FOREWORD
Vijayawada city is one of the multi hazard risk city in the Country and it is
prone to various natural disasters viz., floods, cyclone, landslides, earthquake,
health hazard, high temperatures and other extreme hydro-meteorological
hazards that periodically witnessing and impact the lives and livelihoods of city
dwellers. Since the city fall under core transit zone connecting North & South,
and with the newly attainment of status of State Capital for residual Andhra
Pradesh, there is emergent need to have plan of document with multi hazard
management in the hands of City administration.
Disaster Management includes all the activities that are carried out prior to the
advance notice of a catastrophe in order to facilitate the use of available
resources, relief and rehabilitation in the best possible fashion. The City
Disaster Management Plan aims to provide a practical roadmap of an
operationally useful emergency preparedness plan, Mitigation and Adaptation.
The present plan is accompanied by Emergency Preparedness Planning as well

What is a City Disaster Management Plan?
City Disaster Management Plan is more than a mere paper plan and root map.
Training and exercises, in particular, depend on a City Disaster Management
Plan. Training helps emergency response personnel to become familiar with their
responsibilities and to acquire the skills necessary to perform assigned tasks.
Exercising provides a means to validate plans, checklists, and response
procedures and to evaluate the skills of response personnel.
Second, the CDMP facilitates response and short-term recovery (which set the
stage for successful long-term recovery). Response actions are time-sensitive, with
little allowance for delay or "mid-course corrections and some post-disaster
mitigation issues such as rebuilding and placement of temporary housing facilities
also must be addressed quickly. Advance planning makes this easier.
Finally, a CDMP that is flexible enough for use in all emergenciesincluding

unforeseen events--provides a community with an emergency management
"bottom line." From there, a community can proceed confidently with long-term
mitigation efforts directed at specific hazards. Or, it can devote more resources to
risk-based preparedness measures (e.g., specialized training, equipment, and
planning). Whatever the initiative, an all-hazard DMP helps the community start
from a position of relative security.
Why City Should Have a City Disaster Management Plan
When disasters threaten or strike a jurisdiction, people expect elected leaders and
city officials to take immediate action to deal with the problem. The urban local
body is expected to marshal its resources, obtain and channelise the efforts of
voluntary organisations and private sector organisations in the city, and solicit
assistance from outside of the jurisdiction if necessary. The State of Andhra
Pradesh has its a Disaster Management Plan. This manual will support and guide
urban local bodies to overcome emergency and disasters situations..
Disaster Management Act, 2005
The disaster management act provides for activities such as prevention,

mitigation, preparedness, rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery. It also
provides for:
The creation of a policy, legal and institutional framework, backed by effective

statutory and financial support
The mainstreaming of multi-sectoral DM concerns into the developmental
process and mitigation measures through projects.
A continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing, coordinating and
implementing policies and plans in a holistic, community based participatory,
inclusive and sustainable manner

Disaster management and urban planning and management
Decentralization of disaster management plans is the need of the hour. Disaster

Management Plans need to be prepared at zone or ward wise by the urban local
bodies. Urban areas are the engines of economic growth .The losses due to
disasters in urban areas greatly affect the economy. Hence disaster management
plans are integral parts of urban management and governance. The need for
disaster management exclusively for the urban set up is emphasized by the
uniqueness and high magnitude of vulnerability to disasters. More than a quarter
of urban population in India lives in metropolises and mega cities.
In 2025 the urban component would be more than 50%.This trends in increase in
urban population also indicates the ramification of disasters on them. The
vulnerability is further magnified by weak socio economic structures in most of
the cities were 30 to 60% of the population lives in Slums and squatter
settlements. Urban local bodies need to play a major role in the disaster
preparedness planning. Major roles of the urban local bodies before and after a
disaster are;
9 Preparation and updation of preparedness plans

9 Participation and coordination in response activities and
9 Taking up activities such as damage assessment and relief distribution for
recovery from the incident.
A citys Disaster management Plan is a document that
9 Assigns responsibility to organizations and individuals for carrying out specific

actions at projected times and places in an emergency that exceeds the
capability or routine responsibility of any one agency, e.g., the engineering
department.
9 Sets forth lines of authority and organizational relationships, and shows how
all actions will be coordinated.
9 Describes how people and property will be protected in emergencies and

disasters.
9 Identifies personnel, equipment, facilities, supplies, and other resources

available--within the jurisdiction or by agreement with other jurisdictions--for
use during response and recovery operations.
9 Identifies steps to address mitigation concerns during response and recovery

activities.
As a public document, a disaster management plan also cites its legal basis,
states its objectives, and acknowledges assumptions.

Disaster Profile of India in brief;
India is vested with a unique climatic regime with two monsoon seasons, two
cyclone seasons (pre monsoon and post monsoon cyclones), hot weather season
with violent precipitation and a cold weather season. The human society and the
natural environment are vulnerable to a number of natural hazards.. Around 57%
of the land is vulnerable to earthquakes, 28% is vulnerable to droughts, 12% is
vulnerable to floods and 8% of the land is vulnerable to cyclones. Natural
disasters in India have lead to serious financial consequences which have
mounted up year after year. Approximately around one million houses are
damaged annually in the country compounded with loss of lives and economic
losses. Figuratively loss of life to natural disasters is 4350 per year and 30 million
affected on the whole to natural disasters per year.
Major Disasters of the country from 1991 to till date are;

Chapter 1: City Profile
Vijayawada is a historical city situated in Andhra Pradesh on the banks of

Krishna River with latitude 16 0311 N and longitude 80 0391 E. The climate is
tropical, with hot summers and moderate winters. The peak temperature reaches
47 C in May -June, while the winter temperature is 20-27 C. The average
humidity is 78% and the average annual rainfall is 103 cm. Vijayawada gets its
rainfall from both the southwest monsoon and north-east monsoon.
Vijayawada is located at the head of the Krishna delta, 70km from the sea,
bounded by the Indrakiladri Hills on the west and the Budameru River on the
north. The Northern, North-Western, and South-Western parts of the city are
covered by a low range of hills, while the Central, South-Western and North-
Western parts are covered by rich and fertile agriculture lands with three major
irrigation canals.
The topography of Vijayawada is flat, with a few small to medium sized hills. The
Krishna River runs through the city. The hills are part of the Eastern Ghats cut
through by the Krishna river. It has very low elevation compared to the average
elevation of the Ghats. This historical town has originated on the northern bank of
the river Krishna and, by 1855 AD the town was in the form of small settlement
on the eastern side of the Indrakiladri hills. It is also the commercial capital of the
state of Andhra Pradesh, the third largest city in the state and largest city in
6
Krishna District. The population growth has been rapidly registering almost three
fold increase in 3 decades ending 2011 with a population account of 10.48lakhs.
Vijayawada has a lot of scope for development and urban growth. The citys
population is expected to increase to 16.5 lakh by 2021. With ever increasing
population and unprecedented growth the citys landscape is undergoing
unwanted changes. The impervious nature imparted to the land surface because
of construction of concrete roads has resulted in increased runoff and inundation
of the low lying areas in the city even from the normal spell of rainfall. Urban Heat
Island is one of the upcoming climatological problems developing in the city.
With inhabiting population of more than one million Vijayawada is the largest
commercial center in the State of Andhra Pradesh and is well interconnected to
many other cities in the region. It is also an important railway junction connecting
north & south India. The airport which is located at a distance of 25 km is also
contributing to the citys growth. Vijayawada urban agglomeration consists of
Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC), Mangalagiri municipality and four
panchayats.
The city is divided into 59 political wards and is spread over an area of 61 sq kms.
There are 111 slum pockets with more than 3 lakh poor population inhabiting in
the city. Most of the slums are on the banks of the River Krishna and its canal
system. There are three industrial estates in the city which are Kondpalli, Kanur
and Autonagar.

city, near Patamata, covering 340 acres and Kondapalli located about 16 Kms
from the city .The total extent of the estate is 439 acres and comprises of 620
plots. The proposed developments in this estate are storage facilities for major oil
companies and the land acquisition for the same is in progress. Other areas where
industrial activities are concentrated, is on the periphery of the city, near Kanuru,
with large units like solvent plants and agro industries. The presence of a Super
Thermal Power Station has a bearing on the industrial development of the region.

Slums:
The slums in the city are in very poor condition lacking basic civic amenities like
proper roads, drainage, protected water supply, streetlights and sanitation
facilities. Studies show that the most common diseases prevalent in slums include
gastro-enteritis, Malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition, ringworm etc. There is 111
slums spreading across the city, which has a total population of 2,87,983 (NCPE,
2013). The distribution of slum location in the city is shown in Figure. The slums
of the city have a high population density with poor living conditions. As per the
NCPE (2013) report, out of 111 slums, 58 slums are on state government land, 22
on private land, 27 on local body land and 4 are on railway land. Further, the
slums in the city was segregated based on where they are located - 81 slums are
in residential area, 22 in commercial areas and 8 are in institutional areas. There
are 20 slums in the city, which are located in the flood risk area particularly in the
flood plains of Krishna River and Budameru River/drain.

Transportation:
Vijayawada is well connected with most parts of the state and the country through
roadways, railways and airways. It holds the distinction of being one of the major
railway junctions in the state and is connected by the two National Highways - NH
5 connecting Chennai and Kolkata and NH 9. It can be said that no other city in
Andhra Pradesh has such connectivity through the network of roads, rails and
waterways.
Planning Zones and Wards:

The city has been divided into 3 Circles mainly for administration, planning and
management purpose. Further, the city remains subdivided into 59 wards. An

Objective for preparing the City Disaster Management Plan:
The objective of this plan is to reduce overall disaster risks in city of Vijayawada
through appropriate planning so as to prevent loss of human lives and property.
The Plan will lay down strategies to enhance the capacity for better response
during disaster as well as take up appropriate actions for disaster prevention and
mitigation.
The City Disaster Management Plan of Vijayawada will have specific section on
city profile, hazard risk and vulnerability analysis, preparedness, response and
mitigation. The plan will also provide hazard specific action plans and lay down
standard operating procedures for all key departments. A comprehensive resource
inventory along with list of important telephone number and other contact details
will be provided as annexure in the plan which could be referred easily for better
response and preparedness planning.

