1 Introduction
1.1 General Information
The district of Gurugram has been in existence since the times of Mahabharata. It was
earlier known as Guru-gram, a name derived from the name of Guru Dronacharya. In the
course of time the name got distorted to Gurugram. With decay of Mughal Empire, the
district remained in a turbulent state till 1803 AD and thereafter most of it came under the
British rule through the treaty of Surji Arjungaon with Sindhiya. In Later on in 1861 the
district was rearranged into five tehsils Gurugram, F.P. Jhirka, Nuh, Palwal and Rewari.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century various changes have occurred in the territorial
composition of the district. In 1912, a part of Ballabhgarh tehsil was transferred to Gurugram
district. Under the province and state order 1950, 9 villages of the district including
Shahjahanpur were transferred to Rajasthan, and with merger of Pataudi State it gained two
villages from Rajasthan and 78 villages from PEPSU. In 1972, Rewari tehsil was removed
from Gurugram and got included in Mahendragarh district. In 1934, thrity four villages were
excluded from Palwal tehsil. On 15 August, 1979, a new district Faridabad, consisting of
tehsils of Ballabhgarh and Palwal, was formed out of Gurugram district. On 4th April, 2005,
Mewat district has been carved out of Gurugram district.

Delhi ridge forms the eastern boundary of the district. These hills are northern continuation of
4
Aravalli hills. The north-western part of the district is covered with sand dunes lying in the
westerly direction due to south-western winds.
1.3.1 Drainage Pattern
The drainage of the District is typical of the arid and semi arid areas. It comprises of large
depressions and streams. The drainage is peculiarly complex owing to most of the streams
tending to converge towards inland depressions instead of flowing into Yamuna. The

Indrori are two important seasonal streams of the district.
1.3.2 Soil

84.2 % of total geographical area. The alluvium in the area comprises silt, sand, gravel, clay
and kankar.
1.3.3 Sand Dunes
Strong winds carry sand and silt, forming dunes, from adjacent Rajasthan to this area with the
prevailing wind conditions. These sand dunes are seen in the whole of the area but are more
conspicuous in the area between Pataudi, Farukhnagar and Garhi Harsru and attain heights of
3-6m in general. The dune sand is generally well sorted, found fine to medium grained and
comprises quartz, ferromagnesian minerals, tiny flakes of mica with small particles of kankar.
The sand is loose and dunes keep shifting their positions depending upon the prevailing wind
condition.

Figure.2.1: Earthquakes of M>2.5 in the grid 28-30 Deg N and 76-78 Deg E during 01.01.2001 to 15.06.2020 with tectonic features
The Delhi-Gurugaon region is surrounding with various major active faults namely Delhi-
Hardwar Ridge, Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault (MDF), Delhi Sargodha Ridge (DSR),
Mathura Fault (MF) and Great Boundary Fault (GBF). The Sohna Fault (SF) passes very
close to Gurugram (Figure-2.1).
In addition, the Himalayan active belt - Main Boundary Fault and Main Central Thrust to
the north of Gurugram; and Hindukush region in Afghanistan are also the sources of
strong earthquakes, affecting the Northern part of the country including Gurugram- Delhi
region. The Gurugram has experienced an earthquake of magnitude 4.8 on 27.08.1960.
At present, National Centre for Seismology (NCS), an attached office of Ministry of earth
Sciences (MoES), Government of India, is maintaining a country wide network of 115
seismological observatories spread across the country. Out of total 115, nine (9)
permanent seismological observatories are located in Haryana at Bahadurgarh, Ganaur,
Jhajjar, Kumdal, Kurukshetra, Palwal, Rohtak, Sohna, and Pataudi. All these
observatories are equipped state-of-the-art broadband seismograph and accelerograph
20
digital recording system with real time connectivity through VSAT to Operational Centre
at NCS HQ, New Delhi, for continuous monitoring of earthquake activity on 24x7 basis.
The map showing the location of earthquakes occurred in and around Gurugram district
for the period 01.01.2000 to 23.06.2020 is given in Figure-2.2
Figure-2.2 Epicenters of earthquakes (M:2.0 and above) from 01.01.2000 to 23.06.2020
2.1.2 Flood
The main cause of floods in the district can be attributed to its heterogenous topography consisting of
hillocks, valleys, big and small lands locked depressions and undulated terrain. There is no perennial
river flowing in the district, however, a number of ‘Barsati Nallahs/ hill torrents’ cris cross the entire
district. The main cause of flood in Gurugram district is Sabi and Indori rivers originating in
Rajasthan. Besides these, rapid urbanization in the district has also lead to heavy pressure of
infrastructural development over the natural drainage system, again leading to urban flooding.
Sabi River is a powerful seasonal stream which originates in the Aravali ranges and enters Pataudi
and Gurugram tehsil from Rewari. It is notorious for flashfloods as it flows on ground level and keeps
changing its course every year. There are a number of rivulets in Rajasthan area, which ultimately fall
in Sabi River. During heavy rains in catchment areas there is always a danger of breach of bandhs
over these rivulets further aggravating the Sabi river. Spread of water in Najafgarh Jheel also affects
about 15 villages of Tehsil Gurugram. In Pataudi Tehsil, Sabi flows under Delhi-Bikaner section of
21
Northern Railway. Sabi brings and carries a large quantity of sand along with it, resulting in silting of
culverts/bridges under the railway track reducing their discharge capacity to a great extent which
results in a possibility of either accumulation of large quantity of water on the Southern side of the
railway track or even breach of the railway track at many places. During 1977 floods, a large quantity
of Sabi water was accumulated on one side of the railway track and also breached the railway line
at a number of places, leaving severe damages to villages falling down-stream of Khalilpur
Railway station. Pataudi -Rewari road (running parallel to the railway track) was also breached at
number of places.
A barrage namely ‘Massani Barrage’’ has been constructed on Sabi Nadi by H.N.A. Irrigation
Department near village Dharuhera on Delhi Jaipur National Highway in district Rewari, for the
storage of water for irrigation purpose besides moderation of flood caused by Sabi Nadi. Indori river
is also a hill torrent which orginates in the hilly tract of Rajasthan falling between Tauru and Tijara.
During the season of heavy rain-fall in the catchment area there is always a danger of breach of
bandhs over this rivulet resulting in flooding of about twenty villages of Pataudi Tehsil.
2.1.3 Drought
Rapid industrialization, urbanization and withdrawal of huge ground water are leading factors for the
occurrence of drought in Gurugram district. Agriculture activities are affected due to various
conditions during the drought such as delayed onset of monsoon and long dry spell often leads to light
textured sandy soil susceptible to wind erosion, delayed/ limited release of water in canals due to low
rainfall, non release of water in canals due to delayed monsoon in catchment, lack of inflows into
tanks due to insufficient /delayed onset of monsoon, insufficient groundwater recharge due to low
rainfall; thus leading to situation of hydrological and agriculture drought due to prolonged
meteorological drought. This results in situation of lack or shortage of feed and fodder, drinking
water, etc.
The average occurrence of drought is 3 years. Mild drought was observed in 1981 which resulted in
stunted growth of paddy and low kharif production. In 1982, the droughts were much severe because
of the early withdrawal of rains. Worst droughts were faced during 1986 and 1987.
In the year 2012, Gurugram has witnessed a departure of -13% from its long period averages, a
departure of -96% in month of June, a departure of -30% in the month of July, a departure of 27% in
the month of August and a departure of -21% in the month of September.
2.1.4 Epidemics
Epidemics pose a great threat to the district of Gurugram. The outbreaks of COVID-19, dengue,
diarrhea and malaria are prevalent in the district of Gurugram and have affected both rural and urban
areas of the district. The COVID-19 has been declared as pandemic by World Health Organization
and National Disaster Management Authority, Govt. of India being satisfied that the district
Gurugram is threaned to with COVID-19 pandemic. Gurugram has also experienced sporadic outburst
of chikungunya, swine flu, measles, JE, viral fever, gastrotites, hepatitis E, cholera, etc over the years.
Various outbreaks in the district from 2006 to Oct. 2020 have been tabulated in table 2.2.

