The presentation is prepared to study the 2013 Kedarnath incident, starting with basic introduction to disaster, Kedarnath and related incidents that followed one after another. It includes mapping, identifying shortcomings, provide recommendations and analyse the statistics of death and injured persons. Also involves study of the relief forces and organizations involved in the rescue operations. Finally concluded with inferences and suggestions from the study.
The document summarizes the 2013 floods in Uttarakhand, India. Heavy rainfall from 14-17 June 2013 caused devastating floods and landslides, especially in Kedarnath. Over 800 people died and over 1800 went missing. The floods damaged homes, bridges and roads. While officially deemed a natural disaster, unchecked development and hydroelectric projects disrupted water balances and contributed to the floods. Massive rescue operations involving the military helped evacuate over 18,000 people. The floods showed that environmental degradation increased the region's vulnerability to natural disasters.
The document discusses the 2013 Uttarakhand floods in India. It provides an overview of Uttarakhand and describes the heavy rainfall and flooding that occurred in June 2013, which led to widespread destruction and over 5,000 deaths. It also discusses the economic and infrastructure damage caused, rescue efforts, and potential causes of the disaster like glacial melting, deforestation, and hydroelectric construction.
The document summarizes the 2013 Kedarnath tragedy in Uttarakhand, India. Heavy rainfall between June 15-18, 2013 triggered devastating floods and landslides that killed thousands. The rains were about 375% heavier than normal. The collapse of the moraine-dammed Chorabari Glacier lake also contributed to the floods. While natural factors played a role, environmental degradation from deforestation, construction, and tourism development exacerbated the impacts. The disaster destroyed homes and infrastructure, with thousands dead or missing. Rescue efforts involved military, police, and disaster response teams. The long-term recovery required rehabilitation of livelihoods and infrastructure, along with disaster preparedness reforms.
The document summarizes a case study on the 2013 Uttarakhand floods in India. It describes how heavy rainfall from June 14-17, over 375% of the average, caused devastating floods and landslides. The melting of the Chorabari Glacier triggered flooding of the Mandakini River. Over 800 people died and infrastructure like roads and buildings were damaged. Both natural factors like heavy rainfall and landslides, as well as man-made factors like deforestation, construction of hydroelectric projects, and lack of disaster management planning, contributed to the severe impacts of the floods.
The document provides information about a landslide that occurred in Malpa, Uttarakhand, India on August 18, 1998 that killed over 200 people. It summarizes the causes of the landslide as being prolonged heavy rainfall which decreased the stability of slopes composed of weak rocks and soils. The landslide dammed a river valley and wiped out the village of Malpa. The document estimates over 56 million rupees in damages and discusses recommendations to improve landslide risk management, such as developing landslide inventories, hazard maps, and early warning systems.
The document discusses the devastating floods and landslides that occurred in Uttarakhand, India in June 2013. It summarizes that over 5,700 people were presumed dead and thousands were trapped after heavy rainfall led to flash flooding and the melting of glaciers. Environmentalists argue that the human activities like unregulated construction, mining, deforestation, and over 200 hydroelectric projects disrupted the region's fragile ecology and exacerbated the effects of the extreme rainfall. The disaster highlighted the need for better disaster management plans, regulation of development, and preparation for climate change impacts in the Himalayan region.
The document summarizes the 2013 Uttarakhand disaster in India. It provides background on Uttarakhand state and describes the causes of the disaster as unprecedented rainfall due to climate change combined with unsustainable development activities like uncontrolled construction and mining. Over 500 people were killed and thousands more were missing. Massive rescue efforts were launched involving the army, air force, and volunteers. The disaster highlighted the need for stringent environmental assessments and disaster management planning to mitigate future risks.