Hazard Profile:
A] Cyclones:
Cyclonic storms are very common in Andhra Pradesh and in the last century
Andhra Pradesh has experienced around 100 depressions1, 62 cyclones and over
50 severe cyclonic storms. The city of Vijayawada falls in high cyclone risk zone.
Cyclones mostly occur in the months of May and November. 33 cyclonic
disturbances passed within 150 km off Vijayawada City between the period (1877-
2013). An average of 1 cyclone in every 5 year is likely to occur in the city. Two
major cyclones which affected the city in past are Cyclone of November (14-20)
1977and May (3-11) 1990.

severe damage of various infrastructures.
B] Urban Floods:
Flooding is also common in the city. There are two rivers which flow within the
city. The Krishna River which is flows through southern part of the city and
Budameru River on the north-west. Both these rivers contribute to the canal
network.
In the past four decades the city due to its growing population has infringed into
the flood plains. Flooding due to Krishna River is common and almost every
monsoon people living in the flood plains of Krishna River are affected. The data
on floods over last many years and information collected from Irrigation
Department indicates that floods are mainly caused by release of waters from
Nagarjuna Sagar (NS) Dam and rainfall near Vijayawada city has no contribution.
Since the main purpose of the NS dam is to provide irrigation, the dam authorities
try to fill the reservoirs during the monsoon to ensure water availability for the
farmers during summers. Therefore occurrence of severe rainfall (1 or 2 days of
extreme precipitation) due to cyclone or depression (or in occasional cases cloud
burst) during the latter half of the monsoon season in the lower and middle part of
Krishna basin leads sudden increase in the reservoir level forcing the dam
authorities to release water which sometime may exceed the carrying capacity of
the river (as happened in October 2009). This leads to flooding along downstream
areas.
19
In order to safe guard the people and their livelihood the Irrigation Department
has constructed flood banks. Length of the flood banks on both sides of the river
is around 230 Kilometers. Flood containing capacity of flood banks is around 11.3
Lakh Cusecs. These were constructed during 1883 - 1892 period and were raised
and strengthened from time to time as per the observed flood levels in the year
1903, 1914, 1916 and 1949.
After 1949 floods, the flood banks were also strengthened incorporating the top
level of flood of 0.91 M above the maximum flood level as observed then. The
maximum flood discharge observed during the year 1903 was 11.90 lakh cusecs.
After the construction of the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam in the upstream of the river,
during the year 1998 Krishna River received a maximum flood discharge of 9.32
lakh cusec and caused alarming situation throughout the flood banks below the
Prakasam Barrage. Subsequently the flood banks of Krishna River were restored
to original standards during the year 1999 to 2000. These restorations did not
include flood banks which are within and nearby Vijayawada city namely Krishna
Left Flood Bank (upstream of Prakasam Barrage) and Krishna Lanka Flood Bank
(downstream of Prakasam Barrage). Subsequently the maximum floods which
were received in the 2005 and 2009 were 7.4 lakh cusec and 11.1 lakh cusecs.
The flooding of Budameru River results due to release of excess water by the
reservoir at the Velagaleru regulator. The Budameru River is partly dry for most
part of the year. During monsoons the reservoir situated in the Velagaleru village
is filled to store water for summers. The problem starts at the tail end of the
monsoon, with the reservoir being almost full (but not to its full capacity) and the
occurrence of severe rainfall. Water is stored near Velagaleru regulator for use of
Vijayawada Thermal Power Station (VTPS) by construction of a bund. In case
Budameru catchment gets more than average rainfall in a short span of 24 48
hours, it leads to the reservoir at the Velagaleru regulator reach critical level
forcing the Irrigation Department to release water that results in flooding of parts
of Vijayawada city. Only few hours are at the disposal of authorities to issue of
warnings and evacuate people to safer places as water reaches the outskirts of the
city within 3 to 4 hours, as distance between the regulator and city is only around
25 Kilometers. The recorded history of floods due to Budameru River dates back to
late nineteenth century and the recent history include 1964, 1989, 1995, 1996,
1998 ,2005 and 2009.
According to the news reports during the cyclone in September 2005, the water
level at the Velagaleru regulator reached 8.5 m (danger level is 9 m). The gates of
regulator had to be opened to release the water which resulted in severe flooding
in the northern part of the city. Floods lasted for nearly 10 days causing lot of
hardships and misery to the people in the area. The flood prone areas in the city
of Vijayawada have been listed in the Table below.

The maximum flood discharge observed during the year 1903 is 11.90 lakh
cusecs. After the construction of the Nagarjuna Sagar dam in the upstream of the
Krishna River. During the year 1998 Krishna river received a maximum flood
discharge of 9.32 lakh cusec and caused alarming situation throughout the flood
banks below the Prakasam barrage. Subsequently the flood banks of Krishna river
were restored to original standards during the year 1999 to 2000. Later in 2009
observed discharge of 10.94 cuses where in much of area in the catchment was
flooded, again in 2011 and 2013 there was recorded dischase of 4.28 cuses and
5.5 cusecs respectively.
Reasons for Krishna River Floods:
9 The region receives maximum rainfall both by Southwest and Northeast

monsoons
9 City Vijayawada is located on the line which separates the delta and irrigated
land
21
9 Primary reason for flooding is the unauthorized settlements along the river
which had taken place due to the lack of planning and enforcement of code
9 Below flood bank is 6.4km which creates havoc in flood season which generally
start from July to December
9 High water release at the time of barrage with 4.12 lakh cuses to 10.90 lakh
cuses of water released in various years
9 People living in flood banks [Ramalingeswarnagar to Bhavanipuram] having
high dense population
9 Developmental activities like sluice connectivity in river creates backwater
9 Breaking of bunds for public private developmental activities [sluice, storm
water drains, approach roads etc]
9 Allotment of place at police colony near the bank
9 Trespassing on river bunds by people
9 Damage to the river bund with rodents, usage of man and currting for
approach roads
9 Breach occurrence and damages occurred to the flood bank with slips and
erosion
9 Negligence, helpless condition making people to stay at the houses even
passing the warning system by departments
9 Further situation is complicated by the false hope provided by the elected
representatives in their campaigns during the elections that they would
support the illegal settlements. In order to gain vote, some of them even
promise to protect these people by assuring that once they are elected they
would legalize their settlements and will also revisiting the existing
embankments. Many measures were taken in 1970s when the location of
embankments were changed to include people who are in the flood plains.
9 History provides people with false hope and at the same time encourages them
in moving towards more risk prone area in the catchment zone. With little or
no control over the encroachment on the flood banks, the quality and the
structural integrity of the embankment to withstand the pressure from the
flood water is a matter of significant concern
B] Budameru rivulet floods history:

The city also experiences the floods (mainly water logging) due to flows from
Budameru river. The primary reason for the flooding is the unauthorized
settlements along the river. The Budameru river originates in the hills
surrounding Mylavaram (north of city of Vijayawada). The river enters the city
from the north leading into the Budameru canal which runs parallel to Eluru
Canal. The contribution of water from Budameru is mostly seasonal and the
canal networks are used to discharge excess/flood waters.
The low lying areas along the river in the city experience the water logging
particularly during retreating monsoon (due to the depressions and cyclones),
when reservoirs are almost at the full capacity. The regulatory authorities have
22
to release the water considering the safety of the structure and people
downstream. The carrying capacity of Budameru canal has reduced to due to
silting of drains, developments and encroachments over the years. Settlement
along the river course, the vast land pockets on both the sides of the rivulet
(reduced size river) in New Rajarajeswari Peta, and the Rajeev Nagar area are
the prominent low lying areas prone to floods. The below given table depicts the
previous flooding due to Budamerus spate.

The heavy rains during 1989, 1990, 1991, 2005 and 2009 have caused
Budameru floods. Historically flow table shows that the water flow increases
along with the rainfall where as, when the rain fall was less , water release also
less but the settlements along the river course and the vast land pockets on
both the sides of the rivulet are seen the overflow of drains and inundation for
days together. It is due to indiscriminately blocked by developments and
encroachments. The resulting in thousands of people are facing difficulties in
terms of loss of property, livelihoods assets and health and some time costing
lives.
23
Reasons for Budameru floods:
9 Budameru river affects the entire North and Northwestern part of the city
due to limited carrying capacity of the Budameru river channel and lack of
sufficient mechanism to drain the excess water during the severe rain into
the Krishna River system
9 Warning mechanism at upstream of the Velagaleru village, where the last
regulator for river is currently in place. The distance between the Velagaleru
village and Vijayawada city is very small and does not create enough respite
time for the people to react
9 The Budameru Catchment get more than average rainfall continuous
downpour for 24 to 48 hours. The leads to the reservoir in the Velagaleru
village reach critical level forcing the Irrigation Department to release water
causing flood in Vijayawada City
9 Indiscriminate human settlements and other activities posing threat
inundation during rainy season
9 Non feasible houses on the embankment and bunds and occupation of
bunds
9 Silting of drain due to solid waste
9 Accumulation of Water hysinth plantation
9 Backwater due to conjunction in storm water
9 Raising the road level in flood path
9 Cutting the bund for developmental activities like bus shelters and
beautification etc
9 Less awareness about the situation and negligence about the problem by
local residents
9 Choking of storm rain water canals, sluice causes the budameru flood
severely and damage the lives and property

C] Earthquakes:
Even though the city is not in high risk zone the quality of construction and
location of the existing buildings may add to the vulnerability of the region.
Vijayawada city lies in Zone III which refers to moderate damage risk zone (MSK
VII). The earthquake zone for the state of Andhra Pradesh and current location
and quality of construction does place these areas under vulnerability (moderate
to severe damage) to seismic event. Since 1861 to till to-date there were more than
170 quake/tremor minor and medium incidents occurred but not caused much
impact on the city on the richter scale in the range of 3-6. An event of lesser
magnitude may cause extreme damages in these areas. There are approximately
25
8000 buildings (3-9 floors) located in Vijayawada. Among those, 17 are 7 floor
buildings and 570 are 6 floor buildings. Nearly 80 per cent of the apartments and
high-rise buildings (above three floors) in the city were susceptible to damage
when massive earthquake strikes. Any building that had a stilt or cellar and stilt
was unsafe, and 80 per cent of the high rise buildings and apartments had these
features
A Geological Survey of India (GSI) report on the seismicity of Vijayawada points

out that there are four major sources of quakes within a 150 km radius of
Vijayawada city. Geologists suggest that earthquake resistant structures must be
built in the agglomeration to tackle quakes. There had been about 159
earthquakes in the Vijayawada region till the 2009-end. The report also said that
quakes are likely to occur in four identified areas within a 150 km radius and
buildings should be carefully built in these regions. Safety norms are in most
cases thrown to the winds in our state but the GSI has said strict building safety
guidelines must be followed in high and low susceptibility regions. It has also
advised against high rise buildings in the regions vulnerable to earthquakes.
Vijayawada is also the only city falling under Seismicity Zone III, while all others
fall under Zone II. GSIs hazard maps shows the liquefaction potential of areas in
and around the Vijayawada agglomeration. Liquefaction is the loss of strength of
soil, when a quake strikes, leading to massive building crashes. Several areas to
the south of the Krishna River near Mangalgiri, and east towards Poranki have
been classified as hazardous. Almost the whole urban agglomeration has been
classified as dangerous for high rises.
Adherence to safety guidelines and implementing earthquake resistant designs

and materials, however, could push up prices. We have only suggested which
areas are susceptible to damage and loss of life in case of an earthquake, a
geologist from the GSI said, unwilling to be named. To be safe advanced
construction techniques with deeper foundations and resistant structures are
necessary. Obviously costs would go up with not much as anticipated.
The following are tremors/quake incidents that have been reported that lasted for
few seconds fortunately no casualty were reported except break of walls and fell
down of household items; incidents that observed as per various media herewith.

