PREFACE
“Disaster” means unforeseen and serious threat to public life with suddenness
in terms of time. Declaration of disaster depends on gravity or magnitude of situation,
number of victims involved, time factor i.e. suddenness of an event, non- availability
of medical care in terms of space, equipment’s medical and paramedical staff,
medicines and other basic human needs like food, shelter and clothing, weather
conditions in the locality of incident etc., thus enhancing human sufferings and create
human needs that the victim can’t alleviate without assistance. Disasters have been
occurring ever since the existence of mankind. Yadgir district has Geographical area
of 5234.4 Sq.Km which has covered most of the dry/ wet lands, and often faces
drought, a n d occasionally cyclones and floods like 2005-06 and 2006-07, 2009-10 and
2014-15 While not all natural calamities can be predicted and prevented, a state of
preparedness and ability to respond quickly to a natural calamity can considerably
mitigate loss of life and property and human suffering and restore normalcy at the
earliest.
The National Disaster Management Act was brought in year 2005 to promote a
proactive approach focusing on all phases of Disaster Management and to give more
coherence to the institution a structure required to take forward the paradigm shift in the
approach to Disaster Management in the country. Accordingly, the State of Karnataka has
formed the State Disaster Management Authority and District Disaster Management
Authorities at all the districts for effective management of disasters in the District through
the implementation of District Disaster Management Plans. Therefore Deputy
Commissioner Office played a major role in preparation and reformulation of District
Disaster Management Plans (DDMP) in the year of 2019-20. Conducting consultative
meeting at each Taluka which would guide the district administration to take up
preventive and mitigation measures against disasters in the District, As a whole this is a
genuine effort of district administration to develop the plan and if you have any
suggestions and comments be free to convey the same so that we can include them in the
next edition. We are thankful to all the institutions and persons who have provided us the
vital information in time. Also some blank space has been provided wherever possible so
that any further new information can be included as and when required.

CHAPTER – 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Natural Disasters are known to mankind before it evolved and will happen
afterwards also. It reminds us of a meteorite that had hit the earth which eventually wiped
off the entire dinosaurs, million years ago. Today, also we witness them in the form of
Earthquake, Floods, Landslides, Cyclones, Wildfires, Avalanches, Cloudburst, Heat and cold
waves and the tsunamis (giant tidal waves). Many countries have suffered loss of human
lives and damage to property; their economic losses have been in million dollars. Thus,
disasters not only kill people, but also have tremendous effect on economy. It enhances the
poverty of an already poor country and makes it impoverish. In disasters, it is the poor and
under privileged, who are the worst affected, they tend to lose their shelter, livelihood and
become more impoverished.
1.2 Need for Disaster Management
Data on disaster occurrence, its effect upon people and its cost to countries, are
primary inputs to analyze the temporal and geographical trends in disaster impact.
Disaster losses, provide the basis for identifying where, and to what extent, the potentially
negative outcomes embedded in the concept of risk is realized. They help to understand
where, and to whom, disaster risk becomes impact. They also provide the basis for risk
assessment processes, a departing point for the application of disaster reduction measures.
Development cannot be sustainable unless disaster mitigation is built into development
process. Investments in mitigation are more cost effective than expenditure on relief and
rehabilitation. Prevention and mitigation contribute to lasting improvement in safety and
are essential to integrated disaster management. Disaster response alone is not sufficient
as it yields only temporary results at very high cost. So emphasis must be on Disaster
prevention, mitigation and preparedness, which help in achieving objectivity of
vulnerability reduction.
1.3 What is a Disaster?
“A Disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that causes serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human material economic or
environmental losses and impacts which exceeds the ability of the affected community or
society to cope using its own resources.”
---- UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, (UNISDR)
A Disaster is a "Situation or event, which overwhelms local capacity, necessitating a
request to national or international level for external assistance; an unforeseen and often
sudden event that causes great damage, destruction and human suffering".
Centre for Research of Epidemiology of Disaster (CRED), Belgium
1.3.0 Hazard: is a natural physical event which has a potential to convert into a disaster,
causing widespread injury or deaths and damage to public or private property or the
environment.
1.3.2 Vulnerability: means inability to resist a hazard or respond when a disaster has
occurred. It depends on several factors such as people’s age and state of health, local
environmental and sanitary conditions, as well as on the quality and state of local buildings
and their location with respect to any hazards. --- UNISDR

1.3.3 Disaster Preparedness

Pre-disaster activities that are undertaken within the context of disaster risk management
and are based on sound risk analysis. This includes the development/enhancement of an
overall preparedness strategy, policy, institutional structure, warning and forecasting
capabilities, and plans that define measures geared to helping at-risk communities
safeguard their lives and assets by being alert to hazards and taking appropriate action in
the face of an imminent threat or an actual disaster.
--- Office of Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)
1.3.4 Disaster risk reduction (DRR), attempts to look back at the root causes of
risks and vulnerabilities in a society, state, town or even a single household. Factors
can be broad or specific, depending on the scope of risk and vulnerability
assessments.
1.3.5 Natural hazard: Natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or
other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and
economic disruption, or environmental damage.
The Natural disasters were split into 3 specific groups:
1. Hydro-meteorological disasters: Floods and wave surges, storms, droughts and

related disasters (extreme temperatures and forest/scrub fires), and landslides &
avalanches;
2. Geophysical disasters: Earthquakes & tsunamis and volcanic eruptions;
3. Biological disasters: Epidemics and insect infestations.
1.3.6 Man made disasters

Disasters due to human activities could be unintentional, but lack of safety measures and
abiding by certain safety rules and regulations, Most of these (barring coordinated
terrorist activities) are due to certain accidents.
Terrorism, Bomb blast, Wars, Riots, technology related, Accidents (Road, Water, Air),
Chemical and Nuclear, Industrial accidents etc.
1.4 Worst Disasters in the world
➢ Bam earthquake, Iran, Dec 2003, magnitude 6.6 and 26,271 dead, 30,000 injured
➢ South Asian tsunami, Dec 2004, magnitude 9.3 and 230,000 dead in 14 nations,
25000 injured, 45,752 missing and 1.69 million homeless.
➢ Sichuan earthquake, China, May 2008, magnitude – 7 and 8 69,195 dead, 18,392
homeless and 374,643 injured and 115 billion dollars loss
➢ Haiti earthquake, Jan 2010, magnitude 7 and 150,000 dead, 300,000 injured and
100 million dollars loss

dollars

➢ Japan tsunami, Mar 2011, magnitude 9 and 15,188 dead, 5,337 injured, 8,742
missing and loss of 300 billion dollars
1.5 The Indian scenario
India has been vulnerable to many disasters in the past both natural and man made.
Nearly, 60% of the landmass is prone to earthquake, 8% for cyclones (east and west coast)
and 68% for drought. Some of them are mentioned below along with number of people
dead and the economic losses incurred.
A. Natural disasters in India:-
1. Latur earthquake, Sept. 1993, magnitude 6.4 and 20,000 dead and 30,000 injured
2. Orissa super cyclone, Oct 1999, 15,000 dead 275,000 homes destroyed and 8,119
injured and 4.9 billion dollars loss.
3. Gujarat earthquake, Jan 2001, magnitude 7.7 and 20,000 dead and 167,000 injured
and 400,000 homes destroyed and 5.5 billion dollars loss
4. South Asian Tsunami, Dec 2004, magnitude 9.3 and 12,405 dead, 5,640 missing
and 647,599 homeless.
5. Cyclone Aila, 25 May 2009, 325 dead and 8,000 missing, one million homeless and loss
of 552.6 million dollars and 7,000 infected with diarrhea due to floods
B. Man made disasters in India:-

1. Bhopal gas tragedy, Dec1984 and 3,787 dead and 558,125 affected with disabling
injuries.
2. Gujarat riots, Mar 2002
3. Serial bomb blast, Mumbai, Mar1993
4. Bomb blast in suburban trains, Mumbai, Jul 2006
5. Terrorist attack, Mumbai, Nov 2008
6. Air plane accident, Mangalore, May 2010
Thus, we can notice that most of the disasters have occurred within the last two
decades, and the frequency, intensity and magnitude of the disasters are ever increasing.