2.1.5 Extreme Temperatures
Gurugram district faces extreme temperatures during both summer and winter seasons. The
temperature goes as high as 45̊C in month of June while as low as 3-4̊ during January. This poses a
major threat to homeless and poor population without much means to deal with extreme temperatures.
The district also witnesses a substantial number of deaths by heat stroke every year. The impact of
extreme temperature is also seen in birds and animals. In June 2012, around 8-12 peacocks died in
Hasanpur village due to heat stroke.
2.1.6 Hailstorm
The district has witnessed hailstorm in the year 2006. Hailstorm has adverse impact on agricultural
activities, crops, cattle and also affects poor and homeless population.
2.1.7 Fire
Fire is very common in both rural and urban areas of the district due to varied causes. In rural areas,
the common cause of fire outbreak is negligence while in urban areas, fire incidents are mainly due to
short circuits. Most of the reported accidents are in the city of Gurugram and that in Manesar area in
various commercial units, factories or industrial units. These are mainly electrical short circuit fires,
kitchen fires, chemical fires due to careless practices while handling and storage of inflammable
materials. At the same time, there are also incidents of breakout of fire in jhuggies due to various
negligence issues.

2.1.8 Industrial & Chemical Hazards
Gurugram district has ten major accident hazard (MAH) units. Out of these, nine are automobile units
engage in either scooter and car manufacturing or engine parts while one unit is a bottling plant of
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) is the major hazardous
chemical stored in these factories. Other chemicals such as gasoline, high speed diesel (HSD),
Furnace Oil (FO) are also stored in smaller quantities mainly for use in utilities and power generation.
The automobile companies utilize LPG/Propane for their paint shop/casting. The MAH units are
spread over Gurugram and Manesar area. Units with mounded propane or LPG installations have a
potential threat in terms of vapour cloud explosions through the release of propane and LPG from
safety release valves or vents. There is also possibility of incidents involving release during unloading
operations. The details of MAH units in Gurugram district handling LPG are as in table 2.3.
Apart from MAH there are various industries and production units in Gurugram district. The district
has industrial model township (IMT) located in Manesar on NH-8which houses various automobile
industries, readymade garments, packaging industries, etc. Udyog Vihar located on NH-8 is an
industrial estate in the district and has various electrical, pharmaceutical, auto parts/ components and
readymade garments industries. The presence of various industries and factories in the district makes
it highly prone to various potential industrial and chemical accidents like fire, spillage, explosion,
leakage, etc. during chemical processing, manufacturing, storage, transport and disposal of toxic
waste/ hazardous material. The district is also in close proximity of Bawal industrial area of Rewari
district and Bhiwadi industrial area of Alwar district of Rajasthan; thus further making it prone to
various industries and chemical hazards.
The district is very well connected with the industrial areas in neighbouring districts and states. This
results in regular transportation of large quantity of chemicals and hazardous materials, thus further
increasing a threat of chemical accidents.

2.1.9 Accident
2.1.9.1 Road Accident
The traffic circulation pattern within Gurugram city was designed for a smaller population. Over the
last two decades, due to explosive growth in infrastructure, improved road system such as flyover,
express way, state and national highways, the number of vehicles has increased exponentially. Such
smooth infrastructure also allows the public to speed up leading to more number of accidents. The
total number of road accidents in the district during 2018 and 2019 is as below:

2.1.9.2 Rail Accident

There are ten railway stations in the district. Due to this, there are chances of rail accidents. Accidents
are also possible by negligence of people who are not following rules at railway crossings or who let
their cattle roam and graze near railway track.
2.1.9.3 Air Accident
An aircraft crashed on 25 May 1958 during a forced landing at Gurugram after an engine had caught
fire en route from Karachi to Delhi. Four of the five occupants of the aircraft were killed.
Due to close proximity of Gurugram city to Indira Gandhi International Airport, a large number of
flights regularly hover over the Gurugram city. The city has numerous tall buildings, malls and offices
thus making it prone to air accidents during take-off, landing during bad weather conditions or air
traffic issues
2.1.9.4 Other Accidents
Apart from road, rail and air accidents, the district of Gurugram is also prone to building collapse,
bore well related accidents, etc. In 2008, there was a major building collapse of a house in Chandan
Nagar and in 2011, an under- construction building of 6 floors in Phase-I, Udyog Vihar collapsed
leading to death of two guards after 6 days. There have been various incidents of children falling and
getting stuck in abandoned and open bore well for hours before the rescue operations could be
completed. One such recent incident occurred
in June, 2012 in Kho Village of Manesar leading to death of a four year girl. Another such incident
happened on August, 2008 in Village Choma of Gurugram where a two and a half year old boy was
rescued from the bore well.

