Foreword
I am pleased to present the District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP) of Kullu District. As
we all know that Disaster management has become an Act now in the country and the
Government has decided to make serious efforts to mitigate and manage disasters. The
Disaster Management Act, 2005 stipulates to put in place Disaster Management Plans aimed
at reducing potential loss of life and property in disasters as well as ensuring strong
preparedness, responses and recovery measures to manage any disaster situation. Disasters
either natural or manmade have been main hurdles in the development of civilization since
ages and affect humanity on long term basis.
Natural disasters like landslides, flash floods, cloud bursts, forest fires, etc. affect life and
environment. Past experiences in Kullu District shows that each disaster situation throws up a
new set of challenges which the Government agencies have to deal with.
This plan has been prepared as per the guidance provided by the National Disaster
Management Authority and mandates the roles and functions to be played by the District
Disaster Management Authority. Disaster Management, by its very nature, requires a multi-
disciplinary approach and hence, a strong coordination mechanism forms the core of
successful management. This plan outlines the functions of the principal coordination aimed
namely the Kullu District Disaster Management Authority and the support functions to be
performed by the line departments as well as the SDMA. However District Disaster
Management Authority functions are listed out for the line departments. Regular updation of
this DDMP shall help to initiate real time management. As such, each line department
requires to prepare its own Disaster Management Plan in alignment with this plan.
This plan shall be reviewed periodically by the DDMA to update all activities and
information. A training plan has been prepared to enhance capacities of all departments for
effective management of disasters.
I hope that plan serves the purpose.

1. INTRODUCTION
Disaster is events that come unannounced and the main duty of district administration
then becomes the proper management of resources, be it material, physical or manpower.
As per the Government directions, in the state, every district must have a District Disaster
Management Plan. Accordingly, a detailed District Disaster Management Plan has been
prepared for the District Kullu. While preparing this document, an effort has been made
to: -
• Identify probable Disaster/Disaster situations in this district and nodal officers for
each such situation have been deputed. The duties of all the members of District
Disaster Management Committee have been clearly defined.
• Evolve a Standard Operative Procedure of a general nature keeping in view the
common requirements of various Disaster situations with special emphasis on
control room operation and seeking help from outside the district.
• Touch upon in detail the inventory of resources at the disposal of the
Administration and the knowledge of experts for handling the situation.
• Project a detailed individual Disaster Management Plan for handling important
Disaster/Disaster situations.
Our main aim is to reduce vulnerability and also to minimize the destruction caused by all
of these types of Disaster, be it natural or manmade. This is not an easy task and in order
to achieve this target and also keeping in view the population and the of multiplicity of
the hazards and Disaster, which can occur, we are of firm opinion that the government
cannot resolve this issue and the people are not prepared to pay the price in terms of
massive casualties and economic losses, the task, though difficult but is achievable.
Disaster threatens sustainable economic development worldwide. In the past twenty
years, earthquakes, floods, tropical storms, droughts and other calamites have killed
millions of people, inflicted injury, disease and caused homelessness and misery to
around one billion others in the world. These have caused damage to infrastructure worth
millions of rupees. Disaster destroys decades of human effort and investments, thereby,
placing new demands on society for reconstruction and rehabilitation. Disaster
management thus, requires multi-disciplinary and proactive approach. The community,
civil society organizations, media and the proverbial man on the street, everyone has to
play a role in case such exigency occurs.
DDMP KULLU
Page 13
Disasters, either natural or man made, have been main hurdles in the development of
civilization since ages and affect humanity on a long term basis. Devastation and
destruction caused by such catastrophic event is widespread. Restoring the affected area
socially, economically, ecologically and environmentally is a long and protracted process.
The loss to property and resources in a calamity is to such an extent that it becomes hard,
difficult to restore the original real state, particularly in third world countries. Natural
disasters like earthquake, land slide, flash-flood, flood drought and cloud burst affects
life, property and environment. Such events hamper the normal development processes
and only cause losses.
Disaster Management has always been associated with relief and rehabilitation. There
have been no serious attempts to evolve a long-term strategy to contain the adverse
consequences of disasters. In situations where the frequency of occurrence of natural
disasters is high, the short term mitigation measures only add to the State’s exchequer
without being effective. This highlighted the need for developing a long-term disaster
management plan. The integration of counter disaster measures with the overall area
development schemes is expected to minimize the debilitating effects of the natural
calamities and to conserve the natural resources necessary for sustainable socio-economic
development. Community participation is a necessary condition for the sustainability of
the social development initiative. The involvement of the Government as well as the
NGO is crucial in mobilizing the resources and to encourage community involvement in
the development activities.
There are a lot of stakeholders involved in Disaster Management Plan of any district. One
of the main objectives is to form a synergy between all the stakeholders, so that during a
calamity everyone has a defined role and knows what is expected of them. This plan is
based on the guidelines provided by National Disaster Act 2005 and National Disaster
Management Plan. A detailed comprehensive plan is being developed for Kullu District
taking into account various aspects of the same. There are various Government officials
who play important roles in the disaster plan, like District Revenue Officer (DRO), Chief
Medical Officer (CMO), and Superintended of Police (SP) etc. We have tried to gather
information about manpower and resources available with each department in order to
make workable contingency plans. It is seen that there is a lack of awareness about
disasters amongst the community; hence we have to design and arrange awareness
campaigns to involve the residents and encourage youth volunteers. It is necessary to give
DDMP KULLU
Page 14
basic training like First Aid to the youth volunteers. We would help the NGO arrange the
same in the nearby villages of Kullu District.
We also have to bench mark the plan against some international frameworks like Hyogo
Framework used in Japan, to make sure that the best practices can be adopted. Lastly, we
need to see if we can incorporate any latest technology like Satellite phone.
2. KULLU DISTRICT PROFILE
2.1. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE DISTRICT
2.1.1. Location and Administrative Boundaries of the District
Kullu district has a unique geography with mountainous terrains with about 90%
of its population living in village situated in far-flung and inaccessible areas. It
has four sub divisions i.e. Manali, Kullu, Banjar and Anni and five
developmental blocks i.e. Naggar, Banjar, Kullu, Anni and Nirmand. The entire
Kullu district is part of the Mandi Parliamentary constituency.
Natural calamities, like cloud bursts, flash floods, heavy rains, earthquake,
snowfall, hail storms, drought and accidents etc. cause a lot of misery to the
people. The district has often been victim to natural calamities causing severe
damage to life and property.

