MUNICIPAL CORPO RATION OF GREATER

Mumbai

• Mumbai – Covers an area of about

437.71 Sq. Km.– Houses about 11.9

Million people (c. 2001)– Population density of

about 27,209 people per Sq. Km.

• (c. 2001)– Approximately 60%

population resides in informal settlements

– Approximately 27,68,910 structures including residential, commercial and industrial

Topography

Merger of 7 islands in city area, 4 islands and hilly areas in suburbs

Surrounded by Arabian Sea and Thane creek

Much of the area is close to sea level

Gravity drainage system affected by high/low tides

During high tide flood gates closed to stop ingress of sea water Result: no drainage of storm water. water logging/floods occurs during heavy rains

coupled with high tide

The Need for Disaster Management• Mumbai:

– India’s financial capital

– Maharashtra’s state capital

– Extreme population and structural density

– Coastal city with massive reclamation

– Falls in an active seismological zone

– Presence of industries dealing in hazardous material

– Large number of vulnerable informal settlements

– Strategic target in wartime & for subversive activities

Any disaster would cause massive loss of life and property

Mumbai’s Population Dynamics

• Average population density – 27,209 persons per Sq. Km (population / area)

• Majority of the population resides in the suburbs and commutes to the city area in south for work in the morning and back in the evening

• Case Study - Ward ‘A’ (South Mumbai)– Daytime population : 45,00,000 persons

• Density : 3,94,390 persons / Sq. Km.

– Nighttime population : 2,00,000 persons

• Density : 17,528 persons / Sq. Km.

Disaster Management Administration

Planning

Planning• Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan

– Plots out vulnerabilities– Prepares for possible disasters– Documents institutional mechanisms– Defines rescue mechanisms– Micro-plans at Ward level– Decentralization for faster response

• Resource Inventory– Plots out vulnerabilities and resources

at ward level– Describes rescue and rehabilitation

resources

Planning

• Disaster Management Unit • Single-point source for all issues regarding disaster

management– Risk Assessment– Preparedness– Mitigation– Response– Recovery & Reconstruction

Command & Control agency between administration and field units

Planning

• Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis • The DMP provides detailed listing of:

• Vulnerable Settlements

• Details of flooding points

• Fire hazards

• Earthquakes and house crashes

• Areas prone to Landslides

• Areas prone to Road Accidents

• Areas prone to Industrial and Chemical accidents

• Areas prone to Cyclones

Coordination

• Effective coordination among all agencies necessary for effective response

• Regular preparedness meetings of institutional mechanism

Disaster Management Programme

• Disaster Risk Management Programme’s key focus areas are

– Preparation and updating Disaster Management Plans

– Training and Capacity Building

– Awareness Generation

Disaster Risk Management Programme & Urban Earthquake Risk Reduction Programme is supported by UNDP.

Relief & Rehabilitation Department, A Division of Revenue & Forest Dept., Government of Maharashtra is State Nodal Agency

PUBLIC AWARENESS

Training to NGO’s

Training to MCGM Staff

Seminar on Earthquake Engineering

Awareness

URBAN EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITY REDUCTION– Project –Sub-Component of DRM Programme

Awareness generation – Informing the citizens on earthquake hazard/ risks and possible mitigation

measures– Awareness on safe building practices among practicing architects/ engineers/

builders

Development of Earthquake preparedness plans– Develop preparedness and response plans at ward level – Develop sectoral plans– Establish ward level DMT and Inventory of resources

Development of a techno-legal framework– Review and amendment of byelaws, General development control regulations.

Training and Capacity building– Ensure construction professionals develop capacities in Earthquake resistant

construction & retrofitting measures – Develop local volunteers for preparation of ward level preparedness and

response plans– Establish trained DMTs (at the ward level - training on S&R, First Aid,

community Preparedness Planning, Mock drills)

Emergency Operations Center

Command & Control

Need for an EOC

• EOC contributes to the successful execution of the meticulous planning

• It is the Command and Control Center for all rescue operations

• It serves as a Research & Development Unit

• It also serves as a Training Center

The MCGM’s EOC

• An Emergency Operations Center is equipped with:– An array of communications systems– Television sets tuned to major news channels– Networked Computer Systems with DM Software– Video Conferencing Setup is in process– Conference and Press Rooms– Water Supply and Ration Stocks– Uninterruptible Power Supplies with Generators– Pantry, Dormitory and Toilet facilities

• Thus, it is a self-sufficient control center built to withstand and outlast disasters

EOC Application : Dial 108

• Simple, 3 digit number (108) allotted by DoT

• The ethos of 108– Provide a single-window solution for alerting

multiple response agencies– Minimize response time by improved

coordination among agencies– Improve ‘management’ aspect of disasters

• Modeled on the lines of 911 in USA, this is the first such system in India

LIBRARY

Search & RescueTask Force

Field Unit

MCGM’s Search And Rescue Task Force - One

• Comprises of 26 members from various disciplines• Ward level SAR Teams• Have undergone basic training on:

– Collapsed Structure Search & Rescue– Confined Space Search & Rescue– Rope Rescue– Medical First Response– Water Rescue Operation

• Team is ready for national / international deployment on short notice

Rain Gauge Installation

• MCGM has installed automatic rain gauges at 26 fire brigade stations, so as to know exact pattern of the rain all over Mumbai city & suburb.

• This rain gauges data is transmitted to control room every one hour.

• The rain gauges can be further calibrated to give alarm at prefixed rainfall intensity. (above 20mm rainfall)

• These data serves ultimately as warning and evacuation signal if required.

• Fire brigade being first respondent and on 24 hours alert, the rain gauges are installed at fire stations.

Warning System

• MCGM has given heavy duty vehicles one for each ward.

• These vehicles are fitted with wireless system as well as public announcement system.

Conclusion

Disaster Management System has been undergoing continuous up gradation during last few years

2005 July floods have provided valuable lessons and resulted in more rapid upgradation of DMP

Efforts are on going for better co-ordination with all stake holders

National Disaster Management authorities has appreciated the efforts of Mumbai Disaster Management system.

EVACUATION DRILL

College/School level DM Plan

WHY DO WE NEED A PLAN

• For quick and speedy response

• To know the SWOT*

• Learn from the past

• Long term impact

• To make aware and be prepared

• Economize the resource

AND TO AVOID FOLLOWING ………

Strategy for preparation of Response Plan:

• Formation of a School DM Committee

• Compilation of information from the sources

• Approval by the committee

• Distribution of plan to all stake holders

• Mock Drill (Most Important)

• Projects

• Evaluation

• Plan update

School Disaster Management Plan (Response)

Step 1: Sensitisation meeting for awareness amongst Teachers/School Management

Step 2: Formation of the School Disaster Management Committee

Step 3: Hazard Identification and Safety Assessment

Step 4: Preparation of School Disaster Management Plan Document

Step 5: Formation and Training of Disaster Management Teams

Step 6: Dissemination of the plan to everybody in the school

Step 7:Conduct regular mock drills

Step 8: Evaluation and Updating of the Plan to improve effectiveness and reporting to coordination group

Suggested teams

• Awareness and Information Dissemination Team

• Evacuation Team

• Fire Safety Team

• Search and Rescue Team

• First Aid Team

• Site / Bus Safety Team

Conclusion

• These are only suggested guidelines. • Keep re-evaluating the plans especially whenever

there is changes in classes, new constructions etc.• Keep regular mock drills & practices so that your

reactions will be better during emergencies.• Practice initially in the beginning of academic

session is a must so that the children/teachers are tuned to the new directions.