2.1.10 Terrorist Attack
Gurugram is one of the major outsourcing hubs in India. During the last two decades, it has seen rapid
development in real estate and houses various multi-national companies and corporate houses leading
to enormous employment opportunities. Thus, Gurugram has emerged as a corporate capital, making
it highly vulnerable to terrorist activities and bomb blasts. Also owing to its presence in National
Capital Region, it is further prone to such activities.
The various crowded places like that of railway station, bus stand, malls, market areas, mini
secretariat, etc are prone to such threats.
2.2 Hazard Seasonality Map
Hazards like flood, drought and extreme temperatures have a seasonal occurrence while hazards like
earthquake along with various man-made hazards can occur at any point of time of a year. Though
hazards like road and railways accidents can occur at any time of year, they become more common
during month of December and January due to low visibility during fog period.
Thus hazard seasonality map of Gurugram district is made based on the history of occurrence of
various disasters in district and also on the possibility of occurrence of hazards in future. Table 2.6
displays possibility of occurrence of these hazards. The table also differentiates month-wise
occurrence of these hazards by a scale of high, moderate and low/ negligible probability.

2.3 Vulnerability Analysis
For the last two decades, Gurugram district has been on the faster pace of the development and has
emerged as the industrial and financial hub of Haryana. There are multiple types of vulnerabilities
present in Gurugram district owing to varied roots causes like high population growth, rapid-
urbanization, increasing industrialization, rapid development within high risk seismic zone,
environmental degradation, etc. These vulnerabilities have been categorized in four major types,
namely, social, physical, economic and environmental vulnerability.
2.3.1 Physical Vulnerability
Geographical location of communities in and near the hazardous locations or infrastructures gives rise
to their physical vulnerability. These locations include flood prone area, communities residing in and
around MAH units and other chemical installations, etc. Apart from location, improper condition of
infrastructures and inappropriate materials used for construction further adds to physical vulnerability.
Table 2.7 shows conditions of houses in the district. Considering a family size of 5 persons, close to
59610 and 489545 people are residing in dilapidated and livable condition in a district which is prone
to multiple hazards and lie in high risk seismic zone IV.
Table 2.7: Conditions of Houses in Gurugram

Condition Rural Urban Total
Good 50466 159410 209876
Livable 34495 63414 97909
Dilapidated 2858 9064 11922
Total 87819 231888 319707
Fig 2.3 shows in percentage, types of houses in the district. This highlights that around 34% of the
houses in the district are in livable and dilapidated conditions.
According to 2011 Census (P), close to 20,000 houses are made of grass, thatch, bamboo, plastic,
polythene, mud, unburnt brick, stone not packed with mortar and sheet. These are type A building and
are extremely prone to building collapse, earthquake and extreme weather conditions. Owing to
presence of district in seismic zone IV with shaking intensity VIII, such structures are prone to grade
4 damages which include destruction gaps in walls, collapse of parts of buildings, loss of cohesion in
separate parts of the buildings and collapse of inner walls.

2.3.2 Social Vulnerability

There are various conditions determined by social factors or processes prevalent in Gurugram district
which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards. These include gender, age,
caste and disabilities.
a. Age
The vulnerable age groups are that of 0-6 years and old age people. According to 2001 census, 0-6
age group population was 15.54 % of the district population which has reduced to 13.07% of district
population as per 2011 census. Children of this age group along with adolescent girls have their
special needs for diet, sanitation, hygiene, safety and security. These needs aggravate further during
disaster situation, particularly post disaster during relief and response. Children, particularly,
adolescent girls also become further vulnerable to human trafficking and forced prostitution.
Old age people are also vulnerable because of their limited physical strength, possible dependence on
their families. Old age people also have their special needs like that of special medicines, spectacles
and other aids, special diet. The dependence on others for these needs make this age group vulnerable
during normal and particularly disaster situation.
b. Gender
Females of all age groups are part of vulnerable population because of safety and security reasons.
The district has alarming cases of rapes and molestation. During 2011 and 2012, around 12 and 16
cases have been respectively reported in the district. These are only the reported cases; many of these
don’t come to light due to stigma issues. Safety and security of females is also of great concern in post
disaster situations when relief camps are over-crowded, law and order conditions are under stress, etc.
These make females vulnerable to human trafficking, forced prostitutions, rapes, molestation and
sexual abuse.
Another alarming issue is low sex ratio of the district. According to 2011 census, the sex ratio of the
district is 853 which shows slight increase from that of 2001 census when sex ratio was 850. This is
still low in comparison to sex ratio of Haryana state which is 877 which itself is fifth lowest amongst
Indian states. Sex ratio in 0-6 age group is further low at 826. The same is 797 in rural areas while 842
in urban areas. Sex ratio of 0-6 age group population residing in slum areas is further low at 677;
hinting at worse situation in slum areas of the district and thus also highlighting number of illegal
cases of female feticide taking place in urban slum areas.
Female literacy rate of 77.64% is also much low compared to male literacy rate of 90.27%. This is a
major factor of females being a vulnerable group as far as financial dependence on their male
counterpart is concerned. Out of a total number of 3,20,642 households in the Gurugram district, only
around 25,955 are female headed households among which 4,222 are scheduled caste female headed
households. This also highlights dependence of female on their male counterparts and is a point of
concern as the compensation and relief usually is given on the name of head of households.
c. Caste
According to 2011 census (P), Gurugram district has the lowest SC population which is 11.3% of the
district population. The major scheduled castes prevalent in the district are Chamar, Balmiki and Kori.
Vulnerability of SC population is further aggravated by physical vulnerabilities the population is
residing in. Fig 2.4 shows that more than 50% of the SC population lives in livable and dilapidated
structures. This is alarming considering the fact that Gurugram district lies in high risk seismic zone
IV

d. Disabilities
Disability adds to vulnerability of a person as it reduces or limits the physical ability of the person to
certain extent. Sometimes they also face social stigma and non-acceptance in the society. During a
disaster situation, their conditions become worse if their aids (hearing, visual, etc) get lost or
damaged. They also have special needs in order to access public utilities and other facilities. Table 2.8
provides details of disabled population of the district.

