P R E F A C E
Dakshina Kannada being a coastal district is vulnerable to various disasters. The
District Disaster Management Plan is key for its management. It will play a signicant role to
address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district effectively. The information
available in DDMP is valuable as it is designed based on the history of various major incidents
that occurred in the district. Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather
than bulky one. This plan has been prepared based on the guidelines provided by the National
Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
. Details of equipments, manpower & other resources are given importance in the plan
so that during disaster their optimum use can be derived. The resource inventory, will give the
detailed information to any ofcer at the time of disaster. S/he can view the available
resources and make the best use at the time of such emergencies. List of Nodal Ofcers of
Emergency Support functionaries and their resources, control room of various departments,
ambulances, blood banks, public health centers, have been included in this plan.
This plan deals with signicant issues like Hazard, Risk, and Vulnerability and the
consequent response mechanism in disaster management. The plan has been the most
signicant tool to the response manager to deal with the crisis within the limited period and to
make optimum use of the available resources.
. While preparing this plan, most of the issues, relevant to crisis management, have
been carefully dealt with. During the time of disaster there will be a delay before outside help
arrives. At rst, self help is essential and depends on a prepared community which is alert and
informed. Efforts have been made to collect and develop this plan to make it more applicable
and effective to handle any type of disaster. As a whole, this is a genuine effort of district
administration to develop the plan and any suggestions and comments, would be most
welcome as to be included in the next edition. We are thankful to all the institutions and
persons who have provided us the vital information in the process of making the Plan.

1.1 Rationale
Administrative Headquarters of Dakshina Kannada is located at Mangaluru city. The
major rivers of the district, that are Netravati and Gurpur rivers, ow through Mangaluru
Taluk. Mangaluru in particular and the district in general is well connected by road, rail, sea
and air.
The national highway NH 66 (Kanyakumari – Mumbai) as well as the Konkan Railways
passes through the length of the district from south to north along the coast. The NH 75 from
Mangaluru to Bangalore passes through the breadth of the district from west to east.
Recently, some of the state highways have been upgraded to National Highway No. 169,
which extends from Mangaluru to Sholapur which passes between Mangaluru and
Moodabidri in the district, No. 73 Mangaluru to Vellupuram and No.275 Mani to Mysore.
Apart from Konkan railways, there are two major rail lines namely Mangaluru– Bangalore and
Mangaluru – Calicut.
The Mangaluru International Airport is located at Kenjar about 14km from the city. Dakshina
Kannada District is located in the southern Indian State of Karnataka along the western coast
of the peninsular India. The district is situated between Arabian Sea on one side and the
Western Ghats on the other. The following surround the district:
North� -� Udupi district
East� -� Chikmagalur and Hassan districts
South� -� Kodagu and Kasargod (Kerala) district
West� -� Arabian Sea
The Dakshina Kannada District comprises of 7 taluk's for administrative purpose. They are:

Mangaluru has a modern all weather port 10 km. north of the town at Panambur, which is
gateway to the state of Karnataka. Considering the ideal location of the district and presence of
good infrastructure facilities like port, industrialisation has crept in and many major industries
INTRODUCTION

like Mangaluru Chemicals and Fertilisers Ltd (MCF), Mangaluru Reneries and
Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL) and few Liqueed Petroleum Gas (LPG) bottling plants as well
as Petroleum Oil & Lube Products (POL) depots have come up in the district during last few
decades. In addition to these, number of other hazardous chemicals, both toxic and ammable
are imported at New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) and distributed to various places both
within and outside the district. This phenomenal growth of the district has brought with it the
possibility of a disaster affecting large area if not controlled immediately.
Besides these hazardous industries in Mangaluru Taluk, The Karnataka Forest Development
Corporation has set up factories in Sullia Taluk and Puttur Taluk for production of centrifuged
concentrated rubber latex and crepe from rubber latex and scrap. The process is hazardous in
nature.
M/s. Puttur Petro Products Pvt. Ltd., located in Bantwal taluk, stores LPG in three bullets, two
of 30T each capacity, and one bullet of 40T Capacity. In the factory, LPG received by road
tankers is bottled in small cylinders.
Mangaluru - Bangalore POL pipeline originates at Bala Village and passes through
Mangaluru , Bantwal and Belthangady taluk's in the district.
New Mangaluru Port is located at Panambur on the West Coast of India mid way between
Kochi and Mormugao, which is at a distance of around 15kms from Mangaluru city. It is an all
weather port and the maritime gateway of Karnataka State. The Port is well connected by road,
rail and air. The port is connected with 3 National Highways. The national highway NH66 is
passing near the port. The highway stretches from Kochi to Mumbai linking many important
cities and towns in its en route. The NH 75 connects directly Mangaluru to Bangalore and NH
169 Mangaluru to Sholapur. The port provides a railway siding at its Panambur yard. The
railway links spread into the neighboring states of Maharashtra, Kerala and Tamilnadu. The
rail network extends to major industrial cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore and
Mumbai.
The Mangaluru Airport is located at Kenjar, Bajpe which is around 18 kms away from the
Port. There are daily ights to Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai, Cochin & Dubai.

Apart from Konkan railways, there are two major rail lines namely Mangaluru – Bangalore
and Mangaluru – Calicut.

1.7 How to use the Plan:
Plans will work only in the case when present organizational structure is responsible
to its non-emergency duties i.e. if a job is done well everyday; it is best done by that
organization during emergency. Crisis should be met at the lowest and most immediate level of government. Plans call
for local response supplemented if necessary, by the next higher jurisdiction. Voluntary response and involvement of the private sector should be sought and
emphasized. The emergency management partnership is important to all phases of
natural and man-made disasters.
1.8 Approval Mechanism of the Plan: Authority for implementation (State Level/
District Level orders):
11
As per Section 31(2) of the Disaster Management Act 2005, there shall be a plan for disaster
management for every district of the State. The DDMP, Dakshina Kannada, has been prepared
by the District Disaster Management Authority. Also, as per Section 31(6) of the Disaster
Management Act 2005, the District Authority shall send a copy of the District Plan to the State
Authority which shall forward it to the State Government. The approved draft plan has been

training events, exercises and real-world incidents to determine whether the goals,
objectives, decisions, actions and timing outlined in the plan led to a successful
response. The purpose of an exercise is to promote preparedness by testing polices
plans and training personnel.

HAZARD VULNERABILITY, CAPACITY & RISK
ASSESSMENT (HVCRA)
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This is the most important part of the plan. Vulnerability assessment deals with the socio-economic vulnerability, housing vulnerability and environmental vulnerability. Dakshina Kannada is a highly industrialised district of Karnataka State and is exposed to multiple hazards, which may result in disaster if they are not controlled properly. In this section, effort has been made to identify all possible hazards in the district. These hazards have been studied further in subsequent chapters to know their possible impact during any disaster. The various hazards that are possible in the Dakshina Kannada have been broadly categorised as follows.
20 21
Cyclones/Storms Cyclone is a vast violent whirl or vortex in the atmosphere following formation of an intense low-pressure area. The district falls within the cyclone area of storms originating in the Arabian Sea and those that enter across the Indian Peninsula from the Bay of Bengal. 2019 District experienced 4 major cyclones in Arabian Sea (Vaayu, Hika,Kyarr, Maha) due to cyclonic affect Heavy rain fall recorded. However, historically it is seen that cyclones are not as severe as and as frequent as in the Bay of Bengal along the eastern coast of India. Historically, the worst cyclone to hit the district was during the year 1979. No major damage was reported during that period.

FloodThere are two major rivers owing in the district namely Netravathi and Gurpur Rivers. Netravathi River ows through Belthangady, Puttur and Bantwal taluk's before joining the Arabian Sea at Ullal in Mangalore Taluk. Similarly the Gurpur River ows through Belthangady and Bantwal taluk's before joining the Arabian Sea at Thannirbhavi in Mangalore Taluk. In addition to these, there are other smaller rivers like Mulki River, Pavanje River etc., owing through the district.
thHighest amount of Rainfall expressed (400mm) in Mangaluru Taluk on May 29 2018 which caused Urban Flooding.
Historically there have been incidences of oods in the low-lying areas along the major rivers especially Netravathi and Gurpur. A separate ood disaster committee formed in the district under the aegis of the DDMA have identied the areas vulnerable to ood.
Drought Drought is a natural hazard that differs from other hazards since it has a slow onset, evolves over months or even years, affects a large spatial extent, and cause little structural damage. Like other hazards,the impacts of drought span economic,environmental and social sectors and can bereduced through mitigation and preparedness.Because droughts are a normal part of climatevariability for virtually all regions, it is importantto develop plans to deal with these extendedperiods of water shortage in a timely, systematicmanner as they evolve.
Dakshina Kannada (Mangaluru and Bantwal) are drought affected Talukas in the district 2016-17 havebeen declared by state government. Drought conditions are due to decit of rainfall and area under sowing.
Boat Capsize
Boat capsize is normally caused by overcrowding. In Dakshina Kannada, public transport by waterways is minimal. Due to bad weather, the shermen who go for shing are unable to reach the seashore. Several accidents have taken place in the district and many human lives have been thereby lost. Fishing is an important profession in the district and shing boats venture mostly into the sea. The effects of a boat capsize would be localised and the district administration may require help from Navy, Coast Guard or other professional divers to rescue the people.Ferry service is very common in the district and thereby chances of drowning are very high. Cases of man missing due to boat capsizing are regular features in the district during monsoon season.
Sea Erosion
Sea Erosion is physical phenomena that expose a coastal area to risk of property damage, loss of life and environmental degradation. The population that lives along or near our coastlines are an extremely vulnerable population. Erosion rates in specic locations vary because of various environmental factors such as major storms that can cause major erosion. Due to abundant natural resources and urbanization, population increases rapidly on the coastal zones. Various developmental projects have been set up in the coastal zone, placing great

pressure on it, leading to diverse coastal hazards like sea erosion, seawater intrusion, coral bleaching, shoreline change etc. The coastal region mainly affected by the cause of wind, tidal current, wave and human factors. So management of coastal region should be considered in a better way and efciently. Human activities such as shing, coral and sand mining, mangrove harvesting, seaweed farming, sewage disposal, urban expansion and tourism. Of particular note are dynamite shing, over-harvesting of mangroves, coral and sand mining, all of which have profound negative impacts on coastal stability and are thought to lead to coastal erosion and shoreline change.
Lightening
Lightning is a high-energy luminous electrical discharge from a thundercloud to the ground accompanied by thunder.
In the atmosphere, three types of discharges take place: 1) Thundercloud (intra-cloud), 2) One cloud to another (inter-cloud) 3) Cloud to ground (CG).
The third type of lightning takes a toll on life and property and so is of more concern . Lightning is a high-current electric discharge that occurs in the earth atmosphere and that has total path length on the order of few kilometers. The peak power and total energy in lightning are very high, the peak power that is dissipated by a lightning discharge is on the order of 100 million watts per meter of channel and the peak channel temperature approach 30,000 °C. Prediction of lightning as to the precise time and location is very difcult or impossible. However, somewhat a season or period of lightning occurrence at many regions is known.
Thunderstorm & Lightning has emerged as one of the major weather hazard of recent years in different parts of the district. Many people lost their lives and there were reports of loss to assets / property which affected lives, livestock, of the people.
Earthquake Dakshina Kannada is situated in Zone-3 and moderate prone to earthquake but still preparedness is necessary to avoid loss of life and property. In most earthquakes, the collapse of structures like houses, schools, Hospitals and public buildings results in the widespread loss of lives and damage. Earthquake also destroys public infrastructure like roads, dams and bridges, as well as public utilities like power and water Supply installations. The entire Dakshina Kannada falls under the Zone 3 of the earthquake classication as per Indian Standards, which is relatively safe. Historically there has been no incident of earthquake during last one hundred years. As the possibility of an earthquake in the district cannot be totally ruled out.
The above gure indicates that Mangalore and Dakshina Kannada District lies in Zone 3 (IS code) which is a low earthquake risk zone.
LandslideDue to heavy rain some parts of the district experiences landslides along with tree collapse leading to human loss. Landslide is a natural disaster whose effects are mostly localised. Landslides are likely especially in the ghat section beyond Charmadi in Belthangady taluk along the NH 75. This can be attributed to de-forestation in the region. There could be blockage of trafc and / or a few causalities during any landslide in the district.

Tsunami
The word Tsunami is derived from the Japanese word meaning "harbour wave" which is series of wave in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean. Earthquake, Volcanic eruption and under water explosion, meteorite
impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a Tsunami. Tsunami waves do not resemble normal sea waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may, instead, initially resemble a rapidly rising de, and for this reason they are often referred to as dal waves. Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called "wave train". Wave heights of tens of meters can be generated by large events. Although the impact of tsunami is limited to coastal areas, their destructive power can be enormous and they can affect entire ocean basins; the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was among the deadliest natural disasters in human history with at least 230,000 people killed or missing in 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean.
25
Important Facts to Know about Tsunamis
Tsunamis that strike coastal locations in the Arabian Sea Basin are most always caused Tsunamis by earthquakes. These earthquakes might occur far away or near where you live.
Some tsunamis can be very large. In coastal areas their height can be as great as 30 feet or more (100 feet in extreme cases), and they can move inland several hundred feet.
All low-lying coastal areas can be struck by tsunamis. A tsunami consists of a series of waves. Often the rst wave may not be the largest.
The danger from a tsunami can last for several hours after the arrival of the rst wave. Tsunamis can move faster than a person can run. Sometimes a tsunami causes the water near the shore to recede, exposing the ocean
oor. The force of some tsunamis is enormous. Large rocks weighing several tons along
with boats and other debris can be moved inland hundreds of feet by tsunami wave activity. Homes and other buildings are destroyed. All this material and water move with great force and can kill or injure people.
Tsunamis can occur at any time, day or night. Tsunamis can travel up rivers and streams that lead to the ocean.