3. HAZARD, RISK, VULNERABILITY & CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Multi Hazard Zones in Himachal Pradesh
3.1. VARIOUS TYPES OF DISASTERS
3.1.1. Earthquakes
Earthquakes, quite devastating and sudden in nature, are one of the most
common types of disasters that hit the state of HP. Lying in the sensitive
Himalayan belt, at the juncture of two active tectonic plates, the region is prone
to severe seismic activity. The district of Kullu falls in the highest seismic zone
i.e. Zone V and is prone to disastrous earthquakes. The movement of large
blocks along the thrust planes resulting in the release of stored energy is the
basic cause of earthquakes in this region.
DDMP KULLU
Page 18
3.1.2. Flash Floods and Cloud Bursts
Flash floods, short lived extreme events, which usually occur under slowly
moving or stationary thunderstorms, lasting less than 24 hours, are a common
disaster in the Kullu district. As identified by the Commandant Home Guards,
Kullu, the flood areas of Anni sub-division are Luhari, Gugra, Kamand, Anni,
Karana and Logati; in Banjar sub-division are Gushaini, Bathahed, Jibhi and
Manglore; in Manali sub-division are Anjan Mahadev, Dhundi, Pagal Nalla,
Solang, Bhahang, 15 mile and Patlikuhl area respectively & the cloudburst area
in Manali sub-division are Gulaba, Solang, Prini and Vashisht. As a result of the
high velocity of the current which can wash away all obstacles in its way, this
phenomenon has resulted in enormous loss of life and property in various parts
of the region. Glacial melting due to global warming is another major cause of
flash floods as the major glaciers in the higher hill tops are receding at an
alarming rate due to anthropogenic activities. Heavy rains and floods cause
damages to cultivated land of the farmers and wash away the bridges, human
beings and cattle heads.
DDMP KULLU
Page 19
3.1.3. Landslides
Landslides are simply defined as the mass movement of rock, debris or earth
down a slope and have come to include a broad range of motions whereby
falling, sliding and flowing under the influence of gravity dislodges earth
material. They often take place in conjunction with earthquakes, floods and
volcanoes. At times, prolonged rainfall causing heavy block the flow of river
for quite some time. The formation of river blocks can cause havoc to the
settlements downstream on its bursting. In the hilly terrain of India including
the Himalayas, landslides have been a major and widely spread natural
disaster and often strike life and property and occupy a position of major
concern.
As identified by the Commandant Home Guards, Kullu, the landslide areas of
Anni sub-division are Bro, Jagat Khana, Sagofa, Sarga, Deem, Chayal, Gabal
and Bakhun; in Banjar sub-division are Neuli, Siund, Sainj, Bhyali and Largi;
in Manali sub-division are Gulaba, Nehru Kund, Rangri to Aloo ground near
Bahnu Bridge respectively. The fragile nature of the rocks forming the
mountains, along with the climatic condition and various anthropogenic
activities has made the state vulnerable to the vagaries of nature. Landslides
DDMP KULLU
Page 20
are one the geological hazards that are very common to this region. Landslides
are the downslide movement of soil, debris or rocks, resulting from natural
cause, vibrations, overburden of rock material, removal of lateral supports, and
change in the water content of rock or soil bodies, blocked drainages etc. The
mass movement varies in magnitude from soil creep to landslides. Solifluction
(form of creep in which snow or water saturated rocks move down slope) is
another type of mass movement that is common on the higher snow covered
ranges.
3.1.4. Avalanches
Snow cover on a slope tends to slide down the slope because of gravity.
Conditions affecting stability include the gravitational force component of the
snow and resisting forces, such as the frictional resistance of the slope or the
anchoring effect of shrubs. In general, avalanches are caused when this
balance is lost and when the forces exceed the resistance. Avalanches are
rarely observed closely since they normally occur during a short time period of
one or two minutes. Major Causes – Major causes of avalanches can be
classified into fixed (prime factors) and variable factors (exciting factors),
such as weather conditions and the weight of the snow cover, Avalanches
occur when these factors are combined. The types and scale of avalanches can
differ depending on the combination of these various factors and their scale.
Avalanches, river-like flow of snow or ice descending from mountain tops are
common in the high ranges of the Himalayas. They are common in elevations
of more that 3500m on slopes of 30-45°. Convex slope covered with grass are
more prone to avalanches. Avalanches also cause great damage to life and
property. The villages at high altitudes and army and par a-military camps are
frequently hit by this form of natural calamity.
Types of Damage
The following lists typical examples of damage to roads caused by avalanches.
The scale of damage can differ depending on the scale and type of avalanche.
� Traffic blocked by snow deposited on road surface.
� Roads damaged by avalanches.
� Road structures, such as retaining walls, overturned.
DDMP KULLU
Page 21
� Structures damaged by an avalanche during construction of roads
occur most frequently.
3.1.5. Forest Fires
The most common hazard in forests is forests fire. Forests fires are as old as
the forests themselves. They pose a threat not only to the forest wealth but also
to the entire regime to fauna and flora seriously disturbing the bio-diversity
and the ecology and environment of a region. During summer, when there is
no rain for months, the forests become littered with dry senescent leaves and
twinges, which could burst into flames ignited by the slightest spark. The
Himalayan forests, particularly, Garhwal Himalayas have been burning
regularly during the last few summers, with colossal loss of vegetation cover
of that region.Due to the climatic conditions of the state, the houses are
constructed with local material and the villages are inhabited in cluster,
resulting in huge losses in the event of fire mishaps. Approximately 90 percent
of the forest fires are human-induced, intentional or unintentional due to the
negligence and poor knowledge of the people. Collection of forest produce,
shifting cultivation, throwing smouldering bidis, cooking food in the forest
etc. are the basic anthropogenic causes that ignite forest fires. The losses are
caused to structures and also to the personal belongings, rendering the people
shelter less.
3.1.6. Soil Erosion
Soil erosion is a slow phenomenon, causing extensive loss to soil fertility and
damage to the land basin. Though the process of soil erosion is natural and has
been continuing on the surface of the earth since its origin, recently, due to
various human induced activities, its rate has accelerated to dangerous
proportions. The area being drained by a large network of river systems, soil
erosion by water has become a serious problem. Besides causing great loss to
soil fertility, the huge quantity of eroded material carried by water channels
cause floods in downstream regions. Along with other developmental
activities, deforestation, road construction, forest fires etc. are the basic
reasons for the high rate of soil erosion in the state.
DDMP KULLU
Page 22
3.2. CAPACITY ANALYSIS
3.2.1. Human Resources/Skills:
At the time of calamity, for effective operation of different Institutional
arrangement & Relief operations, the necessity of Human resources are highly
essential without which nothing can be pulled off. The district needs to have
information regarding the following Human resources both at the Government
level and with the civil society organization for maximum utilization of their
services.
3.2.2. Communication & Media:
Media plays a substantial role in building a communication network both
horizontally and vertically. It stands as a mode of interaction with the different
sections of society such as actors of relief administration, NGOs etc. and feeds
the right information at the right time to the right people. For the purpose of
monitoring, predicting and warning, the disaster wise technology, instruments,
monitoring stations, if available, are to be listed out. List and contact numbers of
media persons & journalists in Kullu District is given in Annexure 13.1.
� Mass Media: The number of local Newspapers, Radio Stations, TV
Transmission Centres and Cable Operators to be listed out for use in
times of Disaster.
� Radio Station: There is one radio station namely AIR, Shimla which
can be very handy at the time of occurrence of any disaster. But there
is no radio station in Kullu District so we need to work upon it.
� TV Transmission Centres: These are operational from Shimla itself.
� Cable Operators: There are two channels in Kullu District, i.e., TV9
and City Cable, which are operating directly from Shimla.
4. OPERATIONAL MECHANISM
The DM Act 2005 defines disaster preparedness as “the state of readiness to deal with a
threatening disaster situation or disaster and the effects thereof. According to the United
Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN:ISDR), disaster preparedness
is defined as “the knowledge and capacities developed by governments, professional
response and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to effectively
anticipate, respond to, and recover from, the impacts of likely, imminent or current
DDMP KULLU
Page 23
hazard events or conditions.” The preparedness actions are carried out within the
context of disaster risk management and aims to build the capacities needed to
efficiently manage all types of emergencies and achieve orderly transitions from
response to sustained recovery.
4.1. Key components of Disaster Preparedness Framework:
• Strengthen policy, technical and institutional capacities in regional, national and local
disaster management, including those related to technology, training, and human and
material resources.
• Promote and support dialogue, exchange of information and coordination with the aim
of fostering a holistic approach towards disaster risk reduction.
• Strengthen and when necessary develop coordinated regional approaches, prepare or
review and periodically update disaster preparedness plans and policies at all levels,
with a particular focus on the most vulnerable areas and groups. Promote regular
disaster preparedness exercises, with a view to ensuring rapid and effective disaster
response.
• Promote the establishment of emergency funds, where and as appropriate, to support
preparedness measures.
• Develop specific mechanisms to engage the active participation and ownership of
relevant stakeholders including communities in disaster preparedness, with the spirit
of volunteerism.

5.6. NGO’s ROLE IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
NGOs are organizations that are nonprofit making, voluntary and independent of
government, engaged in activities concerning various societal and developmental issues. The
DDMP would be implementable and effective only with the involvement of these institutes.
The NGO sector has always been very vibrant in India, and is based on the concept of
volunteerism and care for the fellow citizens. Many organizations also undertake DM
activities, as a core area of ongoing work in the case of some agencies while some others
participate only in post disaster response when the communities they work with face sudden
emergencies. A very large number of NGOs, both international and national, have
significantly large field presence that often extend across a number of states. They are well
organized in terms of operations administration and finances. Their work is complemented by
local and community based organizations, which are more spontaneous and informal in
nature, and work at the grassroots levels often from within communities.
In any disaster situation the local community is the first and foremost responder to the
situation. The effectiveness of first hour relief and rescue operation depends upon the skill,
resources in any form, experience, human potential and system and structure rests with the
community. Therefore, local community is the important and first actor or practitioner in
managing the disaster situation. The local efforts act effectively due to the emergence of
volunteerism and apathy towards their own people. The notion of volunteerism grows at this
hour of emergency, crisis, need and help. People from local area, outside community, from
neighbouring area bestow for volunteering in such hour of need. These are the people who
DDMP KULLU
Page 33
perform services out of their own free will, have an urge, zeal, dedication and perseverance to
work for mankind. Volunteers have a specific role to help ensure a community’s successful
response to and recovery from the disaster’s devastation. They are important part of any
disaster’s at all hours and aware of diversity in issues. They assist their communities in
preventing, preparing for, responding to and recovering from disasters. They have an
important role to play in strengthening the capacities of local communities to resist the effort
of disaster.
NGOs can play a very important role in mobilizing communities and in linking (Urban Local
Bodies) ULBs with corporate sector entities for initiating DRR related activities.
• The strong linkages which NGOs have with grass root communities can be
effectively harnessed for creating greater public awareness on disaster risk and
vulnerability, initiating appropriate strategies for strengthening the capacity of
stakeholder groups to improve disaster preparedness, mitigation and improving the
emergency response capacities of the stakeholders.
• In addressing the emerging concerns of climate change adaptation and mitigation,
NGOs can play a very significant role in working with local communities and
introducing innovative approaches based on the good practices followed in other
countries.
• NGOs can bring in the financial resources from bilateral and multilateral donors for
implementing pragmatic and innovative approaches to deal with disaster risk and
vulnerability, by effectively integrating and converging the various government
programmes, schemes and projects to create the required synergy in transforming the
lives of at-risk communities.
The strong field presence of many NGOs at the national, state, district and sub district levels,
even extending to remote settlements in far flung areas indicate the high credibility and
acceptability that they enjoy with local communities. The strong contact with local
community groups like Self Help Groups (SHGs), farmers groups, youth groups, women’s’
groups, village health committees, watershed committees, etc. and their participation in the
local level implementation of government’s flagship programmes and their innovative
approaches in employment generation, income generation, poverty alleviation and natural
resource regeneration and climate change adaptation/mitigation projects make them ideal
partners in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR) in development plans at various
levels.
DDMP KULLU
Page 34
NGOs not only work on their own but also work in partnership with other national and
international organizations, UN agencies, community based organizations, local
governments, self- help groups and government bodies. Over the years NGOs have also come
together through networks, coalitions and alliances so as to offer value added humanitarian
services, notable examples being Mountain Forum Himalayas (MFH), Voluntary Health
Association of India (VHAI), Voluntary Action Network India (VANI), Sphere India,
Alliance for Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (AADRR), and Confederation of
Voluntary Associations (COVA).
During disaster preparedness, it is important to carry out risk assessment to identify potential
areas vulnerable to disasters like floods or earthquakes. By involving Persons with
Disabilities (PWDs) in risk mapping, the possible barriers they may face during an
emergency situation can be understood and special measures can be designed to address such
concerns through participatory and inclusive processes. For example, immediately after an
earthquake, a person who is physically handicapped may not be able to negotiate over rubble
to reach a temporary relief camp. When resource mapping is carried out, resources specific to
PWDs should also be identified. These may include accessible disabled friendly drinking
water and sanitation sources, accessible disabled-friendly shelters, volunteers to provide
physical and psychological support, rehabilitation centers, emergency healthcare and hospital
services for injured persons, special schools or schools that include children with disabilities,
etc. NGOs must address the specific needs of PWDs during the preparedness phase. They
should prepare a resource inventory taking into consideration three areas of disability:
physical, sensory (hearing, speech, vision) and mental or intellectual.
5.6.1. General Action Points for NGOs in Disaster Management:
• Develop a database of NGOs at all levels working on disaster management focusing
on geographic outreach and thematic capacities of the organizations.
• Establish meaningful engagement with concerned government bodies such as
Planning Commission, Finance Commission, NDMA, nodal ministries, state level
bodies, district level bodies, local level bodies and other stakeholders.
• Establishing inter-agency mechanisms for coordination and network activities
(information and knowledge management, training and capacity building,
collaborative advocacy, quality and accountability) at all levels.
DDMP KULLU

