: Marathwada Earthquake (Sept.
30,
Karnataka
and
1993)
Dear Frlends.
This is not just another letter. Here is another voluntary agency
with over a decades' experience in disaster management field
and
having access to internatonally acclaimed resources, inviting you
to join
the efforts to prepare people to face disasters with
confidence.
Everytime
there
is
an earthquake, whether
it was Uttarkashi
(1991) or Marathwada (1993), housing and shelter comes in for lot
of
criticism
and
even help. We have no desire
to comment on
desirability or otherwise of the World Bank Aid or the Government
Policy in regard to th present earthquake.
We must not however, impose a solution from top.
People must
decide
themselves.
Wn
should use the materials,
for housing
reconstruction, that a ?e readily ave.ilab.a in the area.
Majority
of
houses in the area made of mud, stone and bricks.
Demolition
of
houses have left lot of these materials in heaps. What makes
houses more earthquake resistance is not jvst material, or design
but
a combination of various factors where basic principles
of
design and construction practices will play an important part. We
neednot import a design but can enable local population to build
safer
houses themselves with available materials and
culturally
acceptable to them.

I
*
J.A.C.
in association with th
*?
*
India
Institute
of Technology.
Kanpur and support of several groups lave decided thatany housing
programme must begin by cron ing a cor? group of concerned
indi
vidual who are trained tc na.tt houses safer
against earthquake
and then around these volunteers organise training for masons,
carpenters,
activists
in
Lvcal language at
locations
in
the
affected area and subsequent} help put up a few model houses
of
each type.
We
have succeeded in raising.some
funds
and
have
promises for more.

Dear
Neu Year Greetings - 1994 - from Community Health Cell !
This is to thank you for your participation in the BANGALORE
RELIEF EFFORTS in helping the Earthquake affected of Marathwada
region.
Your concern and solidarity at this time of disaster was truly
overwhelming. We take this opportunity to inform you uhat
happened to your contributions in cash and kind.
The Bangalore team collaborated with the Catholic Hospital
Association of India (CHAI) - SANGHI group, which had earlier
established its base camp at Nandurga, in the district of Latur.
It works in eight other villagesaround Nandurga - Sarani,
Hasalgan, Haregaon, Sankrai, Uadi, Nandurga Tanda, Limbada Tanda
and Mangrol. These areas were selected because no one else was
working here, and the need was as much as in any other place.
Forty persons from Bangalore consisting of medical and non
medical personnel stayed at Nandurga and worked in the relief
operations.
The Bangalore team worked along with other volunteers, mainly in
the areas of curative and preventive medical relief. Also the
needy were identified and the relief materials distributed as per
their needs. We are happy to assure you that close contact was
developed with the villagers and an excellent rapport was built
up. This helped in reaching the relief material collected to those
who needed it most. By the end of the first month the CHAI SANGHI group had come to be known as the ’Hyderabad - Bangalore
Team’ among the villagers.
2
The reports of the volunteers which are enclosed give you
additional information on our work there. The medical and
health needs of these villagers are being met by this team
and has been officially recognised by the Government of
Maharashtra.
4 Once again we extend our heart-felt thanks for the support
and backing you have provided. This would not have been
possible otherwise.
With regards . and best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
for COMMUNITY HEALTH CELL,
DR. SHRIDT PRASAD TEKUR
COORDINATOR.
DATE: 08.11.1993
Osar Friends,
My Greetings. Exactly a week ago we reached this plac€ at around
7.00 P»R. And the hospitality we received was extremely
courteous.
One of us, Dr. Anju of St. Martha’s was sent immediately to Sarani,
where CHAI has set up another camp. Br. Varghese is the Coordinator.
I was put up in ’’mobile medical team s»C” along with Dr. Shirley and
Ms. Anita and Ms. Lavina, nurses.
Mr. Nagaraj of HAL and Ar. Hermil
also worked with us for a couple of days.
Since I could make out a lot of Marathi and knew Hindi, I became an
interpreter to the doctor and the patients. I worked with Dr. Jose
of St. John’s also; talking and writing a little bit - noting down
the names, age etc of the patients.
Our team has taken a transition from 0P0 to caring and concerning
outlook.
The presence of Dr. Aravind is of much help.
Currently,
it is only our group which is completely involved in this type of
work.
A comprehensive survey of underfive, not only including bimunisation
status, but also height, weight and vit. deficiency in a village with
nearly 500 houses has been taken up.
Me are trying to understand what people say and specially their tales
of woe, with whatever Hindi and Marathi we know. Though not many
deaths have taken place, houses and property have been lost.
Since
atleast two other agencies have already done surveys on DDT coverage,
relief coverage etc.,
we are facing some difficulties.
In the
village of Sankrai, a small girl aged 11 or 12 years scolded us as to
how many times she has to answer the same questions.
Or. Arvind is
planning to collaborate with the Government, as to the question of
immunisation.
Psychosomatic cases are abundant and work for them has
been initiated.
I am writing this in a hurry.
More when I return back.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Soumyakumar.

team mates at CHC, Bangalore.