Seismic profile of Vijayawada City:
According to GSHAP [Global Seismic Hazard Assessment program] data, the state
of Andhra Pradesh falls in a region with low to moderate seismic hazard. As per
the 2002 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) map, this state also falls in Zones II &
III. Historically, parts of this state have experienced seismic activity in the M5.0-
6.0 range, approximate locations of selected towns and basic political state
boundaries are displayed on seismic mapping. Geological Survey of Indias
seismic micro-zonation study in the Vijayawada region, reporting that potential
earthquakes could result from four neo-tectonic faults located within a range of
150 km from Vijayawada.
Andhra Pradesh lies in the earthquake hazard Zone III and Zone II and is prone
to moderate to low damage risk. The liquefaction during an earthquake may be
a more significant risk, given the high groundwater table across this fertile region
in coastal district particularly in the Capital Region Development Area in Krishna
& Guntur dt. There are a number of high liquefaction vulnerable zones that will
need to be carefully avoided for huge constructions and structures in the City.
The Earthquake Engineering Research Centre of IIIT study found that there are
around 22 seismic sources (faults) in and around Vijayawada within a radius of
300 km and among them, the prominent active fault is the Gundlakamma fault.
Vijayawada city is located along the Krishna River and is covered by dominant
amounts of silty clay with some amount of silty sands and sandy silts.

The surface acceleration values have been very high in RR Gardens, Bundar Road,
KP Nagar, Nehru Nagar and Durgamalleswar Swamy Devasthama. These areas
have a water table depth of more than four meter and predominant soil consists of
sandy clays. In Autonagar, Labbipet, Satyanarayanapuram, Muthylampaudu,
Pakirgudem, Loyola College, Currency Nagar, RTC Colony, Governorpet,
Autonagar, Brahimin Street, Jakkamdpui and Hanumanpet, the accelerations are
0.1g to 0.2g. Peak ground accelerations Is very low below 0.1 g in Bhavanipuram,
Gollapudi, Kederaswarpet, PNT Colony, Kasturbibaipet, Gurunanka Nagar, Bank
Colony, Suryarapet, Patamatalanka, Prasadampadu, Ayodhyanagar,
Poornandapet, Chandramouli Colony, observed IIIT expert.
Experts of National Disaster Management Authority and National Geographical

Research Institute say Vijayawada is on par with Mumbai, Pune, Chennai,
Ahmedabad, Trivandrum, when it comes to earthquake safety as all of them fall
under Zone-3 with 0.16g seismic factor of Peak Ground Acceleration. Vijayawada
is safer than Delhi and Patna, which are more vulnerable as per Seismic Zone
Mapping of India. Experts revealed that worst case scenarios are rarest and if
building seismic codes are followed properly, Vijayawada will be safe to have high
rises.
Early warning or prediction of earthquake is not possible. However it is possible to

detection and to monitor the earthquakes and the aftershocks. Indian
Meteorological Department [IMD] is the nodal agency of Government of India
responsible for monitoring seismic activity in and around the country. IMD is
responsible for quickly estimating the earthquake source parameters immediately
on occurrence of an earthquake and to disseminate the information to all the user
agencies including the concerned State and Central Government agencies
responsible for carrying out relief and rehabilitation measures. IMD shall also
transmit earthquake information to public information channels, press, media etc.
and posts in its Website.
D] Landslides/Rockslides:
The landslides which are also known Prof Krishna Murthy, IIT Jodhpur
as hill-slides in Vijayawada are of
suggested that since Vijayawada city falls
serious concern. The topography of
Vijayawada is marked with small and in Zone3 richter scale as per revised
medium sized hillocks surrounded by Earthquake hazard zonation map of
plains. The region around these hills Geological Survey of India, the new

near the river Krishna are alluvial.
withstand structures and multistoried
The hills are mostly rocky and
therefore lack dense vegetation. The building to the standards of mitigation
population growth of the city has led scale of Zone IV range.
to the slow movement of people
towards the foot of the hills which
later led to expansion on the hill slopes. Even though much of these settlements
28
are unauthorized, the municipality attempts to cater to the basic needs of these
illegal settlements by providing services such as roads, water supply and
sanitation. With the growth of settlements over these hillocks followed by lack of
enforcement of regulation, political influence, accessibility to services such as
roads /water supply and lack of understanding of risk amongst the settlers there
is an increase in risk of landslides in the region.
The landslide risk is further accentuated with the rainfall and construction
activities. While a heavy rainfall lasting for 24 to 48 hours cause little impact on
the movement of boulders and rocks, continuous moderate to less severe rainfall
occurring over extended period of time (one week to 10 days) cause the water to
seep into the fractures within the rocks leading to landslides. Such incidences are
further aggravated by the construction activities which usually disturb the
internal stability of the land mass.

E ] Fire incidents :
Fire hazards are also common in Vijayawada. The climate of Vijayawada is

tropical, with hot summers and moderate winters. The peak temperature reaches
45 C (120 F) in May-June. High temperature and other causes such as
29
negligence of residents cause fire accidents of thatched houses and can spread to
affect large population in case huts are in clusters. Around 30 People suffered in 7
incidents in the year 2010 alone. Low income housing is characterized by informal
construction materials such as bricks, wood panels, and metallic roof (galvanized
iron sheets), with improvised infrastructure services, i.e. electricity, potable water,
sewage. There is a possibility of high surface temperatures for galvanized sheets
reaching up to 600 Celsius in summer. Such high temperatures remove moisture
from household materials, stocked firewood etc. and this dry material stokes the
fire caused by negligence, accidental or due to cooking fire. In some cases fires
cant be easily brought under control as fire tenders are unable to reach near the
site of fires due to narrow lanes. There is overall paucity of infrastructure such as
fire hydrants that can provide essential water at high pressure to extinguish fires
in initial stages.

F] Tsunami & Storm surge:
Vijayawada city is at a safe distance from coast and has little impact of the both
the surge due to cyclones or tsunami. The surge caused by Tsunami will travel
through the Krishna River backwards to the city. The sea coast is around 80 km
from the city hence even with a rise of water level up to 10 m will have little to no
impact to the city. The figures below illustrate the possible effect of the surge.
From the figure, we can infer that the extent of impact will be negligible.
Hazard Risk and Vulnerability Analysis:
A detailed Hazard Risk and Vulnerability Analysis had already been carried out for
Vijayawada city. As per the Risk Assessment study, it is estimated that the entire
city is prone to severe cyclonic storm (89 mph) at 50 year return period. The
cyclone wind hazard maps of 5 year return period and 100 return period are
30
provided below. (Fig1 & Fig 2). These maps show the areas affected by key return
period events.
The cyclonic wind hazard maps for different return periods have been further
overlaid over the ward boundaries and analyzed to estimate the average wind
speed and associated extent of affected areas in various wards of the city. While
considering 50 and 100 year return period, the entire city is prone to severe
cyclonic storms (> 89 kmph).
From the maps, it can be seen that for lower return periods (5 to 50 years) lower
wind speed extents are limited to areas over the western wards whereas the
relatively higher wind speeds cover a large extent of the eastern part of
Vijayawada.

However, in the case of 100- year return period, higher wind speeds cover a
large extent of the western part of the city and relatively lower wind speed
extent is limited to the eastern side of city. As per IMD guidelines, wind speed
associated with tropical cyclones of 50-61 kmph may likely cause minor
damage to loose and unsecured structures. Whereas, wind speeds associated
with cyclonic storm (62- 87 kmph) or storms of higher categories, one can
expect an extensive damage to thatched roofs and huts, minor damage to power
and communication lines due to uprooting of large avenue trees, etc. These
maps would be helpful to identify the high vulnerability zones for the
Vijayawada City. Assessment of cyclone risk and vulnerability at ward level
would be useful to evolve a sustainable local level development action plan for
preparedness and mitigation.

The landslide susceptibility map of Vijayawada is shown in Figure(3) below.The

landslide susceptibility index defines the probability of a location being
susceptible to landslide. The map obtained by weighted sum analysis is classified
into three susceptibility classes. Areas with the highest weight values of 45% or
more have been designated as falling under the high landslide susceptibility zone.
Similarly, areas with weight values between 36-45% have been designated as
falling under the medium landslide susceptibility zone and areas with weight
values <35% as falling under the low landslide susceptibility zone. In Vijayawada,
2% of total area falls under the high landslide susceptibility zone, 3% of the total
area falls in the medium landslide susceptibility zone and the remaining 95% area
falls under the low landslide susceptibility zone as shown in

Flood Hazard Maps have also been prepared for the city and ward wise flood
hazard statistics also provided. The flood hazard maps for 2 year return period
and 100 year return period have been developed and were further overlaid with
the ward boundaries. Analysis of flood hazard shows average flood and inundation
areas in various wards of the city. Ward numbers 1, 10, 41 and 42 are some of
the most flood prone wards in the city. Figure (4) as provided below shows the
prominent locations of localized flooding.

Also it is to be noted that the flooding in the Krishna River is generally caused
due to extreme rainfall within the Krishna basin in general and has little
correlation with the events in Vijayawada city. Similarly the flooding in Budameru
River is due to the extreme rainfall in the Budameru Catchment. Hence the Early
Warning System for the Vijayawada city should be designed keeping the regional
perspective in mind and the newly designed EWS should be coordinated with the
existing flood warning mechanism which is already in place. The potential forecast
outlook can be translated into early warning messages and initiate
preventive/preparedness actions. Similarly there is also a need to arrive at an
efficient network for hill slide warning.

With the exception of 1984, the persistent heat waves in Vijayawada are more
severe in the first decade of the 21st century and in recent years. The 1984 heat
wave in this location was succeeded after an unusually strong El-Nio event in
1982-83. More recently, a severe heat wave swept across the southern, central
and northern parts of India in May 2012. More than 1,100 people are said to have
succumbed to this scorcher. In Andhra Pradesh, the unusually intense and
prolonged heat claimed more than 1,000 lives. A repeat was observed in 2013
when the death toll due to heat wave that gripped Andhra Pradesh during May
2013 is reported to have touched 524. The highest maximum temperature of 47C
was recorded on 25th May 2013 at Tuni and Visakhapatnam when Kakinada and
Vijayawada recorded 46C.

Vulnerability Analysis:
The vulnerability of Vijayawada to disasters is high due to improper development
practices including construction of unsafe housing and infrastructure,
encroachments of the flood plains and increasing exposure of the population in
risk prone areas.
The people in low income group residing in flood plains and hill slopes usually opt
for non-engineered structures. These structures are of brick walls covered with tin
or thatched roofs and undergo modifications over the years depending upon their
increase in income and need for further expansion. Often along the flood plains
people occupy the land without permission from the Municipality.