Uttarakhand Flood 2021
NTPC project
rishi ganga, dhauli ganga hydro power project
Date – 7th February 2021
Affected Rivers – Rishi Ganga and Dhauli Ganga
At least 65 people are believed to have been washed away in the debris, with 141 people still reported missing (official estimate).
Rishiganga Hydro power project of 13.2 MW was damaged and the under-construction 520 MW Tapovan Vishnugad project downstream was washed away.
The main cause of the incident is yet to be determined but it is clear that there was an avalanche causing the flash flood in Rishi and Dhauli Ganga rivers.
The Tapovan power project
Of the four power plants that were damaged in the floods, the privately owned Rishi Ganga project was the smallest, with a generation capacity of 13.3 MW.
The debris from this plant damaged other units downstream and endangered the lives of the people working there. This includes the state-run Tapovan (520 MW) and Pipal Koti (4×111 MW) projects and the private Vishnuprayag (400 MW) project.
Building of large dams on rivers alters ecosystems by fragmenting rivers. Unsustainable developmental activities will hinder India’s commitments to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Besides, the construction and widening of roads leads to the clearing of forests that harbour various microbial, faunal, and floral communities impacting the ecosystems more adversely.
This document presents information about the Jammu and Kashmir floods of 2014. It notes that heavy monsoon rains in September 2014 caused widespread flooding and landslides across the state. The worst affected districts included Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla, Pulwama, Ganderbal, Kulgam, Budgam, Rajouri, Poonch and Reasi. Over 10 million people were affected, over 1.9 million were directly affected, and damage included thousands of damaged or destroyed homes. Relief efforts included setting up camps and distributing supplies. A needs assessment found major damage to shelter, infrastructure, agriculture and costs of food. Health facilities were impacted and major health concerns included water and sanitation issues.
The document summarizes the damage and humanitarian response caused by an earthquake in Pakistan. It details that the earthquake destroyed or damaged over 585,000 homes leaving 3 million people homeless. Nearly half of the 6,300 damaged or destroyed schools and colleges were impacted. International organizations like USAID and local groups like ERRA provided relief and rehabilitation efforts, including reconstructing schools and health facilities with the help of specialized engineering consultants.

The document summarizes information about the 2001 Gujarat earthquake in India. It describes key details of the earthquake including the date, location, magnitude, and damages. Over 18,600 people were killed and extensive damage occurred across many districts in Gujarat state. Infrastructure like buildings, bridges, and dams suffered significant collapse or damage. The earthquake also caused widespread liquefaction that impacted areas near the coast. Retrofitting of vulnerable structures was needed to improve earthquake resistance.
This document provides background information on solid waste management in Coimbatore, India. It details that Coimbatore's population has expanded significantly in recent years and now generates over 800 tons of waste per day. It describes the city's current waste collection, transportation, and disposal systems, which include door-to-door collection for 80% of residents but limited waste processing facilities. The document outlines new initiatives and measures the local government is taking to improve waste management, such as introducing waste segregation and tracking waste collection vehicles using RFID.
Puducherry was discovered by Romans in 200 BC and has since been ruled by various powers, including the Portuguese, Dutch, and French who established control in 1654. Under French rule until 1954, Puducherry developed a strong French cultural influence seen today in its architecture, grid street plan named after French figures, and French cuisine. It also became known for its spiritual centers like Sri Aurobindo Ashram which aims to transform human nature, and the universal township of Auroville just outside the city.
The document discusses the Uttarakhand disaster of June 2013, when heavy rainfall caused devastating floods and landslides in the Indian state. It provides context on Uttarakhand's geography and describes how unusually heavy monsoon rains, combined with melting glaciers, caused rivers to overflow their banks, resulting in widespread destruction of property, infrastructure, and loss of lives. Human activities like unregulated construction, mining, and tourism development are also identified as exacerbating factors that increased the region's vulnerability to natural disasters.
This presentation is about the Kedarnath cloudburst which happened in 2013. This was presented just for environmental awareness of the disaster. The following presentation also deals with how he Indian defense and the rescue team helped the victims.
Rotational and translational slides, rock falls, rock toppling, lateral spreading, and debris flows are the main types of landslides. Landslides are caused by both natural factors like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, and steep slopes, as well as human factors like inappropriate drainage and slope cutting. The 1998 Malpa landslide in Uttarakhand, India killed over 200 people after heavy rains caused a massive rock fall. Proper land use planning, drainage, afforestation, and early warning systems can help reduce landslide risks.
The document summarizes the 2013 Kedarnath floods in Uttarakhand, India. Heavy rainfall led to cloudbursts and landslides that caused devastating floods. The melting of the Chorabari glacier and an eruption of the Mandakini River severely damaged the area around Kedarnath Temple. Over 800 people were killed and thousands more went missing or were displaced. Rescue operations involving the Indian armed forces and disaster response teams helped evacuate over 18,000 people. While heavy rainfall was a natural cause, environmental degradation and unplanned construction in fragile areas exacerbated the impacts of the disaster.

