DISTRICT
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
PLAN
OF
JORHAT, 2011
DESIGNED & PREPARED BY
D.M. BRANCH OF D.C.’s OFFICE, JORHAT

Preface
The District Disaster Management Plan (DDPM), Jorhat is a
comprehensive document of District profile and the battery of activities
and functions of the district administration along with other members
of District Disaster Management Teams(DDMT),to cope with any
disaster that may visit the district. The district Disaster management
Plan (DDMP) has highlighted a set of guidelines for some particular
government departments who are the first responders before, during
and after a disaster.
In addition to this, the other Govt. Departments /Local urban
bodies/Private agencies/NGO will be directed by the District Disaster
Management Authority (DDMA), Jorhat to perform functions as
situation demands. However, I believe, this DDMP will act as a handy
reference literature for the officers and members of the public.
I am thankful to all the line departments and other organizations
that extended help and assistance in preparation of this plan.
Deputy Commissioner
Jorhat

CHAPTER–I
MULTI-HAZARD DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
1.1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT – WHY IS IT?
Natural Disaster is a part of our earth so we can neither avoid it nor it is
possible to prevent natural disaster all together.
But its effects can be reduced through systematic approach by Disaster
Management initiatives. It can be an effective tool for saving vulnerable
human lives and mitigation of human misery.
1.2 INTRODUCTION – CONCEPT OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT.
Disaster Management
The word disaster is coming from a French word Desastre meaning
bad or evil star. However, this is a very narrow concept of disaster and in our
context, any disaster means a situation in which there is a sudden disruption
of normalcy within a society causing wide spread damage to life and property.
Typology of Disaster
A disaster can either natural (Rain, Flood, Cyclone, Storm, Land slide,
Earthquake and Volcanoes) or man made [War, including biological, Arson,
Sabotage, Riots Accident (train, air, ship) industrial accidents, Fires (forest
fires), bomb explosions, nuclear explosion and ecological disasters].
Pre- independence, drought and famines were the biggest killer in
India. The situation change due to a combination of factors like irrigation
development, food security measures, floods, cyclones, droughts, landslides,
7

avalanches and earthquakes are some of the major natural disaster that
repeatedly and increasingly affect the country.
8

Vulnerability
Vulnerability is define as the extent to which a community, structure,
service or geographic area is likely to be damaged or disrupted by the impact
of particular hazard on account of their nature, construction and proximity to
hazardous terrain or a disaster prone area. In 1989, the General Assembly of
the United Nations proclaimed the decades 1999-2000 as the International
decade for natural disaster reduction (IDNDR). At the World Conformance on
Natural Disaster Reduction in the city of Yokohoma, Japan in 1994, deep
concern was expressed at the continuing human suffering and disruption of
development due to natural disaster and a Yokohama Strategy and plan of
action for a safe world was developed. It is not possible to go away from the
devastation due to natural hazards completely. However, destruction from
natural hazards can be minimized by the presence of well-functioning warning
system, combined with preparedness on the part of the vulnerable
communality. Disaster Management may be seen as a part of good
governance.
1.3 BASIC CONCEPTS OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT :
The basic concept suggests that the same management strategies can
be applied to all emergences. Emergences do not just appear one day, rather
they exist throughout times and have life cycle of occurrence, and hence the
management strategy should match the phases of an emergency in order to
mitigate, prepare, respond, and recovery from its effect. There are four
phases in emergency management: Mitigation, Preparedness, Responds, and
Recovery. The four phases are visualized as having a circular relationship to
each other (Fig.1 Emergency Management Circle). The activities in one phase
may overleap those in the previous one.
1.4 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CYCLE :
Mitigation refers to activities which actually eliminate or reduce the
vulnerability or chance of occurrence or the effects of a disaster. Mitigation
phase begins with conducting hazards identification and vulnerability analysis
which are essential to the planning of all other phases. Hazards identifications
9

and vulnerability analysis is two steps process. First the hazard is identified
which has the potential of affecting the population. Secondly, how people,
property and structure will be affected by the disastrous event.
Preparedness is a state of being ready to react promptly effectively in
the event of an emergency. Being prepared means that a plan of action exists
for an emergency so that it is clear as to what to do before the emergency
occurs. Preparedness measures to be undertaken depend upon the analysis
of hazard severity and vulnerability, which is also the basis for deciding
mitigation strategy. In some cases, such as flood, hurricane, an early warning
gives several hours to act. However, often no prior warning of an impending
emergency such as with earth quakes, tornados, explosion, major fires is
possible. Preparedness for any emergency, especially those, which strike
without notice, requires a plan. It is essential to identify the resources
available, and ways to utilized them. It must also be reasonably certain that
the plan will work in an emergency situation.
Response Phase :
The basic five stages of response to any emergency or disaster are–
1. Warning
2. Immediate Public Safety
3. Property Security
4. Public Welfare and
5. Restoration
Recovery Phase :
The final phase of disaster management is recovery, both short term
and long term efforts. Short term recovery is the restoration of vital services
and facilities to minimum standards of operation and safety. Long term
recovery efforts may continue many years as the society slowly return to the
pre-emergency for better conditions.