.
1.6 National disaster management (NDMA) Act, 2005
The National emergency management authority was constituted in Aug 1999, which
submitted a report in 2001, to have separate department for Disaster management in India
Government enacted the National disaster management act on 23rd Dec 2005, which lead
to the creation of National disaster management authority (NDMA)
Nodal ministries responsible for various categories of disasters

Earthquakes and Tsunami MHA/Ministry of Earth Sciences/IMD
Floods MHA/Ministry of Water Resources/CWC
Cyclones MHA/Ministry of Earth Sciences/IMD
Drought Ministry of Agriculture
Biological Disasters Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
Chemical Disasters Ministry of Environment & Forests
Nuclear Disasters Department of Atomic Energy
Air Accidents Ministry of Civil Aviation

:: Yadgir District ::
Yadgir is one of the disaster prone districts in Karnataka. Floods are more common
especially in Krishna and Bheema due to overflowing rivers. Road accidents are frequent
on Bidar to Shirangapattana highway (State highway no. 218) and due to hair pin bends
there are many accident spots identified, Every year district have faced Drought prones
and lastly due to heavy rain and wind incidents of tree falling are observed. The present
Disaster Management Program which has been implementing by the Government of
Karnataka aims to minimize the risk caused by unexpected disasters in the district. The
Disaster Management Program exclusively works for developing the disaster management
plans, providing trainings, and strengthening the capacity of the different Disaster
Management Teams (DMTs) and creating awareness among public on various disasters.
As it is said that, plan development is one of the vital objectives of this project much more
attention has been paid by the district administration to develop the plan so that it will be
more useful to handle the disasters timely in future. Therefore, genuine efforts have been
dedicated to develop the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP). Linked with
resource inventory connected to website India Disaster Resource Network,
www.idrn.gov.in (IDRN). In fact, ICS and IDRN make it more effective.

1.8 Importance of Multi-hazard Management Plan:- It is apparent that this district is

prone to natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, landslides etc. Also, it cannot ignore the
man-made disasters. So the district plan is designed as per the present need and the major
strategies to respond to any unexpected situation have also been considered In the multi-
hazard district plan, all the disasters will be handled properly following the given response
mechanism, like ICS, use of resource inventory, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP),
keeping coordination with the line agencies and proper community based awareness
activities. SOP of line departments is designed to make them alert. It highlights their role
and responsibilities during, after and normal time of the disaster.
1.8.1 The main features of multi-hazard plan are: -

1. It gives importance to all the disasters equally and helps to mitigate the situation
beforehand.
2. All the departments are assigned with their proper role and responsibilities, which are
clearly indicated in the SOPs.
3. The District administration has to be alert round the year as disasters may occur any
time, anywhere in the district, irrespective of time and location.
1.8.2 Disaster Management Cycle
In multi-hazard response plan, the disaster management cycle has a significant role
to play. The four stages of disaster cycle have their own importance in terms of their
implementation during, after and before the occurrence of any disaster.
1.8.2.1 Pre disaster activities

1. Policy development and National, State, district, local level disaster organization
formation
2. Vulnerability and capacity assessment
3. Prevention and mitigation
4. Preparedness, planning and training

1.8.2.2 Emergency activities
1. Warning (beginning before the actual event)
2. Evacuation, search and rescue
3. Emergency assistance (relief) – food, water, shelter, medical aid
1.8.2.3 Post disaster activities
1. Repair and restoration of life lines (power, telecommunications, water

transportation)
2. Reconstruction and rehabilitation.
1.8.2.4 Mitigation methods

i) Structural measures: Any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impact of
hazards, which include engineering measures and construction of hazard-resistant and
protective structures and infrastructure. --- NDMA (2005)
ii) Non structural measures: Non engineered measures to reduce or avoid possible
impacts of hazards such as education, training and emergency planning, capacity
development, general public awareness, early warning system, hazard vulnerability risk
analysis, communication mechanism etc. --- NDMA (2005)
1.9 Objectives of DDMP

1. To prevent loss of human life and property damage
2. To study, analyze and evaluate the disasters
3. To identify the vulnerable locations and do the vulnerability and risk analysis
4. To improve preparedness, prevention and mitigation at district level
5. To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available
6. To recommend appropriate strategies and responses to deal with future disasters
1.10 Who formulates and carryout the Plan?
The disaster management plan has been formulated starting from the village level up to
the district level. The deputy commissioner, sub-divisional officer and Thahasildar will
head the management teams at their respective levels. Urban & rural local bodies, various
engineering wings & civil society form an essential component of DDMP. The DDMP is
executed by the district disaster management committee, chaired by the Deputy
Commissioner.

CHAPTER – 3
HAZARD, RISK, VULNERABILITY, (HRV) ANALYSIS
This chapter deals with potential hazards which may have to be faced by the
district, probable time of occurrence, vulnerability of the district to different disasters its
analysis and analysis of the risk involved. This acts as a reference, upon which mitigative
measures, rescue, restoration and rehabilitation plan etc. are planned successfully. Any
error in HRV analysis will compound the problems / effects of a disaster. Therefore a
careful attempt has been made to achieve the realistic analysis of hazard, risk and
vulnerability pertaining to Yadgir district.
HAZARD ANALYSIS:- The Hazard may be termed as any event/object/rivers/

industries/earthquaque/fire/building/ excess or deficit of rainfall which can cause a
potential damage to a population/Animals/property/environment etc., an analysis
involving occurrence magnitude, volume of hazards and the impact caused by such
hazards gives a proper direction to prepare a plan to deal with such eventualities. Hazard
analysis of Yadgir district comprises of seasonality of different hazards, history, and area
affected etc. with a special emphasis on hazard due to breach of dams.
FLOOD:-
There are two important rivers flowing through the District namely Bheema and
Krishna. Bheema Rivers start in the state of Maharashtra. There are many barrages on the
Bhima River in Maharashtra and in the district of, Bijapur & Yadgir of Karnataka State.
Whenever there is heavy rainfall in upper catchment areas, the gates of these barrages are
opened which leads to heavy flow of water in the Bhima River and many a time the
surrounding villages face flood situation. In addition to major rivers, the district has a two
major River like Krishna and Bheema. During rainy season, in case of heavy rain, these
major river also flood the neighbouring villages.
Flood Management may be divided in three parts;
➢ Pre-flood measures;
➢ Measures during flood;
➢ Post – flood measures.
➢ History of floods
Almost all the districts in Karnataka are facing the brunt of moderate to severe floods.
Floods are associated with cloud bursts, cyclones or depressions in the Bay of Bengal and
Arabian Sea.

The floods are quite common in the districts

of Belgaum, Bijapur, Bagalkote, Raichur,
Yadgir , Shimaoga, Chikkamagalur, Udupi,
Coorg, Bellary, Dakshina Kannada, Dharwad,
Davanagere, Gadag, Hassan, Uttara Kannada,
Bidar, Bangalore (R), Bangalore (U), Kolar,
Mandya, Mysore, Chamarajanagara, Yadgir
district also flood affected from some areas in Krishna, Bhima River.

DROUGHT:- Karnataka stands Second only to Rajasthan in terms of Drought Affected

areas. The state is highly vulnerable to drought as compared to its neighboring states.
Every year, more than 50% of the talukas are declared as drought affected. About 152.1
Lakhs ha (80%) out of 190.238 Lakh ha is affected by drought in Karnataka. Groundwater
levels are depleting due to successive droughts and quality of water is getting deteriorated
in terms of Fluoride, Nitrate and Salinity. Although, drought may not pose great danger
immediately within a few minutes as could happen in case of a severe earthquake, it has
huge impact on the occurrence of loss of livelihoods, exodus, poverty, unrest, terrorism,
robbery etc.
Definition of drought:- The word drought is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word
“DROUGHT” which means dry weather, the absence of rain, dryness, lack of moisture,
prolonged lack of something and thirst.
Drought occurs when precipitation is not sufficient to meet the needs of established human
and other Biological activities.
Conceptual definitions:- Conceptual definitions, formulated in general terms, help people

understand the concept of drought. For example:
Drought is a protracted period of deficient precipitation resulting in extensive damage to

crops, resulting in loss of yield.
Conceptual definitions may also be necessary in establishing drought policy. For

example, Australian drought policy incorporates an understanding of normal climate variability
into its definition of drought. The country provides financial assistance to farmers only under
“exceptional drought circumstances,” when drought conditions are beyond those that could be
considered part of standard risk management. Declarations of exceptional drought are based on
science-driven assessments. Previously, when drought was less well defined from a policy
standpoint and less well understood by farmers, some farmers in the semiarid Australian climate
claimed drought assistance every few years.
Operational definitions:- Operational definitions help define the onset, severity, and end of
droughts. No single operational definition of drought works in all circumstances, and this is a big
part of why policy makers, resource planners, and others have more trouble recognizing and
planning for drought than they do for other natural disasters. In fact, most drought planners now
rely on mathematic indices to decide when to start implementing water conservation or drought
response measures. To determine the beginning of drought, operational definitions specify the
degree of departure from the average of precipitation or some other climatic variable over some
period. This is usually done by comparing the current situation to the historical average, often
based on a 30-year period of record. The threshold identified as the beginning of a drought (e.g.,
75% of average precipitation over a specified period) is usually established somewhat arbitrarily,
rather than by its precise relationship to specific impacts.