The gure indicates that cyclones do not directly hit Mangalore Port or Dakshina
Kannada District but pass over the Arabian Sea and move towards Gujarat. (Severe
activity can be seen in the Bay of Bengal which is a high risk cyclone zone). The passing
of the cyclone towards Gujarat could cause strong winds to hit Dakshina Kannada.
TROPICAL STORM AND TSUNAMI RISK
Zone 2: � Less Risk
Zone 3: � Moderate Risk
Zone 4: � High Risk
Zone 5:� Severe Risk
The gure indicates that Mangalore is in Zone 3 which is moderate risk zone.
ForestFire
Forests are the most important renewable natural resource and play a signicant role in human
life andEnvironment. Prolonged dry weather and over exploitation have resulted in increased
frequency of forestFires causing signicant environmental impacts. Recurrence of re
incidents decreases the green cover bypreventing regeneration of forests. Many tribal
communities also live in and around forest areas. In summers, the incidence of forest res
increases due to high wind velocity and various other reasons. Dakshina Kannada has dense
forests along its eastern border in Belthangady and Sullia Taluk's. Historically there has been
no incidence of forest res in the district. However, chances of a forest re or a bush re in the
district cannot be totally ruled out. These types of re have a devastating effect not only on the
environment but also on the people living in and around the affected area.
Toxic Release
Ammonia, Benzene and are the major toxic chemicals handled in the district. Ammonia is
handled in large quantities in the Port and MCF in Panambur area. MCF has ammonia storage
tanks within their premises as well as in Imported Ammonia Terminal beside NMPT. There is
a 1.2 km long pipeline connecting the two storages, which crosses the NH 66 over a pipe rack.
Ammonia is also transported to Goa by road tankers.
Hazardous Chemicals are handled in various major industries in small quantities for water
treatment plants. The chlorine is handled only in tonners, which are transported by truck from
Uttara Kannada district where there is a manufacturing facility for chlorine.
Any release of these chemicals could result in toxic effect on general public over a large area.
Fire/Explosion
LPG and various POL products are handled in large quantities throughout the district, and
their storages are mostly concentrated in and around Panambur area. LPG is imported at
26 27
NMPT as well as manufactured by MRPL. The transportation from the port to various storage
tanks at Bala is done through pipelines. From there LPG is mostly transported to various parts
of the state by road tankers. There are chances of Fire / Explosion involving these hazardous
chemicals whose effects would be localised or widespread depending on various factors as
discussed later in the report.
Oil Spill
Large quantities of petroleum products are handled mostly in the NMPT where there are
chances of oil spill on sea in the region. The port is equipped to handle any oil spill in their
jurisdiction. The chances of oil spill on land or other water bodies are remote and even if there
is one, the effects would be mostly localised. The oil spill could also take place on high seas
affecting the district along the coastline during which the district administration may take help
of Coast Guard to take corrective steps.
Epidemic
Affecting disproportionally large number individuals within population, community or
region at the same time. The epidemic could be due to water- borne diseases like cholera,
hepatitis and others like Dengue, malaria which could affect large number of people and calls
for a plan of action by the district administration. The administration would ensure that
necessary steps are taken to control the spreading of disease, and provide medical help to
affected persons.
Food poisoning
Food poisoning is a phenomenon where a large number of people could get affected after
consuming contaminated food. This happens mostly during religious and social functions
during which food is prepared in make shift kitchen on mass scale. This calls for immediate
action by the district administration to provide medical attention, identify the source of
poisoning and take corrective actions.
Road Tanker Accident
Road accidents have the highest probability among disasters in Dakshina Kannada district is
located at the strategic location along the western coast. The location of the New Mangalore
Port at Panambur in the district along with concentration of MAH units around it and passing
of three national highways namely, NH 66, NH 275 and NH 75 through length and breadth of
the district has made it the hub of movement of various hazardous chemicals. Apart from these
national highways, there are other State highways and district roads where there are tanker
movements but to lesser extent as compared to national highways. The District along the
National Highways and State Highway are very accident prone. January 19, 2019, an LPG-
laden tanker was moving towards Bengaluru from Surathkal overturned near Padil, in the

outskirts of the city. Heavy gas leakage was observed and the power supply in the nearby areas
was cut off for several houses were evacuated and the residents were asked to move to safer
places.
Rail Accident
There could be two types of rail accident namely the one involving rail tankers carrying LPG
or POL where the consequential impact could be wide spread and the other being an accident
involving passenger train where there could be large casualties. In either case the district
administration would have to play a crucial role in meeting such emergency.
Aircraft Crash
Mangalore International Airport is situated at Kenjar about 14 kms from Mangalore Central
Railway Station. Presently there are around 22 scheduled ights and average 02 chartered or
private ights arrival and 22 scheduled ights and average 02 chartered or private ights
departures daily are handled by Mangalore International Airport for various destinations in
India and abroad. Passenger Trafc handled in the year 2012-13 is 10.32 lakh. Anticipated
passenger trafc growth is 10 % per year, amounting to 20 lakhs passengers by 2019-20. The
Mangalore Airport is situated close to MRPL (SE of MRPL) and there is every possibility of
aircraft ying over MRPL and industrial Area while takeoff and landing. Hence any untoward
events over this area will be disastrous which demands Disaster Management Plan.
On 22 May 2010, the Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operating Air India Express Flight 812 from
Dubai to Mangalore, India, crashed on landing at Mangalore. The aircraft overshot the runway,
fell down a hillside and burst into ames Of the 160 passengers and six crew members on
board, only eight passengers survived.
Any air crash outside the airport limits would be treated as an off-site emergency and hence
calling for activation of the District Disaster Management Plan.
Pipeline Failure
With advent of industrialisation of Dakshina Kannada, various cross- country pipelines have
been laid, mostly of them link to New Mangalore Port. These pipelines mainly handle LPG
and other petroleum products including crude oil. More recently, a new pipeline has been laid
from Mangalore to Bangalore for transportation of Petroleum products, which is being
commissioned (refer Fig 2.3). There would be drastic drop in the movement of road tankers
along this route once the pipeline becomes functional. As the pipelines pass through public
domain, any major accident involving a pipeline would call for activation of the Disaster
Management Plan. However majority of the pipelines are laid below the ground level and
suitably protected against all possible damages. All the underground pipelines have been
provided with cathode Protection system as protection against corrosion.
The 3.5 km long naphtha and FO pipelines of MCF from NMPT to MCF premises is laid
above ground and it is laid on the pipe rack of MSEZ at NH-66 crossing Similarly the 1.6 km
long Ammonia pipeline from IAT which is adjacent to NMPT to MCF is also laid above
ground and the line at highway crossing is also laid over a pipe rack. This pipe rack is properly
guarded against possible vehicle impact. Patrolling of these pipelines is done on a continuous
basis whenever there is transfer operation.
Dakshina Kannada is fairly peaceful and no terrorist activity is reported in the region so far.
Hence, the probability of failure of a cross-country pipeline due to terrorist activity is remote.
In case of a leak from the pipeline, the control system may not be sophisticated enough to
detect the same. Hence the leak has to be notied by the eyewitness to the owner who would
immediately shut down the pumping operation. This may not necessarily result in declaration
of the disaster. In absence of an eyewitness, the leak may go undetected in the incipient stages
and may result in a major disaster requiring activation of District Disaster Management Plan.
(In case of Mangalore - Bangalore POL pipeline cathodic protection and SCADA system for
communication and leak detection has been provided).
Building CollapseDuring recent years, many multi-storied structures have come up in the district especially in Mangalore city area. There are chances of these structures collapse either due to earthquake or due to poor quality of construction leading to large-scale loss of human life. This may require rescue operation on war footing with available means and constraints like narrow roads, poor approach etc.
StampedeThe district has many places of worships where there will be large congregation of people during annual festivals. There could also be a large gathering on other occasions like election meetings, eld dramas or during a sporting event etc. There are chances of stampede during this period due to failure of crowd control measures leading to loss of human life mostly of women, children and handicapped.

outskirts of the city. Heavy gas leakage was observed and the power supply in the nearby areas
was cut off for several houses were evacuated and the residents were asked to move to safer
places.
Rail Accident
There could be two types of rail accident namely the one involving rail tankers carrying LPG
or POL where the consequential impact could be wide spread and the other being an accident
involving passenger train where there could be large casualties. In either case the district
administration would have to play a crucial role in meeting such emergency.
Aircraft Crash
Mangalore International Airport is situated at Kenjar about 14 kms from Mangalore Central
Railway Station. Presently there are around 22 scheduled ights and average 02 chartered or
private ights arrival and 22 scheduled ights and average 02 chartered or private ights
departures daily are handled by Mangalore International Airport for various destinations in
India and abroad. Passenger Trafc handled in the year 2012-13 is 10.32 lakh. Anticipated
passenger trafc growth is 10 % per year, amounting to 20 lakhs passengers by 2019-20. The
Mangalore Airport is situated close to MRPL (SE of MRPL) and there is every possibility of
aircraft ying over MRPL and industrial Area while takeoff and landing. Hence any untoward
events over this area will be disastrous which demands Disaster Management Plan.
On 22 May 2010, the Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operating Air India Express Flight 812 from
Dubai to Mangalore, India, crashed on landing at Mangalore. The aircraft overshot the runway,
fell down a hillside and burst into ames Of the 160 passengers and six crew members on
board, only eight passengers survived.
Any air crash outside the airport limits would be treated as an off-site emergency and hence
calling for activation of the District Disaster Management Plan.

Cattle DiseaseIn the event of an outbreak of cattle diseases like foot and mouth disease, large population of cattle can get affected. Such emergencies will require help of veterinary doctors and possible disposal of large quantity of milk, milk products and meat.
Bomb ThreatMost bomb threats are made over the telephone by anonymous callers. Some threats are received in the mail or by other means, but these methods are rare. In each case, though, it must be remembered that the communication should be taken seriously and that the person receiving it should be prepared.
No solution can be offered to eliminate either bomb threats or planted bombs, but one can be well or badly prepared to cope with them when such incidents happen. It is essential for organizations to design and implement both good physical security and a comprehensive bomb threat response plan.
There must be a comprehensive bomb threat response plan in place long before the rst scare so that when a threat is received, everything works expediently: the reporting of the threat; the analysis; the decision on a course of action; and the implementation of that response. Policies and procedures regarding such incidents must be established before the fact, and personnel must be trained and practiced in their roles before they are called on to perform them in a real situation.
Even the best contingency plan will not prevent bomb threats from disrupting normal daily activities. However, this disruption can be minimized if the employee who receives the bomb threat knows how handle it. It is very important that the people most likely to receive bomb threats be trained to handle such incidents in the most protable manner.

INDUSTRIES:
Dakshina Kannada is one of the highly industrialised districts of Karnataka with 15 MAH (Major Accident Hazard) units (refer table 2.8). And 9 Potentially Hazardous Industrial units (refer table 2.9). Most of these units are concentrated around the New Mangalore Port area at Panambur in the Mangaluru Taluk. These units import, store, handle and export various hazardous chemicals, both ammable and toxic Any major accident within the premises of these units may result in a disaster having off-site implications. These industries fall under the purview of Department of Factories, Boilers, and Industrial Safety & Health. These industries have their own On-site Emergency Plans to meet any disasters, which are conned to their premises. These industries have been considered in the Consequences Analysis under Chapter 4 wherein representative failure cases involving these hazardous chemicals with off-site implications have been considered to know the maximum impact distances under worst weather conditions. This would ensure proper planning for mitigating any disaster arising from these industrial units having off-site implication.
The industrial and transport hazards in the Dakshina Kannada as discussed under the Chapter 2 have been studied in greater detail under this chapter for their consequences. Only representative worst case failure scenarios whose effects could go beyond the limits of the particular industrial unit have been considered for preparation of this Disaster Management Plan. For other minor disasters, the on-site emergency plan of the concerned industrial unit is expected to take control of the situation. However, in case of transportation, hazard would normally result in an off-site disaster as the failure could take place in the public area.The scenarios so selected for both Industrial and Transportation hazards are the worst case scenarios, probability of occurrence of which is very low. This is to ensure proper planning during any worst possible industrial disaster.

2.11 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS – THEORY
The Risk Analysis Study for some of the MAH units have already been carried out by
different agencies using different software packages. To ensure uniformity in the results of
various units, consequence analysis of selected failure cases for various industrial units and
installations have been carried out again using PHAST Professional software developed by
DNV Technica of UK.
PHAST Professional Software Package
PHAST Professional provides the most advanced collection of consequence models for
hazard analysis. This software calculates the consequences of accidental or emergency
releases of toxic or ammable chemicals into atmosphere. It uses mathematical models for
discharge, dispersion, re and explosion to predict extent of toxic and ammable effects.
The results are presented in a tabular as well as graphical form.
The software takes into all the aspects like nature of chemical stored/handled, conditions
under which they are stored / handled and the possible weather conditions at the time of
release.
Data Requirements
Following data are collected and used for Consequence Analysis:
Data of hazardous chemicals in each industrial unit:
Quantity stored and storage details like type of tank, dyke arrangement
Conditions under which the chemical is stored or handled
Safety features provided in the system like on line detection system, control system
and interlock details
Data for various Pipelines transporting hazardous chemicals in the district:
Physical data about the pipeline like length, diameter, design pressure and
temperature etc.
Various chemicals transferred through the pipeline
Operating conditions under which the chemical is transferred like ow rate,
temperature and pressure.
Operating philosophy of the pipeline and details of in built safety features like leak
detection and remote isolation facilities etc
Safety features like control system and interlock details
Meteorological data for Dakshina Kannada based on the historical data for 30 years
published by Indian Meteorological Department (IMD):
Wind velocity and direction
Relative humidity
Ambient temperature and pressure
Stages in Consequence Analysis
The main components of Consequence Analysis study are:
Failure case identication and denition
Simulation of identied scenarios using Simulation software (PHAST-
professional)
Analysis of results from consequences calculation
Failure Case Identication and Denition
The rst stage in any risk assessment study is to identify the potential accidents that could
result in the release of the hazardous material from its normal containment. This is
achieved by a systematic review of the facilities together with an effective screening
process.
Chemical hazards are generally considered to be of three types:
Flammable
Reactive
Toxic
Where there is the potential for conned gas releases, there is also the potential for
explosions. These often produce overpressures, which can cause fatalities, both through
direct action on the body or through building damage.
The range of possible releases for a given failure case covers a wide spectrum, from a
pinhole leak up to a catastrophic rupture (of a vessel) or full bore rupture (of a pipeline).
However for preparation of the Disaster Management Plan, the Worst Case Scenarios have
been considered for the consequence analysis. This is to ensure preparedness for worst
possible disaster.
For each identied failure case, the appropriate data required to dene that case is input
into the PHAST software for consequence modelling.

Dispersion Modelling
Dispersion modelling aims at estimating the distances likely to be affected due to release of
certain quantity of toxic or ammable gas. After release of hazardous chemical, it mixes
with air and forms a ammable or toxic cloud, which could drift away from the source of
release. The ammable cloud could ignite or explode if it encounters source of ignition. The
toxic cloud could affect the site as well as population in the vicinity. The parameters
inuencing dispersion are:
Density of cloud
In hazard analysis the clouds, which are denser than air are usually of most concern. Clouds,
which are lighter than air will rise upwards and are therefore likely to disperse faster than
denser cloud. Denser cloud would settle at ground level and travel greater distance before
diluting to safe limits affecting the population in the vicinity.
Atmospheric Stability
Atmospheric stability is important with regard to the extent to which it suppresses or
enhances the vertical movement of the cloud in the atmosphere. Stability is dened in terms
of the vertical temperature gradient in the atmosphere. It is usually described using the
system of categories developed by Pasquill. This system uses 6 categories to cover
unstable, neutral and stable conditions; identied by the letters A - F. Neutral stability
occurs typically when there is total cloud cover and is designated category D (the
temperature gradient = adiabatic lapse rate). Unstable conditions occur when the sun is
shining because the warming of the ground increases connective turbulence; unstable
conditions are designated by the letters A - C, with A as the least stable condition. Stable
conditions occur on clear, calm nights when the air near the ground is stratied and free
from turbulence, and are designated by the letters E and F.
For the present study D stability class have been considered.
Wind speed and Surface roughness parameter
These factors are discussed together because they combine to inuence local turbulence.
The wind usually increases atmospheric turbulence and accelerates dispersion. The surface
roughness of the ground induces turbulence in the wind, which ows over it, and therefore
affects dispersion.
Since the site is located in industrial zone, but close to coastal area 0.1 Surface Roughness
Parameter has been considered for the study.
Flammable consequence Modelling
Consequence modelling for ammable chemicals provides impact distance for radiation
due to pool re and jet re.
Pool res & Jet res
Pool res and jet res are common re types resulting from res over pools of liquid of a
pressurised release of gas and/or liquid. These generally tend to be localised in effect and
are of concern mainly in establishing the potential for domino effects and employee
safety zones. Issues relating to spacing of critical equipment, etc. can be addressed on the
basis of specic consequence analysis for a range of possible pool res. The effects of a
pool re depend upon factors such as ammability, combustibility, the amount of
material released, temperature, humidity, the pool size, ame height and tilt of the ame.
Flash re
A Flash re is a non explosive combustion of a ammable gas-air mixture. In determining
the affected distance for ash re the ½ LEL dispersion distance of the ammable cloud is
considered.
Consequences of Exposure
Consequential risk zones show the geographical distribution of affected area. The damage
criteria for radiation in case of re and overpressure effect in case of explosion have been
given in Table 4.3 and Table 4.4 respectively.