Rotational and translational slides, rock falls, rock toppling, lateral spreading, and debris flows are the main types of landslides. Landslides are caused by both natural factors like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, and steep slopes, as well as human factors like inappropriate drainage and slope cutting. The 1998 Malpa landslide in Uttarakhand, India killed over 200 people after heavy rains caused a massive rock fall. Proper land use planning, drainage, afforestation, and early warning systems can help reduce landslide risks.
The document summarizes the 2013 Kedarnath floods in Uttarakhand, India. Heavy rainfall led to cloudbursts and landslides that caused devastating floods. The melting of the Chorabari glacier and an eruption of the Mandakini River severely damaged the area around Kedarnath Temple. Over 800 people were killed and thousands more went missing or were displaced. Rescue operations involving the Indian armed forces and disaster response teams helped evacuate over 18,000 people. While heavy rainfall was a natural cause, environmental degradation and unplanned construction in fragile areas exacerbated the impacts of the disaster.
This document provides an overview of floods including causes, effects, types, and management. It begins with an introduction to floods and then discusses the main causes of floods such as intense rainfall, topography, obstruction of river flows, and sedimentation. The effects of floods are categorized as primary, secondary, and tertiary. The types of floods covered are coastal floods, river floods, and flash floods. Flood management techniques include both hard engineering methods like embankments and dams as well as soft engineering methods like flood plain zoning and forecasting. A case study on the 2013 Uttarakhand floods in India details the impacts and damage caused by heavy rainfall and landslides in the region. In conclusion, some benefits of floods are
Krishna Vatsa - Resilience-based approach to Flood Risk Management in South AsiaGlobal Risk Forum GRFDavos
Panel II: “Approaches to Infrastructure Resiliency in Different National Contexts”
Krishna Vatsa, Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Advisor, South Asia UN Development Programme, Bangkok, Thailand
The June 2013 floods and landslides in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand were one of India's worst natural disasters, killing over 5,000 people. Heavy rainfall of over 375% of the average triggered flooding and melting glaciers, devastating towns along rivers like the Mandakini. Unplanned development including road construction and hydroelectric projects disrupted the fragile Himalayan ecology and contributed to the scale of the disaster. The government was unprepared for an event of this magnitude, and rescue operations took days to reach thousands of stranded pilgrims.
The document discusses urban flooding causes and management. It notes that heavy rainfall in Andhra Pradesh in September-October 2009 caused widespread flooding that displaced over 1.3 million people and killed 199. Flooding is caused by both natural factors like heavy rainfall and silted drainage systems, as well as human factors such as urbanization, deforestation, and lack of proper drainage infrastructure. Flood management requires reducing exposure to floods through land use planning, improving drainage systems, and implementing preparedness, response and recovery measures at the national, state, district and local levels in accordance with the Disaster Management Act of 2005.
A natural disaster is the effect of earths natural hazards, for example flood, tornado, hurricane, volcanic eruption, earthquake, heatwave, or landslide. They can lead to financial, environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard, also called their resilience. If these disasters continue it would be a great danger for the earth
Disaster related and management situation by pralay janaPralay.pptSomu Somu
The document defines key terms related to disasters, hazards, vulnerability, and disaster risk and management. It provides examples of natural hazards like floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and drought. For each hazard type, it outlines important considerations and steps for pre-disaster preparedness, response during a disaster, and post-disaster recovery. Key activities include evacuation, provision of relief supplies, damage assessment, and rehabilitation efforts. The document emphasizes the importance of preparedness, mitigation, and coordination among various agencies to reduce risks and support communities impacted by disasters.
The document discusses floods, their causes, effects, and management. It notes that floods are among the most common and destructive natural hazards. The main causes of flooding include prolonged rainfall, snowmelt, volcanic eruptions, storms, dam failures, and development in floodplains. Floods can damage infrastructure and agriculture, spread disease, and cause loss of life. Management strategies aim to modify floods, susceptibility, or loss burden through structural measures like dams or non-structural measures like warning systems and zoning. India's major flood-prone states are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam. The devastating 2008 Kosi flood in Bihar displaced millions and caused widespread damage costing over $500 million.
This document discusses cloudbursts and flash floods. It defines a cloudburst as a sudden, intense rainstorm over a small area caused by rapid condensation of clouds. Cloudbursts can cause flash floods by releasing large amounts of water over a short period. The document then summarizes a major flash flooding event caused by a cloudburst in Leh, India in 2010. The cloudburst dropped 14 inches of rain in 2 hours, killing 234 people and causing widespread damage through flash flooding.
Brief Description of Kerala Flood of 2018
and In starting some flood infomation is also discussed
and also given information about donation by diffferent peoples and commpanys and states.
The document summarizes a landslide that occurred in Kedarnath, India in June 2013 due to heavy rainfall. The rainfall caused widespread flooding and landslides that blocked rivers, destroyed villages, and stranded over 70,000 people. Over 5,700 people were presumed dead making it one of India's worst natural disasters. The Indian military launched rescue operations code named Operation Surya Hope and Operation Rahat to evacuate civilians using troops, helicopters, and other assets.
Floods are a common natural disaster in India that occur annually, causing widespread damage to lives and property. Some key points about floods and their management in India include:
- The major flood-prone states are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal.
- Floods are caused by heavy rainfall, river overflow, coastal flooding, and sometimes dam/reservoir failures. They impact lives, infrastructure, agriculture, and the economy.
- Flood management involves forecasting, structural measures like dams and levees, and non-structural plans to minimize damage and warn communities. Zoning also directs development away from high risk flood areas.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. DISASTER
• Disaster means catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence affecting any area from
natural and manmade causes or by accident or negligence, which results in substantial
loss of life or human suffering or damage to, and destruction of property, or damage to, or
degradation of environment and is of such nature and magnitude as to be beyond coping
capacity of the community of the affected areas.
• UNDRR- A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale
due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and
capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and
environmental losses and impacts.
4. TYPES OF DISASTER
• Cloudbursts are another example of natural causes of disaster, which also occurred in
Kedarnath.

