COMMUNITY-BASED PREPAREDNESS
Foundation for Disaster Management
BookAntiqua:::::: I--Font
Samiyarpettai village is a “living” example of how a community can survive the worst disaster if people are prepared and trained to deal with such crises. Providentially, in October 2004, barely a couple of months before the Tsunami struck on December 26, the villagers had been trained under the UNDP-GOI Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Programme with active support from the District Collector’s office. This one factor alone resulted in the saving of countless lives. Compared to many other neighboring worst affected villages, Samiyarpettai villagers lived to tell the tale.

The training given to the Samiyarpettai villagers specifically in the areas of search, rescue and prevention from drowning, resulted in keeping the death toll down to 24. In the adjoining village of Pudupettai , a little less than 2 km away, the death toll was as high as 92. If basic training could save 68 precious lives in one small area, one can imagine the benefits of training on a more extensive scale.
The initiatives taken at the village level included:--H2
1. Constitution of Village Disaster Committees,
2. Elaboration of Village Disaster Management Plans,
a. Elaboration of Village Disaster Management---SL 1-----I/U
b. Elaboration of Village Disaster Management---SL 2
c. Elaboration of Village Disaster Management---SL 3
3. Training the teams on search and rescue and First Aid,
4. Conducting mock drills
5. Teaching them about higher safe spots and to prevent drowning using empty barrels and banana stems.
Facts about DRM Programme :
· Six multi hazard prone districts of Tamil Nadu ( Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Kanchipuram, Kanya Kumari, Tiruvallur and Nilgiris) are covered by this programme; the six districts comprise a total of 64 Blocks, 2436 Gram Panchayats, 3397 villages and 12 Urban Local Bodies (UBLs).
o Almost all the other worst affected villages in Cuddalore district—SL -1-- B
o Almost all the other worst affected villages in Cuddalore district—SL 2
o Almost all the other worst affected villages in Cuddalore district—SL 3
· Samiyarpettai, in Cuddalore district had been chosen as a model village for the project as it was prone to floods, droughts and earthquakes.
· Almost all the other worst affected villages in Cuddalore district are to be covered by DRM programme by next year.
· The Tamil Nadu Fire Force trained local villagers in all aspects of emergency survival and disaster management while trainers from the Anna Institute of Management helped to hone their survival skills.
· Some volunteers from the village were formed to act as permanent specialized task forces with the capacity to constitute an elementary early warning system consisting of basic chains of communication, logistics support, search, rescue and first aid.
Inserted Table—H4
While building Early Warning Systems are essential to prevent and reduce massive damage, simple disaster preparedness at the local community level is the need of the hour. It spells the difference between death and disaster or life and hope.
