones per one lakh of population. 

There is a Low Power Transmitter at Ahmednagar. Doordarshan service is available with 

almost every village. Moreover, the use of dish antennas is also increasing. There is also a 

Low Power station of the All India Radio which transmits F.M. band. 

3.RISK ASSESSMENT AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS 

Economic, Social, Educational and Occupational Profile of the Population : 

Agriculture is the main economic activity, with 11781 sq. kms of agricultural area out of the 

total geographical area of the Ahmednagar district . Ahmednagar is one of the drought-prone 

districts of Maharashtra, which was severely hit by the drought in 1972. 

According to the information provided by the district administration, the Ahmednagar 

district has 30.38% of it’s population below poverty line. 3.00% of the people are living in 

flood-prone areas, while 0.30% of the population are settled in the proximity of major 

chemical plants within a 3 km. Radius. 20% of the people are living in road-side settlements. 

83% of the human settlements are in areas with non-specific building codes. 


38.97 % of the people are illiterate, while 26.59% of the people are landless. 12.41% of the 

people belong to Scheduled Castes, while those belonging to Scheduled Tribes constitute 

7.12% of the population. 

There are 18 majr hazardous industries in the district. 898 villages out of the total of 1581 

villages in Ahmednagar district do not have piped water supply. The effluent discharge from 

the chemical industries and sugar factories contaminate the drinking water sources in open 

dug wells and also contribute to the potential threat of spread of epidemics, especially during 

the monsoon season, as the groundwater table is also exposed to water contamination. 

The high percentage of people who are landless and who depend on agricultural labour are 

extremely vulnerable during periods of acute scarcity. A large proportion of the rural 

population depend on the Employment Guarantee Scheme for their livelihood during the 

summer months. 

Ahmednagar district has a whole range of educational institutions from small Anganwadis to 

medical, engineering and agriculture colleges. There were 3159 primary, 811 secondary and 

20 higher education institutes. Adult Education programme is being implemented in the 

district, adults being given instruction through 668 centres. 

Other facilities include Navodaya Vidyalaya at Takli Dhokeshwar, Public Schools, 

Mahatma Phule Agricultural University at Rahuri, Medical college at Pravaranagar, 

Homeopathic and Ayurvedic colleges, 14 ITIs, 4 engineering colleges, 8 polytechniques 

Disaster Specific Proneness : 

Floods : 

Floods are the most probable disaster which comes every year in some or other part of the 

district. Though 10 out of 14 Tahsils of the district are drought prone the district is subject to 

frequent floods from the rivers flowing from Sahyadri hill ranges around or across the 

district. 

Rivers, which surround the district and cause flood, are Godavari, Ghod, & Bhima. The 

rivers which traverse from the district and cause flood are mainly Pravara, Mula, & Sina. 

There are some other tributaries on these rivers, which some times cause local floods such as 

Nandini in Shevgaon taluka, Vincharna in Jamkhed and Kautuki in Newasa taluka. 

The district can be divide into two distinct river basins. One is Godavari basin and other is 

Krishna basin. The Upper part of the district starting from tahsil Akole consisting of 

Sangamner, Kopargaon Shrirampur, Newasa, Shevgaon Pathardi and part of Nagar, Rahuri 

and Parner taluka ending in the Nath-Sagar Dam in Paithan constitutes Godavari river basin 

and part of Parner, Nagar, Shrigonda, Karjat, Jamkhed, constitutes Krishna river basin. 

Floods in the district are caused by following main reasons. 


1. Primitive method of floods forecast i.e. reservoir operations aimed at conserving water 

and ensuring safety of dam without adequate concern for floods in down stream villages. 

2. Growth of vegetation and their-by obstructions in river channel. 

3. Non shifting of village population of flood affected area to rehabilitation area. 

4. Encroachment on flood zones. 

5. Constraints in K.T. weir operations during floods. 

Floods due to Godavari River : 

Godavari river passes through Kopargaon taluka and then flows along the border of 

the district on the north eastern side till Nath-Sagar Dam in Paithan. There is a grid of dams 

in Nashik district on the tributaries of Godavari such as Gangapur, Darna, Kadwa etc. All 

these tributaries converge at control point near Nandur-Madhameshwar. 

Water discharge at Nandur-Madhameshwar is taken as indicator of flood level in risk 

prone area of Ahmednagar district. In 2006 due to discharge of water upto 281000 cuses 

from nandurmademashwar creates flood situation in the district. Most of the villages of 

Kopergaon, Shrirampur & Newasa tahsils were affected by floods. 

The vulnerability of other villages on bank of river Godavari is shown in the following chart

Floods due to Pravara River : 

Pravara river originates from Ghatghar, Shendi, Murshet area in Akole tahsil. 

At present there is only one reservoir- Bhandardara- of 11000 mcft. capacity. One 

more dam down-stream of Bhandardara is coming up -Nilwande Dam- and another 

dam upstream of Bhandardara dam is a Hydro Power Project known as Ghatghar 

which when fully constructed may change the flood intensity in the villages. The 

discharge of water at Bhandardara dam is taken as control point discharge and the 

villages which get affected, are shown in the chart enclosed.

Floods due to Mula river : 

Mula river has its origin in Akole Tahsil with its catchment area covering Akole and 

parts of Sangamner, Parner and Rahuri tahsils. It has a dam near Rahuri known as 

Dnyaneshwar-Sagar whose capacity is about 26,000 mcft. Mula river causes flood in 

villages on its banks. Entire taluka headquarters of Rahuri is under flood zone marked by red 

and blue line. The theoretical plot of flood zones by irrigation department shows that 

Ahmednagar-Manmad Highway will not get submerged near Rahuri, where the river crosses 

Nagar-Manmad State Highway, up to discharge of 1 Lakh cusses, however, it has been 

observed that, actually, the bridge on the river near Rahuri is in danger at 30000 to 40000 

cusses flow in the river. The villages likely to be affected due to discharge at control point at 

Mula-Dam are shown in the chart enclosed. It is to be mentioned that the intensity of flood 

due to Mula and Pravara rivers increases due to the fact that the gates in K.T. weirs on river 

channel are not open during flood time.

Flood due to Sina River : 

Sina river in Karjat taluka does not have high flow down stream. It’s reservoirs 

capacity is only 2000 mcft. However, Ahmednagar district headquarters which is on the 

upper side of the reservoir, comes under floods with rainfall of about 400 mm in 24 hours. 

Sina river which passes from the western border of the Ahmednagar town may result into 

floods in the low lying areas of township. It may not result in the losses of lives but 


definitely results into the loss of goods, or other household items. The traffic from 

Ahmednagar to Pune gets obstructed due to floodwater passing over the road bridge.

