Tourism The infrastructural loss to the industry is about Rs . 175 Cr
Education Education has been affected badly .students lost everything their
homes,household,footwear,books and even uniforms.
91
Existed on Paper But,
Enforcement Lacking.
Most Crucial Responder -
NOT Formally Part of
Response Plan.
Technological Shortfall -
Many Lives Could have
Been Saved.
92
Future Challenges of September, 2014 - Floods
• The first & Major challenge is health problem. Floods havea impact on people’s psychosocial and mental health
• The another big challenge is shelter & survival of thosepeople without home during this chilly & cold winter
• There is the possibility of massive job cuts after floods inprivate sector. Therefore, managing unemployed youth isone of the big challenge before government
• There is the possibility of mismanagement and misuse offlood related funds (i.e. Rehabilitation and Reconstruction)which may trigger massive agitation from various quartersof the society
93
CONCLUSIONS
• That presently Disaster ManagementMechanism in J & K state is not in place
• Implementation of what has been proposedby different authorities and acts at Central andState level has been very slow
• There is a great need of Introducing ModernTechnologies like Mapping, Remote Sensing,Aerial Photography and Early Warning Systemin the State
94
RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS
• Early warning System should be given installed infuture as the state has miserably failed to develop anysystem till date
• Unplanned growth which obstructs natural drainageresulting in increased flood should be restricted
• Afforestration should be encouraged by governmentamong people, NGOs, corporate sector, School &higher education departments
• The Govt and State disaster work force must remainalways cautious. During recent floods Govt was notprepared at all.
• There is the great need to strengthen weak bunds ofthe major rivers of J & K well in advance
95
Contd ….
• Proper river bank protection by constructingembankments and using anti-erosionmeasures should be taken up on a large scale
• Construction of residential colonies on riverbanks and flood plains should not be allowedand offenders should be strictly dealt underlaw
• Modern concepts & Technologies like RemoteSensing, Aerial Photography, Epidemiologyand Information Management should beintroduced in the states.
96
Contd ….
• Hydrology Studies in flood prone areas shouldbe done so as to avert severe impact of floods
• Forecast and Warning Systems should beestablished in different districts of the state
• Area Flood Mapping using Remote Sensingshould be prepared in advance to make futurepreparedness plans and evacuationcapabilities should be enhanced in the areas
97
Contd ….
• Incentives, subsidies, financial help or ensuring softloans with marginal interest rates from banks andother financial institutions for people to enable themto retrofit existing buildings should be encouraged
• There is a great need for sensitization of people livingin vulnerable areas and spreading of awareness aboutsafe construction procedures
• There is a need for Review and amendment of laws andrules relating to constructions and buildings to make itmandatory for observing building codes and disasterrelated safety measures, guidelines of NDMA, SDMAand DDMAs in respect of new constructions.
98
The individual and his neighbour are potentially the best Disaster
Managers