OVERPRESSURE EFFECT OF EXPLOSION
55
CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
The release of hazardous chemical poses re, explosion or/and toxic hazard. Chemical
release may be due to leakage from gaskets/ange joint, rupture of pipeline due to over
pressure, corrosion or external mechanical impact or liquid hammer, malfunctioning of
equipment or isolation valves, failure of pressure relief system, failure of unloading hose,
etc. These basic causes of failures may be due to human error, lapse in control system,
design error, poor/wrong material of construction, poor maintenance, wrong operating
procedure etc.
The magnitude of consequence depends upon following parameters:
Inherent ammable/toxic properties of chemical; for example, propane is highly
ammable but it is relatively non-toxic. Physical state; for example, gaseous chemical releases are more dangerous than
liquid chemical releases (except saturated liquids). Chemicals released at high temperature and pressure could pose severe risk. For
example, consequences arising from release of ammonia from a storage vessel
under pressure and at atmospheric temperature are more severe than the same
release from a storage tank under refrigerated condition and at atmospheric
pressure. The rate of release is proportional to the area of leakage. Inventory of the chemicals; high inventory will pose high risk.
Worst Case Scenarios
Worst Case Scenarios (WCS), which can result into off-site emergencies, were developed
based on the nature and quantity of hazardous chemicals handled in various industrial
units and transported in Dakshina Kannada. The WCS are listed below with the industries
/ location handling these chemicals.

N.A. = Not Applicable (Within the industry premises)The population gures given in the table indicate the total population in the possible affected zone. Actual affected population during any disaster would be only a fraction of this due to following:
Only the population in prevailing wind direction would be affected The actual failure during any disaster may be less severe although worst case scenarios have been considered for arriving at
these gures. It is presumed that none of the mitigative measures work during any disaster. However in practise, these mitigative measures
help in reducing the impact

2.14 Discussion on Consequence Analysis
The results of the Consequence Analysis study have been summarised in the tables given
above. This gives the impact distances under worst weather conditions. The actual impact
distances during any emergency would be lesser depending on the weather conditions
prevailing at that time. These impact distances give an idea to the district administration the
extent to which the evacuation of the general public is required during any toxic gas release.
In case of ammable gas release like LPG, the district authorities should ensure the wind
direction which may keep changing on a continuos basis. This aspect should be taken into
consideration during the evacuation operation.
Attached below are the Mangalore taluka map depicting location and impact distances for
worst case scenario of various MAH units which are concentrated around Panambur area in
the district.
For detailed information on each of the MAH unit, villages that are likely to get affected
during emergency along with exposed population are given under ANNEXURE – 1 of this
report.

Scenario 1: Tanker / Bulk Carrier tug assisted berthing – Contact with jetty
Scenario 2: Contact - during operations in turning circle (large vessels)
Scenario 3: Grounding - during pilot age of deep draft vessel
Scenario 4: Collision with dredger within the navigational channel
Scenario 5: Grounding –Tanker / Bulk carrier transiting outer harbor
Scenario 6: Collision with small craft –Tanker / bulk carrier in harbor approach
Scenario 7: Collision between two vessels in outer harbor (Regulated trafc)
Scenario 8: Collision - passing vessel in port waters outer harbor (Unregulated trafc)
Scenario 9: Collision – Dragging anchor
In summary there are two categories of accidents having potential for causing major oil
spills have been identied:
Collisions
Groundings
The collision accidents are dependent on maritime trafc situation (channel layout, trafc
intensity, level of VTS management), weather conditions (wind, currents, and visibility),
vessel characteristics (vessel type, vessel age, manoeuvrability, and available bridge
equipment), human factors (experience and capability of the captain and his crew,
working conditions).
Groundings occur where there is inadequate water depth as compared to vessel draft, and
do not often result in releases. This is due to the fact that the riverbeds of the most
frequently travelled waterways are mostly soft mud or silts. However, there is always the
potential for signicant damage from rocks or debris, as well as physical distortion.

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGMENTS FOR
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
3.1 Introduction:
Most of the disaster situation is to be managed at State and District levels. The centre
plays a supporting role and provides assistance when the consequences of disaster
exceed district and State capacities. The centre mobilizes support in terms of
providing emergency teams, support personnel, specialized equipments and
operating facilities depending on the scale of the disaster and the need of the State and
District. Active assistance to an affected State/District would be provided only after
the declaration of a national level disaster, the national response mechanism has to be
prepared and any impending State or District disaster has to be impending State or
District disaster has to be monitored in order to provide immediate assistance
whenever required.
The Disaster Management Act, 2005 (DM Act, 2005) lays down institutional and
coordination mechanisms for effective disaster management (DM) at the national,
state, and district levels. As mandated by this Act, the Government of India (GoI)
created a multi-tiered institutional system consisting of the National Disaster
Management Authority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister, the State Disaster
Management Authorities (SDMAs) by the Chief Ministers and the District Disaster
Management Authorities (DDMAs) by the District Collectors and co-chaired by
elected representatives of the local authorities of the respective districts. These bodies
have been set up to facilitate the paradigm shift from the hitherto relief-centric
approach to a more proactive, holistic and integrated approach of strengthening
disaster preparedness, mitigation and emergency response. (Source NDMA

District Disaster Management Plan for Dakshina Kannada District 2019-20CHAPTER 4

Prevention & Mitigation Measures
4.1Introduction:
Disaster Mitigation contributes to lasting improvement in safety and is essential to integrate
disaster management in mainstream planning. Broadly mitigation ways can be divided into two
parts i.e. structural measure and non-structural measures. Structural measures undertake to
strengthen buildings, lifelines and infrastructure to withstand any hazard. Non-structural
measures emphasis on land-use planning, programmes for sustaining awareness,
dissemination of information materials on do's and don'ts at the time of disaster. Once the area
has been identied as hazard prone, it becomes important that the government and the
community should practice these above-said measures. Based on this ideology, mitigation plan
may vary according to hazards. The Dakshina Kannada district is being considered prone to,
Industrial Disaster, Disaster, lighting and re related hazards, incidences of landslides due to
loss of subsidence are also very frequent in District Dakshina Kannada.
4.2 Disaster Mitigation Measures:
As it has been discussed in the previous chapters that district Dakshina Kannada lies in Zone I.
Risk gets compounded when hazard meets with Vulnerabilities as high dense population, weak
physical structures and conventional construction technologies. Similarly, district is also
vulnerable to high degree of Industrial Disaster, lighting and re related hazards, incidences of
landslides due to loss of subsidence and chemical explosions. Although, district historically
there has been no incident of earthquake during last one hundred years.
Earthquakes can destroy buildings and infrastructure with secondary effects i.e. res,
embankments failures, release of poisonous gases, chemical explosions etc. Therefore it is
important to consider both primary and secondary effects into disaster mitigation planning.
So, an effective mitigation planning is necessary to reduce the risk involved in the district. For
efcient disaster mitigation, the pre-disaster phase needs to be utilized for planning and
implementing preventive measures on the one hand and working on preparedness activities on
the other. Disaster is caused due to failure of manmade structures, lack of preparedness and
awareness. So far, disaster mitigation efforts are mostly reactive.
Mitigation Measures:
Mitigation embraces all measures taken to reduce both the effect of the hazard itself and the
vulnerable conditions to it in order to reduce the scale of a future disaster. Mitigation aims
to reducing the physical, economic and to threats and the underlying causes for the
vulnerability.
84
Structural Mitigation Measures:
Building should be strictly conrm to the building bye laws. For an existing building,
retrotting or seismic strengthening is the only solution to make it Disaster resistant. In the
district all life line buildings such as major hospitals, schools, District Administration ofce
and the vital installation shall be retrotted. A panel of expert shall be approached for assessing
the structure and to suggest the type of retrotting required. Illegal construction,
encroachments, unapproved additions, alternations etc of residential building and conversion
of residential building in to commercial purpose etc shall be checked by the concerned
authorities with strict measures.
Theses unauthorized activities may lead to disaster in that particular urban area mitigation
measures to be in the district implementation of DM Policy.
Strengthening of life line buildings.
Retrotting of school and life line buildings.
Preparation of DM Plan at the district, Block and Village level, all schools in the
district.
Non-Structural Measures
Land Use Planning
Damage of buildings depends primarily upon the soil conditions and topology of the area
which are moderately favorable in the district. Anyhow, to analyze risk within district
microzonation planning should take place. It will help to guide modify land use planning in the
district accordingly.
Capacity Building and awareness generation
Country have a very few experts in mitigation planning. We must focus our attention to the
institutionally and manpower development at all levels. There is a need to train architects,
engineers, planners and masons in developing safe housing and infrastructure facilities.
Manuals have also been developed outlining methodologies for new constructions and
retrotting of old ones. A strong legal and enforcement framework with appropriate incentives
and punitive measures is required together with awareness programmes for general public. All
these components must be taken up simultaneously; ignoring one aspect for the other could be
counterproductive.
c. Insurance
Insurance brings quality consciousness in the infrastructure and a culture of safety by insisting
to follow building codes, norms, guidelines, quality materials in construction. It would enforce
safety standards by bringing accountability. Hazardous area should be announced, notied and
publicly displayed so that people would be motivated not to settle in those areas and insurance
be mandatory in insurance prone areas
85
4.3 Measures to be Taken - NATURAL DISASTERS
The natural disasters have widespread damage potential and may or may not come with pre-
warning. Hence the District Disaster Management Plan should be immediately activated to
ensure minimum loss of life and property.
Cyclone / Storm
Functioning of Control Rooms:
From the start of June, the control Room will be operational 24X7 at the District.
During normal time control room should monitor the preparedness activities during
pre-disaster, disaster & post disaster, dissemination of early warning on cyclone
situation received from Revenue Authorities.
Ensuring initiation of implementation of public health measures, monitoring trend of
diseases and cope with any situation arising out of disaster.
The line list of district RRT & block RRT with mobile No. of key nodal persons in
the cut of areas should be available at district level.
Preliminary Actions on alert signal from meteorological department:
Identication of likely affected areas
Map of Dakshina Kannada District showing areas that are likely to be affected by
cyclone are identied and divided into three zones, Zone , 2 and 3 as shown in attached 1
map with the population affected
After receiving alert from meteorological department, broadcast the information about
cyclone strike on Radio, TV channels and loud speakers mounted on police jeeps.
Contact Police department and instruct them to inform general public in their
respective areas (beats).
Move people from high risk areas to identied assembly points in lower risk areas
preferably zone 3 (or zone likely to be least affected).
Arrange food, water and medicine at designated assembly points.
Contact NMPT and shermen association and inform them about the possible cyclone
strike.
Fishermen should be advised not to go into high sea.
Ask port authorities to raise the appropriate signal in the port.
Casualty Services & Contingency Plan for Medical Relief Centre:-
During disasters arrangements should be made to provide casualty services 24X7 at all
health institutions.
Contingency plan to open medical relief centers (MRC) at strategic places to be
planned in advance. Those centers should be located at strategic places, so that they can

render services to disadvantaged population where existing infrastructures are likely to
be ineffective.
State experiences disasters/cyclone/epidemic each year, the contingency planning
should be made in such a way that we need not do the same plan each year & people
should be made aware about the plan.
Mobile Medical team should render the services regularly to displaced persons at their
place of shelter and in marooned villages.
Steps may be taken to make the people aware about the availability of services of 108
ambulances in the districts where ever it is available
Ambulance Services:
All the Ambulances of different health institutions of the districts should be kept in
readiness.
Simultaneously, other vehicles have got to be repaired & kept in road worthiness as far
as practicable so that they can be pressed in to service during emergency situation.
In case of non-availability of institutional ambulances, the ambulances may be hired
using Untied/ RKS fund of NRHM.
Wherever 108 ambulance services are available it must be utilized for referral of case
Monitoring action during cyclone
Contact re brigade control room and collect details of phone calls received during the
cyclone. This will help in assessing the magnitude of damage.
Contact electricity department and instruct them to cut-off electric supply wherever
there are overhead wires. (Especially in Zone 1 & Zone 2), to prevent short-circuiting
and causalities due to electrocution.
Contact state telecommunication department to assess any disruption in the network.
Contact Police to ensure that all roads in zone 1 & 2 are free from obstruction as far as
possible.
Contact NMPT to assess situation at the port.
Calling off emergency
Contact Meteorological Department and conrm that cyclone risk is over.
Have teleconferencing / meeting with Head of re dept, Head of the District Electric
Supply Board, and take stock of the situation.
Instruct the Electric Supply Board to resume power supply safely region by region and
give feedback.
Broadcast/telecast "all clear" on radio/ TV respectively.
Flood
Floods are natural calamities that have the potential to cause widespread damage to human
beings and property. Flood planning is perhaps the best protection against ood damage.
Floods occur after a pre-warning, enabling advance action.
Some of the important pre-actions are:
On receiving the ood alert information, the D.C. should issue a ood alert to all the
police thanas (stations).
The tehsildar's should be asked to immediately appraise the people living in the low
level areas about the possibility of ood.
Notify and inform general public about ood situation through radio broadcast or over
local cable TV network.
Additional District Magistrate should co-ordinate with the Chief Medical Ofcer,
DHO, as well as Rural Development Ofcers along with the District Inspector of
Schools.
Ensure that the complete evacuation of the locality / village in low-lying areas has taken
place.
The Tahsildar to ensure that the relief centres have the basic amenities to prevent spread
of diseases as well as give rst aid to the injured at the relief centre.

Main actions during ood should be:
In the event of a ood / inundation due to incessant rains it should be ensured that the
roads leading to the areas where the water accumulation is possible are completely
cordoned off.
All the entry points i.e. road entry points from the National Highway, should have
names of villages and the areas which are inundated.
In the event of ood or damage due to heavy rains the trafc suspension signal should
be passed on to the neighbouring districts.
The information should be relayed well in advance in order to prevent jamming of the
road in any section of the National Highway / District Road.
Apart from the road network being affected it is also likely that the train trafc could
also get affected. In the event of the same, it should be ensured that information
pertaining to the ood or damage to the bridge or inundation on the tracks alert should
be relayed to the Divisional Railway Manager.
Cut off electrical supply to prevent electrocution
Establish contact with the ECR for up-to-date status.
Post Flood actions include:
Clearing of debris and carcasses of animals and dispose suitably, to prevent outbreak
of epidemic.
Re-establish communication link and other services like electricity, transport.
Vaccination to persons against water borne disease.
Inspect all road and rail bridges for worthiness before opening the same for general
public.
The railways should inspect the railway lines for their worthiness and for the relief
trains to pass.

