DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION
Background
A major earthquake devastated vast areas of Gujarat on 26 January, 2001,
killing more than 20,000 people and rendering millions homeless. A total
of 35 million people are affected. The impact of the earthquake is
expected to worsen as there is a severe drought situation in the State:
rains are more than 4 months away and it is getting hotter and drier by
the day. Departments of the State and Central Governments, voluntary
organisations and the international community are extending all possible
aid for relief to the earthquake victims.
Current Situation
Immediate relief measures have been taken up in the priority areas of
food, water, clothing and temporary shelter. CASA conducted its survey
and relief operations in five sectors: Bhuj, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Rapar and
Gandhidham, with a tactical headquarters set up in Rajkot to administer
the relief programme. CASA began by distributing cooked food and drinking
water pouches to quake survivors in rural areas for 10 days, and then
distributed tarpaulins, relief sets, dry ration kits and lanterns. Each
relief set contained one saree, one dhoti, two blankets and aluminium
kitchen utensils (9 items). The dry ration kits contained 10 kg rice, 2
kg pulses, 2 kg gram flour, 2 litres cottonseed oil, 1 kg jaggery, 1 kg
sugar, 1 kg salt and ½ kg tea. This initial relief assistance programme
commenced on 27 January and was successfully completed by 28 February
covering 35,000 families in 157 villages of Kutch, Rajkot and Jamnagar
districts.
CASA also received 1,000 metric tons of wheat from MCC which is being used
for providing employment opportunities leading to the creation/restoration
of village infrastructure including deepening/excavation of ponds, land
reclamation, house site clearance and creating water collecting
structures.
A clear agenda for long term rehabilitation of the victims now needs to be
drawn up, so as to put the implementation on the right track from the
initial stages. The need for linking long term rehabilitation with
developmental programmes incorporating preparedness and mitigation aspects
to counter future disasters need to be paid special attention. This
proposal outlines an approach for moving from relief to mid term
rehabilitation and finally to long term rehabilitation in a cross
sectoral, yet integrated manner.
In view of the disaster prone characteristics of this area which is prone
to earthquakes, cyclones and drought, it is desirable to base such a plan
on a developmental framework with built-in factors of preparedness and
mitigation. Such a plan will need to be tailored to the local needs and
characteristics in order to be successful at the community level.
Impact On Human Lives
The official estimate of lives lost is reported as 20,000. The number of
people seriously injured is put at 60,000.
Description of Damages
A severe earthquake of the magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale occurred
on 26 January 2001 with its epicentre 20 kms North-East of Bhuj and 110

Locations for Proposed Response
CASA has put in place a rehabilitation task force drawn from its Western
Zone which is being strengthened by the recruitment of local qualified and
experienced staff with its field headquarters located at Rajkot. CASA
will be operational in the districts of Jamnagar and Kutch covering 7
villages. The Government allots villages for long term rehabilitation to
NGOs that have long standing experience and expertise in emergency and
development and CASA has therefore been allotted 7 villages by Government
of Gujarat which are as follows:

ensuring co-ordination with LWSI, UELCI, other church agencies, and
grassroots partner organisations.
GOAL & OBJECTIVES
Goal: To achieve reconstruction and rehabilitation in communities most
affected by the Earthquake, and to reduce risk at grassroots level through
participatory disaster mitigation measures.
Objectives:
To assist in provision and promotion of :
sustainable livelihoods through long term food and income sustainability
as well as immediate food security
disaster resistant physical infrastructure in the form of cyclone
resistant housing and community assets
community based disaster preparedness and mitigation measures including -
village level institutions and operating systems
awareness, education and training based capacity building
self reliance mechanisms
developmental programmes through co-ordination and networking for
rehabilitation to development transition and addressing practical gender
needs
Activities and Outputs
Reconstruction of houses : 1249 houses
Reconstruction of village infrastructure: 7 schools, 7 panchayat ghars, 7
water supply systems and approach/internal roads in all 7 villages.
Livelihood focussed activities : Livelihood opportunities for 1,249
families under livelihood security programme.
