4.7 Adequacy of Existing Inventory for Disaster Management
Section IV: Capability Analysis
Adequacy of Existing Inventory for Disaster Management is the sufficiency of present
inventory for disaster management. It is based on the disaster specific capability analysis. In
order to equip the district for managing disasters effectively, it may be necessary to assess the
adequacy of present resource inventory.
• After the 1993 Latur Earthquake, the Sr. Geologist G.S.D.A., Jalna has analyzed the
tahsilwise villages which are near or on the lineaments. But due to the lack of technical
instruments the scientific study of those lineament prone villages of the district has not
been carried out
• With the help of Minor Irrigation, Jalna district administration has prepared the list of
flood prone villages.
• According to Case Histories of floods, the administration has responded well to the
flood situation. With the help of data of flood frequency, the district administration has
taken the necessary action and played an important role in rehabilitation of Golegaon
village of Partur tahsil.
• According to Minor Irrigation, Jalna the present monitoring and warning system is
insufficient to co-ordinate the management of disasters. It requires 8 wireless set (the list
of required wireless sets is given in the Requirement of the district) to tackle the disaster
situation.
• Most of the area of Jalna district is generally inadequate in infrastructure like Fire
Brigade. The district has 8 tahsils, including 4 Urban areas. Out of 4 Municipal Councils,
only Jalna M.C. has its own fire brigade service. Due to this, the district administration is
not sufficiently equipped to tackle fire accidents.
• As per the District Health Officer, Z.P. Jalna, the district administration has sufficient
experience in responding to the epidemic outbreaks but the problem of water pollution
and supply of non infected water continues to be source of outbreaks. The district
administration has only one water quality monitoring lab, which is inadequate to test the
water quality of each tahsil of the district. The vacant post of Medical Staff is the main
administrative problem of the Health Dept.
• Proper training and instrument kit will be provided to the Traffic Police on the basis of
Mumbai Traffic Police. This is necessary for providing the immediate primary aid to
Road Accident Victims. The widening of roads and repairing of road and pools are
necessary.
• The NGOs and college student volunteers lack the proper training and necessary
instruments such as ropes, tubes, fire proof masks, breathing equipment etc. to face any
disaster situation.
