Slide 1 – Introduction

Hello all, today I, Abdullah Adel, having Student ID- 18170009 is going to present in my
presentation “Disaster Management”. So, here we go.

Slide 2 –

 One of the worst earthquakes ever recorded in India, the Bhuj quake rocked the
Indian province of Gujarat on January 26, 2001 (Republic Day).

 It destroyed a significant portion of the region's social infrastructure, including

schools and health facilities in the villages as well as power, communication, and
water supply systems, leaving about 1,000,000 families penniless.

 Gujarat's Kutch district is the most severely damaged, and many cities and villages
there have almost completely sustained devastation.

Slide 3 –

 This earthquake caused many people to suffer severe wounds, bruises, and
disabilities—both physically and emotionally in addition to monetarily.

 The quake had a significant impact on 70% of India and has occurred in the distant
past in Pakistan and Nepal, two nearby countries.

 Its epicenter was around 20 kilometers northeast of Bhuj Town, which is located in
the Kutch area of Western Gujarat.

Slide 4-

 India's capacity to avert earthquake-related tragedies is significantly impacted by the

Gujarat earthquake.

 The problems associated with this disaster are comparable to those of other
significant earthquakes that have lately happened around the world.

 This earthquake has caused several structural and geotechnical failures and had
resulted in a thorough understanding of the steps that need to be followed in this
regard.

Slide 5 –

 Gujarat is only 300–400 kilometers from the current line dividing the Eurasian and
Indian plates, but the evolution of traditional tectonics is still influenced by the line's
role in the bifurcation of the Gondwana landmass.
  The majority of earthquakes can be attributed to rift faults that have undergone
reverse faulting as a source mechanism.

 The Gujarat earthquake in 2001 was caused by the migration of a previously

undiscovered south-dipping liability identical to the assumed rift structure.

Slide 6-

 The majority of the damage was done inside the Japanese portion of Kachchh, close
to the city of Bhachau, which was on the verge of being destroyed.

 Significant effects have also been felt in Gandhidham and Bhuj, two of the larger
towns.

 Housing facilities on the Indian Air Force Base and the eight-story Sahajanand
Complex inside the borders of Bhuj were two of the multi-story homes that were
destroyed.

 The Indian Air Force flew aid from its bases in Amritsar, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, and
Pune.

 The Kandla port was shut down as a result of the earthquake.

Slide. 7 –

 On the J.R. Enterprises Tank ranch near Kandla, almost 2,000 metric tonnes of the
fairly dangerous and combustible biochemical Acrylonitrile (ACN) leaked.

 On the other side, Surat and Ahmedabad, the two major cities, sustained the most
damage as at least 60 kids were killed when the four-story Swaminarayan Vidhyalaya
school in Ahmedabad's Ghodasar-Isanpur district collapsed.

 Both the Nehru Bridge and the Chimanbhai Bridge across the River Sabarmati are
determined to be in poor condition.

Slide 8 –

 The nuclear reactor in Kakrapar, as reported by the Department of Atomic Energy

(D.A.E. According to reports, there was shaking at a frequency of 51.2 Hz, which is
quite similar to the level that triggered the tripping.

 The epicentral region saw damage to the Suvi and Tappar Dams among other things.
Nearly 200 dams had to be strengthened or replaced due to damage.
  The intake tower of the Tapper Dam suffered severe damage close to Gandhidham
and Kutch's water supply was interrupted due to damage to the water pumping and
pipe transmission equipment.

Slide 9 –

 Due to the recurrence's fluctuating frequency, which ranged between 49.86 Hz and
5.15 Hz, 3500 MW of power were lost in Saurashtra and central and northern
Gujarat.

 A full failure of the western grid, which serves parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra, was prevented
by the Ministry of Power's quick action.

 The cut fibre optic wires resulted in a brief disruption of telecom networks. However,
services, including wireless assistance, were restored over the course of seven days.

Slide 10 –

 The Bhachau region saw the aftershock that was the strongest on January 28, 2001.

 A panic with broad characteristics was produced in Gujarat with a scale of Mw=5.8.
People in Ahmedabad hastened outside into the open following the hit, which lasted
30 seconds

 On February 24, an aftershock in Sindh injured many individuals and damaged some
local buildings.

Slide 11 –

 The Gujarat Government (GoG) created the Gujarat Disaster Management Authority
(GSDMA) with the aim of administrative redesign and recovery with the aid of other
entities situated in the damaged area.

 With four packages for economic recovery and restoration, Gujarat's government
would give over $1 billion to its more than 300,000 extended relatives.

 A $2.5 million programme to resurrect small enterprises and the cottage sector has
once more been proposed by the government.

 Several bilateral organizations have agreed to financially support rehabilitation

programs.