Floods due to Ghod River : 

Ghod river is the tributary of Bhima and meets later near Shirur. It is joined by 

Kukadi river in Pune district. Control point for flood measurement of Ghod river is at Ghod 

dam. The villages on bank of the river affected by floods of Ghod river is shown in the chart 

enclosed. It takes 5 hours time in water release from Ghod Dam to reach village Kashti in 

Shrigonda Tahsil.

Floods due to Bhima River : 

Bhima river meets the Kukadi river near Daund. Bhima river has many tributaries 

such as Mula, Mutha, Indrayani and Ghod in Pune district. It has about 17 dams’ structures 

on the upside. The water flow is from each one of them. On the down stream side there is a 

dam called Ujani-Dam near Pandharpur. The backwater in Ujani dam rises above HFL 

resulting into floods. The control point for flood forecast in Bhima river is at Daund. The 

villages likely to be affected by floods for various discharge levels in the river at Daund are 

shown in the enclosed charts. 

Ahmednagar district had to make lot of preparations every year to mitigate the effect of 

floods and save life and property. Even though the maximum inflow in Ujani reservoir in 

estimated to be to the tune of 8,00,000 cusses and outflow from 41 gates from its spillway to 

the 6,34,000 cusses. Practically it is not possible to release there much water as down stream 

of the Ujani Dam. For example, in year 1997 discharge of about 2,75,000 cusses from Ujani 

and simultaneous discharge of 1,00,000 cusses from Nira river posed sever threat of flood to 

Pandharpur town. This result into storing of water in Ujani Dam above HFL between the 

free board area resulting it to flood danger in greater magnitude that designed.

Earthquakes : 

Ahmednagar district lies in zone III (Moderate risk ).On 30-9-1993 there was earthquake in 

Latur and Osmanabad Districts in Aurangabad Division .Newasa Taluka is on the border 

line of Aurangabad district. Due to this earthquake wall of one house was collapsed and two 

children were dead. The total loss due to earthquake has been estimated by the district 

Administration at Rs. 5,17,410. Government has spent Rs. 25000/ for repairing damaged 

house. 

Ahmednagar district does not have a history of earthquakes and hence there is no proper 

seismic monitoring network that covers the district. There is only one earthquake recording 

station at Bhandardara Dam. 

However, recently there were some reports of seismic activity around Bota village of 

Sangamner Taluka. This area witnessed seismic activity albeit of a very low magnitude 

(

Road Accidents : 

Ahmednagar District has a good network of roadways with 60 kms of the Pune-Nasik 

Highway passing through the western part and the Pune -Manmad road passing through the 

central part of the district. 

As on all highways, there are a few accident-prone spots where the frequency of accidents is 

the most. All these fall on the stretch of the Pune - Manmad highway. These are Kamargaon 

Ghat, Chas (Nagar taluka), Supa (Parner taluka), MIDC area (Nagar taluka), Krishi 

Vidyapeeth ( Rahuri Taluka) Shingve and Viladghat (Nagar Taluka) and these accident 

prone areas have been shown in the map. This highway has very heavy traffic with all 

vehicles proceeding to the Aurangabad District, Shirdi and Gujarat. Moreover there are 

seven M.I.D.C.areas which lie along this road and few L.P.G.storage godowns also .This 

leads to a high incidence of transport of hazardous chemicals and L.P.G. along this route. 

Major Industries like Kirloskar Oil Engines, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Sanjiwani Sahakari 

Sakhar Karkhana etc. situated on this route receive tankers carrying L.P.G. and other 

hazardous chemicals. 

All these factors contribute to the potential high risk of road accidents on this stretch of the 

highway. The following is an analysis for the facilities available in the proximity of each of 

these accidents spots. 

Supa, a major rural centre in Parner Taluka has a proposed M.I.D.C. However, the nearest 

major hospitals with surgercy facilities and ambulance are at Ahmednagar about 25 kms 

from Supa. The same is true for Kamargaonghat and Chas villages. The nearest Police 

Station is an Out Post in Supa town. Specialised equipment like bulldozers, earthmoving 

equipment, etc. are available at Ahmednagar. 

Ahmednagar city is equipped with several major facilities and is at a distance of only five 

kms away from the M.I.D.C. areas. There is a separate police station for the M.I.D.C. There 

are several private hospitals with surgery and ambulance facility near the M.I.D.C., 

especially the Dr. Mhaske Accident Clinic. 

The next accident prone spot of Viladghat is only 10 kms. from Ahmednagar and hence 

necessary equipments can be easily rushed in case of emergency. Shingve and Krishi 

Vidyapeeth fall in Rahuri Taluka. Rahuri has a Municipal Hospital with surgery facilities 

and ambulance service with additional ambulance also available with the Rahuri Sahakari 

Sakhar Karkhana. The Krishi Vidyapeeth has a large number of vehicles which can be 

requisitioned to transport injured persons in case of emergency. Specialised equipment like 

bulldozers are available only at Ahmednagar, about 30 kms. 

From the foregoing analysis it is clear that for all the accidents prone areas there are 

adequate facilities within a radius of 25 to 30 kms. for management of emergencies arising 

out of road accidents.

Fire :- 

In terms of past occurrence, fires are ranked second among the disaster probability of 

Ahmednagar district. The probability of future occurrence of fires appears to be medium. 

Even though the fire probability is medium, the damage due to fires can be devastating and 

the extent of loss of lives and property can be high. 

People lost their lives due to fires, which mostly occurred in huts situated near the sugar 

factories. These huts are constructed by migrant labour during the sugar cutting season and 

the fires break out due to kerosene lamps in the night. Loss of properity upto 10 crores due 

to fires in the cotton godowns during last five years. 

As regards fires in the forest areas, department of forest has made adequate arrangement by 

providing equipments, machinery and trained staff . All LPG agencies should rigidity follow 

safety norms to avoid accidents by gas cylinder blast. Godowns to store gas cylinders should 

be properly built and located away from residential area. 

Industrial and Chemical Accidents : 

Ahmednagar has 7 M.I.D.C. estates. However, the number of factories either 

handling/storing /manufacturing hazardous chemicals is small. There have been only four 


accidents in the past which was due to negligence of the labourers and resulted in a total 

death toll of only four persons. 

The two major areas where there is risk of Industrial Hazards are M.I.D.C.Ahmednagar, 

Sangamner Sahakari Audyogik Vasahat, Sangamner and Sanjiwani Sahakari Sakhar 

Karkhana, Kopargaon. 