ATTENTION
This is the first Newsletter from CHAI-Sanghi Relief Camp. Nandurga Village,
Latur District
where the Bangalore volunteers are working.
Dr. Mani Kalliath the Co-ordinator,
who set up
camp, highlights the situation and the challenges.
j
16.10.1993
Dear Friends,
I am writing this letter sitting in the hospital tent of our base camp at Nandurga village in Latur
district.
It is a beautiful large triangular Belgian tent, with strong plastic sheet for the floor and
built in windows.
One feels relaxed, forgetting the anxieties of the earlier days,
when we had to
struggle with water leaking from above and the floor getting water logged.
I was part of the first team that pitched camp here, under the banner of the Catholic hospital
Association of India (CHAI) and Sanghi group of industries on October 10th.
Though we had been readying
to come here, there were restrictions.
It made one wonder whether one needed influence even to volunteer
for relief work !
By the time we reached, the army had been withdrawn and police contingents were every
where.
The original village of Nandurga was completely flattened except for 2 concrete structures.
The
village had lost about 300 lives.
Opposite the village, crowds of people were queuing up infront of
various relief distribution points.
It takes some time to get to know the people and their sense of loss.
First contact was at the clinic,
which as soon as it opened had a hundred people lining up.
They came to get relief from pains and aches;
others came with infected wounds, some deep.
A small number had done injuries,
by now infected,
malunited or non-united.
In the first few days we were relieved not to see signs of serious epidemic.
Visiting them in their houses reveal more of their tragedy - a daughter and son-in-law had come home to
parents'
house that day for confinement, when nature snatched them away; a son had rushed back from
Bombay only to .see half his family wiped out; there is one young man, who has suddenly found himself
alone, his entire family has passed away.
We found an old woman with an untreated fracture of the upper
limb who was unwilling’to move out for treatment, because she had to care for her widowed daughter who
had gone into depression.
Another lady spontaneously hugged one of our sisters, who had put a plastic
cover on the remains of her precious but tattered family card.
Some have not received relief because they are so deeply in their sorrow that they do not come out and
stand in the queues.
For some of the richer folk, this quake has been a leveller in more ways than one.
A lady who was well off earlier found it so humiliating to stand a line for the first time in her life !
The rows and rows temporary tin shelters are not the best of housing.
It is black cotton soil land and
in low lying areas; this is also the season of torrential rain.
When the downpour is heavy the family
spends the night sitting up on cots or planks.
Without garbage pits and latrines, it is a wonder that
there has been no outbreak of water-borne epidemics yet.
Children are happy to come around us, especially so if photographs are being taken.
They collect around

REVIEW
The response of the Bangalore based voluntary agencies to work
collectively has been very fruitful. The Bangalore public have
responded enthusiastically to our appeal for their help,
by
sending
in a
lot of relief materials especially clothes and
donations in the form of cash and cheques.
Many are impatiently
wating to work as volunteers in the disaster affected areas.
SITUATIONAL REPORT

of
the
2. There is a need, to monitor the relief material pouring in and
for proper co ordination of relief work.
3. Many voluntary agencies presently are concentrating only on
relief
work
and
hence there is a
great
need
for
rehabilitation.
4. The trauma of the disaster affected people was reemphasised.
5. The materials used for putting up the temporary shelters are
of
sub
standard
quality,
and
there
is
no
proper
sanitation/drainage facility.
Improper planning in putting up
the shelter was evident.
6. Camps are mainly used by the poor class as the rich have moved
into their relatives/friends houses.
7. The Government of Maharashtra has planned to provide three
types of housing based on the economic classes of the people.
8. Kerosene is in short supply.
9-
Umrani village of Bijapur in Karnataka is the most affected
area.
All
the 450 houses of the village have collapsed.
There was not much casualty since most of the villagers were
sleeping outside their houses on that fateful night.
10. Remote areas like Daddevadi of Karnataka have been left out
of
the relief work and
there are some
cases
where
compensation for deaths have not been paid.
11. Voluntary agencies working in some disaster affected areas
were sent out by the local authorities even without assigning
a reasons.
12. Politicians are capitalising on the disaster situation.

forces have also infiltrated the disaster affected

Assist in building new economic infrastructure.
Since the temporary shelters are going to be used for atleast
six months to one year, there is a need to improve its
quality.
This is urgent in view of the rains and the
forthcoming winter season when living under the tin roofs and
black soil ground, which will be wet and slushy,
is very
difficult.
Active involvement in building awareness among the disaster
affected populations about seismic activities and health was
stressed.
.
there is a need to take vaddar community (stone cutters) into
special consideration as their economic activity is being
severely disrupted.
This focus is necessary because of the
fact that Government/NGOs
may not use the stones for
construction while providing housing facility as was the
usual practice.
6.
Since the Government is concentrating on compensation,
is a need to focus on equity in distribution.
7.
In disaster affected areas of Karnataka, housing facility has
to be provided.