CASE STUDY OF IAG- SPHERE INDIA
The Sphere Project was launched in 1997 to develop a set of minimum standards in core areas of
humanitarian assistance. Sphere is based on two core beliefs: first, that all possible steps should be
taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of calamity and conflict, and second, that those
affected by disaster have a right to life with dignity and therefore a right to assistance. In 2007,
Sphere Project is celebrating its decadal journey to address the human sufferings of millions
around worldwide. One of the major results of the project has been the publication of the
handbook, Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response.
But given that the Humanitarian work is complex and sometimes messy, it is critical that the way
we document it reflects this complexity and critically challenges it, situates the work in the broader
political, social and economic context, and provokes humanitarian workers into a deeper
understanding of the nature and difficulties of good and accountable humanitarian action.
It is needless to say that disasters urge the need for multi-organizational and multi-disciplinary
coordination. The typical response to a disaster includes independent organizations, planning and
responding independently, with little grasp of how each fits into the overall response. To address
these issues, it is imperative that we have a forum to interact, identify the strengths, share
experiences, draw upon lessons learnt, and support the government in plugging gaps and minimize
duplication. The Inter Agency Group (IAG) is uniquely positioned to bridge many organizations
working in the field of Disaster Management for a coordinated response to crisis. UNDP as a part
of IAG extends all support to achieve the objectives.
Objective: "The project objective is to develop a humanitarian charter and associated set of
minimum standards in collaboration with leading NGOs, interested donor governments and UN
agencies, to both disseminate the resultant products widely within the international humanitarian
system and to encourage their formal adoption and practice by relief agencies and their donors."
Five sectors were chosen to cover the basic sectors in humanitarian response:
• water supply and sanitation
• nutrition
• food aid
• shelter and site planning
• health services
The Inter Agency Group (IAG) is functional in many States of India and is working efficiently. It
can also be associated with Kullu district in the near future and focus on the reduction,
vulnerability and disaster risk of the people here through advocacy, coordination and knowledge
management, ensuring effective and efficient response to emergencies while ensuring minimum
humanitarian standards as given by Sphere Project.
DDMP KULLU
Page 36
• Establish protocols for cooperation and ensure access to the affected areas with
support from government agencies at respective levels like NDRF and SDRF that
have good logistics base to reach inaccessible areas.
• Conduct community centric hazard and vulnerability analysis at all levels, and
develop disaster management plans accordingly. Eg. Panchayat level Contingency
Plan of Bhahang (Kullu) attached in Annexure-4.
• Ensure community participation in assessment, planning, implementation and
monitoring of activities at all levels.
• Support the most vulnerable groups through mitigation activities as well as disaster
preparedness and response, with a particular focus on the special needs of the Persons
with Disabilities (PWDs).
• Make women's as well as men's concerns and experiences an integral dimension in the
design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programs such that
inequalities between men and women are not perpetuated through the routine
operations of DM.
• Develop the capacities of NGOs or specialized civil society agencies at all levels to
manage urban as well as rural disasters and make investments in accordance.
• Ensure that the NGO programmes have an exit strategy to link with long term
recovery/rehab/development programs of other NGOs or the government.
• The identification of these volunteers and training them could be done by the local
NGOs and civil committees which are working at the grass root level. In Himachal
Pradesh MFH in association with CASA has been working on the same since years
together.
• The list of Disaster Youth Volunteers working in Kullu District is given in Annexure
12.7.6.
The trained Disaster Youth Volunteers (DYV) can be associated with the core members of
the NGO or with their link partners in other districts so that they are available during disaster
situation.
The Disaster Youth Volunteers (DYV) should be well trained and registered at district and
national level so that they can be easily traced in times of need. Each DYV should be headed
by a primary agency, which has been selected based on its authority, resources and
capabilities to support the functional area. The designated primary agencies should be
assisted by one or more support agencies (secondary agencies) and will be responsible for
DDMP KULLU
Page 37
managing the activities of the DYV and assisting the district in the rescue and relief activities,
ensuring that the mission is accomplished.
Also, during non disaster times these DYVs can work on Natural Resource Management,
Climate Change, Risk Reduction, Staff / Community Awareness and Training of handling
emergency situation.
6. PREPAREDNESS PLAN
6.1.1. Preparedness Apparatus
The control room is the nodal centre in terms of Disaster Management which
performs the function of collecting and transmitting information to the
appropriate places and people. Giving warning in time to the people, receiving
and providing information, monitoring the preparedness and the relief work are
to be entrusted to the control room. All the information of the district should be
available in the control room. We should take precautions with all facilities to
make it functional even when there is a failure of power. The control room can
be set up in the Office of Deputy Commissioner (district level).
6.1.2. Community Education and Preparedness Programme
Community is the first and last to face the disaster. Equipping them, educating
and preparing them for the recurring disasters are of vital importance. The most
vulnerable areas are to be identified and periodic awareness programme are to be
provided at the Ward level, Panchayat level, Educational Institutions, Social
Organizations etc. It is essential to examine the various methods in which the
community can be effectively involved in planning for disaster management. A
community which is aware and well equipped to handle disasters will boldly
face them.
6.1.3. Measures available for Promotion of Life/Crop/Property Insurance
Insurance is a safety against loss of life or crop or property. The people should
be educated and made aware of the various schemes available for insurance
against loss life, crop and property and the benefits that can be gained out of the
insurance. The steps taken by the District Administration for the interface
between the Insurance Agencies and the people in the vulnerable areas and
adjoining areas are very important. Crop Insurance Schemes are to be made
more prevalent and popular in order to provide better results and benefits for the
DDMP KULLU
Page 38
people. The steps taken by the District Administration for safety of life, crop and
property to be detailed and awareness campaigns are to be launched.
6.1.4. Preparedness Measures Available with Different Government Departments
The different Government departments have different roles to play in the disaster
period. Preparedness depends upon the manpower available, the training of the
rescue team and the local people, equipments and the resources available with
the various departments. Location wise infrastructural availability is to be
prepared. Whether the existing preparedness is adequate or it has to be
enhanced/obtained from other places is also to be examined. Department wise
contingency plan for preparedness for disasters are to be prepared.
6.1.5. Public and Private Resources Inventory
The resources available with both private and Government are to be listed out. It
could cover all details like medical shops, phone numbers, vehicles, trucks,
tractors and buildings and all those which could be used during disasters.
Updated resource inventory would be very handy in times of handling disasters.
6.1.6. Infrastructure Available and its Maintenance
The infrastructure available in the district in terms of health, traders,
transporters, trained manpower and equipments like wireless, telephones,
satellite facilities etc. are to be determined and listed out.
6.1.7. Special Equipment Available
Special equipment in working condition is vital in times of disaster. The special
equipment like Earthmoving equipments, Rigs, Cranes, X-ray units, Water
tankers, Mobile phones etc. are to be listed out which could be used during the
disasters.
6.1.8. List of Vital Installations
The vital installations are the first to be protected when a disaster occurs, for
example, Power Stations, Transformers, Telecommunication centres, Wireless
and relay stations, Dams, Defence Establishments, Airports, and Ports etc.
Hence they are to be listed and even during the pre-disaster period, they have to
be safeguarded. Separate plan are to be kept ready to safeguard them.
6.1.9. Adequacy of Existing Inventory
During the earlier disasters, the District Disaster Management Committee would
have felt certain deficiencies in the existing infrastructure facilities in terms of
DDMP KULLU
Page 39
warning systems, monitoring systems, industrial safety measures, fire services
limitations in running control room, community preparedness etc. It is to be
checked and determined whether the resources are evenly distributed in the
Districts. The deficiencies and the requirements have to be communicated with
the district authorities from the various departments and from the district to the
government and also with the Defence Personnel for filling the gaps.
Procurement could also be made on priority basis.
6.2. MITIGATION PLAN
NGOs should take up the role of facilitators to promote following components as
disaster mitigation initiatives of developmental planning or disaster preparedness
planning:
i. Multi hazard mapping, including development of different hazard maps at
community levels and collating them for block, district and higher levels, using PRA,
remote sensing and GIS based community information systems.
ii. Vulnerability mapping, including local level assessment covering geographical
location, structures, occupations, living pattern, cultural practices etc.
iii. Capacity mapping, including identifying capacities from community level
upwards, incorporating indigenous coping practices and identifying capacities of
CBO and NGOs. iv. Action planning for disaster mitigation, based on local actions
towards targetted achievements of avoidance of adverse impact of disasters through
multi-stakeholder participation, should extend to participatory implementation and
monitoring processes.
6.2.1. MEASURE
6.2.1.1. Short Term Measure: When the disasters are inevitable, the only way to deal
with them is to mitigate its impact, which could fall under the short term measures
like immediate relief, reducing the response time to avert any losses, the basic needs
of the vulnerable and affected people are to be given. Those who have lost their
property, movables are to be supplied with those minimum essential items including
smaller loans at a concessional rate for long/short term loan etc. are to be given.
6.2.1.2. Long Term Measure: The Long Term Measures would be according to the
disasters and their need is to be planned. In frequent fire accidents, Fire Service
DDMP KULLU
Page 40
Stations to be set up, periodic checking, training the people is conducted. In case of
flood, dams, water storage structures, de-silting, bank protection and watershed
management are to be followed. Environmental degradation that is caused could be
addressed by Watershed Management principles. Biomass production will be another
Long Term Strategy. Planting trees, shrubs and promoting pastures are to be taken up.
6.2.2. PLAN
6.2.2.1. Structural Plan: The disasters could be mitigated by putting structural
solutions like dams, embankments, stone walls (sea erosion) dykes, water storage
pumps etc. These are costly and needs only one time heavy investment. Example-
Dams etc.
6.2.2.2. Non Structural Plan: The non-structural methods in handling disasters have
been gradually evolved by the community with their traditional knowledge and
strength, which have been time tested, economic, cost effective and user-friendly
technology and the local people can themselves do it. The non-structural mitigation
plans are to be made popular and encouraged as people themselves could do it.
Financial incentives will encourage people to adopt it.
6.3. RESPONSE PLAN
The following principles of ideal humanitarian response are largely inspirational and
they reflect the good practices in humanitarian response in disaster contexts. Most
governments and international, national and local level NGOs try to adhere to these
principles while responding to disasters in their jurisdictions.
6.3.1. The Humanitarian Imperative:
• To prevent and alleviate suffering; to protect life and health (improve human
conditions);
• To ensure respect for human beings, and the right to receive / offer assistance.
6.3.2. Neutrality:
• Not to take sides in the hostilities / controversies based on political, racial,
religious or ideological identity (non-partisanship / independence).
DDMP KULLU
Page 41
• Transparency and openness are key issues to keep neutrality. Neutrality cannot
mean non-action for an organization that has adopted a human rights
approach. Defending human rights should not be seen as a partisan activity.
6.3.3. Impartiality (non-discrimination):
• Aid is delivered to all those who are suffering, based on their needs. The
assessment of needs is rights-based.
• This principle includes both the proportionality to need as well as the principle
of non-discrimination.
6.3.4. Do no harm:
• “Do no harm” or minimize the harm relief workers may be doing by being
present/providing assistance in conflict situations.
• Need to take steps to minimize the harm when aid is an instrument of war
(denying access, attacking convoys), an indirect part of the dynamics of the
conflict (creates jobs, gives incomes in form of taxes) or exacerbates the root
causes of the conflict by securing “rebel” activities.
6.3.5. Accountability:
• Four stake holders ( beneficiary community; national/local authority;
donor & aid agency)
• Aid agencies are held accountable to both the beneficiary communities (needs for
assistance & protection are met, with dignity) and the donors (assistance provided
for the proposed purpose).
• Coordination among organizations is thus a key part of this principle.
6.3.6. Participation of affected populations:
• Humanitarian action tends to look at short-term needs and forget the
responsibilities to give sustainable aid in a way that realizes the right of affected
populations to participate in decisions that affect their lives. It is, however,
important to build on capacities in the affected population, and promote the
participation of beneficiaries in all that we do.
6.3.7. Respect for culture & custom:
• Understanding local customs and traditions is important while working with
local communities, but also in understanding local values when connecting
them to internationally recognized human rights. Some interventions require
particular sensitivity to local customs. While local culture / customs vary,
DDMP KULLU
Page 42
human rights are universal and applicable to all human beings, no matter what
the cultural setting, and must be paramount.
6.3.8. The general measures for a response plan are as follows:
• There should be active public warning so that the public are well prepared mentally
and physically to handle the disaster.
• The public authorities are to be notified in order to enable a speedy recovery from the
disaster.
• There should be effective mobilisation of emergency/ personnel equipment.
• There should be declaration of the disaster and should be facilitation of the evacuation
process in case it is needed.
• There should be effective implementation of search and rescue missions.
• The laws are to be suspended temporarily due to the emergency situations.
• Damage assessment and needs analysis surveys are an important part of the post-
disaster response process.
6.4. RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION PLAN
The recovery and reconstruction plan include the following:
• There should be the provision of damage insurance/loans and grants.
• Temporary housing should be provided to the disaster hit people and affected
areas.
• There should be long term medical care that is to be provided.
• Unemployment insurance is to be made available.
• The public is to be informed regarding the disasters and its repercussions.
• There should be awareness campaigns and health/safety education should be
provided.
• The reconstruction work should commence in order to bring normalcy to the
locality.
• The NGOs and the community should make sure that regular counselling
programmes are conducted.
• Economic impact studies are to be conducted to get a fair idea of the situation.
DDMP KULLU