M.I.D.C Ahmednagar has three large factories viz. Kirloskar Oil Engines, Sun 

Pharmaceuticals and Hogans India Ltd. They receive a total of 10 tankers per month 

carrying L.P.G.and chemicals like Sulphuric Acid, Toluene etc. All these three factories 

have their own hazard management plans and regular safety drills. Moreover there are 

adequate emergency facilities like hospitals and Police Station near the M.I.D.C. However 

there is a glaring ommission of fire fighting unit and in the event of an emergency the 

nearest fire brigade is with Ahmednagar Municipal Council about 5 kms away. Earlier the 

M.I.D.C. area was far from the city but due to rapid urbanisation there has been a spurt in 

settlements around the industries. The population in these settlements is highly vulnerable in 

case of major emergencies like explosion within the industrial area. Moreover the first aid 

facilities available with the hospitals near the M.I.D.C. may not be adequate enough to deal 

with such large scale emergencies. 

Within the Sangamner Sahakari Audyogik Vasahat there are two industries Mangalam 

Organics and Mangalam Lab handling hazardous chemicals. In both these Units the 

workers are trained in fire fighting and they have there own Medical Officer for emergency 

first aid. There is a fire brigade at Sangamner and also large number of private hospitals and 

ambulances. 

The Sanjiwani Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana in Kopargaon Taluka manufactures Sugar and 

alcohol and there is sufficient storage of hazardous chemicals like nitric acid, sulphuric acid, 

benzene, ammonia, acetaldehyde. The workers are trained and the factory has their own 

medical Officer. A Fire brigade is attached to the Kopargaon Municipal Council. 

Cyclones :- 

Ahmednagar district lies in zone III (Moderate risk )regarding cyclones.Ahmednagar district 

has not experienced any major Cyclones. The district’s degree of proneness to Cyclones is 

low. 

In October, November1997 there were heavy Cyclones in Andhra State. The reflections of 

these Cyclones were experienced in Ahmednagar district. 79 Villages were affected due to 

these Cyclones. 4 persons died and 11 were injured. 

In Jamkhed Tahasil one person died due to lighting and one was injured. Necessary 

assistance as per Government Orders are paid to the legal heirs of the deceased. In southern 

part of the district, houses are constructed in clay and stones and there is possibility of 

collapsing of houses in case of disaster.

Maharashtra,Revenue and Forests Department .Government of Mahashtra has 

sympathetically considered his request and amount of Rs. 50,000/-(deducting amount of 

Rs.5,000/- already paid ) was sanctioned to him by the Chief Minister’s Sachivalaya vide

There was heavy cyclones in Andhra State during the month of Oct.97. The 

reflections of this cyclones are generally in Jamkhed and Karjat talukas. Due to the cyclones 

in Andhra state these two talukas experienced heavy rainfall. The villagers of these talukas 

are residing in the houses built up in clay and stones. The roof of these houses are of GI 

sheets. In cycle due to heavy weather of these house fly in the sky and dropped in anywhere. 

This causes accidents in these talukas. Generally Jamkhed, Karjat, Srigonda and Nagar 

talukas are affected due to heavy cyclones in Andhra State.

Inventory and Evaluation of Resources 

For assessing the capacity of the district to respond effectively to different types of disasters, 

and more specifically to the disasters that the district is specifically vulnerable to, inventory 

and evaluation of resources is necessary. 

The detailed inventory of resources along with the locations, and contact phone numbers of 

the authorities in charge are given in Section 10, and an evaluation of those resources is 

presented here. 

In the case of Ahmednagar district, the capability is judged primarily in terms of the ability 

of the district administration to respond to floods, fires and road accidents. During a disaster, 

both governmental and non-governmental (including private) resources are planned to be 

mobilised. The list of resources available with the government and other agencies is given in 

the following tables. These are proposed to be updated regularly.

5. 1. Administrative Preparedness 

Control Room in the District :- 

A control room exists with the Collector and the Resident Deputy Collector supervising it’s 

operations. During emergency, it is activated to function round the clock. 

Community education and Preparedness Programmes :- 

Aflood control programme is prepared every year before onset of mansoon with discussion 

with the members of the Disaster Management Committee.Programmes for the community 

education and preparedness to overcome any disaster given wide publicity through posters, 

banners, handbills in the district mostly in vulnerable areas.Warnings are disseminated to 

the villages by beat of drums with the involvement of the village officers, Gram Panchayats 

and local newspapers.· Special commitees are set up consisting Tahsildars and all officers at 

taluka and village level for mobilising community participation in the event of a disaster. 

Existing Emergency Action Plans 

· Ahmednagar district has a disaster management plan which was prepared for a specific 

disaster, as per the directives of the Government. 

· All measures are taken to save the life, crops and property. Crop insurance scheme is 

implemented in the district. Requisition trucks are to be paid the charges at the prevailing 

market rates. The tender system for higher purchase etc. may be exempted taking into 

consideration the gravity of disaster. 


· As regards the provision of health and sanitation measures, the district administration 

requires sufficient medicines, white cloth, temporary sanitary blocks, wood and Kerosene. 

· As soon as the disaster occurs the Govt. should place the grant at the disposal of the 

District Collector instead of Divisional Commissioner so that appropriate medicines can be 

purchased immediately if not available with Govt. Hospital. 

A ) Disaster Specific Capability Analysis : 

1) Flood : 

Ahmednagar District has danger of floods due to the following rivers - Sina, Mula, Pravara, 

Godawari, Bhima, and Kukadi. 

The forecasting of flood is by regularly getting figures of discharge in the rivers. All river 

basins except Sina is mapped for various discharge levels so that advance warning can be 

given for endangered villages. 

In the month of May of every year the Collector and Principal Office of Flood Control call 

for a meeting of all concerned Officers. The following are the members of the Committee.

In the meeting the detailed discussion is held for the prevention of flood and measures to be 

taken in case of unforeseen circumstances. The flood control room starts its functioning with 

effect from 1 st of June every year. The control room is functioning round the clock. 

Necessary staff is appointed for this special duty. In every Tahsil Office as well as the 

offices connected with the floods also open their control room and it is functioning round the 

clock since 1 st of June every year. 


Community warning system in the form of drum beating exists to warn the villagers on the 

down stream and riverbanks. 

In rural areas the Zilla Parishad Schools are kept ready to shift the sufferers in the schools. 

2) Fires : 

There are 7 Municipal Councils in Ahmednagar District. These Municipal Councils have 

their Fire Brigade Services. The Municipal Councils do not have the Hydraulic System 

which enable reaching higher floors. Secondly, the staff of the fire brigade have not been 

trained and they have not been supplied with protective equipment. Due to fast development 

of urbanisation of rural areas there are multi storeyed structure constructed now a days and 

therefore it is rather difficult to control the fire in such a building with available manpower 

and equipment. The fire services are inadequate to tackle fires in such structures. 