It was suggested that a joint committee of the voluntary
agencies should be formed to coordinate relief activities in

iHELP THE TREMBLING THOUSANDS
STRUCK BY THE EARTHQUAKE
Friends,
The papers, TV and radio are full of the horror and destruction left behind by the earthquake. But they
cannot adequately convey to us the actual feelings, sentiments and hopes that lie crushed under all those rocks
and rubble. People struck by this terrible tragedy would need a long time to recover and piece their lives
together again.
While "respect for the dead, care for the injured and provision of food, shelter for the surviving", are the
immediate needs of the people, providing safe water and sanitation, orthopaedic equipment and trauma care
services would have to be taken up soon. Meanwhile, let us do what we can, to show our fellow-beings that
^ve care. Contribute to help the suffering people set up their homes again.
Bangalore-based voluntary organisations, which have formed an emergency response group, came
together again and decided to collect the following items to be sent to the affected people : Clothes, sheets,
blankets, kitchen utensils, water storage tanks and money. Medicines, mats, bandages, milk powder and water
purifying tablets may be donated only in bulk. Cheques may be drawn in favour of either "Service Civil
International" or "OXFAM (India) Society".
DO DONATE GENEROUSLY. You may bring them to any of the following collection centres :

Experience o± the volunteers■
A few volunteers who toured and worked in the disaster area were available.
The
representatives of Swedish Development Corporation,
Action Aid and
Chinmaya Yuva Kendra attended the meeting.
Their experience highlighted
that:
a) Centralization of distribution work of relief material have led to faux
paus like distribution 2000 eggs in an 80 per cent vegetarian population
area and disappearance of cooking oil.
!
b) While the civil authorities were more concerned about storing the relief
materials at the godowns , the voluntary agencies were merely dumping
their relief materials.

g) It would be preferable if volunteers are sent in small batches.
Suggestions and. Discussions ■
The need for proper planning and training before the volunteers and relief
material to be sent was emphasized.
The suggestions were that for the next
2 or 3 weeks.
1) To take care of the traumatized people.
The utility of Kannada or
Marathi speaking volunteers was necessary apart from proper training was
highlighted.
2) Foreseeing the possibility of food shortage and migration of able bodied
men,
steps should be taken to initiate community harvesting of the
standing crops - Jowar and Sun flower.
3) To help the civil authorities in settling land titles etc.
4) To assist in rabi sowing, which may begin from the 15 November 1993.
5) To rehabilitate the orphans and the handicapped.
6) Housing may be provided along with the type of Nissil huts of Pune,
^constructed by the army in the Sixties.
Providing semi-shelter was also
^Piooted .
7) Need for concentrating on the four disaster affected areas of Karnataka
and to extend the help of this group.
This was in view of the reported
adequate supply of relief material at Marathwada.
8) The excess material collected in Bangalore may be used for the
of the poor of areas surrounding the disaster site.
benefit
9) All along this discussion the need to identify and collaborate with the
local voluntary agencies was emphasized.
Working with agencies
like
'Manav Lok' or the coordination committee of voluntary agencies working
at the disaster area was regarded as most reliable.
i
Decisions
1) The collected money, clothes and household material would be despatched
soon after identifying the local group with whom the relief work can be
^Collaborated.
2) In view of this, the sorting work of the relief material would begin
this week end.

3) The first press release about the group's activities would be

4) The volunteers would be briefed and trained especially with

5) To wait for more information from SCI, ICDSS and CRI
before taking
further steps to work in the disaster affected areas of Karnataka.
This group agreed to meet for the last time on 13th October, 1993 at 4.00

Dear Sirs,
LATUR: FROM RELIEF TO DISASTER?
Marathwada was shaken and so was the world A year later, the people of Marathwada are still
suffering the after-shocksand not all of them of the seismic kind.
ACTIONAID India has just completed a topical and thought- provoking 30-minute video
documentary on ”A Year After the Earthquake: What's Done. What Isn't”. The film focuses on
the N GO (Non -govern men ta 1 orga n isa tion) a nd gove m m e n t re ha b i 1 i r a t i o n wo r k fo r t he q u a ke
victims.
A year lias passed since the earthquake that struck on September 30 last year in Marathwada left
around 10.000 people dead and 84 villages destroyed.
Thedocumentarvhas been commissioned bv us. shot on Betacam and edited by a noted
Bombay-baseddocumentaiy film unit called SETU Films.
VHS copies of the film are available to NGOs as an information resource at a price of Rs.500.
Thedemand-draftistobemadeout to‘ACTIONAID Karnataka Projects’and mailed with a
coveringiettergivingdetails of number of cassettes required to the name and address given
below.
The enclosed article, which appeared in the latest issue of CHANGES, The ACTIONAID India
Magazine, gives an insight into some of the key human and logistical issues that are facing the
rehabilitation scenario in Marathwada today. The film, in fact, is a telling document of people’s
miseiy. procedural apathy and lessons to be learnt for every NGO.
ACTIONAID works with so me of the world’s poorest children, families, and communities to
enable them to alleviate their poverty and to secure lasting improvements in the quality7 of their
lives.
Warm Regards.

Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations
Exactly a year after the devastating
earthquake inMarathwadaJ. Acharya
toured more than twenty earthquakeaffected villages andfound that beneath
thefacade of normalcy, one cannotfail to
notice another disturbing reality.
Latur, a year after the quake, is a chaotic
exhibition of this...
bout a year ago, an earthquake devastated vast areas of
the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, killing 9000
persons, injuring 16000, and leaving behind a trail of
destruction resembling the ruins of some 16th century citadels.
A
As the news spread far and wide, thanks to the worldwide
network of modern mass media, and as appeals were sent out,
relief contributions started pouring in - from individual donors,
voluntary agencies and trusts, international donors and charities,
political parties and governments. The response was indeed
overwhelming. While there was some overlapping and
duplication in efforts and materials, which is perhaps inevitable in
such cases, the relief was by and large well organised and well
received. People were settled in tin shea relief camps, awaiting
new houses to be constructed.
On the surface, it seems that life has begun returning to
normalcy - 'normalcy', i.e., as much as is possible under the
circumstances Agricultural operations have resumed as usual,
and the fanners had a bumper flab/crop thanks to the distribution
of free seeds, fertilisers etc. by many agencies. Children have
started going to schools arranged in make-shift tent structures.
...this...
What have been the experiences of people in their effort at
returning to normal life? Wnat have been the roles of the
government and the numerous non-governmental agencies ?
What are the lessons to be learnt about disaster preparedness
and disaster management?
To begin with, there were more than 100 tremors felt in the
region during the year preceding the major earthquake. While
there was some talk of shining the population, probably this was
not taken seriously. There does not seem to have been any
anticipation of the severe damages to the houses, which is rather
strange given the fragility of the structures. The overwhelming
response in the form of relief operations were more a product of
mass spontaneity than of any disaster preparedness.
The overall management of the relief efforts and
administration by the state government during the aftermath of the
disaster is indeed creditable. It is doubtful if such an efficiency in
relief management would have been witnessed in any of the
backward states of India. However, there nave been a number of
problems arising mainly out of the complexity of the situation.
12
CHANGES October —December
...and this.
The government has announced compensations to the heirs
of the dead and to the injured. A recent study carried out in more
than 60 of the worst affected villages (see box), however, reveals
that in half of the cases, the compensation is yet to be disbursed
mainly because of procedural delays and due to disputes over
heirships. It can also be seen that the figures worked out by the
government and those based on the field study show wide
divergence on many counts.
As we move from relief to rehabilitation, the problems acquire
a greater complexity.
More than 500 persons have become permanently disabled
as a result of the earthquake While they have received some
immediate attention, the quality of the services have been so bad
that many had to undergo two or three further surgical operations
to be stabilised. Apart from the efforts of a few NGOs including
ACTIONAID’S partners), the rehabilitation of the disabled
persons has not got the attention it deserves.
Behind the facade of normalcy and apparent tranquillity,
there is the growth of another disturbing reality, in the form of the
emerging resettlement scenario.
agencies - agencies representing the corporate sector (including
large construction aoencies) and NGOs. The government is
expected to raKe up the construction work in the remaining
villages, where very little progress has been made till date. And
there are a lot of speculations as to what may ultimately happen
there - will the construction work be entrusted to contractors, as
has already become apparent in a few villages? Will the
government prefer to hand out the amount to the people as cash,
for which certain pressui es are building up? Land for the new
constructions has been mostly acquired. But constructions in the
'government sector’ may take at least two more years to be
completed. The construction work in the ’private sector' villages,
on the other hand, is in full swing, and may be completed by the
end of this year. The area is buzzing with activities, with trucks,
cranes, masons and migrant construction workers all around.
Although the quake measured only 6.4 on the Richter scale,
the damage was many times more severe than that caused due to
similar quakes elsewhere. This was mainly because of the
traditionally used housing design (use of uncut stones with black
cotton-soil mud mortar in the walls, and flat mud roofs supported
by wooden pillars and planks). It was natural, therefore, for
everyone to focus on the structural design aspects in the
reconstruction programme.
Uncleared Debris
Exhibition Ground
On the one side, there is the uncleared debris of the ruined
habitations that bring into memory the chill and horror of that early
morning disaster, the cries of the ill fated survivors, the crowding
by the onlookers and the hurry burry of relief
workers pulling out bodies, the noise of the
vehicles brushing past, and the rush behind
the queues for relief supplies. There have been
a number of minor tremors and aftershocks
during the last one year. There are many who
do not venture to sleep inside pucca structures
for fear of a collapse.
This, however, has given the pretext for all kinds of avant
garde technologies and models to come up In fact, the area looks
Compensation Not Given
like an exhibition ground where different
agencies are demonstrating their favourite
and often fancy technologies of building
construction. There are eight to ten designs
being peddled, claiming different levels of
structural strengths and advantages (one
design even claims io stand a pressure of 24 •
points on the Richter scale - well, that is
something which could definitely stand out as
a relic into the next century even after
everything else has disappeared under the
strongest earthquake!).
Compared to the off-road devastated old
villages, we witness new roadside layouts,
which often resemble an urban housing
colony, or even the space city of a science
fiction film. Beside the monstrous concrete
jungle, the native population appears as mere
bystanders, dwarfed, subdued and
marginalised. The overwhelmingly
condescending structures tend to immobilise local initiatives and
trap the people under a syndrome of vicious dependency.
Will the habitations match with the traditional occupations and
life styles of the mainly agricultural communities? The compact
habitations which encouraged close interaction amono the
members of the community are being replaced wiin well spread
out layouts, which threaten to reduce the traditional patterns of
cooperation and inter-dependence, and seriously affect intra
community networks of relations, especially among women. In
some cases, the name of the village itself has been changed,
leading to a sense of loss of identity among the villagers.
Since in many cases the agricultural fields are miles away
from the settlement, one wonders how convenient it would be for
the farmers! Where will the cattle be kept, since there is no
provision for a cattle shed? We do not know, if the quality would
be as good as being promised. The local people did not have a
hand in the supervision of the construction, since plots were not
allotted before the construction, and nobody knew which house
would be whose. Will the local people be capable of carrying ►
Will the habitations
match with the
traditional occupations
and lifestyles ofthe
mainly agricultural
communities?
On the other side, there is the new reality of
the building constructions with rich promises of
another disaster - and this a man-made one - in
the making. The house construction scenario
today is a theatre of the absurd
In a post-earthquake rehabilitation and
reconstruction programme housing is
obviously a major issue. The Government of
Maharashtra has formulated a reconstruction
plan for the construction of new houses in the
90 worst affected villages and repair of old
houses in many other villages, besides the repair of
embankments and irrigation canals. The resources for the
implementation of the above plan are mobilised mainly in two
ways - (a) the state government's own funds together with a World
Bank loan of about Rs.11 billion, (b) contributions from non
government agencies in the form of direct house constructions in
about thirty villages.
Biased Policy
The housing policy under which all constructions are to be
carried out, is clearly biased in favour of the richer farmers - the
higher the land holding, the larger the floor space you get. There
are many who question the wisdom of providing a higher floor
space to the richer farmers, rather than making a common
minimum quota for all. Although the extra space is apparently
being treated as a loan, given the circumstances and
experience, it is doubtful if there will be any repayment.
The construction of houses in these thirty villages (in some
cases only partially) has been taken up by the private external