Establishment and support of community organisations and self help groups.
Disaster preparedness : awareness and skill upgrading of primary
stakeholders and selected trainers and disaster managers.
Provide trauma counselling services to the disaster victims. Design and
implement training modules targeted at the trauma counselling needs of
caregivers and the community.
TARGETED BENEFICIARIES
CASA will be targeting 1,249 affected families. Priority will be given to
the most vulnerable sections among those affected such as women and
children.
Criteria used in Beneficiary Selection
The programme will target beneficiaries from amongst the most vulnerable
groups identified on the basis of post earthquake damage and assessment
carried out in the field.
Primary Stakeholders
These will primarily include the marginalised section of the community who
were lagging behind in development and have sustained greater impact due
to low coping capacity. These will include:
marginal and landless farmers,
households headed by women,
households that have lost breadwinners,
children - particularly orphaned children,
those with low access to basic services and education,
families that have lost their means of livelihood and
physically or socially challenged groups that have low coping capacities
and have thus been rendered incapable of self-recovery after the
earthquake.
These same groups will be brought, through the developmental transition of
the proposed programme, into the mainstream of the development process.
The participatory approach, as well as the emphasis on local capacity
building, will aim at enhancing internal capacities and reducing
dependence on external support.
Secondary Stakeholders
These include primary schools, Panchayati Raj (local self government)
institutions, village self help groups, health workers, masons, local NGOs
and CBOs, Block Development Officers and District and State level relief,
revenue, disaster management and rehabilitation bureaucrats and
co-ordinators. Addressing the secondary stakeholders is expected to result
in very wide impact of the programme through a filter down effect.
Women's Needs
Women's needs are of critical importance in view of the traditional social
deprivation faced by them and the devastating impact of the earthquake
that has left behind a large number of women headed households.
PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
Description of Assistance
The salient features of the project is to rehabilitate the affected
society socially, culturally and economically in a self sustaining
environment that includes appropriate housing and civil amenities. It is
aimed at making the programme a part of the total development of the
affected areas.
Disaster Resistant Housing
Housing programmes in the affected areas need to be taken up using
earthquake and cyclone resistant technology with low-cost local material
and manpower. The construction activity itself will also create
opportunities to employ and train local people as masons. This will get
linked to the livelihood programme, and will build upon local capacity for
upgrading of housing even beyond the completion of the rehabilitation
programme. The 7 villages allotted to CASA fall under Package - I as
defined by the Government of Gujarat in its Gazette. This package relates
to villages where 70% houses have collapsed and the village needs to be
relocated. The State Government will arrange for land on demand from the
Gramsabha. In case Government land is not available the NGO to which the
village is allotted would have to purchase the land required for
relocation of the village with or without beneficiary contribution.
The following are the salient feature of the Package-I Schedule.

All houses will be single storeyed and will be constructed using
stone/brick masonry. The dimensions of the houses will be 300, 400 and 500
sq. ft. as per the categorisation given above. Each house will
additionally be provided with a 25 sq.ft. toilet. The construction will
be carried out as per Indian standard code of practice: A.S. 4326:1993. In
this standard, the specified features of design and construction for
earthquake resistance of buildings of conventional types are covered.
Recommendations regarding restrictions on openings, provision of steel in
various horizontal bands and vertical steel at corners and junctions in
walls are based on a range of calculations made using steel design seismic
coefficient and the ductility of steel reinforcement. Many of the
provisions have also been verified experimentally on models by shake table
tests. Such construction is also cyclone resistant. Below is a detailed
estimate for the construction of houses:

The cost of earthquake resistant construction using materials as specified
out above comes to Rs. 300/- per sq.ft. This figure has been used in the
budget to compute the cost of all three categories of houses.
Village infrastructure
The task of reconstruction of village infrastructure also needs to be
taken up on a priority basis to restore basic amenities and facilities
necessary for regular functioning of the village. This is also a primary
condition attached by the Government for allotment of villages to NGOs
under Package I. The minimum infrastructure for each village will comprise
one primary school (seven classrooms), one Panchayat office, a water
supply system, drainage, 3.5 kilometres of roads (inside and approach),
electrical wiring in all houses.