• Builders/carpenters are to be trained so that there can be speedy reconstruction of
the damaged property and infrastructure.
Phase Needs and Timely Actions Timeline/remark
Phase-I
Acute emergency phase or early
recovery
Search and rescue, first aid,
disposal of dead bodies and
animal carcasses, damage and
needs assessment, relief
mobilisation and distribution,
temporary shelter, registration,
information management,
coordination etc.
1 to 30 days (depending on
extent and gravity of disaster)
Timely and appropriate
response will depend on the
preparedness and contingency
planning put in place by the
Government and NGOs, CBOs
and CSOs.
Phase-II Care, maintenance and
recovery phase
Food, water, sanitation, health
care, psycho-social care,
education, livelihoods, training,
coordination
The length of this phase will
depend of the type of
emergency. In floods this might
not exist while in case of big
earthquake it might be couple of
years. This is the phase before
affected population can return
to normal ways of living. It also
called transitional phase.
Phase-III Reconstruction and
long term recovery
Durable solution’ for
livelihoods, housing skill
building, institution building,
coordination etc.
It may take 2 to 5 years to
restore the life back to normalcy
and establish all the institutions
and infrastructure ‘better than
pre-disaster days’.

6.5. OPERATIONAL FLOW
Whenever a disaster strikes the district Kullu, the following activities should be
followed.
6.5.1. Early Warning and Dissemination
The experience has shown that in most of the disaster situation there is loss of life and
property as disaster can take place at any time without warning. So preparedness
action plan is crucial in order to safeguard life and property. It is therefore necessary
that with respect to every disaster a responsible officer is designated to issue the
warnings. Based on the warnings received, it is required to prepare initial information
report with estimation of likely severity and scale of disaster and there is also a need
of organizing a meeting of Disaster Management committees (DMCs). A team for
deployment should be prepared to assess the damage and need and inform the
respective departments.

6.5.2. Community Preparedness
Whenever any disaster strikes the first stakeholder to get affected is the
community. Hence community involvement is very important for a proper
disaster management. In order to have an effective disaster response, we need to
have proper awareness and training amongst the community.
• NGOs have a very important role in community preparedness, as they work on
grass root level and know the community very well.
• They have the role of identifying the youth volunteers and involving housewives
in the same process.
• The women should be given training in how can they use the resources that they
have at home like ropes, sugar bags etc to mitigate the damage as much as
possible.
• The house members should be aware of the general procedure and dos and don’ts
of the disasters.
• The village should have a control room and have the minimum resources which
are given in the below table.
• Youth volunteers can have trainings in different levels.