^URATHWADA EARTHQUAKE 1993: A STATUS REPORT
“The darkest hours are just before the dawn” but for the victims of the September 1993 earthquake
the early hours of September 30 proved to be the darkest in the history of this country. The
Marathwada region earthquake of September 30.1993 registering a maximum of 6.5 on the Richter
scale, the 13th major earthquake to affect this country since 1737 and described as the equivalent of
a hydrogen bomb explosion lasted altogether for 2 minutes. It came in 5 tremors. The first was at
3.56 am (47 seconds), the second at 4.41 am (54 seconds), third at 6.24am (12 seconds), fourth at 6.34
am (22 seconds) and the fifth at 7.45 am (2 seconds). While the region has experienced 1 ir. 1962.
1967, 1983 and 1984, selected areas in and around Killari, one of the worst affected areas have
recorded as many as 125 tremors between August- October 1992. Clearly a closer seismic monitoring
and other timely precautionary measures could have averted the magnitude of this disaster.
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS:
The damages of the worst affected areas of the Osmanabad and Later Districts have been u.-.usally
high not only due to the occurencc of the disaster in the early hours of die morning but also due to
the geologically shallow nature of die earthquake, the densely populated areas and the unsuitable
house constructions.
According to the NIC data updated until 7/10/93. unto32 villagesin the Omerga utluka of Osmanabad
District (Estimated popul.ation=78,285) and -4 villages in Latur District (Estimated
populations 1,06.691) have been largely affected by the disaster. The number of reported deaths and
injuries in the two districts recorded iodate have been illustrated in Figure 1. Even though the
maximum number of deaths based on cremations undertaken have been reported in Sastur -1222)
and Killari (1995) asubstanlial death toll (numberof reported deaths 10 and above) has been recorded
in at least 20 of the affected villages in Omerga taluka and 17 villages in Latur District as can be seen
in Figure 2A and 2B.The.se figures arc considered as only rough cstimatcs.The magnitude and extent
of devastation in this wide crosscction of affected areas have received not only scant media coverage
but inadequate overall attention during the emergency relief operations undertaken during the first
week of the disaster.
STRATEGY:
A four member, team comprising representatives from both VHAI and State VHAs (Unnikrishnan
P V. Christina De Sa VHAI, Raj Bhujbal MPVHA. Joseph Singh. L'PVHA) undertook an on-thespot assessment during the first week of the onset of the disaster to assess the magnitude and extent
of repercussions and nature of short and long term operations undertaken in order to plan specific
interventions and strategies through VHAI at the central and local level.
Tne team undertook extensive field visits to a wide crosscction of affected villages in the two districts
including Narangwadi, Holi, Pethsanghli, Sastur. Killari, Haregacn, Limbala Dau etc. Interviews
were held with affected families and individuals and different levels of persons involved in the field
operations including government officials, medical personnel (army and civilian), volunteers,
village leaders, NGO, academic and international agency representatives and press correspondents.
Meetings were held with the District Collectorates at Pune, Sholapur and Omerga. Visits were also
made to the Civil and Private Hospitals at Latur, Omerga and Sholapur. An on-the-spot analysis was

