1.2 BRIEF HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF RAHA :

Raha is a small town in Nagaon district of Assam , situated near the National Highway 37. The river Kolong and Kapili flows near Raha . Perhaps Raha was a part of the ancient Pragjyotish . It is mentioned in Pillar Inscription of Samudrgupta that Kamrupa and Davaka was neighbouring state of the Guptas . It was the temporary capital of the Kamata king Ratnapal alias Jongal Balohu . Testimonies of this fact can still be seen in the Raha area .

1925 THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

The Kapila River was the boundary between the Ahoms in North and Kacharies in the South . During the reign of Susenpha or Pratap Singha , tradition of appointing a border out post officer , in the area begun . And the name of the border out post was ' Raha ' and the assigned its first officer was known as ' Rahiyal Barua ' , belonged to the family of Momai Tamuly Barbarua , the village organizer . Pratap Singha simultaneously opened two borders out post along with the Raha Chaki namely at the mouth of Jagi and Kajulikukh respectively in order to get latest information the about movement of Jayantia Raja and Demoria Raja , and the names of these two outpost officers were called as Jagiyal Gohain and Kajolimukhiya Gohain , respectively.

During the time of Suhungmung or Dihingia Raja , war between Ahom and the Kachari started and Kachari were defeated and their king Datchung escaped but he was killed in later . Perhaps during the time of Suhungmung border out post was set up at Raha and Kajolimukh for time being . On the basis of this fact Mr. J. P. Wade assumed Raha Chaki and Kajomukh chaki established in the year 1527. But this fact might not true as the Raha Chaki was established in 1536 , that is , after the Kacharies were defeated and the entire tract between Dhansiri and Kolong River of Nagaon were annexed to the Ahom territory . Perhaps the cause of establishment of Raha chaki for, Pratap Singha , was to check the growing strength of the Kacharies . Pratap Singha had created two new posts- Barbarua and the Barphukan and the area laying in Raha , Jagi , and Kajolimukh was kept under the charge of Barphukan .

Atthat point of time Raha chaki became a strategic border post not only for the Kacharies but also for the Jayantiyas . The Rahiyal Barua of Raha Chaki had played a significant role from the time of its creation by Pratap Singha ( 1603 1641) to till the time of Phulaguri Dhewa ( 1861 ) . It is not clear who was the First Rahyial Barua , selected by Pratap Singha or history silent about this .

Teleka Handique was appointed by Jayadhaj Singha ( 1648-1663 ) and in relation the former was his father in low . And during this period the importance of Raha Chaki increased . According to the Report of Moft Mills , the name the revenue officer of the Raha area in the 1851-1852 was Sabhodhar Barua . It is no doubt that this officer was belonged to the family of Rahiyal Barua .

In the Phulaguri Dhewa ( 1861 ) , one Sambhodhar Barua of Raha was actively involved and perhaps he was belonged to the family of the Rahiyal Barua. There was matrimonial alliance between the two families of Rahiyal Barua and royal family of Tupakuchi . There was a famous thaan named as Burhagohain than near the residence of Rahiyal Barua . Purnananda Burha Gohain had granted devottar land to this than . The idol of this thaan used to bring out during Gohain UliuaMela .

Raha town is situated on the flat alluvial plain which slopes towards south and south - west where the old beds of the Kalong and Kapili River are still in existence . Many small beels like Ranthali beel , Nimajan Dubi , Hatibandha Dubi , ponds and marches surrounded the town as well as the Master Plan Area.

The land is alluvial and loamy and consists of clay and sand . The cultivable land is scattered either side of the beels as well as the surrounding villages nearest to the town. In considering the high land as well as the physical features of the surrounding areas the Town is growing mainly towards North of Barapujia Road , towards Guwahati of the National Highway - 37 , towards Nagaon of the National Highway -37 . Some developments have also taken place along the major roads towards the Chaparmukh Railway Station .

1.5 CITY INFLUENCE AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDING SETTLEMENT PATTERN , RURAL- URBAN SCENARIO , HISTORY OF THE PHYSICAL GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF RAHA TOWN :

Rural-Urban fringe is an important concept in settlement geography . The rural - urban fringe is the boundary zone outside the urban area proper where rural and urban land uses intermix . It is the area where the city meets the 1927 THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

countryside . It is an area of transition from agricultural and other rural land uses to urban use . Located well within the urban sphere of influence the fringe is characterized by a wide variety of land use including dormitory settlements housing middle - income commuters who work in the central urban area . Over time the characteristics of the fringe change from largely rural to largely urban . Suburbanization takes place at the municipal boundary of rural- urban fringe .