Flood Structural Mitigation Measures
Desilting/dredging of water bodies and deepening of water channel (khads)
Repair/Construction of embankments/ protection wall and maintenance of Flood
Channels, canals, natural drainage, storm water lines
Drainage improvement and Diversion of ood water in order to lower water levels in
the rivers.
Drought
Drought Management:
Drinking Water
There should not be shortage of drinking water
Drilling rigs should be deployed over drought affected areas for digging adequate
no. of wells at strategic points.
Tankers with potable water should be deployed to the affected rural areas making 3-
4 rounds during the day.
Installation and repairing of Hand Pumps
Contingency Crop Plans
Choosing suitable crops/crop varieties
Alternative crop strategies
Agriculture Ofcer should seek out contingency plan from the Ministry of Agriculture
and provide awareness to the farmers.
Livestock Management
Herds of sheep and goats recover fast, but cattle, buffaloes etc. grow slowly in numbers
Department of Animal Husbandry should ensure the provision of adequate fodder for
protection of livestock
Farmers can use sugarcane husk, sunower heads, groundnut/red gram/green gram etc. as
cattle feed
Drought Proong:
Harvest rain, involve communities, move from 'drought management' to 'monsoon
management'
Building of dams and irrigation systems
Revive and strengthen traditional knowledge in water harvesting and conservation if
possible.
If the runoffs of forest areas, mountains and other uninhabited terrain can be harvested,
the potential for rainwater harvesting is enormous.
Making available adequate no. of tanks/ponds in villages for recharging ground water
Village scale water harvesting must be put higher priority as running water gets lost in a
huge amount due to evaporation, inltration into soil etc.
A large no. of micro catchments (E.g. 0.1 hectare) provide larger amount of rainwater
harvested than a larger catchment though the land area remains the same.
Drought Measures
Strengthening of long range, medium range and short range forecasting of monsoon by
IMD at Meteorological Sub-Division, District and Taluka level.
Articial recharging of ground water, watershed programmes in privately owned
small/marginal farms, laying of pipes/channels for exclusive transportation of water to
dry areas.
Programme for reconstruction and preservation of traditional water harvesting
structures, construction of canals for transportation of water from surplus to non-
surplus areas, establishment of cost-effective drip /sprinkle irrigation practices etc.
Ensuring provision of medicines and critical health care in the risk prone areas during
drought for humans and animals.

Drought Proong:
Harvest rain, involve communities, move from 'drought management' to 'monsoon
management'
Building of dams and irrigation systems
Revive and strengthen traditional knowledge in water harvesting and conservation if
possible.
If the runoffs of forest areas, mountains and other uninhabited terrain can be harvested,
the potential for rainwater harvesting is enormous.
Making available adequate no. of tanks/ponds in villages for recharging ground water
Village scale water harvesting must be put higher priority as running water gets lost in a
huge amount due to evaporation, inltration into soil etc.
A large no. of micro catchments (E.g. 0.1 hectare) provide larger amount of rainwater
harvested than a larger catchment though the land area remains the same.
Drought Measures
Strengthening of long range, medium range and short range forecasting of monsoon by
IMD at Meteorological Sub-Division, District and Taluka level.
Articial recharging of ground water, watershed programmes in privately owned
small/marginal farms, laying of pipes/channels for exclusive transportation of water to
dry areas.
Programme for reconstruction and preservation of traditional water harvesting
structures, construction of canals for transportation of water from surplus to non-
surplus areas, establishment of cost-effective drip /sprinkle irrigation practices etc.
Ensuring provision of medicines and critical health care in the risk prone areas during
drought for humans and animals.

Earthquake
Earthquakes present unique problems as they upset the complete infrastructure necessary for
rescue and restoration of normalcy. For example, it could prevent emergency personnel from
reaching victims, it increases the risk of re and electrical shock, could result in complete
failure of the telephone and other communication systems, disruption of water supply for
reghting / other reasons, and increases the possibility of burst pipelines carrying petroleum
oils. It could, in addition, prevent ambulances from evacuating victims, re personnel from
reaching the re affected areas, result in major structural debris causing secondary damage and
most importantly, could affect the entire emergency organization that is geared up for handling
emergencies.
The main actions for earthquake incidents include preventive (pre-incident), during incident
and post incident actions. Each earthquake, depending upon its intensity (as measured on the
Richer/ modied Mercalli Scale) would have different extent of damage.
Some of the pre-actions that are important include:
Basic earthquake related training to staff (behavior during earthquake, how to
recognise, dos and don'ts)
As blackout is possible, a kit containing ashlights, portable radio, basic tools, should
be available for emergency.
Basic precautions such as sitting away from wall hanging items, bolting of almirahs to
the wall rather than loosely lying cupboards, pasting tape to the glasses to avoid
excessive shattering.
Application of science and technology and engineering inputs to improve building
design, construction and sitting
Conducting extensive public awareness programme and dissemination of information
about risks, preparedness and mitigation measures
Installing devices that will keep breakages in electrical lines and gas mains from
producing res
Actions immediately after tremors
Actions during an earthquake would depend upon the severity of the quake and the extent of
damage-however, the basic steps for safeguarding life safety (top most criterion) include:
Activation of the re orders, for res are likely in case of major earthquakes. Pipelines would
be expected to rupture as also storage tanks - this would result in a large-scale spillage and
possible res. The re ghting system is likely to be incapacitated. In addition, power supply
may be (most likely) cut off.
The main action would involve:
Stopping any pumping of oil from ship tankers say in NMPT, if in progress
Stopping oil pumping through the Mangalore-Bangalore pipeline from the main
control room.
Cutting off the power supply (if not cut off on its own already) to avoid electrical
shocks, res, etc.
Halting any road / rail tanker lling operations, if in progress.
Sending away road tankers to safe zones.
Any major oil spillage could also overow the dyke walls and spread around. Halting
or minimising this ow of oil may be attempted where practical and without
endangering human life.
Set up a call-receiving centre in addition to the DECR.
Flash the telephone number over the local cable TV as well as the Doordarshan
Channel.
Issue a warning over the Radio regarding the earthquake and the future possibility of
after shocks.
Rush rescue team to affected area to retrieve entrapped persons with the means
available.
Rush the injured to hospitals
Gets feedback from the Municipal Corporation regarding the affected areas and
Colonies.
Get a feedback from the District Education Ofcer on the conditions of the schools
Call all the doctors and put them on Standby alert.
Recall all the vehicle of the district and use them for reaching the various affected
areas.
Interact with the Red Cross organisation for mobilising the doctors in Dakshina
Kannada and neighbouring district like Udupi.
Contact the DG set operators and ask them to be on Standby for supplying the
generators.
Dispatch the Police units to the worst affected areas.
Request the Army to help in the relief operations.
Get the searchlight operators to supply the searchlights.
Tents and Plastic sheets suppliers should be contacted to keep the same ready.
Medical Outpost should be set up near the affected area with
The Triage area should be marked clearly so as to enable the ambulance staging
The re tender approach area as well as the other relief material vehicle area should
also be identied
All the approach roads to the major collapsed structures should be kept / made free.
Crack teams should be identied which have probe Cameras for locating the dead and
the injured in the rubble
Sniffer dogs should also be called from the neighbouring district to locate the injured
Concrete cutters should be brought for cutting through the concrete rubble to reach the
injured in the collapsed building

All the private clinics / hospitals should be asked to keep the beds empty so as to ensure
that the patients can be received for medical treatment.
For general public, important instructions should include:
Get under a heavy table or desk and hold on, or sit or stand against an inside wall if
inside the building and if unable to come out. If possible to come out without
difculty, assemble outside the building to avoid fatality due to structural collapse.
Keep away from windows as these may shatter/crack resulting in possible injury.
If outdoors, stay away from tall objects (lighting poles, pipe racks, structural roofs)
falling debris, trees and power lines.
Tanker Trucks drivers should drive to a clear spot and stay in the vehicle.
Post-earthquake actions
Post-earthquake actions are extremely important and these include:
Clean up of the debris and rescue of people who are alive
Making arrangement for the Morgue
Siting in the open area where the tents can be put up
Expect aftershocks. They are just as serious as the main earthquake.
Put on shoes to protect from broken glass, chappals are to be avoided at any cost.
Check for causalities and res (secondary res could be raging).
Use a ash light to inspect for damage.
Do not go into damaged areas unless specically trained to do so.
Do not use telephones except in emergencies.

Historically there have been no major forest res in the district except for few bush res in
the densely forested areas of Belthangady, Puttur and Sullia taluk's. Precautionary measures
are taken during summer months by appointment of temporary re watches in vulnerable
areas. All the roads through forests are maintained with a clearance of 4 metres on either side.
In an unlikely event of a forest re in Dakshina Kannada District, following broad guidelines is
to be followed:
On an intimation of forest re, an aerial survey should be carried out. Estimate burning / re spread and evacuate people dwelling in the vicinity. After aerial surveillance, identify the area for creating re breaks. Spread of re can
be controlled by cutting /eliminating vegetation and spreading with mud/sand. Cool the re break area with water. Take necessary assistance from home guard, army, and airforce depending upon the
intensity of the re.

Restricting Development in Landslide Prone Areas – Land use planning is one
of the most effective and economical ways to reduce landslide losses by avoiding
the hazard and minimising the risk. This is accomplished by removing or
converting existing development or discouraging or regulating new development
in unstable areas.
Excavation, Construction, and Grading Codes - Excavation, construction, and
grading codes should be developed for construction in landslide-prone areas
(National Building code).
Protecting Existing Development - Control of surface water and groundwater
drainage is the most widely used and generally the most successful slope-
stabilisation method. Stability of a slope can be increased by removing all or part of
a landslide mass, or by adding earth supports placed at the toes of potential slope
failures. Restraining walls, piles or rock anchors are commonly used to prevent or
control slope movement. In most cases, combinations of these measures are used.
Monitoring and Warning Systems - Monitoring and warning systems are utilised
to protect lives and property, not to prevent landslides. However, these systems
often provide warning of slope movement in time to allow the construction of
physical measures that will reduce the immediate or long-term hazard. Site-
specic monitoring techniques include eld observation and the use of various
ground motion instruments.
What should I do if I live in an
area at risk from landslides?
What should I do if a landslide
is occurring or likely to occur?
What should I do after a
landslide?
1. Landslides generally happen in areas where they have occurred in the past. Learn about your area's landslide risk. Landslides can also be referred to as mudslides, debris ows.2. Learn about local emergency response and evacuation plans.3 . Talk to everyone in your household about what to do if a landslide occurs.4. Create and practice an evacuation plan for your family.5. Assemble and maintain an emergency preparedness kit.6. Become familiar with the land around where you live and work so that you understand your risk in different situations.7. Watch the patterns of storm water drainage on slopes near your home, especially where runoff water converges.8. Debris ows and other landslides onto roadways are common during rainstorms.9. Heavily saturated ground is very susceptible to mudows and debris ows.
1. If you suspect imminent danger, evacuate immediately. Inform affected neighbors if you can, and contact your public works, re or police department.2. Listen for unusual sounds that might indicate moving debris, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together.3. If you are near a stream or channel, be alert for any sudden increase or decrease in water ow and notice whether the water changes from clear to muddy. Such changes may mean there is debris ow activity upstream so be prepared to move quickly.4. Be especially alert when driving watch for collapsed pavement, mud, fallen rocks and other indications of possible debris ow.5. If you are ordered or decide to evacuate, take your animals with you.6. Consider a precautionary evacuation of large or numerous animals as soon as you are aware of impending danger.
1. Stay away from the slide area until local ofcials say it is safe to enter.2. Listen to local stations on a portable, battery-powered radio f o r t h e l a t e s t e m e r g e n c y information.3. Watch for ooding—oods sometimes follow landslides and debris ows.4. Check for injured and trapped persons and animals near the slide, without entering the slide area.5. Help people who require special assistance.6. Look for and report broken util i ty l ines to appropriate authorities.7. Check your home's foundation, chimney and surrounding land for damage.8. Replant damaged ground as soon as possible because erosion caused by loss of ground cover can lead to ash ooding.
Structural Mitigation Measures
Catchment area treatment/ afforestation, building up of check dams/detention basins in
order to reduce the ood peaks and control the suddenness of the runoff.
Stabilization of slopes in landslides prone areas.
Construction of retaining walls and other structures to bring greater stability to
dangerous slopes.
Construction walls of piles in slope areas to prevent landslides.
Tsunami:
Tsunamis, also known as seismic sea waves are a series of enormous waves created by an
underwater disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic erup on, or meteorite.
Earthquake-induced movement of the ocean oor most often generates tsunamis. If a major
earthquake or landslide occurs close to shore, the rst wave in a series could reach the beach in
a few minutes, even before a warning is issued. Areas are at greater risk if they are less than 25
feet above sea level and within a mile of the shoreline. Drowning is the most common cause of
death associated with a tsunami. Tsunami waves and the receding water are very destructive to
structures in the run-up zone. Other hazards include flooding, contamination of drinking water,
and fires from gas lines or ruptured tanks.
Before Tsunami
Knowing your community's warning systems and disaster plans, including evacuation
routes.
If an earthquake occurs and you are in a coastal area, turn on your radio to learn if there
is a tsunami warning.
Create and practice an evacuation plan for your Community. Familiarity may save
your life. Be able to follow your escape route at night and during inclement weather.
Practicing your plan makes the appropriate response more of a reaction, requiring less
thinking during an actual emergency.
During Tsunami:
Follow the evacuation order issued by District authorities and evacuate immediately.
Take your animals with you.
Bulletins received from INCOIS and SEOC to be disseminated further to line
departments, police, re and emergency, local media and community leaders.
Deputy Commissioner to direct Fire and Emergency personnel, Police, Civil Defense
and local army/navy/Indian Coast Guard unit to evacuate and rescue people in case of
potential threat. Assistance of Local NGO‟s trained in rescue operation will also be
sought.