OPERATIONS UNDERTAKEN:
A
The immediate Rescue and Relief operations have been undertaken by the government (both army
and state governments) and local volunteers on a war footing basis. Some NGOs operating in and
around the earthquake hit areas (e.g Manavlok, Latur Dt) and volunteers from the Vivekananda
hospital rushed to the spot even before the army could move in.
Secouristes Sans Frontiers a french rescue organisation comprising of medical experts and sniffer
dogs were also actively involved in rescue operations in extricating bodies.
Scores of voluntary agencies from Gujarat, Karnataka, AP and other parts of Maharashtra arc
presently engaged in emergency relief supplies including food, medicines and clothing.
The government has set up Food distribution centres for the provision of cooked food and ration
supplies. These centres are also being used to distribute relief supplies donated by individuals and

Offers have been received from various corporate houses, institutions and various state governments
to assist in the shelter rehabilitation activities.
Academic bodies like Tata Institute of Social Sciences JTISS) Bombay, Centre for Social and Rural
Development (CSRD), Ahmednagar, and various medical colleges in Maharashtra are also involved
in surveys and relief activities. The Maharashtra govt has appointed TISS as the official surveyors
for an assessment of the area. A group of 25 faculty members with 180 students will be engaged in
household surveys for 2-3 weeks starting on 13/10/93. Nirmala Niketan College of Social Work
students (140) will be assisting TISS in this joint venture. A separate cell is being set up which will
coordinate activities from Tuljapur.
Society for Support for Voluntary Agencies (SOSVA), Pune will be coordinating activities in
Osmanabad according to information available from the Mantralaya,Bombay.
MAJOR OBSERVATIONS:
1. There was much difficulty in obtaining authentic and reliable data at and around the affected
areas. Vital information regarding the relief and rehabilitation opcralionscouldnolbcdisscminatcd
among affected villagers and relief agencies. This has led to massive chaos with distribution of
emergency supplies.
2. While emergency supplies and assistance has been concentrated in certain villages, a wide
crosscction of affected villages have been neglected.
3. An on-the-spot survey of the types of medical cases in the affected villages and hospitals (govt
and private) revealed that a major caseload comprised of:
i.
Trauma related psychiatric cases (Post Trauma Stress Disorder)
ii. Orthopaedic injury related cases leading to temporary and permanent disability.
iii. Injury and damage to internal organs due to the fall of heavy stones.
The District Hospital, Sholapur alone had admitted 77 cases of paraplegia as on 7/10/93. 956
orthopaedic cases were dealt with by ‘Lifeline Express’ till 8/10/93. No long term rehabilitation plans
for these cases has been envisaged yet.
4. Grievances: There was no mechanism or machinery to listen to grievances of affected victims
and survivors or determine their immediate and long term needs. The rampant corruption and
misbehaviour of the authorities was also observed at different levels. For example village
Sarpanches were forced to extort money from villagers to issue resident certificates with actual
numbers of deaths and survivors by local politicians.
5. NGOs and Donor Agencies: A lack of effective communication and coordination between
different NGOs and donors was observed in most areas. A sense of direction and specific roles
in long term interventions was found missing.
The first blaze of attention is over., the return exodus of those spectatalors gone for a ‘visit
*
has already begun. The intensity of emergency relief operations will decline leaving the victims and
4
survivors to fend for themselves. The army will be withdrawing from the affected areas on October
24. This might be the end of the disaster... and perhaps the beginning of a tragedy....
A
MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The overall lack of coordination and dialogue between agencies, maldistribution of resources and
an inadequate assessment of the priorities and needs of affected- communities with the sheer
magnitude of this disaster calls for a systematic disaster management strategy that VH Al in its unique
position as a national federation of over 3500 NGOs in different parts of tlie country can develop.
In tlie light of our preliminary findings during the on-the-spot assessment undertaken within a week
of the event as well as secondary information available to date, the major role of VHAI could be as
follows:
1. Identification of specific needs of two selected clusters of affected villages receiving inadequate
assistance.
2. Ongoing monitoring of interventions and strategics being undertaken by state agencies in order
to identify specific grievances and channelise resource distribution at local levels.
3. Identification of specific long term health interventions eg physical/mental rehabilitation in
selected arcastobe based on the lacunae in the present modus operandi.
4. Mobilisation of required resources among member institutions and other profcssionalsto facilitate
targeted field operations.
5. Ongoing dissemination of primary and secondary information to Stale VHAs, member
institutions and others.
LOGISTICS
In order to operationalise the above recommendations suggestions for the development of a targeted
strategy for disaster management at three levels arc as follows:
A.
Resotircc/Information Centre ; Location: Sholapur
Major possible functions
-Identification of interventions, plans and strategics undertaken by NGOs and international
agencies.
- Collection, analysis and dissemination of primary and secondary information.
- Liaison with govt, and other agencies to follow-up local grievances
- Coordination of activities based on selected field level health interventions eg physical/
mental rehabilitation.
5
B
Field Centres
1.
Taluka level (one)
Location: Omarga, Osmanabad District
a
Major possible Functions
-Orientation and training activities for community volunteers.
-Physical arrangements for personnel (volunteers, professionals etc)
-Liaison with district collectorate, volags and others
-Coordination of community volunteer activities
-Compilation, assessment and feedback of primary data
-Development of resource materials for community education (housing, causes and effects
of earthquakes, mental health, local traditions and practices etc)
2.
Village level (Two)
Location : in two selected clusters of villages needing immediate attention.
Major possible functions:
- Identification of beneficiaries in neglected villages
- Selection and supervision of community volunteers
- Liaison with Gram Sabhas and other agencies
- Referrals and identification of heallhscrviccs (physical + mental rehabilitation), and other
immediate assistance like agricultural requirements etc.
- Identification and registration of grievances and channelising distribution of relief supplies