The main economy of the Raha rural - urban fringe is agriculture base . The surrounding small villages were also influencing the main urban centre . The trading of agricultural finished goods produce in the rural - urban fringe area was taking place with the main urban center .

While considering the agro - based economy of the rural - urban fringe , secondary and other allied services have to be initiated to boast up the economic growth of the main urban center as well as the whole Raha planning area.

The main reason of low - profile economy of the town is that a smaller number of people are engaged in secondary, quaternary and other allied services .

Activities related to trade and commerce and transportation alone comprise only 32% of the total employment of the town . It is expected that employment related to transportation and trade & Commerce is going to increase further after the road linkage is established with the town and surrounding villages .

Lack of infrastructure is also responsible in a substantial manner for economic and industrial development of the Raha town . If adequate urban infrastructure such as efficient transportation network , well planned market etc. is provided then the town cannot only upgrade its economic base but also act as a centre for industrial activities of the whole Raha planning region.

Therefore , the prime objective of the development strategy of Raha town will be to bring positive development in the town by improving existing physical infrastructure of the town , so as to encourage more and more people to participation in the secondary and tertiary sector or employment . This will generate more employment in the town , strengthen the local bodies as well as improve the socio - economic condition of the people .

It is observed that different type of developmental works already come up in nearby villages and potential for future development of the region . Presently , the town is growing mainly towards North of Barapujia Road , towards Guwahati of the National Highway - 37 and towards Nagaon of the National Highway -37 . Some developments have also taken place along the major roads towards the Chaparmukh Railway Station .

1.6 CONCEPT OF MASTER PLAN :

A master plan is a dynamic long - term planning document that provides a conceptual layout to guide future growth and development . Master planning is about making the connection between buildings , social settings , and their surrounding environments . A master plan includes analysis , recommendations , and proposals for a site's population , economy, housing , transportation, community facilities , and land use . It is based on public input , surveys , planning initiatives , existing development , physical characteristics , and social and economic conditions .

Social Harmony

Economic Vibrancy

Heritage Conservation

Green Transportation

Energy Efficiency

Master Plan

Environmental Protection Waste Management

Water

Management

1.6.1 MASTER PLANNING CAN ASSUME SOME OR ALL OF THESE ROLES :

Develop a phasing and implementation schedule and identify priorities for action:

Act as a framework for regeneration and attract private sector investment .

Conceptualize and shape the three -dimensional urban environment .

Define public , semiprivate , and private spaces and public amenities .

Determine the mix of uses and their physical relationship.

Engage the local community and act as builder of consensus .

As city regeneration initiatives are generally long - term propositions , it is important to consider the master plan as a dynamic document that can be altered based on changing project conditions over time .

Master plans can have an important role in determining the shape of the urban environment . If not well conceived , they can lead to problems in the future . All of these issues could have been addressed well in advance as part of the master plan.

1929 THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

The proposals for development should be environmentally sustainable . Master Plan is based on inclusive planning . It considers all sections of people in society in development proposals and focuses on affordability . Master plan gives restrictions on ecologically sensitive areas , on heritage sites and traditional built up areas and gives special norms for these places . Master Plan leads to a balanced growth of the city . It prevents concentration of a particular activity at one place and takes into account efficient distribution of facilities , infrastructure , networks and housing and follows neighborhood concept of development .

1.6.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN :

The main aims and objectives for preparation of Raha Master Plan are as follows;

(a) To improve the existing conditions of all facilities services of Raha Master Plan Area and to develop all the urban infrastructures for a estimated population of 84071 by 2045 .

(b) To integrate the development of various activities of Raha town with the adjoining areas .

(c) To functional distribute of the work centers and residential areas so as to minimize the travel distances and increase efficient functioning of various activities .

(d) To design a safe , easy and speedy circulation system so as to achieve an efficient transportation network for movement of goods and passengers .

(

e) To accelerate the economic growth by increasing economic activities like industries , services and trade and commerce etc.

(f) Harmonious judicious utilization of land to ensure compact urban development .