FIG.1 : PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT CIRCLE
1.5 DISASTER AND ITS CHALLENGES :
Along with perennial floods, Earth quake pose a possible threat ,
particularly due to the fact that its time, location and magnitude can’t be
accurately predicted. Moreover, entire North East region of India is located in
a seismically active zone(zone-v). The region has been witness to several
violent earthquakes in the past.
Challenges created by disasters particularly by the natural disaster
such as flood, cyclones and high intensity earth quake are –
• To rescue and evacuate trapped people
• To provide first Aid to the injured people.
• To make care of children, woman and disable people.
• To transfer the seriously injured and people needing urgent medical
attention to hospitals.
• To restore communication network and essential services.
• To clear debris, blocking roads and communication network.
• To provide shelter and relief to homeless people.
• To arrange for food and drinking water to the affected people.
11

• To take immediate measures for disposal of death bodies and animals
carcass to prevent the outbreak of epidemics.
• To take urgent measures for maintaining low and order.
• To take people to safer places in case of change of course of river due
to flood.
It is a fact that natural disasters cannot be avoided and prevented, but
only by our sincere efforts we can mitigate it through advance preparedness.
Preparedness means development, rehabilitation, restoration on one side and
mitigation, rescue and relief on other side.
1.6 NATURAL DISASTER IN ASSAM, A BRIEF RETROSPECTION AND
CURRENT VULNERABILITY :
The North Eastern region of India comprising of eight states mainly
Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Monipur, Nagaland, Tripura and Arunachal
Pradesh and Sikkim is bordered by the countries of Bhutan, China,
Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The entire region is one of the most multi hazard prone region in the
Asian Continent with different areas are being prone to different hazard like
Earth quake, flood, Landslides and cyclonic storm etc. The rivers
Brahmaputra and Barak drain the region. The Brahmaputra river has a
catchments area of 5,80,000 sq KM in Tibet , Bhutan, India and Bangladesh
and in terms of discharge it is the third largest river in the world , in terms of
sediment load it is second after the yellow river of China .The river flows for
length of 918 km in India of which 720 km flows through the plains of Assam .
In this valley about 20 major tributaries on its North Bank and about 30 on its
South bank join the river Brahmaputra. The precipitation here is mainly due to
South West Monsoon. Heavy rainfall occurs from May to September. Average
annual rainfall in the region is very high and ranges from 1750 mm in the
plains to about 6400 mm in the hills.
These huge volume of water rushes through the narrow bowl shaped
valley of Assam to the Bay of Bengal ravaging the area through flood and land
erosion. The recurring floods on an average devastate about 20% of total
area of the plain districts of the state of Assam and in the High floods years
the devastation has been recorded to be as high as 67%.
12

The region lies at the junction of the Himalayans arc to North and
Burmese arc to East and is one of the six most seismically active regions of
the world. The entire region falls in zone V, the most vulnerable seismic zone.
Twelve major earth quakes have occurred in the region in the last 100 years
of which the devastating earth quake of 1897 in the Shillong plateau and in
1950 in upper Assam have been recorded as two of the Largest earth quakes
in the country. Under the gap theory for prediction of earth quake it is
forecasted that the region is likely to witness a major earth quake in the very
near future.
The monsoon in the region normally commences around the month of
April & May and is active till the end of October. The pre-monsoon period is
often marked by severe cyclonic storms and hail storms .The annual cyclonic
depression in the Bay of Bengal along the coast of Bangladesh cause severe
storm to hit the bordering state of Meghalaya and Tripura .
Considerable variation in the precipitation during a particular
month/period at a given place has also been observed and these variation
result in drought like situation in many parts of the region .Continued
deforestation and demand for more and more agricultural land has also lead
to destabilization of hill slopes in many states, which during the monsoon
come down as landslides .Unscientific mining in the states have also rendered
many a hill side vulnerable to cave –ins and landslides.
Experiences of the earlier earth quakes in the region have led people
here to construct flexible and sufficiently earth quake proof houses popularly
known as “Assam Type” (Nandi 1999). The scenario has changed now and
these houses have paved the way for multistory masonry buildings particularly
in the capital towns of all the seven states of the region .If the present trend of
construction and population growth continues , the earth quake of magnitude
>7.5 will bring enormous damages to properties and great loss of lives .In this
context, it is therefore important for the administrative agencies to reflect and
plan for strict enforcement of proper building codes and appropriate land use
policy in the region .The vulnerability to natural disasters combine with Socio
Economic vulnerability of the people living in these states poses a great
challenges for the govt. machineries and under scores the need for a
comprehensive plan for disaster preparedness and mitigation .Training and
capacity building of the officials dealing with emergency situations would be
an important instrument of disaster reduction and recovery.

