FOREWARD
I am pleased to present the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) of Ferozepur District. As we
all know that Disaster management has become an Act now in the country and the Government has
decided to make serious efforts to mitigate and manage disasters. The Disaster Management Act, 2005
stipulates to put in place Disaster Management Plans aimed at reducing potential loss of life and
property in disasters as well as ensuring strong preparedness, responses and recovery measures to
manage any disaster situation. Disasters either natural or manmade have been main hurdles in the
development of civilization since ages and affect humanity on long term basis.
Natural disasters like landslides, flash floods, cloud bursts, forest fires, etc. affect life and
environment. Past experiences in Ferozepur District shows that each disaster situation throws up a new
set of challenges which the Government agencies have to deal with.
This plan has been prepared as per the guidance provided by the National Disaster Management
Authority & State Disaster Management Authority and mandates the roles and functions to be played
by the District Disaster Management Authority. Disaster Management, by its very nature, requires a
multidisciplinary approach and hence, a strong coordination mechanism forms the core of successful
management. This plan outlines the functions of the principal coordination aimed namely the
Ferozepur District Disaster Management Authority and the support functions to be performed by the
line departments as well as the SDMA. However District Disaster Management Authority functions
are listed out for the line departments. Regular updating of this DDMP shall help to initiate real time
management. As such, each line department requires preparing its own Disaster Management Plan in
alignment with this plan. This plan shall he reviewed periodically by the DDMA to update all
activities and information. A training plan has been prepared to enhance capacities of all departments
for effective management of disasters.
I take this opportunity to thank Sh. Manashvi Kumar, IAS, Chief Secretary cum Director
Disaster Management Department, Govt. of Punjab, for giving the responsibility to update the
District Disaster Management Plan 2018. Throughout the process, his guidance, cooperation
and suggestions helped us. I extend my thanks to Sh. B.S. Dhaliwal, IAS, Deputy
Commissioner, Ferozepur. I also extend my thanks to Sh. Manjeet Singh D.R.O.
Ferozepur, Sh. Naresh Handa Superintendent Revenue, Sh. Amrik Beri, Sr. Assistant
DRAT Branch and Sh. Rajneesh Kumar (Computer Faculty) , Govt.Sr.Sec.School
Mamdot ( Boys) and all other line department who helped me throughout the process.
Preparing the draft Ferozepur District Disaster Management Plan requires tremendous effort,
time and dedication. Material, Data and literatures are rare. Still, the work has to be carried
out from whatever material and time available.
Mistakes, errors, omissions, unnecessary repetitions etc are bound to happen. Any suggestions
for addition and cancellation, criticisms, corrections and advices are welcome.

Although common man is not so familiar with the term disaster management; they are
much aware of certain phenomenon like Earthquake, Flood, and Drought and now
even Tsunami. Since time immemorial India is highly prone to natural calamities.
Today, from Kanyakumari to Himalayas, India doesn’t have any region exempted
from one or another kind of disaster.
The Ferozepur district is highly populated district. Ferozepur District has an area
5258.994 sq km as supplied by the Surveyor General of India. Out of this area 5166.72
sq km is rural whereas the remaining 92.27 is urban. According to Census of India
2001 Ferozepur district has a population of 9, 66,557 comprising 510870 males and
455687 females.
Flood is the major disaster in the district. The rural area of the district is highly
affected from the Flood as compare to other disasters. The villages that lie on the beds
of Sutlej River are severely affected to Flood. According to data, the 53.5% area of the
District is prone to Flood. So in this situation vulnerability assessment of flood is very
important to minimize the damage. The district Ferozepur fall in Zone III on the
seismic scale corresponding the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensit) VIII making it
prone to earthquake and it may lead to, major, damage in the district. The possible
percentage of buildings likely to be damaged is 20-30 percent depending upon the
number of stories. The deaths are likely to occur can be in the range of 2000-5000 and
number of casualties can be 25000, even when estimated conservatively. As district
Ferozepur falls within the seismic Zone III, therefore earthquake disaster of high
intensity, May occurred in this district and the possibility of such disaster is rather
remote in future. But at the same time, large scale erosion by the rivers resulting into
floods and collapsing of dilapidated building especially during the rainy season cannot
be ruled out.
The efforts to prepare a document like this -The District Disaster Management Plan for
Ferozepur- received inspiration from such a scenario. The objective of this document
is to introduce the unique and tested method of disaster management in district
Ferozepur. Replacing the well-known traditional methods of disaster management, one
The Incident Command System of Ferozepur District is the higher authority during a
disaster. The Incident command system is a pre-designed system, which is activated
only in time of disaster and its roles, get over as soon as the rehabilitation is
completed. There are Crisis Management Groups and three Working Groups under the
Incident Commander cum Deputy Commissioner North East with key players to look
after day-to-day disaster management activities during an emergency. Also there are
11 Emergency Support Functions with one nodal agency and a couple of supporting
agencies to look after disaster management, in the new set up.
The District Disaster Management Plan for Ferozepur is a combination of modern
participatory approach. This document has been designed in two volumes in which the
first volume contains Seven Chapters where as the second volume is dedicated for
annexure and additional information.
Certain most important concepts and approaches like significance of a District Disaster
Management Plan for Ferozepur as well as detailed profile of the district are coming in
the first two chapters. The vulnerability and hazard situation and capacity available to
face a disaster are elaborately described in the third chapter. Some other important
discussions in the first volume are the present institutional mechanism of disaster
management; Mitigation plan and standard operation procedures. A plan document
shall specify the sustainability of the proposed programme. First Volume of this
document concludes with chapters on financial and budgetary provisions, linking with
developmental plan and certain sample guidelines for conduction mock exercises.
The second volume of The District Disaster Management Plan for Ferozepur is
dedicated for supplying additional information required for better disaster
management. Mostly, it contains the resource inventory of the district, role and
responsibility of IRS officers, emergency contact number, Performa for data
collection, check list and many more. Besides, this volume provided an exclusive list
of schools in the district, various associations in the district and much other
information required in a disaster situation.

