DISPLACEMENT BY DISASTERS

INTRODUCTION

Disaster is defined as the “serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a

society causing widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses which exceed

the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources”. They are the

result of a combination of risk factors that can be summarized as the exposure of people and

assets to hazards, and their pre-existing vulnerability to them.

Displacement is the forced or obliged movement, evacuation or relocation of individuals

or groups of people from their homes or places of habitual residence in order to avoid the threat

or impact of a disaster. It refers to situations where people are forced to move by other people

and organisations, including local or national authorities, but also when people act of their own

will in response to the threats and severe conditions they face1.

Disasters brought on by natural hazards force millions of people to flee their homes each

year across all regions of the world. The displacement caused is a global phenomenon, and its

growing scale, frequency and complexity pose huge challenges for exposed and vulnerable

populations, Governments, Humanitarian and Development Organizations and Disaster Risk

Managers2.

THE GLOBAL PICTURE

Latest estimates

More than 19.3 million people were displaced by disasters in 100 countries in 2014.

Since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people have been displaced by disasters each

year - equivalent to one person every second.

Displacement by hazard type

17.5 million people were displaced by disasters brought on by weather-related hazards in

2014, and 1.7 million by geophysical hazards.

An average of 22.5 million people have been displaced each year by climate or weather-

related disasters in the last seven years - equivalent to 62,000 people every day.

2 Global Estimates 2014 - People Displaced by Disasters, p. 7

The largest increases in displacement are related to weather and climate-related

hazards, and floods in particular.

Climate change, in tandem with people’s increasing exposure and vulnerability, is

expected to magnify this trend, as extreme weather events become more frequent and

intense in the coming decades.

Displacement trend from 1970 to 2014

Latest historical models suggest that even after adjusting for population growth, the

likelihood of being displaced by a disaster today is 60 per cent higher than it was four

decades ago.

1998 was a peak year for displacement, which correlates with the strongest iteration of El

Nino on record. Extreme weather events associated with it included hurricane Mitch,

which devastated several countries in Central America.

Displacement by region and country

Asia is home to 60 per cent of the world’s population, but accounted for 87 per cent of the

people displaced by disasters worldwide in 2014. 16.7 million people were forced to flee

their homes in the region. Eleven of the 20 countries worst affected by displacement over

the last seven years are in Asia.

Europe experienced double its average level of displacement for the past seven years in

2014, with 190,000 people displaced, most of them by Flooding in the Balkans.

Displacement in Africa was three times lower than average in 2014 in absolute terms, but

many African countries experienced high levels relative to their population size. The

highest level of displacement in relative terms in 2014 was in Sudan, where rainy season

floods displaced 159,000 people.

In Chile, one of the largest displacements of the year highlighted the benefit of

investment in disaster prevention and preparedness. Around 970,000 people fled low-

lying coastal areas in response to an 8.2 magnitude offshore earthquake and tsunami

warning. Most people were able to return home the following day.

Developing countries are consistently the worst affected, with almost 175 million people

displaced since 2008, accounting for 95 per cent of global total. The figure for 2014 was

17.4 million, or 91 per cent of the global total.

-3-

The big three: China, India and the Philippines

China, India and the Philippines experienced the highest levels of displacement in

absolute terms, both in 2014 and from 2008 to 2014.

Disasters related to floods, storms, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the three

countries accounted for 15 of the 20 largest displacements in 2014.

Multiple and repeated displacements in the same parts of the three countries point to

areas of particularly high exposure and vulnerability.

The Philippines was among the three worst-affected countries in relative and absolute

terms, both in 2014 and over the 2008 to 2014 period.

Large-scale evacuations prompted by two category-three typhoons in the Philippines

caused the largest displacements worldwide for the second year running in 20143.

INDIAN SCENE

The frequency and severity of natural disasters in India are increasing. In 2013-14 alone

India witnessed several major natural disasters- floods and landslides in Uttarakhand, drought in

Maharashtra, cyclones Phailin and Hudhud in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, respectively - that

affected millions of people and caused an unprecedented scale of financial loss, including the

cost of response and recovery. The level of intensity and the degree of loss raise the question

regarding the effectiveness/ preparedness of disaster risk management in India.

India is among the world's most vulnerable areas to natural hazards, particularly

earthquakes, floods, droughts, cyclones, and landslides. The Global Climate Change and

Vulnerability Index 2011 ranked India as the second "extreme risk" country in the world after

Bangladesh, vulnerable to natural and Climate Change hazards. As per the latest seismic

zoning map brought out by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), about 60% of the country is

prone to earthquakes of intensity VII or more on the Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik (MSK) scale.