7. HAZARD SPECIFIC PLAN
7.1. EARTHQUAKE: Response, Recovery and Mitigation
7.1.1. Earthquake Information: Earthquakes are hazards that strike without warning and
cause widespread damage to various man-made structures and systems. Various
measures can be classified in terms of preparedness, mitigation and prevention in the
pre-earthquake phase. These are immediate rescue and relief measures including
temporary sheltering from just after an earthquake event to about 3 months, and
reconstruction and rehabilitation measures in the next six months to a three year
period following an earthquake occurrence. These can neither be prevented nor
predicted in terms of their magnitude, place and time of occurrence. Therefore, the
most effective measures of risk reduction are pre-disaster mitigation, preparedness
and preventive measures for reducing the vulnerability of the built environment and
expeditious effective rescue and relief actions immediately after the occurrence of the
earthquake. The measures can be divided into long term, medium term and short term.
The long term measures require five to fifteen years, the medium term requires one to
five years and the short term measures are to be taken up immediately in high risk
areas. It may be stated at this juncture that earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do.
Therefore, most importantly, reduction of vulnerability of buildings and structures
will be the key to earthquake risk reduction. Also, pre-disaster preparedness through a
‘post earthquake response plan’, including training of the concerned personnel in
various tasks is considered essential for immediate and effective response after an
earthquake occurrence.
7.1.2. Pre-Disaster Earthquake Mitigation Measures
7.1.2.1. Long Term Measures: Various activities taken up as long term measures for
earthquake disaster mitigation may include:
DDMP KULLU
Page 50
• Re-framing the building codes, guidelines, manuals and by-laws
and their proper implementation. Stricter legislation for highly
seismic areas.
• In high risk areas, all building should incorporate earthquake
resistant features.
• Public utilities like water supply system, communication network,
electricity lines etc. must be earthquake proof to reduce damages to
the infrastructure facilities, and alternative arrangement for the same
must be developed.
• Community buildings and buildings used for gathering of large
number of persons, like school, dharamshalas, hospitals, prayer
halls, etc must be made earthquake resistant in seismic zones of
moderate to high intensities.
• Supporting R&D in various aspects of disaster mitigation,
preparedness and prevention and post disaster management.
• Improving educational curricula in architecture and engineering
institutions and technical training in polytechnics and schools to
include disaster related topics.
7.1.2.2. Medium Term Measures: The medium term measures for earthquake
disaster mitigation may be listed as follows:
• Retrofitting of the weak structures in the highly seismic zones.
• Preparation of literature in local languages with do’s and don’ts for
the building constructions.
• Getting the community involved in the process of disaster
mitigation by providing them with proper education and awareness.
• Supporting local technical institutions/colleges/schools to conduct
research and to organize exhibitions for public awareness.
• Networking of local NGOs working in the area of disaster
management.
7.1.3. Post-Disaster Earthquake Mitigation Measures
7.1.3.1. Short Term Measures: The urgent measures to be undertaken in the
aftermath of a damaging earthquake will include the following:
DDMP KULLU
Page 51
• Maintenance of law and order, prevention of trespassing, looting
etc.
• Evacuation of the people.
• Recovery of dead bodies and their disposal.
• Medical care for the injured.
• Supply of food and drinking water.
• Temporary shelters like tents, metal sheds etc.
• Restoring lines of communication and information.
• Restoring transport routes.
• Quick assessment of damage and demarcation of damaged areas
according to the grade of damage.
• Cordoning off severely damaged structures that are liable to
collapse during aftershocks.
• Co-ordination between various agencies involved in rescue and
relief work is extremely important for success in avoiding gaps and
duplication.
7.1.3.2. Pre-Disaster Earthquake Preparedness
Pre-disaster preparedness needs to be based on preparing likely damage
scenario in probable earthquake occurrences and the estimate of extent of
efforts required. The following preparedness actions will be useful:
• Community should be trained in search, rescue and relief at the time
of disaster in high-risk areas.
• An extensive programme of mass drills may be very helpful in
high-risk areas for earthquake damage reduction.
• Local NGOs should be trained and their capacity and capabilities
should be strengthened.
• Introducing earthquake disaster safety dos and don’ts and drills in
schools.
• To organize training of field personnel of the states in the science
and art of carrying out post disaster damage surveys for urgent relief
purposes and for repair, reconstruction and retrofitting purposes.
DDMP KULLU
Page 52
7.1.4. Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
An effort needs to be made in the emergency phase to involve the affected
people to the maximum extent so as to create a feeling of self-reliance. They
need to be started as quickly as possible so that the period of relief is minimized.
• Detailed survey of building for assessment of damage and decision
regarding repair, reconstruction and strengthening or demolition.
• Repair, reconstruction and seismic strengthening or demolition.
• Selection of sites for new settlements, if required.
• Execution of the reconstruction programme.
• Review of the existing seismic zoning maps and risk maps.
• Review of seismic codes and norms of construction.
• Training of personnel, engineers, architects, builders and masons.
• Statistical studies regarding the earthquake.
7.1.5. Specific Suggestions for Earthquake Mitigation
In order to manage earthquakes, the following recommendations are suggested:
• Public buildings should be earthquake resistant by using code of Bureau
of Indian Standards (BIS) for earthquake-resistant design.
• Measures should be taken to make houses using gasoline, oil and gas
stoves houses, resistant to earthquakes.
• In city planning, the load bearing capacity studies of the ground should
be undertaken and risk zones should be identified.
• For important transport and communication segments, standby facilities
should be provided in earthquake prone areas.
7.2. FLOOD: Response, Recovery and Mitigation
7.2.1. Flood Information: Flooding conditions may occur due to river in spate, snow melt,
storm surges, short intense storms that cause flash floods. Flooding in rivers is mainly
caused by inadequate capacity within the banks of the river to contain high flows,
river bank erosion and silting of riverbeds, landslides leading to obstruction of flow
and change in the river course, synchronizations of flood in the main and tributary
rivers, flow retardation due to tidal and backwater effects, poor natural drainage,
cyclone and heavy rainfall.
DDMP KULLU
Page 53
7.2.2. Flood Mitigation
The general approach was aimed at preventing floodwaters from reaching the
potential damage centres, as a result of which a large number of embankments
came up along the various flood prone rivers. The various measures adopted for
flood mitigation may be categorized into two groups:
7.2.2.1. Structural Measures: The main thrust of the flood protection programme
undertaken in the country so far in the form of structural measures may be grouped
into the following:
• Dams and Reservoirs
• Embankments, floodwalls
• Natural detention basin
• Channel improvement
• Drainage improvement
• Diversion of floodwaters
7.2.2.2. Non-Structural Measures: The non-structural measures on the other hand
aim at modifying the susceptibility to flood damage as well as modifying the loss
burden the various non-structural measures being implemented in the country are:
• Modifying the susceptibility to flood damages through: Flood
plain management, Flood proofing including disaster preparedness,
and response planning and Flood forecasting and warning.
• Modifying the flood loss burden through: Disaster relief, Flood
fighting including Public Health Measures, Setting up of flood
forecasting and warning services is one of the most cost-effective
non-structural measures available.
7.2.3. Pre-Disaster Flood Preparedness
Within the overall master plan for the state, there has to be a contingency plan
for each district involving steps required to be taken before the onset of floods.
• Convening a meeting of the District Level Committee on natural
calamities.
• Functioning of the Control Rooms.
• Closure of past breaches in river and guarding of weak points.
• Rain recording and submission of rainfall reports.
• Communication of gauge-readings and preparation of maps and charts.
DDMP KULLU
Page 54
• Dissemination of weather reports and flood bulleting issued by the
Meteorological Centres, Central Water Commission and Flood
Forecasting Organizations.
• Deployment of boats at strategic points.
• Use of powerboats.
• Installation of temporary Police Wireless Stations and temporary
telephones in flood prone areas.
• Arrangements for keeping telephones and telegraph lines in order,
• Storage of food in interior, vulnerable strategic and key areas.
• Arrangements of dry foodstuff and other necessities of life.
• Arrangements for keeping the drainage system de-silted and properly
maintained.
• Agricultural measures, Health Measure, Vetenary measures.
• Selection of food shelters.
• Advance arrangements for army assistance.
• Training in flood relief work.
• Organization of relief parties.
• Other precautionary measures and alternative drinking water supply
arrangements.
7.2.4. Post-Disaster Flood Preparedness
There should also be a contingency plan for each district involving steps
required to be taken during and after the onset of floods.
• Organising rescue operations.
• Organising shelter for the people in distress in case the efforts of the
civil authorities are considered inadequate. Army assistance should
be requisitioned.
• Relief measures by non-official and voluntary organizations may be
enlisted as far as possible.
• Organise relief camps.
• Provision of basic amenities like drinking water, sanitation and public
health care and arrangements of cooked food in the relief camps.
DDMP KULLU
Page 55
• Making necessary arrangements for air dropping of food packets in the
marooned villages through helicopters.
• Organising enough relief parties to the rescue of the marooned people
with the reasonable time limit.
• Establish alternate communication links to have effective
communication with marooned areas.
• Organising controlled kitchens to supply foods initially at least for 3
days.
• Organising cattle camps, if necessary, and provide veterinary care,
fodder and cattle feed to the affected animals.
• Grant of emergency relief to all the affected people.
• Submission of daily reports and disseminates correct information
through mass media to avoid rumours.
• Rehabilitation of homeless.
• Commencement of agricultural activities-de siltation, re sowing.
• Repairs and construction of infrastructure facilities such as roads,
embankments, resettlement of flood prone areas.
• Health measures.
• Relief for economic reconstruction.
7.2.5. Flood Response
Flood Response could inter-alia include the following essential requirements:
• Speedy restoration of roads, rail routes and the postal services.
• Normal water supply in the affected areas either by arranging tankers or fire tenders.
• Repair of the power, telephone and sewerage lines on priority basis so that normalcy
is restored.
• Proper arrangements for the supply of food, shelter and clothing to the marooned
people.
• Ensuring adequate supply of kerosene oil and keeping the supply line moving.
• Constitution of a survey team to assess the loss and compensation to be given to the
affected population.
• Assistance for repair/rebuilding of private properties.
• De-silting and dewatering of the inundated areas.
DDMP KULLU
Page 56
• Taking up appropriate measures according to Contingency Plan for the agriculture
sector.
7.2.6. Specific Suggestions for Flood Mitigation
The following suggestions are to be followed in case of floods in these areas:
• Area flood mapping should be prepared to make future preparedness
plans.
• In flood prone areas, evacuation capabilities should be enhanced.
• Afforestation/vegetation cover on hilly regions and flood prone areas
should be given priority.
7.3. LANDSLIDE: Response, Recovery and Mitigation
7.3.1. Landslide Information
Landslides are simply defined as the mass movement of rock, debris or earth
down a slope and have come to include a broad range of motions whereby
falling, sliding and flowing under the influence of gravity dislodges earth
material. They often take place in conjunction with earthquakes, floods and
volcanoes. At times, prolonged rainfall causing heavy landslides block the flow
of river for quite some time. The formation of river blocks can cause havoc to
the settlements downstream on its bursting.
In the district like Kullu landslides have been a widely spread natural disaster
that often strike life and property and occupy a position of major concern.
The major parameters that call for evaluation are Slope-Magnitude, Length and
Direction, Soil thickness, Relative relief, Land use, Drainage-pattern and
density, and Landslide affected population. Landslides can be caused by poor
ground conditions, geomorphic phenomena, and natural physical forces and
quite often due to heavy spells of rainfall coupled with impeded drainage.
The main features of landslides are:
• There seems to be a relation between intensity of rainfall and slope failures.
• Majority of the catastrophic mass movements is confined to the overburden without
affecting the underlying rock.
• Improper land use practices such as heavy tilling, agricultural practices and settlement
patterns have contributed to creep and with drawl of toe support in many cases.
DDMP KULLU
Page 57
• A common factor noticed in most of these vulnerable slopes is deforestation in the
recent past, cultivation of seasonal crops and increase in settlements.
• In all the vulnerable slopes terracing/contour building is adopted mainly to prevent
soil erosion and to enhance percolation during dry season for cultivation of cash crops
as well as seasonal crops. Invariably, in all these cases, natural drainage lines on
slopes are blocked or modified without adequate provision for surface drainage of
excess storm water during high intensity rains prevalent in the area.
• In some areas development activities like construction of buildings, road cuttings,
embankments, cut and fill structures causes modification of natural slopes, blocking
of surface drainage, loading of critical slopes and with drawl of toe support promoting
vulnerability of critical slopes.
7.3.2. Landslide Mitigation
In general the chief mitigation measures to be adopted for such areas are:
• Drainage correction.
• Proper land use measures and forest management.
• Reforestation of the areas occupied by degraded vegetation.
• Creation of awareness among local population.
• Preservation of ground cover and stabilizing slopes, construct drainage
and terracing.
• Control runoff and settlement relocation.
• Eliminate real estate disclosure laws.
7.3.3. Landslide Preparedness
The main measures of landslide preparedness are listed below:
• Reinforce threatened structures.
• Install land shift monitors
• Conduct community education.
• Install monitoring, warning and evacuation systems
7.3.4. Landslide Response
The response mechanisms that are to be followed after the occurrence of
landslides are:
• Stability of new formation.
• Reinforce against secondary slippage.
DDMP KULLU
Page 58
• Evacuation.
• Conduct search and rescue (use of earth moving equipment).
• Provide emergency shelter for evacuees.
• Provide medical assistance.
• Remove debris.
7.3.5. Landslide Recovery
The recovery steps to be followed from the disaster of landslides are listed
below:
• Re-seed denuded areas.
• Begin new land-use planning.
• Relocate people.
• Begin agricultural recovery.
7.3.6. Specific Suggestions for Landslide Mitigation
The following suggestions are to be adopted for the mitigation of floods:
• Deforestation/ clear felling of trees on mountain slopes and river
catchments should be stopped or kept to the minimum.
• Forecast and warning systems should be improved.
• There should be proper river bank protection by constructing
embankments and using anti-erosion measures.
7.4. FOREST FIRE: Response, Recovery and Mitigation
7.4.1. Forest Fire Information
Forests face many hazards but the most common hazard is forest fire. Forests
fires are as old as forests themselves. They pose threat not only to the forest
wealth but also to the entire regime of fauna and flora seriously disturbing the
bio-diversity and ecology and environment of a region. During summer, when
there is no rain for months, the forests become littered with dry senescent leaves
and twigs, which could burst into flames ignited by the slightest spark. The
Himalayan forests have been burning regularly during the last few summers,
with colossal loss of vegetation cover of that region.
The causes of forest fire are either natural causes such as lightning which set
trees on fire, high atmospheric temperatures and dryness (low humidity) or man
made causes such as the fire caused by when a source of fire like naked flame,
DDMP KULLU
Page 59
cigarette or bidis, electric spark or any other source of ignition comes into
contact with inflammable material. Each fire may burn forests from a few
hectares to several thousand hectares depending upon the season, vegetation,
type, forest intensity, and direction of the wing and topography of the area.
7.4.2. Forest Fire Preparedness and Mitigation Measures
Forest fires are usually seasonal. They usually start in the dry season and can be
prevented by adequate precautions. Traditional methods of fire control are
inadequate and limited in India. The modern methods of fire control are yet to be
placed on the ground in the required measure.
• Fire codes and zoning and conducting inspections.
• Pass no smoking laws and provide fire safety information.
• Fight drills and installing exit signs.
• Call boxes/smoke detectors and mutual aid agreements.
• Fire fighter training and automatic sprinklers.
7.4.3. Forest Fire Response and Recovery
The following response and recovery mechanism are to be followed in case of
forest fires:
• Fight fire and contain fire.
• Activate mutual aid agreements.
• Raze burned out buildings.
• Rebuild and reforest.
7.4.4. Forest Fire Precautions
The following are the important precautions against fire:
• To keep the source of fire or source of ignition separated from
combustible and inflammable material.
• To keep the source of fire under watch and control.
• Not allow combustible or inflammable material to ply up unnecessarily
and to stock the same as per procedure recommended for safe storage of
such combustible or inflammable material.
• To adopt safe practices in areas near forest.
• To incorporate fire reducing and fire fighting techniques and equipment
while planning a building or coal mining operation.
DDMP KULLU
Page 60
• In case of forest fires, the volunteer teams are essential not only for fire
fighting but also to keep watch on the start of forest fires and sound an
alert.
• To arrange fire fighting drills frequently.
7.4.5. Specific Suggestions for Forest Fire Mitigation
The recommendations for the mitigation on forest fires are listed below:
• Fire prevention may be done by education, enforcement and by reducing
the hazard.
• Fire prevention education can be given by training, signs and poster
display, exhibition, circulation of literature and visual ads etc.
• Restrictive regulations such as prohibiting smoking in forests, regulation
of visitors to certain forest areas and on certain activities may be
imposed.
• Agricultural practices including weeding, cleaning, removal of dead
leaves, use of chemicals as weed killers and by constructing firebreak to
work as a barrier for preventing fires crossing from one area to another
may be adopted.

