Preface
The District Disaster Management Plan Nowshera is an answer to mitigate the adverse effects of, prepare for and respond to any disaster situation. The climate change has given rise to many disasters that pose severe threat to the human life, property and infrastructure. Disasters like floods, earthquakes, droughts are some prominent manifestations of climate change phenomenon. Pakistan, which is ranked in the top ten countries that are the most vulnerable to climate change effects, started planning to safeguard and secure the life, land and property of its people in particular the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalized. However, recurring disasters since 2005 have provided the required stimuli for accelerating the efforts towards capacity building of the responsible agencies, which include federal, provincial, district governments, community organizations, NGOs and individuals.
Prior to 2005, the West Pakistan National Calamities Act of 1958 was the available legal remedy that regulated the maintenance and restoration of order in areas affected by calamities and relief against such calamities. An Emergency Relief Cell within the Cabinet Division has been serving since 1971 as an institutional disaster relief support at the national level. Similar institutional arrangements existed at the provincial level in the form of relief commissioners. However, that regime provided a reactive approach towards emergency response only.
In Pakistan the paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive approach can be attributed to UNISDR’s Hyogo Framework of Action (2005-2015) signed by 168 countries including Pakistan but it was only in the aftermath of the October 2005 earthquake, the Government of Pakistan promulgated the National Disaster Management Ordinance in 2007 to introduce a comprehensive National Disaster Management System in the country. The Ordinance became the Act called the National Disaster Management Act in December 2010. The Act establishes three tiers for the disaster management system: i.e., national, provincial and district levels. Resultantly, PDMA has been established at provincial level with District Disaster Management Unit (DDMU) at the District Level. As per the NDM Act 2010 Amended vide National Disaster Management (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) (Amendment) Act, 2012 , each Provincial Government shall, as soon as may be after issue of notification under sub-section (1) of section 13, by notification in the Official Gazette, establish a District Disaster Management Unit for every district.
One of the key functions of the DDMU is to prepare a disaster management plan including district response plan for the district and to co-ordinate and monitor the implementation of the National Policy, Provincial Policy, National Plan, Provincial Plan and the District Plan.
This Plan is thus aimed at enhancing the capacity of the district to prepare for and respond to disasters by defining the measures to be considered necessary for disaster management and risk reduction in line with the provision of the National Disaster Management Act.
The overall DDMP is a comprehensive plan, It consist of detailed overview of the district, a macro level hazards and risk assessment, , identification of the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders, including district government, community organizations, NGOs, businesses, and individuals who are involved in the disaster management. The Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) approach, in view of its universal reorganization and importance in DRM planning, has been given due place in the Plan. Based on pilot activities some guidelines for assessment and retrofitting of schools and construction guidelines for housing have been annexed to the Plan to serve as models for future DRM activities in Nowshera. The Plan also provides strategic priorities with indicative budgets.

At the UC level the current administrative set up is that Assistant Director Local government is the head and UC secretaries come under him. The newly established system which is expected to come under new ordinance for the upcoming local government structure is that Union council is divided in three to five village councils in rural areas while in urban areas it has been divided in 3-5 wards.The union council will be headed by an elected body i.e. Chairman whereas same will be applied at the village level. At the district level deputy commissioner is at the helm of affairs managing planning & finance activities of various developmental projects for the benefit of the masses, like; allocation of funds for various civic amenities, education, healthcare, C&W, agriculture etc

Chapter 03 Hazard, Vulnerability and Risk Profile
3.1. Disaster Risk
Disaster Risk is the likelihood of harmful consequences or losses (death, injuries, destroyed property, economic activities disrupted or damaged environment) resulting from interaction between a hazard and vulnerable conditions/capable conditions. Risk is the probability that a hazard will occur at a given location within a given time period and will inflict casualties and damage (UNISDR).
Disaster Risk = Function (Hazard, Vulnerability, Exposure)
3.2. Disaster Risk in Nowshera
As per the national Disaster Management Plan 2012-22, District Nowshera is ranked as one of the most at risk district in Pakistan. The relative severity index of the NDMP puts it as the most “At risk District” in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with a total risk weightage of 24.12
12 It may be noted that as per PDMA officials, there are several discrepancies in the severity index; for example in Chitral , which
is in Seismic Zone 4 as per PBC Seismic provision 2007, Earthquake Risk has been ignored by providing “very Low” to Earthquake
risk in the District.

