NDMA SCHEME “AAPDA MITRA - TRAINING OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS IN DISASTER
National Disaster Management Authority funded Scheme on Aapda Mitra - Training of community volunteers in disaster response in Assam on most flood prone Kamrup (M) district:
RESPONSE IN ASSAM”
1. Aim of the Scheme:
To train community volunteers in disaster response in the selected most flood prone districts of India.
2. Need/Rationale for the Scheme:
(a) In case of any disaster or emergency, before any government machinery & support reaches or outside help gets galvanized, it is the Community which has to respond immediately. As the Community plays the role of First Responder, it is critical that there is adequate awareness and preparedness at the Community level especially amongst people residing in the most vulnerable areas of the country.
(b) When a disaster happens, volunteers from the affected community are normally the first to act. The impact of volunteers in disaster response can be tremendous, as the extent of damage – in terms of economic and human loss – is greatly influenced by the initial response to a disaster. Therefore, there lies a critical need to train these volunteers in certain basic skills in disaster management so that they are able to respond in an informed and prompt manner as well as assist the concerned agencies in rescue and relief operations. Over the years, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Forces (SDRF) and other State responders have successfully contributed towards saving of lives and securing of assets in disaster situations in India. In a similar manner, it would be important to train the volunteers drawn from Civil Defence, Home Guards, Youths and members of the communities etc. so that they are able to assist the community in effective disaster response.
(c) Floods have been a recurrent phenomenon in India and cause huge losses to lives, properties, livelihood systems, infrastructure and public utilities. India’s high risk and vulnerability is highlighted by the fact that 40 million hectares out of a geographical area of 329 million hectares is prone to floods. On an average every year, 75 lakh hectares of land is affected,1600 lives are lost and the damage caused to crops, houses and public utilities is Rs. 1805 Crores due to floods( National DM Guidelines on Management of Floods 2008). The frequency of major floods is more than once in five years. We are also witnessing trends of areas getting inundated with Floods which are not considered to be flood prone on account of unpredictable weather and climate change phenomena. The devastation caused by floods in recent years like the Mumbai Deluge -2005, Kosi Mega Flood-2008 in Bihar, Uttarakhand Flash floods 2013, Jammu Kashmir Floods -2014 and Chennai Floods -2015 highlight the critical need of strengthening local community capacity for response to minimize loss of precious lives.
(d) The said NDMA scheme is to provide the community volunteers with the basic skills that they will need to respond to their community’s immediate needs in the aftermath of a
disaster ( with a focus on flood). These trained volunteers can assist in saving lives using the basic techniques of disaster response, coordination and management.
3. Objectives:
i. To train able-bodied community volunteers in disaster response (flood relief and rescue) at the taluka/block level in Kamrup Metro and Jorhat districts. These trained volunteers will be called as Aapda Mitra.
ii. To develop standardized training modules for the set of trainings under the scheme.
iii. To train the volunteers in life saving skills of disaster response, coordination and assistance, and provide personal protective equipment and emergency responder kit.
iv. To create a Community Emergency Stockpile/Reserve at the district/block level containing essential light search and rescue equipments, medical first aid kits, etc.
v. To disseminate training and education tools developed under the project to more number of flood prone districts in subsequent phases of the scheme
4. Expected Targets:
i. 200 trained community volunteers in each of the selected most vulnerable flood prone districts in 25 States of India ( Total 400 trained volunteers in 2 most vulnerable flood prone districts of Assam in 36 months –)
ii. Central Training Institute will be empanelled to impart trainings to volunteers.
iii. A full-fledged Information and Knowledge Management System which will be dynamic in nature and will be reservoir of all training materials, inventory of resources, etc will be integrated with NDMA website
5. Expected Outcomes:
a) Development and standardization of training modules by a National Technical Agency (NTA) under the guidance of National Technical Committee (NTC).
b) National Empanelling of Training Institutions (Training/Academic/Non – Governmental Organizations) State/UT wise which in turn will be training hubs for selected volunteers
c) Trained and certified volunteers who will have the necessary knowledge and skills to address the following: ( focused on flood relief and rescue skills)
i. Would be able to know the types of hazards that are most likely to affect their region, homes, workplaces, and neighbourhoods.
ii. Will be able to take steps to prepare themselves, their families, their neighbourhoods with respect to flood relief and rescue
iii. Will be able to undertake rescue operations from emergency situations such as floods, flash -floods and urban flooding
iv. Will be able to provide basic first aid to the affected disaster victims.
d) Development of Information Knowledge Management System (including software, inventory database, knowledge tools, etc.) for ongoing capacity development interventions, refreshers and deployment of trained human resources during disasters at National level linked to States and UTs
e) A Community Emergency Stockpile/Reserve at the district/block level containing essential light search and rescue equipment’s, medical first aid kits, etc.
f) Mock drills and Refreshers will be conducted once in 2 years in each of the project districts to rehearse / hone the skills of the certified volunteers
• Public Sector Companies/Private Sector/Industries who are interested to train their staff; training programmes can be organised for them under the scheme as well.
6. Timeframe :
• Initially it was for 24 months. 2016-2018 • Extended for another one year up-to 2019.