An operational definition for agriculture might compare daily precipitation values

toevapotranspirationrates to determine the rate of soil moisture depletion, then express these
relationships regarding drought effects on plant behaviour (i.e., growth and yield) at various
stages of crop development. A definition such as this one could be used in an operational
assessment of drought severity and impacts by tracking meteorological variables, soil moisture,
and crop conditions during the growing season, continually reevaluating the potential impact of
these conditions on final yield.
Operational definitions can also be used to analyse drought frequency, severity, and duration
for a given historical period. Such definitions, however, require weather data on hourly, daily,
monthly, or other timescales and, possibly, impact data (e.g., crop yield), depending on the
nature of the definition being applied. Developing climatology of drought for a region provides a
greater understanding of its characteristics and the probability of recurrence at various levels of
severity. Information of this type is extremely beneficial in the development of response and
mitigation strategies and preparedness plans.
Location specific definition of drought:- Different people explain the word drought in different
ways; it is location specific.
• In USSR 10 days with a no rain.
• In UK 15 days, none of which received as much as 0.25mm of rainfall (British
Rainfall Organization, 1936).
• In Bali, Six days with no rainfall is considered as drought.
• In Libya when annual rainfall is less 180mm (Hudson, 1964).
Definitions of Drought in India:
According to Indian situation, the drought is defined as like below:
a. IMD Criteria
• Defines drought in times of percent of deficiency of Rainfall from normal.
• When rainfall deficits in between 25-50% it is moderate Drought.
• When rainfall deficit is about 50%, it is severe Drought.
b. Irrigation Commission – 1972
• An area is a Drought prone whenever 75% of average Rainfall is not received by
20% or more the years
• Whenever this probability exceeds 40% of the years, the area is said to be
chronicallydrought-prone area.
• Area whose 30% of the crop area is irrigated excluded from the list of drought
prone.
• Area experience scarcity more frequently would be classified as drought prone.

c. National Agricultural Commission-1976

• The drought has been defined as an occasion when the rainfall in a week is half of
the normal or less. When the standard weekly rainfall 5mm or more.
• Agricultural drought is a period of 4 such consecutive weeks in the period from
middle May to the middle of October or 6 such weak during Rest of the year.
Disciplinary perspective on drought:- Experts divided drought into 4 phases:
a. Meteorological Drought: Drought is a period of lower than average rainfall.
b. Agricultural Drought: Drought can follow if plant crops and wildlife are contrary impacted.
c. Hydrological Drought: Extends to impact the levels of lake, rivers, stream flow and wells.
d. Socioeconomic Drought: Supply and demand of economic goods.
Meteorological drought:- Meteorological drought is usually definedby the degree of dryness
(in comparison to some “normal” or average amount) and the duration of the dry period.
Meteorological drought has been defined as a “period of more than some particular number of
days with precipitation less than some specific small amount” (Great Britain Meteorological
Office, 1951). Definitions of meteorological drought must be considered as region-specific since
the atmospheric conditions that result in deficiencies of precipitation are highly variable from
region to region. For example, some definitions of meteorological drought identify periods of
drought by the number of days with precipitation less than some specified threshold. This
measure is only appropriate for regions characterised by ayear-round precipitation regime such as
a tropical rainforest, humid subtropical climate, or humid mid-latitude climate, arid and semi-arid
climates. In Karnataka coastal regions is a humid region. Northern and southern Karnataka
comes under semi-arid regions. A definition based on the number of days with precipitation less
than some specified threshold is unrealistic in these cases. Other definitions may relate actual
precipitation departure to average amounts on monthly, seasonal or annual time scales(Skakun,
Kussul, Shelestov, Kussul, & Kussul, 2016).

Agricultural drought:- Agricultural drought links various characteristic of meteorological (or

hydrological) drought to agricultural impacts, focusing on precipitation shortages, differences
between actual and potential evapotranspiration, soil water deficits, reduced groundwater or
reservoir levels, and so forth. Plant water demand depends on prevailing weather conditions,
biological characteristic of the specific plant, its stage of growth, and the physical and biological
properties of the soil. A good definition of agricultural drought should be able to account for the
variable susceptibility of crops during different stages of crop development, from emergence to
maturity. Deficient topsoil moisture at planting may hinder germination, leading to low plant
populations per hectare and a reduction of final yield. However, if topsoil moisture is sufficient
for new growth requirements, deficiencies in subsoil moisture at this early stage may not affect
final yield if subsoil moisture is replenished as the growing season progresses or if rainfall meets
plant water needs(Carrão, Russo, Sepulcre-canto, & Barbosa, 2016).
Hydrological drought:- Hydrological drought is concerned with the effect of dry spells on
surface or subsurface hydrology, rather than with the meteorological explanation of the event.
For example, Linsley considered hydrologic drought a “period during which stream flows are
inadequate to supply established uses under a given water management system”. The frequency
and severity of hydrologic drought are often defined by its influences on river basins. Although
climates is a primary contribution to hydrologic drought, other factors such as changes in land
use (e. g., deforestation), land degradation, and the construction of dams all affect the
hydrological characteristic of the basin. Because hydrologic systems interconnect regions, the im
pact of meteorological drought may extend well beyond the borders of the precipitation –
deficient area. Hydrologic drought is often out of phases with both meteorological and
agricultural drought(Barker, Hannaford, Chiverton, & Svensson, 2016).
Relation between meteorological drought, hydrological drought, agricultural drought and

its impacts.

Socioeconomic drought:
Socioeconomic definitions of drought associate the supply and demand of some economic good
with elements of meteorological, hydrological and agricultural drought. For example, “shortage
of water harmful to man’s agriculture activities. It occurs as an interaction between agricultural
activity (i.e., demand) and events (i.e., supply), which results in a water volume or quality
inadequate for plant and or animal needs”(Horion, Singleton, Carrao, & Vogt, 2012). It differs
from the types above of drought because its occurrence depends on the time and space processes
of supply and demand and to identify or classify droughts. The supply of many economic goods,
such as water, forage, food grains, fish and hydroelectric power, depends on the weather.
Because of the natural variability of climates, water supply is ample in some years but unable to
meet human and environmental needs in other years. Socioeconomic drought occurs when the
demand for an economic good exceeds supply as a result of a weather-related shortfall in the
water supply(Horion et al., 2012).

Causes of Drought
1. Rainfall or Precipitation Deficiency:- Droughts take place whenever there are prolonged
periods of rainfall deficiency for a season or more and usually when there is a lack of anticipated
rainfall or precipitation. When a region goes for long periods without any rain, especially for
more than a season, then the situation leads to dry conditions and water deficiency which qualify
as drought(Bhuiyan, 2000).
Farmers, for instance, plant in expectation of rain and so when it does not rain as
expected, drought conditions are experienced. In such cases, it is frequently termed as
agricultural drought(Murthy, n.d.).
2.Human Causes:- Human activities play a relatively significant role in the management of the
water cycle. Human acts such as deforestation, construction, and agriculture negatively impact
the water cycle. Trees and vegetation cover are essential for the water cycle as it helps to limit
evaporation, stores water, and attracts rainfall(Zolotokrylin, n.d.).
In this sense, deforestation – clearing vegetation cover and cutting down trees increases
evaporation and lessens the ability of the soil to hold water leading to increased susceptibility to
desertification. Deforestation can also influence the occurrence of dry conditions since it reduces
forest’s watershed potential. Construction and agricultural activities may as well reduce the
overall supply quantity of water, resulting in dry spells(Hosseini, Sharifzadeh, & Akbari, 2009)
3. Drying out of Surface Water Flow:- Lakes, rivers, and streams are the primary suppliers of
downstream surface waters in various geographical regions around the globe. In extremely hot
seasons or because of specific human activities, these surface water flows may dry out
downstream contributing to drought – meaning the demands for water supply become higher
than the available water(Alim & Shobair, 2000).
Irrigation systems and hydro-electric dams are some of the human activities that can
significantly diminish the amount of water flowing downstream to other areas(Loon et al., 2016).
4.Global Warming:-Human actions have contributed to more and more emissions of greenhouse
gasses into the atmosphere thus resulting in the continued rise of the earth’s average
temperatures(Mann, 2009). Consequently, evaporation and evapotranspiration levels have risen,
and the higher temperatures have led to wildfires and extended dry spell periods. The global
warming situation tends to exacerbate the drought conditions. Some of the worst droughts
witnessed in sub-Saharan Africa have been associated with global warming and climate
change(Society & Academy, n.d.)