Speech related disability 1875
Hearing related disability 2243
Movement related disability 10541

2.3.3 Economic Vulnerability

The low income group population faces challenges to live a life of dignity with all daily needs well
met. Their low income status sometimes also forces them to choose cheap housing in vulnerable areas
or occupation in hazardous units. According to 2001 census, around 33570 people which is around
16.64% of district population resides in slums. The 0-6 sex ratio among the slum population is 677
which is an alarming state for the district. This population has limited opportunities for education,
occupation, and health facilities. It makes the population also vulnerable to various health and hygiene
hazards, making them socially vulnerable.

During 2011, income of agricultural labourers to plough is Rs 200, to sow is Rs 200, and to harvest is
Rs 150. Apart from this a large number of people are also involved in unorganized sector for their
33
living. Such population becomes highly vulnerable during disaster due to any damage or impact on
market condition, production units, road or logistics network support, equipments, etc.
Over the last two decades, Gurugram has emerged as a commercial hub of the state. It is also a hub of
major telecom companies, MNCs, automobile manufacturing, garments, various industries and plenty
shopping malls. Gurugram generates around 60% of Haryana’s revenue. Considering the hazard
profile of Gurugram, the district and hence the state has high economic vulnerability in case any
major disaster strikes this commercial hub of the state and commercial capital of NCR.
2.3.4 Environmental Vulnerability
a. Rapid Urbanization
The number of villages in the district has reduced from 281 to 242 in the last decade, according to
census 2011 (P). The growth in rural population from 2001 to 2011 is 15.82% while that in urban
population is 236.45%. This clearly is a case of rapid urbanization over a last decade. A large number
of factories and industries have come up in the district leading to huge amount of pollution and
environment degradation. Many MNCs and other companies have also come up in the district; thus
attracting huge masses for employment. This has further increased the burden on transport, ground
water and housing infrastructure. Number of vehicles in the district has also substantially increased
over the last decade leading to increase in air and sound pollution.
b. Ground Water
The shallow ground water of the district is alkaline in nature (pH 7.25 to 8.13) and is moderately to
highly saline. According to permissible limits of Bureau of Indian Standards, ground water is mostly
unsuitable for drinking purposes in 88% of wells mainly due to high nitrate and fluoride contents that
exceed the maximum permissible limits of these parameters which are 45 mg/l and 1.5mg/l
respectively. Decline of ground water and salinity is a major problem in the district. Ground water is
declining at a rate with the range of 0.77m/yr (Bilaspur) to 1.2 m/yr (Haily Mandi). All the blocks in
district are over exploited.
2.4 Capacity Analysis
Capacity refers to the resources that are present in the district and can be used during peace time or
disaster situation for various activities and services like that of search and rescue, first aid, medical
response, etc. These capacities include trained human resources, equipments, critical life saving
facilities and infrastructure, etc. available in the district. The detailed database of resources as of 2012
is in District Disaster Management Resource Inventory, Gurugram. (Annexure X).
Thus the capacity gives an insight on the capability of the District Administration to deal with any
disaster or emergency situation using the locally available resources within the district. It also helps
the administration to strengthen its capacity by identifying or procuring resources which are important
but not available within the district. A brief of key resources available within the district is displayed
in table 2.10.

2.5 Risk Analysis
When hazard strikes at vulnerable areas or amidst vulnerable population, it leads to disasters and pose
risk to the affected area or population. At this juncture, the capacity or resources available within the
area or with the population help them cope with or reduce this risk. The possible hazards in the district
pose different level of risk depending on various factors such as frequency of occurrence, probable
impact, etc. Table 2.11 categories hazards based on the level of risk they pose (high, medium and
low). It also shows major elements at risk and the vulnerable areas for these hazards.

4 Prevention & Mitigation

Measures
Prevention can be defined as an action taken to avoid an incident or stopping an incident from
occurring. It basically includes deterrence operations and surveillance.
Mitigation measures are described as the strategies and intervention to reduce both the effect of the
hazard itself and the vulnerable conditions. Therefore mitigation activities can be focused on the
hazard itself or the elements exposed to the threat.
4.1 Structural & Non-structural Measures
Both structural and non-structural aspects are part of mitigation measures. Structural mitigation refers
to any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards. This includes engineering
measures and construction of hazard-resistant and protective structures and infrastructure. Non-
structural mitigation refers to policies, awareness, knowledge development, public commitment,
information sharing which can reduce risk.
Various prevention and mitigation measures based on NDMA Guidelines for different hazards are
discussed in table 4.1.

4.2 Existing Schemes/Projects

There are various on-going schemes and projects in Gurugram district. Some of these are particularly
targeting the vulnerable population like widows, destitute, disabled persons, pregnant women,
adolescent girls, scheduled castes, etc. Some of these schemes and projects could be used during
normal and peace time for undertaking various prevention and mitigation measures as discussed
before. Various existing schemes and projects in Gurugram district that could be used for disaster
management are mentioned in table 4.2.

