CHAPTER-VI

 

PREVENTION AND RESPONSE STRATEGIES

 

Prevention is always better than cure. All the measures required to be taken Pre/before flood (anticipatory stage), during the floods (concurrent stage) and after floods (post disaster stage) are incorporated into the integrated contingency plan which clearly specify details of the mechanism of coordination, monitoring and supervision of both prevention, rescue and relief operation. Analysis of vulnerability and classification of areas with reference to degrees of risks faced by the flood prone areas are tasks which should precede the preparation of the Contingency Plan which has to be tailored to meet the nature and magnitude of flood risk.

 

In the case of floods, the management during the various phases falls within the purview of many Departments. These Departments are required to prepare a contingency plan spelling out clearly the arrangements for drafting additional personnel, their deployment, and the chain of command, stock-pilling of supplies and monitoring. The flood prone area has to be divided into convenient administrative units and the staff deployment and stocking of supplies and equipments has to be done with reference to those units.

 

Issue of flood warning, protection of embankments guarding of weak and vulnerable points on various embankments and prompt closure of breaches etc. are among the major strategies of the Irrigation Department. Restoration of roads and salvaging of structures affected by floods have to be attended to by the public works Department, Public Health Department has to organize clearance of debris, disposal of corpses and carcasses. Its plan should also provide for prompt provision and repair of drinking water tube wells and supply of protected water to the people in the flood affected areas and also in the areas where temporary shelters are set up to accommodate people evacuated, rescued from flood affected areas as well as in marooned areas.

 

People in the flood-affected areas have to be immunized from water borne and other diseases. The water sources have to be disinfected. The person responsible for undertaking these works should be earmarked in advance and plans for constitution of mobile teams and establishment of field hospitals finalized.

 

The health of cattle in the flood-affected areas is equally important. Provision of fodder, treatment of cattle and prophylactic measures are the important items that should figure in the Contingent Plan of the Animal Husbandry Department.

 

The immediate responsibility of Agriculture Department is to maintain necessary stocks of seeds and other imputes.

 

The tasks generally assigned to Department of Relief, Rehab & Disaster Management and District Food & Civil Supply agencies include advance stocking of food grains and other essential consumer’s articles and building materials etc. in areas, which are likely to be cut off by flood. Request for Air Service through sorties be positioned well before the occurrence of flood, selection of elevated sites and temporary shelters for accommodation of affected people who are to be evacuated or rescued and provisions of temporary shelters for these persons, supply of food, clothes, utensils etc. to flood victims, assessment of house damages and distribution of grants for repair and reconstruction of houses and general assessment of the ever all damage.

 

The services of Police, Home Guards, National Cadet Corps and members of National Service scheme etc., are mobilized for rescue and relief operation. In the case of major flood or other major disasters help of Army, Navy and Air Force is available for rescue and relief operation and air dropping of essential supplies. They have to be trained properly to stay ever ready for immediate response to such events

 

Training is also necessary for the people and local leaders so that they can respond to the disaster situation in an appropriate manner.

 

Following factors must be put together to minimize loss of lives, livelihood and property in disaster:

1.Event Prediction

2.Warning

3.Risk Avoidance Action

4.Hardware

5.District Disaster Management Plan or District Contingency Plan

6.Activation of the Plan

Low Land: -If partially damaged, do gap filling and follow recommendation No.2 above. If completely damaged, re-transplant.

August-September flood: -If flood occurs during mid August to early September,

 

1.                  After recesation of flood transplant with older seedlings of 40-65 days old.

2.                  If older seedlings are not available, transplant by clonal propagation (detached tillers of old plants).

3.                  Fertilize moderately wherever possible

4.                  In lower tracts where there is possibility of further damage due to re-occurrence of flood, do not transplant.

 

Fertilizer applications:

1.      Reduce Nitrogen application.

2.      Increase phosphatic and potassic application.

3.      Apply fertilizer to beushaned paddy crop if not already done.

4.      Top-dress paddy crop with potash including affected areas.

5.      Apply phosphoric fertilizer to all broadcasted paddy at the time of sowing to induce flood resistance of the crop.

Pests:

Careful watch has to be ensured on pests and Diseases incidence on crop sown after flood receded. Advance stocking of pesticides and fungicides should be made in endemic areas with some sprayers and dusters for community approach to combat the rest & Diseases.

Field staffs should be kept alert during contingent situation to move about the affected areas, advice to farmers to protect the crop.

In flood affected blocks especially in low lands early sowing/broadcasting of paddy is advocated with higher seed rate of paddy from 2nd fortnight of May onwards availing early monsoon rain so that paddy plants may resist early flood if any.

Sufficient stock of Nitrogenous, phosphatic and potassic fertilizers have been kept with the private Fertilizer Dealers and approximant the requirement of the farmers. Sufficient pesticides are available with pesticide dealers both private and govt. to meet the urgent need of the farmers

6.5.3       Problem of Sand cast Lands:

 

By the action of floods, hundred of acres of cultivated lands become sand-cast almost every year. Roughly 25 % of such areas are considered fit for reclamation and alter to land use. Generally, the cultivator ploughs back the sand in his land if the sand thickness is of more than 6 inches. If it is more than one foot, it becomes uneconomic for the cultivator to remove the sand. On such lands horticultural programmes like plantation activities of economic value should be undertaken. Subsidy uniform rate of Rs.2500/-(Two thousand and five hundred only) per Hectare should be paid to the beneficiaries for reclamation of the lands sand cast due to the floods with a depth of more than 6(six) inches.

 

6.5.4       Housing and Rehabilitation

 

Ø       House damage in the wake of high floods in the rural areas present a serious problem. As these houses are generally mud built with thatched roof, the worst sufferers are the economically backward people who normally reside in low-lying areas of these villages. Rehabilitations schemes are undertaken to provide housing to as many people as possible after a devastating flood. Such houses are either to be located on the land allotted in pursuance of section 88 or on the original site by elevating it above high flood level.

Ø       The Circle Officers, DRRO and Field Officer, (DRM) may visit the sites suitable for housing purposes in a village during normal times and if the people living in low lying areas are willing to shift to new sites proposed to be given under section 88 of Relief Code, they can obtain their willingness in writing and furnish such lists to the ADC/EAC and the Deputy Commissioner. A register for this purpose may be maintained for future use in office of all concerned Administrative Officers.

Ø       The houses shall be built according to the requirement of beneficiaries and their pattern of living subject to financial limitation. The people must involve them selves in the housing programme.

Ø       For this purpose, facilities available under Indira Awaas Yojana, or other Schemes run by DRDA etc. should be availed of.

 

6.5.5       Restoration

6.5.5.1 Restoration Programme

 

The restoration programme may involve two stages of works. In the first stage some repairs are immediately necessary to avoid further deterioration for making the works worthy for immediate use. Restoration of communication power supply, hospital facilities, water and sanitary arrangements are some of the programme, which may come under this category. The concerned departments of government may lay down priorities in the restoration programme having regard to the necessary and availability of funds.

 

6.5.5.2 Restoration Work
