16^th June 2014 – One Year of Uttarakhand and Himachal Disaster

16^th June, 2013 Uttarakhand, Himachal and adjoining areas was been hit by torrential rain, landslides and flash floods. The erratic weather conditions were attributed to early monsoons in Northern India due to which early warnings were not provided and people were affected adversely. River Ganges and its major tributaries of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi were swelled up, causing widespread destruction downstream. Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh, received the highest rainfall in 20 years.

Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN), implemented by Responsenet Development Services, created under the Corporate Task Force of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) organized regular multiple dispatch of Relief Material to various flood affected areas and camps where relief agencies were assessing, coordinating and implementing relief efforts.

CDRN was engaged in Emergency Response and simultaneously worked on Rehabilitation Plan for the affected in Uttarakhand, India with communities affected and local relief agencies for the reconstruction, rehabilitation and development initiatives post disaster for Uttarakhand & Himachal. We worked towards a comprehensive coordinated response for near term and long term appeal to join hands and provide relief to the affected immediately and later for rehabilitation needs. Post Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA) with focus areas included: 

Protection against Trafficking	Shelter & Clothing	Food	Water
Sanitation	Medical Health	Education	Livelihood

  

CDRN Emergency Response

Emergency Response Dispatches were coordinated in two processes i.e., collections and dispatch to the nearest accessible regions and then locally thereof through field officers to reach the last mile where vehicles were not reaching. This does mean that individuals covered large distances on foot to deliver support.  Due to un-favourable weather conditions, the accessibility was un- predictable but we worked towards a hub for timely deliveries to help those that need it the most.

About Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN)

Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN) is an online humanitarian relief management system that supports relief and emergency response agencies, government entities, as well as the private sector to participate actively in post-disaster relief efforts within and across India. 

Implemented by Responsenet Development  the CDRN was created under the auspices of the National Management Disaster Authority in 2009.

The CDRN platform provides critical access and real time information on supplies and services, financial and volunteer contributions required by aid agencies that operate on the ground in the aftermath of a disaster. The CDRN then matches these requirements through a transparent online 

platform to in-kind donations on offer by private sector organizations, keen to assist in emergency humanitarian relief situations.

This way the CDRN forms a vital life-saving bridge between industry, humanitarian relief aid agencies and government at a national level – bringing the right aid to the right people at the right time.  Such a platform ensures that relief implementation partners and government agencies can take immediate actions and deliver high quality aid to affected areas within India. So far, the CDRN has responded to 12 disasters, as well as other humanitarian situations. Its efforts have facilitated assistance to over 65,000 disaster-affected communities across 12 states in India, with the total valuation of needs matched with actual offers being close to INR 3,50,00,000. Ultimately the CDRN aims to rebuild the lives, livelihoods and security of crisis-affected communities through its platform.

At present there are over 6,000 suppliers and 2,300 relief agencies providing real time information on relief materials and needs at a community level. For more information about CDRN please visit: www.cdrn.org.in