3.3. Overview of Hazards in District Nowshera
The district is prone to both natural and human induced hazards. This diverse profile includes hazards like riverine floods, flash Floods, Earthquakes, Land sliding, Soil Erosion, Epidemics, Drought, Pest Attacks, water born disease, hail Storms as well as industrial fires, sectarian violence, terrorism and the huge displaced population and Afghan refugees influx in Nowshera.
Apart from the above-mentioned disasters a protracted issue faced by district Nowshera is the huge influx of IDPs/ TDPs living both in and off camp. It is hosting 03 Afghan Refugee Camps and 01 Internally Displaced Persons Camp at Jalozai. The influx of Afghan refugees

is being faced since 1979 when Russia invaded Afghanistan and estimated 1.8 million people flee from their houses and migrated to Pakistan. The Jalozai camp is situated in tehsil Pabbi, since May 2008. At times it sheltered hundreds and thousands of DPs families from other districts of KP and FATA. The camp presently shelters 55,850 individuals from Khyber Agency. The camp has some impact on the law & order situation of the district, as crime ratio as Ransom, abduction, and street crimes have increased to a certain point.
3.3.1. Riverine Floods:
Western Peshawar basin is endangered by both riverine floods as well as flash floods.
Riverine floods are caused by high discharge in 07 streams, which include Jindai and Khiali
(Nowshera River), Sardaryab, Naguman and Shah Alam (Kabul River). Other notable rivers
include Kalapani from north of Mardan and Bara from south of Peshawar. Except for
Kalapani and Jindai rivers, rest of these distributaries converge into main Kabul river within
an area of 5 km immediately upstream the Kabul river bridge on M1 Motorway. Bara River
joins the Kabul river immediately past M1 Kabul river bridge while Jindai and Kalapani join
the Kabul River further downstream near Nowshera. Therefore, within a stretch of about 15
km between M1 Kabul river bridge and Nowshera, Kabul river is primarily a confluence area
for 7 major river courses, which not only makes this region most vulnerable to flood hazards,
but is supplier of an influx of flood water for Nowshera district. River Kabul is thus the main
source of flooding in district. District Nowshera is not only vulnerable to Flooding due to river
Kabul but also due to the back water effect of River Indus at Kund near Attock where River
Kabul meet the mighty Indus river. The same happened in 201014 when the water could not
be drained out quickly due to a record discharge of 400,000 cusecs of water in Kabul as
compared to an average normal capacity of 160,000 cusecs at Nowshera as well as
discharge from Trabela Dam at Attock was phenomenal with 158200 cusecs as recorded on
27th July 2010.
14Standing flood waters within 10km upstream of Nowshera was noted to be receding more slowly, with little significant
change between 31 July and 5 Aug. 2010 (Source: Flood Analysis with RADARSAT-2 Satellite, UNITAR)
16
Major Rivers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Source: Irrigation Department)
The time lag of Kabul River from Warsak to Nowshera is 10 hours and thus the warning and evacuation time available for the district, especially the UCs at the banks of the river is less. Considering the warning time available when Nowshera River floods at Khwazakhela and Amandara can be comparatively much safer as compared to when Kabul River floods due to rains in Afghanistan and FATA where no rain water gauges and telemetry stations available.

