The District Disaster Management Plan (DDMP),
Sepahijala is a comprehensive document of District Profile and the
battery of activities and functions of the District Administration along
with other members of District Disaster Management Teams (DDMT),
to cope with any disaster that may touch the district. The DDMP has
highlighted a set of guidelines for some particular Government
Departments who are the first responder before, during and after a
disaster.
In addition to this, the other Government Departments /
Local Urban Bodies / Private Agencies / NGOs will be directed by the
District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Sepahijala to
perform their functions as situations demand. However, this DDMP
will act as a handy reference literature for the officers and the
members of the public.

INTRODUCTION
Tripura, one of the full fledged states of North-East
India, had a long history as a princely state, stretching
back into antiquity. According to versions presented in
different editions of „Rajmala‟, altogether 184 kings of the
Manikya dynasty had ruled the state. Scholars on
Tripura‟s history, however, attribute all the pre-fifteenth
century kings to the realm of mythology though continued
sway of the Manikya dynasty has been attested since the
yearo1432.
After India became independent, Tripura acceded to
the Indian Union on 15th October, 1949 as a “C” category
state and became a Union Territory in November, 1956.
Tripura attained full statehood on January 21, 1972. Till
then, Tripura was a single District state.

Since 1978, several landmark initiatives have been
taken by the State Government to strengthen democratic
values in the state in General and penetrated the essence
of democracy at grass-root level, in particular. On
introduction of 3-tier Panchayti Raj local- self-governance
model, common people of the state had been empowered to
elect their own representatives at village level through
democratic elections.
Tripura, which had once a single District only, is now
divided into eight districts, twenty three subdivisions and
fifty eight blocks. Besides, a special feature of the state is
the vibrant existence of an Autonomous District Council
(ADC) for tribals based on 6th Schedule of the Indian
constitution. The ADC in Tripura homes roughly one third
of the State‟s population. According to the Government
decision, after trifurcation of West Tripura District, the
Sepahijala District started its administrative functioning at
the fag end of the year 2011 in the premise of one double
storied office building, earlier used by Executive Engineer,
PWD, Division No.II.
The District is bounded west by Bangladesh, north by
West Tripura District, east and south by Gomati, Khowai
and South Tripura District. It has a unique diversity in
respect of terrain and also religion, culture of different
communities, with a peaceful co-existence among all
6
communities. The District consists of 3 (three) Sub-
Divisions, 7(seven) Blocks and 3(three) Nagar Panchayats.
The main source of the lively hood of local people is
agriculture and allied activities.
The Collectorate is located by the side of NH-44 and
in the vicinity of Bishramganj market and motor stand.
There are some important tourist places, namely Sepahijala
Sanctuary & Zoo, Neermahal, Buddha Stupa and
Kashbeswari Kalibari located in this district.

2. CONCEPT OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
Disaster Management
The word disaster is coming from a French word Desastre meaning bad or evil star.
However, this is a very narrow concept of disaster and in our context, any disaster means a
situation in which there is a sudden disruption of normalcy within a society causing wide
37
spread damage to life and property.
Typology of Disaster
A disaster can either natural (Rain, Flood, Cyclone, Storm, Land slide, Earthquake and
Volcanoes) or man made [War, including biological, Arson, Sabotage, Riots Accident (train,
air, ship) industrial accidents, Fires, bomb explosions, nuclear explosion and ecological
disasters].Pre- independence, drought and famines were the biggest killer in India. The
situation change due to a combination of factors like irrigation development, food security
measures, floods, cyclones, droughts, landslides, avalanches and earthquakes are some of
the major natural disaster that repeatedly and increasingly affect the country.
Vulnerability
Vulnerability is defined as the extent to which a community, structure, service or
geographic area is likely to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of particular hazard on
account of their nature, construction and proximity to hazardous terrain or a disaster
prone area. In 1989, the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed the decades
1999-2000 as the International decade for natural disaster reduction (IDNDR). At the World
Conformance on Natural Disaster Reduction in the city of Yokohoma, Japan in 1994, deep
concern was expressed at the continuing human suffering and disruption of development
due to natural disaster and a “Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action for a Safe World”
was developed. It is not possible to go away from the devastation due to natural hazards
completely. However, destruction from natural hazards can be minimized by the presence
of well-functioning warning system, combined with preparedness on the part of the
vulnerable communality. Disaster Management may be seen as a part of good governance.