Move to high ground or inland and away from water immediately.
DHO along with paramedical staff to set up medical aid post at disaster site and safe
shelter. Triaging of the victims to be done at the disaster site. Improvised stretches to be
used to carry severely wounded/critical victims in case there is shortfall of stretchers.
Ambulances to be immediately summoned to the site.
DDMA to ensure strict compliance with minimum standards of relief as prescribed in
Section 12 of DM act 2005
Stay away from the beach. Never go down to the beach to watch a tsunami come in.
If you can see the wave you are too close to escape it. CAUTION - If there is
noticeable recession in water away from the shoreline this is nature's tsunami
warning and it should be heeded. You should move away immediately.
Line departments are to be alerted.
Save yourself - not your possessions.
Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance - infants, elderly
people, and individuals with access or functional needs.
After Tsunami:
Return home only after local ofcials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves
that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over. The
next wave may be larger than the rst one.
Go to a designated public shelter if you have been told to evacuate or you feel it is
unsafe to remain in your home.
Stay away from debris in the water; it may pose a safety hazard to people or pets.
Check yourself for injuries and get rst aid as needed before helping injured or trapped
persons.
If someone needs to be rescued, call professionals with the right equipment to help.
Many people have been killed or injured trying to rescue others.
Help people who require special assistance—infants, elderly people, those without
transportation, people with access and functional needs and large families who may
need additional help in an emergency situation.
Stay out of any building that has water around it. Tsunami water can cause oors to
crack or walls to collapse.
Use caution when re-entering buildings or homes. Tsunami-driven oodwater may
have damaged buildings where you least expect it. Carefully watch every step you

Lightening:
Lightening is a natural phenomenon of the district. Every year people as well as cattle die due
to the lighting. Therefore the proper measure needs to be taken to reduce the death toll.
Few Tips to survive lightning:
If you are in a building it is advisable to stay inside. Stay away from windows, doors,
replaces, stoves, metal pipes, sinks and other electrical charge conductors. Unplug TVs, radios and other electrical appliances. Don't use the phone or other electrical equipment. If you are outside, seek shelter in a building, cave or depressed area. Lightning typically
strikes the tallest item in an area. If you're caught in the open, bend down with your feet close together and your head
down. Don't lie at - by minimizing your contact with the ground you reduce the risk of
being electrocuted by a ground charge. Get off bicycles, motorcycles, and tractors. If you are in a car, stop the car and stay in it. Don't stop near trees or power lines that
could fall.

Move to high ground or inland and away from water immediately.
DHO along with paramedical staff to set up medical aid post at disaster site and safe
shelter. Triaging of the victims to be done at the disaster site. Improvised stretches to be
used to carry severely wounded/critical victims in case there is shortfall of stretchers.
Ambulances to be immediately summoned to the site.
DDMA to ensure strict compliance with minimum standards of relief as prescribed in
Section 12 of DM act 2005
Stay away from the beach. Never go down to the beach to watch a tsunami come in.
If you can see the wave you are too close to escape it. CAUTION - If there is
noticeable recession in water away from the shoreline this is nature's tsunami
warning and it should be heeded. You should move away immediately.
Line departments are to be alerted.
Save yourself - not your possessions.
Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance - infants, elderly
people, and individuals with access or functional needs.
After Tsunami:
Return home only after local ofcials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves
that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over. The
next wave may be larger than the rst one.
Go to a designated public shelter if you have been told to evacuate or you feel it is
unsafe to remain in your home.
Stay away from debris in the water; it may pose a safety hazard to people or pets.
Check yourself for injuries and get rst aid as needed before helping injured or trapped
persons.
If someone needs to be rescued, call professionals with the right equipment to help.
Many people have been killed or injured trying to rescue others.
Help people who require special assistance—infants, elderly people, those without
transportation, people with access and functional needs and large families who may
need additional help in an emergency situation.
Stay out of any building that has water around it. Tsunami water can cause oors to
crack or walls to collapse.
Use caution when re-entering buildings or homes. Tsunami-driven oodwater may
have damaged buildings where you least expect it. Carefully watch every step you
take.
To avoid injury, wear protective clothing and be cautious when cleaning up.

If caught on high ground or in an open area, seek shelter in a low area and stay away
from trees.
If you are swimming, get out of the water immediately, and move away from the body
of water. Being near water is extremely dangerous during a lightning storm.
If you are caught in a lightning storm with a group of people, maintain a distance of at
least 50-100 feet between each person.
While inside, keep windows closed, and try to stay within inner rooms of the structure
In a car, try to avoid touching any part of the metal frame or the car's glass.
Stay inside at least 30 minutes after the last strike. Don't go out if the rain starts letting

Sea Erosion
Mitigation Measures:
Hard structural/engineering options: Hard structural/engineering
options use structures constructed on the beach (seawalls, groynes,
breakwaters/articial headlands) or further offshore (offshore breakwaters).
These options inuence coastal processes to stop or reduce the rate of
coastal erosion.
Offshore breakwater: An offshore breakwater is a structure that parallels
the shore (in the near shore zone) and serves as a wave absorber. It reduces wave
energy in its lee and creates a salient or tombolo behind the structure that
inuences long shore transport of sediment.
Beach nourishment: The aim of beach nourishment is to create a wider
beach by articially increasing the quantity of sediment on a beach
experiencing sediment loss, improving the amenity and recreational value of
the coast and replicating the way that natural beaches dissipate wave energy.
Articial headland: This structure is constructed to promote natural
beaches because it acts as an articial headland. It is relatively easy to
construct and little maintenance is required.
Seawall: A seawall is a structure constructed parallel to the coastline that
shelters the shore from wave action. This structure has many different
designs; it can be used to protect a cliff from wave attack and improve slope
stability and it can also dissipate wave energy on sandy coasts.
Groyne: A coastal structure constructed perpendicular to the coastline
from the shore into the sea to trap longshore sediment transport or control
longshore currents. This type of structure is easy to construct from a variety
of materials such as wood, rock or bamboo and is normally used on sandy
coasts.
Coastal revegetation: Based on studies and scientic results, the presence
of vegetation in coastal areas improves slope stability, consolidates sediment
and reduces wave energy moving onshore; therefore, it protects the shoreline
from erosion. However, its site-specicity means that it may be successful in
estuarine conditions (low energy environment), but not on the open coast
(high energy environment).

Measures to be taken –Chemical/Industrial Disaster
In Dakshina Kannada District most of MAH units are concentrated around the New Mangalore
Port at Panambur. Following are the emergency response plan for various type of industrial
disasters as identied in.
Prepare for a Chemical Emergency
Avoid mixing chemicals, even common household products. Some combinations, such
as ammonia and bleach, can create toxic gases.
Always read and follow the directions when using a new product. Some products
should not be used in small, conned spaces to avoid inhaling dangerous vapors. Other
products should not be used without gloves and eye protection to help prevent the
chemical from touching your body.
Store chemical products properly. Non-food products should be stored tightly closed in
their original containers so you can always identify the contents of each container and
how to properly use the product. Better yet – don't store chemicals at home. Buy only as
much of a chemical as you think you will use. If you have product left over, try to give it to
someone who will use it. Or see below for tips on proper disposal.
Beware of re. Never smoke while using household chemicals. Don't use hair spray,
cleaning solutions, paint products, or pesticides near the open ame of an appliance, pilot
light, lighted candle, replace, wood burning stove, etc. Although you may not be able to
see or smell them, vapor particles in the air could catch re or explode.
Clean up any spills immediately with some rags, being careful to protect your eyes and
skin. Allow the fumes in the rags to evaporate outdoors in a safe place, then wrap them in a
newspaper and place the bundle in a sealed plastic bag. Dispose of these materials with
your trash. If you don't already have one, buy a re extinguisher that is labeled for A, B,
and C class res and keep it handy.
Dispose of unused chemicals properly. Improper disposal can result in harm to yourself
or members of your family, accidentally contaminate our local water supply, or harm
other people or wildlife.
Many household chemicals can be taken to your local household hazardous waste
collection facility. Many facilities accept pesticides, fertilizers, household cleaners, oil-
based paints, drain and pool cleaners, antifreeze, and brake uid. Some products can be
recycled, which is better for our environment. If you have questions about how to dispose
of a chemical, call the facility or the environmental or recycling agency to learn the proper
method of disposal.
Toxic Release
The emergency procedures address to large-scale release of toxic chemical like ammonia
having widespread impact.
Assess the situation in consultation with industries handling toxic chemicals
like Ammonia, Benzene, H S. Depending on the situation, determine the action to 2
be taken.
Inform general public with the help of police, Radio broadcast or TV channel about
required precaution to be taken.
In case of ammonia leakage, instruct general public to cover their nose with wet
cloth and move towards safe location notied (crosswind direction).
Ask them to evacuate or remain indoors as per the situation.
Instruct the villagers to free all the live-stocks to enable them escape. They will
move out to safe place by their natural instinct.
If evacuation is required, determine the area to be evacuated in downwind direction
to designated Safe Assembly points.
Fire / Explosion
Leakage of LPG from storages or tankers and subsequent re / explosion can cause widespread
damage. Emergency response action for tackling LPG leaks is given below.
Leaks from LPG storages, tankers, LPG pump glands, pipes anges or pipeline
ruptures or from vent emissions due to cargo tank over-pressure or relief valve
failure will initiate a vapour cloud. Therefore, in case of release of large quantity of
ammable vapour, immediate effort should be directed to eliminate source of
ignition. In such event, eliminate all sources of ignition i.e. open ames, welding,
cutting, operation etc.
If possible, isolate the vessel involved in the incident.
Direct or disperse the vapour cloud away from such sources by means of xed
and/or mobile water sprays or by water fog arrangement.�
If ignition does occur, there are chances of ash back to the source of leak. Leaks
from pipelines are likely to be under pressure and these, if ignited, will give rise to a
jet ame.
In such a case it may be safer to allow the re to burn out while protecting
surroundings by copious cooling water rather than to extinguish the re and risk a
further vapour cloud which may result in explosion or ash back on encountering
ignition source again.
Spillage of POL products in the industry will generally be contained in dyke resulting in
conned pool. Leakages from road/rail tankers will result into unconned pool. Emergency
response actions for tackling such leaks are given below.

A liquid spillage on land from tank or pipeline ruptures may be in large quantities
and will generally be contained in bunded areas or culverts. The ignition of the
ensuing vapour cloud would then result in a pool re.
If possible, isolate the vessel involved in the incident.
Fire ghting operation should be carried from upwind direction.
The hydrocarbon liquids like POL burn with a production of soot. Hence re
ghting operation should be carried out using respiratory personal protective
equipment and / or re proximity suits.
Cool surrounding area exposed to heat radiation or ame impingement, with water
in order to prevent secondary re. It is suggested that re ghters should maintain 2
safe distances from re (4 kW/m distances given in chapter 3).
The bunds or dykes are provided around the storage tanks storing ammable
materials to limit the size of any pool res. The storage tanks containing Class 'A'
products are normally provided high expansion foam pouring arrangement to
control the rate of burning. This is to be activated in the event of a re.
If there is no re, arrangement should be made to pump out / transfer spilled material
to safer place e.g. into another tank or tankers.

Oil Spill
Large quantity of petroleum products and other hazardous chemicals are handled in the
district. Any spillage of these materials will result into large pool of chemical on land and water
bodies. This section addresses contingency plan for dealing with such potential large-scale oil
spills.
Establish type of oil spilled so that its fate can be predicted and the appropriate clean-up
techniques employed. Data on the types of oil handled can enable predictions to be made
regarding the lifetime of slicks and the quantity and nature of the residue, which may
require a clean-up response. It will also assist in the selection of appropriate clean-up
equipment to be held in readiness for spills.
Having determined priorities for protection, attention can be given to designating
appropriate clean-up measures. Assess employing various techniques for containing and
cleaning of oil spills.
The containment of oating oil for subsequent recovery or its diversion away from
sensitive areas is most important task to reduce the impact. This calls for the use of some
form of barrier for spill containment. Many different types of oil barriers like commercially
available oating booms, netting systems, sorbent booms, improvised booms and barriers,
bubble barriers and chemical barriers can be utilised. Commercially available oating
booms are the most common form of barrier used in oil spill control.
Floating booms can be made out of wood, bamboo, oil drums, hoses and rubber tyres,
and sorbent booms constructed from shing nets or wire mesh lled with straw, coconut
husks or other indigenous materials.
In shallow waters, stakes may be driven into the bottom to support screens or mats
made from sacking, reeds, straw bales, bamboo or other such material.
On long sandy beaches bulldozers can be used to construct sand bunds out into shallow
water to intercept oil moving along the shoreline. A similar approach can sometimes be
used to block off narrow estuaries or lagoons to prevent the ingress of oil although the
ecological consequences of such temporary measures should be considered carefully.
The rapid recovery of contained oil is vital to prevent its escape and the contamination
of other areas. Recovery can be achieved using skimmers, pumps, sorbents, manual
techniques and non-specialised mechanical equipment, such as vacuum trucks.

Pipeline Failure
Dakshina Kannada District has many pipelines for carrying various hazardous chemicals likes
like LPG, Naphtha, POL products, Ammonia etc. The details about these pipelines have been
identied in a table in Chapter 2. Most of the pipelines are laid underground in public domain
and are protected against corrosion by cathodic protection system. The failures of the pipelines
are possible if there is abnormal activity like sabotage or attempt to pilferage.
Any emergency involving pipeline results in an off-site emergency. It should be ensured by the
district administration that the following actions are taken during any emergency involving a
cross-country pipeline.
First information is normally from the witness who informs the owner of the
pipeline regarding the leakage. It is therefore essential to educate the general
public regarding the routing of the pipeline and nature of chemicals that are being
transported.
There are number of pipelines running parallel to each other from NMPT to
MRPL. It is therefore essential to keep the contact numbers of all the pipeline
owners at key locations in each village like Panchayat ofces, schools etc along the
lines. This is in addition to the warning sign posts provided along the pipeline.
It should be ensured that there are continuous monitoring / communication
between both ends whenever there is transfer operation in progress. On detection
of any abnormality, the pumping operation should be stopped immediately and
valves on both sides should be closed immediately. In case of LPG pipeline, efforts
may be made to depressurise the line safely before isolating the line.
Next step would be identication of point of leak. If the information is received
from the witness to the leak, then the point of leak could be easily located.
Otherwise a line- walk may be required to locate the point of leak.
The area around the leak should be barricaded and the curious onlookers should be
kept at a distance.
Efforts should be made to contain the spillage by providing temporary bunds. This
would ensure prevention of chemicals entering into water bodies like rivers or
nalas.
The people living in downwind area around the leak should be evacuated and all
sources of ignition should be put off.
Efforts should be made to cover the hazardous chemicals using suitable foam to
prevent formation of ammable vapour cloud which could travel to long distance
and explode on getting a source of ignition in the down wind direction.
In case of a leak on the proposed Mangalore - Bangalore POL pipeline the SCADA
system will indicate the leak, then the pumping should be stopped and all valves
closed.