The objective of DDMP shall be “to minimize the adverse effects of a hazard through
effective precautionary actions, rehabilitation and recovery to ensure the timely, appropriate
and effective organization and delivery of relief and assistance following a disaster”.

Disaster management is a cyclical process; the end of one phase is the beginning of another
(see diagram below), although one phase of the cycle does not necessarily have to be
completed in order for the next to take place. Often several phases are taking place
concurrently. Timely decision making during each phase results in greater preparedness,
better warnings, reduced vulnerability and/or the prevention of future disasters. The complete
disaster management cycle includes the shaping of public policies and plans that either
addresses the causes of disasters or mitigates their effects on people, property, and
infrastructure. The mitigation and preparedness phases occur as improvements are made in
anticipation of an event. By embracing development, a community’s ability to mitigation
The District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), headed by the Deputy Commissioner
is the Apex Body for Disaster Management in district. The setting up of the DDMA and the
creation of an enabling environment for institutional mechanisms at the State and District
levels is mandated by the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
Ferozepur district is a boarder part of the Punjab and so the vulnerabilities and risks at
stake are not very different. Ferozepur is one of the largest district of Punjab and very
important district of Punjab having around 8, 61,177 lakh (as per statistical abstract of Punjab
(2006) population. Ferozepur is highly vulnerable from flood in the monsoon season every
year. Every year large amount of crop, infrastructure, livestock’s and villages highly affected
from the flood. Other side Ferozepur district is vulnerable from other man-made and natural
disaster like Heat Waves, Fire, War, Drought, Road accident, Rail accident etc. There are
many important religious and historical places and complexes. A part from this, there is a
huge network of roads, railways, canals drainage’s. . In such a huge and sensitive district,
disaster of any type may occur at any time. Hence comprehensive functional plan for Disaster
Management is the need of the hour.
Our main aim is to reduce vulnerability and also to minimize the destruction caused by
all of these types of disaster, be it natural or manmade. This is not an easy task and in order to
achieve this target and also keeping in view the population and the of multiplicity of the
hazards and disaster, which can occur, we are of firm opinion that the government cannot
resolve this issue and the people are not prepared to pay the price in terms of massive
casualties and economic losses, the task, though difficult but is achievable.
The major objective of the disaster management plan is to minimize the impact of any disaster
and increase the capacity of the administration to have coordinated effort to reduce the impact
of any disaster and minimize the human and capital loss.
Ferozepur is a city on the banks of the Sutlej River in Ferozepur District, Punjab, India,
founded by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1309–88). The Manj Rajputs say the town was named
after their chief, a Rajput of the Bhatti clan called Feroze Khan, in the middle of the 16th
century. Ferozepur is called ‘Shaheedon ki dharti’ (the land of martyrs).
Ferozepur today is a transportation and administration center and an ancient city. It is a border
town on the Indo-Pakistan border with memorials of India’s freedom fighters. Three martyrs
in India’s struggle for freedom, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, were hanged
in Lahore for their revolutionary activities against the British Government on March 23, 1931.
They were cremated and their Samadhi is located in Hussainiwala on the Sutlej river bank.
Ferozepur also holds a historic place in Indian history as it was there that British
Raj established control over much of North-West
India as well as what is now Pakistan through the Anglo-Sikh Wars that were fought in this
region. Today it is the headquarters of a brigade of the
2.2 Physiography:-
Satluj River:
It is originates from near Mansarover Lake in Western Tibet (China). After flowing through
Himachal Pradesh, Rupnagar and Ludhiana districts, it enters the Ferozepur district near
village Bhodiwala. From here it follows a north-westerly course for about 40 km. till it
reaches Harike, where it is joined by the Beas River. Satluj River flows toward a west for
about 15 km, from Harike and then it turns southwest, a direction which it keeps through the
rest of its journey till it passes into Pakistan at Suleimanki.
Satluj performs a total journey of about 200 km along the northern and western borders of this
district and separates it from the district of Jalandhar, Kapurthala and Amritsar in the north
and runs along international border with Pakistan in the west.
2.4 Rainfall:
The rainfall in the district increases from the south-west towards the north- east. About 70
percent of the annual rainfall in the district is received during monsoon period from July to
September. In winters, some rainfall occurs under the influence of westerly disturbance. The
following table gives monthly rainfall based of 5 year, 1996-2000, for the district

