In addition, the components should also provide for redundancy in communication using satellite phones or any other similar technology that could be provided to key officials for communicating the warnings in the villages along with suitable backup systems. The aim to establish a fool proof Early Warning Dissemination System; and
• Strengthening capacity: (i) in operating, maintaining and regular use of the EWDS equipment by officials and village representatives, and (ii) of communities in disaster preparedness and response by preparing disaster management plans and arranging mock drills etc.

Component C: : Technical Assistance for Cyclone Hazard Risk Mitigation, Capacity Building and Knowledge Creation
The State Disaster Management Plan 2016, in Section 8.7 has identified 7 broad themes under the SENDAI framework of action for disaster risk reduction in the state in the 13th five year plan period. These themes were also subsumed into the New Delhi Declaration 2016 as adopted in the Asian Ministerial Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction. For achieving the long term (15 years) goals as laid out in the ‘Asian Regional Plan for implementation of the SENDAI Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, 2016’, the National Disaster Management Plan 2016, and the ‘calls on governments’ as in the New Delhi Declaration, KSDMA has formulated the 7 broad themes and have matrix linked each theme to a specific call as in the New Delhi Declaration, for implementation. The first and the foremost importance is given to Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction.

Novelty of implementation of component C of NCRMP will be key to the long term success of the project. Through these funds, the state intents to create a community based disaster risk reduction structure in the local self-government (LSG) level in the project implementing panchayaths/ municiplalities/ corporations and beyond. The LSG level structure involves creation of LSG Disaster Management Committees and four types of Emergency Response Teams and their dedicated capacity building and long term training and capacity building continuation plan.

With the overall aim of achieving the goals of Sendai Framework and the New Delhi Declaration, 2016 as identified in the Kerala State Disaster Management Plan 2016 (KSDMP, 2016), the concept of Civil Defence and Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction programmes are integrated under the District Disaster Management Authorities and State Disaster Management Authority by converging funds under various projects and schemes of Government of India and the State. The KSDMP, 2016 has identified the creation and operationalisation of Civil Defence in all Taluks of the State with the strength of 3000 volunteers in total, in the next 5 year period. Component C of NCRMP will also be used as part of this overall umbrella concept to ensure common capacities and trainings.

 

Sl. No	Broad theme for implementation in 2017-22 state plan scheme of KSDMA	Call on Government in New Delhi Declaration 2016	SENDAI priority	Requirement
1	Community based disaster risk reduction – formation, training and capacity building of Civil Defence Corps in Kerala	Call 10: Strengthen inclusive collaboration at the local level to build on community initiative, knowledge and resources, and leverage national policies and programmes to achieve resilience. Call 5: Encourage meaningful participation and support representation of women, children and youth, and persons with disabilities in leadership role for disaster risk reduction	Priority 4: Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction	Section 4 of the Civil Defence Act, 1968 envisages the creation of Civil Defence Corps in all states. In a state like Kerala where the local community involvement in preparedness and response to disasters are high, creation of Civil Defence Corps will formalize the First Responder structure.
