Mumbai: Nearly 200 people have been evacuated from coastal areas, warnings have been sent out to those in low-lying regions and schools have advised students to stay at home as India's financial capital braces for a massive 5.5 metre high tidal wave, billed as the highest in 100 years, to lash it Friday afternoon.
The high tide is expected to hit Mumbai and the surrounding Konkan region at 2.05 p.m. The waters will ebb only after three to four hours, met officials said.In the past two days, as waves measuring 4.85 and 5.1 metres lashed Mumbai, civic and disaster management authorities evacuated people -- mostly shanty dwellers -- from vulnerable areas like Colaba, Cuffe Parade, Andheri, Jogeshwari and even parts of neighbouring Thane.The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has issued warnings to people in low-lying areas to watch out for the gigantic tide Friday and take adequate precautions.On Thursday, sea water rushed into several buildings in Cuffe Parade, Worli, Dadar, Prabhadevi, Andheri, Juhu, Khar and Malad.Even mayor Shubha Raul's official bungalow at Shivaji Park in Dadar was not spared. The huge waves knocked down a compound wall.In Thane, the district adjacent to Mumbai, waterlogging attributed to the high tide was reported from residential areas in places like Uttan, Palghar, Boisar and Dahanu but there have been no casualties so far.Some schools have advised students to stay at home in view of the high tide, but there has been no official announcement of closure by the government.However, for many Mumbaikars, the tides offered a rare view of a natural phenomenon after clouds obscured the solar eclipse Wednesday.Thousands of people excitedly saw the tides from a safe distance at places like Colaba, Marine Drive, Girgaum Chowpatty, Worli Sea-Face, Bandra Bandstand, Juhu Beach, Gorai Beach and Marve Beach yesterday. Today, greater numbers are expected.Crowds had assembled even at the Thane Creek and commuters were seen craning their necks to see the swirling waters as the trains crossed the railway bridges at Bhayander Creek.Last week, the MCGM had inserted big and small advertisements in newspapers, warning people of the potential damage that could be wreaked by the high tides and contact details for emergency services.As many as 11 hotlines have been established and 34 rain gauges have been installed from where round-the-clock information is being collected. Control rooms have been set up at all the 24 civic wards.Officials said that MCGM would also monitor the situation in flood-prone areas through CCTVs.

Orissa Flood Update
Time: 12.30 PM; Date: 23rd July 2009
Situation Report
No flood in state
Due to very less amount of rainfall received in last 24 hours across the state in average, improved the situation in state allying quite less fears of floods.
The western part of the state received widespread rain on Wednesday, but that is not enough to cause flood like situation. There was some speculation of medium level flooding in Mahanadi river system as Hirakud Dam Authority on Wednesday evening opened 30 sluice gates to discharge the surplus water. Yesterday, the reservoir crossed 621 feet of water level as against its danger mark of 630 feet after receiving water from Chhatisgarh region in upper catchments areas, which received a rainfall of 55 mm in last 24 hours.
But, there is almost no chance of water level cross the danger mark in Naraj and Munduli as it is flowing well below the danger level.
Water level receded in major rivers
As the rain stopped in the state, the water level in the major rivers has receded drastically. Even, there was a no moon day on Wednesday; prediction of high tide might prevent water release in sea, which is not happened.
Situation improved in districts
Situation improved in the areas, which are badly water logged and marooned in Ganjam, Nayagarh and Cuttack, because of flash flood and breaches in tributary canals locally. The three districts have received no rainfall in last 24 hours and water receded considerably from the area.
Receding water raises fear of diseases
Ganjam
Drinking water crisis: As many as 123 villages in Bhanjanagar, Belaghunta and Jagannath Prasad blocks are facing acute shortage of drinking water. District administration has started distributing water pouches through RWS&S Dept.
Heath crisis: Around 20 villages are affected with diarrhoea at Angargaon area and 10 people are suffering from other water borne diseases due to lack of proper drinking water. However, the district health officials have taken precautionary measures by deploying 3 medical teams in vulnerable areas and trying to prevent the outbreak. While contacted, Mr. Ratnakar Behera, CDMO informed that heath workers have advised people to drink only boiled water.
Koraput
The torrential rain has triggered fear of malaria in 16 GPs under Dasmantpur block. Meanwhile one died and several people admitted in the nearby PHCs and CHCs, district sources confirmed. The health scenario may become grave if the cut off road communication in the block is not restored at the earliest, as the block headquarter has remained cut off from Koraput town due to the Khajuriguda bridge and approach roads to Padisil bridge have been washed away by the flash flood recently.
Khurda
As many as 50 people have been admitted in the district headquarter hospital suffering from diarrhoea in last 24 hours. Situation in Benupr village under Balianta block is also worsening as more than 20 people are suffering from diarrhoea and admitted in the local CHC.
Cuttack
About 10 people are suffering from diarrhoea in Ward No. 53 under Cuttack Minicipal Corporation and admitted in the SCB Medical College & Hospital. The CMC authority rushed a medical team to the area for distributing medicine and ORS pouches.