5.Drought and environment:- For the last go years, Karnataka has experienced several droughts
varying from severe to mild. The drought affects the interior and north interior plain of the
state(Papathanasiou et al., 2015). Drought is havinglong-term and also short-term impact on the
environment. Frequent and continuous drought over a period and continuous makes more
greatmore considerable area barren land dustier,anderosion-prone environment degrades slowly
instead steadily make the society weaker and weaker(Alpino, Ricarda, Sena, & Freitas, n.d.).
Impact of drought :-Drought produces wide-ranging impacts that span across many sectors of
the economy. The reverberations are felt by the society and economy much beyond the areas
experiencing the onslaughts of physical drought because agricultural production and water
resource are integral to our ability to produce goods and services. Drought affects the overall
economy of the country at macro and microeconomic levels, both directly and indirectly. Direct
impacts are usually visible in falling agricultural production and heightened food insecurity
among weak and vulnerable sections; depleted water levels; higher livestock and wildlife
mortality; cattle and animal migration; damage to the ecosystem from indiscriminate
exploitation; increase fire hazards. Indirect impacts of drought can be gauged from the reduction
in incomes for farmers and agribusinesses, increased prices for food and fodder, reduction in
purchasing capacity and slump in consumption, default on agricultural loans, distress sale of
agricultural land and livestock, rural unrest, shrinkage in avenues for agricultural employment.
These deleterious impulses have substantialadverse multiplier effects on the economy and
society. The impacts of drought are categorised as economic, environmental, and social.
The failure of monsoon is resulting the state of Karnataka is facing severe drought for the
6th consecutive year. The state has an overall deficit rainfall of 18%. Drought is prevailing in 25
districts out of the 30 districts in the State.

Drought Vulnerability in Karnataka state

INDUSTRIES:- Yadgir district is the 2nd smallest district in the state, area wise is very
rich in cultural traditions. The vast stretch of fertile black soil of the district is known for
bumper red gram and jawar crops. The district is a “Rice bowl” of the state. The district is
also known for cluster of cement industries and a distinct stone popularly known as
“Malakheda Stone”.
Yadgir district is place of full natural resource like Water (Mainly Two river flows
Krishna and Bhima). And there is lots of scope for Industrialization in future. One Sugar
and fuel industry "Core Green" also established near Hiretumkur village. Recently Rich
uranium deposits have been found in the Gogi belt covering the villages of Gogi, Ukkinal,
Darshanapur in Shahapur taluk, and Thinthini and other places in Surapur taluk. Uranium
processed here will be used for defense and power generation purpose.

856 Micro & Small medium enterprise registered up till 2010-11.

➢ 170 small scale industries creating employment for 734 people.
➢ One Sugar and fuel industry “Core Green” also established near iretumkur
village.
➢ Availability of processed Uranium used for defense and power generation
purpose.
➢ Agriculture, Mineral and textiles based industry could be encouraged in
the District.
➢ Sugar, Thermal power to be considered on top priority.
➢ Proposal to establish Pharmaceutical Industrial Park.
➢ As per Suvarna Karnataka Corridor scheme, this district has been recognized As
Agro based, cement and power project zone.
As per Karnataka Industrial Policy 2009-14, all the 3 Taluks of the district are
recognized as most backward and classified under zone 1, which entitles all the industrial
units coming up in this district to avail incentives and concessions given by the
Government.
EARTHQUAKE:- In a simplest way an earthquake can be defined as Tremors or shock

waves that originate below the surface and appear as shock waves above the earth. The
tremors are in the form of waves called ‘P’ waves, ‘S’ waves and 'L' waves. There are many
reasons for an earthquake, which are classified as Tectonic and Non-Tectonic earthquakes.
The Tectonic earthquakes are those produced by the disturbances induced due to crustal
disturbances such as sliding or caving of strata in places of large reservoirs, mining area
etc. The depths of origin of earthquakes in such conditions are not deep sealed, but the
catastrophic effect by and large is very high. Most of the severe earthquakes are of this
type. The Non-Tectonic earthquakes are deep seated, usually due to magnetic activities.
They are less effective and often only felt at the seismic centers.
The “Focus” is the actual place of origin of earthquake usually associated with
crustal disturbances, such as rock sliding, faults, caving of strata etc. as observed in deep
mines. The “Epicenter” is the place above Focus and at surface from where the shock
waves travel in different directions.
Intensity of an earthquake is measured in terms of Ritcher after Mr. C.F. Ritcher in

1935 devised a scale for measuring the intensity or magnitude of earthquake. Following
gives an idea of this scale, which is till today the standard seismic scale.

HISTORY OF EARTHQUAKE IN YADGIR:- Yadgir district has so far not directly

experienced any earthquake. i.e., It is not observed to be an epicenter. However it has
experienced the effects of an earthquake which has happened very near its border in Kilari
village in Latur district of Maharastra on 30th September 1993. Damages to property has
also been reported in Shahapur, Shorapur, taluks. Severe shocks have also been reported
in almost all taluks of Yadgir district. Loss of life has not been reported in any Taluka.
There is a similarit y of rock formations of kilari to that of rocks in the taluka of Shahapur,
Shorapur, and Parts of Yadgir have experienced minor earthquakes.
Nature can never be predicted accurately. However it does give us certain clues.
Strange behavior of animals and birds, especially animals living in burrows coming out on
a large scale, sudden drying of wells/borewells are all common before an earthquake. The
people of the area must be sensitised to observe such strange phonomena and take
measures to protect themselves and their property during such times.
There is no escape from natural disasters. However precautionary measures are

necessary. With this objective the Govt. has formed an action plan in 1994. As per this
plan it is first proposed to identify the areas prone to earthquakes. For this seismic
observatories are proposed to be set up in Yadgir, Shahapur, and Shorapur.
EARTHQUAKE RELATED CHANGES:- Earthquake vibrations cause damage to the life and
property due to collapse of structures especially if they are not properly engineered.
Several related changes accompanying earthquake are,
• Surface deformation in the surface of the earth.

• Fluctuation in the ground water table.
• Emission of sound.
• Appearance of ground fissures
To do the above mentioned work one needs manpower and machinery and it is very
much necessary that the DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN Contains details of these
manpower and machinery. The various type of manpower, which is available in the District
of Yadgir , is as detailed.

➢ Policeman: The total police force available in the District is 5000. Out of these 150
are of officers grade and the remaining are constables. In addition to this the
District has 10 KSRP Platoons and 20 DR platoons. Details of police force in various
Talukas are enclosed as Annexure II.
➢ Home guard: The district is having a strong home guard unit. Total strength of
home guards in the district is 914. Details are enclosed as Annexure XIII.
➢ Medical Staff: District has good number of doctors and Para Medical staff.
Availability of medico manpower is enclosed as Annexure IV.
➢ N.C.C. Volunteers: There number at various places is enclosed as Annexure XXII.
➢ N.S.S. Volunteers: There number at various places is enclosed as Annexure XXIII.
➢ Aanganwadi workers: Services of these Anganwadi workers can be used as para-
medical staff. The number in various Talukas is enclosed as Annexure XVI.
➢ Manpower from N.G.O.s like IMA social club, Red Cross Society, Rotary club, Lions
club and other active N.G.O.s. A list of such organizations with contact number is
enclosed as Annexure XIV.
➢ Manpower available with Urban local bodies is enclosed
➢ Teachers of Primary and Secondary schools. Availability in each Taluka is enclosed
as Annexure XXVI.
The Deputy Commissioner will make an estimation of the affected area with the
help of Taluka level officers to decide the type of services to be given to the victims with
regards to basic needs. The district administration is ready to provide health services to
the victims with cooperation of Health dept. The detailed statement indicating number of
hospital available in the district and health manpower and equipment etc. Is enclosed as
Annexure IV. In addition to this we can also avail the services of private medical
practitioners, IMA social club, Red Cross, Inner wheel club, Rotary club. Voluntary
organizations and NGO etc. Mahila Mandals, Yuwak and Yuwati Mandals, local bodies like
Panchayat, Municipalities, and Corporation etc. Both for supplying of medicines and
treatment of the victims.
SEISMOLOGY:- is the science of studying the earthquakes. Very sensitive Seismographs

are installed above the ground surface at known intervals (distance) in seismological
stations. The seismographs are fitted with very sensitive springs attached to vertical or
horizontal rotating drums, on which scaled papers are attached. A marking tool, like a pen
or pencil is attached to the end of the spring. The roller drum will be rolling on its axis
continuously with a preset speed, and the tip of the marker goes on marking a line in
normal course. When a earthquake sets its motion, tremors start to traverse along the
surface, which will cause the spring to stretch or strain, and oscillate, so that the marker
will also change its position leaving behind the oscillating curves. It is like a cardiogram
where the intensity of heartbeat is measured by indicator traveled on the paper. The
intensity of earthquake is directly proportional to the movement of curve away from the
normal or central line.

