INTRODUCTION

DISASTER
RESILIENCE
A disaster can be defined as any occurrence that cause damage, ecological disruption, loss of human life, deterioration of health and health services on a scale, sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected community or area”. (W.H.O.)
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions. (UNISDR)
THE WORLD’S COMMUNITIES FACE DISASTERS FROM:
• FLOODS• SEVERE
WINDSTORMS• EARTHQUAKES• TSUNAMIS• DROUGHTS• VOLCANIC
ERUPTIONS• LANDSLIDES• WILDFIRES
EARTHQUAKE SCENERIO IN INDIA
Seismic zoning map brought out by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), over 65% of the country is prone to earthquakes of intensity MSK VII or more.
Gujarat Earthquake have very clearly illustrated that we need mitigation, preparedness and response plans so that the threat to human life and property is minimized.
Six major earthquakes have struck different parts of India over a span of the last 15 years.
Some of the most intense earthquakes of the world have
occurred in India, but fortunately, none of these have occurred in any of the major
cities.
ITS MARCH 11, 2011 . . . NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE:
Congestion of telephoneTelephone communication system shut downBackup power stoppedDestruction and flooding of communication equipment by tsunami
SERVICES:E-mail unavailableEarthquake warning system would not work.Destruction of information distribution systems, disappearance of important data, destruction and disappearance of family registers, resident information, etc. in local government
IMMEDIATE RECOVERY MEASURES
Funding By Bank Of Japan
Relief Measures By Satellite
Communication System
Against Earthquake
Against Power Failure
Against Tsunami
Restoration Of Infrastructure
FUTURE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
• Commitment to securing communication• Construction of large-zone base stations • Disaster voice message service• Earthquake countermeasures for
underground facilities
ESTABLISHMENT OF FG-DR&NRR• Scope Identifying requirements for disaster relief and network
resilience Identifying existing standards Identifying any additional standards Encouraging collaboration
• Objective: to make following documents Disaster relief systems and/or
applications from a telecommunication perspective, Improved network resilience and recovery capability which
could better cope with a disaster.
GOAL Sustainable Reduction in Earthquake Risk in the most earthquake-prone urban area across the country.
GOI-UNDP DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
URBAN EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITY REDUCTION PROJECT
VULNERABILITY REDUCTION PROJECT
OBJECTIVES
Create awareness among government functionaries, technical
institutions,NGOs, CBOs and communities
about earthquake vulnerability and possible preventive
actions..
Development and Institutionalising of Earthquake Preparedness and
ResponsePlans and practise these through
mock drills
Development of regulatory framework (techno-legal regime) to
promote safeconstruction and systems to ensure
compliance
Capacity building for certification by Government functionaries and
professionals (engineers and architects
ACTIVITIES
Awareness Generation• Consultations• City specific awareness campaign strategies• Awareness generation programmes• Development of Ready reckoners. And user-
friendly manual
Earthquake Preparedness plan
• Networking of nodal agencies and partners at different levels
• Formation of city and ward level disaster management teams
• Inventory of resources at all levels for speedy response
Developing a Techno-Legal Framework
• Orientation for policy makers• City specific audit of safe building practices• Certification system for engineers and architects• Vulnerability databases for risk and vulnerability
analysis
Capacity Building• Capacities of students of engineering &
architecture• Technical support, trainings and periodic
assessments• Capacity building of quick response teams
(qrts)• Resident welfare associations

Networking
• Web-based portal on knowledge sharing, inter-city co-operation on earthquake vulnerability reduction initiative research and documentation
• Capability assessment and national training plan for earthquake risk management
• Development of risk and Vulnerability Indices
Strategy
• Support National Government [MHA] efforts in strengthening its role.
• Community and urban local bodies. preparedness and response, including support to key National and State level resource institutions.
• Facilitate State and Local self Governments in ensuring administrative, institutional, financial and techno-legal mechanisms for seismic risk management
• Empower communities at risk to engage in comprehensive earthquake risk management in the most vulnerable urban centres.
Outcomes
• Enhanced capacities in Ministry of Home Affairs for disaster risk management
• Administrative and institutional framework for earthquake risk management in the most vulnerable urban centres of the country
• Development of an Earthquake Scenario document for each city
• An aware and informed community, students and teachers, key government functionaries,Masons and engineering in
• Institutionalisation of regular preparedness drills institutions, policy makers etc.
Cont..
• Review & amendment of the existing zoning regulations• Knowledge network for better involvement of stakeholders• Integration of vulnerability reduction into development
programmes to allocate resources more effectively based on needs.
Conclusions
• Developed countries like Japan also faced the problem of communication failure but the preparedness helped in quick recovery
• In countries like India which are Still developing and do not have strong back up system in times of disaster the capacity of community has to be built