Development Authority and construct their temporary shelters. Since the return
period of floods (river flowing bank to bank) ranges from three to five years, these
temporary shelters get converted into semi structured housing with brick walls
and tin roofs. Similar pattern of settlement development also observed along the
hill slopes. Some of the houses even though they consist of brick walls and
concrete roofs, are not safe mainly because of the quality of construction and
technology used.
42
Photograph 1: Picture of the development along the flood plains and the types of housing.
Apart from the initial construction, some of the major problems arise due to the
expansion of the houses. Having settled in the risk zones people over the years
develop mechanisms to live with the hazards and disastrous situations and
developed resilience to the dangers and started to accept such events as part of
their regular life. This combined with the need (in case one of their family
members gets married) and greed (to generate additional income through rent)
forces people to expand by encroaching into the flood banks which are
constructed for their protection.
In the year 2009, the flow in the Krishna River was around 11 lakh cusec. The
design capacity of the flood banks is around 12 lakh cusec. In spite of causing
severe damage to life and livelihood of the people who were living in the flood
plain, the embankment was not breached. The officials of Irrigation Department
fear that with more encroachment and little maintenance of the embankments,
similar event in the future may lead to its breach.
The Irrigation Department, which is responsible for the construction and

maintenance of these flood banks, do not have either the human resources to
monitor such encroachment or authority to bring down the structures which have
encroached into the flood banks. Further, the encroachers already being settled in
unauthorized areas and with nothing to lose do not adhere to the suggestions or
recommendations of the irrigation department.
The expansion in the hill slopes follow similar pattern as that in flood plains. In
addition, unlike the flood plains where risk is felt usually during the monsoon
(especially during its tail end), landslides/hillslides/rockslides are experienced
year around. The frequencies of these events do increase during the
monsoons/storm season. As mentioned earlier, the quality of building
construction is poor in hill localities. The overall quality of construction was found
to decrease as one proceeds uphill where new developments are taking place. This
is mainly due to lack of professional engagement in design and construction, lack
of monitoring and supervision of activities, improper use of material, followed by
poor maintenance.
Further, people who are used to living in plains tend to move towards the hills
without appreciating the possible risks. Construction of houses in these areas are
carried out by semi-skilled laborers who with their limited experience of working
43
in plains think similar technology will also work in the hills. Such practices have
added to the risk of landslides causing building slides where houses constructed
without proper plinth slide from their base and collapse onto the houses which
are located at the lower elevation. The building slides happen over time and the
causes range from internal seepage in the drainage, improper joints, non-technical
construction, poor quality of materials, and construction of buildings without
proper foundations.

Picture of the hillslide that has damaged maintenance and services of the buildings

quality of maintenance leads to seepages
which further weaken the structures.
Reasons for the landslides also include people reshaping the hills for the
expansion of their building to accommodate their expanding family and need for
more space. The reshaping takes place in without any understanding of the
physical structure of the terrain causing mass movements.

44
Photographs 5 (a&b): Pictures illustrating the damages due to landslide/rock fall.
Although the city lies in Zone III which indicates moderate seismic risk, due to the
present construction practices even an event of smaller intensity <5-6 on RS scale
can cause heavy damages to housing and other infrastructures. The settlements
in Vijayawada City are sprouting up in risk prone areas without much respect for
development control regulations/building byelaws as indicated in the planning
scheme. Also due to lack of efficient and effective transportation system within the
city, people prefer to settle in areas (which are close to their work place) in spite of
being aware that these areas are prone to flood risk. It is observed that the city
planning department and municipality have also allocated risk prone areas for
public housing (police housing along the Krishna River, low cost housing near
Budameru flood zone). Even though the reason for such planning are not known,
the development in these risk prone areas by the municipality has provided a false
sense of security to the people at large encouraging other development to take
place around these area.

municipality in the flood plains. The image on the left is the new construction on the

Flood plain.
Photographs 7 (a&b): Pictures illustrating the quality of services which are provided by the
municipality in the high risk zones. The services include roads, water supply, sanitation,
electricity, etc. Both these areas have experienced landslides and damages in the recent
past.
There is also a growth of other physical infrastructural facilities in the city due to
increasing population. The Municipality is currently providing roads, water supply
and sanitation to many areas within the city including the areas where
unauthorized or illegal construction/development has taken place. The roads in
Vijayawada are mostly narrow and the city is currently planning to implement
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit). Due to narrow width of the carriage way the city is prone
to traffic jams and accidents. The Municipality has taken up the task to provide
accessible roads to the settlements which are in the flood plain and hill slopes.
These roads are made of concrete and are wide enough to accommodate two
wheels but not four wheelers. Due to pressure from public and political forces, the
Municipality is forced to provide basic services including roads, water supply and
sanitation to the unauthorized settlements in the hill slopes and flood plains
thereby indirectly encouraging their activities. Even though sanitation is provided
to majority of the household, many of the existing drainage are not underground
(more than 50%). Further much of citys sanitation is discharged into the canals
and the rivers without proper treatments causing major health risks.

Hillslides 1,25,890 6.35
Total 4,99,370 43.73
Some of the key issues which require attention are as follows:
a) There is an existing warning system for reaching out to the last mile and
it could be further improved for better response and preparedness.
b) Existing Communication system not robust enough to withstand severe
disasters: Communication links between various authorities are not robust
enough to withstand severe disaster conditions (severe cyclone or dam breach,
long power outages etc.) All organisations responsible for disaster response
depend upon VHF wireless radios and cell phone network for
intercommunications. Information regarding release of water from Velagaleru
regulator is sent via a single cell phone available with person in-charge.
Communication links with NS dam and Velagaleru regulators are critical but
dont have required level of redundancy for near 100% reliability.
c) Existing Mechanism for disaster monitoring, prediction and response is
weak and needs to be strengthened:
State Government as well as VMC depend totally upon sensor network of IMD
and CWC to monitor weather parameters and flood water levels. The quality
and reliability of predictions regarding rain fall issued by IMD and as well as
floods issued by CWC is not up to the mark. Also the facilities set-up by both
these departments are not adequate for generating alerts in case of abnormal
situations (dam burst, cloud burst etc.) which may cause sudden floods. This
can be seen from prediction reports generated by these agencies prior to
unprecedented floods in Krishna River during October 2009. Also the Krishna
River flooding generally takes place due to extreme rainfall within the Krishna
basin in general and has little correlation with the events in Vijayawada city.
Similarly the floods in the Budameru River are caused due to the extreme
rainfall in the Budameru Catchment. Budameru is a short river and hence
more than average rain fall caused by cyclonic weather in Bay of Bengal can
result in flash floods. Even in the normal situations flood waters from
Velagaleru regulator reach city limits within few hours. Hence there is a need
to strengthen the existing flood monitoring mechanism near these catchment
areas along with the control room of the Irrigation Department. Particularly in
47
case of Budameru River, there is a need to set up a control room at upstream
of Velagaleru reservoir to monitor the precipitation. Along with the EWS the
Vijayawada Municipal Corporation should also invest in setting up of marking
systems of risk prone areas. This will provide awareness to the new settlers
and also help in providing people a relative measure of future risk.
d) There is a need to set up a monitoring mechanism (sensors) for hill slides
/landslides:
Existing practice is to issue warnings in case of incessant or heavy rains for

few days at a stretch. However such warnings are not accurate to alert the
people residing at the hills about land slides/mudslides and are often not
taken seriously by vulnerable population.
e) There is a need to upgrade the existing early warning system:
Suitable sensor network with remote monitoring facility to record daily rainfall
in catchment area of the river and water level monitors at the regulator and
along the river path. There is also a need to set up a mechanism to predict and
monitor hillslides. Although it has been highlighted during the household
survey that most of the people in the city are satisfied with the existing EWS
particularly with the mechanism to reach out to the vulnerable population, this
mechanism could be further upgraded for 24*7 readiness. A well-equipped
Emergency Operation Center should be set up at Vijayawada Municipal
Corporation to act as a disaster response centre ,with facilities to receive calls
from public and also send sms based alerts to the first responders ((fire
brigade, Police etc.) as well as follow-up messages on disaster situations to
higher authorities and line departments. Although the existing Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP) and methods (even though not up to expected
standards), have worked in majority of disaster situations, including handling
of worst floods in October 2009, the predictions regarding rainfall made by
Indian Metrological Department (IMD) and probable quantity of flood waters
made by Central Water Commission (CWC) are not reliable .
Flood level monitoring facilities set-up by Central Water Commission (CWC) as
well as those installed by state irrigation department is also inadequate.
Andhra Pradesh Remote Sensing Application Centre (APSRAC) has set-up few
monitoring facilities however these are also inadequate to make reliable flood
forecasts .Organisations responsible for DM activities mostly communicate with
each other using public telecom networks. However adequate and reliable
back-up system is not in place. This is not a good practice as public telecom
links can fail during severe disasters and communication links may be
disrupted. Number of wireless radio sets for back-up communication links
available for emergency communications is inadequate.
f) Improvement in quality of flood forecasting required:
There is a need to improve the quality of flood forecasting with use of automatic
rain gauges in catchment areas and water level indicators. Such devices should
be installed at sufficiently large locations with remote monitoring facility so
that the sensor data is centrally archived and analysed. Decision Support
Systems (DSS) are extremely important in effective disaster management. A
system developed by Andhra Pradesh Remote Sensing Application Centre
48
(APSRAC) is in place and has proved useful during unprecedented floods in
October 2009. The DSS developed by scientists of National Remote Sensing
Authority (NRSA) may also be considered for improvements in the existing
system. There is no system in place to monitor / predict landslides. There is
also a need to set up system for monitoring of landslides and generating local
warning messages.
Disaster Preparedness and Response:

As a preparedness measure, in 2011 a City Disaster Management Steering
Committee (CDMC) has been set up to strengthen the mechanism for disaster
preparedness and response at the city level. The structure of the Committee is as
follows:

Sr. no Officer& Designation Department Position
1 Commissioner, Vijayawada Municipal Chairman and convener

Corporation
2 Police Commissioner, Vijayawada Police Vice Chairman
3 Joint Collector, Krishna Revenue Secretary

The CDMC is headed by the Municipal Commissioner, Vijayawada city. At the city
level, the office of the Joint Collector (Krishna District), Vijayawada Municipal
Corporation and the City Engineering Department are the nodal agencies for
coordinating disaster preparedness and response.
Disaster Management committees have also been set up at district, mandal and
village level and are functional as well. These committees are mainly responsible
for strengthening cyclone preparedness and coordinating cyclone relief. District
collector acts as ex-officio chairman of the district level cyclone relief
&disaster management committee. During any disaster in the Krishna district
the disaster management system at the district level is geared up for disaster
response. The District Collector of Krishna District with his office at
Machalipattanam is the state government authority for overall control as well as to
ensure coordination between various departments and organisations that are
responsible for disaster response.
Organisations responsible for disaster response
The Municipal Corporation along with office of Joint Collector, Krishna District
will be responsible for delivering the various emergency support functions like
early warning communication, evacuation, relief distribution, shelter
management, health services, water and sanitation, transportation and
maintaining law and order. The various departments who would be responsible for
delivering Emergency Support functions are Police, Home guards, Engineering
department, irrigation department, PWD, PHE, Fire Force, Forest Department and
Health Department.
Existing / proposed responsibilities and procedures include:
1. Municipal EOC (MEOC) / Engineering department shall be responsible for
collection, assimilation and dissemination of information in terms of issuing
alerts when a disaster is likely to occur or is imminent, or when it has actually
taken place.
2. Once information is received of an imminent disaster or a disaster having
occurred, MEOC/Engineering department will generate alert
messages/disaster warnings to the concerned authorities as per their Standard
Operating Procedure.
3. Upon receipt of weather warnings or reports of actual disasters,
MEOC/Engineering department will activate call up actions. Each disaster
situation will have different parameters in terms of severity, early warning and
time available for response. Therefore, different stages for different events are
standardized for issuance of Alert messages.
4. The dissemination of warning and other messages/information will be made
through different mediums of communications. Available technology and
conventional methods will be used for dissemination of information up to the
user levels.
50
5. Municipal Corporation shall periodically review the radio network system
particularly of coastal areas for effective dissemination of warnings for cyclone
and floods.
6. Municipal Corporation shall review the capacity of the Radio Station
Transmitter and take steps in association with the concerned authorities to
enhance its capacity to cover all vulnerable population.
7. Municipal Corporation shall also ensure that radio network system in the
Municipalities has back up power supply for radio transmitters through
generator sets for uninterrupted operations
Functioning of Control Room:
The Control Room of the Police Department functions round the clock. Additional
control rooms will be set up as and when required basis by the District
Administration at District and Taluka levels for coordination, dissemination of
information and implementation of steps necessary for effective disaster response.
A central control room to act as EOC is planned at VMC headquarters. It will be
located at the New Conference Hall -GulzarsSamalochana. The EOC will
function round the clock (24X7). It is decided that the Additional Commissioner
(Establishment) will be responsible for co-ordination between various agencies
responsible for disaster management and the Additional Commissioner (Projects)
will be responsible for running the EOC round the clock with the help of other
officer/s from various departments of VMC. The EOC will be manned by officers
from Municipal Commissioners office, and representatives from Engineering and
District Supplies Officer.
Some equipments essential for rescue operation are procured under GOI UNDP
Urban Earthquake Vulnerability Reduction Project(UEVRP) and stored at suitable
locations near vulnerable sites selected by Municipal Corporation.. There are
provisions for formation of mobile teams at Circle level in the city area consisting
of Executive Engineers and these teams are responsible for following activities as
mentioned below:
1. Breaches in bunds
2. Closing and opening of vents
3. Road cuttings
4. Anticipation of problems
5. Contact with contractors
Agencies responsible for issuing alert messages:
Nodal central government agencies responsible to issues alerts to central and
state government departments are as follows:

Mechanism for issuing warnings:

Vijayawada Municipal Corporation and the City Engineering Department are
mainly responsible for issuing disaster alerts and early warnings when a disaster
is likely to strike in the city area. Disaster warning messages flow in cases of
disasters such as cyclones, floods and Tsunami from Indian Meteorological
Department (IMD) , Central Water Commission (CWC), Indian National Centre for
Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) respectively to national and state EOC as
well as to the office of Krishna district collector and
Vijayawada joint commissioner as shown in the schematic diagram below.(Fig 5

)Daily Flood Bulletins are received from the Central Water Commission during
South East Monsoon season. As mentioned earlier the major cause of flooding in
Krishna District and Vijayawada city is release of excess water from Nagarjuna
Sagar Dam and Velagaleru Regulator. The State Irrigation Department is
responsible for controlled release of water from Nagarjuna Sagar Dam and
Prakasam Barrage in case of Krishna River and Velagaleru Regulator in case of
Budameru River. The Irrigation Department also issues various alerts to state
government authorities, who in turn inform Municipal administration to respond.
With increase in water level at Nagarujana Sagar Dam and Velagaleru Regulator,
the flood control rooms located near these dams, send alert to the Irrigation
Departments control room. From Irrigation Departments Control Room early
warning messages are disseminated to the Joint Collectors office in Vijayawada
City as well as to Vijayawada Municipal Corporation.

WARNINGS AND CONTROL MESSAGE S FLOW BETWEEN VARIOUS
GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS
Mechanism of issuing warnings during Krishna Floods:
a. The First warning is issued as and when the flow over the crest of Prakasam
barrage is 12 feet and the corresponding discharge is 3.97 lakh cusecs. The
message is sent to officers concerned and areas likely to be flooded.
b. The Second warning is issued as and when the flow over the crest of barrage is
15 feet and the corresponding discharge allowed is 5.69 lakh cusecs. The flood
at 15 Feet and above will be treated as danger level and flood duty officers both
of irrigation department and Revenue department should attend to the Flood
duties in their respective Flood stations.
c. The third warning is issued as and when the flow over the crest of barrage is
17 feet and the corresponding discharge allowed is around 7.82 lakh cusecs
Mechanism of issuing warnings during Budameru floods:
a. Warning messages to vulnerable public are issued on the basis of information
received from irrigation department regarding release of water from Velagaleru
regulator.
b. Likely inundated areas are decided on the basis of past experience and action
to evacuate people to safe shelters and arrangements for essential supplies
(food, drinking water etc.) is initiated.
53
Wireless radio, fax, telephones, public media such as newspapers, radio networks
(AIR and FM radio), TV channels and Cable TV networks are extensively used for
disseminating warnings to common public. The corporation further disseminates
the warnings to the common public through circle offices. Further warning
dissemination in highly vulnerable areas is done by using loud speakers (horns) or
handheld public address systems using electronic amplifiers and SMS.
Rain Gauge stations and Sirens:

Rain gauge stations and sirens are located at important places within the city
which help in warning dissemination. A rain gauge is a type of instrument used
by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of
liquid precipitation over a set period of time. Most rain gauges generally measure
the precipitation in millimeters equivalent to liters per square meter. The level of
rainfall is sometimes reported as inches or centimeters. Rain gauge amounts are
read either manually or by automatic weather station (AWS). The frequency of
readings will depend on the requirements of the collection agency.

Public telecom infrastructure:

Vijayawada city has a good coverage and availability of land line telephone and

Key Actions to be taken up/Coordinated by the Office of the
Municipal Commissioner and The Office of Joint Collector (city)
Krishna District will be as follows:
Rapid assessment of the situation:
After the disaster incidence is reported, the Municipal Commissioner/ Chief

Officer will initiate the rapid situation assessment which is typically undertaken
by officials of the Engineering Department. Rapid situation assessment will help
municipal commissioner to quickly grasp the situation in terms of impact and to
be able to plan his response. The assessors will prepare a brief of the assessment
and report to the municipal commissioner to initiate the response activities. The
situation assessment shall be more effective if reported within half an hour of
receiving the information on the occurrence of the disaster incident. The report
shall contain the time, activity, number of people affected and the location of the
incident with a rough map of the affected area.
Evacuation:
Evacuation of affected people to the temporary shelter from the disaster incident
site will be the first step towards disaster response when the magnitude of the
incident is large. Temporary shelters will be selected or erected in open ground
during earthquakes, in high elevation areas during flood and in strong shelters
during cyclones. It is recommended that evacuation of people from the affected
area is done with fire department in the lead with support of urban development
department. Vehicles for evacuation will be mobilized.List of owners of the
temporary shelters will be maintained and accordingly contacted for fixing. During
evacuation smooth flow of traffic in the evacuation routes need to be enabled by
traffic police.
A message will be drafted to the public regarding evacuation. The message will be
then disseminated through uninterrupted communication systems of the city like
mobile SMS, radio, local TV channels, mobile public address system etc. The most
important thing to include in an evacuation warning message is to tell people
exactly what they should do. Messages should explain what evacuation means,
who should evacuate when and where people should go, and how they should get
there. In case Municipal Corporation is arranging for evacuation then there should
be details of the arrangements provided. Very specific and simple language should
be used.
An evacuation report will also be maintained which will contain information on
the number of people evacuated from each street of the assessed area and the
respective temporary shelters in which they are housed. It is also necessary to
maintain the number of people housed in each of the temporary shelters of the
ward. The number and type of vehicles deployed and rescue personnel in the
evacuation for the day will also be reported.
60
Search and Rescue:
Based on the rapid assessment report, search and rescue operations are initiated
in the worst affected areas of the notified site. Search and rescue operations will
be carried out by officials from Police, Fire and Engineering Departments along
with Civil Defence, Home Guards and National Disaster Response Force if
required. The search and rescue teams will be allocated to various locations by the
municipal commissioner/deputy municipal commissioner. The rescue teams will
be backed up with first aid teams comprising of staff from Health Department.
List of volunteers and swimmers (in case of floods and cyclones) as well as of
various emergency equipments like bull dozers, tree cutters etc will be maintained
in the control room of the Municipal Corporation.
Distribution of relief materials and management of temporary shelter:
Distribution of relief materials to the affected people at the temporary shelters and
overall management of the temporary shelters is a major task during the response
phase. Department of Food Supply and Drinking Water, Public Health Engineering
and Health Department will play an active role in it.
The affected people housed in the temporary shelters would be provided with
necessary materials such as food, water, clothing and bedding. The daily activities
in the shelter such as distribution of relief material, maintaining hygiene,
maintaining peace and decorum, medical and first aid activities should be
managed and monitored. If cash doles need to be provided to the evacuated
people, then appropriate amount (as per Govt. of AP norms) per household per day
should be provided by the finance department to the department in-charge of cash
dole distribution.
Debris Clearance, restoration of basic services and repair of damages to
roads and other infrastructure to ensure fast relief and response:One of the
key activities during response phase is clearing the debris and repairing the roads
and other basic infrastructure (water supply system, storm water drainage and
sewage, light and power supply, telecommunication links etc) so as to bring back
life to normalcy as well as to ensure fast distribution of relief and implementation
of various other response measures. All the concerned departments in the city
area (PWD/Engineering, Health, Public Health Engineering, Food and Civil Supply
etc.)will have important role to play in this regard.
Compensation and relief packages:
The compensation will be given to individuals and private businesses based on the
estimation of damage caused and will be provided as per the norms of the Govt. of
Andhra Pradesh. Monetary relief packages will be allocated through the finance
department and distributed by the concerned department.

Chapter 4: Mitigation Plans
Broadly mitigation measures can be divided into two parts i.e. structural and non-
structural. Structural measures include construction, retrofitting/ strengthening
of buildings, lifelines and infrastructures like flood embankments to withstand
forces of natural hazards. Non-structural measures emphasis on risk sensitive
land-use planning and enforcement of building regulations and codes,
strengthening of early warning systems, awareness generation programmes and
capacity building of various stakeholders. The mitigation measures to be
implemented in the city of Vijayawada over
1) Strengthening of Early Warning System (EWS) including last mile
connectivity: the following components would address EWS in City
Setting up of a well-equipped Emergency Operation Centre for overall

coordination at VMC.
Setting up of VSAT based Emergency Communication Network.
Strengthening of Mechanism for dissemination of early warnings particularly to
the last mile through a SMS based warning system
Setting up of Weather monitoring and landslide sensor network.
Strengthening of Public Address System.
Early Warning System at VMC:
GOI-UNDP Urban Risk Reduction project in partnership with Central and State
Government has taken up Early Warning System is one of the key interventions
for Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation in the City. In the process, has
conducted study in Vijayawada City with the aim to identify the key hazards that
are of immediate concern and the areas of vulnerability where the Early Warning
System may be needed. The study method includes field visits, data collection,
consultations with line departments and references of multiple sources of National
and International Organizations. It is found in sample population that 38%
population satisfied with the performance of existing EWS in emergency and 62%
are suggested on improvement in the system of Early Waning to issue timely
warning to minimize the impact on lives and livelihoods in the city in the wake of
any unprecedented disasters. The key recommendations of study for improvement
in early warning (EW) systems play a critical role in saving lives and critical
livelihood assets. The tasks in reaching to the communities with useful and
actionable messages seem to be a challenge.
In the implementation of UNDP Climate Risk Management Project through

Disaster Preparedness and Management in Vijayawada City, Strengthening Early
Warning System is one of the core intervention, the effective EWS play a critical
role in saving lives and critical livelihood assets in the City. The series of
consultation meetings with key stakeholders have been conducted in 2013 & 2014
by sharing EWS study suggestions, recommendations and proposed action to
68
implement plans by leveraging resources from the Departments [Irrigation,
Revenue, Fire, Transport & VMC].
In implementation of Urban Risk Reduction under Disaster Management in the