3) Earthquake : 

A Seismic Observatory has been set up on Bhandardara Dam in Akole Taluka of 

Ahmednagar district . The village Bota in the adjacent Sangamner Taluka has had some 

minor seismic activity in the past. 

4) Road Accidents : 

There is High Way Patrolling Traffic Aid post in Ahmednagar. The Office is at Kedgaon 

village near Ahmednagar City. The Office has no telephone facility but wireless set is in the 

office. There are two Trafic Aid Posts in the district. One is in the city and one is at 

Babhaleshwar with wireless facility. 

The Public Health Centre and Rural Hospitals are in the district. Similarly the private 

hospitals are also in the district. The road accident sufferers can be shifted in these hospitals 

immediately. In order to curb the road accidents, service lane to be introduced, and set off 

from highway to be strictly observed. The curves on roads and ghats to be improved in order 

to minimise the road accidents. 

5) Epidemics : 

At district headquarters there is one Civil Hospital having different specialists with essential 

medicines and equipment. There are 96 Primary Health Centres, 20 Hospitals96 Primary 

Health Centres,12 dispensaries, 5 Primary Health Units 456 health sub stations. These 

involve 279 doctors 973 attendants. 

Training has been provided to all Gram-Panchayat for supplying potable water. Health 

education and awareness campaigns are being carried out in all villages in the district. 

There is one public health laboratory for water testing. This normally takes a week for 

testing water samples while in emergency it takes at least two days. The following 

examinations are to be carried out in the district laboratory—(1) Bacteriological examination 

of drinking water, (2) Bacteriological examination of stool samples, (3) examination of 

quality of bleaching powder, (4) chemical examination in drinking water, (5) examination of 

quality of ALUM used, (6) examination of food samples and sent by civil hospital, (7)

6. Industrial and Chemical Accidents : 

Sun Pharmaceutical Co. Ahmednagar, Kirloskar Oil Engine Ltd. MIDC Ahmednagar and 

Mangalam Drugs and Organic Pvt. Ltd. Sangamner Co-operative Industrial Estate, 

Sangamner are major hazardous factories in the district. There is a office of the Dy. 

Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health in Ahmednagar. Besides there is no monitoring 

centre for industrial accidents. 

7) Cyclones : 

Ahmednagar district is not vulnerable to the Cyclones. However, if there is cyclone in South 

India, the same affects the Talukas of Karjat and Jamkhed of this district. In rural areas the 

people are living in the houses constructed in clay and big stones, with G.I. sheet roof and 

therefore there is possibility of collapsing these houses. The G.I. sheets in some of the 

houses are not fitted properly and therefore, these sheets are blown in the winds causing 

deaths. 


5.2. Preparedness Measures undertaken by Departments : 

In addition to the administrative preparedness measures, the district control room will 

receive reports on preparedness from the relevant district level departments and other 

departments, as per the details given below. This will enable the District Collector to analyse 

the capabilities and preparedness measures of various departments and report on the same to 

the Emergency Operations Centre, Relief Commissioner and Divisional Commissioner.

2) Mitigation Measures : 

1 Structural Measures 

1. In the seismically active areas of Bota in Sangamner Taluka, a survey of the houses 

needs to be done to identify the structurally weak houses and also to ascertain the extent 

of damage caused in the earlier seismic disturbances. Possible retrofitting may also be 

considered after survey if found necessary. 

2. Structural studies of the dams ( especially Bhandardara) and other smaller dams needs to 

be done especially in view of the seismic disturbances in this area. The strength of the 

dams to withstand a certain level of seismicity needs to be ascertained. 

3. Red and blue zoning of Pravara River . 


4. Reservoir routing for Ujani, Gangapur, Darana, Bhima, Ghod etc. (Advance warning 

system.) 

5. For Road accidents, there are a large number of accident prone spots on the highways 

passing through the district. For example Pune-Manmand highway, there are accident prone 

spots due to dangerous curves at Sharadwadi in Shirur Taluka, Karmargaon, Chas Vilad- 

Ghat,Shingave in Nagar taluka. For Pune-Beed road, such spot is Karanji Ghat . The roads 

need to be widened at these curves so as to give better visibility of incoming traffic and 

avoid head on collisions. 

6. Old bridges on rivers and nalahs which are at very low height from the river bed and are 

not much in use now need to be demolished. Such bridges act as dams restricting the flow of 

water during rainy season and this leads to flooding upstream. 

7. Unauthorised constructions in the flood zone areas should be demolished. 

8. Brick kilns near the banks of the rivers need to be demolished as, if the kilns are 

perpendicular to he flow of he river, than they obstruct the flow of water and lead to 

flooding of the adjacent banks. 

9. Highway punctures to be restricted , service lane to be introduced and set off from high 

way to be strictly observed. 

10. Fire Brigades with trained manpower are needed for the talukas of Jamkhed, Karjat, 

Shevgaon, Akole and Pathardi. 

11. Sugar factories need to have fire engines and trained manpower. 

12. Seismometer at Bhandardara needs to be properly maintained as it is the only seismic 

monitoring instrument in the whole district. (Advance warning system.) 

2)Non Structural Measures : 

1. Land use regulations especiallly in case of flood prone areas around MIDCs need to be 

strictly enforced. 

2. Highway safety petrol on the major highways. 

3. Trees of Yedibabhul (wild trees ) have germinated abnormally on the banks of rivers in 

the district. The removal of these trees is absolutely necessary. 

4 Unauthorised encroachments of human settlement are increased tremendously on the 

banks of rivers. Removal of these settlement is necessary by enforcing rules. 

5.Social education about G. I. Sheets roof. 

6. Education and training about low cost housing which in seismic prone of Sangamner and 

Akole area. 


7. Organising volunteers group of divers and swimmers to help District Administration in 

floods. 

8. Organising self help groups in highway villages for road accidents. 

9. Organising N. G. Os. to help for food, clothing, etc. during flood damage . 

10. Water quality purification awareness programme to the Village panchayat workers and 

office bearers. 

7. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL : 

Disaster management would involve many layers of participating organization. The three 

focal levels would be State, District and the site of the disaster. The State level agencies 

would be involved in policy decisions, resource allocation, prioritisation of activities and 

budget allocation and monitoring through the Emergency Operations Centre. 

The District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) is an apex planning body and will 

play a major role in preparedness and mitigation. 

The district level response will be coordinated under the guidance of District Collector who 

will act as District Disaster Manager. 

1) Responsibilities of Collector : 

The Collector shall be responsible for 


‣ preparation of the DDMAP with the assistance of the DDMC. 

‣ setting up District Control Room 

‣ encouraging formation of Mutual Aid and Response Groups (MARG) 

‣ Under the DDMAP, district level agencies would be responsible for directing field 

interventions through various agencies right from the stage of warning to relief and 

rehabilitation. 