1.7 FORMULATION AND PREPARATION OF DISTRICT DISASTER
MANAGEMENT PLAN:
The district disaster management plan of Jorhat, hereafter referred as
the plan which is a multi hazard disaster management plan that assists and
equips the district administration to organize its emergency preparedness for
the pre, during and post disaster, so that response and mitigation functions
timely and in an efficient manner within the district and also to extend the
necessary support to the state and central government. The district disaster
management plan includes the facts and figures that have been collected
from various official and informal sources with a view to meeting the
challenges during any natural disaster.
Collection and classification of data are to be updated twice in May and
November every year. The plan has been prepared with the following
viewpoints.
1. Contingency plan is a continuous process.
2. All are not equal in a crisis situation, giving emphasis on special
vulnerable groups like economically weaker, sick and ailing, pregnant
and lactating mother, old aged etc.
3. During relief measures social auditing ensures transparency.
4. Involvement of women is a must in the entice process.
5. Mitigation plan reflecting need based approaches from the grassroots
level.
6. Well defined preparedness and response plan for the entire district.
1.8 OBJECTIVE:
The objectives behind the preparation of the District Disaster
Management plan are:
1. To mitigate impact of natural and man-made disasters through
preparedness at district level, blocks, Gram Panchayat and Village
level.
2. To provide effective support and resources to all the concerned
individuals, groups and departments during disasters.
15

3. To assist the line department, block administration, communities in
developing compatible skills for disaster management.
4. To disseminate factual information in timely, accurate and tactful
manner while maintaining necessary confidentiality.
5. To develop immediate and long term support plans for vulnerable
people in/during disaster.
6. To create awareness among the people about hazard occurrences and
increase their participation and preparedness, prevention,
development, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction process.
7. To have response system in place, to face any eventuality.
1.9 NECESSITY OF THE PLAN:
The plan establishes an administrative structure for a systematic,
coordinated and effective response at the district level. The purpose of the
plan is to –
� Define a system of coordination at the district level.
� Identify all the responder agencies at the district level, and assign
functional responsibilities to each of them.
� Establishment a central facility in the district, which enables all the
responder’s agencies to interact and coordinate their efforts.
� Suggest hazard specific preparedness, response and mitigation
measures.
� Plan resource requirements and coordinate with state government for
requisitioning more resources.
� Provide an inventory of resources, key facilities and addresses for
deployment and assistance towards preparedness and mitigation.
Responding to an urgent call of society to change the parading from
the traditional practice of giving relief towards reducing the risk of disaster, the
govt. is emphasizing that at all level, administrations primary role should be
the preparedness, mitigation, reduction and response of a disaster based on
community participation.

1.10 OVERVIEW OF THE DISTRICT:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT :
The name of Jorhat comes from ‘Jor’ which means pair and ‘HAT’
which means market which can be traced back to the fact that during Ahom
Role there existed two market namely CHOWKIHAT and MACHARHAR
towards the northern side of present day Jorhat.
During 18 th Century, Jorhat was the last capital of the Ahom Kingdom.
In the 1794 the Ahom King Gourinath Singha shifted the capital from
Sivasagar (erstwhile Rongpur) to Jorhat. This town was a flourishing
commercial metropolis but was completely destroyed after a series of the
Burmese invation since 1817 till the arrival of the British in the year 1824
under the Stewardship of David Scot and Captain Richard.
The freedom movement of India in Assam was spearheaded by two of
its illustrious sons namely Moniram Dewan and Piyali Phukan who were from
Jorhat and had may their supreme sacrifice for the noble cause.
The old Sivasagar with administrative headquarter at Jorhat was
balkanized into Golaghat, and Sivasagar district subsequently in 1983.The
river Bhogdoi passes through the Jorhat while the river Jhanji and Kakodonga
flows on its eastern and western boundary respectively.
Today the city of Jorhat is the second most important city of Assam
hence occupy an important place in the field of education, culture, etc. It can
boast of one Agricultural University, an Engineering College, a Medical
College, North East Institute of Science & Technology, Jorhat Institute of
Technology, Tea Research Centre, Muga Research Centre and of the world
famous Majuli, which has been declared as the largest river iland. The Majuli
is doted with many Satras like Auniati Satra, Dakhinpat Satra, Kamalabari
Satra and has been the principle place of pilgrimage of Vaishnavisties since
the ages of Ahom rules.
National Highway 37 connected Jorhat with the rest of the country and
N.F. Railway connected via Mariani Junction and Jorhat Town.