17
in July 2010 which caused exceptional damages. It caused drastic losses to infrastructure, government installations, properties, businesses, livestock and houses. The following UCs were severely affected during 2010 floods;

The Consultations with stakeholders also reveals that Riverine floods are considered as the most important hazard and which needs to be tackled.
Floods also damaged the road networks, the roads washed away or badly damaged and such situation created lot of problems in response phase as it get very difficult to move injured/patients and local communities of the area. An estimated loss by 2010-11 floods was recorded as US $ 10 billion and US $ 3.7 billion respectively.
3.3.2. Flash floods:
Flash flooding is a common phenomenon in district Nowshera; due to the mountainous terrain in the southern parts of district and due to encroachment in the urban centre of Nowshera City, flash flooding is very common. Whenever there is high rainfall in the area, there is a kind of flash floods in various parts of the district. The urban Centre/ Nowshera City, Nowshera Cantt,Pabbi, Akora Khattak, Jahangira and rural area of Khesgi Paya,Bala, Akbar Pura, Pirsabak ,Nizampur ,kaka sb,Cherat, and surrounding areas are very prone to flashfloods.
3.3.3. Earthquake:
Generally, earthquake proves to be the most devastating natural disaster, with a high mortality rate and widespread destruction (UN 2009). It is one of the most active and complicated themes for the Disaster Risk Management community. Pakistan is located in one of the most seismically active region on earth, with active Himalayan ranges in the north, Hindu Kush mountain ranges in the Northwest and Suleiman Mountain ranges in the South West. High seismic hazards in Pakistan and adjacent Indian and Afghanistan regions are due to northward movement of the Indian tectonic plate at a rate of 31 mm/year16, which is sub ducting beneath the Eurasian Continent. Earthquakes in Pakistan are often related with the Eastward trending regional thrust faults. Experts believe that the region is prone to more earthquakes in the future17. As per the Seismic Zoning Map of Pakistan, District Nowshera
16Bettinelli et al. 2006 17Durrani et al. 2006
18
lies in zone 2B with Peak Ground Acceleration of 0.16g to 0.24 g18. having no fault lines at all.
3.3.4. Water Borne Disease
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, common sources of water are canals, tanks and wells. This water is very often unsafe to drink, causing several waterborne diseases. Additionally, unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene practices are also responsible for the vast majority of diseases such as acute respiratory infection, cholera, malaria, typhoid, hepatitis A & E, polio, bacterial diarrhea, dysentery, scabies, goiter and tuberculosis.
In District Nowshera water samples were collected from different sources such as tube wells, dug wells and hand pumps. Most parameters were found to be much higher than what are considered permissible levels by the WHO. More than 60% of the samples were found to be

given geographic area. PGA is measured by instruments like accelerographs (1g=9.81 m/s2).
19
unfit for drinking. The results indicated water quality in Nowshera deteriorated due to the floods in 2010. The areas where water quality issues were severe included parts of Mohib Banda, Dheri Mian Ishaq, Tetaray, Khush Maqam, Jabba, Nowshera Kalan, AzakhelPayan, Bara Banda, Amankot, Hakeem Abad, and Dag Besood. 19
3.3.5. Soil Erosion:
Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. Soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water and wind or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.
Soil erosion can be a slow process that continues relatively unnoticed or can occur at an alarming rate, causing serious loss of topsoil. Soil compaction, low organic matter, loss of soil structure, poor internal drainage, sanitation and soil acidity problems are other serious soil degradation conditions that can accelerate the soil erosion process.20
In District Nowshera soil erosion is taking place in the banks of river Kabul and in the nullahs all around the district due to the encroachment the flow of the water is recorded to high and cause erosion in most of the areas.
3.3.6. Fire:
In Nowshera fires have been either in industries or in the aftermath of terrorist attacks. The
recent one was on June 5, 2011 when a terrorist attack killed 18 and injured more than 30 in
a Bakery in Cantt are followed by fire which took hours to extinguish. There is no massive
fire event has been reported so for but urban area of district Nowshera is prone to fire
hazard where accessibility of fire brigade vehicles may be an issue.
3.3.7. Terrorism
Pakistan is facing the problem of Terrorism since last few years “From 2001 to 2013, there were 13,721 incidents in Pakistan which is marginally less than Iraq. From 2001 to 2005, there were 523 terrorist incidents in Pakistan but from 2007 to November 2013, the total number of incidents has risen to 13,198.”
Similarly, the number of suicide bombings between 2001 and 2007 stood at 15 only, but from 2007 to November last year, suicide attacks jumped to 358 – the highest anywhere in the world.
According to data released by the US National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses for Terrorism (Start), Pakistan led the chart with 1,404 terrorist attacks in 2012, surpassing Iraq (1,271). Even Afghanistan was behind Pakistan at number three with 1,023 incidents.