(h) Ensure urban environment by improvement of infrastructure facilities .

1.7 NEED OF A MASTER PLAN FOR RAHA TOWN :

A master plan or a development plan or a town plan may be defined as a general plan for the future layout of a city showing both the existing and proposed Land use plan . A master plan is prepared either for improvement of an old city or for a new town to be developed on a virgin soil .

A master plan is a blueprint for the future . It is a comprehensive document , long - range in its view that is intended to guide development in the township for the next 20 to 25 years .

It helps in restricting the haphazard and unplanned growth , arranges the pattern of a town in such a way so as to satisfy the present requirements without introduction of future improvements by the coming generations . It also aims at intelligent and economic spending of the public funds for achieving welfare of the inhabitants in respect of amenity , convenience and health .

1930

THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

On the other hand Master Plan also serves as a guide to the planning body for making any recommendations for public improvement . It removes the defects of uncoordinated physical growth of the various components of a town due to the fact that it considers the entire city area or town as planning and development entity.

To check the haphazard and unplanned growth of the town which have come up due to over- crowding of population such as acute shortage of houses , traffic congestion , inadequate open spaces and insufficiency in public amenities etc. to incorporate the unforeseen development and arranges the pattern of township have led to the thinking of Preparation of GIS based Master Plan for Raha town.

DEMOGRAPHY

The scientific or more specifically statistical study of population , its size , density , distribution and growth are known as demography. The study of population and its relating characteristics are the basic factor for long range planning works in a town or a city . The study of change in the population and its distribution and composition are also enabling to force the growth of the urban area . The important demographic aspects like housing facilities , urban infrastructure development both for present and future should be thoroughly studied during the preparation of any development plan.

An analysis of demographic features like growth of palpation , its distribution & composition etc. is absolutely necessary to assess the various civic needs like housing facilities , urban infrastructure and other basic services and the amenities . These important aspects of demography both present and future have been thoroughly studied at the time of preparation of Raha Master Plan

2.1 GROWTH OF POPULATION :

To better understand the trend of growth of population within Raha Master Plan Area, population had been calculated from the year 1951 Census .

2.8 POPULATION PROJECTION :

Population projections are attempts to show how the human population living today will change in the future . These projections are an important input to forecasts of the population's impact on this planet and humanity's future well- being . Models of population growth take trends in human development , and apply projections into the future . These models use trend - based - assumptions about how populations will respond to economic , social and technological forces to understand how they will affect fertility and mortality , and thus population growth.

Population projection is a scientific / mathematical attempt to peep into the future population scenario , conditioned by making certain assumptions using data to the past available at the point of time .

It is mandatory for Government policy makers and planners to determine the future demand for basic human needs such as food , water , education , health , energy , and other services and to forecast future demography characteristics .

The population projection of Raha Master Plan area separately for Municipal area and rural area has been done by utilizing the maximum possible accuracy. Geometric progression method has been used to determine the future projected population of Raha Master Plan Area.

ECONOMIC BASE AND EMPLOYMENT :

The economic base deals with how a community earns its living . It consists ofthat proportion of employment and income generated in a local community that determines the overall level of production . The growth , decline or stagnation of the local community rests upon the basic economic activity , which goes beyond local needs .

There are several measures of economic activity , but employment and income are the most commonly used in actual case studies . Information about employment and income values are the easiest to find at the county level .

Employment comprises all persons of working age who during a specified brief period , such as one week or one day , were in the following categories of paid employment ( whether at work or with a job but not at work) ; or self- employment (whether at work or with an enterprise but not at work) .

The working- age population is the population above the legal working age , but for statistical purposes it comprises all persons above a specified minimum age threshold for which an inquiry on economic activity is made .

The classification by economic activity refers to the main activity of the establishment in which a person worked during the reference period . The branch of economic activity of a person does not depend on the specific duties or functions of the person's job , but on the characteristics of the economic

3.1 FORMAL SECTOR EMPLOΥΜΕΝΤ :

Formal sectors represent all jobs with specific working hours and regular wages and the worker's job is assured . The workers are employed by the government , state or private sector enterprises . It is a licensed organization and is liable to pay taxes . It includes large - scale operations such as banks and other corporations .

From the raw data and T & CP , Nagaon survey team report it is found that out of the total working population in Raha town area only about 40 % populations are engaged in the formal sector of employment .