4.4 FLOOD HAZARD ASSESSMENT :
4.4.1 CAUSES OF FLOODS IN JORHAT DISTRICT :
The causes of flood in Jorhat District are due to excessive rainfall in
Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, melting of snow at Tibet etc.
During flood the rivers get charged with enormous quantity of silt and in their
movement the rivers alter the condition of flow and sometime changes the
river courses causing untold miseries to the people living in its low line basin,
making the district vulnerable to annual flooding.
After the great earthquake 1950 the river bed of Brahmaputra is rising
continuously due to disposition of sand carried down from the up stream. This
has also lead to the formation of saucer shaped low lying zone in the plain of
the district.
Unscientific human encroachment and settlement in different flood
plain areas is a another cause of flooding in Jorhat district.
Destruction of forest cover in upper catchment areas of all rivers mainly
in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland is also a leading cause of flooding in
Jorhat district.
4.4.2 FLOOD PRONE AREAS :
A) JORHAT AND TITABOR SUB-DIVISION :-
A large number of tributaries of the river Brahmaputra such as Jhanji,
Teok, Mudaijan, Tepaijan kokila, Bhogdoi, Bekajan, Toklai, Tarajan,
Kakodonga, etc. forms a network of waterways in this sub-division. During
flood season those tributaries/rivulets which are flowing from Nagaland to
Brahmaputra are inflated with rain water every year. Most of these rivers
/rivulets don’t have dykes and those such as Jhanji and Bhogdoi which have
embankments has opening at the mouth. Hence during floods the water level
of Brahmaputra flows back through these rivers inundating most of the areas
of the district on the Northern side of NH 37. In Southern side of the NH flood
normally occurs at the adjacent areas of river Kakodunga in both Jorhat and
Titabar Sub-division. Many areas are also affected by swelling waters of
rivulets like Teremerijan , Bekajan, Kachajan,etc during the flood season.
35

serious damages to the flood embankments in 2010
B) MAJULI SUB-DIVISION
Acknowledge as one of the largest river island of the world, Majuli
earlier known as “Majali” is situated between 26 0 45 / North to 27 0 12 / North
Latitude and 93 0 39 / East to 94 0 35 / East Longitute. Towards its North lie the
North Lakhimpur and Dhemaji District, Sivasagar and Jorhat District lie
towards its East, Golaghat is to the South of Majuli and Nagaon and Sonitpur
District lie towards its West. Majuli is situated in the upper reaches of the
Brahmaputra. Before 1950 the total area of Majuli was 1256 Sq.KM.
Continuous erosion since has resulted in depletion of its size to 552.65 Sq.KM
in 1998, according to the National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA). Inland
Water Transport is the main form of communication with the other parts of the
state. Road communication to Dhokuwakhana of Lakhimpur District is
restored only in the winter season, and that to via the embankment through
the North-East corner of Majuli.
Every year whether there in flood in Assam or not, the Majuli Sub-
Division is always affected by floods, forcing people to take shelter in roads
and higher land.
The Cultural and National uniqueness of Majuli’s heritage is presently
undergoing scrutiny and consideration for declaring it as World Heritage site
as cultural landscape by UNESCO.

CHAPTER–V
MITIGATION PLAN
Pre-disaster planning consists of activities such as disaster mitigation
and disaster preparedness. Disaster mitigation focuses on the hazard that
causes the disaster and tries to eliminate or drastically reduce its effects. The
best example of mitigation is the construction of embankments and
construction of proper drainage system in flood prone areas to avoid floods.
The other example includes retrofitting of weak buildings to make them
earthquake resistant.
Preparedness focuses on plans to respond to a disaster threat or
occurrence. It takes into account an estimation of emergency needs and
identifies the resources to meet the needs. The first objective of the
preparedness is to reduce the disaster impact through appropriate actions
and improve the capacity of those who are likely to be affected most. The
second is to ensure that ongoing development continues to improve the
capacities and capabilities of the system to strengthen preparedness efforts at
community level. Finally it guides reconstruction so as to ensure reduction in
vulnerability. The best example of preparedness activities are the
development of community awareness and sensitization system through
community education and administrative preparedness by way of stockpiling
of supplies, developing emergency plans for rescue and relief.
5.1 SPECIFIC DISASTER MITIGATION MEASURES :
5.1.1 EARTHQUAKES MITIGATION :
Jorhat district falls under earthquake zone-V so following mitigation
measures should be taken to reduced the impact of earthquake :
• Adoption of building codes for new construction in various areas.
• Public utility buildings must be located in stable areas or stiff soil.
• Retrofitting of weak structures.
• Relocation of people settling in the steep slope areas and near the
river bank.
43