‣ At the disaster site, specific tasks to manage the disaster will be performed. 

‣ Collector will be an integral part of the DCR. 

‣ Collector will be assisted by SOC. 

· SOC will be headed by a Site Manager. 

· Site Manager will coordinate the activities at various camp sites and affected areas. 

· The Site Operations Centre will report to the District Control Room. 

‣ Collector will coordinate all the field responses. Field Responses include setting up 

Transit Camps, Relief Camps and Cattle Camps. 

The desk arrangements provides for division of tasks, information gathering and record 

keeping and accountability of the desk officer to the DDM for specific functions. Each desk 

should have a Desk Officer assigned. The capacity of various desks to coordinate amongst 

themselves and with the units to be coordinated will ultimately decide the quality of 

response. Such a function of coordination would largely depend on the capacity to 

effectively keep a track on communications received and the decisions taken. 

2)Disaster Management Committee : 

A Disaster Management Committee exists to assist the Collector in 

‣ Reviewing the threat of disasters 

‣ Vulnerability of the district to such disasters 

‣ Evaluating the preparedness and 

‣ Considering suggestions for improvement of the response document DDMAP. 

The Committee meets once a year under the chairmanship of the Collector and consists of

3) Site Operations Centre and Relief Camps : 

1. Site Operations Centre : 


Depending on the nature of disaster and the type of damage, it may be necessary to set-up a 

number of relief camps and/or cattle camps.· In such a situation, the DDM may decide to 

set-up a Site Operations Centre to reduce the pressure on DCR for field coordination. 

Depending on the disaster locations and the number of camp sites, the DDM may decide 

to set-up more than one Site Operations Centre. The Site Operation Centre and the camps 

would be wound up after the relief and rehabilitation work is called off or after the relief 

camps and cattle camps are dismantled whichever is later. 

The Site Operations Centre will be managed by Site Manager of the rank of Sub-Divisional 

Officer/Deputy Collector. 

It may be noted that a coordinating structure of this type may have many areas of overlap 

with the DCR and therefore the activities need not be duplicated. The basic functions of the 

Site Operations Centre will be to facilitate communication and coordination between DCR 

and the camp sites. 

2. Relief Camps : 

Relief Camps would be set-up preferably on settlement lines and unless the disaster 

is a localised phenomenon, the DDM may decide to set-up as many camps as the number of 

villages affected. Also the size of the camp will be one of the considerations particularly in 

urban areas to decide on the number. The administrative structure for such relief camps 

responsible for direct service to “victims” is given in Table III. Each relief camp will be 

assigned to a Camp Officer, of the rank of Tahsildar. In some of the disasters, it may be 

necessary to set-up Feeding centres only for the victims. 

The DDM may agree to assign some such relief camps or feeding centres to willing 

non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with demonstrated capability and required 

manpower. However, such camps would also come under coordinating mechanisms 

established through Site Operations Centre/s or DCR. 

1) Encouraging Community Preparedness : 

Disasters may result in cutting off essential services and in spite of administrative 

preparedness it may not be possible for the administration to reach out immediately. 

Mitigation efforts and preparation of the disaster management action plan for local 

areas are essential elements and pre-requisites. Preparedness to a large extent would reduce 

the impact and the damage. Training and simulation exercises for enhancing the 

community’s preparedness and response capability will simultaneously strengthen and 

enhance the capacity of the administration to undertake necessary preparedness or 

evacuation measures. The district administration is encouraging and supporting initiatives 

towards community preparedness measures including formation of Community Emergency 

Response Teams (CERTs). 

On the basis of discussions, apart from the NGOs mentioned earlier, the following 

Private Sector units, Mahila Mandals and CBOs have been identified as resource groups for 

involvement in community preparedness measures. They will all undergo training for the 


same. These Private Sector units, Mahila Mandals, CBOs, NGOs would adopt a conscious 

effort towards community level preparedness measures. They would also promote the 

formation of CERTs. 

As a part of general preparedness at community level, the families in the community would 

be made conscious about the type of hazard that the household situation presents and the 

threats from outside. Also, communities would be encouraged to undertake exercises in risk 

and vulnerability analysis and preparation of community response plan to possible disasters. 

Thus local local disaster management action plans for hot-spot areas in the context of 

specific vulnerability would be developed. For areas with high concentration of industries 

MARGs have been set-up, whereas for areas prone to other types of disasters Community 

Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) are being set-up. Special efforts have also been taken 

to involve Sugar Co-operatives towards Community Preparedness Measures. 

2) Mutual Aid and Resource Groups (MARGs) : 

Ahmednagar District has 7 Industrial Estates and there are about 16 industries dealing with 

chemicals. There is significant transport of hazardous chemicals along the various highways 

passing through the district. Moreover these highways have many accident prone spots as 

has been outlined in the vulnerability assessment. There is need for setting up Mutual Aid 

and Response Groups wherever this highway passes close to densely populated 

localities/villages/wadis. 

The objective of setting up MARGs in these areas are 

· Make the industrial zone self-sufficient 

· Encourage pooling of resources to tackle industrial accidents 

· Manage both on-site and off-site industrial accidents 

· Provide for a degree of expertise in managing disasters 

· Reduce the response time for managing disasters 

· To integrate the on-site plan of industries with an off-site plan. 

· Assist the district administration in managing disasters 

3)Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) : 

In most disasters, community members are the first to respond before any outside assistance 

can reach the disaster site. Therefore in certain disaster prone areas a group of young 

volunteers or Community Emergency Response Teams are being formed and trained to 

undertake essential tasks which would reduce loss of life and property and at the same time 

build confidence in self-management. Essentially CERTs would contribute in the following 

areas: 

1. Organising training and preparedness exercises at the community level 

2. Ensuring family preparedness on the receipt of warning 

3. Ensuring communication links both within the community and with administration 

4. Controlling rumours and panic behaviour and undertaking confidence building 

activities 

5. Mobilising youth and able-bodied persons from the community to provide volunteers 

support, wherever required 


6. Organising local work teams for immediate rescue, and relief e.g. cooked food, first 

aid,assistance in law and order 

7. Assisting the handicapped who need special help 

8. Facilitating movement of relief teams during evacuation and relief and ensuring 

appropriate tagging as and when necessary 

9. Guarding major installations and evacuated properties till the administration takesover. 

These CERTs are expected to support the efforts of the Gram Panchayat and Tahsildar. 

4) Villages CERTs formed : 

Ahmednagar district has a recurrent problem of floods. There are many flood prone 

villages along the major rivers and in almost all the tahsils.Such “Community Emergency 

Response Teams” formed in these flood prone villages. 

