Venue: Hotel Chanakya Bir Chand Patel Marg, Patna – 800001, Bihar
Training Dates: 28th April, 2011
Duration: 9:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M
Context
India as a country is highly prone to many disasters like drought, flash floods, cyclones, avalanches, earthquakes etc which lead to massive losses of life and property. Floods are the most common natural disaster in India. Almost all of India is flood-prone, and extreme precipitation events, such as flash floods and torrential rains, have become increasingly common in central India over the past several decades, coinciding with rising temperatures. Similarly many other disasters like cyclones, earthquakes and droughts have caused us enormous destruction and created human destruction in the past.
Though it is not possible to completely avoid the natural disasters, but the sufferings can be minimized if we all start learning how to live with it. Creating proper awareness of the likely disasters and its impact by being prepared, effectively using the available disaster preparedness and management system, effective collaboration between state authorities and the humanitarian community and integrating information technology tools can actually make a difference and fill the operational gap that exists. All these efforts could only be effective if taken at the national level, state level and ultimately to the community level who are the immediate responders.
Like any other disaster prone states, Bihar which is a multi disaster prone state often encounters several natural disasters like floods, earthquake & draught. 23 districts out of 38 administrative districts face floods every year as per the Indian Red Cross, Bihar State Branch – Patna. We cannot rule out major earthquakes too in the coming future as the 2008 Kosi flood has built up immense sediments in the north Bihar plain which may trigger earthquake anytime. The extent of the natural disasters or the loss could be lessened only when the stakeholders and the government collectively create the awareness of the prevention & coping mechanisms and system available to respond to such disasters.
Objectives
The principle objectives of the workshops are
· To discuss and share experiences on local responsibilities and expectations
· To enhance capacity of district, commune level disaster management authorities on Planning for Preparedness and Emergency Management and in forming Community Emergency Task Force