1941 THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

3.2 INFORMAL SECTOR EMPLOYMENT :

Employees are considered to have informal jobs if their employment relationship is , in law or in practice , not subject to national labour legislation , income taxation , social protection or entitlement to certain employment benefits (advance notice of dismissal , severance pay , paid annual or sick leave , etc. ) . The underpinning reasons may be the non - declaration of the jobs or the employees ; casual jobs or jobs of a short duration ; jobs with hours of work or wages below a specified threshold ( e.g. for social security contributions ) ; or lack of application of law and regulation in practice . In the case of own - account workers and employers , the informal employment status of the job is determined by the informal sector nature of the enterprise . Employers (with hired workers ) and own- account worker ( without hired workers ) are considered to be informal when their economic units belong to the informal sector . All contributing family workers are classified as having informal employment , irrespective of whether they work in formal or informal sector enterprises .

It is observed that some encroachments on the both side of the footpath by the illegal vendors , which acutely rise the traffic congestion at Raha Barapujia road and Raha Main bazar road .

Proposed LAP (Local Area Project)

The function of a local area plan is to take a detailed look at a specific area , particularly areas which require urban renewal or where large - scale development is expected, identifying and analyzing the various issues of relevance , before establishing and setting out principles for the future development of the area .

Local area plans are intended to provide more detailed planning policies for areas that are expected to experience significant development and change , through proper public participation and democratic oversight . Under the provision ofTown & Country Planning and Urban Development Act , the Local Area Plan has been proposed at 2 ( two ) suitable locations in the Raha Master Plan , 2045.

DISASTER PLAN

Disaster is an undesired calamities event that seriously disrupts the functioning of a community or society and causes human , material and economic or environment losses that exceed the community's or society's ability to cope using its own resources . Disasters are usually caused by nature but in some cases , it can be caused by human actions as well . Disaster can be broadly classified into water and climate related geology related and accidental related . Assam has been traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters on account of its unique geo - climatic conditions . Flood, drought , cyclones , earth quakes and landslides have been recurrent phenomena .

Atnational level , the ministry of Home affairs is the nodal Ministry for all matters concerning disaster management and at state level State Disaster Response force under Ministry of Home, Govt . of Assam is the responsible agency to tackle any disasters within the State .

Raha in Nagaon district comes under Brahmaputra valley and one of the town located on the bank of Kolong River , is an anabranch of the River Brahmaputra and flows North - Westerly direction of the Southern side of the Town . River Kopili also flows in the same direction as the River Kolong from few kilometers away from Raha Town . Nagaon district has got very high reserves of Glass sand . Thus , it can be unanimously vouchsafed that the geology of Assam depicts a rich repository of minerals with its diversified geographical structure .

10.1 FLOOD :

River Kollong is a spill channel of river Brahmaputra having its intake point near Jakhalabandha in between Kukurakata hill and Hatimura hill . The river traverses about 199.67 Km through Nagaon and Morigaon district and finally outfalls into the river Brahmaputra near Chandrapur in Kamrup district . The river meets streams like Diju , Missa and rivers like Killing , Kopili and Digaru along its course .

The hydrology and topography of the catchment area of the river Kolong was such that apart from receiving water from the hilly streams , the river carried 2010

the flood water from the over flooded Brahmaputra River inundating the low- lying areas of Nagaon and Morigaon district and creating havoc among the people . Even the Nagaon town was under threat due to such flooding by Kolong River . The whole course of the river basin is basically divided into two natural divisions as Upper Kolong sub basin and lower Kolong sub basin. The Upper Kolong sub basin starts from the point of the origin of the River and extended upto Nagaon Town , covering an approximate length of 50 Km . The lower basin starts from the Nagaon Town through Raha town and spreads up to Hilokhunda area of Morigaon District , covering an area of more than 110 Km . During its course , kolong is fed with several rivulets namely Diju , Misha , Haria , Nonoi , Titamari , and Raha suti . Receiving the water from the aforesaid rivulets , the river kolong become bigger and enters the Morigaon district passing through NH - 37 at Bhatigaon and Mulankata - Manipurtup area of Raha Revenue circle .