5) Areas of Community Participation : 

Administration and NGOs at the disaster site should ensure maximum community 

participation in all stages of operation in order to maintain community morale and 

confidence, maximise the use of local resources, reduce costs of operation and promote a 

faster recovery. It is important to note that the so-called “victims” are not all that helpless 

and offer a tremendous manpower resource and ingenuity to overcome the crises. Disaster 

management situations offers a wide range of choice and demands a immediate decision 

making. The participation of communities and their representatives would reduce the 

pressures on administration with regard to the choice and uncertainties of community’s 

response to the decision-making process. 

Based on local dynamics, ethos and the experience of the Latur earthquake, an appropriate 

strategy to ensure community support has been evolved. Such efforts to enlist community 

support and participation have gone a long way in reassuring the community about the 

administration’s intent and seriousness about managing the disaster. 

Efforts to enlist community participation is being ensured by 

‣ identifying situational, opinion and position leaders in the community and voicing 

administration’s confidence in their capabilities to undertake the tasks. 

‣ Consultations and dialogues expressly indicating the need for assistance would 

encourage the community and its leaders to come forward. 

‣ Regular feedback meetings and an open book approach to demonstrate transparency. 

‣ Involving community in decision making at local levels 

The major areas of community participation are being identified and include the 

following : 

1 During Evacuation 


For appropriate security and law and order evacuation would be undertaken with assistance 

from community leaders and community based organisations (CBOs). 

The entire family would evacuate together as a unit. However, to avoid stampede and 

confusion and in cases of inadequate transport or limited time, emergency evacuation would 

be undertaken in the following order : 

· Seriously injured and sick 

· Children, women and handicapped 

· Old 

· Able-bodied 

For emergency evacuations , the families would be encouraged to take along water, food, 

clothing and emergency supplies to last at least three days. 

In addition, the families would be encouraged to assemble the following kit. 

· Adeqaute supply of water in closed, unbreakable containers. 

· Adequate supply of non-perishable packaged food and dry rations 

· A change of clothing and rain gear. 

· Blankets and bedsheets, towels 

· Buckets, Plates and mugs made of plastic 

· Soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste 

· A battery-powered radio, torch, lantern, matches 

· Cash and jewellery 

· Personal medicines 

· A list of important family documents including ration card, passport, bank passbook 

address/telephone book (of relatives), certificates, driving licence, property documents, 

insurance documents etc. 

· Special items including foods, for infants, elderly or disabled family members. 

People would be asked to shut off electricity and water at main switches and valves before 

leaving. 

People would be asked to listen to a battery-powered radio and follow local instructions. 

In other cases, people would be advised to follow these steps: 

· Wear protective clothing. 

· Secure their homes. Close and lock doors and windows. 

· Turn off the main water valve and electricity 

· Leave early enough to avoid being trapped. 

· Follow recommended evacuation routes. Not to take shortcuts. They may be blocked. 

· Not to move into flooded areas. 

· Stay away from downed power lines. 

· Animals may not be allowed in public shelters. With respect to livestock, community 

would be instructed to set the livestock free before evacuating in order to avoid extensive 

loss of livestock. If possible, the community may be advised to carry the livestock along if 

the evacuation does not involve transportation by vehicles. 

2 During the Disaster 


Community leaders would be responsible for ensuring the following community behaviour : 

· People stay calm and panic behaviour is not encouraged. Regulate helter-skelter running or 

crowding of people. 

· Encourage people to stay at a secured place and protect themselves from injuries. 

· People do not enter damaged buildings or structures or even their own houses 

· People do not touch electric poles, utility wires/cables 

· People do not use telephones except in life-threatening situations 

· Preparedness of community for recurrence of the disaster, increase in severity, or 

consequential emergencies 

· Check for injuries. Do not attempt to move seriously injured persons unless they are in 

immediate danger of death or further injury. 

· Undertake first-aid activities as per the guidelines given in preparedness and mitigation 

document of DDMAP 

· Visually inspect utility lines and appliances for damage. 

· If water pipes are damaged, shut off the water supply at the main valve. 

· People stay away from damaged areas, unless their assistance has been specifically 

requested by police, fire or relief organizations. 

· Mobilise people to put out small fires and people inside are made to evacuate. 

· People do not throw away any damaged goods until an official inventory has been 

taken. 

· Help police, if requested, to maintain law and order and watch the evacuated property 

during the disaster 

3 During Relief and Rehabilitation 

Immediately after the disaster, the members of the community may look depressed and 

helpless, but very soon gets euphoric when they find that after all everything is not lost. 

Participation of community at this stage helps in early recovery and promotes mental health. 

It is necessary to see that member of the community are continuously engaged in some sort 

of helping activity to draw them out of their depression. 

Relief authorities at the site would therefore: 

· Encourage self-help in every activity of their day-to-day living. 

· Encourage assistance for location and identification of dead, disposal of dead bodies, 

disposal of carcasses and disposal of damaged food stocks 

· Encourage contribution of labour (loading, unloading, distribution, temporary

9.Disaster Specific Family Preparedness Measures : 

1 Fires 

[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic response, fire 

accidents demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below are the preparedness 

measures and responses which are specific to fire accidents]. 

Fire spreads quickly; there is no time to grab valuables or inform administration. Heat and 

smoke are even more dangerous than the flames; inhaling the super-hot air can sear the 

lungs. Fire produces poisonous gases that make you disoriented and drowsy. Instead of 

being awakened by a fire, it may induce a deeper sleep. 

In case of fire know what to do, how to escape, how to safeguard the occupants. Have a 

plan. 

1.1 Fire safety tips 

· Teach family members to stay low to the floor (where the air is safer in a fire) when 

escaping from a fire. 

1.2 What to do during a fire 

· Use water to put out small fires. Do not try to put out a fire that is getting out of control. 

Call the fire department. Make sure everyone knows how to call the fire department. 

· Never use water on an electrical fire. 

· Smother oil and grease fires in the kitchen with baking soda or salt, or put a lid over the 

flame if it is burning in a pan. 

· If the clothes catch on fire, the person should stop, drop and roll until the fire is 

extinguished. Running only makes the fire burn faster. Those assisting should pour water 

and not try to control it with bare hands. 

· Feel for heat near the top of the door before opening. If it's hot, don't open it unless it is an 

escape route. In such a case Feel the bottom of the door with the palm of your hand before 

opening it. If the door is cool, leave immediately. Be prepared to crawl. Smoke and heat rise, 

and the air is clearer and cooler near the floor. If the door is hot, escape through a window. 

If escape is not possible, signal and call out for help, alerting the fire fighters. 

· Close doors of the rooms on fire. It will hold back the fire and keep out poisonous smoke 

until help arrives. 