4.3 Training of Human Resources

Training of human resources and thereby building the capacity of the district is another important
mitigation measure. A series of training programmes will be organized for different focused groups
like that of district level officers, sub division and community level office bearers, teachers and
principals, doctors and engineers, architects, masons, builders and contractors. Community could also
be made aware and trained on safe construction practices through various awareness, sensitization and
skill development programs. At district level, training assistance for community will be provided by
Civil Defence, District Red Cross Society and other recognized NGOs in the district. The
organizations like Civil Defence, Nehru Yuva Kendrya (NYK), NCC, NSS, etc. have a large number
of volunteers registered with them. Wardens of these bodies along with their volunteers must be
regularly trained in the district.
The strengthening of Civil Defence in the district is another important part of non structural
prevention and mitigation measures, particularly awareness generation. The Civil Defence and Home
Guards are indeed quite a helpful resource in times of emergency. They can be given awards, identity
cards, honorarium and certificates for their work so that more number of people volunteer themselves
and participate in such works.
4.4 Other Measures

4.4.1 Retrofitting
Retrofitting means reinforcement of structures to make them more resistant and resilient to the forces
of natural hazards. This involves consideration of changes in the mass, stiffness, damping, load path
and ductility of materials, as well as radical changes such as the introduction of energy absorbing
dampers and base isolation systems. Consideration of wind loading to strengthen the structure so as to
minimize the impact wind force and strengthening of structures in earthquake-prone areas are two
examples of retrofitting.
For an existing building, retrofitting or seismic strengthening is the only solution to make it disaster
resistant. The lifeline buildings within the district should primarily be retrofitted followed by other
significant buildings of the district. Retrofitting should be carried out along with a panel of experts for
assessing the structure and to suggest the type of retrofitting required.
4.4.2 Land Use Planning

Land use planning is a powerful mitigation tool as it lessens the risks and vulnerability from several
geological and other hazards. The planning and control of land use include a vast spectrum of general
policies about it, which leave determining effects and influences on programs and plans of urban
development. They also cover economic, environmental, social and political aspects. Responsible
management of the environment and its resources, and flexible and responsive development can
prevent or mitigate negative impacts.
63
The degree of effectiveness of land use planning and its efficiency in case of an earthquake, from the
time of the earthquake till the return of the city to its normalcy, are significant and determine two
indicators of vulnerability, i.e. casualties and destruction. The urban areas and the cities (i.e. the more
densely populated areas) need to be spatially planned in order to reduce the risks of the hazards.
The most important criteria for determining appropriate locations for different urban activities and
urban land use include:
i. Compatibility
ii. Comfort
iii. Efficiency
iv. Favourability
v. Health and
vi. Safety
Considering these factors in land use planning and zoning improves efficiency of the city, welfare and
comfort for the citizens, and minimizing the fatalities and economic damages as a result of the hazard.
Land use planning can minimize risk in following number of ways:
i. Prohibiting development in high-risk areas through zoning and overlay controls.

ii. Limiting the types of development in high to moderate risk areas, for recreation or other
forms of public use thereby reducing the potential impacts of natural hazard events.
iii. Applying appropriate development controls in moderate and lower risk areas, such as
minimum elevations, setbacks and lot sizes, as well as in areas of maximum densities and
maximum site coverage.
4.4.3 Enforcing Existing Codes and Laws

The list of codes and laws are and must be enforced in the district in order to prevent and mitigate the
effects of the hazards. Bureau of Indian Standards, National Building Codes of India and subsequent
amendments in various acts provides sufficient legal protection to the enforcing agencies for safe
construction practices. The National Building Codes must be strictly followed in lifeline structures
and should be immediately implemented, wherever necessary. In construction works, the civil
engineers have to follow Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to construct resistant structures. The by-
laws for control of vector-borne diseases should be implemented and strictly followed by all the
municipalities in the state of Haryana. All the concerned departments must ensure the enforcement of
existing codes.

Resource Inventory (DDMRI) for Gurugram, awareness generation programs, education, Research
and Development (R&D) and systemic training. The Deputy Commissioner, Gurugram should ensure
the following capacity-building activities for the entire district and the various Heads of Departments
should ensure capacity building of their respective departments. Furthermore the nodal officers
should, in coordination with the District HODs, procure relevant equipments for disaster management
activities.
6.1 Institutional Capacity Building
Institutional capacity building is structured upon a level-system that will be designed to bring officials
and professionals from multiple fields and skill sets at the district level. The District Disaster
Management Authority, Gurugram will utilize the abilities and expertise of representatives from

rescue operations, damage
assessment and the retrofitting of structures.
Civil engineers need to keep themselves updated about the latest research and developments in
construction technology, advances in construction materials and analysis or design procedures. Civil
engineers should also take support from other branches of engineering for the better planning,
execution and functioning of their building and infrastructure projects. Trainings to civil engineers
will be provided by CDM, HIPA. Furthermore, at the district level, civil engineers will conduct
training of masons for construction of earthquake-resistant structures. Such trainings will be

79
6.1.4 Corporates & Professionals

The National Disaster Management Framework emphasizes on the ‘involvement of corporate sector
in awareness generation and disaster preparedness and mitigation planning’. Keeping in mind the
need to mainstream disaster management concerns at multiple levels of the corporate sector, the
following steps should be taken into consideration:
i. Through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), corporates can assist in development projects,
and thus help enhance the capacity at the district-level.
ii. Conducting mock-drills at regular intervals to determine the efficacy of the disaster
management plans.
iii. Large-scale association with awareness generation initiatives aimed at building the knowledge,
attitude and skills of the common people for a safer habitat.

and resources such as maps and communication equipments including landline telephones, mobile
phones, satellite phones, walkie-talkie, ham radio, computer/laptop with printer facility, email facility,
fax machine, television, etc. In addition, it will also contain LCD monitors, printers, video-
conferencing equipment, power sources and backups, copies of plans, etc. It is crucial to strengthen
the district-level EOC. This can be done by ensuring regular training of all staff meant to be
present in the EOC.
6.3 Capacity Building at the Community Level