At present there are only two Seismological observatories in Karnataka one at

Mangalore set up by IMD and the other at Gouribidanur in Kolar district. There is a Rock
burst Research Station set up in Kolar Gold Field, the deepest mine in the world exists.
The earthquakes are closely associated with the Geological formations in the area. For
example, an igneous terrain is more consolidated and stable, not easily susceptible for
physical changes. A sedimentary terrain on the other hand is more susceptible for physical
changes, like displacement of rock beds all along the bedding planes or major folds and
faults. The metamorphic rocky area is also susceptible for such changes. Hence it can be
concluded that the igneous terrains like Deccan Basalt, Granite, Gneiss, Dolerite,
Amphibolite etc. Are more stable than other types of rocks. In India they are confined to
Himalayan mountain ranges around the northern borders of Indian peninsula.
Earthquakes originate from places of accumulated stress in order to realign or redistribute
such accumulated stress and to bring stability in the earth’s crust.
Earlier the peninsular India was considered to be a region of high stability as the
mountain building movements have ceased to be active long ago. It is cut up by a large
number of fractures and faults but these are inactive at the present. However recent
earthquakes at Koyna dam site and Kilhari in Latur district of Maharashtra have proved
that the earthquakes can happen in areas of Deccan traps also.

During rainy season, rivers and its tributaries in the district may pose threat of
floods. Things get worse as the flood devastates the crops in the affected area and is also a
source of epidemics. The district had never experienced any earthquake expect minor
tremors from time to time. Since the district falls under seismic zone II and III, i.e., less risk
to moderate risk zones, the possibility & can never be ruled out as it can happen any time.
Drought may occur due to want of rain at proper time. or sometimes heavy rainfall may
damage the crops.
Cyclonic effect in the eastern coast and Bay of Bengal may cause excessive rainfall
which would result in crop damage and other loss. Fire accidents and incidents such as
strikes, burning of vehicles are frequently happening in the district particularly fire
accident occurs during the summer season.

FLOOD:- There are two important rivers flowing through the District namely Bheema and
Krishna. Bheema Rivers start in the state of Maharashtra. There are many barrages on the
Bhima River in Maharashtra and in the district of, Bijapur& Yadgir of Karnataka State.
Whenever there is heavy rainfall in upper catchment areas, the gates of these barrages are
opened which leads to heavy flow of water in the Bhima River and many a time the
surrounding villages face flood situation.
Pre – Flood Measure:- Tahasildar of each taluka is directed to Co-ordinate with village
Panchayats is his Taluka in identifying low lying areas, Ponds areas, where peoples are
settled and which may be vulnerable to flooding either by flood water of nalas or by heavy
rainfalls. Simultaneously to identify the nearby safe areas where temporary shelters may
be put in case of necessity. A map has been prepared depicting flood prone areas and
safer area where relief centers can be provided in emergencies.
Tahasildars will prepare and maintain a list of telephone numbers of all Taluka and
village level Offices, nearly police station telephone numbers and provide a copy to
NGOs/VIPs and also prepare a list of village wise vehicle availability. The table below
shows the number of villages, which face threat of flood in Yadgir District.

CHAPTER – 5
MITIGATION PLAN
Mitigation, Definition
Mitigation and Prevention are used as synonyms. Some prefer to drop the term
Mitigation and use only Prevention. The term Mitigation can be comprised in the term
Prevention. Mitigation means to reduce the severity of the human and material damage
caused by the disaster. Prevention is to ensure that human action or natural phenomena
do not result in disaster or emergency. Primary prevention is to reduce -avert- avoid the
risk of the event occurring, by getting rid of the hazard or vulnerability, e.g. to avoid
overcrowding, deforestation and to provide services. Healthier people in a healthy
environment will be less vulnerable to most hazards. E.g. immunizing people against
smallpox made them less vulnerable to the virus, and slowly eradicated the disease.
Secondary prevention means to recognize promptly the event and to reduce its effects, e.g.
by staying alert to possible displacements of population; by being ready to provide
immunization, food, clean water, sanitation and health care to refugees. Healthier people in
a healthy environment will also be more capable to overcome the emergency.
Principal Objectives of Mitigation
• Save lives
• Reduce economic disruption
• Decrease vulnerability/increase capacity RISK REDUCTION
• Decrease chance/level of conflict
Mitigative measures to be taken in case of natural Disaster.

• Slowing down the spreading of mine, industrial and forest fires and their mitigation
•Damage due to earthquake, landslides and other mass movements can be minimized
through early warning systems and timely evacuation of population. Drainage, sub
surface drainage, embankments, strengthening of slopes, raising vegetation on sloppy
surfaces, constructing of culverts etc. helps mitigating the damage.
• In case of earth quakes emergency evacuation, scratch resume and relief from
important action plan in disaster management
• Programs of disaster management/ mitigation encompass a wide range of
options ranging from issuance flood warnings to reduction of flooding to actual
evacuation.
In disaster management cycle, preparedness and mitigation are the two important
stages before the occurrence of disaster. It has a great importance in reduction of loss of
life and property if proper preparedness and mitigation strategies are followed.

5.1 Preparedness
This protective process embraces measures which enable governments, communities and
individuals to respond rapidly to disaster situations to cope with them effectively.
Preparedness includes the formulation of viable emergency plans, the development of
warning systems, the maintenance of inventories and the training of personnel. It may
also embrace search and rescue measures as well as evacuation plans for areas that may
be at risk from a recurring disaster.
Preparedness therefore encompasses those measures taken before a disaster event which
are aimed at minimizing the loss of life, disruption of critical services, and damage when
the disaster occurs. All preparedness planning needs to be supported by appropriate
legislation with clear allocation of responsibilities and budgetary provisions.
5.2 Mitigation
Mitigation embraces all measures taken to reduce both the effect of the hazard itself and
the vulnerable conditions to it in order to reduce the scale of a future disaster. Therefore
mitigation activities can be focused on the hazard itself or the elements exposed to the
threat. Examples of mitigation measures which are hazard specific include modifying the
occurrence of the hazard, e.g. water management in drought prone areas, avoiding the
hazard by siting people away from the hazard and by strengthening structures to reduce
damage when a hazard occurs. In addition to these physical measures, mitigation aims at
reducing the physical, economic and social vulnerability to threats and the underlying
causes for this vulnerability.
A proper preparedness and mitigation measure instantly helps to respond a disaster in

time. So disaster wise preparedness and mitigation is highly required. These are normal
time activities. A prepared community is the best community to minimize the loss and
damage caused by the disasters. Mitigation focuses on various ways and means of reducing
the impacts of disasters on the communities through damage prevention. It is hazard
specific including both structural and non-structural issues. It is also very strategic rather
than the description of various methods of resistant construction technologies.
5.3 Preparedness and Mitigation Measures
A preparedness and mitigation measure towards various disasters certainly helps to

reduce the risk as well as loss and damage of the life and properties caused by different
disasters. Let’s discuss them in general as well as event wise:-
5.3.1 General Preparedness Measures
1. Establishment of the Control Rooms

The district administration should ensure the operation of control rooms. The control
rooms are presently run by major line departments at revenue, police, MSEDC, Hospital,
etc. at taluka and district level should be functionable.

2. Plan Updation
Disaster Management Plan needs updation at every interval. It includes the skilled
manpower, their addresses and contact numbers, necessary equipments, medicinal stock,
daily necessities, list of flood prone villages etc. All these things have to be updated after a
certain interval of time.
3. Communication System
Training is given for search and rescue teams, first aid team’s disaster management teams
at village, taluka and district level. These teams will provide timely help during any type of
disaster. Provision of wireless sets at all Sub-division and Taluka Offices for effective
communication of cyclone/heavy rainfall/flood warning. Effective and stricter
implementation of flood zone regulations disallowing construction within 200 m of river
banks. Widespread community awareness programmes in flood prone villages so that
villages are sensitized about the flood hazard and there are no problems when there is
need for evacuation.
4. Training for Disater Management Team Members
Each of the DMTs comprise groups of women and men volunteers and are assigned with a
specials task The Search and Rescue Teams, First Aid Teams formed at the three levels
should be provided training from time to time so that their timely help can be used during
disaster.
5. Organization of Mock Drills

Mock drill is an integral part of the Community based disaster management plan, as it is a
preparedness drill to keep the community alert. Mock drills are organized in all the villages
of the district to activate the DMTs and modification of the DM plan. Mock drill is organized
once in six months as per the seasonality calendar of natural disaster events that is likely
to occur.
6. Community Awareness on Various Disasters

1. Construction of Earthquake Resistant Structures
2. retrofitting the weak structures
3. House insurance
4. construction of embankments for flood control
5. Rehabilitation of people in safe lands
6. development of plans for shifting people from vulnerable area to safer area
5.3.2 Disaster wise mitigation measures may be taken as follows

A. Floods and Cyclones
Flooding frequency is quite frequent in many talukas of the district. Strict
enforcement of flood zone regulations need to done to prevent constructions of any type
within 200 m of the riverbanks.