5.1.2 FLOOD MITIGATION:
Flood mitigation refers to the measures aimed at prevention and
preparedness. It reduces the actual or probable impact of floods on the
people and their environment.
The objective of flood mitigation is to control changes in the volume of
run-off, peak stage of the flood, time of rise and duration of floodwaters, and
location of flooding.
The mitigation measures should be oriented to take proper care of
these problems and thus will automatically reduce the impact of flood in the
district. The various measures adopted for flood mitigation may be
categorized in two groups structural and non-structural.
Structural
• Construction of embankments/floodwalls along the river bank and
improvement of the channel (by WRD).
• Construction of drainage system in the Jorhat town and other parts
of the district (by PWD/UD).
• Diversion of flood water (by WRD).
• Careful location of new facilities, particularly community facilities
Non-structural
such as schools, hospitals and other important infrastructure away
from flood prone areas.
• Collection of daily rainfall data (by WRD).
• Flood forecasting and warning (by WRD & General Administration).
• Prepare detailed floodplain map of the district, based on extent of
land submerged, and assessment of damages. Analyze how the
pattern of flooding has changed over a period of time (by WRD &
GA).
• Plantation in the catchment areas to check soil erosion (by forest
dept),
• Preparation of DDMP and awareness programme.
44

5.1.3 CYCLONIC STORM:
Jorhat district is frequently strike by cyclonic storm during pre-monsoon
season causing widespread damage to the crop and other properties. The
main mitigation strategies for storm hazards are a well informed public and an
effective warning system. The following mitigation measures can be adopted
to reduce the impact of cyclonic storm.
• Location of key facilities in leeward sides of hill/less vulnerable
areas (by District Administration and Land Management).
• Planting wind breaks in the most vulnerable locations (by DFO).
• Construction of strong wind safe public buildings which can be
used for community shelter in settlements (by UD & PWD).
• Crops can be protected by introducing agricultural practices and
cultivation of those crops which are more resistant to high winds.
• Compilation of meteorological data for forecasting of storm (by
Deptt. concerned).
• Public dissemination of information through mass media, poster
campaigns and village meetings (by Dist. Administration).
5.1.4 FIRE ACCIDENT MITIGATION :
accident:
The following mitigation measures may be taken up to contain fire
• Installation of fire extinguisher cylinders in all institutions (by
concerned institute).
• Construction of fire hydrant in fire prone areas (by
PHED/Police/DA).
• Installation of fire warning systems in community facilities such as
in school and hospitals (by concerned institute).
• No attachment of thatch houses in govt. buildings (by DA).
• Awareness about the causes of fire accident in rural areas and
motivate the villagers to construct their houses at sufficient
distance from one another (by DA).
45

5.1.5 EPIDEMICS :
The Health Department and veterinary Department are the nodal
agency responsible for monitoring and control of epidemics. Mitigation
measures for control of epidemics would include:–
� Identification of areas prone to certain epidemics must be updated
to access field requirements (by DMO & DVO).
� Testing laboratories in district hospital must be well equipped and
updated (by DMO).
� Regular flow of data from both govt. establishment and NGOs run
hospitals (by DA).
� Analyzing and collating the data at regular intervals to access
epidemiological monitoring requirements (by DMO/DVO).
� Awareness campaign to the PRI members and the villagers about
various kinds of disease and their causes that are prevalent in the
area (by DMO/DVO/DA).
5.1.6 ROAD ACCIDENTS :
Many lives were lost and causalities are reported annually due to road
accident, which is cause due to reckless driving and poor road
conditions. The following measures may be adopted to mitigate road
accidents: -
� Opening of traffic model school in every district.
� Installation of speed monitoring machine in busy areas (by police).
� Strict implementation of motor vehicle Act (by Police).
� Installation of traffic sign boards (by Police).
� Carry of First Aid Box in every vehicle must be made mandatory (by
Police/DTO (transport).
� Insurance of all vehicles must be updated (by Police).
� Awareness about traffic rules should be imparted to all drivers and
commuters through IEC (by police).