Over 8% of India's landmass is susceptible to cyclone hazards and almost 76% of the 7,516

kilometer-long coastline is prone to cyclones and tsunamis. Approximately 68% of the country is

drought prone; 12% of the area is susceptible to floods, and approximately 15% of the total area

of the country is susceptible to landslides. 3 Op.cit., Global Estimates 2015, pp. 8-9

-4-

Climate-induced hazards are very common in the entire Himalayan region. According to

the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the

incidence of floods in the Himalayan region are expected to increase as a result of a rise in

precipitation during the monsoon season and glacial melt, both occurring due to changing

climate.

In addition, India's high level of poverty and rapid urban growth further increases the

vulnerability of its people to the impact of natural hazards and Climatic Changes. New residents

and urban poor living in peri-urban areas and informal settlements concentrated in high-risk

zones are particularly vulnerable to natural hazards due to lack of adequate infrastructure,

insufficient enforcement of building codes, a near absence of financial and insurance

mechanisms that help transfer risk, and limited access to basic and emergency services.

Thus, with urban development unable to keep up with rising demands, the vulnerability of

people and infrastructure in cities have a higher degree of defencelessness to natural hazards

and effects of climate change. It is estimated that around 200 million city dwellers in India will be

exposed to storms and earthquakes by 20504.

People Displaced By Disasters In India

India experiences high levels of displacement along its east coast, where communities

are exposed to tropical storms from the Bay of Bengal, and in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and

Yamuna river basins in the North and North-east of the country.

Northern and eastern India suffered a number of large-scale disasters caused by

exceptionally heavy rains and riverine floods in 2014. In September, the worst floods to hit

Jammu and Kashmir in 50 years displaced around 812,000 people in urban areas of the state.

Across the contested line of control with Pakistan, hundreds of thousands more were displaced

in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

In Assam, the fourth poorest state in the country,41 floods in July were followed by worse

flooding in September and October 2014, which also affected the neighbouring State of

Meghalaya. Some 367,000 people were displaced. Despite the regular occurrence of floods in

4 Economic and Political Weekly, January 31, 2015, Vol. L No. 5, p. 36

-5-

this region, few long-term measures have been put in place to mitigate flooding in the

Brahmaputra river basin.

Further south in the State of Odisha, floodwaters engulfed vast areas of the Mahanadi

river delta in July 2014 and displaced more than a million people. Mass evacuations from low-

lying areas were undertaken. On 12 October 2014, cyclone Hudhud made landfall near the

eastern port city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh as a category four storm, bringing

widespread floods and landslides. It triggered one of the most costly disasters of the year,

causing losses of around $11 billion.

Learning from experiences ahead of cyclone Phailin almost exactly a year earlier, the

Andhra Pradesh and Odisha State authorities increased their efforts to convince residents of

coastal and hill communities that they should evacuate for their own safety ahead of Hudhud.

For thousands of people from the hill tribes, this was their first time to ever leave their home

areas. The evacuation of around 600,000 people can be credited with helping to minimize

fatalities. When a huge storm hit the area 15 years earlier,10000 people were killed State

officials put the death toll from Hudhud at 41(see Annexure I for details of displacement in India

and neighbouring countries) 5.

ROLE OF THE CENTRAL AND THE STATE GOVERNMENTS

The basic responsibility for undertaking rescue, relief and rehabilitation measures in the

event of a disaster rests with the State Governments concerned. The Central Government

supplements the efforts of the State Governments by providing logistics and financial support in

case of severe Natural Disasters. The logistics support includes deployment of aircrafts and

boats, specialist team of Armed forces, Central Armed Police Forces and personnel of National

Disaster Response Force, arrangements for relief materials and essential commodities including

medicinal stores, restoration of critical infrastructure facilities including communication network

and such other assistance as may be required by the affected States to meet the situation

effectively6.

Given the vulnerability and exposure to disasters, over the past decade India has made

major strides in formulating guidelines, procedures, and putting in place systems to address

5 Ibid, pp. 36-37; 40-41

6 India, Ministry of Home Affairs, Annual Report 2014-15, p. 192

-6-

such events. The exposure and experience from past disasters (particularly the Odisha super

cyclone in 1999, the Gujarat earthquake in 2001, and the tsunami of 2004) have brought

disaster management to the forefront of India's development agenda with the enactment of the

Disaster Management Act in 2005.