School: It is proposed to construct a school in each village. This will
essentially be a middle school i.e. to 7th standard in order to meet
village requirements. The building will have an area of 3,600 sq.ft. with
7 class rooms and 2 small rooms for school office and principal's office.
A toilet block for boys and girls will also be constructed. This being a
public building with large spans it will be designed as an R.C.C. frame
structure, incorporating earthquake and cyclone specifications according
to the Indian Standards Code.
Panchayat Office: The panchayat office is essential for the smooth working
of the local self- government mechanism at the village level. It is
proposed to construct a two-room building with a toilet block measuring
700 sq. fit of covered area using the same technical specifications as
apply to the school building.
Roads: An average of 3.5 kms of approach/internal road are required to be
constructed in each village. The average width of the road will be 4
meters. The road will be surfaced with water bound macadam using stone
aggregate blinding material and including screening, sorting, spreading to
template and consolidating with road roller of 8 to 10 tons capacity.
Water supply and Drainage: In order to provide water in the villages
being re-constructed it is proposed to construct water storage tanks in
each village with a capacity of 30,000 litres to store water being
supplied by the government through tankers/pipeline. The tank will be an
RCC structure resting on column footings. An electric pump will be
installed for water delivery through the pipeline to be laid along the
roads with taps provided at strategic locations. The pipeline to be laid
in each village will measure approximately 3,500 running metres.
Brick/stone masonry drains on an average of 5,250 running metres per
village will also be constructed with necessary slopes along the roads to
drain waste/surface water from the houses and roads.
Livelihood Provisioning and Security
There is an immediate need for the re-establishment of livelihood based
food security. Activities that need to be taken up include assistance in
restoration of economic activities through provision of seeds, fertiliser
and agricultural implements to farmers, tools and implements to village
artisans and the establishment of a diverse economic base through
facilitation of wide-ranging vocations.
Establishment and support of community organisations and self help group
In all the programme villages the participation of the community will be
ensured through a process of involving the community from the inception.
The community will be organised into various groups such as Village
Development Associations, Mahila mandals and Youth Groups . To empower
women, self help groups will be initiated in all the villages. After group
formation the identified leaders will be developed through HPD
interventions to sustain their interest in the whole rehabilitation
process. 7 VDAs, 7 Mahila Mandals, 7 youth groups and 14 self help groups
will be established. Economic support will be given to the self help
groups to enhance their income.
Strengthening of Local Delivery Institutions and Disaster Preparedness
The programme needs to be carried out in a manner that would enable smooth
transition from a disaster rehabilitation programme into a developmental
programme. Preparedness and mitigation need to be underlying principles in
all activities taken up under the sub-programmes and their activities,
with an aim to build the capacity of the local community to deal with
future calamities efficiently. Preparedness measures are to include
awareness campaigns, training of trainers and disaster managers and
setting up of an information database. Local institutions such as schools,
health service institutions and local self government are an effective
means for broad-basing preparedness and mitigation measures. These
institutions need to be strengthened in order to play a more pro-active
role in the area of disaster management.
Implementation Description Per Agency
The programme will be implemented in co-operation with CASA0s partner
agencies, secular and church related organisations. The responsibility for
implementation of various facets of the programme have been conceptualised
as follows:
CASA: CASA will be the main implementing partner and will be directly
responsible for the resource sharing partners in all respects. CASA will
supervise and monitor the working of the other partners and complete
periodic reporting on the progress of the programme. All finances will be
received and accounted for by CASA. CASA will also be responsible for the
livelihood provision components and security; community organisations and
self-help groups and strengthening of local delivery institutions. All
finances will be received and accounted for by CASA.
MEC (Methodist Engineering Company): Projects executed by MEC include
churches, schools, hostels, hospitals and residences. CASA and MEC joined
forces in 1993 on the Maharashtra Earthquake Rehabilitation Program, a
successful program that reconstructed seven villages including earthquake
resistant houses, schools, community buildings and roads. MEC will be
responsible for the above construction activities which will be monitored
by CASA.
