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.

16. 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

17. 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.

18.  Hazard specific plan

Landslides – Earth movement, water

20. 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.

21.  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.

22. 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.

24. • Earthquake resistant design for engineers and
architects
• Seismic strengthening and Retrofitting of buildings
and infrastructure
• Construction technology training for construction
workers
• Assessment of seismic safety of buildings and
infrastructure
• Damage and Needs Assessment Search and Rescue
& First Aid
• Flood Rescue
• Mass Casualty Management
• Trauma Management
• Hospital preparedness and Mass Casualty
Management
• Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue and
Medical First Response
• Climate Change and cross cutting themes

26. 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.

27. 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.

29. L0
denotes normal times which are expected to be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention, mitigation and preparatory activities.
L1

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.

31. 7.2 IRS Components

32. 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).

34. 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.
