DISTURBING TRENDS OF DISASTERS AND THEIR IMPACT ON INDIA
DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL DISASTERS ALASKA CHINA USA JAPAN INDONESIA INDIA AREA-WISE EVENTS (1975-2001)
IMPACT OF MITIGATION & PREPAREDNESS MEASURES ALASKA CHINA USA JAPAN INDONESIA INDIA DISTRIBUTION OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY DISASTER (1975-2001)
PERIOD GLOBAL ECONOMIC LOSSES DUE TO DISASTERS Losses in US $ Billion 1960’s 1970’s 1980’s 1990’s Note :1. UN Declared the decade of 1990-1999 as International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. 2. Losses 1995-1999- Developed World – 2.5% of GDP. - Developing World – 13.4% of GDP. *Source www.em-dat.net
LOSSES DUE TO MAJOR EARTHQUAKES(>6 ON RICHTER SCALE) IN JAPAN & USA (2003 - 2005)
MAJOR DISASTERS IN INDIA : 1990 - 2005 1. If Average Annual Lives Lost are Added, Figure Will go to More than 2. Adding Average Annual Losses, the Figure Will be More than 121,500 156,000 Cr
INDIAECONOMIC LOSSES DUE TO DISASTERS 139 % 50 % PERIOD 86,000 Cr Losses in Thousand Crores Annual- Impact on People 1. Losses in lives - 4334. 2. People affected - 30 Million. 3. Houses lost - 2.34 Million. Annual- Financial Losses Percentage of Central Revenue (for relief) – 12%.
FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASING NUMBER OF DISASTERS • Population Growth and Urban Development • Development Practices • Climatic changes • Effect of Environmental degradation
POLAR ICE CAPS ARE MELTING FASTER THAN EVER… MORE AND MORE LAND IS BEING DEVASTATED BY DROUGHT… RISING WATERS ARE DROWNING LOW-LYING COMMUNITIES…
VICIOUS CYCLE BURNING FOSSIL FUELS AND BURNING FORESTS RELEASE CARBON INUNDATING LOW COASTAL AREAS GLOBAL WARMING MELTING POLAR ICE RAISES SEA LEVELS REDUCES OXYGEN AND INCREASES DROUGHT NOW IT IS VERY MUCH EVIDENT THATCLIMATE DISRUPTIONS FEED OFF ONEANOTHER IN ACCELERATING SPIRALS OF DESTRUCTION.
Hurricane Impact (Law & Order) Loss of Property and Lives CHAOS Early warning Overwhelmed State Federal 24 48 72 96 Preparedness Fed + State Response (Fed + State ) HURRICANE KATRINA (US) DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITY “The country’s Emergency Operations awesome in their potential, are also frighteningly inter dependent. Locals are in charge till they get overwhelmed. Then they cede control to Feds but not entirely. The Scarier things get, the fuzzier the lines of Authority become-------Uncertainty develops at crucial moments-------Leaders are afraid to actually Lead.---” TIME, 19 September 2005 Response IN HURRICANE RITA THE FEDERAL GOVT GOT INVOLVED FROM THE WARNING STAGE.

MUMBAI FLOODS Existed on Paper But, Enforcement Lacking. 1. Plans Most Crucial Responder -NOT Formally Part of Response Plan. 2. Police Technological Shortfall - Many Lives Could have Been Saved. 3. Timely Warning
NATURAL DISASTERS – LESSONS LEARNT 1. Mitigation Systems Require Manifold Improvement & should be “Technology Driven”. 2. Weakness in “Early Warning Systems” and Dissemination of Information to Far Flung Areas. 3. Decision to Provide Aid :- (a) Slow because of Procedures. (b) Request from States not backed by Proper Assessment. 4. States Organizations – Not Geared to Guide & Receive Aid. 5. Disaster Response Resources at State Level – Very Inadequate.
NATURAL DISASTERS – LESSONS LEARNT 6. Non Availability of Specialist Equipment, (Incl Mobile Field Hospitals). 7. Assistance from NGOs NOT Coordinated & Optimised. 8. People - Principal Actors -- Focused Public Awareness Campaign a Must. • Post Disaster Relief & Reconstruction - Lot of GAPS. • Positive Lesson -- Role of the Armed Forces
WHAT IS A DISASTER? DISASTER is an event which is – -generally unpredictable, -happens instantly or without giving enough time to react -affecting a large number of people, -disrupting normal life and leading to a large scale devastation in terms of loss of life and property -always finding the administration and affected people struggling to respond in the desired manner and -leaving deep socio-psychological, political and economic after effects which persist for a long time to come.
CLASSIFICATION OF DISASTERS • Natural, Man-made & Human-induced • Disasters occur in varied forms • Some are predictable in advance • Some are annual or seasonal • Some are sudden and unpredictable • Factors leading to a Disaster • Meteorological, Geological, Ecological or Environmental, Technological Etc.
NATURAL DISASTERS • Floods • Earthquakes • Cyclones • Droughts • Landslides, Pest Attacks, Forest Fires, Avalanches etc
TIME DURATION OF NATURAL DISASTERS Earthquakes -> Seconds/minutes Cyclones -> Days Floods -> Days Droughts -> Months

HAZARD A dangerous condition or events that threaten or have the potential for causing injury to life or damage to property or the environment. Hazards are basically grouped in two broad headings: • Natural Hazards (hazards with meteorological, geological or biological origin) • Unnatural Hazards (hazards with human-caused or technological origin) Natural phenomena are extreme climatological, hydrological, or geological, processes. A massive earthquake in an unpopulated area, is a natural phenomenon, not a hazard. But when these natural phenomena interact with the man made habitat, they may cause wide spread damage. Then, they become hazard
