DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN MUMBAI

MCGM is the primary organisation responsible for the civic and infrastructureneeds of the metropolis.

Several other agencies that are administratively independent of MCGM (MumbaiPolice, Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA),Mumbai Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), Indian Railwaysetc) are also responsible for the administration of the city.

Each agency has its own emergency control room for disaster management andhas Standard Operating Procedures in place for responding to disasters.

During a disaster various control rooms, municipal departments and state

departments are actively associated and are simultaneously involved in disasterresponse from warning to relief and rehabilitation.

This creates a situation of multiple authorities and multiple controls and relieson effective coordination by the MCGM.

Adopting an Integrated and

Sustainable DRR System for Mumbai

The DRMMP (Disaster Risk Management Master Plan) is developed and

adopted by Mumbai as a city-wide system for achieving disaster

resiliency

Under the DRMMP, all DRR activities are coordinated, monitored and

evaluated to ensure that all stakeholders are working efficiently and

that investments in DRR are optimized and justified.

The participatory approach taken by the DRMMP enables sustainabilityand ownership building and will support the awareness raising of all

stakeholders and communities

Risk assessment for earthquakes

Seismic Risk Assessment has been carried out considering seismichazard, vulnerability of structures, exposure and finally estimated loss.

Scenario earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 and 6.5 on the closest significantseismic source, the Panvel flexure, have been considered in the riskassessment.

The percentage of loss in total value corresponding to different damage

intensities for each building type has been obtained from loss functions.

The exposure analyses have been based on two main analyses namely,the population analysis and property analysis.

Physical damage to buildings, Social losses including deaths, injuriesand displaced people and corresponding economic losses have beenevaluated in aggregate and by ward.

Seismic Risk Assessment

The earthquake risk assessment provides:

The elements for preparing the city forearthquake disasters

The necessary information for developing risksensitive land development and land managementsystems

The opportunity to benchmark the effectiveness of

structural and non-structural mitigation measuresby using the simulation results as the benchmark.

Flood risk assessment

A rapid flood inundation mapping was undertaken for computingflood inundation, flood spread and for estimating the affected

population.

The flood spread corresponding to rainfall intensity of 50 mm/hr and100 mm/hr for all 24 wards were mapped

Graphs were prepared for rainfall intensity 50 mm/hr and 100mm/hr, to show the relationship between flood spread and populationaffected, flood spread versus ward area and flood spread versuspopulation.

Comparison of risk between wards enables adequate preparation anddistribution of resources.

SUPPORT TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT

1. Advanced Locality Management (ALM): Initiated in 1997 by MCGM formobilizing citizens in a participative approach in setting up a system fordealing with the problem of solid waste management in anenvironmental friendly manner.

780 ALMs

About 5 tonnes of biodegradable waste is composted per day.

Approximately 25-30 tons of garbage per day is prevented from reaching thedump yards.

Organisation of the community, training and initiation is done jointly by

residents and MCGM

Initially funding by residents and the Corporation

Later stage activities are completely funded by the residents.

54



55/67




2. Slum Adoption Scheme. Scheme initiated to keep slums clean.

MCGM provides necessary equipment to community-based organizations (CBO)at local level and it also takes care of the salaries of the slum cleaners three years.

Amount provided by MCGM reduces gradually over this period.

CBO collects Rupees 10.0 (or 0.22 US dollars) per household per month forcollection of segregated waste from house to house and for the maintenance oftoilet blocks.

By the end of the third year, the CBO is expected to become self-sufficient inmanaging services related to waste management and sanitation at the primarylevel.

55



56/67




3. Slum Sanitation Programme (SSP).

Phase I (1997-2005) implemented with World Bank Aid

An innovative approach in providing toilet facilities to slum dwellers.

Programme implemented through strategic partnerships with other keystakeholders, each contributing with their comparative advantage to the process.

The MCGM provides the initial capital Private construction agencies provide technical knowledge to build toilet blocks.

The NGOs mobilise communities

CBOs act as end-service providers

Every family contributes US $ 10.88 dollars or individual adults contribute US $

2.18 dollars towards operation and maintenance. About 330 community toilet blocks with more than 5,100 toilet seats were

constructed and handed over to community groups.

The program is estimated to have benefited about 400,000 slum dwellers.

56



57/67




4. Slum Sanitation Programme (SSP). Phase II

35,000 toilets constructed

Budget provision (2010-11): US $ 4.35 million by MCGM

No upfront contribution from the slum dwellers

Once construction is complete, every family living in the area is issued amonthly pass costing between US $ 0.22 - 1.09 depending on local

conditions.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Emergency Support Functions (ESF) concept has been adopted to engage

all stakeholders involved in disaster management

14 ESFs have been formulated, each of which is headed by a lead agencyand is supported by identified support agencies.

Stakeholders are organized and provided with a methodology for

sharing knowledge and resources and to work efficiently to address thechallenges of preparing, responding and recovering from any emergencysituation

On the basis of the ESFs, table top exercises are being conducted andhazard specific Standard Operating Procedures will be prepared which

will be validated by conducting mock drills. Thus DRM practice will be institutionalized and a competent emergency

management system will be established in Mumbai with internationalstandards of practice.

Concluding Comments

o Mumbai is subject to many natural and man-made hazards, and

is a highly vulnerable city due to its geographical characteristics,a high urban density and about 8 million people living inextremely vulnerable slums

o The city faces some of the complex challenges associated withvulnerability and risk reduction

o Mumbai has made a remarkable shift from reactive to pro-activedisaster risk management within a few years

o Through sustained investments, leadership, scientific planningand a participatory approach, the City has taken an irreversiblecourse towards addressing its challenges in DRR

o Initial signs of accomplishments and a resolve commitmentmake Mumbai worth for consideration for the Sasakawa Award.