City during last phase of GoI-UNDP project, it is found the gaps in EWS system
revealed in a study conducted in the City under Disaster Preparedness &
Management by expert team. The key recommendations for improvement in early
warning (EW) system, the tasks in reaching to the communities with useful and
actionable messages seem to be a challenge. In a post-cyclone studies on Early
Warning, India report found that the early warning given are often general
information on the magnitude of the hazard, without correlating it to vulnerability
of particular location, and the messages are non-actionable nor effective. So, often
what is being lost is translating the information relating to hazard, into a message
that meets vulnerabilities and exposure to the hazard, with a meaningful link to
preparedness mechanisms in place, then EW becomes meaningful and actionable.
Indias disaster preparedness teams snapped into action, pre-positioning
emergency response teams and supplies, and evacuating nearly a million people,
thus saving countless lives.
VMC has been conducted series of awareness campaigns and trainings to

primary and secondary stakeholders on Disaster Preparedness and Management
focusing Disasters understanding disasters, types of disasters, First aid,
Evacuation, School safety program and Preparedness and Management. CBDRM
also facilitated mock drills, technical inputs to engineers and preparation of action
plans for face emergency situations. Now VMC has equipped with City Disaster
Management Plan, list of hazard zoning, profile of vulnerable population,
Infrastructure and expert team including trained volunteers etc. It is proved that
EWS play key role in mitigation of disasters, time has come to strengthen existing
EWS system at Emergency Operating Centre at VMC, as recommended by Experts
to overcome not only natural disaster but frequency man-made haphazard.
System Established at EOC VMC;
With recommendation by an expert team on City Early Warning System; the

following initiatives established at VMC
SMS based Early Warning System - Established at EOC

Voice broadcasting using telephone/cell phone link - 103
Portal based Disaster Management Information
Software package to send bulk SMS to key stakeholders: customized software can
be utilized that has essential feature to record information regarding any incident
such as:
69
Type of incident [cyclone, flood, fire and landslides etc]
Place of incident [likely wards/divisions/areas]
Details of person who has to reported the incident [key line officer]
The information will provide dropdown feature listing all contacts names,
phone numbers, email IDs responsible local agencies and authorities as per laid
down procedure, for the purpose of disseminating the information to initiative
suitable response. The software will enable persons manning control room to send
SMS alert to the desired contact or user group. The emergency management
system for disaster warning messages can use the system described above by cell
phone numbers of persons responsible for disaster dissemination of warnings to
local people in respective location. The text message can be created in the system
and this can be sent via Short Messaging System [SMS] facility available in cell
phone networks.
2) Improvement in quality of flood forecasting : There is a need to improve the

quality of flood forecasting with use of automatic rain gauges in catchment
areas and water level indicators. Such devices should be installed at
sufficiently large locations with remote monitoring facility so that the sensor
data is centrally archived and analysed. Decision Support Systems (DSS) are
extremely important in effective disaster management. A system developed by
Andhra Pradesh Remote Sensing Application Centre (APSRAC) is in place and
has proved useful during unprecedented floods in October 2009. The DSS
developed by scientists of National Remote Sensing Authority (NRSA) may also
be considered for improvements in the existing system. There is no system in
place to monitor / predict landslides. There is also a need to set up system for
monitoring of landslides and generating local warning messages.
3) Promoting Disaster Insurance: Insurance is a mechanism for spreading the
cost of losses over time that are known to impact the community. Introduction
of disaster linked insurance will be actively pursued and insurance cover will
be made available not just for life but also for household goods, livestock,
structures and crops. Municipal Corporation of Vijayawada may provide
incentives to the insurers who have followed building codes and other
prescribed guidelines prevailing in the area while constructing their houses.
Insurance companies should also be advised to appoint their own experts and
supervisors to check and determine insurance amount.
4) Assessment of Construction Typology and identification of Vulnerable
Buildings:
Emphasis would be laid on ensuring development of a strong built

environment. This would call for a systematic study to assess the structural
safety of the various building types including important buildings like
government offices, schools, hospitals and other public buildings. Based on the
study buildings should be categorized and a detailed
Retrofitting/Strengthening/Repairing Plan should be developed. This exercise
would require time and hence this measure is considered to be a long term
mitigation measure.
70
5) Bringing in necessary amendments in the Building Regulations and Town
and Country Planning Act as well as ensure its implementation for
structural safety against natural hazards-
This measure will include reviewing the building regulation in practice in

Vijayawada and bringing in necessary changes to ensure that future
construction that take place in the city is protected from the forces of natural
hazards. Amendments in the Town and Country Planning Act and its
implementation will help to ensure that no development takes place in the risk
prone areas.
6) Training and Capacity Building:
A Training and Capacity Building Plan for various functionaries on disaster

risk reduction will be prepared. Under the plan the officials of Municipal
Corporation of Vijayawada as well as district administration will be trained.
The training will be imparted on disaster response, mitigation and risk
reduction planning.
Apart from government functionaries training will be imparted to school
children, teachers and community volunteers on disaster preparedness.
Municipal Corporation will develop a plan for school safety training and
volunteers training which will be implemented with support from local NGOs,
academic institutions and other external agencies having expertise.
7) Making schools and hospitals safe from disasters: The schools and hospitals in
the Vijayawada city
8) Efforts will be made to strengthen partnership among various stakeholders like
NGOs, academic institutions, training institutions and others and define their
roles and responsibilities for overall disaster risk reduction in Vijayawada city.
9) Officers training on Incident Response System;
Vijayawada Municipal Corporation in consultation with State department of

Disaster Management Revenue Department as well as Urban Development
Department will develop a mitigation plan for implementation which will list out
the key activities along with the budget as required. The mitigation plan would be
a long term plan and may not be necessarily an annual plan. However the plan
would be supported for implementation through annual allocation of budgets both
by the Municipal Corporation as well as the State Government.
Disaster Specific Mitigation Measures;
Structural Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures are very important phase of disaster management. They will
help to reduce the loss and increase the capacity of people in managing the
disasters

I] Krishna Flood
The flood due to the Krishna River is generally due to extreme rainfall
within the Krishna basin(other states ) in general and has little correlation with
the events in Vijayawada city. Therefore in order to achieve sufficient respite time
any proposed warning mechanism should be set up at the upstream of Nagarjuna
Sagar Dam.
Since there is already a warning mechanism prepared by irrigation

department, CWC and Andhra Pradesh disaster management authority which
currently exist, the EWS should be coordinated with the existing flood warning
mechanism which is already in place. The potential forecast outlook can be
translated into early warning messages and initiate preventive / preparedness
actions.

* indicates temporary activities
II] Budameru flood
Floods strikes with the Budameru River are due to the extreme rainfall in the
Budameru Catchment. The nearest control of the river is from Velagaleru
Village. Since the time required for the flood waters to reach Vijayawada City
from Velagaleru Village is very low, another regulator may be established at
the upstream from which it is being originating(Khammam).
An increase in the draining capacity of the BDC will help in flood reduction.
Further, there is also little warning mechanism upstream of the Velagaleru
village where the last regulator for river is currently in place.
73
Along with this the local raingauge and water measuring instruments should
be set up at upstream of Velagaleru reservoir to monitor the precipitation, at the
reservoir to monitor the level of water and at north of Vijayawada city to
communicate the information to the people. Apart from this, below mentioned
measures will reduce the problem

III]Land slides
It is very difficult to set up any warning system for the landslides, because
they occur due to multiple reasons including continued precipitation within
Vijayawada city, poor quality of construction, seepages from water and
sanitation services, disturbance caused by the construction activity and last but
not the least unplanned hill terrain alteration by people. Monitoring of any one
of the parameters may not solve the problem at hand. Further the
circumferences of the hills and the intricate nature of the development will
involve large amount of investments for setting up a network that could
monitor all the above. One of the best ways to arrive at an efficient network of
hill slide warning system is to carry out a detailed micro analysis of the region
including the quality of contraction, the socio-economic status and other
practices before arriving at the location and type of warning system that would be
required. Landslides may have many causes but in majority of cases has one
trigger- continuous heavy rains.

Chapter 7: Financial Arrangements
To meet up the expenditure of immediate relief and response the State Disaster
Response Fund will be mobilized. This fund has been set up to meet the
expenditure for providing immediate relief to the victims of cyclone, drought,
earthquake, fire, flood, tsunami, hailstorm, landslide, cloudburst and pest
attack. Government of India contributes 75% of the yearly allocation in the form
of non- plan grant and remaining 25% is covered by the state government.
Outlay of funds in consultation with the state government is allocated by the
Finance Commission. In the event of shortfall of funds, on the request of the
state government, additional financial assistance will be provided from National
Disaster Response Fund by the Government of India.
Apathbandhu scheme as designed to provide financial insurance to people
falling below poverty line (BPL) introduced in 1998-99 for the age group of 18-69
years will cover the victims of the disasters. Eligibility criteria and nature of
death determine financial support provided under this scheme. Below Poverty
Line (BPL) families are covered under the scheme for deaths resulting from
accidents caused by external, violent and visible means. Deaths due to floods,
cyclones and other disasters have also been traditionally been covered under
this scheme. The Government of Andhra Pradesh through a MoU with General
Insurance Company Limited provides financial support. Insurance period is
covered from October 2nd of every year to October 1st of subsequent year.
Target for the policy period for the State is decided depending on the number of
deaths reported during the previous year and district wise target is fixed on pro
rata basis.
Although no dedicated fund is available at present for disaster mitigation in the
state, Municipal Corporation will allocate an annual budget for disaster
preparedness and effective response. This fund will be used to create awareness
as well as take necessary preparedness measures for flood, cyclones, landslides
and fire. The fund will also be used for conducting various training and capacity
building programmes as well as for procuring emergency equipments for
disaster response.
In addition to this each of the wings of the corporation, will take up necessary
disaster risk reduction measures through their regular development plans and
allocate necessary budget for the same.
Under mainstreaming disaster management and climate change initiatives each

department shall allocate resources under the departmental plan for taking up
regular mitigation initiatives apart from training to core departmental staff.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India has issued guidelines for Flexi-funds
with the Centrally sponsored schemes[CSSs]; Central Ministries concerned shall
keep atleast 10 percent of their plan budget for each CSS as flexi-funds, except
for schemes which emanate from a legislation [ e.g JnURM, NREGS, NRHM,] or
schemes where the whole or substantial proportion of the budgetary allocation
is flexible. State level sanctioning committee may sanction projects under the
flexi funds component. The guidelines will be applicable from the financial year
of 2014-15.
101
In additional regular projects, Vijayawada Municipal Corporation may be
proposed various mitigation projects on sectoral basis based on the
recommendations by experts [heat mitigation, land slide mitigation and flood
mitigation etc] to minimize the impact of disasters and climate change impact on
city dwellers.

IV. Contingency plan for Earthquake [preparedness]:
Immediate action: The hazards associated with earthquakes are numerous. In

addition to knowing what to do when the earth starts to shake, you must be
prepared in advance, at home or at work or at school. Once the ground has
stopped shaking you should then be ready to face secondary dangers such as
fires, tsunamis, etc. Though often forgotten, but always present are the
psychological effects of an earthquake, faced by both, children as well as adults.
This page attempts to summarize and provide offsite web links to other pages
that will help you and your loved ones to face an earthquake crisis in the future.
DURING an Earthquake - If you are INDOORS when an earthquake hits "Drop!