Engineering solutions like building of flood embankments, small dams, deepening of

the channels may be considered for specific localities.
Community awareness should be built up so that people respond effectively to the
flooding. Persons living in the low lying parts of floodplains, areas below unsafe dams, low-
lying shorelines, or river delta areas are vulnerable to flood hazards. Notable risk in flood
plain settlements are buildings made of earth or with soluble mortar, buildings with
shallow foundations or non-resistant to water force and inundation. Infrastructural
elements at particular risk are utilities such as sewer systems, power and water supplies,
machinery and electronics belonging to industry and communications, livestock, vehicles,
agricultural fields etc. Inhabitants of flood prone areas usually have a number of traditional
methods at their disposal for coping with floods. Some aspects of flood planning and
response are:-
Issuing warnings at the local levels Participating in flood fighting by organizing

work parties to repair Embankments or clear debris from drainage areas, pile sandbags
Stockpile needed materials Facilitating agricultural recovery Planning emergency supplies
of flood and clean drinking water To conduct trainings on search and rescue for Search and
Rescue Teams formed at District, Taluka and Village level from time to time.
There is need for trained full time fire brigade personnel in each municipality who
will help in search and rescue.The health department needs to be equipped with more
water quality monitoring centers for effective surveillance of water quality during flood
events.Planting of casaurina trees along the coast, which will serve as wind breakers.
Provision of wireless communication equipment to all tahsil offices so that information
about approaching cyclone can be relayed immediately.
Main Mitigation Strategies:-
1. Mapping of the flood prone areas is a primary step involved in reducing the risk of the
region. Historical records give the indication of the flood inundation areas and the
period of occurrence and the extent of the coverage. Warning can be issued looking into
the earlier marked heights of the water levels in case of potential threat. In the coastal
areas the tide levels and the land characteristics will determine the submergence areas.
Flood hazard mapping will give the proper indication of water flow during floods.
2. The onset of cyclones is extensive and often very destructive. A hazard map will illustrate
the areas vulnerable to the cyclone in any given year.
3. The map is prepared with data inputs off past climatologically records, history of wind
speed, frequency of flooding etc.
4. Land use control will reduce the danger of life and property when waters inundate the
floodplains and the coastal areas. In areas where people already have built their
settlements, measures should be taken to relocate to better sites so as to reduce
vulnerability. No major development should be permitted in the areas which are
subjected to high flooding. Important facilities should be built in safe areas.

5. Construction of engineered structures in the flood plains and strengthening of

structures to withstand flood forces and seepage. The buildings should be constructed
on an elevated area. If necessary build on stilts or platform. They should be wind and
water resistant. Protect river embankments. Communication lines should be installed
underground. Provide strong halls for community shelter in vulnerable locations.
6. Flood Control aims to reduce flood damage. Measures such as reforestation, protection
of vegetation, clearing of debris, conservation of ponds and lakes, etc.
7. Structural measures include storage reservoirs, flood embankments, drainage

channels, anti-erosion works, detention basins, etc. and non-structural measures
include flood forecasting, flood proofing, disaster preparedness, etc.

Administrative preparedness :- All the 7 Thahasildar have been inspired and

instructed to form groups of Village Accountants, Revenue Inspectors, Deputy
Thahasildar, wherever nodal officers are available and to identify the vulnerable areas and
also to plan for the local publicity at the time of such incidents. The taluk level officers like
Executive Officer, Asst. Executive Engineers, Block Educational Officers and all other
departments are also asked to be in our team to provide necessary help to provide
shelter, food, repairs of roads, culverts, etc., wherever required. Karnataka Power
Transmission Corporation Ltd., GESCOM, Medical Staff and Municipality or Panchayath
Staff has been asked to extend their services, within their limits. Almost all the social
workers, NGOs and the likeminded people have been asked to provide their services
in times of need.

All the officers were kept in touch with the DDM Heads, both in taluk and district
level. Police, Home guards were kept in red alert especially in project areas and on river
banks. And also to identify the places where rehabilitation camps are to
be opened, facilities to provide drinking water, food providing facility and areas available
resources are to be identified. Medical facilities, NGO assistance, maintenance of cattle, open
space for all their activities are also to be kept in mind in identifying the mitigation plan. The slum
areas, the people living in low line areas, backwater level areas were kept in mind, and high alert
and wide publicity arrangements were also made.
1) Drought Mitigation Plan:- Drought is a normal, recurrent feature of climate and characterized
in terms of its spatial extension, intensity and duration. Conditions of drought appear when rainfall
is deficient in relation to the statistical multi-year average for a region, over an extended period of
a season or a year, or even more. Drought is a temporary aberration unlike aridity, which is a
permanent feature of climate.
Drought produces wide-ranging impacts that span across many sectors of the economy and
are felt far beyond the area experiencing physical drought. Direct or primary impacts of droughts
are usually associated with reduced agricultural production; depleted water levels; higher livestock
mortality rates and damage to wildlife and fish habitats. When direct impacts have multiplier effect
through the economy and society, they are referred to as indirect impacts in terms of reduced
income for farmers and agri-business, increased prices for food and timber, unemployment,
reduced purchasing capacity and demand for consumption, default on agricultural loans, and
reduction in agricultural employment leading to migration etc.
Drought Mitigation:- Mitigation measures are initiatives undertaken to reduce the incidence or
minimize impacts of drought. Besides drought proofing, these measures help in adapting to climate
change, restoring ecological balance and bringing development benefits to the people. However,
drought mitigation programmes are not to be construed stand-alone interventions that are to be
implemented only in the wake of a drought; but must form part of developmental planning in the
domain of soil conservation, watershed development and forestry. As such, drought mitigation
measures are to be mainstreamed in regular development programmes of Central and State
Governments.
Government’s policy towards drought management has changed considerably over the
years and now rests upon early warning & preparedness, crisis management response, medium
and long-term drought mitigation measures with greater application of state-of-the art technology
and scientific tools. A number of Central Governments Schemes/Programmes have evolved over
time to address the need for medium and long-term drought mitigation requirements. Notable
among them are Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS),
Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), subsuming erstwhile Drought Prone Area
Programme (DPAP)), National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), Swarna-jayanthi
Grameen Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna (RKVY), Fodder & Feed
Development Scheme etc. Besides, various area development programmes by State Governments
either through their own resources or with Government of India’s support like Backward Region
Grant Fund (BRGF), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) are contributing significantly
to enhance drought resilience. Central and State Governments continue to consider further
possibilities of reorienting/synergizing regular development programs for achieving a robust
drought resilient regime.

Structural Mitigation Measures for Drought

a. Artificial recharging of ground water, watershed programmes in privately owned
small/marginal farms, laying of pipes/channels for exclusive transportation of water
to dry areas;
b. Programme for reconstruction and preservation of traditional water harvesting
structures, construction of canals for transportation of water from surplus to non-
surplus areas, establishment of cost-effective drip /sprinkle irrigation practices etc.
c. Construction of watershed structures at the right place where water recharge can be
enhanced/will be used for life saving irrigation at critical stages of crop growth and
during drought situations.
d. Construction of “Community Ponds” through Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRI) and
maintenance by levying user charges.
e. Augmentation of agro-based food processing industries in rural areas for sustenance
of employment,
f. Establishing chain of cold storages to minimize post-harvest losses along with
adaptation of appropriate post-harvest management practices like pre cooling, cold
storages and refrigerated transport. Pre-harvest losses due to diseases and pests can
also be minimized through better management practices;
g. Construction of shelters for cattle and development of infrastructure for storage and
transportation of dry and green fodder etc.;
h. Ensuring provision of medicines and critical health care in the risk prone areas during
drought for humans and animals;
i. Ensuring efficient functioning of the PDS in drought affected areas;
j. Provision of adequate infrastructure for dissemination of weather based advisories to
the farming community on real-time basis in regional languages through extension
machineries;
k. Providing credit promptly in the drought affected areas and extending marketing and
price support to farmers;
l. Insurance products need to be developed for different agro-climatic zones providing

coverage against drought. The Central/State Governments need to promote,
agricultural insurance programmes and ensure that farmers are informed about the
availability of insurance products and educate them about the need for managing their
yield and income risks through insurance coverage;
m. Identifying, procuring and keeping in readiness drought proofing materials in

required quantities before the onset of monsoon season such as :- Seed & fodder Plan
(including alternative varieties, mini kits etc. keeping in view the impending drought);

District Authority has plan the Drought Preparedness.

