DISASTER MANAGEMENT CELL MUNICIPAL CORPO RATION OF GREATER
Mumbai Mumbai Covers an area of about 437.71 Sq. Km. Houses about 11.9 Million people (c. 2001) Population density of about 27,209 people per Sq. Km. (c. 2001) Approximately 60% population resides in informal settlements Approximately 27,68,910 structures including residential, commercial and industrial
Topography Merger of 7 islands in city area, 4 islands and hilly areas in suburbs Surrounded by Arabian Sea and Thane creek Much of the area is close to sea level Gravity drainage system affected by high/low tides During high tide flood gates closed to stop ingress of sea water Result: no drainage of storm water. water logging/floods occurs during heavy rains coupled with high tide

The Need for Disaster Management Mumbai: India’s financial capital Maharashtra’s state capital Extreme population and structural density Coastal city with massive reclamation Falls in an active seismological zone Presence of industries dealing in hazardous material Large number of vulnerable informal settlements Strategic target in wartime & for subversive activities Any disaster would cause massive loss of life and property
Mumbai’s Population Dynamics Average population density 27,209 persons per Sq. Km (population / area) Majority of the population resides in the suburbs and commutes to the city area in south for work in the morning and back in the evening Case Study - Ward ‘A’ (South Mumbai) Daytime population : 45,00,000 persons Density : 3,94,390 persons / Sq.

Awareness
URBAN EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITY REDUCTION – Project –Sub-Component of DRM Programme Awareness generation Informing the citizens on earthquake hazard/ risks and possible mitigation measures Awareness on safe building practices among practicing architects/ engineers/ builders Development of Earthquake preparedness plans Develop preparedness and response plans at ward level Develop sectoral plans Establish ward level DMT and Inventory of resources Development of a techno-legal framework Review and amendment of byelaws, General development control regulations. Training and Capacity building Ensure construction professionals develop capacities in Earthquake resistant construction & retrofitting measures Develop local volunteers for preparation of ward level preparedness and response plans Establish trained DMTs (at the ward level - training on S&R, First Aid, community Preparedness Planning, Mock drills)
Emergency Operations Center Command & Control
Need for an EOC EOC contributes to the successful execution of the meticulous planning It is the Command and Control Center for all rescue operations It serves as a Research & Development Unit It also serves as a Training Center
The MCGM’s EOC An Emergency Operations Center is equipped with: An array of communications systems Television sets tuned to major news channels Networked Computer Systems with DM Software Video Conferencing Setup is in process Conference and Press Rooms Water Supply and Ration Stocks Uninterruptible Power Supplies with Generators Pantry, Dormitory and Toilet facilities Thus, it is a self-sufficient control center built to withstand and outlast disasters
EOC Application : Dial 108 Simple, 3 digit number ( 108 ) allotted by DoT The ethos of 108 Provide a single-window solution for alerting multiple response agencies Minimize response time by improved coordination among agencies Improve ‘management’ aspect of disasters Modeled on the lines of 911 in USA, this is the first such system in India

Search & Rescue Task Force Field Unit
MCGM’s Search And Rescue Task Force - One Comprises of 26 members from various disciplines Ward level SAR Teams Have undergone basic training on: Collapsed Structure Search & Rescue Confined Space Search & Rescue Rope Rescue Medical First Response Water Rescue Operation Team is ready for national / international deployment on short notice
Rain Gauge Installation MCGM has installed automatic rain gauges at 26 fire brigade stations, so as to know exact pattern of the rain all over Mumbai city & suburb. This rain gauges data is transmitted to control room every one hour. The rain gauges can be further calibrated to give alarm at prefixed rainfall intensity. (above 20mm rainfall) These data serves ultimately as warning and evacuation signal if required. Fire brigade being first respondent and on 24 hours alert, the rain gauges are installed at fire stations.
Warning System MCGM has given heavy duty vehicles one for each ward. These vehicles are fitted with wireless system as well as public announcement system.
Conclusion Disaster Management System has been undergoing continuous up gradation during last few years 2005 July floods have provided valuable lessons and resulted in more rapid upgradation of DMP Efforts are on going for better co-ordination with all stake holders National Disaster Management authorities has appreciated the efforts of Mumbai Disaster Management system.

Editor's Notes

  • #5: Now talking about Mumbai city, as we know our city covers about 437 sq. km area and about 11.9 Million population according to census 2001. Our population density is 27, 209 people per sq. km which is huge number. And dynamics of our city is approximately 60% of our population i.e. 60% of 11.9 Million which will come around 7 Million lives in informal settlements which is highly vulnerable. We have about 27, 68, 910 structures in the city.
  • #7: When we compare our city with other metropolis, we found that our city ranks 6 th in terms of its urban agglomeration.
  • #8: Why we need a Disaster Management Setup or Disaster Management Plan for Mumbai city. As we all know….
  • #9: Again about population dynamics….. As I said earlier, we have population density of about 27,209 persons per sq. km. All of us know that Majority of our city population resides in the suburbs and commutes to the city area i.e. in south Mumbai for work in the morning and back in the evening . Also people from neighboring cities like Thane, Kalyan, Vasai, Virar etc. come to south Mumbai for work / business, which increases the daytime population in the south Mumbai. For example if we take a case of A ward:
  • #19: Only about preparedness meetings between all agencies
  • #35: Inaugurated on February 6, 2004 911 service: single window service provided in USA
  • #39: INSARAG – International Search and Rescue Advisory Group, at the Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) of the United Nations.
