Chapter I: 1.1Vision of the Document

1.2 Evolution of the Document 1.3 Why is it? The past history of the hazards in Ramgarh district is well known. The district is vulnerable towards both natural and man- made disaster. The district is vulnerable towards natural disasters like; droughts, sunstroke, lightening and forest fire and man- made disaster like Fire/ Inundation/ at Mines. The damage caused by disasters continues to increase year after year. The need for an effective disaster management strategy to reduce the disaster impact is being felt in many quarters and also for strengthening of organizational structure for disaster management. It was felt that the classification of the hazard would help in preparing disaster management plans. This precise actions, procedures and responsibilities have to be laid down well in advance in order to ensure timely response in case of any disaster. Therefore, a mechanism that takes into account multiple hazards and basic preparedness has to be articulated in the form of Quick Response Teams, Quick Assessment Teams, Reporting Procedures, Checklist and Handbooks. The mechanism also lays down crucial parameters, requirements and organizational composition of Emergency Operations Centers and Incident Command Systems.


Chapter - II District at a Glance

2.1 Overview of Ramgarh District

The district Ramgarh came into existence on 1st April 1991as a Sub Division of Hazaribagh District. Later the district was carved out of erstwhile district of Hazaribagh on 12th September 2007 and became the 24th district of Jharkhand. Initially it had four blocks i.e Ramgarh, Gola, Mandu and Patratu. On 8th of Aug 2009 two blocks namely Dulmi and Chitarpur were created from Ramgarh Block. At present the district is having 6 blocks, 143 Panchayats and 351 villages.

Ramgarh district has one Sub-division namely Ramgarh and it has 351 revenue village of which 334 is Chiragi and 17 is be-chiragi.

2.2 Location

The Latitude and Longitude of District Headquarter is 230 38’ and 850 34’ respectively. 2.3 Socio-economic profile

The Bedia Adivasi is found in Gola and Mandu blocks of Ramgarh district. Their houses are made up of earthen side walls with tiled roofs. The houses are rectangular in size with closed courtyards. Adhered to the house is cattle-shed.

The Bedia women are fond of ornaments. They wear ornaments in neck, ear, wrist, fingers and feet. The ornaments are made up of steel, copper, bronze, glass, thread, seeds, shell, silver and gold imitation. The marriage is regarded as a very important ritual which comes in the life of every individual. The marriage is negotiated by the father or guardian of the boy and the girl. The father of the boy approaches the father of the girl with marriage proposal. Both decide the bride price in cash and kind. The bride price in cash is nominal. In kind, some clothes to bride, bride's parents, bride’s brothers and sisters are given. Rice pulse and vegetable or goats are given to arrange marriage feast for the community members. On the day of marriage, the bride and the girl perform purificatory bath. They wear new dresses. In the house of the bride, a decorated seat is constructed where marriage ceremony takes place. The kin of the bride waits for the arrival of the groom and the Barat Party.


The main source of family income of Bedia is agriculture. Each family owns land for house and agriculture. Just by the side of the house, they have plots in which vegetables, maize etc. are grown during rainy season. They are fully dependent upon rainfall. The agriculture provides employment to the Bedia family for nearly six months. But the income from agriculture is not sufficient. So, in off agricultural season, they go to work as casual or contract labour in to collieries, factories and earthwork, construction sites, brick kiln etc. For some families wage earning is the only means of stay. They also migrate temporarily to other places like Bengal and Assam in search of work as Tea garden labour. 2.4 Area and administrative division

The total area of Ramgarh district is 1360.08 Sq. Km, out of which 487.93 Sq. Km is forest area. The present boundary of Ramgarh district is in North – Hazaribagh district, South – Ranchi district, East Ranchi and West - Bokaro district. The district headquarter is at Ramgarh town. It is situated on National Highway 33, 46 Km away from state’s capital (Ranchi). Administrative Unit Name of the Sub Division

2.5 Physical region

Ramgarh was the seat of a major Zamindari (baronial estate) in the era of the British Raj. The areas that would later comprise the Ramgarh Raj (estate) had initially belonged to the Raja of Chhota Nagpur. Around the year 1368, the area witnessed unrest for reasons not now known. The Raja deputed two brothers namely Baghdeo and Singhdeo to restore order. After the job was done, the Raja did not render payment to them of the full promised amount. Baghdeo, who was anyway in control of the area after quelling rebellion, simply stayed on and declared himself Raja of that area, which is said to have been 24 Parganas (districts) in extent. Major districts that came under the Ramgarh Raj were Hazaribagh, Ramgarh, Koderma, and Bokaro. The entire area is rich in minerals like coal and mica and falls under the Indian State of Jharkhand.


Raja Bahadur Kamakshya Narain Singh (b.1916, ruled 1919-47, d.1970) was the last ruling chief of the Ramgarh Raj. In 1945, he ceded control to the Indian government. His son, Raja Bahadur Indra Jitendra Narain Singh (1938- ) is the present head of the family.