· If escape is not possible, stay near the floor, where the air is better. If all doors are closed, 

open a window for air. If possible, stuff wet rags around doors to hold back smoke and heat. 

· Stay out. Do not, for any reason, go back into a burning house. If someone is missing, tell 

the fire fighters. 

1.3 What to do after a fire 

· Do not enter a fire-damaged structureunless authorities say it is okay. 


· When entering a fire-damaged structure, look for signs of heat or smoke. 

· Have an electrician check your household wiring before the current is turned on. 

· Beware of structural damage. Roofs and floors may be weakened and need repair. 

· Keep records of all clean-up and repair costs. 

· Do not throw away any damaged goods until an official inventory has been taken. 

· In case of tenancy, contact the landlord. 

· Secure personal belongings or move them to another location. 

· Discard food and medicines that have been exposed to heat, smoke or soot. 

· Do not try to open a safe or strong box. It can hold intense heat for several hours. If the 

door is opened before the box has cooled, the entering air combined with the high internal 

temperature can cause the contents to burst into flames. 

· If the local administration say the structure is unsafe and must be vacated : 

¨ Take jewellery, cash, and financial records and other important documents. 

¨ After vacating, notify the new residential address to friends, relatives, police and 

fire departments, delivery services, employers, schools and the post office 

2 Earthquakes 

[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic response, 

earthquakes demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below are the 

preparedness measures and responses which are specific to earthquakes]. 

The actual movement of the ground in an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death and 

injury. Most casualties result from falling objects and debris. Earthquakes also may trigger 

landslides and generate huge ocean waves, each of which can cause great damage. There are 

many actions which can be taken to reduce the dangers. 

2.1 Preparing for an Earthquake 

· Prepare a home Earthquake plan 

· Choose a safe place in every room - under a sturdy table or desk or against an inside wall 

where nothing can fall on you. 

· Practice drop, cover, and hold on at least twice a year. Drop under a sturdy desk or table, 

hold on, and protect the eyes by pressing the face against the arm. If there is no table or desk 

nearby, sit on the floor against an interior wall away from windows or tall furniture that 

could fall on you. 

· Teach children to drop, cover, and hold on 

2.2 During an Earthquake 

· Stay calm. 

· Inside, stand in a doorway or crouch under a desk or table, away from windows. Watch for 

falling objects. If in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting the head with a pillow. Drop, 

cover, and hold on 

· Outdoors, stand away from buildings, trees, telephone, and electrical lines. 


· On the road, drive away from subways, flyovers and bridges. Stop in safe area. Stay in 

vehicle. 

2.3 After an Earthquake 

· Check for injuries. Provide first aid. 

· Check for water, sewage breaks and for downed electrical lines and short-circuits. Turn off 

appropriate utilities. Look for and extinguish small fires. Eliminate fire hazards. 

· Check for building damage and potential safety problems. 

· Clean up dangerous spills. 

· Turn on radio and listen for instructions from local authorities/police/fire brigade 

· Don't use the telephone except for emergencies. 

· Expect aftershocks. Each time you feel one, drop, cover, and hold on 

3 Floods and Flash Floods : 

[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic response, floods 

demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below are the preparedness measures 

and responses which are specific to floods]. 

Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural hazards. Some floods develop 

over a period of days, but flash floods can result in raging waters in just a few minutes. 

Flash floods carry rocks, mud and other debris and can occur without any visible sign of 

rainfall. Land slides are another danger created by flooding. 

3.1 Before a Flood 

· Find out if the area is flood-prone from the local authorities. 

· Understand the flood levels and learn about the history of flooding in the community. 

· Learn flood warning signs and community alert signals and know the terms used to 

describe flooding. 

3.2 During a Flood Watch 

· Listen to a battery-operated radio for the latest flood information. Fill buckets and other 

water containers with clean water in case water becomes contaminated. 

· Be aware of flash floods. Flash floods will rise faster and cut off the escape routes. If there 

is any possibility of a flash flood occurring, move immediately to higher ground. Do not 

wait for instructions to move. 

· Move valuable household possessions to the upper floors or to safe ground if time permits. 

3.3. During a Flood 

If Indoors: 

· Turn on battery-operated radio or television to get the latest emergency information. 

· Get your preassembled emergency supplies. 

· If told to leave, do so immediately. 

If Outdoors: 


· Climb to high ground and stay there. Avoid walking through any floodwaters. If it is 

moving swiftly, even shallow water can sweep you off your feet. 

· Do not allow children to play in flood waters 

If In A vehicle: 

· If travelling towards a flooded area, turn around and go another way. 

· If the vehicle stalls, abandon it immediately on the side of the road and climb to higher 

ground. Many deaths have resulted from attempts to move stalled vehicles. 

· If trapped in a vehicle that is going under water, get out of the submerged vehicle by 

opening a window or door and swimming to safety. 

3.4 After a Flood 

· Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. Listen to a radio or television 

and don't return home until authorities indicate it is safe to do so. 

· When entering buildings, use extreme caution. 

· Examine walls, floors, doors, and windows to make sure that the building is not in danger 

of collapsing. 

· Watch out for animals, especially poisonous snakes, that may have got into the house with 

the flood waters. Use a stick to poke through debris. 

· Watch for loose plaster and ceilings that could fall. 

· Throw away food that has come in contact with flood waters. 

· Remove water from the house to avoid structural damage. 

4 Epidemics : 

[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic response, 

epidemics demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below are the preparedness 

measures and responses which are specific to epidemics ]. 

Different epidemics will have different etymology and consequences. Water-borne, vectorborne 

or viral epidemics will need different levels of preparedness and response. Some 

epidemics may have a quick onset whereas others may take a longer time to spread. The 

public health department is primarily concerned with issuing the epidemic warning and 

declaring the areas as epidemic prone. 

4.1 After the warning 

· Understand the specific nature of the epidemic including the causation, nature of spread, 

symptoms and medication 

· Understand the specific precautionary and preventive measures to be taken by the family 

members. 

· Ensure intake of safe water and food. Take extra measures to protect food stocks. 


· Receive all recommended vaccinations, inoculations and encourage the neighbours to help 

health authorities to prevent spread of epidemics 

· Avoid stockpiling preventive medicines at family level. This may create a severe shortage 

of essential drugs. 

