Disaster Management Plan 2011-12 of Cuttack District

FOREWORD
The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) has been prepared basing on the past experiences and its aim is
to take immediate measure in the event of any natural or man-made disaster during the year 2011-2012. The DDMP
includes the facts and figures that have been collected from various sources with a view to meet the challenges during
any Natural Disaster. While formulating the District Disaster Management Plan instruction of Special Relief Commissioner,
MD, OSDMA, and also valuable suggestions of Members of the Natural Calamity Committee, have been taken into
account.
The plan deals with Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis, identification of Disaster Prone Areas, Response
Structures, Inventory of Resources, Standard operating procedures, Directory of Institutions and key individuals, etc.
It is suggested that the District level Officials who are in-charge of different departments will carefully go through
the DDMP and remain alert to countenance emergent situations that may arise at any time. The DDMP seeks to serve as
a useful handbook of operational guidelines for the Officers of the District Administration. It is expected that Field Officers
working in Cuttack District in the Department of Revenue, Agriculture, Panchayat Raj, Health, Veterinary, Animal
Resource Development, Irrigation and other Departments will meticulously acquaint themselves with these guidelines and
also the relevant provisions of Orissa Relief Code. A word of caution may be mentioned, the plans are useful and of
immense utility only if they are updated and practised through intensive mock exercises and simulations.
