Morphometry of landslides in Garhwal Himalaya, India
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce a simple and convenient method for the landslides study. Design/methodology/approach This study is based upon the individual case study of three past landslides which may probably prove fatal in the near future. It is useful for the measurement of the horizontal length, longitudinal length, altitude at different points and area of the landslide. These measurements are very helpful in calculating t…
Flash flood disasters in Uttarakhand
Purpose Up to now most of the research into flash flood disaster has examined scientific aspects of this natural phenomenon. This paper aims to focus on the flash flood disaster scenario of Uttarakhand, a newly created Himalayan State in India, on the basis of their severity and mechanism so that management efforts can be mounted by the disaster managers. Design/methodology/approach Besides compiling the hazard‐ and risk‐related work done by the …
Landslide hazard zonation in Hanuman Chatti area of Uttarakhand, India
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate landslide hazard problems in Hanuman Chatti area of Uttarakhand, India. Every year NH 58 experiences landslide activities, which disrupts the tourist traffic to Badrinath shrine and higher Himalaya. Design/methodology/approach An urgent need is being felt to have a comprehensive landslide hazard evaluation factor (LHEF). The major causative factors that influence the slope stability are lithology, …
Nainital
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show that Uttaranchal is a hilly State, recently constituted in the Himalayan region. Over 80 percent of Uttaranchal state is prone to slope instability because of weak and highly folded and fractured rocks, steep slopes, high seismicity and unfavorable hydro‐geological conditions. In addition to this, unsystematic development construction activities contribute to the problem. Newly formed Uttaranchal state…
Resettlement and rehabilitation issues in Uttaranchal (India) with reference to natural disasters
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to devise Uttaranchal's disaster management mechanism for reduction of effects of disaster, i.e. damage to property and loss of life and the rapid and effective rescue, relief and rehabilitation of the victims
The fury of nature in Uttaranchal
Purpose The study aims to highlight fundamental causes and effects of disasters in the northern district of Uttarkashi, which lies in the fragile mountains of Himalaya. Disasters such as the 1991 Uttarkashi Earthquake, the flash floods of the Bhagirathi river and the devastation caused by the Gyansu landslide are discussed. Design/methodology/approach The following approach was used for this study: precise geographical location of the various lan…
A model Citizen's Charter for disaster management in Uttaranchal (India)
Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to persuade all partners in disaster management to take action and create a pair of synergistic and invincible forces – government and people – that interact to bring about a reduction in the impact of natural hazards in Uttaranchal, India
Financial mechanism for the relief expenditure in India
Purpose This paper proposes to study institutional financial arrangements in India at national, state and district levels for providing relief and rehabilitation to the affected persons during natural hazards. Design/methodology/approach India's location and geographical features render it vulnerable to a number of natural hazards such as cyclone, drought, floods, earthquakes, landslides etc. The Government and people have learned a lot of lesson…
Hazard zonation in Uttaranchal (India)
Purpose – Up to now most of the research into disaster has examined scientific aspects of the natural phenomena, statistical and geographic records of their occurrence and social responses to the events. This research aims to focus on the hazard identification and hazard zonation on the basis of their severity and frequency so that management aspects of prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response and relief activities can be mounted by the dis…
Participation in practice and disaster management
Purpose Disaster management is not merely a subject to be taught in class rooms but a habit to be practiced not only by the individual but by the community as a whole. Participation of each and every component of society in practicing disaster management is the key to success. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue. Design/methodology/approach Uttaranchal is a newly created state of India having 80 percent of its geographical area und…
Observation on National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), India report on emergency medical services (EMS) with special reference to road accidents in Uttaranchal (India)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present observations on the National Human Rights Commission report on the emergency medical services (EMS) with special reference to Uttaranchal, India
Landslide problems in Uttaranchal, India
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe how landslide and mass movements are recurring phenomena in the Himalayan region. The consequences in recent times have become more severe in terms of casualties and extensive damage to the roads, buildings, forests, plantation and agriculture fields. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on field work and secondary source on information about various landslides in the Uttaranchal, India. …
Landslide of Rishikesh‐Badrinath National Highway at Devprayag, District Tehri Garhwal, Uttaranchal (India)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report on the landslide of Rishikesh‐Badrinath National Highway in Uttaranchal, India
Non‐monsoonal landslides in Uttaranchal Himalaya (India)
Purpose Climatic conditions as also the agrarian economy of the Indian subcontinent is greatly affected by the monsoonal winds that are characterized by heavy rains between June and September. The paper is an attempt to break the myth that landslides are only confined to monsoonal months that normally have concentrated rains and can be expected in other seasons as well and, therefore, disaster alert levels cannot be relaxed during non‐monsoonal s…
Traditional inputs in disaster management
As suggested by field records, elaborate mitigative planning for the protection of an area around Amparav in North India from the threat of landslide have been in place for nearly a century. The landslide management plan incorporates essentials of both structural and non‐structural mitigative measures that reflect a thorough understanding by the landslide managers of the mass wastage processes involved. Implementation of this plan safeguarded thi…
Implications of ignoring the old disaster management plans
Purpose The paper aims to discuss the causes of the landslide event at Amparav in Kumaun Himalaya (Nainital district of Uttaranchal in India) and attempts to bring forth the importance of mass awareness regarding the past disaster events in their surroundings. Design/methodology/approach On the aftermath of the landslide tragedy of 23 September, 2004 field investigations were carried out to probe the causes and lapses that resulted in tragedy at …