In the district of Ferozepur, the natural hazards namely, Flood and Earthquake are the most
critical, the wind storms, droughts hazards could also occur but cause damage locally only.
Accidents are other cause for loss of life and are becoming more frequent .Medical hazard
like epidemic and pandemic are critical but have caused damage locally only. There are many
manmade disasters which can cause damage to life and property therefore, it is important that
we regularly asses our vulnerability to all the hazards with are given below and built capacity
to handle them.

Vulnerability assessment of earthquake in district:-
Ferozepur district lies in Seismic zone III. According to Building Material & Technology
Promotion Council, 1997, 68.8% area of the district is vulnerable to intensity VII of risk
under EQ Zone and other area vulnerable to less than intensity VII. In district mostly
buildings are made up of burnt bricks i.e. 80.77% and these types of buildings are vulnerable
of medium EQ zone. According to table, others buildings those are made from mud, un-brunt
bricks, concrete etc. are highly vulnerable to Earthquake.

2. Flood:
Flood is the major disaster in the district. The rural area of the district is highly affected from
the Flood as compare to other disasters. The villages that lie on the beds of Sutlej River are
severely affected to Flood. According to table, the 53.5% area of the District is prone to
Flood. So in this situation vulnerability assessment of flood is very important to minimize the
damage.
The details of the vulnerable sites along the River Satluj are as under:

Disasters caused by living organisms such as bacteria, virus, fungus, etc. are termed as
biological disasters. These organisms may cause epidemics. Since, epidemics are major health
hazards it is necessary to have trained persons to handle disasters of such nature. Proper
training in first aid, hygiene and treatment is essential to deal with biological disasters. To
effectively treat cases of epidemics public awareness and education, before and after the
epidemic, is vital. Studies have related that the following are major problems faced before and
during the outbreak of epidemics.
Food poisoning is a phenomenon where a large number of people could get affected after
consuming contaminated food. This happens mostly during religious and social functions
during which food is prepared in make shift kitchen on mass scale. This calls for immediate
action by the district administration to provide medical attention, identify the source of
poisoning and take corrective actions.
Plant diseases are generally defined as any series of harmful physiological processes caused
by irritation of the plant by some invading agent. These agents are typically referred to as
plant pathogens and include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and algae. Government agricultural
department of district routinely handle outbreaks of plant diseases and infestations through
regular monitoring and pest surveillance in the district. They give training to the farmers
regarding curative and preventive measures taken in respect to mitigate such diseases. Major
plant species in the district are Sugarcane, wheat, jawar, rice, mustard, vegetables, moong, etc.
most common disease in plant in the district are shown in table.
2) Disease of Sugarcane
2) Disease of Sugarcane
1) Disease of Wheat
2) Disease of Gram
3) Disease of Mustard
Animal disease can be classified into non-infectious, infectious, and parasitic disease and can
spread from animal to animal and from animal to human. Animal disease is primarily a
concern for farmers who often suffer severe economic impacts as a result of such a hazard.
Nonetheless, the potential for cross-species contamination means that there is a significant
health concern for human populations. Most common animal disease in the district is Mastitis,
Non-specific fever (bacterial /Viral) and season specific diseases in the animals are
H.S.F.M.D, Hypophosphatemia, parasitic diseases.
Food scarcity due to shortage of animal origin food, e.g., milk, meat and eggs.
Economic crisis due to escalation of food prices (the value of milk output in India is