Mitigation Plan:
Details of plan for execution of Risk Mitigation activities at village Bhahang, Kullu,
Himachal Pradesh
Duration of implementation of risk mitigation activities: 5th
August 2010 to 30th
September
2010.
Description and rationale for the project activity for risk mitigation measure:
Bhahang is situated very near about 3 km distance from Sub division Manali and 21 km from
block Naggar. Bhahang is one of the villages in Shanag panchayat along with Gosal and
Shanag itself.
A village of 42 households, Bahang village has two parts i.e. Paddar and Nehru kund. Total
local population of the village is 235 which include 106 general, 83 Sc and 46 ST people.
Male population is 120 and female is 115. Male – female ratio of the Naggar block is 932.
In addition to the local Himachali people, 343 Nepali people also live in the area and work as
seasonal labourers.
Shanag and Gosal are situated at right bank of river beas while Bahang at left bank. All the
three hamlets are prone to floods. 1995 flood has affected all the three hamlets badly. Five
local streams 3 in Bahang and one each in Shanag and Gosal makes the area prone to flash
floods. Paddar and Nehru kund area is covered with high sensitive rocks which makes the
area prone to landslide. The landslide of March 2008 has already killed 5 people and
damaged many shops, houses and vehicles. One temporary bridge constructed at Beas River
is the main communication link between Bahang and Gosal. Through this bridge children go
to their schools and people go to health sub centre and other important places. When this
bridge gets damaged during monsoon people have to travel a long distance. Village Bahang is
prone to hazards like flood, flash flood, landslide and cloud burst. Hazard map of the village
DDMP KULLU
Page 137
prepared through PRA shows that 1995 flood in Beas River has damaged the houses,
agriculture land, orchards, schools, and dispensary and foot path. Some structures like
private houses, shops, primary school has been rebuilt while some structures like junior
school, and dispensary has been repaired. Still more than 60 percent affected area is full of
boulders and debris etc.
Cloud burst of 2001 has also causes large damage to the land and structures. On its north
eastern side this village is covered with a sensitive rock which uses to slide time to time.
Rolling stone can damage local inhabitants as well tourist, local people passing through the
road. This makes it hazard prone. Landslide of Nehru kund has taken the life of 5 people and
damaged shops, houses and vehicles. In addition three local nalas arising from the hills make
the village prone to flash flood.
History of disaster of the village shows incident of flood in Beas River in the year 1947,
landslide from rock in 1978, flash flood in 1988 and 1992.
13.8. RESOURCES BY DEPARTMENTS:
(a) DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF PARBATI H.E. PROJECT, STAGE -II
Disaster, either natural or manmade, have been main hurdles in the development of
civilization since ages and effect humanity on long term basis. Restoring the affected area
socially, economically and environmentally is a long and protracted process. Disaster
Management has always been associated with relief and rehabilitation. The integration of
counter disaster measures with the overall area development schemes is expected to minimize
the debilitating effects of the natural calamities.
The major disaster which may occur in Hydro Power Stations/Projects in Kullu region are
Cloud bursts, Floods, Landslides, Fire & Accidents, Earthquake, Strikes and Electricity Grid.
To tackle above disaster situations, ministry of power had proposed “Disaster Management
Group” at different level e.g. Central level, regional, state level, plant level.
According to 3.4(IV) (Constitutions of Disaster Management Groups), the project PHEP
Stage-II, follows under “Plant Level Emergency Management Group”. And accordingly
EMG groups at each working sites have been made.
Parbati H.E. Project Stage-II is scattered in an around 120 Kms of area and the project’s three
major construction sites falls in three valleys namely, (Barshaini) Manikaran valley,
(Sheelagarh) Garsa valley and Sainj valley. The administrative complex exists at Nagwain.
Keeping in view about the geographical feasibility “Emergency Management Groups” has
DDMP KULLU
Page 138
been made at each site. The EMG group at each working sites of the project is also
maintaining the safety data pertaining to all hazardous materials likely to cause emergency.
Special fire frightening rescue operations, first aid facilities have been made. An emergency
call out list of the key personnel’s who have to contact in case of emergency has been
prepared keeping in view of the Emergency Management Group of the particular sites has
been drafted for emergency control.
Control room is a nodal centre in terms of disaster Management which performs the function
of collecting and transmitting information to the appropriate places and people. Therefore
Control room at each working site is being maintained round the clock by regular employees,
which is equipped with latest telecom communication facilities. Further for the situations that
can occur in case of emergency due to earthquakes, landslides, floods, cloud bursts etc. the
Project has already deployed equipments, ambulance to tackle the above crisis. All the
important information of the district administration in case of emergency is also available in
the control rooms.
As media plays an important role in building communication network, it stands as a mode of
interaction with the different sections of society and feeds the right information at the right
time to the right people. Therefore, the project head or the person deployed keeps in touch
with the various Medias and disseminate information whenever necessary.
All the employees and the stakeholders of the project are the first and last to face the disaster.
So educating them and preparing them for the recurring disasters are of vital importance.
Keeping this in mind the project and conducted various safety management programmes and
awareness camps at different sites of the project and arranged various awareness campaigns
to involve the stakeholders and encourage youth volunteers.
Infrastructure in terms of health, transporters, trained manpower and equipments like
wireless, telephones, satellite phones etc. are available at each site and its maintenance is
being done time to time.
To tackle the fire accidents, two fire tenders have been set-up at our working sites, offices
and residential areas of the project, i.e. at Sainj and Nagwain, which is being checked
periodically. Regarding above, fire safety trainings are also being conducted.
In case of floods, dams, water storage structures, de-silting, bank protection and watershed
management are being followed to lessen the environment degradation. Another long term
strategy in disaster management plan of the project is biomass production by planting trees
shrubs.

3.0 Disaster Management Plan
3.1 Disaster is a sudden, calamitous event bringing great damage, loss and devastation to
life and property. The damage caused by disasters is immeasurable and varies with the
geographical location, climate and the type of the earth surface/degree of
vulnerability. This influences the mental, socio-economic, political and cultural state
of the affected area.
Generally, disasters are of two types – Natural and anthropogenic/Manmade. Based
on the devastation, these are further classified into major & minor disasters. Some of
the disasters are listed below:
DDMP KULLU
Page 143
Major natural disasters
� Flood
� Cyclone
� Drought
� Earthquake
Minor natural disasters � Cold wave
� Thunderstorms
� Heat waves storms
� Mud slides
Major manmade disaster � Setting of fires
� Epidemic
� Deforestation
� Chemical pollution.
Minor manmade disaster
� Road / train accidents, riots
� Food poisoning
� Industrial disaster/ crisis
� Environmental pollution
3.2 Disaster near Project area in the Sainj valley
The topography of Sainj valley is mountainous in nature and population is settled
along the slope of mountain in the gorge area as well as along the River Sainj.
Generally, cloud burst, flood in monsoon season, landslides, mudslides near Pagalnala
etc have been observed near the Project area which causes threat to life and significant
adverse effects on the socio-economic aspects of this area. Due to presence of
hydroelectric projects in this valley, the chance of severity of damage is more on these
hydel components. Moreover, Sainj valley is connected to National High way No-21
near Aut (Traffic tunnel) with single PWD road; therefore, it is solitary root for
evacuation of people to safe place, mobilization of equipments etc in the events of any
emergency.
3.3 Disaster associated with Construction activities of Project
Parbati H.E Project is under the advance stage of construction. While carrying out
construction activities it is anticipated that any emergency situation may occur at
construction sites of project which may cause threat to life and property. Probable
emergency may be Work site injury, loose fall/collapsing of tunnel & trapping of
workmen, explosion of blasting materials; flooding of intake tunnel, vehicle accident,
civil disturbance etc in addition to the natural or climatic factors which may also
trigger the disastrous events.
3.4 Disaster associated with Operation of Project
During operation of project, impoundment of water is created due to reservoir filling
behind the dam. It is anticipated that dam burst/breach may occur due to natural and
or manmade factors which may cause loss of life & property in the downstream area.
Detailed disaster management plan for operation phase specific to Dam safety shall be

Disaster Contingency Plan:
Contingency planning leads to Organizational readiness in the anticipation of an emergency.
This includes management of human and financial resources, availability of emergency
supplies and communication preparedness. Such planning can help mitigate the destructive
effects of a disaster by ensuring timely and effective provisions of humanitarian aid to those
most in need. “Time spent in disaster response planning equals time saved when a disaster
occurs”.
The different schools in District Kullu may have different types of events or known risks. The
following disasters are common in the schools of District Kullu.
1. Occurrence of Earthquake
2. Flash Floods and Cloud Bursts
3. Fires
DDMP KULLU
Page 164
4. Land Slides and Rock Slides
5. Biological Related Disasters
6. Road Accidents
The above mentioned events, risks or disasters can take place in the schools of Distt. Kullu at
anytime. These risks can cause the loss of lives or property. So the effective steps should be
taken to save the life of school children, staff and property by preparing disaster management
plans in the district and all schools should have a disaster management committee.
Disaster Preparedness: Preparedness means to be ready to face the natural disasters which
occur without any warning. To face the above listed disasters one should have the knowledge
of these natural problems. Knowledge of natural disaster can be obtained from the literature,
workshops, rallies, speeches. Planning for preparedness in the schools of Distt. Kullu is
discussed as below:
1. Earthquake Preparedness: In case of earthquake the following should be considered in
the plan:
I. Teachers and students must be aware of earthquake occurrence. Awareness can be
provided through workshops, rallies, speeches in the morning assembly.
II. The schools must be designed and built as per the norms laid by the Bureau of Indian
Standards codes.
III. Retrofitting should be done in the already designed and constructed buildings.
IV. More than one entrance and exit should be in the classrooms on the basis of strength
of the classes, so that the samples could be avoided.
V. Tips to the students and staff be given as what to do before, during and after the
occurrence of the earthquake.
VI. Mock drilling to be conducted during school hours. All schools of the district must be
covered in the above said plan.
2. Flash Floods and Cloud Bursts: Most of the schools of the district are located on the
banks of the rivers and nullahs. These schools may be damaged by flood during monsoon
season or by cloud burst. GSSS Goshal and Goshaini schools are already affected by flash
floods. The following steps should be taken during such time:
I. The new school buildings should be constructed at least 200 meters away from the
banks of rivers or nullahs.
II. If possible existing schools at the banks of river or nullahs must be shifted to some
other place.
DDMP KULLU
Page 165
III. Crate walls must be erected along the banks of the rivers or nullahs.
IV. In the catchment’s area of rivers and nullahs of the concerned schools afforestation
must be done with the help of school children and the local administrative bodies.
3. Fires: Fire can take place anywhere. GSSS Manikaran is an example where last year fire
broke out from the kitchen of the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) which damaged the building of the
school. Measures taken to protect the buildings are:
I. Fire Extinguisher equipment must be installed in all the buildings of the school.
II. Staff and students (especially class IV and chowkidar) should know how to operate
the equipment.
III. MDM kitchen should be at a distance of existing school buildings.
IV. Storage of fire wood, LPG cylinders and charcoal must be in separate rooms or sheds.
4. Land Slides and Rock Slides: These are the major problems of the hilly region which can
also cause widespread damage to buildings and lives. The following measures must be taken:
I. Deforestation on the mountain slopes and the river catchments must be stopped.
II. Check dams may be constructed in the beds of nullahs.
III. To control the surface runoff.
IV. High and strong walls must be erected behind the schools for the protection of rock
slides.