may be made to depressurise the line safely before isolating the line.
Next step would be identication of point of leak. If the information is received
from the witness to the leak, then the point of leak could be easily located.
Otherwise a line- walk may be required to locate the point of leak.
The area around the leak should be barricaded and the curious onlookers should be
kept at a distance.
Efforts should be made to contain the spillage by providing temporary bunds. This
would ensure prevention of chemicals entering into water bodies like rivers or
nalas.
The people living in downwind area around the leak should be evacuated and all
sources of ignition should be put off.
Efforts should be made to cover the hazardous chemicals using suitable foam to
prevent formation of ammable vapour cloud which could travel to long distance
and explode on getting a source of ignition in the down wind direction.
In case of a leak on the proposed Mangalore - Bangalore POL pipeline the SCADA
system will indicate the leak, then the pumping should be stopped and all valves
closed.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURE -
MISCELLANEOUS DISASTERS
Building Collapse
Rescue guidelines for building collapse are as under:
As one might expect, immediately after a collapse, the debris of the building is very
unstable and prone to additional movement. Rescuers must assess the nature of the
scene and the pattern of the collapse before entering onto a pile of rubble to ensure
their own safety and that of those potentially buried in it. Shoring may be necessary
to prevent movement, before attempting rescues.
Gather as much information as is possible at the onset of the incident. ".
Concentrate preliminary efforts on areas where people were last seen or known to
be. It is suggested that a "Command" person be designated to interview those that
may have escaped the collapse, were eyewitnesses, or were in the building and
rescued early in the effort. Obtain a list of the people normally in the building, if one
is available.
After ensuring rescuer safety and minimal movement of the debris, send small
organised teams to the top of the pile and systematically search the surface in
specic grids. Use barricade tape and markers to visually demonstrate the areas that
have been searched and those that could potentially contain victims. Concentrate
efforts on those areas that are believed to be the last known locations of people,
when the collapse occurred.
Activate District Disaster Management Plan to have full-edged rescue operation.
This type of rescue is very manpower intensive and may require large numbers of
extrication and medical personnel. The rescue operation may call for specialised
equipment like cranes / earth moving equipment and gas cutting and concrete
cutting equipment. The Rescue Vehicle available at Pandeshwar Fire Station in
Mangalore comprises of some of these critical equipment.
During rescue operations, sound detection devices can be used to "listen" for
movement or sounds deep within the debris. Call for "Search Dogs" and handlers
from nearest available source.
Once it is conrmed there is nobody trapped below is alive, continue to remove
debris carefully and vertically, searching each "void" or entrance to a "void" as it
becomes available to the rescuer. People have continually and historically been
found alive many hours and days into the rescue. Have command, media relations,
and logistics ofcers plan for a multiple day operation when people are still
suspected of being missing and their bodies have not been recovered.
Help from external agencies like Army or other professional bodies should be
mobilised at shortest possible notice to ensure saving of human life.
Great care must be taken when a person is located, either dead or alive, to ensure
that additional collapse doesn't occur in the area of their entrapment. Rescuers
should use their hands and small tools to remove the remaining debris surrounding
a person. The victim's condition may dictate the speed with which rescue efforts
progress. Consideration should be given to early application of Military Anti-
Shock Trousers for viable persons that have "crushing" injuries.
Be prepared for the emotional and psychological implications of the incident.
Prepare early for Critical Incident Stress debrieng sessions for rescuers, victims
and families. It is strongly suggested that mental health professionals and crisis
intervention be made available to the families of those believed trapped, at the
earliest opportunity. The stress of protracted digging, discovery of disgured
remains, odd smells and sights can affect even the most hardened of rescue
professionals. Supervisory personnel may want to set aside a special place for
families and psychological care near to, but, off of the rescue site. To do otherwise
will invite charges of insensitively, and probably prompt the families to attempt to
enter or stay in the rescue area.
Relief for both supervisory and eld rescue personnel must be forthcoming. Even
though most rescuers will insist in continuing their efforts for many hours, they lose
a large part of their effectiveness after 18-24 hours or less. Ensure that all rescuers
eat and rest at frequent intervals, as circumstances permit. Prepare to (and do) call
in off-duty or mutual aid personnel as they are needed. Stage all extraneous units in
a planned way and avoid having more personnel on-site than can effectively work
at one time.
Anticipate the need for additional resources that you haven't thought of prior to this
event. Be prepared to obtain architectural drawings of the building(s) affected.
How about gas lines, water pipes, or electrical services that are disrupted? You may
want an aerial perspective of the scene...do you know where and how to get
overhead photos of the collapse? How are you going to feed "hundreds" of
construction workers, rescue workers, families, and others, who may be there for
days? Who's going to pay for what? Ensure that you have planning and logistics
ofcers who can anticipate these needs and full them within a moment's notice.
Often... the difference between what is perceived as a completely successful rescue
and a "disorganised" one is the quality of your planning and the careful execution of
your contingency plans.
Particularly in multi-story buildings, be prepared for the possibility and likelihood
of underground or cave- type rescue procedures. This type of specialised rescues
requires those experienced with climbing (ascending and descending) manoeuvres

and the use of technical rappelling methods. Each rescue team (minimum of two
rescuers) going "underground" should have a safety rope attached and be in
constant communications by radio with the surface. They should also possess a
minimum of three viable light sources. Hose rollers and other types of "rope slip
devices" must be used, as to avoid the sharp edges of concrete that will abrade
normal rescue ropes.
Stampede
In case of a stampede may people especially the children and aged get trampled
and may get badly injured which may even result in death if rst-aid / medical attention
is not provided immediately. Like in any emergency planning, the affected persons
should be given immediate medical attention. Various precautionary measures should
be taken to prevent any stampede wherever there is assembly of large crowd.
Following are various such measures for the consideration of the district administration.
Identify and list the events wherein a large group of people gathers at one place.
Survey the gathering site for connement I.e. inside temple, auditorium, building,
structure etc.
Study the layout and identify stampede prone pockets i.e. staircases, entry / exit
point, narrow lobby etc.
Estimate size of population going to gather. If the site area is not adequate to
control an expected number of people, do not allow them to gather at rst place.
This can be achieved by informing people well in advance, staggering the visitors
by issuing passes / identity cards.
Study the layout and maintain adequate space between two clusters of people.
Build temporary watchtowers for monitoring.
Ascertain adequate ventilation in the area.
Ascertain uninterrupted power supply in the area. Make arrangement for standby
power supply. As far as possible allow event to be conducted in day time.
Inform people by Public address System and Close circuit TV to avoid any
misunderstanding, rumour, panic situation.
Post adequate staff to control mob.
Segregation of male and female / children in the mob.
Adequate arrangement for drinking water, food etc. As far as possible provide
such facilities on mobile van, trolley instead of xed counter/ stall.
Boat capsize
In the event of boat cap size, following action plan is to be activated.
On receipt of information on boat capsize incident, inform coast guard, or NMPT to
mobilise their teams to carry out search operation. If required, necessary help may
be taken from NAVY for aerial search.
Identify the spot of accident and direct rescue team there. This operation may require
under water cameras for locating drowned people.
Rescue team of coast guard / NAVY should consist of divers, swimmers, and should
have rescue equipment I.e. life buoy, divers' kit, medical rst aid kit.
Besides this, the rescue boat should be equipped with communication equipment.
Doctor /rst-aiders should provide rst aid to victims.
Epidemic
The District Health Ofcer is the overall in charge of prevention and control of
outbreak of any epidemic in the district in addition to his normal duties. District Malaria
Ofcer, District TB Ofcer (with additional charge of AIDS prevention and control) assists
him in the above task.
Malaria, Filaria, Laptophyrosis, Dengi fever are the common diseases in the district
which could assume epidemic levels if not controlled in time. However outbreak of Cholera
and other water borne diseases can not be ruled out especially in the aftermath of a major ood
in the district.
On detection of outbreak of any epidemic in the district, the administration should
investigate the root cause of the epidemic and initiate the action to mitigate the same as follows:
The people affected should be immediately shifted to hospitals for medical
attention and kept isolated to prevent spread of disease.
Additional medical help/ medicines may be mobilised from neighbouring districts.
Vaccination should be given to all unaffected persons and the general public should
be educated about the precautionary steps to be taken against the prevailing
epidemic.
Steps should be taken to decontaminate the source of epidemic like water bodies
(lake, wells etc.).
There should be proper temporary morgue arrangement for safe preservation and
disposal of corpses of persons died of epidemic.
Clean up drive should be taken in the affected area as lth is the major source of
contamination.

Depending on prevailing situations, the administration should take action to close
all the road side eateries/ food stalls and advise them to destroy all stale food. Strict
control should be exercised on the licensed restaurants.
Decision may be taken to close down all schools, colleges and other places of mass
congregation like cinema halls etc.
Cattle Disease
Cattle epidemic like foot and mouth disease is highly contagious and may affect large
cattle population. Hence effective emergency planning is required to control such an event.
On getting intimation, send a team of veterinary doctors and experts to the affected
area for investigation and assessment of the situation.
Stop sale of milk and meat from all outlets. Instruct people to dispose off unused
stock of milk & meat at home.
On investigation by the expert team, following may be considered:
Quarantining of the affected animals.
Making arrangement for treating the affected animals.
Vaccinating them, if applicable to the disease.
Implementation of virus spread control program.
Elimination of affected livestock.
Disposal of carcasses.
Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is a probable phenomenon in religious or social functions where there
is mass feeding of people by setting up of temporary or make shift community kitchens. This
problem is mainly due to use of sub-standard materials and the unhygienic conditions in which
the food is prepared.
On receipt of the information of the food poisoning in the district, the district
administration should take following actions to instil condence in the people
Rush the food inspectors to the place of food poisoning for collection of sample and
sealing of the kitchen.
Identify the source of food poisoning and destroy the remaining stock of the
contaminated food.
Rush the affected persons to nearest hospitals for rst aid / medical treatment.
Additional medical / Para-medical personnel and additional stock of essential
medicines may be mobilised from various hospitals to meet the increased demand.
Proper information should be passed on to general public using various means of
communication to prevent spread of rumours, which may result in panic situation.
Take preventive measures to avoid re-occurrence of such food poisoning in future.
There should be proper control over quality control (by way of sampling / analysis
or by tasting) of food samples before they are fed to masses.
Bomb Emergency Management
To-day industrial installations, sensitive sites, public gatherings are becoming targets
of the terrorist groups. Therefore the possibility of receiving bomb threats cannot be ruled out.
The golden rule is consider all bomb threats as genuine and act accordingly keeping in mind the
safety of the people and the property.
The objective is:
a. To avoid/minimise any loss or damage to lives and property.
b. To eliminate panic and build up condence.
c. To be prepared for proper handling of any critical situation.
Many of to-day's bombing incidents involve improvised explosive devices or home-
made bombs.
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
a.� Bomb threats may be received in writing or may be received on phone.
b.� Keep the caller on the line as long as possible. Request him to repeat the
message, listen carefully as every word spoken by the person has to be recorded
mentally or penned down.
c.� If the caller does not indicate the location of the bomb or the time of possible
detonation, it is advisable to try to ask him for this information.
d.� Inform the caller that the building is occupied and the detonation of a bomb
would result in death or serious injury to many innocent persons.
e.� Pay particular attention to peculiar background noises such as motors running,
background music, trafc, aircraft, voices and any other noise which may give
a clue as to from where the call is being made.

5.4 Community and local level preparedness
The plan recognizes the fact that in the event of disaster communities are the rst responders
and hence there is no better alternative to community and local level capacities for disaster
response. In order to enhance communities' capacity to take action to help themselves in the
absence of necessary outside response for days the plan envisages creating necessary
awareness about hazards, risks and response. Areas which would be specically addressed for
community preparedness are-
Evacuation
Medical rst aid
Light search and rescue
Search and rescue extrication from damaged buildings
Debris clearance
Support re ghting
Plan also envisages equipping community at Panchayat level by ensuring the provision of
medical supply, communication such as radio, TVs, extrication equipment. Panchayat will be
encouraged to establish local early warning systems in higher vulnerable areas and for holding
community level disaster response drills. Development of response capacity at Panchayat
level for rst response would help in avoiding desperate situation. Creation of Sub-division
level stock pile for relief and warehouses would be ensured.
5.5 NGO Participation
Sections 35 and 38 of the Disaster Management Act inter alia specically emphasis the
coordination of actions with NGOs. The National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM)
also states the national vision for community mobilization and participation in DM and aims to
provide momentum and sustenance through the collective efforts of all government agencies
and NGOs. There is emphasis on community based disaster management, including last mile
integration of the policy, plans and execution and early warning dissemination. Promoting a
productive partnership with NGOs is a prominent thrust area in the NPDM. There is a large
scope for improving the engagement of NGOs in DM and on efciently utilizing their unique
advantages and core competencies by strengthening humanitarian coalitions, alliances and
NGO networks. There is also need to strengthen public awareness, capacity building and
knowledge management through CBOs and NGOs. Institutional mechanisms for the advocacy
and engagement of NGOs with government agencies on DM concerns require to be
strengthened. Replication and scaling up of community level good practices has to be
promoted.
5.6 Community Based Disaster Preparedness
Communities are not only the rst to be affected in disasters but also the rst responders.
Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes
volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. The community participation
for DM would be promoted on the motto of “self-help”, “help thy neighbor” and “help thy
community”. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require
special attention. Women and youth will be encouraged to participate in decision making
committees and action groups for management of disasters. Networking of youth and women
based organization would be done and they will be trained in the various aspects of response
such as rst aid, search and rescue, management of community shelters, psycho-social
counseling, distribution of relief and accessing support from government/agencies etc.
Community plans will be dovetailed into the Panchayat, Block and District plans.
Preparedness to face disasters is required at all levels right from the Household to the state
Government to minimize the impact of Disasters. The district administration cannot provide
relief and commences rescue operation immediately at the time of disaster. Therefore the rst
responder of any disaster can develop some traditional coping mechanisms by the local
community which reduce their vulnerabilities. The involvement of the community is the key
factor in any disaster preparedness. The participation of the community is vital to sustain the
activities of rebuilding the shattered community life.
Community Based Disaster Preparedness is:
A response mechanism to save life, livelihood, livestock and assets with available
resources within the community.
Leads to multi pronged development interventions to address the root cause of
vulnerability.
Leads to a self-reliant disaster proof community.
In order to generate the preparedness and response within the people, District Disaster
Management Authority, Dakshina Kannada has to take imitative for community based disaster
preparedness and develop ownership for sustainability of the process effort is to be made to
ensure maximum participation of all sections of the community irrespective of class, caste, sex
and occupation.
Media Partnership
The media plays a critical role in information and knowledge dissemination in all phases of
DM. The versatile potential of both electronic and print media needs to be fully utilized.
Effective partnership with the media will be worked out in the eld of community awareness,
early warning and dissemination, and education regarding various disasters. The use of

such as rst aid, search and rescue, management of community shelters, psycho-social
counseling, distribution of relief and accessing support from government/agencies etc.
Community plans will be dovetailed into the Panchayat, Block and District plans.
Preparedness to face disasters is required at all levels right from the Household to the state
Government to minimize the impact of Disasters. The district administration cannot provide
relief and commences rescue operation immediately at the time of disaster. Therefore the rst
responder of any disaster can develop some traditional coping mechanisms by the local
community which reduce their vulnerabilities. The involvement of the community is the key
factor in any disaster preparedness. The participation of the community is vital to sustain the
activities of rebuilding the shattered community life.
Community Based Disaster Preparedness is:
A response mechanism to save life, livelihood, livestock and assets with available
resources within the community.
Leads to multi pronged development interventions to address the root cause of
vulnerability.
Leads to a self-reliant disaster proof community.
In order to generate the preparedness and response within the people, District Disaster
Management Authority, Dakshina Kannada has to take imitative for community based disaster
preparedness and develop ownership for sustainability of the process effort is to be made to
ensure maximum participation of all sections of the community irrespective of class, caste, sex
and occupation.
Media Partnership
The media plays a critical role in information and knowledge dissemination in all phases of
DM. The versatile potential of both electronic and print media needs to be fully utilized.
Effective partnership with the media will be worked out in the eld of community awareness,
early warning and dissemination, and education regarding various disasters. The use of
143 144
District Disaster Management Plan for Dakshina Kannada District 2019-20 District Disaster Management Plan for Dakshina Kannada District 2019-20
vernacular media would be harnessed for community education, awareness and preparedness
at the local level. The District information ofcer in consultation with the DDMA would take
appropriate steps in this direction.
Indian Disaster Resource Network
IDRN is a nation-wide electronic inventory of resources that enlists equipment and human
resources, collated from districts, states and national level line departments and agencies. It is a
web based platform, for managing the inventory of equipment, skilled human resources and
critical supplies for emergency response. Primary focus of IDRN portal is to enable the
decision makers to nd answers on availability of equipment and human resources required to
combat any emergency situation. This database will also enable them to assess the level of
preparedness for specic disasters. All resource related information pertaining to Dakshina
Kannada district is uploaded on the website.
Mechanisms for checking and certication of logistics, equipments and stores
Operational readiness of the equipment required for disaster is very critical. Each department
will constitute a committee for the following purpose:
1. Identify the equipment to be used during disaster response
2. Carry out verication and certication of worthiness at least once on a year
3. The committee could also make recommendation for repair, replacement or for additional
procurement of equipment
4. DDMA will review these reports annually and establish need for additional resources
Operational check-up of Warning Systems
Working with departments identied for early warning generation and dissemination, the
DDMA will establish a mechanism for checking operational readiness of the early warning
equipement and dissemination system. The early warning generation and dissemination will
be tested at least once in a year through mock drill. Table top excercises will be carried out to
keep latest contact information of agencies and department which play roles in providing and
receiving early warning.
Protocol and arrangements for VIP visits
During the disaster VIP's visit affected areas to take rsthand account of situation and to
oversee relief operations. It has been seen that the Ministers, members of Parliament and State
legislatures, local councilors, leaders of various political parties, etc. visit the scene of a
disaster to mark public concern. While organizing VIP visit the following consideration needs
to be taken in to account:
1. It should not interrupt or affected rescue, relief, and life saving work
2. Appropriate time for visit need to be nalized based on the ground situation
3. Local police, Revenue ofcials, Military, Health Department, Media and other relevant
holders should coordinate appropriately
4. DDMA should prepare latest situation update and greater details about the location of visit
5. Minute to minute programme should be prepared
6. Appropriate protocls need to followed depending on the VIP who is visiting
7. Adequate security and trafc management plan should be prepared