More than one-third (33 per cent) of those attacks occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, out of 33% District Nowshera stands with (19.6%) .21
On 15 January 2007 there was a powerful blast in the Jalozai refugee camp which destroyed a mud-house, killing four people and injuring five others

3.6. Multi Hazard, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment
3.6.1. Methodology
The Methodology adopted for Multi Hazard and Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (MHVRA) in the DRM Planning of District Nowshera is as below:
I. Numerical modeling approaches have been applied in probabilistic hazard assessments II. Exposure, vulnerability and risk assessments were considered in the dimensions of
population, buildings, crops, transport and infrastructure. III. Questionnaires in Key Informant Interviews with all important stakeholders (Govt
Departments, Civil Society Organizations, Technical organizations) and Focus Group Discussions at the Individual and District level Consultations were used to collect the Primary data (The specimens are at Annexure- 2-A)
IV. By overlying the compost hazards layers with the composite (vulnerability) exposure layer a
map were generated in a GIS environment through geo-Spatial analysis in which the
vulnerability/exposure or fragility are characterized as low/moderate and high through
intersection overlay techniques, as shown in the figures below:

3.8. Earthquake Risk Assessment
The Earthquake Risk in Nowshera cannot be ignored as it lies in seismic zone 2b. There is no
proper historical record of earthquake damages in Nowshera prior to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-
Kashmir earthquake of Oct 8, 2005. During the earthquake there was recorded losses of around
Rs. 85.1 m due to structural damages in the Food warehouses in Nowshera23.
Thrust faults in Nowshera as shown in the figure above have the capacity to generate earthquakes. Though the areas in the southwestern parts where the thrust faults are along with a transform fault just near the union councils touching Kohat district boundaries are less populated areas, proper planning to make the district earthquake resilient is required.
• Nowshera district located in Seismic Zone 2B according to Building Code of Pakistan.

• The range of expected intensity in the zone 2B is between VI to VII • The average probability of damages of buildings in the zone from 8.16% to 27.95% of
the total buildings. • The Brick masonry building share approximately half of the total building stock of the
District. • In this zone bricks buildings have probability of damage ranges from about 7.07% to

The plan will facilitate Provincial, National government, UN agencies, NGOs/INGOs donors and relevant stakeholder in disaster preparedness, mitigation and response in district Nowshera. DDMU will lead the coordination mechanism and the whole operation during disasters.
5.2. District Disaster Management Unit (DDMU)
The DDMU is headed by the DC/Chairman appointed by the competent authorities. Main area of work of DDMU is emergency response, disaster risk management and early recovery in District. Other core functions include:
o Coordinate complete spectrum of Disaster Risk Management in the District (Pre, during and Post Disaster)
o Formulate District disaster risk management plan o Continuously monitor hazards, risks and vulnerable conditions within the District o Develop guidelines and standards operating procedures for District and local stakeholders