CDRN responds to Assam Flood affected with clean drinking water
CDRN responds to the Assam Floods.
The breach in the North Lakhimpur district has affected more 86 villages with a population of more than 98,600. The objective of Corporate Disaster Resource Network's (CDRN) visit to Guwahati was to assess the needs of the various organizations working in the affected region and to bring information to corporate users on the flood situation in Assam so that the needs can be addressed with supplies and donations.
Aquatabs donated 16000 water purifying tablets for the Flood Relief operation in Assam through CDRN to Indo Global Social Service Society (IGSSS)and NEDSF. IGSSS is distributing these tablets in the affected Gram Panchayats of Matmora, Dangdhara, Kherkata and Dimoguri. CDRN trained the organizations on the usage of the tablets after adequate training from Aqatabs. According to Vijay Malik from Aquatabs, “We would like to ensure that people get safe drinking water and their problems should not aggravate. We would like to reach out to more and more people.”
The donation of 16,000 tablets can purify 320,000 litres of water and according to estimates based on the rapid analysis of the affected population by the IGSSS volunteers, each family needs 10 litres of drinking water everyday and the tablets will be sufficient for providing 3 days of drinking water supply to approximately 10,600 families. Each of these tablets can purify 20 litres of water and can be used in any type of container. These tablets also have a longer shelf-life of 5 years. IGSSS has further placed an order for 100,000 more Aquatab tablets.

Hirakud to open more 5 gates on Saturday
Hirakud dam authorities are all set to open 5 more gates of the reservoir to divert flood water. The incessant downpour in Chhatisgarh in last 48 hours raised the water level at 614.19 feet even after opening of 5 gates to release flood water on Friday afternoon as against its danger level of 630 feet. The inflow of water into the reservoir on Friday night was recorded 219831 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 183721 cusec per second.
Five sluice gates opened in Hirakud on Friday
Hirakud Dam project authorities have released water from the reservoir to river Mahanadi on Friday at 4.30 pm for the first time during this monsoon by opening 5 gates.
The Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) of Northern Division Jamil Ahmed Khan opened the first gate after the rituals. IG of Police YB Khurania, Sambalpur Collector Pradipta Kumar Patnaik and Bargarh Collector SC Padhi were present on the occasion.
’As per the rule curve we have now more water in the reservoir. Mahanadi bed below is almost empty due to scanty rainfall in down-stream. This gives us the opportunity to release the extra water from the reservoir,’ said JB Mahapatra, the superintendent engineer (SE) of Hirakud dam project. ‘We will maintain the level at 600-605 feet up to the first week of August. And the present situation is no worrying for us even as the water level touched 613. 47 feet due to incessant rainfall in the upper catchments from 13th to 15th July,’ said Mohapatra.
The inflow of water into the reservoir was recorded 267940 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 35233 cusec per second.
Hirakud Dam
Hirakud Dam is built across the Mahanadi River, about 15 km from Sambalpur. Built in 1956, the dam is the world's largest earthen dam. Behind the dam extends a lake, 55 km long. Hirakud Dam is one of the longest dams in the world, about 16 miles (26 km) in length. It was the first major multipurpose river valley project started after India's independence.