(h) DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF HPSEB DEPARTMENT
During any flood, earthquakes or cloudbursts etc, the damage can be occurred on the power
lines, transformers and poles etc, which will affect the power supply to the area. The Control
room also established for Disaster Management where T&P items, vehicles, emergency lights
are available to meet any eventuality to repair the power supply systems. Foremen and line
staff who are responsible for operation and maintenance of power supply of the area are
skilled persons. Here only T&P telephone and mobile phones are available.
As a plan, at the district level a quarterly meeting of Disaster management is suggested.
Mock drill rehearsal should be carried out under the guidance of expert people off and on, so
that every person who is directly involved in rescue operations during disaster should know
what to do and what not to do.
(i) DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD
Indian Oil Corporation is handling highly inflammable petroleum products, which can be
highly dangerous for public if not handled in a proper manner. There can be three exigencies:

(m) DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF GOVERNMENT COLLEGE KULLU
The purpose of Disaster Management Plan is to establish policies, procedures and an
organizational structure for response to inevitable. The plan contains clear strategies and role
played by the campus based Management team during the initial response and throughout the
emergency. The plan also outlines the responsibilities of the Crisis Management Team
consisting of the College Principal, Nodal officer and senior members. For a “College Safety
network” there are adequate communication, coordination and collaboration among the
various units. Nothing in this plan shall be construed in a manner that limits the use of good
judgment and common sense in matters not foreseen or covered by the elements of the plan.
Organizational Statement, roles & Responsibilities
• The Disaster Management Plan is a campus based plan that guides the Disaster
Management Team during a major emergency. The team leader or their designee on
each campus would be responsible for the following actions:
• Ensuring that notification is made to emergency responders (Police department, fire
department emergency medical services, etc), to the Emergency Management Team
(EMT) along with the Crisis Management Team (CMT).
• Coordinating with responding emergency personnel.
• Ensuring that Command Centres (designated locations on campus) are operational
with all necessary communication and emergency equipment.
• Determining if a lock down or a full or partial evacuation of any building is necessary
and initiating that process is warranted.
Notifications
Contact numbers for emergency services units (fire, police, EMS) along with Government
agencies (office of Disaster Management, Board of Health, Environment Agency, Poison
control centre, Red Cross and National Response center for chemical, oil and chemical/
Biological Terrorism) are also maintained at the Command centers. Medical facilities, utility
DDMP KULLU
Page 175
companies (electricity, water, gas, and telephone) and the contractors (elevator, plumbing,
electrical, sprinkler, hazardous material cleanup, and smoke/fire restoration) are maintained
along with the emergency contact numbers for all current staff, faculty and students.
Emergency Equipment
Campus is equipped with a reasonable supply of emergency needs eg. Fire fighting
equipment, fire extinguishers, blankets and sands,etc.
Emergency Management Team
Campus has identified an Emergency Management Team. Under their direction the EMT will
be responsible for assessment and implementation of emergency procedures (evacuations,
lockdowns, crowd control, access controls and coordination with responding emergencies
services.) The EMT consists of representatives from:
Safety and Security: Building & Grounds, Student Development and Campus life,
Information systems, other designated personnel.
Crisis Management Team
In the event of major emergency an executive level Crisis Management Team will gather to
direct the handling of the crisis.
Communication with the campus community and General Public
In the event of emergency, College’s Information line will become information Hotline
Number that will provide information regarding individuals confirmed to be on Campus.
College has a mass notification. Prior to, or during emergency situation, we have the ability
to notify students, faculty, staff, and others that we may deem necessary, via text messaging
e-mails, cell phones, home phones, of any pending emergency.
Community Roles
Each community member has a role to play during an emergency.
Role of Students
Every student should familiarize themselves with the emergency procedures and evacuation
routes in building they live in or use frequently. They should evacuate building in an orderly
manner when an alarm sounds or when directed to do so by emergency personnel. They
should evacuate to pre-designated emergency Assembly Area.
Role of Faculty and Staff
Every member of the faculty and staff familiarize themselves with emergency procedures and
evacuation routes.
DDMP KULLU
Page 176
Notification Guidelines
Notification to evacuate a building will be made by means of the fire alarm, public address
systems, hand held public address horns, telephones, word of mouth or any other means that
may be available at that time. In the event of fire, college employees, students and the visitors
evacuate the building. In non-fire emergencies, a decision to evacuate will be based on the
scenario. Consideration will be given to the specific threat (hazardous material incident,
explosion, bomb threat, building collapse, Earthquake, etc.) its context (time of day, its
likelihood etc.) and the recommendation of public safety officials. When the order is given to
evacuate a building for any reason, the procedure is basically the same. Occupants are
instructed to follow life safety skills, not to use elevators and to evacuate by way of the
nearest safe stairway. They are instructed to exit the building and proceed to a pre-designated
Emergency Assembly Area. If a decision is made not to evacuate, the Emergency
Management Team members will have the responsibility to pass the word throughout the
building or the entire campus.
Lock Down Procedures
In the event of a lock down, you will be instructed to either simply remain inside the building
or to move quickly out of common areas and into the nearest classroom or office.
Plan to combat various Disasters
1. Training camp in the college for staff as well as students.
2. Demonstration by concerned departments.
Lecture and seminar by learned resource person.
4. Alternation in the infrastructure of existing building eg. Window, door etc for exit purpose
and to make them resistant for various disaster.
5. NCC, NSS, Rovers and Rangers and other responsible volunteers are selected and make
them more aware for the various disasters by concerned department.
Details of manpower available are:
a) N.C.C. (Air Wing) : 74 Boys +50 Girls= 124
b) N.C.C. (Army Wing) : 110 Boys and Girls
c) N.S.S. : 200
d) Rovers and Rangers : 25 Rovers + 25 Rangers= 50
Training for Staff and Students
How to prepare, what to do and where to go.
DDMP KULLU
Page 177
Staff and students are trained so they are ready for any inevitable (Fire, Earthquake, Floods,
Cloudbursts, building collapse, epidemics etc)
“Educating a student is educating Parents and community”
Educate the student through play, rallies, paintings, debates and essay, poster and slogan
writing. There is need to have trained citizens who may give effective support to the
Government machinery and supplement its efforts in the hours of need.
Essential equipments/machines required for handling building collapse and fire fighting
should be kept ready in each units so that in case of a localized and smaller disaster the DMU
of that area is itself is in a position to handle the situation with the help of Fire Brigade.
All the members to be trained to handle rescue operations so that immediately on reaching
the place of incident they start helping the victims.
Each DMU should be directly linked telephonically with a Hospital in the area so that at the
time of emergency the DMU as well as Doctors attached to particular DMU may reach the
spot without any loss of time and assault the victims of disaster.
Every DMU to associate PWD engineers of the area so that the engineers also reach the site
of incident and guide DMU and others in the matters of rescuing victims trapped inside
building.
For each DMU: - NCC, NSS, rover and rangers and other responsible volunteers are selected
for the following emergencies: -
1. Volunteers to be trained in fire fighting and rescue operations. At the time of crisis they
should reach the spot wearing a prescribed color jacket/cap and start helping the police / fire
brigade officials.
2. Volunteers to be trained for Para-medical help to assist the Medical Team at the spot.
They should have a separate color jacket/ cap as well.
3. Volunteers to be trained for controlling traffic as well as crowd and protect the person and
property of the victims in the hours of crisis. They should wear a different jacket/ cap.
Army officers may be requested to train the volunteers. The volunteers for disaster
management units should be given intensive training on holidays and those who exhibit
courage and grit during situations should be honored and adequately rewarded by the state.

Basically the Institute has expertise in Mountain Rescue and can play a vital role in the field
of special training for Mountain Rescue we have only 13 numbers of Instructors who have
been trained in Mountain Rescue. Most of the times they are deployed with trainers for the
purpose of imparting training in different disciplines of adventure sports. It is assured that in
the times of crisis of disaster, all available trained staff can be deputed to tackle the situation,
but on many occasions, it has been observed that the trained staff is not available to extend
the help as they are deputed at far off places. No doubt the Institute is competent in the field
of Disaster Management training and can play a role of paramount importance for capacity
building in the area.

1. Objectives of the Disaster Management
The disaster management plan of Horticulture Department in Kullu district has been
formulated with the aim and objectives to prevent and mitigate loss to Metrological,
biological and natural disaster which results in loss to fruit plants and produce. The main
hazards like hailstorm, droughts and floods occur in the district which not only causes loss to
fruit plant but also causes major financial loss to the far mining community. In this disaster
management plan hazard, wise evaluation, assessment and resource management has been
discussed in detail to prevent and mitigate losses due to natural disaster in horticulture crops.
2. Hazard evaluation & remedial measures:-
In view of the past experiences of the damages caused due to the natural- calamity it is
necessary to take preventive measures to avoid or mitigate the effects of such hazards. There
is a history of following natural calamities occurring in different sub- division of Kullu
district in the past, which are elaborated with remedial measures to prevent these calamities.
a. Forest
The term frost term refers to the occurrence of temperature below freezing point affecting
plants and crops. Frost occurs as a result of low temperature, humidity and poor air drainage
coupled with abrupt fall in night temperature and heat loss due to radiation on cloudless
nights.
Remedial measures:-
• Identify frost pockets in the districts (where forest occur during December to
February).
• Introduction of frost resistant variety.
• Provide surface irrigation facility.
• Install over head sprinklers.
• Apply foggers and smoke.
DDMP KULLU
Page 183
• Strengthen frost forecast and warning system.
• Prune affected portion after new growth in 6 inches.
• Supply plants/ seeds at subsidized rate in frost affected areas.
• Encourage farmers to establish water harvesting structures.
• Give imitate cover spring to fungicide.
• Give immediate spray of micro nutrient to rejuvenate affected parts and encourage
fresh growth.
b. Drought:-
Agriculture/ Horticultural drought occurs when precipitation during the year goes below
average as a result plants are unable to get adequate moisture to support healthy growth. Due
to this rise in temperature there can be short fall in chilling hours and flowering in the tree
can be 2-4 week early because of low atmospheric humidity and fluctuation in temperature
fruit set can hampered and more insect and pest attack occurs.
The district is highly prone to agriculture drought due to lack of assured irrigation facilities.
Only 18% area under crops in irrigated and major chunk of cultivated area is rain fed.
Following remedial measures are suggested to prevent or mitigate the effect of drought in the
district.
Remedial Measures:-
• Create water harvesting/ storage structures for which subsidy is aviable
• Install tube/ bore well for which subsidy is available under HTM.
• Water conservation methods like mulching, drip irrigation is suggested.
• Drought resistant varieties should be introduced.
• Provide relief per norms in CRF/NCCF such as subsidies on fertilizers, pesticides and
mulching materials.
c. Hailstorms:-
Hail in a form of precipitation which consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice. Hail forms in
storm clouds when super cooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei.
In the district every year 20-30% crop is damaged due to hail storm. Entire Kullu district is
hail prone especially Lug Valley and Kharahal Valley of Kullu, Sianj and Banjar Valley of
Banjar and Anni Valley of Ani Blocks are highly prone to hailstorms. Major hail prone areas
in Kullu district are:-
Kullu Block: - Brahman, Choparsa, Mangarh, Manjhot, Dugilag, Sari, Flaan, Mansha,
Bhunter, Bhalyani Panchayats.
DDMP KULLU