Raha Flood

River Kopili is also another River responsible of creation of sudden dam induced flood . Kopili is an interstate river in Northeast India that flows through the states of Meghalaya and Assam and is the largest south bank tributary of the Brahmaputra in Assam . The river Kopili rises in the North Cachar Hills District in Borail Range at an altitude of 1525 meter . Then it passes through Kopili Ghat , Penumbra , Kheroni , Rajagoan , Kampur , Raha , Amsoi , Kumoi , and Mayang .

The Kopili Hydro Electric Project , located across the districts of Dima Hasao in Assam and Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya and run by the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation , consists of the Khandong and Umrongso dams and their reservoirs and three power houses that have a total installed capacity of 275 MW.

The kapili dam has changed the character of flood in the river downstream for the worse . Before the construction of kopili dam , floods occurred mainly during the monsoon season . Increase in water volume due to heavy rains used to be the reason of flood . These were normal flood which occurred not more than two or three times a year . But after the construction of Dam , number of sudden artificial flood has been increased . Hundreds of houses in the Raha area of Nagaon district got flooded on 2020 , Tuesday, after water were released from a dam of Karbi Langpi hydropower project in Karbi Anglong .

10.1.2 RIVER EROSION :

River erosion is a season specific calamity observed in certain period mostly in fixed seasonal interval , in rainy season specifically from the months of April to July . The Brahmaputra has unleashed its destructive force again in Assam . Bank erosion prone area of the streams and Rivers of Assam are to be converted by different soil conservation measures prone area of the streams and rivers of Assam are to be covered by different soil conservation measures in order to check the continuous loss of Agricultural land Gully erosion is the main erosion problem, which damages a considerable area of Agricultural land annually . Gullies are the formation are the formation in the soil by the surface runoff water initiating sheet , rill and finally the gullies resulting in accountable loss of the top fertile soil . Gully control structure like spillways , check dams etc. are constructed to stop further advancement of the gully heads and fingers and to improve the moisture regime in the command areas which results in increase in production from agricultural land .

Bank erosion occurred in Kolong and Kopili River in the areas like HariaMukh , Phulaguri , Molankata, Tulsimukh , Chaparmukhgaon , Chaparmukh Town during the time of monsoon and continuous downpour increase the volume of water in Kolong and Kopili River leads to constant erosion/ corrosion on it .

10.3 MITIGATION PLAN :

Any disaster management plan or emergency management plan consists of four phases , namely : Mitigation , Preparedness , Response and Recovery . The Mitigation component in an emergency management plan is aimed at reducing the risk, impact, effects of a disaster . Hence careful planning eliminates the phase is important to reduce or eliminate the long - term risk to human life , property from natural and manmade calamities . It's important to have mitigation plans led by local community , working together to identify , plan for in the event of a disaster and reduce vulnerabilities and promote long term personal and community resilience and sustainability . Mitigation Plans can concentrate on both pre- disaster and post disaster efforts to reduce the impact of the disaster .

Pres - disaster Mitigation should focus on projects and interventions to address natural and man - made disaster to reduce risk to the population and property . This is mainly achieved by strengthening the resilience of National/ state infrastructure . Post- disaster Mitigation efforts are primarily designed to reduce future damage in an affected area and decrease the loss of life and property and life due to the incidents following the disaster .

2018

THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

The essential steps of hazard mitigation are : -

1. Hazards identification

2. Vulnerability Analysis

3. Defining a Hazard Mitigation Strategy .

Implementation of Hazard Mitigation Activities and projects

Raha region is also affected by flood than any other natural disasters hence the disaster vulnerable area mitigation plan focuses on flood related eventualities and how can it be mitigated and have better preparedness . It is important to note that disaster management is an integrated task involving various government departments of region and the plan should focus on prevention , preparedness , mitigation , response , and measures .

10.4 PREVENTION :

As part of the said natural disasters the following measures can be adopted by concerned govt . departments to avoid and minimize the impacts of natural disasters .

1. The public work department should monitor the major water bodies like river , streams lakes for constant flow of water , rising level and identify potential areas along the water bodies which need additional embankment or revetments , and these works should be implemented on priority before the onset of the season .

2. Power and communication should carry out through inspection of power lines , communication lines for defects and rectify them. Trees and branches which may damage power and communication lies should the trimmed or removed .

3. Health department should ensure the primary and community health centers are equipped with medicines and medical staff. Preventive vaccines for epidemics should be stocked in adequate quantity. Chlorination of drinking water should be ensured to avoid the outbreak of epidemics in the event of cyclones and floods .