6. War:-
Punjab has 553 KM long International border with Pakistan with 4 districts of Amritsar,
Ferozepur (Fazilka is separated and become another district of Punjab), Tarn Taran (this
district was created in April 2006) and Gurdaspur abutting the International boarder. The

following 19 blocks (Attari block included in 2010-11) with area of 6369.82 sq.km are being
covered under Border Area in Punjab:-
Gurdaspur Kalanaur, Dera Baba Nanak, Narot Jaimal Singh, Bamial, Dina Nagar,
Dorangla, Gurdaspur.
Amritsar Ajnala, Chogawan and Attari
Problem:-
o The border district have suffered a lot and lagged behind due to their proximity to the
order, 3 wars with Pakistan and long spell of cross border terrorism.
o Farmers living in border areas face acute hardships as they cannot cultivate tall crops.
The problems are compounded by inadequate accessing facilities to the farmers after
the erection of fencing along with international border.
o Rivers Ravi and Sutlej and numbers of choes and distributaries are passing through the
border districts of Gurdaspur and Ferozepur respectively causing damage to the crops
particularly during the rainy season.
o Border area lack basic amenities of Education, Health, Sanitation, transportation and
roads etc. The lack of environment for development of industries and marketing
infrastructure has further accentuated the problems of the local population.
Conclusion:-
In the end we can say the vulnerability assessment of the district is very high. Ferozepur
district is vulnerable from many natural and man-made disasters like flood, earthquake,
hailstorm, fire, road accident, war etc. Most of the area especially rural area is highly affected
to flood at the time of monsoon. In urban area most of the area is highly vulnerable from fire
and earthquake because of bad condition of buildings, narrow streets, the main reasons behind
the vulnerability of the district
o Lack of awareness
o Lack of preparedness planning
o Living standard of the peoples
o Unplanned buildings in the district
Although the primary responsibility of disaster management is of the State Governments, the
Central Government plays a key role in providing financial and logistic help to the states in
tackling both natural and human induced disasters. Till the recent past, India had an entirely
different mechanism for disaster management.
Management of disasters at
various levels in India
Along with other states in India, Punjab has constituted the State Disaster Management
Authority (SDMA) under the chairmanship of Lt. Governor of Punjab and the Chief Minister
and Ministers of relevant Departments as members. The Department of Revenue has been
identifies as nodal department to tackle disasters in the Punjab State.
A couple of working groups are constituted in state level in line with the national set up. These
working groups are given with particular responsibilities and they are the core group of such
factions. Besides, there is an Emergency operation Centre at the state level to coordinate and
perform disaster management activities in a disaster situation as well as in the preparatory
stage. In state level the divisional commissioner act as the Incident Commander for the entire
National Capital Territory of Punjab.
The District Disaster Management Authority shall act as the district planning; coordinating
and implementing body for disaster management and take all measures for the purposes of
disaster management in the district in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the
National Authority and the State Authority.
o Prepare a disaster management plan including district response plan for the district
o Give directions to different authorities at the district level and local authorities to take
such other measures for the prevention or mitigation of disasters as may be necessary;
o Lay down guidelines for prevention of disaster management plans by the department of
the Government at the districts level and local authorities in the district;
o Monitor the implementation of disaster management plans prepared by the
Departments of the Government at the district level;
o Review the state of capabilities for responding to any disaster or threatening disaster
situation in the district and give directions to the relevant departments or authorities at
the district level for their up gradation as may be necessary;
o Organise and coordinate specialised training programmes for different levels of
officers, employees and voluntary rescue workers in the district;
o Facilitate community training and awareness programmes for prevention of disaster or

