DISASTER MANAGEMENT

• Jagatsinghpur district is highly vulnerable to multiple disasters. Due to its sub-tropical littoral location, the district is prone to tropical cyclones, storm surges and tsunamis. Its densely populated coastal plains are the alluvial deposits of its river systems. The rivers in these areas with heavy load of silt have very little carrying capacity, resulting in frequent floods, only to be compounded by breached embankments. Though a large part of the district comes under Earthquake Risk Zone -II (Low Damage Risk Zone), the Brahmani Mahanadi graben and their deltaic areas come under Earthquake Risk Zone -III (Moderate Damage Risk Zone) covering almost the entire district. Besides these natural hazards, human – induced disasters such as accidents, lightening, fire, etc, vector borne disasters such as epidemics, animal diseases and pest attacks and industrial / chemical disasters add to human suffering.The District Jagatsinghpur has a history of recurring natural disasters. While the coastal part of Jagatsinghpur are exposed to floods and cyclones, western Jagatsinghpur is somewhat prone to droughts; a large section of the District is also prone to earthquakes. In addition, the District is also affected by disasters like heat waves, epidemics, lightening,, road accidents etc. The history of disasters substantiates the fact that about 80% of the District is prone to one or more forms of natural disasters. Jagatsinghpur has a history of recurring natural disasters.The two successive cyclones in October 1999, the severe cyclone which hit Jagatsinghpur coast and the Super Cyclone damaged the infrastructure of the District and disrupted public life. With millions of trees uprooted during the super cyclone, the District, especially the coastal belt has become extremely vulnerable. With 80% of annual rainfall concentrated over 3 months, the District is highly vulnerable to floods. High population density, encroachment on the flood plains, poor socio – economic condition, weak infrastructure and mud and thatched houses increase the vulnerability. Jagatsinghpur is always vulnerable to cyclones in April – May and September – November. Once every few decades a super cyclone strikes Jagatsinghpur. Recent Super Cyclone that hit Jagatsinghpur in the last Century were in 1942, 1971 and 1999. The Super Cyclone of 1999 killed about 10,000 and traumatized millions who survived its wrath.The District of Jagatsinghpur in the State is situated in 190.58’ to 200.23’ latitude in the north and 860.3’ to 860 45’ longitudes in the east. It is surrounded by Cuttack District in the West, Kendarapara in the East and Puri district in the south. The geographical area of the district is 1759 Sq. Kms. Mahanadi and its tributary Paika in the North; Devi in South; Kathjori and Biluakhai in the South West and Bay of Bengal cover the East.
  As per 2011 Census, total population of the district is 11,36,971 out of which 5,77,865 are male and 5,59,106 are female.

Contingency Plan for Chemical Hazards:

• Industrial hazards pose a threat to the people and life support system that arise from mass production of goods and services. When these threats exceed human coping capabilities or the absorptive capacity of the environmental systems, they give rise to industrial disaster. Industrial hazards can occur at any stage in the production process including extraction, processing, manufacturing, transportation, storage, use and disposal.
  On the whole the cause of industrial hazards and diseases are malfunctions, failures or unanticipated side effects of technological systems. However, industrial hazard is a blend of industrial systems, people and the environment. The possible impacts of industrial and chemical accidents are loss of life, loss of limbs, loss of eye-site or hearing power, burns and injuries leading surgical treatment and exposure to toxic materials. With proper training loss could be minimized and eliminated in all these areas. In this context the strategic location of industries handling hazardous chemicals at the port town of Paradeep has been looked into consideration.