Cover! Hold!". DROP to the floor, head for COVER under a firm table and HOLD
onto it. Large earthquakes can send people and furniture sliding around like
toys. Do not try to run outside as falling debris such as broken glass, bricks,
etc. can be lethal. If you are OUTDOORS, stay away from buildings, bridges and
electricity lines. Do not attempt to enter buildings and if you are driving stop at
the side of the road immediately.
AFTER an Earthquake - If you live near the sea, you should immediately head
for higher ground to protect yourself from tsunamis. If there are no hills or high
ground near you, head inland. The further you are from the sea the better. Stay
there till you are sure that the danger has passed. After an earthquake, be
prepared to handle some small situations on your own. Emergency and medical
services will be overwhelmed and will be forced to tend to the most serious of
situations only. You should have knowledge of basic First Aid and a good First
Aid kit is a necessity in every home, school or office. Turn off the electricity and
use torches (flashlights). Do not attempt to use matches or cigarette lighters!
Check the gas valves (turn off gas mains if you receive piped gas) and sniff the
air for gas leaks. Open windows and doors if there is a leak immediately. Always
keep a fire-extinguisher on hand and make sure it is in a good working
condition. Buildings should be constructed according to specific guidelines laid
done by your country's building codes. Stay outdoors after an earthquakes as
they are always followed by aftershocks, which could cause further damage to
buildings and might even cause already weakened structures to collapse.

2. Hazard Risk Vulnerability Assessment Study recommendations by RMSI:
The Multi-Hazard Risk and Vulnerability Analysis (HRVA) for the City of Vijayawada,
Andhra Pradesh study has been carried out as part of the Climate Risk Management in
Urban under Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation Program of USAID-UNDP. It aims to
reduce disaster risks in urban areas by enhancing institutional capacities of urban local
bodies and to integrate climate risk reduction measures in the development programmes
as well as to undertake mitigation activities based on scientific analysis. This report
provides findings of hazard risk and vulnerability assessment of the key natural hazards
the city is exposed to namely cyclonic wind, flood, rock fall, heat wave, and epidemics.
Quantitative modeling techniques based on GIS methodology was used for mapping and
analysis developed around standard public domain models. Based on these results,
recommended action for various mitigation and adaptation was also provided
Recommended Actions:
Based on the city level risk assessment, recommended actions are suggested for the
disaster risk reduction of the city. This includes both structural and non-structural
measures. It warns mainstreaming disaster management in city development planning to
reduce the risk and protect the life and assets of the city. While sector specific
interventions are required, they should be based on community needs, future growth
trends and risk scenarios of the city. It needs coordination among sectors, and an
integrated approach to ensure mitigation, and adaptation measures would not cause any
adverse impact. The mitigation and adaptation measures need to be phased
appropriately and integrated into city's short, medium, and long-term plans.
Cyclone adaptation and mitigation measures
The economic losses of residential buildings and electric power lines are highest due to
cyclonic winds. It needs the following measure to reduce these losses:
o Building codes (byelaws) for various types of buildings in general and residential
buildings in particular need to be put into effect to reduce the cyclonic wind risk in
the city. In a phased manner, the tinned/asbestos roof buildings should be evaluated
by a certified structural engineer for their resistance to cyclone. This should be
followed up by appropriate retrofit measures.
o The overhead lines in general, and electric power lines in particular, need to gradually
convert to underground cables to avoid damage and loss due to cyclonic wind.
Flood adaptation and mitigation measures

o Flood risk management intervention is essentially required mainly to protect the
residential assets of the city. Approach required for flood risk management for
Krishna River and Budameru drain is different due to the nature of the flood and
flood impact
o Enforcing strict landuse is required in the banks of Krishna River to avoid
encroachment of settlement in the riverbed. This has to be carried out in a phased
manner with immediate steps towards restriction of construction of new houses in
the river bed and in due course relocate the existing habitat to other parts of the city
through some urban housing programs.
o Any structural intervention for flood mitigation in Krishna River to protect the city
needs to be dealt at a watershed level. Local interventions may not be of much help to
resolve the flood issues of the city, and may cause negative impact in the downstream
150
o Taking into consideration of short lean time of the flooding in Budameru area,
strengthening of Early Warning System (EWS) using telemetry system need be
explored
o The Budameru drain also has large number of encroachments within its channel and
these communities are mostly affected during flooding. Enforcing landuse restriction
taking into consideration of flood risk zone is required.
Rock fall/Landslide adaption and mitigation measures

o Creating awareness in the community towards risk of living in rock-fall prone areas
and administration to develop suitable mitigation measures, if such habitats cannot
be relocated
o On a priority restriction of encroachment on high risk slopes need to be imposed
o Slopes facing the main road need site inspection and need structural intervention to
avoid rock fall
Heat wave adaptation and mitigation measures

Creating awareness among community towards energy efficient buildings
While developing building codes for residential buildings, it is also important to
consider the heat wave risk. The design specifications should take in account of
guidelines on the design of green buildings
Mandating green building designs for government and public buildings
Improving green cover in the city in a phased manner to develop heat syncs
Awareness for people to live-with heat wave situations like drinking of enough water,
avoid alcohol consumption, suitable dressing, etc.
Training masons for construction of buildings following building codes and design
specification that covers features of green buildings
Epidemics adaptation and mitigation measures

o Health is a key sector that needs priority consideration as part of DRR activities both
in short and medium term planning. This includes:
o Public awareness for improving hygiene and sanitation.
o Monitoring of commercial eating places to adhere quality standards, ensuring
availability of good quality drinking water
o Imparting hygiene and sanitation education in schools
o Coordination with Public Work Department (PWD) for desilting drains to avoid water
logging during rainy season
o Landuse planning need to take into consideration of water logging issues during and
after construction and developmental activities
o Coordinate with railway department, and PWD and regularly fumigate railway yard,
trains in the train yards particularly during rainy seasons
o Periodic inspection across city to identify potential mosquito breeding places and take
necessary steps before and or during rainy seasons
151
Climate change adaptation measures
Land use and infrastructure development plans of the city need to take
into consider the climate change trends.
The storm water drains of the city need to develop taking into
consideration of the flood scenarios and the rainfall variations trends
based on climate change scenarios
IT and Database Development

Spatial data for the city is presently used only by planning department.
It needs to develop/migrate the spatial data available in various formats
(Autocad) into GIS platform to help in using for various decision making processes
including DRR activities. This should be a central database and accessible to various
departments through defined data sharing policies
The city needs to have a mechanism to develop disease incidence data
from both government and private hospitals. This can be done through an online module
in the city portal where access can be given to users (government and private hospitals)
to enter category wise tested and positive identified cases at their institutions. Similar to
birth and death registry, registering disease incidence for identified disease need to be
mandatory
Health contingency planning should be based on disease incidence data
Damage assessment report need to following the format developed and circulated by
NDMA and need to be decentralized, in the case of city it would be at ward level. Mobile
based application can be developed for ward officials to make online entry of damage
information to populate this database in distributed manner.
Mainstreaming integrated DRR in city development planning

The city master plan need to consider the disaster risk and integrate mitigation
measures in the vision document
City with the support of the political representatives need to enforce landuse zoning
and building codes based on hazard and risk maps
Implement incentives and disincentives for climate proofing tax subsidy for houses
with climate proofing and disincentives like climate risk penalties for people encroached
in hazard risk areas.
Awareness of political representatives will help regulating community encroachment
in hazard prone areas
As a part of medium and long term planning process, the city need design and develop
proper storm water network to avoid situation of urban flash floods.
152
3. CDMP City Disaster Management Plan - Vijayawada
The current City Disaster Management Plan which has been prepared in 2011 has been
reviewed by Ms.Jyothi Parikh, Consultant, New Delhi and series of consultations taken
place by interaction with Core departments, NGOs and Community to check the validity
of the Current City Plan and suitability to the threats and risk of the City. The expert
team has suggested the following frame work to VMC to prepare and update the City
Disaster Management Plan. UNDP team has shared review of CDMP in a Consultation
meeting held at VMC during September2013. The core heads of departments, NGOs has
participated in the meeting and contributed feedback to strengthen the plan. The
proposed City Disaster Manageme nt Plan is herewith:
Need more updated Quantitative as well as Qualitative data on Hazards, vulnerability,

capacities, potential risks
Sex segregated data with other vulnerabilities need to be captured;
Information flow charts could be improved with detailed hierarchy and flow of
command information
Resource data needs to identify the gaps and means/ ways to strengthen it.
Mitigation plan should include action points with fund allocation, time frame for
periodic review and implementation.
CDMP needs to talk about risk sensitive land use planning and development control
regulations that need to be enforced.
Scenario based planning as done for floods needs to be done for other hazards also.
Climate change aspects needs to be captured as it is a growing city
Issues like gender, social inequalities transparency, etc.. should be addressed
Process, updating and review plans are to be included
Some data could be moved to the annexure
4. Incident Response System - Vijayawada
As per the provisions of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, all States of India are
bound to introduce IRS in disaster management. But, the status of implementation of
IRS at the field level is not up to the mark. Hence, the following steps may be taken up
urgently by all urban authorities in order to fully utilize the resources developed or to be
developed after the basic & intermediate course in IRS:-
i) Authorities of the urban bodies should be trained in IRS in order to ensure its
implementation at the field level. Considering the busy schedule and various kinds of
important administrative works entrusted with them, they may be oriented in IRS by a
capsule course of one day duration. Further courses may be introduced by similar
capsule courses as per their convenience in such manner so that they may become an
expert in IRS within a span of maximum three months, without hampering their day to
day activities.
ii) City Incident Response Teams (IRTs) should be developed by involving the
trained personnel.
iii) Proper notification of such IRTs should be made and informed to all concerned.
Notification should be made designation-wise, so that the organization may not get
affected after transfer of any person of any IRTs.
153
iv) Effort should be made to utilize the services of the pre-designated IRTs to
address any kind of incident which falls under jurisdiction of the concerned IRTs,
positively utilizing IRS.
v) Local level Master trainers may be identified from the participants who may be
trained in further position specific modules like Incident Commander, Planning Section
Chief, Operation Section Chief, Logistics Section Chief, etc.
vi) Services of these Master Trainers may be utilized for position specific training
and refresher training of members of pre-designated IRTs.
vii) Arrangements for Simulation exercises / mock drill for the IRTs may be made
on regular intervals, preferably on quarterly basis.
viii) Community training may be introduced by local authorities throughout the

year excepting monsoon or other emergency situations utilizing services of these trained
personnel.
ix) Emergency Operation Centres (EOCs) must be developed at headquarter of

urban authorities which may play a great role in giving back end support in all kind of
disasters. The Urban level EOCs may remain in close contact with all other functional
EOCs of adjacent states in order to have prior information about availability of various
kinds and types of resources, technical experts, weather forecasts, satellite information,
etc.
154
Incident Response System - Vijayawada:
Organization & responsibilities:

In view of increasing multi hazards scope of the city, based on the previous exposure of
various disasters with different frequency and severity in nature reflecting loss of lives
and livelihoods the mitigation plan to be prepared focusing vulnerable divisions by
involving institutions and community in the city. Thus plan includes hazard specific
prevention and mitigation plans, early warning systems and building knowledge base of
the concerned population in the area. Since City Emergency Plan is concerned with the
many hazards to which the citizens may be exposure before, during, and after disaster
occurs, responsible authorities operate in accordance with five phases of disaster
management;
1. Prevention Preventive action are taken to avoid an incident or to intervene to stop

an incident from occurring. Such actions are primarily applicable to frequent
incidents. They may include the application of intelligence and other information to a
range of activities that may include deterrence, heightened security for potential
areas, public health surveillance etc.
2. Mitigation Actions may be taken to eliminate or reduce the impact of a disaster.
Such measures include zoning and land use measures, formulating and enforcing
building codes that recognize the hazards faced by the community, public education
about hazards and protective measures, hazard and vulnerability analysis and
preventative health care
3. Preparedness Actions may be taken in advance of a disaster to develop operational
capabilities and help communities respond to and recover from a disaster. Such
measures include undertaking the community based disaster preparedness activities,
construction and equipping of EOC with warning and communication systems,
recruitment and training of emergency management personal, development of plans,
procedures, arrangements, and agreements and exercises of personnel and systems
4. Response Response actions are taken before, during or after disaster/disaster to
save lives minimize damages and enhance recovery operational. Such measures
include activation of emergency operation centers/control room, plans and
procedure, arrangements and agreements, the emergency alert system, public
warning, notification of public officials, provision of mass care, shelter, search and
rescue and security.
5. Recovery Recovery actions are taken over the short term to return vital life support
systems to minimum standards, and long term to return life to normal or improved
levels. Such measures include damage assessment, supplemental assistance to
individuals and public entities, assessments of plan, procedures, arrangements, and
agreements and the development of economic impact studies and methods to mitigate
damages.
One of the best practices for Disaster Management is introduction of Incident

Command System as recommended by Hyper Committee at MHA to adapt ICS with
indianization of system for applicable to location situation/areas in the event of any
emergency or disaster/s

Recommendations
Incident Command structure for Vijayawada
The incident Command System is an on-scene, all risk, flexible modular system
adaptable to any scale of natural as well as man-made emergency/incidents. The ICS
seeks to strengthen the existing disaster response management system by ensuring that
the designated controlling/responsible authorities at different levels are backed by
trained incident Command team[ICT/IRS]. Whose members have been trained in the
different facets of emergency/disaster response management. The IRS will not put in
place any new hierarchy or supplant the existing system, but will only reinforce it when
an IRS is deployed for an incident all concerned agencies of the Government will respond
as per the assessment of the team.
This system therefore enables proper coordination amongst the different agencies of the
Government. The Five Command function in the Incident Response System are as
follows:
1. Incident Command has overall responsibility at the incident, determines objectives

and establishes priorities based on the nature of the incident, available resources and
agency policy
2. Operations Develops tactical organization and directs all resources to carry out the
Incident Action Plan
3. Planning Develops the Incident Action Plan to accomplish the objectives, Collects
and evaluate information and maintain status of assigned resources.
4. Logistics Provides resources and all other services needed to support the
organization
5. Finance/administration Monitors costs related to the incident, provides accounting,
procurement, time recording, cost analysis and overall fiscal guidance
City level Incident Response:
At City level, one City team with the primary function of assisting the Commissioner
[Incident Commander] in handling tasks like general coordination, distribution of relief
materials, media management and the overall logistics has been constituted. The City
based team management structure in Fig.1
In addition to the City team, there will be one or more City level incident Command
teams which can be deployed at the site of complex emergency/disaster. As and when
required these City level Incident teams will be deployed at the site of an
156
emergency/disaster for on-scene management. The teams will focus on the operational
aspects of response management, duly supported by other functions in IRS Ex.

What is IRS A management System, which is highly standardized, scientific and flexible. It is a
team based approach which professionalize response and applicable to all disasters and events
Why IRS? lack of accountability, lack of chain of command, lack of communication, lack of
predetermined method/system for disaster management, lack of coordination between first
responders and other professionals, NGOs, lack of use of common terminology resulting

Incident Response Team Vijayawada City
Considering multi hazard situations in the urban location exposed to various kinds of
natural and man-made disasters, courtesy to uncontrolled concentration of people owing
to greater livelihood opportunities, illegal construction of buildings, improper city and
town planning and many other socio economic reasons. Generally multiple authorities
work together in response to disasters in urban areas and thus proper management of
the incident utilizing the resources of various agencies, avoiding overlapping jurisdiction
and multiple commands becomes a great challenge. Hence, it is of utmost importance to
introduce Incident Response System in urban areas for scientific and systematic
management of any kind of incident as IRS works very successfully in such
multijurisdictional incidents. Thus, it may easily be said that the initiative taken by
UNDP and Vijayawada Municipal Corporation for imparting the five day training for all
key personnel of the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation and other related functionaries
who may be involved in actual response was very much required. After the training it is
expected that the participants have got an understanding of the basic principles and
features of Incident Response System and standard key wards to be applied during
emergency and the trained Officers should be able to initiate immediate response to any
kind of incident, irrespective of its magnitude, by building proper organization, utilizing
optimum resources, involving minimum cost and by following a focused and dedicated
planning process and finally implementing the plan effectively.

172
Glossary ; to familiar with disaster management words
Acceptable risk
The level of potential loses that a society or community considers acceptable given
existing social, economic, political, cultural, technical an environmental conditions
Adaptation
The adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected
climatic stimuli or their effects which moderates harm or exploits beneficial
opportunities
Building codes
A set of ordinances or regulations and associated standards intended to control
aspects of the design, construction, materials, alteration and occupancy of
structures that are necessary to ensure human safety and welfare including
resistance to collapse and damage
Capacity- A combination of all the strengths and resources available within a

community, society, or organization that can reduce the level of risk, or the effects
of a disaster. Capacity may include physical, institutional, social, or economic
means as well as skilled personnel or attributes such as leadership and
management. (ISDR 2007)
Contingency planning-A management tool used to analyze the impact of potential

crises and ensure that adequate and appropriate arrangements are made in
advance to respond in a timely, effective and appropriate way to the needs an the
affected population(s). Contingency planning is a tool to anticipate and solve
problems that typically arise during a humanitarian response. (IASC 2007)
Capacity development
The process by which people, organizations and society systematically stimulate
and develop their capacities over time to achieve social and economic goals,
including through improvement of knowledge, skills, systems, and institutions
Climate change
The inter-governmental panel on climate change defines a change in the state of the
climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its
properties and that persists for an extended period. Typically decades or longer.
Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcing or to
persistent anthropogenic changes in the compositions of the atmosphere or in land
use.
Contingency planning:
A management process that analyses specific potential events or emerging
situations that might threaten society or the environment and establishes
arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective and appropriate responses to
such events and situations
Copying capacity
173
The ability of people organizations and systems using available skills and resources
to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters
Disaster
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society causing
widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses which exceed the
ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. A
disaster is a function of the risk process. It results from the combination of
hazards, conditions of vulnerability and insufficient capacity or measures to
reduce the potential negative consequences of risk. (ISDR 2007)
Disaster Risk:
The potential disaster loses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets and services,
which could occur to a particular community or a society over some specified future
time period
Disaster risk management

The systematic process of using administrative decisions, organization,
operational skills and capacities to Implement policies, strategies and coping
capacities of the society and communities to lesson the impacts of natural hazards
and related environmental and technological disasters. This comprises all forms of
activities including structural and non-structural measures to avoid (prevention)
or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) the adverse effects of hazards within the
broad context of sustainable development (ISDR 2007).
Disaster Risk Reduction-The conceptual framework of elements considered with

the possibilities to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout a
society, to avoid (prevention) or to limit (mitigation and preparedness) adverse
impact of hazards, within the broad context of sustainable development (ISDR
2007)
Disaster Risk Reduction Plan:

A document prepared by an authority sector, organization or enterprise that sets
out goals and specific of objectives for reducing disaster risk together with related
actions to accomplish these objectives
Hazard;
A potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon, or human activity that may
cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption,
or environmental degradation. This can include latent conditions that may
represent future threats and can have different origins: natural (geological, hydro-
meteorological and biological) or induced by human processes (environmental
degradation and technological hazards). Hazards can be single, sequential or
combined in their origin and effects. Each hazard is characterized by its location,
intensity, frequency and probability. (ISDR 2007)
Early Warning system;
174
The provision of timely and effective information, through identified institutions,
that allows individuals exposed to hazards to take action to avoid or reduce their
risk and prepare for effective response. Early warning system entail a chain of
concerns, namely: understanding and mapping the hazard, monitoring and
forecasting impending events, processing and disseminating understandable
warnings to policy authorities and the population and undertaking appropriate
and timely action in response to the warnings. (ISDR 2007)
Hydro meteorological Hazard:

The process of phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature
that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts , property damage, loss of
livelihoods and services and social economic disruption or environmental damage
Mitigation
Structural and non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of
natural hazards, environmental degradation and technological hazards. (Examples
of structural measures are engineering works and hazard resistant construction,
while non-structural measures include awareness-raising, knowledge
development, policies on land use and resource management and facilities
operating procedures.) (ISDR 2007) Urban Management Centre, Ahmedabad xiii
Preparedness-Pre-disaster activities that are undertaken within the context of

disaster risk management and are based on sound risk analysis. This includes the
development/enhancement of an overall preparedness strategy, policy,
institutional structure, warning and forecasting capabilities, and plans that define
measures geared to helping at-risk communities safeguard their lives and assets
by being alert to hazards and taking appropriate action in the face of an imminent
threat or actual disaster (OCHA, quoted in ISDR 2007).
Prevention-Actions to provide outright avoidance of the adverse impacts of hazards

and means to minimize related Environmental, technological and biological
disasters. Depending on social and technical feasibility and cost-benefit
considerations, investing in preventive measures is justified in areas frequently
affected by disasters. In the context of public awareness and education related to
disaster risk reduction, changing attitudes and behavior contribute to promoting a
culture of prevention. (ISDR 2007)
Relief/Response-The provision of assistance or intervention during or immediately

after a disaster to meet the life preservation and basic subsistence needs of those
people affected. It can be of an immediate, short-term, or protracted duration.
(ISDR 2007)
Recovery-Decisions and actions taken with a view to restoring or improving the

pre-disaster living conditions of the affected community while encouraging and

Recovery-(Rehabilitation and reconstruction) affords an opportunity to develop and

apply disaster risk reduction measures. (ISDR 2007)
175
Rescue: An operation to retrieve persons in distress, provide for their initial
medical or
other needs and deliver them to a place of safety
Risk-The probability of harmful consequences, or expected losses (deaths, injuries,

property, livelihoods, economic activity disrupted or environment damaged)
resulting from interactions between natural or human induced hazards and
vulnerable conditions. (ISDR 2007) Risk is often also expressed as the equation:
Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability/ Response Capacity (IASC 2007)
Structural measures:
Any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards or
application of engineering techniques to achieve hazard resistance and resilience
in structure or systems
Non-structural measures:
Any measure not involving physical construction that uses knowledge, practice or
agreement to reduce risks and impacts, in particular through policies and laws,
public awareness raising, training and education
Technological hazard:
A hazard originating from technological or industrial conditions, including
accidents, dangerous procedures, infrastructures failures or specific human
activities, that may cause loss of life, injury illness or other health impacts,
property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption,
or environmental damage
Vulnerability;
The characteristics and circumstances of a community system or asset that make
it susceptible to damaging effects of a a hazard