3. BASIC CONCEPTS OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT:
The basic concept suggests that the same management strategies can be applied to all
emergences. Emergences do not just appear one day, rather they exist throughout times
and have life cycle of occurrence, and hence the management strategy should match the
38
phases of an emergency in order to mitigate, prepare, respond, and recovery from its
effect. There are four phases in emergency management: Mitigation, Preparedness,
Response, and Recovery. These four phases are visualized as having a circular relationship
to each other (Fig.1 Emergency Management Circle). The activities in one phase may
overleap those in the previous one.
4. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CYCLE:
Mitigation refers to activities which actually eliminate or reduce the vulnerability or chance
of occurrence or the effects of a disaster. Mitigation phase begins with conducting hazards
identification and vulnerability analysis which are essential to the planning of all other
phases.
Hazards identifications and vulnerability analysis is two steps process. First the hazard is
identified which has the potential of affecting the population. Secondly, how people,
property and structure will be affected by the disastrous event.
Preparedness is a state of being ready to react promptly effectively in the event of an
emergency. Being prepared means that a plan of action exists for an emergency so that it is
clear as to what to do before the emergency occurs. Preparedness measures to be
undertaken depend upon the analysis of hazard severity and vulnerability, which is also the
basis for deciding mitigation strategy. In some cases, such as flood, hurricane, an early
warning gives several hours to act. However, often no prior warning of an impending
emergency such as with earth quakes, tornados, explosion, major fires is possible.
Preparedness for any emergency, especially those, which strike without notice, requires a
plan. It is essential to identify the resources available, and ways to utilize them. It must also
be reasonably certain that the plan will work in an emergency situation.
Response Phase:
39
The basic five stages of response to any emergency or disaster are–
1. Warning
2. Immediate Public Safety
3. Property Security
4. Public Welfare and
5. Restoration
Recovery Phase:
The final phase of disaster management is recovery; both short term and long term efforts.
Short term recovery is the restoration of vital services and facilities to minimum standards
of operation and safety. Long term recovery efforts may continue many years as the
society slowly return to the pre-emergency for better conditions.

5. DISASTER AND ITS CHALLENGES:
Along with perennial floods, Earth quake pose a possible threat, particularly due to the
fact that its time, location and magnitude can’t be accurately predicted. Moreover, entire
North East region of India is located in a seismically active zone (zone-v). The region has
been witnessed to several violent earthquakes in the past.
Challenges created by disasters particularly by the natural disaster such as flood,
cyclones and high intensity earth quake are –
To rescue and evacuate trapped people.
To provide first Aid to the injured people.
To make care of children, woman and disable people.
To transfer the seriously injured and people needing urgent medical attention to
hospitals.
To restore communication network and essential services.
To clear debris, blocking roads and communication network.
To provide shelter and relief to homeless people.
To arrange for food and drinking water to the affected people.
To take immediate measures for disposal of dead bodies and animal carcass as to
prevent the outbreak of epidemics.
To take urgent measures for maintaining law and order.
To take people to safer places in-case of change of course of river due to flood.
It is a fact that natural disasters cannot be avoided and prevented, but only by our
41
sincere efforts we can mitigate it through advance preparedness. Preparedness means
development, rehabilitation, restoration on one side and mitigation, rescue and relief on
other side.
CHAPTER – III
FORMULATION AND PREPARATION OF DISTRICT DISASTER
MANAGEMENT PLAN:
The District Disaster Management Plan of Sepahijala, hereafter will be referred to as
the plan which is a Multi Hazard Disaster Management Plan that assists and equips the
District Administration to organize its emergency preparedness for the pre, during and post
disaster, so that response and mitigation functions timely and in an efficient manner within
the district and also to extend the necessary support to the State Government. The District
Disaster Management Plan includes the facts and figures that have been collected from
various official and informal sources with a view to meeting the challenges during any
natural and man-made disaster.