functions effectively o Coordinate emergency response in the event of a disaster, through the District Emergency
Operations Centre (DEOC)
5.3. Establishment of District Emergency Operation centre (DEOC)
The purpose of the establishment of Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) is to share information and coordinate with the emergency response team. DEOC normally established at headquarter and sub offices can be established at Tehsil level. The DEOC may be permanently activated with full staff at occurrence of disaster or may be established to meet temporary, short-term needs. The physical size, staffing, and equipping of a DEOC will depend on the size of disaster, resources available and anticipated incident management workload. EOCs may be organized and staffed in a variety of ways. EOC should include the following core functions:
o Coordination o Communications
44
o Resource dispatch and tracking; and o Information collection, analysis, and dissemination
DEOCs may also support Tehsil coordination and joint information activities as discussed below.
o On activation of EOC, communications and coordination must be established between the stakeholders working on ground and the DEOC;
o Field organizations must also establish communications with the activated local EOC, either directly or through their parent organizations;
o The efficient functioning of EOCs depends on the existence of mutual-aid agreements and joint communications protocols among participating agencies.
5.4. Activation of DEOC
When a large-scale event occur, it is important that the response be coordinated. This generally means activating the Emergency Operations Centre to assure central coordination. Alerting, shelter, evacuation, search and rescue, and resource mobilization are all the part of the response mode.
5.5. Concept of Operation
On the activation of the plan DDMU management will ask the Emergency Operation Center to become active. The DEOC will be established at either the DDMU office or other nominated site. The Chairman/DC, DDMU will be responsible for:
o Activation of the DEOC o Operation of the DEOC o Staffing the DEOC at the required level
5.6. Command and Control
Efficient command and control is an essential pre-requisite to the successful co-ordination of resources in emergency response operations. This concept of operation is based on three (3) phases:
o ALERT o ACTIVATION o STAND DOWN.
These phases may be summarized as follows:
Phase Action
Alert
DDMU management receives advice of imminent threat from an early warning center (Met Deptt)
DDMU management advises to Chairman
DDMU management informs relevant Primary and Support Agencies to be on alert
45
Management puts DEOC on Alert if warranted
Activation
DDMU management advises Chairman that assistance is required
DDMU management advises appropriate response mechanism in the region to respond accordingly
The response will be organized as per hazard threats
DDMU management advices Chairman if assistance is needed from Provincial Disaster Management Authority
Chairman will be in close coordination with PDMA for Provincial assistance
Stand Down
DDMU management advises the Chairman that assistance is no longer required
DDMU management advises Liaison Officers and arranges time and location for debriefing
Deployed staff will be debriefed and stood down on completion of final tasks
Final reports completed and distributed among various agencies in accordance with relevant Standard Operating Procedures
Evaluation conducted on how effective the departments worked and responded
Depending on the type of disaster and level, the phases and actions may overlap at times. It will be the discretion of the Chairman DDMU to activate the appropriate action as the conditions and resources may suggest.
5.7. Protracted Operations
If an operation continues over a period of days or carry on for an extended period of time is called protracted relief operation. During protracted operation the aim is to set up priorities and develop effective coordination, regular meetings with competent authorities and with relief organization.
During protracted operation duty timing for DDMU officer and support staff will be given priority as per the usual government procedure. DEOC will be operational 24 hours and they will coordinate timely information to the relevant stakeholders and govt authorities. The roster for such an operation will be as follow:
The EOC functions round the clock in 3 shifts of 8 hours each
o Each shift should be headed by a designated Officer o Key departments for staffing the EOC are DDMU (Relief Department), Irrigation, , Civil
Defence, Military, Information, C&W, and Meteorological Department Pakistan o The Flood Forecasting Division / Meteorology department would prepare flood bulletins for
media
46
o A telecommunication network will be established for receiving and disseminating regular updates of the disaster
o In case of rains / floods particularly during monsoon season, a Flood Warning Centre should establish at the Met Department
5.8. Receipt and Dissemination of Warnings
Federal Floods Commission and Meteorological department should inform PDMA/DDMU incase of any sign of a natural hazard (e.g. floods, severe drought, and winter storms). The information should be passed to the DDMU management in order to ensure activation of the appropriate response activity. The information will be verified and approved by the Chairman before sending it onwards.
All public warnings will be disseminated by the Flood Forecasting and Monitoring Division through PDMA/DDMU upon recommendation of the Chairman DDMU. Appropriate media channels will be used to distribute the warning to the public and concerned authorities for appropriate standby preparedness and response.
5.9. Warnings and Alerts