of relatives, injured cases, registering grievances etc.
CONCLUSIONS:
Activities during'thc first phase are expected to be completed by November end. The VHAI-State
VHA team leaves for the site next week. The team wil 1 be actively engaged in this process with local
volunteers in and around the selected cluster of neglected villages to determine the long term
rehabilitation strategy.

RELIEF_SERVICES
In order to restore normalcy in the affected areas many steps
have been taken.
Relief services were poured in from different parts
of the country and abroad as well.
two types :
These services are divided in
(a) Immediate/Temporary Relief (b) Pe manent Relief
(government
The relief work from the government began from day one.
The
initial task ofthe administration was to clear the debris and save
the lives of the people who were trappedt to remove the dead bodies,
gat them cremeated/burled and give necessary treatment for the
injured.
Apart from these the government of Maharashtra has taken
the following decision to smoothen the relief service :
- to provide firewood and white cloth for cremation of the dead.
- to provide adequate medical aid to injured persons and to ensure
that no epidemics spread.
- to provide temporary shelters for the affected families.
- to provide health centres and food to the sufferers.
- to provide drinking water and restoring as far as possible the
x
original source of drinking water.
- to provide agricultural seeds, bullocks, implements tothe needy.
- to provide free supply of milk for a period of 15 days.
- to S6t up control room in collectorate to w rk round the clock.
PERMANENT ME ASURES ( GOVERNMENT^
- acquire land for establishing new re-settlement colonies.
- construction of earth-quake proof houses.
- provide assistance in reconstruction/repair of the houses damaged.
- provide civic amenities like construction of road, school, hospital
- provide drinking water supply schemes.
- provide electricity supply
- giving assistance to the rural artisans to restart their profession.
ENTRY PASSES X MILITARY ASSISTANCE

The system of giving entry passes
The military personnel did an excellent Job.
They
helped in all the a fected villages in removal of debris, taking
out persons dead and alive and treating the injured persons. Apart
from thes
they also co-ordinated relief along with dis rict adminis

t
non-governmental services
A large and perhaps more flexible component of the relief effort
has come from the voluntary sector.
An unprecedented and growing
groundswell of humanitarian aid of every description has come from
a range of organisations and individuals within the country
*
Many
charitable and philanthropic organisations responded almost immediately
by undertaking to conduct mass feeding programmes/ free distribution
of essential items such as clothes, utensils/ bucketst stoves# food
provisions etc.
Voluntary Health Organisations are providing medical
care and few have plans to involve itself with the long term rehabili
tation of the victims.
One of the striking efforts of the voluntary
organisations is to find areas of intervention that do not overlap
with the official effort.
FOREIGN RELIEF^GOVERNMEOT^&^VOLUNTARY
Relief has come from
foreign government and voluntary groups/
countries like USA# Britian and Japan have provided relief materials
such as plastic tarpaulins# water containers/ blankets# water blooms#
water purifiers etc.
CARE (Co-operative American Relief Everywhere)
has committed $ 30#000 towards re lief.
The catholic Hospital Association of India (CHAI)
in
collobration with the Sanghi Group of Industries responded to
the crisis immediately.

medical care and created a good rapport with them.
A systematic
planning was made to make the medical reltkif services available to
the people mak'ng it more effective.
An out-patient department was
set up at the major camp site to cater to the medical needs of the
people of Nandurga village.
Apart from these mobile clinics were
organised and health extension programmes carried out in different
villages.
The team so far provided its medical services in nine
villages namely Hasalgoan, Sankarala, Jangoanwadi, Sarni, Lotta,