· Take extra-care in disposal of family waste and also assist in community efforts in disposal 

of waste 

· Keep in constant touch with epidemic information and public health staff in the area 

4.2 During the Epidemic 

· Report any symptoms to the health authorities immediately 

· Understand if there is a need for quarantine 

· Understand the nature of treatment and possible emergencies 

· Do not leave the epidemic area without a clearance from the health authorities 

· Report arrival of any guests from the epidemic area 

· Discourage relatives and friends from outside epidemic area to visit your areas 

· Understand the steps to be taken in the disposal of personnel belongings of the patient 

including disposal of excreta 

· Understand the procedure for disposal of the dead body of the epidemic victim 

5. Road Accidents : 

[In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic response, road 

accidents demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below are the preparedness 

measures and responses which are specific to road accidents]. 

Road Accidents are a major killer and take place without any warning. Accidents may 

involve passenger vehicles, goods vehicles, vehicles carrying hazardous and toxic materials. 

The damage therefore may involve injuries and deaths, chemical spills, fires or release of 

toxic gases. 

5.1 On accident event (involving passenger vehicle) 

Those at the accident site should follow the following priorities 

· Look for and rescue the injured or those trapped in the vehicles 

· Arrange for transport of the injured to the nearest medical care centre 

· Place the dead bodies on one side to avoid obstructions 

· Organise locally traffic control using the available manpower to avoid traffic jams 

Discourage people from crowding near the accident spot. 

· Discourage people from looting the goods from the accident vehicle. Arrange to inform the 

nearest traffic police post through passing vehicles on either side 

5.2 On accident event (involving hazardous and toxic elements) 

· Do not go anywhere near the accident spot unless the hazardous and toxic elements are 

properly understood and discourage others. The contents may explode or catch fire 

· Prevent people at the accident site from lighting of matches for cigarettes etc. 

· Discourage people from collecting the spills from the accident vehicle as the chemicals 

might be deceptive and lead to toxic exposure or explosions 

· Arrange to inform the nearest traffic police/fire brigade through passing vehicles 

· Identify the wind direction and move in the opposite direction 

· Do not allow any traffic congestion near the accident spot 


· Stop the traffic at a sufficient distance (at least half a kilometre) from the accident 

spot in all directions till the nature of chemicals is properly understood. 

10. DISSEMINATION OF DDMAP 

In order for the DDMAP to be effective it would be disseminated at two levels ; 

· to the district authorities, government departments, NGOs and other agencies and 

institutions within the district and 

· to general public. 

Effective dissemination of plan requires a well designed and focused training and awareness 

programmes. The responsibility for dissemination of the plan is vested with the District 

Disaster Manager, at the Collectorate, and training activities will be carried out under the 

guidance and direction of YASHADA, as well as through awareness programmes organised 

by each of the agencies participating in disaster management such as Irrigation Department 

organising warning and evacuation exercises or Fire Brigade demonstrating rescue 

operations. The District Disaster Manager would also involve NGOs in preparing suitable 

public awareness material to be distributed to the public. 

The training programmes will be organised for different levels of functionaries. The district 

level officials and identified NGOs, Private Sector organisations will receive the training at 

YASHADA under their Training of Trainers (TOT) programme in order to equip them to 

extend training facilities to functionaries at taluka and village level as well as organise 

simulation exercises within the community. Some of the select government training 

institutions at the district level will participate in such TOTs and undertake training 

programmes for government functionaries. Efforts will be therefore directed to decentralise 

training activity to the extent possible so as to enable YASHADA to serve as resource centre 

and provide training expertise to various groups. 

The materials for awareness programmes at community level would be prepared in the local 

language to ensure widespread dissemination. Media would be extensively used for public 

awareness programmes. These will include 

‣ Newspapers including local ones 

‣ TV 

‣ Local cable networks 

‣ Radio 

‣ Folk media 

‣ Publicity material 

Schools, colleges and other public institutions would be specifically targetted. 

In addition to dissemination of literature related to the DDMAP, disaster response drills 

should be conducted on a regular basis especially in the disaster prone areas to maintain the 

readiness of communities and departments as regards operational procedures, personnel and 

equipment and orderly response. 


Local agencies such as fire, police and ambulance staff would be familiar with the disasters 

possible in an area. Mutual aid organizations and public emergency response organizations 

would be included in these drills 

The objectives of full scale drill include evaluation of the following: 

· practicality of the plan (structure and organization) 

· adequacy of communications and interactions among agencies and the public 

· emergency equipment effectiveness 

· adequacy of first aid and rescue procedures 

· adequacy of emergency personnel response and training 

· public relations skills,evacuation and count procedures. 

Plan Evaluation : 

The purpose of evaluation of DDMAP is to determine 

· the adequacy of resources 

· coordination between various agencies 

· community participation 

· partnership with NGOs 

The ease of understanding and using the plan will also be important considerations. 

The plan will be updated when shortcomings are observed in 

· organizational structures 

· technological changes render information obsolete; 

· response mechanism following reports on drills or exercises; 

· assignments of state agencies. 

Adaptation, improvisation and optimisation are corner stones of any planning pertaining to 

disasters. It must be emphasized that the Documents or Manuals prepared as disaster 

management plan have a limited purpose. These can at best serve as reminder of tasks and 

activities. 


Individuals and agencies assigned specific responsibilities within this Plan will prepare 

appropriate supporting plans and related standard operating procedures, periodically review 

and update alerting procedures and resource listings, and maintain an acceptable level of 

preparedness. 

The DDMAP would be evaluated by both the district and the state. 

Post-Disaster Evaluation : 

A post-incident evaluation would be done after the withdrawal of relief and rehabilitation 

activities in order to assess 

· the nature of state intervention and support, 

· suitability of the organization structure, 

· institutional arrangements, 

· adequacy of Operating Procedures, 

· monitoring mechanisms, 

· information tools, 

· equipment, 

· communication system, etc., 

The impact studies on the above operations for long-term preventive and mitigation efforts 

are also to be undertaken. 

At the community level, evaluation exercises may be undertaken to assess the reactions of 

the community members at various stages in the disaster management cycle and to 

understand their perceptions about disaster response in terms of 

· adequacy of training, 

· alert and warning systems, 

· control room functions, 

· communication plans, 

· security, 

· containment 

· recovery procedures, 


· monitoring 

Plan Update : 

The DDMAP is a “living document” and the Collector along with other departments update 

it every year taking into consideration 

· the resource requirements, 

· updates on human resources 

· technology to be used 

· coordination issues 

An annual conference for DMAP update will be organised by the Collector. All concerned 

departments and agencies would participate and give recommendations on specific issues. 

The following guidelines would be adhered to while updating the DDMAP : 

· A procedure, would be in place to update the plan on a regular basis to ensure that the 

items requiring updation are considered and are current. 

· When an amendment is made to a plan, the amendment date would be noted on the updated 

page of the plan. 

· A senior official in every agency would be designated to ensure that all plan-holders are 

notified of changes as soon as possible. Plan-holders would be requested to verify that they 

have received the changes.