The Government of India has in place an institutional and strategic approach towards

disaster management- the Ministry of Home Affairs is the key nodal agency for coordinating

hazard relief and mitigation activities in conjunction with the National Disaster Management

Authority (NDMA), the State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs), the National Institute of

Disaster Management (NIDM) for trainings and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).

The Twelfth Five-Year has outlined the aim of consolidating progress made towards disaster

preparedness, prevention and risk mitigation by integrating them into the development process7.

The concerned State Governments undertake relief activities according to the magnitude

of the ground situation, in the wake of natural disasters from the State Disaster Response Fund

(SDRF) already placed at their disposal in accordance with items and norms approved by the

Government of India. When the available resources are inadequate in the State, an additional

assistance is extended from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) by following the laid

down procedure, which includes an assessment based on the spot field visit of an Inter-

Ministerial Central Team. The financial assistance is towards relief and not for compensation of

loss as suffered. The details of the losses due to natural disasters reported by the State

Governments/ Union Territories during the last one year and current year are at Annexure-II.

The Ministry of Home Affairs does not maintain centrally status of farmers/ affected

families whom relief is provided, since execution of relief activities on the ground is the

responsibility of the State concerned. As per the scheme of SDRF the State Government is

responsible to ensure that money drawn from the SDRF account is actually utilized for the

purposes for which the SDRF has been set up and only on item of expenditure and as per

norms approved by the GOI. The State Accountant General is required to monitor the

expenditure as per the items and norms of assistance. The Comptroller and Auditor General of

India conducts audit of SDRF every year. State-wise details of the memoranda submitted to this

Ministry and assistance approved from NDRF during the last one year and current year, are

7 Op.cit., EPW, pp. 36-37

given at Annexure-III. The details of allocation and releases from SDRF and NDRF during the

last one year and the current year are given at Annexure-IV 8.

GLOBAL POLICY FRAMEWORKS AND PROCESSES OF RELEVANCE FOR DISASTER-RELATED DISPLACEMENT

The Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030 acknowledges the

large number of disaster displaced persons identified in recent years as one of the devastating

effects of disasters. The Framework underlines, inter alia, the need to prepare for “ensuring

rapid and effective response to disasters and related displacement, including access to safe

shelter, essential food and non food relief supplies” and encourages States to adopt, at national

and local levels “policies and programmes addressing disaster induced human mobility to

strengthen the resilience of affected people and that of host communities as per national laws

and circumstances.” It also calls for “transboundary cooperation to build resilience and reduce

disaster risk, including displacement risk.

The Agenda for Sustainable Development also adopted in 2015 contains a

commitment “to cooperate internationally to ensure the humane treatment”, inter alia, of

“displaced persons,” and to build the resilience of those in vulnerable situations to climate-

related extreme events and other disasters.

The first World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) will be held in Istanbul on 23 and 24 May

2016 and will bring together Governments, Humanitarian Organizations, people affected by

humanitarian crises and other relevant stakeholders to develop a set of concrete actions aimed

at enabling countries and communities to better prepare for crisis and emergencies, including

preparing for increased frequency and intensity of Climate Change related natural hazards. It

will be important to ensure the inclusion of human mobility challenges into such proposals and

promote actions that can protect people from being displaced and ensure movement in dignity

and safety when displacement is unavoidable.

The United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development

(Habitat III) will take place in Quito, Ecuador, on 17-20 October 2016. The goal of the

conference is to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable urban development,

assess accomplishments to date, address poverty, and identify and address new and emerging

8 Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 1344 dated 3.3.2015

challenges. The first implementing conference of the Post-2015 sustainable development and

climate change agendas, Habitat III offers a unique opportunity to discuss the important

challenge of urban areas vulnerability to Climate Change (especially informal settlements) and

as destinations for those uprooted by Climate Change effects9.

CONCLUSION

As most disasters are as much man-made as they are natural, much more can be done

in order to strengthen community-based and national resilience to prevent the worst impacts of

natural hazards, and to better prepare for events that cannot be avoided. Policies and practice

that protect and respect the rights of displaced people and those at risk of displacement, and

that target their specific needs, can play a vital role in mitigating impacts, breaking recurrent

patterns and avoiding protracted situations.10 After a detailed exercise, the Ministry of Home

Affairs in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has

developed a draft India Disaster Recovery Framework, which also incorporates views/

comments of the States and other stakeholders. A draft executive guidelines for its

implementation also has been prepared11.