Collection and classification of data are to be updated twice in May and November every
year. The plan has been prepared with the following viewpoints.
1. Contingency plan is a continuous process.
42
2. All are not equal in a crisis situation, giving emphasis on special vulnerable groups like
economically weaker, sick and ailing, pregnant and lactating mother, old aged etc.
3. During relief measures social auditing ensures transparency.
4. Involvement of women is a must in the entire process.
5. Mitigation plan reflecting need based approaches from the grassroots level.
6. Well defined preparedness and response plan for the entire district.
5. OBJECTIVE:
The objectives behind the preparation of the District Disaster Management plan are:
1. To mitigate impact of natural and man-made disasters through preparedness at District
level, Blocks, Gram Panchayat and Village level.
2. To provide effective support and resources to all the concerned individuals, groups and
departments during disasters.
3. To assist the line department, Block administration, communities in developing
compatible skills for disaster management.
4. To disseminate factual information in timely, accurate and tactful manner while
maintaining necessary confidentiality.
5. To develop immediate and long term support plans for vulnerable people in/during
disaster.
6. To create awareness among the people about hazard occurrences and increase their
participation and preparedness, prevention, development, relief, rehabilitation and
43
reconstruction process.
7. To have response system in place, to face any eventuality.
B. NECESSITY OF THE PLAN:
The plan establishes an administrative structure for a systematic, coordinated and
effective
response at the district level.
The purpose of the plan is to-
Define a system of coordination at the district level.
Identify all the responder agencies at the district level, and assign functional
responsibilities to each of them.
Establishment of a central facility in the district, which enables all the responder’s
agencies to interact and coordinate their efforts.
Suggest hazard specific preparedness, response and mitigation measures.
Plan resource requirements and coordinate with state government for
requisitioning more resources.
Provide an inventory of resources, key facilities and addresses for deployment and
assistance towards preparedness and mitigation.
Responding to an urgent call of society to paradigm change from the traditional
practice of giving relief towards reducing the risk of disaster, the Govt. is emphasizing that
at all level; primary role of Administration should be the preparedness, mitigation,
reduction and response to a disaster based on community participation.Disasters are
events that come unannounced and the main duty of District Administration then
becomes the proper management of resources, be it material, physical or manpower. As
per the Government directions, in the state, every district must have a District Disaster
44
Management Plan. Accordingly, a detailed District Disaster Management Plan has
been prepared for the District Sepahijala.
While preparing this document, an effort has been made to: -
1. Identify probable Disaster/Disaster situations in this District and Nodal Officers for
each such situation have been deputed. The duties of all the members of District
Disaster Management Committee have been clearly defined.
2. Evolve a Standard Operative Procedure of a general nature keeping in view the
common requirements of various Disaster situations with special emphasis on
Control Room operation and seeking help from outside the district.
3. Touch upon in detail the inventory of resources at the disposal of the
Administration and the knowledge of experts for handling the situation.
4. Project a detailed individual Disaster management plan for handling important Disaster/Disaster situations.
Our main aim is to reduce vulnerability and also to minimize the destruction
caused by all of these types of Disaster, be it natural or manmade. This is not an easy task
and in order to achieve this target and also keeping in view the population and the of
multiplicity of the hazards and Disaster, which can occur, we are of firm opinion that the
Government cannot resolve this issue and the people are not prepared to pay the price
in terms of massive casualties and economic losses, the task, though difficult but is
achievable.
45
C. Introduction to mitigation mode.
Disaster threatens sustainable economic development worldwide. In the past twenty years, earthquakes, floods, tropical storms, droughts and other calamites have killed millions of people, inflicted injury, disease and caused homelessness and misery to around one billion others in the world. These have caused damage to infrastructure worth millions of rupees. Disaster destroys decades of human effort and investments, thereby, placing new demands on society for reconstruction and rehabilitation. Disaster management thus, requires multi-disciplinary and proactive approach. The community, civil society organizations, media and the proverbial man on the street, everyone has to play a role in case such exigency occurs.
