2. Introduction & Project
Background
The Government of India has initiated the National Cyclone Risk
Mitigation Project (NCRMP) with a view to address cyclone risks in the
country. The overall objective of the project is to create suitable
infrastructure to mitigate the effects of cyclones in the coastal states of
India.
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) under the aegis of
Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) shall implement the Project in
coordination with participating State Governments, and the National
Institute for Disaster Management (NDMA) in the first phase.
The Project has identified 13 cyclone prone States and Union Territories
(UTs), with varying levels of vulnerability. These States/UTs have further
been classified into two categories, based on the frequency of occurrence
of cyclones, size of population and the existing institutional mechanism
for disaster management.

3. Main Components
• 1. Improving the warning systems for coastal communities in Andhra
Pradesh and Orissa through the installation and operation of an early
warning communication and dissemination system, and through
strengthening the operational capabilities of the state and district level
emergency operation centers.
•
• 2. Strengthening the capacity of coastal communities of Andhra
Pradesh and Orissa to maintain and operate the EWDS, and to carry
out emergency mobilization.
•

4. Focus Area – Orissa
High Vulnerability
General Growth and conditions
not up to the mark
Proximity to the Coast Line and
regions of frequent cyclones
Requirements higher than other
states

5. Project Description
The main components –
Construction of
Multipurpose Cyclone
Shelters – MCS
Construction of Approach
Roads for MCS

6. 50 new MCS to be
constructed – area 10,000
sq. ft
Ability to withstand
earthquakes
Concrete roads have been
proposed with 3.0 m carriage
way as per the standards of
the PMGSY roads
Will be able to
withstand speeds
upto 300 km/hr
weather approach road
to connect the shelters
with
villages by
strengthening the
existing village road

7. Guidelines/Norms
· Environmental Clearance is not required for construction of MCS &
approach roads.
· The proposed development does not involve diversion of forest land.
Therefore,
Forest Clearance is not required.
· As per the CRZ Map of Orissa, a total 18 MCS & approach roads are
coming under
Coastal Regulation Zone for which CRZ Clearance is required.
· As per the CRZ Map of Orissa, a total 19 MCS are coming under Coastal
Regulation
Zone for which CRZ Clearance is required.

8. · The proposed development does not involve destruction of
ecological resources
and displacement of people.
· There will be no impact on National Park, Wild Life
Sanctuary, Reserved/
Protected forest due to construction of MCS and approach
roads.
· All the MCS will be constructed on government land except
3 locations –
Chandanipal, Tandahar and Daluakani, where suitable
government land is not
available.

9. · Environmental
Management Plan has been prepared to
minimize the short term
impact during construction phase.
· No impact is envisaged during operation phase.
· Construction of MCS will not only reduce the impact of
disasters but also create a
network of disaster infrastructure including roads and relief
line.
· After construction of the MCS and the approach roads, the
socio-economic
condition of the locality will be greatly improved.

10. Public Opinion and
Participation

11. Locational choice given a thumbs up at
most Palli Sabhas .
The villagers did not foresee adverse impacts
of construction of multipurpose
cyclone shelters on their livelihood, present
occupation, social network and
surrounding environment
approach road connecting cyclone
shelter with main road should be built of
concrete, height of the approach road
increased by at least 3 to 4 ft from the
present local ground
level, particularly those near to the Chilika
Lake and the Bay of Bengal, so that it
remains accessible even in times of flood.
individuals as well as villagers
offered to donate private land, if
required for the construction
Villagers also proposed
that the building (cyclone
shelter) could be utilized
for
school, Anganwadi Centre
and a place of social and
cultural activities.

13. Main Objectives of the project
2 sq ft of Usable space within 2.25kms –
disaster resilient buildings.
To save human lives, livetock / provide
water, sanitation, electricity during
cyclones.
integrated service delivery centers such
as immunization programmes
To link these MCS with Disaster
Management Plans being prepared at
village, Gram
Panchayat and Block level
create a reliable all weather road network
that connects cyclone shelters with
different served villages

15. Financial Components and
Expenditure Analyzation
Component A.
EWDS and Capacity Building for Coastal
Communities
(Implementation Partners : NDMA &
GoAP) Rs.32.31crores
Component B. Cyclone Risk
Mitigation Infrastructure
(Implementation Partners : GoAP
along with identified line
departments) Rs.637.15 Crores
Component C. Technical Assistance for
National and State Level Capacity Building
and Knowledge Creation
Component D. Project
Management and Implementation
Support
(Implementation Partners : NIDM and
NDMA) Rs.2.31 Crores
(Implementation Partners : Project
Implementation Unit (PIU) )
Rs.34.63 Crores.

16. Project Funding
The cost of cyclone risk mitigation investments as proposed under
Component B of NCRMP will be shared on a 75:25 basis; where in 75%
funds will be provided by the Central Government as a grant to Project
States and the rest 25% matching resources will have to be provided by
the States for taking up the NCRMP Project. The remaining Components
A, C and D are 100% funded by Central Government.

17. Project Agreement

20. ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL IMPACTS
The project does not involve -
· diversion of forest land;
· destruction of ecological resources
· displacement of people
· acquisition of private land (except three sites)

21. Current Negatives
- Increase of sediment load in the run off from construction sites and increase in
turbidity in receiving streams/ surface water bodies.
- Water pollution due to sewage from construction camps
-Deterioration of air quality due to fugitive dusts emission from construction
activities
like excavation, backfilling & concreting, and hauling & dumping of earth materials
&
construction spoils, and vehicular movement along unpaved roads
-Deterioration of air quality due to gaseous emissions from construction equipment
-Domestic solid waste from construction camps & small amount of construction
debris

22. The EMP – Environmental Management
Plan
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure a safe
and clean
environment. The desired results from the environmental management
measures
proposed may not be obtained without a management plan to assure
its proper
implementation & function.

23. Fire Safety: Adequate fire safety precautions
shall be taken and required fire safety
equipment (such as fire extinguishers) shall be
provided by the Contractor.
· A readily available first aid unit including
adequate supply of sterilized dressing
materials and appliances as per the
Factories Rules in work zone
· Availability of suitable transport at all times
to take injured or sick person(s) to the
nearest hospital
The Contractor shall take all precaution to
minimize the wastage of water in the
construction process.

24. · The Contractor shall take every precaution
(water sprinkling etc.) to reduce the level of
fugitive dust generating from construction
site.
· Water shall be sprinkled at least twice
during dry day on haulage roads passing
through or near settlements (including at
least 100 m before the settlement).
· Wind barriers or screens shall be provided
in the downwind direction at air pollution
causing sources like plant sites and fine
material storage stock yards.
· The Contractor will take all precautionary
measures to prevent the wastewater
generated during construction from
entering into streams, water bodies or the
irrigation system. He will avoid construction
works close to streams or water bodies
during monsoon.