Capacity building at the community level includes awareness, sensitisation, orientation and
developing skills of communities and community leaders. At the district level, assistance will be
provided by consolidating the know-how and practical training provided by NDRF, Civil Defence and
NGOs, District Red Cross, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), anganwadi centres and disseminating it within
the communities and school. Multiple responsibilities within the arena of capacity-building and
training will be delegated to local authorities, PRIs and ULBs under the overall guidance of District
authorities. It is also crucial to focus on imparting training, cultivating community awareness and
ensuring skill-development among members of the community. Furthermore, capacity-building at the
community level should be done on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. This can be done by
ensuring identification of local resources and developing local infrastructure through PPP.
Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Village Contingency Planning (VCP) are
also critical for capacity building at the community-level and will be managed by the concerned
departments in the district.
6.4 Development of IEC Material
Addressing the specific requirements of vulnerable regions and the risk mitigation and preparedness
needs of identified communities, various IEC material like list of do’s and don’ts, posters, leaflets,
banners, training modules and audio visual material must be produced using capacity-building funds
of the state. The aim is to develop a large body of advocacy and awareness materials, especially in
vernacular languages, targeting vulnerable groups such as women, children, elderly, differently-
abled, and marginalized and excluded groups.

priority is to determine whether the resources are sufficient or not. If the situation is beyond the
coping capacity of community in the affected area, then a disaster shall be declared. Declaration can
be on the basis of level of disasters (L0, L1, L2 and L3) in affected area as per the NDMA guidelines.
L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilised for close monitoring, documentation,
prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. This is the planning stage where plans at all levels
from community to the State shall be put in place. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals,
evaluation and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out during this time. L1
specifies disasters that can be managed at the district level, however, the state and centre will remain
in readiness to provide assistance if needed. L2 specifies disaster situations that may require
assistance and active participation of the state and the mobilisation of resources at the state level. L3
disaster situations arise from large scale disasters where districts and the state may not have the
capacity to respond adequately, and require assistance from the central government for reinstating the
state and district machinery. Level of disaster should be based on rapid damage and needs assessment
reports (Annexure III).

82
7.2.2 Establish and Activate Incident Command Post
The ICP is the location at which primary command functions are performed. IC will be located at ICP,
and there would be only one ICP. This also applies to situations with multi-agencies or multi-
jurisdictions under unified command. ICP may be located at the headquarters. In case of total
destruction or lack of space, an ICP can be in the form of a tent or a vehicle as well.
7.2.3 Establish Staging Area
Staging area is an area where mobilised resources are collected and accounted for field operations.
These may include food, vehicles, equipments and other materials. It should be located at a suitable
site near the affected area for immediate, effective and quick deployment of resources. The overall in-
charge of staging area is Staging Area Manager (SAM) as discussed in table 3.8.
7.2.4 Establish Incident Base
All primary services and support activities are usually located and performed at the incident base; the
Logistics Section (LS) is preferably located here. The incident base may be co-located with the
Incident Command Post or other incident facilities. Normally base is the location where all
uncommitted / out-of-service equipment and personnel to support operations are located
7.2.5 Coordination
There should be proper liaison and coordination among the stakeholders involved in the
comprehensive disaster management for ensuring the implementation of the components involved in
the DDMP.
It is the responsibility of the CTM, Gurugram to liaison with concerned line departments, agencies,
NGO’s, INGO’s, CBO’s, etc. and their representatives at various locations, keeping Incident
Commander (IC) informed about arrivals of all the Government and Non-government agencies and
their resources, and organise briefing sessions of all Government and Non-government agencies with
the IC. This coordination will also involve facilitating disaster-response by addressing special needs
of services like sign language interpreters or language translators for communication and other needs.
CTM will also be responsible for management of all the VIPs and VVIPs visiting the affected area.
CTM must coordinate with police to ensure their safety and security without affecting response and
relief work.
7.3 Disaster Reporting
Importance of disaster reporting is an important aspect to maintain clear communication among

different levels of administration. This helps officers and staff to understand situation precisely and
respond effectively and efficiently. This also involves documentation of situation and maintaining its
photographs. All reports should quote facts and figures from credible sources.
7.3.1 Rapid Assessment Report
Rapid damage and needs assessment team will produce a report describing the magnitude of disaster
with respect to life loss, property loss and other urgent needs of the affected areas. This assessment
provides a base for planning response activities. This report (Annexure III) should further be
communicated to HSDMA.
83
7.3.2 Preliminary Assessment Report
This report (Annexure IV) will give an account of disaster in first 24 hours with some basic needs and
damages post-disaster.
7.3.3 Detailed Assessment Report
This report (Annexure V) highlights severity of disaster and provides detailed information on damage
and needs of the affected area. It is prepared by damage and needs assessment team and is based on
reports from departments and specialists in health, irrigation, public health infrastructure, etc. It gives
a clear picture to the District Administration for proper resource mobilization and requirement of
external help, and forms the basis of relief and rehabilitation activities. It should be prepared within
72 hours of disaster and forwarded to HSDMA.
7.3.4 Interim Report
Based on earlier reports, interim reports provide additional and more precise information, and are to
be submitted every 24 hours to DDMA. This time may vary depending upon the recipient and
activities involved, and this should be forwarded to HSDMA.
As time goes by, the emphasis of interim reports will shift from the needs for relief to the needs for
rehabilitation and reconstruction (for example, repairs to damaged structures, restoration of
agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and industrial production). It is not necessary to repeat what
has already been said in earlier reports unless the earlier details require updating. Interim reports
should provide forecasts (with inputs from specialists and people who have experience of previous
disasters) and highlight information which may not otherwise be obvious to the recipients, for
example, potential problems, changes, patterns, trends and indicators, essential component to
vulnerable group etc.
7.3.5 Final Report
It is a summary of details:
a. About the disaster
b. Management of activities
c. Lessons learnt
7.4 Emergency Support Function
Emergency support functions (ESF) are essential services for prompt and well coordinated
management of disaster. It is to be noted that each Response Branch Director (RBD) will be
responsible for the tasks assigned to his/her respective department. Table 7.1 explains the purpose of
different ESFs during any disaster. Annexure II gives detailed roles and responsibilities of
departments in various ESFs.
84

8 Reconstruction,
Rehabilitation and Recovery
The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) defines recovery as the “decisions and
actions taken after a disaster with a view to restoring or improving the pre-disaster living conditions
of the stricken community, while encouraging and facilitating necessary adjustments to reduce
disaster risk”. The process demands co-ordinated focus on multi disciplinary aspects of
reconstruction and rehabilitation for recovery and is essential to understand disaster reconstruction,
rehabilitation under the holistic framework of post disaster recovery.
8.1 Post Disaster Reconstruction