Administrative Preparedness : All the 3 Tahsildars have been inspired and
instructed to form groups of Village Accountants, Revenue Inspectors, Deputy
Tahsildars, wherever nodal officers are available and to identify the vulnerable areas and
also to plan for the local publicity at the time of such incidents. The taluk level officers like
Executive Officer, Asst. Executive Engineers, Block Educational Officers and all other
departments are also asked to be in our team to provide necessary help to provide
shelter, food, repairs of roads, culverts, etc., wherever required. Karnataka Power
Transmission Corporation Ltd., GESCOM, Medical Staff and Municipality or Panchayath
Staff has been asked to extend their services, within their limits. Almost all the social
workers, NGOs and the likeminded people have been asked to provide their services
in times of need.
All the officers were kept in touch with the DDM Heads, both in taluk and
district level. Police, Home guards were kept in red alert especially in project areas
and on river banks. And also to identify the places where rehabilitation camps are to
be opened, facilities to provide drinking water, food providing facility and areas
available resources are to be identified. Medical facilities, NGO assistance, maintenance
of cattle, open space for all their activities are also to be kept in mind in identifying the
mitigation plan. The slum areas, the people living in low line areas, backwater level areas
were kept in mind, and high alert and wide publicity arrangements were also made.
Mitigation Plan for Drought:- Agriculture Department is entrusted with a task of
developing drought resistant verities, alternate cropping pattern, fodder reserves
(dry) and information dissemination mechanism. Urban local bodies and Gram
panchayaths are equipped with assured drinking water supply systems. Food gowdons
have been identified at reachable distances. Medical and Veterinary officers are included
in mitigation teams to deal with issues related to health and nutrition. List of vehicles to
be used for supply of food, fodder and medicines is kept prepared. Auxiliary
nursing matrons are entrusted with a task of preparing a list of vulnerable groups
like women, children, senior citizen, infants and nursing mothers.
Non-Structural Mitigation Measures for Drought:- For creating an enabling environment
for the mitigation measures existing laws including the following (illustrative) would need to be
considered/reviewed/updated:-
i. Revisiting Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act/Operational
Guidelines of MGNREGS to include/strengthen drought mitigation measures;
ii. Updating of State Scarcity Relief Manuals which replaced the erstwhile famine codes on
the lines of Manual for Drought Management at National level;
iii. Establishing a definite procedure and fixing of time frame for attending to drought relief
measures;
iv. Establishing an appropriate water regulatory regime in consultation with the States;
and
v. Empowerment of Panchayats, Municipalities, Local bodies and inclusion of drought
mitigation measures as part of their role in Eleventh and Twelfth Schedules of
Constitution of India.

Mitigation Plan for Road Accidents:- Road Accident is a major killer and takes
place without warning. Rate on road accidents, are ported indicate that 70% of road
accidents, areas from drivers negligence. Some other reasons are poor road condition,
heavy traffic, poor vehicle maintenance possible impacts of accident of individuals are
loss of life, Trauma Care & burns.
1. The provisions of Motor Vehicles Act and other related legislation's and
regulations are strictly enforced.
2. Adequate Highway and traffic Aid post will be created.
3. Trauma Care Centers shall be established at every 100 kms. On the National and State
Highway.
4. Speed monitoring equipments and computerization of movement of vehicles with
adequate checkpoints on the National Highway will be introduced.
5. Fixation of timings to the passenger vehicles to avoid and traffic fan. Identify and
designate routes and fixing the time for transportation of hazardous chemicals
and other materials.
6. Prohibit the parking of vehicles on National Highway and State Highway.
7. Excavation on roads will be protected well particularly in the night with barricades
fluorescent signs and red lights.
8. PWD and National Highway department should concentrate on removal of
bottlenecks on National and State Highway.
9. Efforts will be made to provide road dividers on National and State Highway on
priority basis.
10. Arrangements will be made adequate embankments/reflector/proper signs on curves.
11. Arrangements will be made information signs boards giving the local of the
nearest village Police Station, Hospital, Ghat Traffic Position, Petrol pump, etc. at every
traffic aid post.
12. All two-wheeler drivers including pillion riders must always wear the right kind of
Helmet.
13. Overtaking in vehicles is regulated.
14. Frequently accidents occurring spots will be identified and precautionary
Measures will be taken.
15. Lanes will be marked for pedestrians/Cyclists.
Since accidents general result in injuries, burns or loss of life providing

emergency medical facilities is of utmost importance. Relief teams comprising medical
personnel and transport authorities have to be rushed to the spot provide first aid and
shifting the injured to the nearest hospital. Upon arrival at the accident spot the team
should immediately provide first aid to the victims and look for persons trapped inside the
vehicle. Assistance of the local police should be sought to disperse any crowds that
may hinder effective relief measures. If the magnitude of the accident is high help of
local NGOs and volunteers may be taken.

In case of major building collapse the major role is to be played by the Fire
Department with the assistance of the Police and Health Authorities. Shifting victims to
the nearby hospital should be done after providing necessary first aid. Necessary
equipment to remove debris should be kept readily available to save victims who may be
buried inside. Volunteers and NGOs must be trained properly to handle such so that
emergency relief is carried on smoothly. Fire disasters occur mainly due to carelessness
or mischief by miscreants. Preventive measures such as avoiding storage of large
quantities of combustible materials in one place, firefighting equipment in petrol filling
stations, textile, plastic, paper and wood industries should be insisted upon during
inspection by the concerned authorities. Personnel of the fire brigade are well equipped to
handle any fire hazards and regular drills and training sessions are held.
3) Earthquake Mitigation Plan:
The recent devastation in Gujarat has been an eye-opener as regards the magnitude of
loss to human life and property. Hence, the District Administration has geared up the
various Departments to effectively meet the challenge of an earthquake.
Since, earthquakes strike without forewarning and generally any measurement on the
Rector scale is usually a post operative measure, prevention in respect of earthquakes is
imperative.
The main hurdles as regards planning are as follows:
• Structural planning of individual buildings.
• Communication lines.
• Electricity and water supply.
• Health hazards.
• Loss of life, property and employment.
Preventive steps are required in the following areas:
• Public structures.
• Dams.
• Roads.
• Maintenance of health and prevention of epidemic diseases.
Since, earthquakes are natural calamities dissemination of proper information,
awareness, stocking of proper machinery and equipment are the prerequisites to tackle
such a situation.

4) Mitigation Plan for the forest fire :- Fire plays a very critical role in the habitat
management. Forests are very valuable in this district and form a major portion of the area
.One of the main factors that have accelerated the degradation of forest cover is the
occurrence of fire which has almost become an annual feature. The glaziers, firewood and
MFP collectors and tourists tend to set fire deliberately or by accident. Smugglers and
poachers also set fire to the forest to divert the attention of field staff. Due to the forest
fire the natural regeneration is lost and the forests are deprived of rich humus. Wild
animals particularly herbivores and reptiles are the worst sufferers for want of green
foliages while innumerable soil fauna will be destroyed , which play a very important role
in maintaining the ecological balance by decomposing and releasing energy from dead
plant and animals. Hence preventive and fire control measures have been given much
importance in the habitat development.
Probable causes for forest fires :- The forest areas are susceptible for fire in the months
of January to end of June i.e. the summer season. Considerable damage takes place every
year due to the ground fire that occurs in the forests. The leaves which fall on the
ground is the fuel for fire. Also the grass dries because of sunlight & becomes fuel to the
fire. Also dried bamboos in the forests act as fuel to the fire. Plantation which are raised are
also susceptible to the fire and at the initial stages if there is fire then the plantation itself
fail and causes heavy loss. In the high forests the regeneration is severely affected. The
humus is also burns & causes losses of Carbon & fertility of soil, there is also
resultant compaction of soil and consequent poor porosity. Further forest regeneration
is also affected. The fire also affects the former and the young regeneration of the forest
and destroys. Medicinalplants & rare herbs. Normally the fire occurs intentionally by the
villagers for the purpose of getting fresh grass for the purpose of grazing. There are
accidental fires due to negligence of the nearby villagers & Poachers. The fires are
controlled immediately by fire watchers & staff with the assistance of villagers.

5) Mitigation Plan for Floods:- Floods caused extensive damage to human, animal and
plant life. Flood result in rendering many people homeless leading to devastation and total
chaos to lack of communication and means of transportation. Yadgir district is vulnerable
to floods due to breach of dams. There is a major dam of Krishna & Bheema situated in the
district.
These dam and Hagari sites are thoroughly studied by the scientist and Engineers and
ensured the safety of the construction at the time of foundation. Still precautionary
measures have to be taken to mitigate the disaster.
Existing facilities :- Facilities available in the villages in the flood plain zone and also
villages on higher elevations nearby have been identified. These facilities are in the form
of school buildings, panchayat buildings land temples. In case of emergency such buildings
will be mobilized to serve as shelters temporarily. In addition requirement of tents has
also been assessed. Sources who can supply tents at a very short notice have been
identified. Depending upon the need of the hour external relief will be mobilized.
Time of travel of flood wave from the time of occurrence of disaster is assessed in the
Study of Dam breaks analysis. The minimum time available at the nearest
habilitation is about ½ an hour. Transport requirement for emergency evacuation has
been assessed. Keeping in view, the time available at respective locations, required
transport facilities can be mobilized through transport department.
Number of boats and coracles available and their locations have been identified and
are enlisted in chapter-logistics. These can be put to service at short notice. In case of
extreme emergency, machine boat services will also be mobilized. Such facilities are
available and can reach the spots within about 3 hours. During such situations
maintenance of law and order is very important. Help of police and home guards will
be taken. There are number of police stations and police out posts in the nearby areas.
District administration will be informed to keep some additional force during the monsoon
season. If need be help will be taken of the reserve police force, stationed at district
head quarters. As evacuation during emergency has to be carried out immediately,
the flood reaches a particular village such operation may be required to be done round the
clock. For operation during night, illumination in the villages is very important. These are
n surety of uninterrupted power supply. Therefore, alternate lighting arrangements are
necessary. It is proposed to mobilize, LPG lanterns, petro maxes, etc., in addition,
advantage will be taken of the head lights of transport vehicles.
In the nearby taluk head quarters, there are fair price shops. The
Revenue Department will be requested to keep extra stock of food grains and
kerosene, so as to mobilize the same for the affected villages in case of
emergency. From the taluk headquarters transportation can be done within a period of 2
hours.
At the taluk headquarters there are primary health centers and so also in big
villages. During the monsoon season and in case of emergency medical facility and
help can be mobilized. The distances are such that within two hours site can be
reached. In addition there are private medical practitioners in almost all the villages.
These can be mobilized for providing first aid in case of an emergency.