CMAI: The Christian Medical Association of India will in collaboration
with experts from Norwegian Church Aid and NIMHANS Bangalore take up the
task of providing trauma counselling services to the disaster victims in
these villages. They will also draw up and implement training modules
targeted at the trauma counselling needs of caregivers and the community.
Transition From Emergency
The long term rehabilitation agenda items in the programme are aimed at
establishing self-sustainable management systems that will continue to
operate and grow even beyond the completion of the project. A special
component of long term programme security is planned, which will cover
participatory and co-operative management of food and income security
programme through self help groups, enabling and upgrading of skills
through a range of training programmes, education and awareness.
ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING
Administration
CASA has worked in the area of disaster management and response for 52
years. Experience of the long term rehabilitation programme in Latur,
Maharashtra after a similar devastating earthquake in 1993 will form a
platform of knowledge and experience for implementing the proposed
rehabilitation programme in Gujarat.
The CASA Director is co-ordinating the overall operation from Delhi and in
this he is being assisted by his staff at the head quarters level, which
includes expertise in disaster response, logistics and emergency
communications. The overall co-ordination at the zonal level is with the
Chief Zonal Officer, Western Zone.
CASA will operate in 2 districts. For a proper management and
co-ordination, it is planned to set up field based implementation units
with an overall co-ordination unit at Rajkot. Co-ordination, monitoring,
consolidation of reports and accounting will be the main functions of the
Rajkot Office.
Finance Management and Controls
Accounting will be maintained at the implementing unit levels by the
qualified Accountants and the entire project account will be consolidated
at Rajkot office on a monthly basis.
The zonal office will scrutinise the accounts and submit the same to
headquarters for onwards submission. Preparation of quarterly and yearly
financial reports of the project and the final audit of the account would
be done at the headquarters level.
Monitoring Procedures
Monitoring of the project would be done on a regular basis through field
visits, submission of reports, staff-partner meetings and interaction with
beneficiaries. CASA would ensure active involvement and participation of
the beneficiaries, partner organisations, local government officials and
Panchayat leaders in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the
project activities.
The programme will be constantly monitored to ensure that it progresses
along the planned framework, and also in order to fine-tune it as and when
required, based on field responses. The project component implementation
will be monitored through time-based check lines for commissioning of
physical infrastructure and completion of activities with recorded
participation of targeted stakeholders. Progress Assessment Reports will
be prepared on a regular basis.
An evaluation will be carried out. This will be based on physically
verifiable indicators for infrastructure development activities. Besides
these, perceptional indicators will be instigated through a participatory
appraisal and evaluation exercise that will be based on community
perceptions.
IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE
The total project duration will be one year from its inception.
CO-ORDINATION
CASA head quarters will be constantly in touch with ACT and other members
of the ACT network working in the operational area such as LWS and UELCI
for complete transparency, information sharing and learning from each
others' experiences. Links with development actors working within the
project area pre-exist based on CASA's prior activities and NGO
partnerships in the area. CASA has been directly operating development
programmes in part of the affected area and has NGO partnerships in other
parts since 1993. There are a total of 3 NGO partners in the area who have
played an active role in post earthquake relief operations and will
continue to provide local institutional support through the rehabilitation
phase. Besides CASA will be working in co-ordination with other NGOs and
will be networking with them to ensure a co-ordinated implementation of
its programmes complementing and supplementing those being implemented by
other agencies.
CASA is already a member of the various Co-ordination Committees where the
experiences and plans of the Government and NGOs are being shared on a
regular basis for a better co-ordination of relief and rehabilitation
efforts. So far, the focus of the out come of meetings has been on a more
comprehensive and holistic approach to the rehabilitation programme in
which the knowledge, experiences and aspiration of the referral community
are to be ensured by the support organisations. CASA will continue to be a
member of the committees for sharing and learning. CASA also visualises a
great potential in terms of a future advocacy role being played by the
committees.