CAPACITY BUILDING
AND TRAINING MEASURES
6.1. Introduction
As per the Disaster Management Act (2005), capacity-building includes:
1. Identication of existing resources and resources to be acquired or created;
2. Acquiring or creating resources identied under sub-clause
3. Organization and training of personnel and coordination of such trainings for effective
management of disasters.
The primary purpose of capacity-building in disaster management is to reduce risk and thus
make communities safer. This can be done by increasing resilience and enhancing coping
capacities. Effective capacity-building at the district level requires the active participation of
all those who are tasked with it. It must, therefore, include maintaining a comprehensive and
up-to-date District Disaster Management Resource Inventory, awareness generation,
education,) and systematic and systematized training. The Deputy Commissioner should
ensure the following capacity-building activities of the entire district, and the various Heads of
Departments should ensure capacity-building of their respective departments. DDMA will
work towards capacity building of the district to disasters by doing the following activities:
Awareness generation and sensitization of public by trainings, mock drills, print
media, mass media and street plays.
Organizing mock drills at regular intervals in schools and government buildings.
Organizing marathons, slogan writing, painting etc. in different sub division so as to
ensure participation of people from different spheres.

Ensuring that all line departments have an active DM plan and DM task forces.
Updating resource list of all line department at least twice a year.
6.2. Trainings and Capacity Building
The approach for the capacity analysis should eye the short term, medium term and long term
timeline for policy and cutting edge level with a multi-layer approach. The trainings must
target the stakeholders responsible to ll in the gaps in capacity identied in chapter 2. These
trainings should leverage upon the local capacity of the district to facilitate various programs.
The programs to work on the capacity gaps must target the stakeholders at the policy level with
training of ofcials at DDMA, at cutting edge level with training of civil defence, home guard
and police. These trainings should eye both response and mitigation centric approach to build
upon the existing capacity of the district. To enhance capacity for disaster management the
following training plan is proposed:

6.3. Community Capacity Building
Communities are not only the rst to be affected in disasters but also the rst responders.
Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes
volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. The community participation
for DM would be promoted on the moto of “self-help”, “help thy neighbour” and “help thy
community”. The Community Based Approaches or community participation in disaster
management is also referred to as Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) or
Community Based Disaster Risk Management Capacity (CBDRM) with the essential feature
of reducing vulnerability and disaster risk. Community Capacity Building includes formation
and strengthening of the community disaster response or preparedness structures, awareness,
training, public information campaigns, sustainable livelihood activities, through skill
development, formation of task teams for SAR, WASH, Early Warning, First Aid, Shelter
Management. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require
special attention. Networking of youth and women based organisation would be done and
they will be trained in the various aspects of response such as rst aid, search and rescue,
management of community shelters, psycho-social counselling, distribution of relief and
accessing support from government/agencies etc. Community plans will be dovetailed into
the Panchayat, Block and District plans. DDMA will coordinate with volunteers and social
organizations like Home Guards, NYKS, NCC, Red Cross, Market Trade Associations, Youth
Clubs, Self Help Group (SHGs), CBO's, NGO's and Anganwadi centres, etc. play a vital role
in spreading mass scale community awareness. Media equally plays an important role in
raising awareness and educating people. Skill- development at the community level can be
done on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to ensure sustainability of the community
against disasters. Public awareness can be brought about through:
Traditional modes of promoting knowledge and awareness would be adopted such as
use of folk songs, nuked nataks, etc.
Community would be targeted through local fairs and festivals.
Documentaries in local language would be screened through local cable networks etc.
and mass media would be roped to promote education and awareness.
Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Village Contingency Planning
(VCP) are critical aspects for capacity building at the community-level and will be managed
by the concerned departments in the district. Multiple responsibilities within the arena of
capacity-building and training will be delegated to local authorities, PRED and ULBs under
the overall guidance of the District Administration.

6.3. Community Capacity Building
Communities are not only the rst to be affected in disasters but also the rst responders.
Community participation ensures local ownership, addresses local needs, and promotes
volunteerism and mutual help to prevent and minimize damage. The community participation
for DM would be promoted on the moto of “self-help”, “help thy neighbour” and “help thy
community”. The Community Based Approaches or community participation in disaster
management is also referred to as Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) or
Community Based Disaster Risk Management Capacity (CBDRM) with the essential feature
of reducing vulnerability and disaster risk. Community Capacity Building includes formation
and strengthening of the community disaster response or preparedness structures, awareness,
training, public information campaigns, sustainable livelihood activities, through skill
development, formation of task teams for SAR, WASH, Early Warning, First Aid, Shelter
Management. The needs of the elderly, women, children and differently able persons require
special attention. Networking of youth and women based organisation would be done and
they will be trained in the various aspects of response such as rst aid, search and rescue,
management of community shelters, psycho-social counselling, distribution of relief and
accessing support from government/agencies etc. Community plans will be dovetailed into
the Panchayat, Block and District plans. DDMA will coordinate with volunteers and social
organizations like Home Guards, NYKS, NCC, Red Cross, Market Trade Associations, Youth
Clubs, Self Help Group (SHGs), CBO's, NGO's and Anganwadi centres, etc. play a vital role
in spreading mass scale community awareness. Media equally plays an important role in
raising awareness and educating people. Skill- development at the community level can be
done on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to ensure sustainability of the community
against disasters. Public awareness can be brought about through:
Traditional modes of promoting knowledge and awareness would be adopted such as
use of folk songs, nuked nataks, etc.
Community would be targeted through local fairs and festivals.
Documentaries in local language would be screened through local cable networks etc.
and mass media would be roped to promote education and awareness.
Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) and Village Contingency Planning
(VCP) are critical aspects for capacity building at the community-level and will be managed
by the concerned departments in the district. Multiple responsibilities within the arena of
capacity-building and training will be delegated to local authorities, PRED and ULBs under
the overall guidance of the District Administration.

Functional rehabilitation: eg., Physiotheraphy, occupational therapy, prosthetic and
orthotic services
Corrective surgery
Assistive devices
Information leaets in Braille
Sign language for early warning systems
Disabled Peoples Organizations
Support services: care taker, sign language interpreter, adapted transportation
services, etc.
Not all organizations can focus on disability issues to the same extent, every organization has
to choose its level of involvement and accordingly obtains the appropriate education/training/

RESPONE AND RELIEF MEASURES
7.1. Introduction
The post disaster phase of Disaster Management looks into Relief, rehabilitation,
reconstruction and recovery. The effective disaster management strategy aims to lessen
disaster impacts through strengthening and reorienting existing organizational and
administrative structure from district – state to national level. Relief on the contrary, is viewed
as an overarching system of facilitation of assistance to the victims of disaster for their
rehabilitation in States and ensuring social safety and security of the affected persons. Relief
needs to be prompt, adequate and of approved standards. It is no longer perceived only as
gratuitous assistance or provision of emergency relief supplies on time. Emergency response
plan is, thus, a rst attempt to follow a multi-hazard approach to bring out all the disasters on a
single platform, incorporating disaster resilient features to 'build back better' as the guiding
principle. It provides a framework to the primary and secondary agencies and departments,
which can outline their own activities for disaster response. Response process begins as soon
as it becomes apparent that a disastrous event is imminent and lasts until the disaster is declared
to be over Disaster response is aimed at: Saving Life-Minimis the Loss- Stabilising the
Situation.
7.2. Response Planning
The onset of an emergency creates the need for time sensitive actions to save life and property,
reduce hardships and suffering, and restore essential life support and community systems, to
mitigate further damage or loss and provide the foundation for subsequent recovery. Effective
response planning requires realistic identication of likely response functions, assignment of
specic tasks to individual response agencies, identication of equipment, supplies and
personnel required by the response agencies for performing the assigned tasks. A response plan
essentially outlines the strategy and resources needed for search and rescue, evacuation, etc.

Centre (DEOC), a special media cell will be created during the emergency. Both print and
electronic media are regularly brief by some senior ofcial designated from DDMA at
predetermined time intervals about the events as they occur and the prevailing situation on
ground. The District information Ofcer in consultation with the DDMA would take
appropriate steps in this direction also too.
7.5.5. VIP management
It may be possible that the scale of a disaster may in addition prompt visits of the VVIPS/VIP
which further requires the active management to ensure the effortlessly ongoing response and
relief work without any interruption. DDMA will be designated senior ofcial to handle the
VVIPs/VIPs visits to the affected areas and further to brief the VVIP/VIP beforehand about
the details of casualties, damage and the nature of the disaster. The Police and Home guard will
be handled all the security of VVIPs/VIP during their visit. It would be desirable to restrict
media coverage of such visits, in which case the police should liaise with the government press
ofcer to keep their number to minimum.
7.6.6. NGO Coordination and Management
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) will play as one of the most effective alternative
means of achieving an efcient communications link between the disaster management
agencies and the effected community due to their outreach at the grassroots level. As per the
section 35 and 38 of the DM Act 2005 stipulates that the DDMA shall specically emphasize
the coordination of actions with NGOs. In typical disaster situation, DDMA with the support
of DRDA, will coordinate the NGOs/CBO's and further manage their work in prompt
response, relief and rescue. It will also monitor and take feedback at grassroots level by the
agreeable community participation.
7.7.7. Disposal of dead bodies and carcass
District administration will coordinate to arrange the mass cremation burial of the dead bodies
with support of police & forest department after observing all codal formalities & maintain the
video recording of such unclaimed dead bodies after properly handing over the same to their
kith or kin. Department of animal husbandry in association with the local administration shall
be responsible for the deposal of the animal carcass in case of mass destruction.
7.7 Principles of Deployment of Armed Forces
Judicious Use of Armed Forces: Assistance by Armed Forces should be
requisitioned only when it becomes absolutely necessary and when the situation cannot be
handled by the civil administration from within its resources. However, this does not imply
that the response must be graduated. If the scale of disaster so dictates, all available resources
must be requisitioned simultaneously.
Immediate Response: When natural and other calamities occur, the speed for
rendering aid is of paramount importance. It is clear that, under such circumstances,
prior sanction for assistance may not always be forth coming. In such cases, when
approached for assistance, the Army should provide the same without delay. No
separate Government approval for aid rendered in connection with assistance during
natural disaster sand other calamities is necessary.
Command of Troops: Army units while operating under these circumstances
continue to be under command of their own commanders, and assistance rendered is
based on task basis.
No Menial Tasks: While assigning tasks to troops, it must be rendered that they are
not employed for menial tasks e.g. troops must not be utilised for disposal of dead
bodies.
Requisition of Aid on Task Basis: While requisitioning the Army, the assistance
should not be asked for in terms of number of columns, engineers and medical teams.
Instead, the-civil administration should spell out tasks, and leave it to Army authorities
to decide on the force level, equipment and methodologies to tackle the situation.
Regular Liaison and Co-ordination: In order to ensure that optimum benets
derived out of Armed Forces employment, regular liaison and coordination needs to be
done at all levels and contingency plans made and disseminated to the lowest level of
civil administration and the Army.

Advance Planning and Training: Army formations located in areas prone to disaster
must have detailed plans worked out to cater for all possible contingencies. Troops
should be well briefed and kept ready to meet any contingency. Use of the
Vulnerability Atlas where available must be made.
Integration of all Available Resources: All available resources, equipment,
accommodation and medical resources with civil administration, civil rms and
NGOs need to be taken into account while evolving disaster relief plans. All the
resources should be integrated to achieve optimum results. Assistance from outside
agencies can be super imposed on the available resources.
Early De-requisitioning: Soon after the situation in a disaster-affected area has been
brought under control of the civil administration, Armed Forces should be de-
requisitioned.

RECONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION
AND RECOVERY MEASURES
8.1. Sector specic approach and processes for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and
Recovery
Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery process demands co-ordinate focus on multi
disciplinary aspects of reconstruction and rehabilitation for recovery and is essential to
understand disaster reconstruction, rehabilitation under the holistic framework of post disaster
recovery. It will be in the form of recommendation rather than the rule. Rehabilitation and
reconstruction are primarily carried out by the local bodies (Gram Panchayats, District,
Talukas, Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, etc.) and different Government
departments and boards. The reconstruction and rehabilitation plan is designed specically for
worst case scenario. Post disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation should pay attention to the
following activities for speedy recovery in disaster affected areas. The contribution of both
government as well as affected people is signicant to deal with all the issues properly.
Immediate and Long Term recovery plan includes following broad activities:
Damage assessment
Disposal of debris
Disbursement of assistance for houses
Formulation of assistance packages
Monitoring and review
Relocation
Town planning and development plans
Reconstruction as Housing Replacement Policy
Awareness and capacity building
Housing insurance
Grievance redressal
Sector Approach Process
Detailed damages and needs assessment: Multi sectoral/ multi-disciplinary teams are to be made which can do a detailed damage and need assessment of the entire area. Develop a detailed recovery plan through multi departmental participation. Specic recovery plan through consultat ive p rocess o f d i ff e ren t l ine department are to be made. Arrange for funds from Central government, state government, multi-lateral agencies (World Bank or ADB)” M u l t i s e c t o r a l P r o j e c t Management Unit to be made.