The various prevention and mitigation measures outlined below are aimed
at building up capabilities as also how to deal with Disaster. The objective of a Disaster
Management Plan is to localize a Disaster and contain its effect to the greatest extent so
as to minimize its impact on life, environment and property. Response to Disaster, in the
absence of a well-defined plan, would be arbitrary, leading to overemphasis of actions of
some actions and absence of other critical actions. A formal plan for managing Disaster
is, therefore, necessary. This Disaster management plan has a strong preventive focus
which aims at reducing the frequency of occurrence of such Disaster while at the same
time, it includes a plan of action for earthquakes, floods, cyclones, epidemics, industrial
and chemical accidents, road accidents and fires.
Keeping in view, all the possible aspects of the aforesaid problem in mind and to
keep the Administration prepared in all possible ways to respond properly to various
Disaster situations within shortest possible time, possible Disaster
situations/Disaster have been identified and the component plans have also been
identified & mentioned in detail in this document:
1. Natural
calamitie
s
2. Floods
3. Earthquak
e
4. Biological Disaster or Epidemic of Human/livestock/crops
5. Fire
46
II. Man Made Calamities
5. Industrial Disaster
(ii) Radiological Disaster
(iii) Accidents
(iv) Railways
(v) Road
(vi) Air
(vii) Building Collapse
(viii) Stampede at crowded religious functions/ melas/ processions. (ix) Food Poisoning
(x) Bomb Blast (Terrorist Activities)
The mode, degree and extent of response to fight out any Disaster depends
upon the nature, degree and extent of Disaster, but some of the points are almost
common to all kinds of situations. For example, it is to be ensured in all types of Disaster
that first of all appropriate prevention steps are to be taken.
Secondly, preparedness is required to contain the damages and casualties
resulting from the Disaster.
Thirdly, steps for reclamation and restoration of community life within a
reasonable time will have to be taken care of.
Similarly, it is common to all situations that: -
1. Central Control Rooms are to be established.
2. District Disaster Management Committee is to come into action.
47
3. A general line of action and some special duties to various officers and departments will have to be assigned.
4. Voluntary Organizations may have to be involved and their role will have to be clearly specified and coordinated.
5. Media may have to be briefed to suppress all kinds of rumours.
6. Information regarding resource inventory of Health Services, Transport Services, Evacuation & Rehabilitation Centers , and Food etc. may be needed.
Broad guidelines have been given in the following pages and “Standard
Procedure” has been formulated which is to be adhered to by all concerned. Once the
Disaster takes place and the authorities are informed of the same, they will take the
necessary action with the help of the individual Disaster management plans prepared
for the respective Disaster/situations.
The main objectives of various preparedness measures
are: -
i) Minimizing the loss of human lives.
ii) Minimizing the loss of livestock.
iii) Minimizing the loss to property and infrastructure.
iv) Minimizing ill effects on the health of affected population.
v) Bringing the human activities in the locality to normal condition soon after.
To achieve the above objectives different tasks have to be performed by
different Government Departments and other agencies before, during and after the
Disaster. Each Department’s role and responsibilities have to be clearly identified and
48
action plan needs to be drawn up by each department. For close cooperation between
the various Department / Agencies, close coordination is required at the District.
Headquarter as well as at the Tehsil Headquarter. The DM & Collector, Sepahijala will
coordinate the work at the District. The SDM’s are to co-ordinate all activities at the Sub-
Division level.
The responsibility to manage all sorts of Disaster in the district rests with the
“District Disaster Management Committee” headed by the DM & Collector,
Sepahijala, who may, depending upon the gravity of the situation, seek the help of
“State Disaster Management Committee” and the “National Disaster Management
Committee”.
For operational expediency, the concerned Sub Divisional Magistrate,
Superintendent of Police (SP), Block Development Officer and Tehsildar with their
subordinate staffs will swing into action immediately after receipt of information
regarding any Disaster. The SDMs will immediately take over as in charge of the site.
They will try their best to contain the situation with the available local
resources. However, if they find that the situation is beyond their control and the
district level resource mobilization is required, they will seek the help of their superiors
or call the meeting of Disaster Management Committee. Operation Model for such
situation is shown below.
D. STEPS OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
1. Prevention of Disaster
First step will be to prevent the Disaster and each nodal officer shall visualize and ensure that the preventive actions have been taken well in advance by him to avert any Disaster situation.