Post disaster reconstruction includes both short term and long term activities. The short term activities
refer to repair, restoration and strengthening of damaged structures, whereas long term reconstruction
activities refer to reconstruction of multi-hazards resilient housing, relocation, provision of basic
amenities etc. along with psychological, socio-economic, environmental and agronomic rehabilitation.
DDMA, Gurugram should initiate the reconstruction activities based on the details of damage
assessment. Further, on the basis of extent and type of damage to buildings (public, private,
government, etc.), district administration should initiate reconstruction measures.
8.1.1 Short Term Reconstruction Activities

a. Repair
The main purpose of repair is to bring back the architectural shape of buildings to resume their
functioning at the earliest. The following actions can be taken for repair:
1. Patching up of defects such as cracks, fall of plaster, etc.
2. Repairing doors, windows, placement of glass panes.
3. Checking and repairing electric wiring.
4. Checking and repairing gas pipes, water pipes, sewerage and other plumbing services.
5. Repairing of broken walls, disturbed roofing tiles, cracked flooring and its redecoration with
washing, painting etc.
The architectural repairs as stated above do not restore the original structural strength of cracked walls
or columns and may sometimes be very illusive.
b. Restoration
The main purpose of restoration is to carry out structural repair to load bearing elements. It may
involve cutting portions of the elements and rebuilding them or simply adding more structural
material so that the original strength is restored.
1. Removal of portions of cracked masonry wall and piers and rebuilding them in recher mortars.
Use of non-shrinking mortar is preferred.
2. Addition of reinforcing mesh on both faces of the cracked walls holding it to the wall through
spikes or bolts and covering it suitably. Several alternatives can be used.
87
3. Injecting proxy like material which is strong in tension into the crack in the walls, columns,
beams etc.
Where structural repairs are considered necessary, these should be carried out prior to or
simultaneously with the architectural repairs so that total planning of work could be done in a
coordinated manner and wastage is avoided.
c. Strengthening of Existing Buildings

Strengthening is an improvement over the original strength where the evaluation of the building
indicates that the strength available before the damage was insufficient and restoration alone will not
be adequate in resisting future impacts. Strengthening procedure should aim at one or more of the
following objectives:
1. Increasing the lantern strength in one or both directions, by reinforcement or by increasing wall
area or the number of wall and columns.
2. Giving unity to the structure by providing a proper connection between its resisting elements in
such a way that inertia forces generated by the vibration of the building can be transmitted to the
members that have the ability to resist them.
3. Eliminating features that are sources of weakness or that produce concentrations of stresses in
some members or cause abrupt changes of stiffness from one floor to the other concentration of
the large masses. For example, large opening in wall without a proper peripheral reinforce.
4. Avoiding the possibility of brittle modes of failure by proper reinforcement and connection of
resisting members.
8.1.2 Long Term Reconstruction Activities

Reconstruction of housing and associated infrastructure plays most important role in betterment of
psychological trauma, livelihood, health, education in entire disaster recovery process. Therefore, it
should consist of a comprehensive approach involving rehabilitation of housing, infrastructure,
livelihood, health, education, environment, etc to ensure sustainable development of disaster affected
communities. It should be taken into consideration that below mentioned multi disciplinary activities
and approaches should be incorporated in reconstruction process in consultation of the affected
community in an institutionalised manner. This would ensure sustainable development of the
community.
a. Design & Material

The reconstruction of housing requires appropriate design i.e. culturally acceptable, environmentally
suitable and suitable to contextual needs of community. The material and technology used should also
be context specific and in full consultation with the people so that they are able to maintain the
housing after they occupy them. For the same, owner driven approach is preferred.
b. Disaster Resilient Construction

DDMA, Gurugram shall constitute a committee to meet the technical requirements for disaster
resilient housing in reconstruction. This committee shall have members from PWD (B&R)
department, Development and Panchayat Department and other members best suited for ensuring
disaster resilient housing. These members shall assist in multi hazard resilient design and monitor the
entire process of reconstruction. The committee should ensure that disaster resilient techniques are
incorporated in various schemes and development projects. Therefore, funds under schemes can also
be used for reconstruction Indira Awaas Yojana and other such as Housing Schemes for Scheduled
Castes and Denotified Tribes.
88
c. Owner-Driven Approach
One of the significant approaches for disaster reconstruction is owner driven approach. This approach
facilitates the owner to build the housing as per their own conveniences. The intervention of district
administration is limited to provision of the funds and technical expertise for construction activity.
This approach will facilitate the owners to design houses as per their needs, at preferable locations.
This gives them a sense of ownership and helps them to maintain their social capital. The involvement
of owner helps in reducing the cost and proper monitoring.
d. Relocation
When reconstruction also involves relocation of the community, the relocation site should be in close
proximity to the existing sources of livelihood such as places of work, agricultural farms, livestock
facilities, markets, etc. This will ensure favourable conditions for livelihood generation and other
economic activities. DDMA, Gurugram should plan and procure land for rehabilitation in consultation
with the targeted community members to meet the above mentioned aspects.