4. The department of disaster management is the nodal agency in the Nagaon region and has already handled several flood and cyclone situation in the region . From this experience , it should be able to identify the low lying and vulnerable areas and the population of such places must be warned to be alert and to be ready to safer areas or to the relief camps in case of warning disaster .

5. The department of civil supplies & consumer affairs should decide for creation of buffer stock of food grains by making required withdrawal from the food corporation of india . Also , adequate quantities of kerosene and diesel should be procured and made available through the fair price shops .

6. Department of Agriculture should take steps to publicize precautionary measures to be taken to save the standing crops in the vulnerable areas . Farmers should be encouraged to have platforms in their fields to stock the crops . De - silting of the public and private irrigation cannels should be ensured for quick drainage of paddy fields .

7. Fisheries Department shall alert all the people residing on river bank villages and hamlets about the impending natural calamities and advice the fisherman not to venture into sea till normalcy is restored.

2020

THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

8. Department of School education shall keep all schools ready for accommodating the evacuees and keep the central kitchens to function around the clock with in charge of the centers . NCC and NSS students shall also be grouped to send them for relief works .

9. Department of Animal Husbandry should store fodder , cattle feed , and poultry food etc. and also carries out the inoculation of animals against epidemics . The Key village units should harbor stray cattle with shelters .

10. Transport Department should keep ready the list of sufficient numbers of earthmoving vehicles , transportation vehicles such as trucks , tractors , tippers , poclains , mini buses etc. Further , all the listed vehicle allocated in connection with calamity has to be kept in roadworthy condition for using them in emergency .

11. Local Urban Bodies / Municipal Board shall make rearrangement for availability of Generators and pump sets at short notice . For areas with water logging and artificial flood local bodies should clear the L & U type drained which normally clog due to plastic materials and silt .

12. Police department shall set up a Search & Rescue Team which shall contain at least 20 police personal for each jurisdiction of the superintendent of police.

13. Similarly , the fire services department shall set up search & Rescue Team consisting of at least 6 members of each fire station .

10.5 MITIGATION AND PREPAREDNESS :

Pre - disaster planning consists of activities such as disaster mitigation and disaster preparedness . Disaster mitigation focuses on the hazard that causes the disaster and tries to eliminate or drastically reduce its effects . The best example of mitigation is the construction of embankments and construction of proper drainage system in flood prone areas to avoid floods . The other example includes retrofitting of weak buildings to make them earthquake resistant . And preparedness focuses on plans to respond to a disaster threat or occurrence . It takes into account estimation of emergency needs and identifies the resources to meet the needs .

The first objective of the preparedness is to reduce the disaster impact through appropriate actions and improve the capacity of those who are likely to be improving the capacity of those who are likely to be affected most . The second 2021 THE ASSAM GAZETTE , EXTRAORDINARY, MAY 17 , 2025

is to ensure that ongoing development continues to improve the capacities and capabilities of the system to strengthen preparedness efforts at community level . Finally , it guides reconstruction so as to ensure reduction in vulnerability . The best example of preparedness activities are the development of community awareness and sanitization system through community education and administrative preparedness by way of stockpiling of supplies , developing emergency plans for rescue and relief. For successful mitigation plan it is necessary to identify short- medium - long term mitigation measures risks and damages .

The following steps can be taken te reduce the risk in the unfortunate event of the said natural disasters .

1. Restore communication networks .

2. The task force in association with reach and rescue teams of police and fire should thoroughly search the affected area for survivors and injured .

3. In case of heavy flooding and inundation , vehicular access may be restricted and hence suitable rafts / boats should used to rescue and evacuate the people affected by the floods

4. Water logging in low lying residential areas should be pumped out and the pump out water could be let out through the nearest natural drain or canal . Also fire engines can be deployed to pump out water from affected areas during emergencies .

5. Any breach in rivers , streams or natural drains should be protected with adequate sand bags or creation of temporary embankments to avoid further damage to property and human life

6. In case of heavy storms , power supply to areas which are in the primary path of the storm can be disconnected to avoid hazards due to breakage of power lines . Provisions should be made to provide generations for temporary power supply to storm affected areas .

7. Relief camps should be opened in appropriate location where a large number of people are affected.