2.13 Food grain Production

Main economic activities are agriculture and mining. Agriculture is mostly rain fed, the major crops cultivated being Paddy and Maize 3.86% of the total geographical area and 14.5% of the net cropped area is being irrigated. The climate is highly conducive for growing a variety of vegetables, which is presently being

cultivated in all the 6 blocks in an unorganised way. The agro-climatic conditions also favour cultivation of fruit crops like mango, guava,

jackfruit, custard apple, sweet lime, etc. 75% of the agricultural land holding belongs to small and marginal farmers which have

contributed to poor level of mechanized farm operations. Agri-Horticulture is being encouraged and developed as a viable agricultural proposition

through National Horticulture Mission. The State and District level Review Committees review implementation of program and ensure plantation of quality saplings, development of Nursery and availability of Vermicompost for plantation activity etc.

About 50 % of land is under forest cover which can be used for cultivation of Medicinal and Aromatic plants and forest based units.

A significant percentage of population depends upon forest produce for livelihood. About 3500 SHGs ( mostly women SHGs) are operating in the district. Repayment of loans to

banks by SHGs is reported to be about 90-95%. Effort is on to convert matured SHGs into


Micro- enterprises. Under NABARD’s flagship program of SHPI, 600 SHGs were formed and credit linked to various banks through NGOs SUPPORT and Agragati.

2.14 Cropping Pattern

Ramgarh falls under Chhotanagpur plateau and has a rolling topography. Out of total geographical area of 137602Ha, Net sown area is 20667.32 ha i.e. 15 % of total geographical area. The district falls in tropical monsoon climatic zone resulting in moderately extreme cold in winter and moderate heat in summer. The undulating hilly tracts with soil having red late rite content make this area more suitable for vegetable cultivation in comparison to cultivation of cereals. A wide range of crops are grown in the district. The major crops are paddy, wheat, maize, oilseeds, pulses, potato, tomato and other vegetable. More than 62% of net sown area is under small and marginal holdings up to 2 ha. of land.

Crop Coverage (Ha) Production (MT)

Productivity (Kg/Ha)

Paddy 57,890 63,840 1,103

Maize 13,330 20,500 1,537

Wheat 5,500 8,250 1,500

Pulses 4,344 4,472 1,029

Oilseeds 2,426 1,787 735

Vegetables 6,628 100,450 1,516

2.15 Land Utilization

Agriculture is the predominant economic activity in the district. Vegetables particularly potato, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. are grown in large tracts of Gola, Mandu, and Ramgarh blocks. There are quite a few large and medium industries in the district processing and exploiting mineral resources. The district is one of the richest in the country in mineral resources. Goods transport activity is also growing at a very fast pace.


Paddy is the main crop of the district followed by wheat, pulses and vegetables. Potato, Tomato and some other vegetables including coriander leaves are major commercial crops of the district. Except for a few orchards of mango and guava and some beehives, horticulture has not been adopted as a commercial activity and no plantation crop is being taken up in the district. Of late Plantation & Horticulture Department is assigning greater importance to orchard development and has taken up activities like hybrid seed production, nursery development, Multitier orchard development, vegetables and tuber crop cultivation. Each block is planned to have an orchard of mango, guava and jackfruit. Orchard development is gaining popularity among the tree lovers. Few progressive farmers have also adopted Integrated horticulture based on mixed vegetable cropping, a forestation, Dairy, Gobar Gas plants , application of Vermicompost in the fields with the Agriculture units covered with bamboo plantation/fencing. Geographical area - 137602 Ha Net sown area - 20667.32 Forest - 14847.62 Fallow land - 3316.20 Land not available for cultivation - 9623.87 Cropping Intensity - 117% Area brought under HYV seeds - 3270 (Certified Seed)

Irrigation (Ha) Net Irrigated Area - 7515.75 By Dug wells (13223no) - 4399.06 By Ponds/Ahars (468 no) - 2035.78 By Micro Irrigation Schemes( 48 no) - 554.056 Surface Water viz. check dams (72 no) water harvesting structures, etc. - 750.84

2.16 Coal Mines

The district is having several coal-fields at Rajrappa, Laiyo, Ghato, Sirka, Urrimari, Sayal, Gidi etc Panchet Hydro Power Station,Panchet, Damodar Valley Corporation, Jindal Steel Plant, Patratu

2.18 Transport and Communication


The Government of Jharkhand, after its creation is focusing on development of road net work through PMGSY and Rajya Samposhita Yojana scheme, provision of Quality power, provision of drinking water and irrigation facilities etc. Effort is on to restore the neglected irrigation facilities. RIDF has been a major source of funding for the State Government for creation of new infrastructure as well as strengthening of existing infrastructures in specified sectors viz irrigation, Roads and Bridges, Forestry, Agriculture - infrastructures - fishing ponds, market yards, storage god owns etc. The Bhairawa Medium Irrigation project, 12 rural road projects and 30 micro lift points are under implementation in the district under various tranches of RIDF, whereas 5 MI reservoir and GW schemes have already been commissioned. 2.20 River system, Drainage and Dams:-

The district does not have the big rivers yet there are few rivers namely River Damodar and Bhairavi. These rivers usefully get dry during the summer season but during the rainy season it takes the huge shape.