In the upper drainage basin of the Mahanadi River, centered on the Chattisgarh Plain, periodic droughts contrast with the situation in the lower delta region where floods may damage crops. The dam was constructed to help alleviate the problems by creating a reservoir and controlling river flow through the drainage system. The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants. The dam helps control floods in the Mahanadi delta and irrigates 7,500,000 hectares of land. Hydroelectricity is also generated. The Hirakud Dam regulates 83,400 km² (32,200 mi²) of Mahanadi's drainage. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 5.818 km³ with gross of 8.136 km³.
The project provides 1,556 km² of kharif and 1,084 km² of rabi irrigation in industries of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Bolangir, and Subarnpur. The water released by the power plant irrigates another 4360 km² of CCA in Mahanadi delta. The dam can generate up to 307.5 MW of electrical power through its two power plants at Burla, on the dam's right bank and Chiplima, 22 km downstream from the dam. In addition, the project provides flood protection to 9500 km² of delta area in district of Cuttack and Puri.

In the upper drainage basin of the Mahanadi River, centered on the Chattisgarh Plain, periodic droughts contrast with the situation in the lower delta region where floods may damage crops. The dam was constructed to help alleviate the problems by creating a reservoir and controlling river flow through the drainage system. The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants. The dam helps control floods in the Mahanadi delta and irrigates 7,500,000 hectares of land. Hydroelectricity is also generated. The Hirakud Dam regulates 83,400 km² (32,200 mi²) of Mahanadi's drainage. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 5.818 km³ with gross of 8.136 km³.
The project provides 1,556 km² of kharif and 1,084 km² of rabi irrigation in industries of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Bolangir, and Subarnpur. The water released by the power plant irrigates another 4360 km² of CCA in Mahanadi delta. The dam can generate up to 307.5 MW of electrical power through its two power plants at Burla, on the dam's right bank and Chiplima, 22 km downstream from the dam. In addition, the project provides flood protection to 9500 km² of delta area in district of Cuttack and Puri.

Hirakud to open more 5 gates on Saturday
Hirakud dam authorities are all set to open 5 more gates of the reservoir to divert flood water. The incessant downpour in Chhatisgarh in last 48 hours raised the water level at 614.19 feet even after opening of 5 gates to release flood water on Friday afternoon as against its danger level of 630 feet. The inflow of water into the reservoir on Friday night was recorded 219831 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 183721 cusec per second.
Five sluice gates opened in Hirakud on Friday
Hirakud Dam project authorities have released water from the reservoir to river Mahanadi on Friday at 4.30 pm for the first time during this monsoon by opening 5 gates.
The Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) of Northern Division Jamil Ahmed Khan opened the first gate after the rituals. IG of Police YB Khurania, Sambalpur Collector Pradipta Kumar Patnaik and Bargarh Collector SC Padhi were present on the occasion.
’As per the rule curve we have now more water in the reservoir. Mahanadi bed below is almost empty due to scanty rainfall in down-stream. This gives us the opportunity to release the extra water from the reservoir,’ said JB Mahapatra, the superintendent engineer (SE) of Hirakud dam project. ‘We will maintain the level at 600-605 feet up to the first week of August. And the present situation is no worrying for us even as the water level touched 613. 47 feet due to incessant rainfall in the upper catchments from 13th to 15th July,’ said Mohapatra.
The inflow of water into the reservoir was recorded 267940 cusec per second, while the outflow of water was recorded 35233 cusec per second.