FLOODS
• Flooding is a
temporary overflow of
water onto land that is
normally dry.
• Flooding can develop
slowly or quickly.
• Floods can result from
rain, snow, coastal
storms, storm surges,
overflows of rivers,
and dam failure.
• Types include- Flash
floods, river floods,
storm surges, coastal
floods, burn scars,
debris flows,
ice/debris jams,
snowmelt, dry wash,
dam breaks, and levee
failures.
CLOUDBURST
• A sudden, very heavy
rainfall, usually local
in nature and of
brief duration.
• Most so-called
cloudbursts occur in
connection with
thunderstorms.
• In these storms there
are violent up rushes
of air, which at times
prevent the
condensing raindrops
from falling to the
ground.
• A large amount of
water may thus
accumulate at high
levels, and if the
upward currents are
weakened the whole
of this water falls at
one time.
LANDSLIDES
•Occurs when masses
of rock, earth, or
debris move down a
slope.
•Landslides are caused
by disturbances in the
natural stability of a
slope.
•Debris flows, also
known as mudslides, a
common type of fast-
moving landslide that
tends to flow in
channels.
•They can accompany
heavy rains or follow
droughts, earthquakes,
or volcanic eruptions.
• One such multi hazard example is of Kedarnath Floods 2013.
6. INTRODUCTION TO KEDARNATH

•As per the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the
rainfall in the State was measured at 385.1 mm, against the
normal rainfall of 71.3 mm, which was in excess by 440%.
•As per the Geological Survey of India (GSI), caused the
melting of Chorabari Glacier at the height of 3800 metres.
•Eruption of the Mandakini River causing heavy floods in
the Rudraprayag district and adjacent areas.
•The enormous volume of water also induced to erosion along
all the river valleys, which in turn, triggered landslides at a
number of places.

16. SUGGESTIONS
SOURCE- https://www.indiatoday.in/mail-today/story/kedarnath-survivors-tell-horrific-tales-about-disaster-167313-2013-06-18
Government recommendations
•Flood Plain Zoning Act regulating construction within the flood plain of
a river should be implemented strictly.
•For clearance of all hydro-power and other mega projects in
ecologically sensitive regions like Uttarakhand, the Disaster Impact
Assessment (DIA) should also be made compulsory besides
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

landslides is critical.
•Effective stabilization of slopes in shear and weak zones be undertaken
using scientific techniques available at national/international levels.
•A Special Central Programme be undertaken for construction of new
roads and renovation of existing roads in a scientific manner.
Inferences and suggestions
•Preparation and implementation of early disaster management and mitigation plan.
•Awareness and training of public and rescue forces
•Emergency disaster fund stock