Patratu dam is most popular tourist spot of Patratu it is used for picnic and for Chatt puja, it is 6 km far from Patratu city. The dam is being used for the supply of water to Ramgarh cantonment area as well as the main reservoir of Patratu Thermal Power Plant (PTPS).

Following the Incident Command System, the site operations would be taken into action. Depending on the nature of disaster and the type of damage, it may be necessary to set up a number of relief camps. ♦ in such a situation, the DDMA may decide to set-up a Site Operations Center (SOCs) to

reduce the pressure on District Control Room for field coordination.


♦ depending upon the disaster locations and the number of campsites, the DDMA may decide to set-up more than one Site Operations Center.

♦ The Site Operations Center and the camps would be wound up after the relief and rehabilitation work is called off or after the relief camps are dismantled.

The Site Operations Center will be managed by Site Manager of the rank of Deputy Collector/

Sub Divisional Office. 4.3 Emergency Operation Centers and their operation site 4.4 Modalities (role, inter-institutional communication mechanisms, linkages etc) for

involvement of army, NGOs and other institutions. 4.5 Linkages with the sub-plans (village plan, block plans, plans of major industrial

establishments, departments (police, fire, agriculture, institutions such as NGOs etc).


Chapter -V 5. Preparedness and Mitigation Plan In disaster management cycle, preparedness and mitigation are the two important stages before the occurrence of disaster. It has a great importance in reduction of loss of life and property if proper preparedness and mitigation strategies are followed. So, let’s discuss them in general as well as event wise:- 5.1 Establishment of the Control Rooms The district administration should ensure the operation of control rooms. The control rooms are presently run by major line departments at revenue, police, hospital, etc. at block and district level should be function able. 5.2 Plan Updation Disaster Management Plan needs updation at every interval. It includes the skilled manpower, their addresses and contact numbers, necessary equipments, medicinal stock, daily necessities, list of hazard prone villages etc. All these things have to be updated after a certain interval of time. 5.3 Communication System Training needs to be given for search and rescue teams, first aid team’s disaster management teams at village, block and as well as district level. These teams will provide timely help during any type of disaster. Provision of wireless sets at all Sub-division and block Offices for effective communication is essential for effective early warning. Fire Brigades at all the Municipal Offices. The widespread community awareness program in most hazard prone villages is required so that villages are sensitized about the hazard and there are no problems when there is need for evacuation. 5.4 Organization of Mock Drills Mock drill is an integral part of the Community based disaster management plan, as it is a preparedness drill to keep the community alert. Time to time mock drills is needed in all the villages of the district to activate the DMTs and modification of the DM plan. Mock drill should


be organized once in six months as per the seasonality calendar of natural disaster events that is likely to occur. 5.5 Community Awareness on Various Disasters 1. Retrofitting the weak structures 2. House insurance 3. Agriculture insurance 4. Identification of the Higher Shelter 5. Construction of Earthquake Resistant Structures 6. Awareness on Calamity Relief Fund (CRF) 5.6 Disaster wise mitigation measures may be taken as follows

Disaster in the Coal Mines

1. Prevention of Mine Disaster from Explosion

2. Prevention of Mine Disaster from Inundation

Each Mine shall be critically examined for its proneness to inundation and deliberated in the safety committee of the mine and information disseminated as widely as possible.

Suitable infrastructure at area level may be provided for drilling advance boreholes to detect presence of waterlogged working in advance.

Embankment provided against river to guard against inundation should be constructed and properly shown in the underground plan and water danger plan.

Detailed precautions against inundation by framing and implementation standing order for the safe withdrawal of persons with effective communication system.

Mechanism may be developed for warning mines about impending heavy rains opening of dams in the river on the upstream side should be examined.

