5 GEERP Development Objectives

The GEERP Development Objectives are to

a) Promote sustainable recovery in the disaster-affected areas; and b) Lay the foundations for sustainable disaster management capacity in Gujarat

The following development outcomes are likely to be achieved in this project:

• Vulnerability reduction through infrastructure built to disaster-resistant standards

• Increased risk awareness and preparedness of communities to natural hazards, through access to more sustainable incomes and enhanced knowledge of hazards and disaster reduction techniques

• Enhanced emergency preparedness and response capacity of responsible entities

GSDMA as the executing agency for the program believes that these objectives will be achieved through various activities and actions initiated by GoG:

a) Promote sustainable recovery in the disaster-affected areas; • Earthquake-affected houses and public buildings are being built, retrofitted,

repaired and strengthened using earthquake-resistant technology. – Over 9.11 lac houses repaired and over 2.01 lac houses have been reconstructed to hazard

resistant construction till date. – Appointment of over 1600 trained engineers to ensure implementation of earthquake

resistant features. – Establishment of a technical audit and quality assurance mechanism in the form of third

party consultant for housing and public infrastructure. 2,78,827 visits have been made to audit most of the reconstructed houses for multi-hazard resistant construction.

– Training of over 29,000 masons & 6,200 engineers for providing technical support in multi-hazard resistant construction.

• Public infrastructure is being restored after incorporating disaster resistant features. – Designing and constructing new infrastructure facilities based on latest technologies – Strengthening existing public infrastructure to incorporate disaster resistant features – Retrofitting of undamaged public buildings are taken up based on hazard resistant

technology.

• Restoration of livelihood. – Restoration of livelihood of over 70000 artisans, 183793 farming units, 18284 industrial

units, 13373 women – Assistance rendered to widows, orphans, and old persons.

b) Lay the foundation for sustainable disaster management capacity in Gujarat • Improving disaster preparedness and emergency response capacity of the

Government – Enactment of Gujarat State Disaster Management Act’ 2003 & formulation of Disaster

Management policy – Preparation of State, District and/Taluka level Disaster Management plans. District level

disaster management plan along with a comprehensive database has been prepared and reviewed for all 25 districts.



– Building a repository of knowledge on various aspects of disaster management. Profiles of 11,354 villages have been entered in IDRN (Integrated Disaster Resource Network). Profiles of 18,327 villages have been entered in SDRN (State Disaster Resource Network).

– Establishment of emergency response centers in Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Bhuj and Baroda planned. The study had commenced in October 2003 and final report has been submitted in March 2005.

– Gujarat Institute of Disaster Management and Institute of Seismological Research have been established.

– Provision of emergency preparedness & response equipments for 100 municipalities. Emergency equipments have been handed over to the Municipal Corporations of Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Surat. Search and rescue equipments are to be provided to Vadodara and Jamnagar Municipal Corporation.

• Reduction of vulnerability through long-term mitigation programs – Initiative for compulsory insurance of reconstructed houses. Insurance drive for all

reconstructed houses (G5) i.e. over 2.10 lacs has been initiated. – Streamlining the issues of building permissions and codes. GDCR has been revised, IS

codes has been made mandatory. – Certification of masons and licensing of engineers. Gujarat Professional Civil Engineers

Bill, 2006 has been passed in the concluded legislative assembly session. Competency based certification of masons program has been launched and till date 145 masons have been certified.

– Revision of syllabus of polytechnic and technical colleges to include seismic engineering, 120 faculty members has been trained thus far on the revised syllabus.

– Syllabus of class eight has been revised to include concepts of disaster management – Up gradation of Seismological Network. Procurement of instruments has been initiated

through GERI. Total of 22 observatories and 40 SMAs will be established /upgraded. – Transfer of knowledge on disaster preparedness and mitigation to the public at large to

enable them to respond to disasters at the community level through various IEC campaigns.

– Community based Disaster Risk Management program with UNDP has been launched for awareness, capacity-building activities. Orientation training programs for Government officials in district and talukas, preparation of information materials, organizing participatory activities, training of doctors, paramedics, training in search and rescue operations and early warning and communication systems are being carried out under this program.

– Formation of Disaster Management Committees and Disaster Management Teams in all the villages of the State.

– Mandatory inclusion of DM program as an agenda in all the Gram Sabhas held periodically in all the 18000 villages of the state.