Apart from these the team is also taking
initiative to educate people about proper hygiene and sanitation

MATERIAL relief
We have identified the needs of people from six different
villages.
Wherever the need for acute shortage of food material was
noticed our team tried to act upon by providing such provisions.
The core team at Hyderabad mobilised food materials and the same has
been distributed in four villages namely Saraniz Lotta, Sankrala and
Wadi.
Provision consisting of items like rice/ dal/ wheat flourt oil,
masala and potatoes were supplied for a period of one week.
Additio
nal relief materials such as clothes, blankets etc have been requisi
tioned at the earliest.
To provide better facilities for children
attending schools blackboradS/ benches and educational materials
have also been requisitioned.
These would be supplied in these six
villages.

informations.

However it will take atleast
a month to harvest, till then the scarcity of food will be experienced

Once the crops are reaped we can expect their basic needs
like food, clothing etc is met until then supplementary food relief
should be catered from the government or voluntary sectors. And also
until the permanent houses are reconstructed and people are settled
the life seems to be too hard.
People are still brooding over the
tragedy and this is particularly true with regard to the families
who lost their familt m mbern.

FUTURE PLANS
- relief to be continued whenever and wherever required
- while continuing the curative medical care also to give greater
importance to promotive and preventive
aspect of health care
- concentrating on organisational set up like women/ children & youth
- identifying potential leaders and training them to continue the
activities•
— concentrating on the psychological and spiritual rehabilitation

conclusions
The magnitude of the disaster and its impact on the people
in the affected areas are yet to be fully assessed.
Responses
from the governmental and non governmental agencies have been
sketchy,
our own efforts at relief and rehabilitation have been
pheripheral.
We need to respond to the situation on the more
scientific lines/in the coming week and month keeping in mind
long term needs and problems oftheeaffected.
Now that we are
through with certain of the immediate relief measures we can make
an effort at fulfilling the above. Iffififebt/ we are in thid period
of transition.
If it is to bear fruitfully we need not only
resources but much more expertise that can help us 'find direction
as well as equilibrium.
We count on the core group in Hyderabad
to facilitate this process.

VOLUNTARY
REPORT FROM MR. JOSEPH STANLEY, VOLUNTEER AT NANDURGA - CHAI
DISASTER RELIEF CAMP DURING 21ST OCTOBER 1993 TO 5TH NOVEMBER,
1993.

III. Mobile Clinic Team B
:
2 Doctors,
2 Nurses,
Volunteers, a Counsellor (Marathi Speaking).
General
The Base clinic at Nandurga would often have a traffic of 140
patients +/- inclusive of adults and children, with a post trauma
stress, at the rear end.
The mobile clinic teams would attend to 2 villages at an average
of 120 - 140 patients with a house to house visit by a general
volunteer,
and the teams would interchange the villages every
alternate days.
Most patients were suffering from fracture of
hands,
limbs,
spine or pelvis.
A good number of cases like
Diarrohea,
Bronchitis, Sinusitis, Laryngitis,
Generalised body
ache,
Gastritis,
Cold, Fever, UTRI and few cases of Bronchial
Asthma and few cases of Gastro-enteritis were reported.
Rabies
cases are coming in since the dogs have lost their master and
they are partially or fully mad and biting the people and
children.
The community health workers with general volunteers will have a
greater role to play since the sanitary system is very poor.
Water borne diseases like diarrohea,
gastro-entritis,
malaria
etc.,
due to water stagnation are beginning to start.
Waste
water from the borewell were being stagnated.
Our Bangalore
sanitary team started working on a soak pits and built toilets
for volunteers.
People generally lack awareness of hygiene as to
keep their places clean and tidy.
In short the general health
team workers will have much more better efforts to shell out than
doctors,
nurses and paramedical workers on the long run as a
preventive and curative method.
An elaborated report of the camp is enclosed which is same as the
CHAI and Sanghi Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation Services.

Lately even the nature has
struck them down with earthquake and floods.
The poor whose
livelihod depends only on cooli work have lost meaning in
their life.
Even the oldest person here have not experienced
heavy rains or flodds in their life®.
Buring the last year’s flood in November’92 many houses.
standing crops, cattles, vessels and clothes were washed
away.
Many people lost their lives.

The government did not do much to
rehabilitate the people who were affected last year.
Hardly
the fear of last year’s tragedy was deminishing from the
minds of the people the delay of rain in June threatned them.

Last year the sisters and the staff of Janodaya went
around the unaffected vil&ges of Manvi taluk collecting
grains,
clothes and cash.
This year since all the villages
are equally hit by the heavy rains and floods we could
not ask for any local help.
The staff and sisters visit
the villages, giving them hope and strength.
We also
need your helping hand to alleviate their misery.
There

help the flood affected people of our area.
Thanking you.
