3. 1.Introduction FLOOD It is a natural event or occurrence where a piece of land (or area) that is usually dry land, suddenly gets submerged under water.  .   Some floods can occur suddenly and recede quickly. Others take days or even months to build and discharge. When floods happen in an area that people live, the water carries along objects like houses, bridges, cars, furniture and even people. It can wipe away farms, trees and many more heavy items.

6. 4.Background of Assam state Floods are a recurring phenomenon in Assam, as 45% of its area is prone to floods. Assam lies in the middle of the Brahmaputra and Barak basins . The Brahmaputra basin is one of the largest river basin in the northeast region of India. The river Brahmaputra originates from the semi-arid region of south Tibet. Apart from the heavy rainfall that occurs in the State , the Brahmaputra and its tributaries and the Barak river and their tributaries swell up during the monsoon on account of rains in the upper reaches of the catchment areas of various rivers, which include China, Myanmar and Bhutan, besides the neighbouring states of India i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Nagaland.

13. 5.2 On Impact The situation began to turn critical ever since the state experienced pre-monsoon showers in April and May this year. The breach in embankments along the Brahmaputra river and its various tributaries has caused flooding in 23 out of 35 districts in the state and has submerged crops in over 2 lakh hectares . Consequently , 1.1 million people have been affected, with 28 persons losing their lives and over 1.5 lakh persons seeking shelter in over 460 relief camps . With 80% of the famous Kaziranga National Park submerged , Assam’s pride – the one-horned Rhinos and other wildlife across the state, have had to face the brunt of swelling waters. Over the years, maximum erosion has taken place in South Assam region, with Makalmua in Nalbari , Majuli island , Goalpara area and Morigaon being most affected .

15. 6 . Preparedness Preparedness action is 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 through to sustained recovery . Preparedness is based on a analysis of disaster risks (risk assessment) and good linkages with early warning systems and including such activities as: 1. contingency planning 2 stockpiling of equipment and supplies 3. the development of arrangements for coordination 4. evacuation and public information, and 5. associated training and field exercises

16. 6.1 Preparedness Plane Business continuity plan Operational plan Addition private sector and utility/lifeline agencies should prepare plan that threaten to disrupt their normal operations during events. The output of these processes can be captured in business continuity plan. which provides details of tasks (before, during and after disaster), timeline for actions and roles and responsibilities for response and minimize service outages.

19. 6.2 Continuing Community Awareness, Education & Training Community is the key stakeholder and action taken across will build resilience . Capacity is enhanced through focused and targeted means of awareness building , education and training, and practice through drills .

20. The pedagogy, content of packages and approach of delivery will depend on range of parameters including geographical, social, economic and cultural aspects. ASDMA has outlined the needs through conduct of Training and Needs Assessment study for all key stakeholders in the State.

21. 6.3 Training and Certification Standardization of training is important and for this there is a need to develop target oriented course, evaluation and certification. Reporting of training across the State should be made available through the form of annual report . Assam State Disaster Management Authority(ASDMA) has already undertaken Training Need Assessment study to identify the training and non-training requirements of the different departments and capacity gap in DM . ASDMA has identified key national resource institutions to develop training module and impart quality assured trainings.

23. 6.4 Knowledge Management Strategy Networking of knowledge is essential for strategic thinking in DM. There is need for establishing a platform which can feed to the needs of information sharing in DM as well as provide access to knowledge database on DM in Assam and the North-East region. ASDMA shall establish knowledge hub in disaster management with an aim to collaborate and connect stakeholders, share information and capture knowledge. The knowledge hub can serve as a regional hub for exchange of information and knowledge products in Disaster Management across North-East States of India.

24. 7. Response Natural disasters and other severe incidents have shown the importance of emergency response in order to save lives, minimize damage and ensure continuity of social functions as well as business operations of the State. Response activities are sequence of actions required including conduct of search and Rescue , mobilization of emergency equipment's and services, undertake operations to keep population and assets from harm’s way. Response requires immediate activation of functions, high level of planning, understand nature of the hazards/disaster ( sudden onset, slow onset, extend incident), interpretation of warning, gathering of structured information, mobilization/deployment of resources and demonstrate coordination skills while undertaking operations.

25. Response level L0 L1 L2 L3

26. L0 denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring, documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities. L1 L2 L3 specifies disasters that can be managed at the district level, however, the state and center will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed specifies disaster situations that may require assistance and active participation of the state, and the mobilization of resources at the state level. disaster situations arise from largescale disasters where districts and the state may not have the capacity to respond adequately and require assistance from the central government for reinstating the state and district machinery.

29. 7.3 Community Participation in Disaster Response A number of community based organizations like NGOs, Self Help Groups (SHGs), Youth Organizations, Volunteers of Nehru Yuva Kendra sangthan (NYK), Civil Defense (CD) & Home Guard, etc., and workers of different projects funded by Government of India like National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS ) etc., normally volunteer their services in the aftermath of any disaster. A large number of community based Disaster Management Teams (DMTs) / volunteer were also formulated in the United National Development Programed (GoI-UNDP).

31. 8. Mitigation Mitigation means lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters . The adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented fully, but their scale or severity can be substantially lessened by various strategies and actions .

32. 8.1 Mitigation M easures Encompass Design improvements or hardenings the infrastructure to hazard risks Engineering techniques Enhancing the serviceability of systems and its elements under the action of the hazard N on-structural elements R isk sensitive future land use planning and regulatory frameworks for building standards Improved policies Planning/buildings resilience of the communities and systems including lifeline infrastructure Ability to recover

33. 8.2 Goals for Hazard Risk Mitigation Hazard identification Minimize loss of life and injuries Minimize damage, disruption of services Minimize damage to environment

34. 01 02 Monitoring safety and strengthening of critical infrastructure/facilities, lifeline infrastructure from all hazards 03 Implementation of National Building Code 2007 and relevant BIS code for life safety in all construction and development activities 04 Development of State wide comprehensive mitigation policy and plan PATH TOWARDS HAZARD MITIGATION I ntegration of DM in future/ development plan, new programmes/schemes and projects