TOT on Community Based Disaster Risk Management
RedR India
Training of Trainers on
Community Based Disaster Risk Management
Date & Venue: 14th to 18th July, 2009, at BAIF Pune
Community based disaster Risk management addressed through a project approach and perspective has not take us far. It should be promoted as a culture, process and conscious practice integral to the lives of the communities.
Background
The Asian tsunami, followed by the hurricanes in America, the earthquakes in South Asia and China, the cyclones SIDR and Nargis, resulted in the loss of more than 200,000 lives and, property and infrastructure losses worth hundreds of billions of USD.
Hard-won development gains are often lost due to disasters, which also take a heavy toll on security, dignity & livelihoods of the affected population. The resources available on earth are becoming scarcer with an ever-increasing population that frequently exposes the vulnerable populace to greater disaster risks, despite the increased disaster response capacities. Rapidly changing demographics, socio-economic patterns & technological conditions coupled with unplanned urbanization, climatic variability & ‘new’ epidemics like HIV-AIDS all underline an imminent threat to sustainable development, particularly in the third world countries.
Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) is a process, which leads to locally appropriate and locally "owned" strategies for disaster risk reduction. The changing nature of hazards and the increasing incidence of disasters have created a greater need for Community Based Disaster Risk Management focused interventions.
The increasing numbers of CBDRM projects in different parts of the world require trained human resources with updated knowledge and perspective along with the skills of applying participatory methodologies. In 2008 RedR India responded to this demand by reaching out to more than 300 CBDRM practitioners representing more than 100 NGOs and over 500 community members. It was often expressed by the various stakeholders and partners that there is a need for trainers, who can help grassroots workers and community leaders undertake the challenges of institutionalizing DRR through capacity building, technical support, hand holding and facilitation.
Course Objectives:
In response to this learning need and to cater to the need for trainers on CBDRM, RedR India is undertaking the course TOT on CBDRM by the end of which the participants will be able to:
· Describe the nature and types of the trainings required to facilitate a CBDRM process.
· Elaborate and apply the principles of adult learning and the roles of a trainer as a facilitator.
· Apply and list the learning needs assessment at community level.
· Practice or demonstrate facilitation skills to apply participatory training methodology.
· Develop context specific training designs.
· Develop learning and media material to facilitate the trainings.
· Evaluate community based training programmes.
Who is the course for?
This course is open to GOs, INGOs, UN, Red Cross, NGOs and, development and emergency personnel who have experience of working in the humanitarian and development sectors and are involved in CBDRM initiatives.
It is also important for the participants to have either attended some CBDRM course in the past or have experience of working in a CBDRM programme.
Please note that this course will not deliberate on the details of CBDRM, rather the course will help participants to enhance their capacities with regard to becoming effective facilitators in the CBDRM process.

blog ## for search indexer, do not remove -->NEW DELHI - In India as elsewhere, the challenge of getting aid to disaster survivors often boils down to supply and demand.
Relief workers identify specific needs - tents, say, or generators. They then have to scrabble around for suppliers, negotiate prices and figure out how to get the goods where they're needed in time to make a difference.
Until recently, the process has often been ad hoc and slow. But now an online matchmaking service promises to link aid groups with local firms best placed to deliver the goods quickly and cheaply.
"It's about providing the right aid to the right people in the right time," Kuldip Nar, managing director of the Corporate Disaster Network (CDRN) initiative, told AlertNet.
"This will mean relief will reach affected populations quicker as time will be saved by aid agencies that have to look for such items locally or overseas and these items will be made available at discounted prices."
India is considered one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, vulnerable to all kinds of natural hazards including droughts, floods, earthquakes and cyclones.
The scale and intensity of such disasters often take a heavy toll on communities, leaving them dependent on the government and humanitarian agencies for their most basic needs.
CDRN allows government officials and aid workers to feed in real-time information on the most pressing requirements. Then companies working in fields ranging from telecommunications and transport to healthcare and food can tap into the system and respond.
The network, which is supported by India's National Disaster Management Authority and a civil society group called CSO Partners, also lets firms make cash donations and supply skilled volunteers during emergencies.
International organisations such as Global Hand and Global Impact have long acted as brokers between the private sector and humanitarian groups, but CDRN bills itself as the first of its kind in the developing world.
According to Nar, its chief point of difference is that it lets relief workers source all their materials locally, saving time and money and helping boost the national economy.
He said there were plans to set up a similar initiative in Afghanistan and possibly in other countries in Asia.
Udyama, a local aid agency based in the disaster-prone eastern Indian state of Orissa, registered on CDRN earlier this year.
"We have managed to source 20,000 tarpaulin sheets and 20,000 tents through the CDRN," said Pradeep Mahapatra, team leader at Udyama, which focuses on building sustainable rural livelihoods as well as providing post-disaster relief.
"Normally we have to go to individual donors, which takes time and does not always yield results, but the CDRN is easier as you just feed in what you need and then you get an email telling you someone can help."
Since it was launched in November, 600 companies and business federations and 146 non-governmental organisations have registered on the site.
Companies include Britannia, a maker of biscuits and cereals; Eureka Forbes, a supplier of water purifiers; J.K. Generator, which produces power back-up systems; and B.D. Industries, which makes plastic products such as food containers.
Registered aid agencies include British relief agency ActionAid and environmental group WWF, as well as small, local organisations that often lack the contacts to source relief materials on their own.
Nar said interest in the network was growing as companies sought to boost their corporate social responsibility credentials and tap into new markets for their products.