Industries
• Large and medium industries are also located close to the villages. But, the large
industries are having comprehensive buffer zone surrounding their plants within their
complexes. None of these industries were having properly developed green belt around
them. Noise, generated by these plants is not having significant impact at their
peripheries during day time. Hence, Residential locations, grown up contemporarily
along the periphery of these industries and nearby villages are not having significant
impacts during day time due to this noise.
• For further mitigation of noise, during night time, these industries should develop
proper green belt on their buffer zones.
Traffic:
• In Yadgir district, noise generated by traffic for ore transportation is the major issue of
concern, particularly on State Highways (SH). Villages are situated along the SH.
Residents of these villages are fully exposed to and highly affected by the
transportation noise. Broken and pathetic conditions of the roads result in congestion
of slow traffic on these SH. Thereby; frequent horning by them creates chaos in acoustic
environment, almost unbearable for the local residents.
• To minimize adverse impacts on the inhabitants all along the roadsides, which are
being used by the transport agencies, the state/local authorities should explore the
possibility of diverting this traffic by constructing a bye-pass road to be exclusively
used for the purpose. Alternate railway routes may also be established.
• The concerned authorities should undertake and monitor the implementation of

roadside plantation programme.

CHAPTR-6
RESPONSE PLAN
The response plan has been prepared with an aim of reducing to a great extent the response
time to any disaster. This in turn will minimize the extent of damage and sufferings to
human/animal life and infrastructure considerably. The plan enables all those involved in rescue
and relief to know exactly their roles, about available resources, structure etc. and with whom
they have to co-ordinate.
Inter departmental co-ordination weekly meetings are planned to reduce field level problems
and to impart knowledge on standard operating procedures. Local engineers of PWD PRED,
irrigation dept. have been asked to be in red alert to assess the damage and to
immediately repair/ make alternate arrangements in their area without waiting for procedural
aspects. Logistics arrangements for rescue operation has been put in place, including
animal care and management of the deceased.
Relief and Rescue Operation
Rescue work will be taken up by the local police, home-guards, fire force along with local
villagers and volunteers.
In case severe distress due to natural calamities like high flood or earthquake,
emergent relief such as temporary shelter, rice, dal, potato, salt, kerosene,
matchboxes, toothpaste soap, milk, clothing, blanket, etc., will be arranged from the identified
traders and sources.
Immediate response acts
➢ Inform the core committee members to swing into action.

➢ Summon the fire brigade.
➢ Inform Road Transport Authorities to stop movement of vehicle.
➢ Mobilize volunteers, youth, sportsmen, social service workers, Ex-servicemen, Medical
personal.
➢ Make shift arrangements for temporary shelters to displaced persons
➢ Providing water and food to the affected.

In all taluk face drinking water problem in case of rainfall deficit. panchayat and
municipalities in the district are advised to repair the bore wells and pipelines which are
not in good condition. New bore wells are drilled in such areas under Auxillirated drinking
water supply scheme through ZP engineering dept. Awareness should be created in the public
not to waste the water and bore wells points to dig the new bore wells have been identified
Places to open the ghoshalas in holbi headquarters have been identified. If need be the fodder
will be procured from Yadgir district. Food grains are stored in the KSFC and FCI gowdons.
The list of such gowdons in the district and storage capacity has been worked out
already by the district administration. Usually the people from Shahapur, Sorapur, &
Yadgir taluk will leave the villages in search of employment at the time of drought.
Hence the list of tanks which are to be desalted, the amount required, number of labors to be
employed has been prepared. The Grama Panchayats are advised to get the list of the laborers
that usually will go in search of employment.
Drought Monitoring
Since the District is prone to frequent droughts, emphasis is laid on monitoring the
situation during droughts. Identification of drought-prone villages and taluks has been done and
contingent plans have been worked out.
The following steps have been taken on a regular basis by the District Administration
through Panchayat Offices to combat the menace of drought:
▪ Digging of bore wells.
▪ Providing hand pumps and motor pumps wherever required.
▪ Repair of existing hand pumps and motor pumps.
▪ Digging of wells.
▪ De-silting of wells, tank beds.
▪ Providing pipelines for supply of water.
▪ Providing water to problems areas through water tankers and other means.
▪ Providing water storage facilities at all block levels.
Since water contamination and water borne diseases can cause health hazards precautions are
taken to ensure that drinking water is properly purified before consumption. The District Health
officials and the ZP Department monitor supply of drinking water and ensure that there is no
scope for water contamination.

PROVIDING FOOD AND FODDER DURING DROUGHT
Since drought has a cyclic effect there is a drain on resources such as food, water,
employment, etc., as there is inadequate soil moisture there is shortage of food and fodder.
The focus during drought would be on the following vital areas:
▪ Water conservation.
▪ Supply of essential commodities.
▪ Employment generation.
▪ Early warning systems.
▪ Health care.
▪ Water supply to remote areas by tankers etc.
▪ Emphasis on the poorer classes of society.
▪ Priority to drinking water over irrigation.
▪ Training to NGO’s Volunteers and youth.
The following Action Plan has been formulated by the District Administration to deal with the
situation of drought.
Contingency plan prepared in co-ordination with the Water Supply Department, ZP, TP,
Municipal Corporations, Irrigation Department and Health Department to ensure availability of
adequate quantity of drinking water.
Food: Department of Food and Civil Supplies is in readiness to face any situation of drought
and has maintained stock register of availability of food grains.
Health: Department of Health has trained personnel on its rolls to deal with situation of drought
and forms an important organ of the Core Committee.
Fodder: An adequate step taken to ensure that fodder for cattle is stored in case of impending
drought.
Veterinary Facilities: Veterinary Department has been instructed to store adequate stock of
medicines to save lives of cattle and live stock.

House damage in the wake of major disaster in the rural areas presents 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 vulnerable prone areas of these
villages. Rehabilitations schemes are undertaken to provide housing to as many people as
possible after a devastating disasters. Such houses are either to be located on the land
allotted by the government or in their own safe land.
• Taluk Panchayat Officer and Engineers could visit the sites suitable for housing
purposes in a village during normal times and if the people living in vulnerable prone
areas are willing to shift to new sites. They can obtain their willingness in writing and
furnish such lists to the AC/DC.
• The house shall be built according to the requirement of beneficiaries and their
pattern of living subject to financial limitation. The people must involve themselves in
the housing programme.
• For this purpose, facilities available under Ashraya, Indira Awaas Yojana schemes
etc., should be availed of.
RESTORATION:- 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.

:: CONCLUSION ::
When Disaster strikes, power goes out and all most communication (telephone etc)
becomes in operable, lifts stop functioning drinking water becomes contaminated, roads
and bridges collapse, thereby normal modes of transportation suddenly becomes
impossible and casualties start coming in groups. That is not the time for planning but is
the time for acting. This fact makes it imperative for community disaster preparedness
and disaster reduction. There is need for amending, enacting and affectively enforcing the
relief operations in providing immediate relief by disbursing cash and kind to officers
designated for relief measures. Constructing new buildings safe from the disasters and
retrofitting existing buildings for improving disaster resistance. Community shelters near
by the river bed at a higher level have to be constructed as a standby to enable to shift the
people affected by flood.
Need for change of strategy from post-disaster reactive approach to pre-disaster

pro-active approach to reduce the damage, loses to the property and human suffering
along with prevention of human lives on one hand and reduce the cost of relief,
rehabilitation and reconstruction on the other hand.
No master plan can be evolved to fit every emergency situation but a general
schedule of emergency activity could prove extremely helpful in times of disaster, if
executed in a coordinated and disciplined fashion. The better awareness for disaster
preparedness and mitigation is expected to result in coordinated extensive efforts to
ensure better disaster management.