The DDMC came into currency because of the frequent occurrence of disasters in the district.
The primary aim of the committee is to have proper coordination among all the line
departments. The Deputy Commissioner is the chairman of the DDMC and the district level
response is coordinated under his guidance.
In District Ferozepur a Crisis Management Group (CMG) has been functioning as core group
to take emergency decisions in disaster situations. This group convenes emergency meetings
only and when there is an emergency situation in the district. In normal condition the District
Crisis Management Group (CMG) is expected to meet biannually to assess the situation where
as in case of disasters it has to meet frequently with the following functions:
o To take stoke of the situation.
o Assist the Deputy Commissioner cum Incident Commander to take appropriate
decision in managing the disaster.
o Deciding the way of immediate operation in disaster relief and rehabilitation works.
o Any other as per the need of the time.
At Block Level, every Block in the district should have a Block Disaster Management
Committee headed by Block Development Project Officer. As said above all line departments
at block level are its members.
BDMC includes panchayati raj institutions, municipalities, a district board, cantonment
board, town planning authority or Zila-Parishad or any other body or authority, by whatever
name called, for the time being invested by law, for rendering essential services or, with the
control and management of civic services, within a specified local area. BDMC will make
block disaster preparedness and mitigation plan.
At village level, there should be Disaster Management Committees, chaired by the elected
representatives like Sarpanch at Village level, Panchayat Samiti Chairperson at Block Level
and Zila Parishad President as co-chairman at the District Level.
VDMC taking into consideration disaster at grass root level would act locally supposed to
report and take assistance with Block DM Committee. Consequently Block DM Committee
would acknowledge to District DM Committee. District DM Committee will facilitate to
react accordingly below level committee and share the experiences and demand fund with
State Disaster Management Committee. VDMC will make block disaster preparedness and
mitigation plan.
The military forces or defense forces or armed forces play a very important role during
disaster situation and also in the post-disaster scenario. Their main assets are: discipline,
training, professionalism, specialized equipment, resources and above all a minimum
response time. Generally, they are called upon to manage the following tasks:
i. Evacuation
ii. Maintenance of essential services
iii. Distributing of essential supplies in remove and marooned areas.
iv. Transport of relief material
v. Medical aid
vi. Management of relief camps
Table: 25 List of different Agencies at District Level with name & Contact No
During emergencies for heavy troop movement be it Army Personnel or paramilitary forces -
the Transport wing of Air Force is called in a big way, the helicopters of Air Force are used
for survey and cropping of food packets together with rescuing of stranded people, especially
in flood situations. Air Force also has the responsibility of VIP/VVIP movement.
o Preparedness:
o Response:
No defined role of Police in Disaster Management. Police is always first to reach the site of
disaster
Isolate disaster sites and control site access for safety of victims, general public and
efficiency of incident operation
Camp management
Media management
Disaster Preparedness is very important step at district level. Ferozepur district is highly prone
from various types of natural and man-made disasters. So that preparedness planning is very
important step for Ferozepur district. Disaster preparedness refers to measures taken to
prepare for and reduce the effects of disasters in the Ferozepur district. That is, to predict
and—where possible—prevent them, mitigate their impact on vulnerable populations, and
respond to and effectively cope with their consequences. Disaster preparedness is best viewed
from a broad perspective and is more appropriately conceived of as a goal, rather than as a
specialised programme or stage that immediately precedes disaster response. Disaster
preparedness is a continuous and integrated process resulting from a wide range of activities
and resources rather than from a distinct sectoral activity by itself. It requires the
contributions of many different areas—ranging from training and logistics, to health care to
institutional development.
Disaster preparedness, as already stated, is a broad concept that describes a set of measures
that minimises the adverse effects of a hazard including loss of life and property and
disruption of livelihoods. Disaster preparedness is achieved partially through readiness
measures that expedite emergency response, rehabilitation and recovery and result in rapid,
timely and targeted assistance. It is also achieved through community-based approaches and
activities that build the capacities of people and communities to cope with and minimize the
effects of a disaster on their lives.
A comprehensive disaster preparedness strategy would therefore include the following
Elements:
1. Hazard, risk and vulnerability assessments:
2. Response mechanisms and strategies:

unsafe dams are vulnerable to flood hazards. Infrastructural elements at particular risk are
utilities such as sewer systems, power and water supplies, and machinery belonging to
industry and communications, livestock, agricultural fields etc. Some aspects of flood
planning and response are:-
o Mapping of flood prone areas is primary step to reduce risk of region. Historical
record indicates the flood prone area indication. Warning system issued into earlier
heights of water level.
o The map is prepared with data input of past climate logical records, history of rainfall,
frequency of flooding etc.
o In are where people have built there settlements, measures should e taken to relocate
better site to reduce vulnerability. No high building developed in flooding area.