Chapter 6:
Disaster Risk Management Strategic priorities (2015-2020)
This chapter of the plan presents priority strategies for disaster risk management to be implemented during 2015-2020 in District Nowshera. The proposed priorities have been formulated after consultations with all stakeholders and have been aligned with the NDMP 2012-2022.
The strategic priorities described in the plan are25;
Priority Area 1: Established the institutional and legal system for disaster management
Priority Area 2: Prepare disaster management plans at various levels
Priority Area 3: Conduct multi-hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment
Priority Area 4: Establish multi-hazard early warning and evacuation systems
Priority Area 5: Promotion of training, education and awareness in relation to disaster
management
Priority Area 6: Strengthen awareness program on disaster risk reduction at local level
Priority Area 7: Infrastructure development for disaster risk reduction
Priority Area 8: Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development
Priority Area 9: Establish district emergency response system
Priority Area 10: In this chapter, different interventions have been proposed along with
indicative budget and potential partners for accomplishing the interventions
Priority Area 1: Established the institutional and legal system for disaster management
Key Issues
After promulgation of the National Disaster Management Act during 2010, although establishment of the disaster management related institutions have been dealt as high priority and as a result National and Provincial level institutions have been established and strengthened, still at district level, the institution need to be completely functionalize and dedicated staff to be recruited to work for the disaster risk reduction at the district level.
It has been observed that ad-hoc arrangement to appoint District Disaster Management Officers at DDMUs is normal practice in all districts. DDMOs normally have DM portfolio as an additional responsibilities besides of their own prime responsibilities.
Key target set for the priority area 1
DDMU is fully functionalized and their capacities have been built-up
Better coordination in place to strengthen the DRM system
Detail hazard and risk mapping available as planning tools
CSO are fully involved to support in enhancing the capacities in establishing the DRM system

Priority Area 2:
Prepare disaster management plans at various levels
Key Issues
According to the NDM Act 2010, each department will develop their own disaster management and response plan, although not serious attempt has been made so for by the concerned organization to develop a department disaster management plan, mainly due to lack of awareness, knowledge, resources and technical know-how.
Under this component, the preparedness and response interventions recommended range from district level initiatives to community level activities, tackling such issues as preparing for response and building the capacities of response service providers with shared resources from government and non-government agencies.

Priority Area 4:
Establish multi-hazard early warning and evacuation systems
Key Issues
The multi-hazard early warning consists of collection, consolidation, analysis and dissemination of impending hazard and risk. The early warning information is crucial in making informed and timely choices around evacuation and issuing public warnings and alerts which offers immense potential to contribute in mitigating disaster impact.
A comprehensive early warning system usually consists of four key elements: (1) prior knowledge of the risks, (2) presence of a monitoring and warning service, (3) multi-layer information dissemination system, and (4) capacity to take timely actions. If one part fails, the entire system can collapse, resulting in innumerable damages. If one of the elements fails, the whole system can be failed and losses will be encountered.
The prone area of Nowshera is still lacking in hazard monitoring and institutional arrangements. They are not equipped with modern technology of early warning system or any other updated system. However recent technological advancement in monitoring hazard, cheaper modes of communication and availability of mobile technology and FM radios in remote areas made it possible to monitor hazard and take appropriate action by evacuating public to safer areas.
Key target set for the priority area 4

Priority Area 5:
Promotion of Training, Education and Awareness in relation to DM
Key issues
Training, education and awareness are important non-structural component which can create significant changes in behavior of the disaster affected communities and among other stakeholders. Recent natural and human induced disasters highlight the importance of public awareness, and stress the need of enhancing capacities through awareness, training and education in disaster risk management. That is the reason that training, education and awareness dealt as separate component in HFA 2005-2015, NDMP 2012-2022 and National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy 2012.
Since 2005, many I/NGOs, UN organizations and CSOs are actively engaged in creating awareness through imparting trainings and education in disaster risk management to change the mindset of the people. However, still more need to be done to reach at each village and UCs that are prone to high risk and vulnerabilities. There is also need for inclusion of structural retrofitting part in these trainings.
Key target set for the priority area 5
Capacity enhanced of the university faculty to DRR, climate change and conflict management

Priority Area 8:
Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development
Key Issues
After the devastating earthquake disaster in 2005 and Floods of 2010 there has been increasing recognition of the need to mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development planning– that is, to consider and address risks emanating from natural and human induced hazards in the sectors and in the design of individual projects.
In District Nowshera, the need for mainstreaming can be felt mainly due to gradual upward rise in reported disaster losses during recent decade, primarily due to the increasing vulnerability to
natural and human induced hazard events of economic and social assets and the wellbeing and livelihoods of populations.
Key target set for the priority area 8