CHAPTER 9
FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF DDMP
9.1 Existing sources of Funds for Disaster Management in the District:
State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF): SDRF is a fund constituted under section
48(1) (a) of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (53 of 2005), these guidelines are
being issued under section 62 of the DM Act, 2005.
Calamities Covered under SDRF: The SDRF shall be used only for meeting the expenditure
for providing immediate relief to the victims of cyclones, drought, earthquake, re, ood,
tsunami, hailstorm, landslide, avalanches, cloud burst and pest attack.
National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) : NDRF is a fund constituted under
section 46 of the Disaster Management Act 2005.These Guidelines are issued under
section 46 (2) of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (hereinafter DM Act, 2005), to
supplement funds from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) of a State, to
facilitate immediate relief in case of calamities of a severe nature.
Calamities Covered under NDRF: Natural Calamities of Cyclone, drought, earthquake, re,
ood, tsunami, hailstorm, avalanches, Cloud burst and pest attack considered being of severe
nature by Government of India and requiring expenditure by a State Government in excess of
the balances available in its own State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF), will qualify for
immediate relief assistance from NDRF.
Flexi-funds under Centrally Sponsored Schemes: NITI Aayog has issued
instructions for Rationalization of CSS, vide OM No. O-11013/02/2015-CSS & CMC
dated 17th August, 2016. These instructions are applicable for Centrally Sponsored
Schemes with one of the key objective “To undertake mitigation/ restoration activities
in case of natural calamities, or to satisfy local requirements in areas affected by
internal security disturbances. Therefore the CSS mentioned in Chapter 4 of this plan
are one potential source of funding for mitigation/restoration activities.
9.2Funds to be created under DM Act 2005
District Disaster Response Funds (DDRF)
DDRF is proposed to be created at the District Level as mandated by Section 48 of the
DM Act. The disaster response funds at the district level would be used by the DDMA
towards meeting expenses for emergency response, relief, rehabilitation in accordance
with the guidelines and norms laid down by the Government of India and the State
Government.

allocations, and ongoing programmes. They will also identify mitigation projects and project
them for funding in consultation with the SDMA/DDMA to the appropriate funding agency.
9.4. Techno-Financial Regime
Considering that the assistance provided by the Government for rescue, relief, rehabilitation
and reconstruction needs cannot compensate for massive losses on account of disasters, new
nancial tools such as catastrophe risk nancing, risk insurance, catastrophe bonds, micro-
nance and insurance etc., will be promoted with innovative scal incentives to cover such
losses of individuals, communities and the corporate sector. In this regard, the Environmental
Relief Fund under the Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, enacted for providing relief to
chemical accident victims is worth mentioning. Some nancial practices such as disaster risk
insurance, micro-nance and micro-insurance, warranty on newly constructed houses and
structures and linking safe construction with home loans will be considered for adoption.
9.5. Other Financing Options
DDMA in coordination with the departments will identify other nancing options for
restoration of infrastructure/livelihoods, like utilization of exi fund within Centrally
Sponsored Scheme for mitigation/restoration activities in the event of natural calamities in
accordance with the broad objective of the Central Sector Scheme.
Opportunities of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & Public-Private Sectors funds
investments would also be explored and elaborated by the DDMA for increasing disaster
resilience.

COORDINATON MECHANISM FOR
IMPLEMENATION OF DDMP
11.1. Introduction
The Coordination between District and Local governments is vital for the proper disaster
management. It requires both inter departmental and intra departmental coordination with all
the stakeholder line departments and local bodies like, PWD, Irrigation, MESCOM, Health
and Family Welfare, re and home guards, police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, forest,
revenue Education, Agriculture horticulture, KSRTC, Red Cross, MCC,NGO's. CBO's and
other local authorities These partnerships recognize that each level of the disaster management
arrangements must work collaboratively to ensure the effective coordination of planning,
services, information and resources necessary for comprehensive disaster management.
The DDMP of the district is a three tier disaster management coordination based on bottom to
top approach i.e. tehsil level, Sub-Division level and District Level. This system enables a
progressive escalation of support and assistance.
The arrangements comprises of several key management and coordination structures. The
principal structures that make up the Arrangements are:
(A) Disaster management committees are operational at tehsil, Sub-Division and district level.
The above committees are responsible for planning, organising, coordinating and
implementing all measures required to mitigate, prevent, prepare, respond and recover from
disasters the affected area under their jurisdiction.
(B) Emergency Operation Centers at tehsil, Sub-Division and district level supports disaster
management groups while coordinating information, resources, and services necessary for
disaster operations.
(C) Functional agencies of district administration, DDMA and DDEC, are responsible to
coordinate and manage specic threats and provide support to other agencies on and as require
11.2. Intra-Departmental Coordination:-
Each stake holder department i.e., PWD, Irrigation, MESCOM, Health and Family Welfare,
re and home guards, police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, forest, revenue Education,
Agriculture horticulture, KSRTC, MCC will constitute departmental level disaster
management committee headed by a gazetted ofcer pertaining to that department. The
committees will organise quarterly meetings of the committee members to analyses the
preparedness level of the department in regard to disaster management. The committee will
also decide the measures to be taken for reducing the gaps in their capacities and keep the
proper record of the same.
11.3. Sub division level coordination mechanism:-

meeting the sub division level disaster management committee to review the preparedness
level and plan to reduce the gaps identied. The chairperson will further report the situation to
the DDMA and send the requisition of resources if required.
11.4. Tehsil level coordination mechanism:-
As per the institutional mechanism, tehsildar will call for the quarterly meeting at the tehsil
level disaster management committee to review the preparedness level and plan to reduce the
gaps identied at Tehsil level.
11.5. Arrangements at local level
It is the local level that manages disasters within their own communities. Tehsil, sub division
and district levels are to provide additional resources, support, assistance and expertise as
required. Local government is the key management agency for disaster events at local level.
Local government achieves coordinated disaster management approach through Local
Disaster Management committees.

CHAPTER 11
COORDINATON MECHANISM FOR
IMPLEMENATION OF DDMP
11.1. Introduction
The Coordination between District and Local governments is vital for the proper disaster
management. It requires both inter departmental and intra departmental coordination with all
the stakeholder line departments and local bodies like, PWD, Irrigation, MESCOM, Health
and Family Welfare, re and home guards, police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, forest,
revenue Education, Agriculture horticulture, KSRTC, Red Cross, MCC,NGO's. CBO's and
other local authorities These partnerships recognize that each level of the disaster management
arrangements must work collaboratively to ensure the effective coordination of planning,
services, information and resources necessary for comprehensive disaster management.
The DDMP of the district is a three tier disaster management coordination based on bottom to
top approach i.e. tehsil level, Sub-Division level and District Level. This system enables a
progressive escalation of support and assistance.
The arrangements comprises of several key management and coordination structures. The
principal structures that make up the Arrangements are:
(A) Disaster management committees are operational at tehsil, Sub-Division and district level.
The above committees are responsible for planning, organising, coordinating and
implementing all measures required to mitigate, prevent, prepare, respond and recover from
disasters the affected area under their jurisdiction.
(B) Emergency Operation Centers at tehsil, Sub-Division and district level supports disaster
management groups while coordinating information, resources, and services necessary for
disaster operations.
(C) Functional agencies of district administration, DDMA and DDEC, are responsible to
coordinate and manage specic threats and provide support to other agencies on and as require
11.2. Intra-Departmental Coordination:-
Each stake holder department i.e., PWD, Irrigation, MESCOM, Health and Family Welfare,
re and home guards, police, BSNL, Food and Civil Supply, forest, revenue Education,
Agriculture horticulture, KSRTC, MCC will constitute departmental level disaster
management committee headed by a gazetted ofcer pertaining to that department. The
committees will organise quarterly meetings of the committee members to analyses the
preparedness level of the department in regard to disaster management. The committee will
also decide the measures to be taken for reducing the gaps in their capacities and keep the
proper record of the same.
11.3. Sub division level coordination mechanism:-
As per the institutional mechanism, sub divisional ofcer (Civil) will call for the quarterly
meeting the sub division level disaster management committee to review the preparedness
level and plan to reduce the gaps identied. The chairperson will further report the situation to
the DDMA and send the requisition of resources if required.
11.4. Tehsil level coordination mechanism:-
As per the institutional mechanism, tehsildar will call for the quarterly meeting at the tehsil
level disaster management committee to review the preparedness level and plan to reduce the
gaps identied at Tehsil level.
11.5. Arrangements at local level
It is the local level that manages disasters within their own communities. Tehsil, sub division
and district levels are to provide additional resources, support, assistance and expertise as
required. Local government is the key management agency for disaster events at local level.
Local government achieves coordinated disaster management approach through Local
Disaster Management committees.
11.6. Coordination system with inter departments and at district level
The District Magistrate/DC is the head of the District administrative set up and chairperson of
the DDMA as per the DM Act, 2005. She / He has been designated as the responsible ofcer in
the District. The heads of different departments in the District will have separate roles to play
depending on the nature and kind of disaster. The roles and responsibilities of the members of
the DDMA will be decided in advance in consultation with the concerned members
Pre Disaster coordination: Minimum Annual meetings for review of preparedness and
discussing the roles and responsibilities of the line departments, tehsils and Sub Divisions. The
meeting agenda would be discussing the capacity of each department in terms of SAR (Search
& Equipments) equipment's and manpower and regular updation of the same
Disaster phase coordination: Coordination through phone or any other mode of
communication in a disaster phase is not possible hence all the line departments and training
institutes in the district should report to the DEOC as soon as the disaster strikes. After
loss/damage assessment at the DEOC, the RO (D.C) would direct various stake holders to
deploy their resources and task forces in the affected areas. Relief camps would be setup at a
pre-dened location.
District Disaster Management Plan for Dakshina Kannada District 2019-20 District Disaster Management Plan for Dakshina Kannada District 2018-19
Post disaster coordination: In the post disaster phase, the RO would take updates on the
conditions of basic amenities like water, food, roads, law and order etc from the respective
departments. An assessment of relief given and need of rehabilitation would also be taken in
the post disaster phase.
11.6. Coordination mechanism with community:-
The community will be coordinated through the village disaster management committees. The
mentioned committees generally comprises of
Frequency of local Committee meetings
Local Committee meetings must be held at least once in every six months at particular time and
place decided by the chairperson of the group. In addition, the chairperson of a Local
Committee must call a meeting if asked, in writing, to do so by:
a) The District Authority for the Disaster district in which the Local Committee is
situated; or
b) At least one-half plus one of the members of the Local Committee.
c) To help the Local government to prepare a local disaster management plan for
its area;
d) To identify, and provide advice to the relevant District Authority about support
services required by the Local Committee to facilitate disaster management
and disaster operations in the area;

11.7. Coordination mechanism with NGOs, CBOs, Self Help Groups (SHGs),
The strong linkages which NGOs CBOs have with grassroots 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 signicant role in working with local communities and introducing innovative
approaches based on the good practices followed in other countries.
NGOs can bring in the nancial resources from bi-lateral and multilateral donors for
implementing pragmatic and innovative approaches to deal with disaster risk and vulnerability,
by effectively integrating and converging the various government programs, schemes and
projects to create the required synergy in transforming the lives of at-risk communities.
THE DDMA will maintain a proper record of the NGO's and CBO's working in the district and
also map the available resources for them. The DDMA will appoint a Nodal ofcer for
coordination with NGO's, CBO's and SHG's. The DDMA will call annual meeting of NGO's,
CBO's & SHG's for mapping their resources. The meeting will be coordinated by the
designated Nodal ofcer.

Guidelines for Disposal of Animal Carcasses
Guidelines for Burial
Burial shall be performed in the most remote area possible.
Burial areas shall be located a minimum of 300 feet down gradient from wells, springs and other water sources.
Burial shall not be made within 300 feet of streams or ponds, or in soils identied in the country soil survey as being frequently ooded.
The bottom of the pit or trench should be minimum 4 to 6 feet above the water table.
Pits or trenches shall approximately be 4 to 6 feet deep. They should have stable slopes not steeper than 1 foot vertical to 1 foot horizontal.
Animal Carcasses shall be uniformly placed in the pit or trench so that they do not exceed a maximum thickness of 2 feet. The cover over and surrounding shall be a minimum of 3 feet. The cover shall be shaped so as to drain the runoff away from the pit or trench.
The bottom of trenches left open shall be sloped to drain and shall have an outlet. All surface runoff shall be diverted from entering the trench.
Burial areas shall be inspected regularly and any subsidence or cavities lled.
Guidelines for Composting
Select site that is well drained, at least 300 feet from water sources, sinkholes, seasonal seeps or other landscape features that indicate hydrological sensitivity in the area.
Lay 24-inch bed of bulky, absorbent organic material containing sizeable pieces 4 to 6 inches long. Wood chips or hay straw work well. Ensure the base is large enough to allow for 2-foot clearance around the carcass.
Lay animal in the centre of the bed. Lance the rumen to avoid bloating and possible explosion. Explosive release of gases can result in odour problems and it will blow the cover material off the compositing carcass.
When disposing large amounts of blood or body uid, make sure there is plenty of material to absorb the liquid. Make a depression so blood can be absorbed and then cover, if a blood spill occurs, scrape it up and put back in pile.
Cover carcass with dry, high-carbon material, old silage, sawdust or dry stall bedding (some semi-solid manure will expedite the process). Make sure all residuals are well covered to keep odours down, generate heat or keep vermin or other unwanted animals out of the window.
Let it sit for 4 to 6 months, then check to see if carcass is fully degraded.
Reuse the composted material for carcass compost pile, or remove large bones and land apply.
Site cleanliness is the most important aspect of composting; it deters scavengers, and helps control odours and keeps good neighbourly relations.
Note: Animals that show signs of a neurological disease, animals that die under quarantine and those with anthrax should not be composted.

LOCATION AND MANNING
The ECR is proposed to be set up in the DC's Ofce building located in Mangalore city
so that it is easily approachable during any emergency.
The ECR is normally not manned but the district administration may consider
manning the same with skeleton staff during monsoon period when there are chances of oods
/ cyclone in the district. However, during an emergency, members of Emergency organisation
and other supporting staff would man the ECR.
Only a limited and prearranged number of people would be admitted to the ECR when
in use, which would eliminate unnecessary interference and reduce confusion. Security
would be put in-charge of limiting access to the ECR.
There should be an alternate ECR at different location, which could be mobilised in
case the main ECR is directly affected by the accident or too risky to operate. The Alternate
ECR could be Superintendent of Police ofce building.

Voluntary Organisation
The district administration has to depend on the local voluntary organisations to
effectively meet any emergency. This is because of the less response time required for
mobilisation and also because of the familiarity of the place which is very important factor.

LOCATION AND MANNING
The ECR is proposed to be set up in the DC's Ofce building located in Mangalore city
so that it is easily approachable during any emergency.
The ECR is normally not manned but the district administration may consider
manning the same with skeleton staff during monsoon period when there are chances of oods
/ cyclone in the district. However, during an emergency, members of Emergency organisation
and other supporting staff would man the ECR.
Only a limited and prearranged number of people would be admitted to the ECR when
in use, which would eliminate unnecessary interference and reduce confusion. Security
would be put in-charge of limiting access to the ECR.
There should be an alternate ECR at different location, which could be mobilised in
case the main ECR is directly affected by the accident or too risky to operate. The Alternate
ECR could be Superintendent of Police ofce building.