3. Flood

The villagers residing on the bank of river Damodar are likely to be affected due to flash flood. The strict enforcement of flood zone regulations need to done to prevent constructions of any type within 200 m of the riverbanks. Engineering solutions like building of flood embankments, small dams, deepening of the channels may be considered for specific localities. Community awareness should be built up so that people respond effectively to the flooding. Persons living


in the low lying parts of floodplains areas are vulnerable to flood. Some aspects of flood planning and response are:- Issuing warnings at the local levels Participating in flood fighting by organizing mock drill Keep the stocks needed materials prior to flood (Food, Medicine, tarpaulin etc) Facilitating agricultural recovery (agriculture insurance) Planning emergency supplies clean drinking water To conduct trainings on search and rescue for Search and Rescue Teams formed at District,

block and Village level from time to time. Main Mitigation Strategies Mapping of the flood prone areas is a primary step involved in reducing the risk of the

region. Warning can be issued looking into the earlier marked heights of the water levels in case of potential threat. In the coastal areas the tide levels and the land characteristics will determine the submergence areas. Flood hazard mapping will give the proper indication of water flow during floods.

In areas where people already have built their houses, measures should be taken to relocate to better sites so as to reduce vulnerability. No major development should be permitted in the areas which are subjected to high flooding. Important facilities should be built in safe areas.

The buildings should be constructed on an elevated area. If necessary build on platform. They should be wind and water resistant. The communication lines should be installed underground. Providing the community halls as a shelter in vulnerable locations would be an asset.

The plantation of the tress reduces the flood damage. Therefore community should be urged to plant more number of trees.

4. Road Accident

The setting up of a Highway Safety Patrol in the road of Ranchi- Ramgarh- Bokaro, which

will be a specialized division of the highway police to tackle road accidents.


The provision of full time trained fire brigade personnel in at least all the municipalities and provision of adequate signboards, speed breakers and guard stones near the accident prone spots would reduce the road accident in the highway. (NH 33)

Some hospitals along the Ranchi- Ramgarh- Bokaro highway should be upgraded with X-ray machines, blood bank and surgical facilities.

If necessary, bypasses should be constructed wherever the highway passes through densely populated localities.

5. Epidemics

Health department needs to be provided with more water quality monitoring centers for effective reliance of water quality principally during the monsoon months and during flood events. The bleaching powder should be adequately available with all the Gram Panchayats. The PHC and PHSC should be upgraded to include blood bank and surgical facilities. Contingency plan for response should be prepared after identifying the epidemics that are likely to occur in the region. Maps of all the health facilities in the region with an inventory of drugs and vaccines, laboratory set ups, list of number of doctors and supporting staff etc. need to be kept ready and updated at regular intervals. First aid training will help to cope better during the emergency response period for epidemics. Personnel protection through vaccination is an effective mitigation strategy and will protect the persons at risk. 6. Fires

The provision of trained manpower to the fire brigades at all the municipalities is required. All fire tenders should be equipped with wireless sets. The procedural delay for fire engines to move outside the municipal limits should be removed. The coordinating authority for this may be vested with a senior officer in the municipal administration. 7. Lighting

Lightening is a natural phenomenon of the district. Every year people as well as cattle die due to the lighting. Therefore the proper measure needs to be taken to reduce the death toll. If you are in a building it is advisable to stay inside. Stay away from windows, doors,

fireplaces, stoves, metal pipes, sinks and other electrical charge conductors. Unplug TVs, radios and other electrical appliances. Don’t use the phone or other electrical equipment.


If you are outside, seek shelter in a building, cave or depressed area. Lightning typically strikes the tallest item in an area.

If you’re caught in the open, bend down with your feet close together and your head down. Don’t lie flat - by minimizing your contact with the ground you reduce the risk of being electrocuted by a ground charge.

Get off bicycles, motorcycles, and tractors. If you are in a car, stop the car and stay in it. Don’t stop near trees or power lines that could

fall.


Chapter -VI Response Plan

1. Operational direction & coordination 2. Emergency warning & dissemination

When disaster strikes, we may have only a short time to make what might be a life or death decision. We cannot predict exactly where or when they will occur, but we can take precautions to minimize the danger. One of the most important things we can do is to be aware that a danger is present. Most of the injuries and deaths happen to people who are unaware or uninformed. For this reason, it is crucial that we should understand the warning system and disseminate at the right time. For the fastest dissemination of the information a control room at the district office should be opened which will command to the at the block officials.

3. Rapid damage assessment & reporting

Rapid Damage Assessment Team should be set up immediately after the disaster.

Damage assessment procedures are required to avoid litigations and delays in gratuitous relief and compensation, including insurance.

4. Search & rescue

Though it is well said that the community are the first responders during any of the disasters yet the government should form a team of search and rescue who can evacuate the people immediately. The police force should reach to the site with the Dogs which is a valuable component in responding to law enforcement requests for missing people without delay. Dedicated handlers and hard working, well-trained dogs are required in search efforts to be effective in their task. 5. Medical response


During the disaster medical facility becomes the essential thing of the people. A quick response team should be equipped with the first aid so that the patient can be reached to the near by hospital. All the hospitals of the district should be mentioned in the District Disaster Management Plan for the quick medical facilities to the victims 6.

relief supplies including medical care, if required. The recreation of the children must be arranged. Assist local authorities with the assistance of community members to maintain law and