9 Financial Arrangements
for Disaster Management
9.1 Financing Arrangements
The Disaster Management Act, 2005 provides for Disaster Response Fund (DRF) and
Disaster Mitigation Fund (DMF), each at the national, state and district levels. The National
Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), constituted under Section 46 of the Disaster
Management Act, 2005, supplements SDRF of a State, in case of a disaster of severe nature,
provided adequate funds are not available in SDRF.
Central Government has laid out the modalities for receipt of contributions/ grants from any
person or institution for the purpose of disaster management in the National Disaster
Response Fund (NDRF) as per Section 46(1)(b) of the Disaster Management (DM) Act,
2005. Accordingly, contributions/ grants can be made by any person or institution in NDRF
Under the 14th Finance Commission (FC), this provision of funds was made. The National
Disaster Mitigation Fund is to fund projects exclusively for the purpose of mitigation and is
to be administered by the NDMA. The district level provision of the Disaster Response Fund
and Disaster Mitigation Fund, however, has not been created.
9.2 State Disaster Releif Fund (SDRF)
The State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF), constituted under Section 48 (1) (a) of the
Disaster Management Act, 2005, is the primary fund available with State Governments for
responses to notified disasters. The Central Government contributes 75% of SDRF allocation
for general category States/UTs and 90% for special category States/UTs (NE States, Sikkim,
Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir). The annual Central contribution is
released in two equal installments as per the recommendation of the Finance Commission.
SDRF shall be used only for meeting the expenditure for providing immediate relief to the
victims.
Disaster (s) covered under SDRF: Cyclone, drought, earthquake, fire, flood, tsunami,
hailstorm, landslide, avalanche, cloudburst, pest attack, frost and cold waves.
Local Disaster: A State Government may use up to 10 percent of the funds available under
the SDRF for providing immediate relief to the victims of natural disasters that they consider
95
to be ‘disasters’ within the local context in the State and which are not included in the notified list of
disasters of the Ministry of Home Affairs subject to the condition that the State Government has listed
the State specific natural disasters and notified clear and transparent norms and guidelines for such
disasters with the approval of the State Authority, i.e., the State Executive Authority (SEC).

9.3 Additional Central Assistance
In the context of disaster finance post-disaster reconstruction, there is provision for Additional Central
Assistance (ACA). Over and above the provision of the SDRF, funding is provided from the NDR
Fund in the wake of calamities of severe nature. On receipt of memorandum from the affected states,
an Inter-Ministerial Central Team comprising of representatives of the Central
Ministries/Departments is constituted and its report, after examination by the Inter-Ministerial Group
(IMG) headed by Home Secretary, is placed before High Level Committee (HLC) for their
consideration and approval of funds from NDRF. It has been given to states in recent years,
particularly for the Gujarat earthquake of 2001, the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the Kashmir
earthquake of 2005 and the Kosi floods of 2008 in Bihar.
9.4 Capacity Building Fund
Effective disaster response requires trained manpower to deal with complex situations where effective
and speedy handling can reduce the impact of a disaster on human life and property. It is necessary to
continuously undertake measures to build capacity amongst those handling response and create
96
awareness among the people. Ten percent of SDRF received each year at the state level is
meant for capacity building. As the district demands the state to carry out capacity building
exercises at district level, the state would release the fund for the same, as per the need. The
activities that can be included in capacity building exercises are mentioned in Chapter 6.
9.5 Prime Minister Relief Fund
At the national level, Prime Minister's National Relief Fund was created shortly after
Independence with public contribution to provide immediate relief to people in distress
for:
a. Immediate financial assistance to the victims and next of kin.

b. Assisting search and rescue.
c. Providing health care to the victims.
d. Providing shelter, food, drinking water and sanitation.
e. Temporary restoration of roads, bridges, communication facilities and transportation.
f. Immediate restoration of education and health facilities.
9.6 Chief Minister Relief Fund
At the state level, a provision has been made to provide immediate support to the
distressed people affected by the natural calamities, or road, air or railways accidents,
under the Chief Minister Relief Fund.
9.7 Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS)
a. In the context of natural & man-made calamities, MPLADS works can also be
implemented in the areas prone to or affected by the calamities like floods, cyclone, tsunami,
earthquake, hailstorm, avalanche, cloud burst, pest attack, landslides, tornado, drought,
fire, or chemical, biological and radiological hazards. Lok Sabha MPs from the non-
affected areas of the State can also recommend permissible works up to a maximum of Rs.10
lakh per annum in the affected area(s) in that State. The funds would be released by the nodal
district of the MP concerned to the District Authority of the affected district. MPLADS funds
may be pooled by the District Authority of the affected district for works permissible under
the Guidelines. The amount so transferred from the nodal district to the natural calamity
affected district may be shown in the UCs as well as Monthly Progress Reports as amount
transferred to natural calamity affected district for rehabilitation work. The Works
Completion Report, Audit Certificate and Utilization Certificate for such works and funds
will be provided by the District Authority of the affected districts directly to the Ministry of
Statistics and Programme Implementation for overall reconciliation. No separate
UC/AC/Completion Report in respect of the transferred amount would be required from the
Nodal District authority in this regard while processing release of subsequent installments of
MPLADS funds.
b. In the event of “Calamity of severe nature” in any part of the country, an MP can
recommend works up to a maximum of Rs. 50 lacs for the affected district. Whether a
97
calamity is of severe nature or not will be decided by the Government of India. The funds in
this regard will be released by the District Authority of Nodal district of the MP concerned to
the District Authority of the affected district to get permissible works done.
9.8 Convergence with Central Sponsored Schemes
a. Various employment generation schemes, especially those such as the National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), assure financial relief to needy families in
drought-affected areas. They can be easily integrated with relief programmes post-disaster to
increase the availability of funds for relief expenditure.
b. Another scheme that has been effectively dovetailed with calamity relief is the Indira
Aawas Yojana (IAY) which has accomplished useful relief work in terms of providing
housing to the affected families. Ten percent of the annual allocation under IAY is earmarked
for this purpose.
c. The provision has been made for the mid day meal to remain functional in the drought
hit areas.
9.9 Other Financial Sources
District authority can take assistance from UN bodies and International organizations, NGOs
and private donors (depending on their mandates) for relief, rehabilitation and other disaster
risk reduction activities. Activities undertaken as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can
be channelized for mitigation and capacity building purposes as well as the disaster response.
9.10 Risk Transfer and Disaster Insurance (A Recommendation)
Risk Transfer is a tool that enables a concerned party to share/transfer a portion of the
disaster risk to another party, for a certain fee. This party can be the government itself or the
microfinance institutions. The absence of disaster insurance means that the government has to
bear a huge cost for compensation and rehabilitation work in post-disaster situations.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), India has framed micro
insurance regulations that allow distribution of micro insurance products in the state. The
regulations cover insurance for personal accidents, health care for individual and family and
assets like houses, livestock, tools and others. In Haryana, various Ministries/ Department
have their insurance schemes related to health, crops, livestock, and other which can be
utilize in case of disaster.