Banjar Block:- Nohanda, Tung, Shilli, Sharchi, Mashyar, Galidhar, Shansher, Banogi,
Dhongi, Kanon Panchayats.
Naggar Block:- Raison, Shirar, Devgarh, Neoli, Puid, Chansari, Seogi, Gahar, Talogi,
Kararsu, Fozal Panchayats.
Remedial Measures:-
• Farmers should be encouraged to adopt ant hail nuts to prevent the damage caused by
the hail storm every year, for which assistance in available under HTM@ Rs 10 per
sq. meter for 5000 sq meter.
• Installation of Anti Hail gun on experimental basis at four locations in Shimla district
will definitely play pivotal role in mitigation of this problem in near future.
• Advised to give cover spray of blitox @ 600gm/200 ltr of water immediately after
hail storm.
• Advised 2 to 3 sprays 500-600 ml multiplex/ agromin per 200 ltr of water to
rejuvenate affected parts and encourage fresh growth.
• Advised 1% spray of urea in effected after hail storm.
d. Landslides/ Floods/ Excessive Rains:-
Landslides are among the major natural Disaster or Calamities in the world. In hilly terrain of
Kullu district due to its typical physical nature of terrain landslides and floods occur
periodically and occupy a major concern. Landslides and floods are recurrent phenomenon
which causes huge loss of lives and property.
Remedial Measures:-
The main thrust of flood protection programme undertaken in the area so far been on
structural measures.
• Embankment/ Bank flood walls.
• Lakes, Law lying depression tank, reservoirs can be constructed.
• Channel improvement to increase the area of flow or the velocity of flow.

2. Advance Planning for Kharif 2011
We have made advance planning for ensuing Kharif season by making proper assessment of
inputs like seeds, fertilizers and pesticides and their pre-positioning. Arrangements for 35,000
quintal seeds have been made for Kharif 2011. Besides, natural resource conservation
technology for enhancing production and productivity, region specific crop plan by
identifying suitable crops/ varieties, supply of seeds and other inputs, promotion of improved
agronomic practices shall be followed. In the ensuing Kharif season, timely sowing of Maize,
Rice and other crops shall be ensured. In rice lands, early maturing varieties shall be adopted.
As per the requirement, arrangements of Kharif seeds have already been made. It has also
been decided to go for 100% seed treatment for the seeds procured within the state. However,
to meet deficit, only treated seed will be supplied by the Seed Corporations. The requirements
of fertilizers have already been given to Government of India for issuing month-wise supply
plan. Fertilizer requirement for Kharif 2011 would be 68,000 MT. The pesticides have also
been arranged.
Drought Management Strategies Rabi 2010-2011 and Planning for Kharif 2011 (Agri.
Deptt.)
In order to mitigate the drought situation arising out of deficient/ scanty rains in the State in
the current Rabi season, various strategies have been communicated to field officers from
time to time. In the current Rabi season there has been a massive damage to crops, due to
deficient/ scanty rains in October (-73%0, December (-71%), January (-83%0 and March (-

Page 195
70%). Besides, in March and April there was increase in temperature to the extent of 5-6
degrees C than normal which has adversely affected the Rabi crops. As per preliminary
assessment, the damage to Rabi crops is the extent of 35-40% which may further increase.
Drought Mitigation Strategy:
1. Contingency Planning
Department has made contingency crop plan for next Kharif season. If the rains fail, we will
be covering the unsown areas with Pulses, Oilseeds, Fodder in July. For the ensuing kharif
season, advisories will be issued to the farmers to save their crops through life saving
irrigation by using sprinkler/ drip system.
2. Crop Insurance
Crop Insurance Scheme is being publicized widely and farmers are being persuaded to get
insurance for Maize, paddy, potato and ginger up to 30th
of September,2011. The field
extension functionaries have been asked to make wide publicity and have a close liason with
financial institutions.
3. Optimum Nutrient Use
Optimum Nutrient use is beinf ensured through soil health cards. For this purpose, soil testing
services are being geared up and maximum soil samples are being drawn and analyzed in the
month April-June, 2011. Wherever deficiency of micronutrients is there, the farmers are
advised to go for micronutrient application. Assistance on Micronutrients is available under
NPSHM.
4. Fodder
For increased fodder availability, emphasis is being laid on coverage of more area under
cultivated fodders like Chari, Bajra. A scheme has also been sanctioned under RKVY for
promotion of cultivated fodder which is being implemented in letter and spirit. The crop
residues are being used as fodder through more efficient way by adopting fortification and
preparing feed blocks. For increasing fodder availability, multi-Chari and Bajra is being
promoted.
5. Efficient Irrigation/ Water Harvesting
For efficient use of irrigation water, sprinkler and drip irrigation systems are being promoted
in a big way through on-going schemes as well as through Pt. Deen Dayal Kisan- Bagwan
Samridhi Yojna (phase-II). Farmers are being advised to go for moisture conservation
techniques like mulching so as to conserve moisture. Rain Water and Roof top water
harvesting shall be promoted for pre-sowing irrigation, supplementary irrigation at critical
DDMP KULLU
Page 196
stages. In-situ rain water conservation, contour and field bunding, watershed treatment, gully
plugging is being advocated through on-going programs. The surface and ground water is
being used judiciously for irrigating the crop at critical stages. Recharging of ground water
through kucha ponds, exploitation of ground water through bore wells, shallow wells shall be
given thrust.
6. Organic Farming
Organic Farming shall be promoted in a big way as organic manures have high water holding
and moisture conservation capacity which is useful for sustainable agriculture. Vermi-
composting is also being promoted.
7. Assured Power Supply
Close liaison is being maintained with the Electricity Board authorities for ensuring adequate
supply of power for pump sets, tube wells, and lift irrigation schemes so as to provide pre-
sowing watering to fields for timely sowing of kharif crops. For this, meeting of District
Irrigation Committees shall also be convened under the Chairmanship of Deputy
Commissioner. Close liaison is being made with Irrigation Department in order to ensure that
all their schemes are operational.
8. Kisan Credit Cards
Bankers have been sensitized to disburse crop loan to the affected farmers and ansure Kisan
Credit Cards to all the farmers. For this purpose, a special campaign was launched by
organizing joint camps with the banks. The Deputy Commissioners have also been requested
through Video Conference by Chief Secretary in this regard.
9. Advisories through Media
Advisories are being issued through Doordarshan and AIR which are further transmitted to
the farmers. The IMD website is being used for getting update in rainfall and weather forecast
and also the crop advisories. The Department is also issuing advisories through
Doordarshan/AIR. Similar advisories shall be issued by the District Officers specific to the
Districts in consultation with KVK’s.
10. Liaison with KVK’s
Close liaison is being developed with Krishi Vigyan kendras for developing area specific
technologies and extension staff shall be motivated to launch aggressive drought mitigation
efforts along with Kharif campaign. The Farmers Advisory Committees constituted at Block
level are also being motivated to join hands in implementation of various drought mitigation
programs and in launching aggressive Kharif campaign.

The administration can ensure involving NGO’s for preparing and training local youth.
The NGOs can take up responsibility of preparing local rural youth volunteers. This
includes capacity and perspective building of local community, people’s organization,
Community Based Organizations, research, documentation and publication, advocacy,
lobbying and policy influencing establishment of disaster management resource centre at
grass root level along with preparing the rural youth as a disaster volunteer in Uttaranchal
and Himachal for establishment of effective response mechanism and reducing risk
through preparedness. A continuous process of skill enhancement and capacity building
may be undertaken for these volunteers by organizing trainings and orientation programs
at institutions having expertise on disaster management. Currently there are 11 disaster
youth volunteer in Kullu district. These volunteer groups are being groomed to act as the
‘strength of the district’ in minimizing the impact of disasters on the society.

Functional Mechanism
We would like to propose a District Coordination Committee, may be
framed/constituted GO-NGO for Disaster Mitigation and Management. The
Interagency Coordination committee can initiate the process of preparing Disaster
Management Plan at the Panchayat level or the Ward level, involving all
stakeholders. This committee can further undertake activities related to capacity
building, trainings, hazard & vulnerability, mitigation, damage assessment, health &
emergencies in converging disaster mitigation and management activities with the
existing developmental scheme in the area. The coordination committee can further
have its chapters at the block level and at the Panchayat level. Disaster volunteer
(DV) from each districts will be associated with core members of the NGO or with
their link partners in other districts. Brief history will be generated for each DV by
member organization and would be kept recorded at regional and central level. A
long term formal and informal training course will be developed in form conducting
classes, literature sharing. Practical Exposures will be made by connecting them with
different disaster management experts and practicum. It will be an ongoing course for
DDMP KULLU
Page 200
four or five years. They will be provided with different level of certificates right from
O level to E level depending upon their acquired skill.
Sustainability of Intervention
Disaster volunteer may sustain for long time and continue to help the society on a
long term basis due to several reasons:
• Recognition and enhanced self esteem.
• Volunteers are from their local groups and social institutions and are
committed to provide the support to community in any form.
• Partner organizations and member of Mountain Forum will have long standing
support and linkages with these volunteers through providing the conceptual
and physical input to volunteers.
• It will provide the space and opportunities to the volunteer to learn more
through exposure and class room learning.
• They will be making so many friends through interactions at different
platform. It will establish the social chain among the volunteer itself.
• They will be working for conserving their own Himalayas and Habitat.
• They will develop their own federation and forum and will be the strategic
partner in governance structure for mitigation and management of disasters.
