Context:

Extreme vulnerabilities of the Indian Sub Continent provide a need for an organized information system for disaster response at District, State and National levels with a key integration of private sector companies with Government and other relief agencies. The Indian Ocean tsunami and the recurring natural disasters in India annually are illustrations when the need for a corporate data base of manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of essential humanitarian relief supplies in the public domain was found to be a critical gap. With the integration of technology and partnerships for Humanitarian needs at times of disaster the CDRN is an aggregation tool to consolidate and enable emergency needs and supply process for disasters. This is both in terms of pro active risk reduction and to manage response, relief and rehabilitation needs for continued awareness.

This aggregation of needs and supplies for times of disasters from both private sector and relief agencies provides further impetus to the ongoing needs for organised response. Attempting at the right information at the right time for the right people helps in collation of critical information for rapid and quantitative decision making for times of emergencies. Thus the need for a macro and micro management of information base to match the needs and supplies for inkind donation / supplies / volunteers.

Objectives of CDRN training for NGOs:

The principle objectives of the training program are:

* To introduce the Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN) to NGOs, Donors, Supplies and government bodies and familiarise participants with its application during disasters and also for providing real time information of needs to potential suppliers and donors for prepositioning needs before disasters.

* To prepare the participants for the operational complexities of humanitarian aid such that they are able to contribute as effectively as possible to field response.

* To create platform for exchange of ideas and sharing experiences on Disaster Supply Chain Management.

By the end of the training participants should be able to:

*Use CDRN during disasters to post their needs/requirements in terms of both human resource and products required for relief as well as rehabilitation phase.
*Use CDRN before disasters to pre position their requirements for skilled volunteers and products required.
*Effectively coordinate with the private sector for needs fulfilment.
*Highlight needs for potential donors to match with supplies/donations.

Methodology:

The training consists of structured learning exercises, case-studies and simulations. We favour a participatory approach and interaction among participants and organisers. Organisers and participants share experiences, best practices and lessons learned to enhance learning opportunities to favour the continuous improvement and development of the Corporate Disaster Resource Network (CDRN) to deliver the services effectively and timely.

The following approaches will be used:- Case Studies, Experience Sharing, Simulation, Presentations and Interactive sessions.

Contents

* Introduction: – Presentation on CDRN
* Simulation Exercise depicting general chaos during disasters highlighting the importance of an information system during the emergency phase
* Case Studies: – Bihar Kosi Flood, Assam Flood, Andhra Flood & Karnataka Flood
* Experience sharing on problems faced during disaster relief by NGOs and suppliers.
* Demonstration of the system: – Corporate Disaster Resource Network System
* Practical Session for NGOs operating the CDRN system
* Feedback Session on the CDRN system
* Distribution of training Kit (Includes manual, brochure etc)

Target Audience:

The training is targeted for INGOs / NGOs / CBOs / Government Bodies / Suppliers & Donors

India Food Banking Network, IFBN Launched

Launch of The India Food Banking Network is a giant step towards the eradication of hunger which will surely enhance our strength in the fight against hunger. The Aidmatrix Foundation and The Global FoodBanking Network hosted the launch of The India Food Banking Network, IFBN, Planning forum in Delhi .

India Food Banking Network is a system that will move food from donors to the people who need it the most and engage all sectors of society towards this effort. This food banking system will feed millions of people each year,and become a vehicle for building public awareness about hunger and nutrition, and serve as a powerful voice that drives policy decisions and initiatives that impact the food security of individuals and communities.

At the inaugural address Dr Sam Pitroda,Chairman – IFBN emphasized the need of establishment of IFBN to eliminate hunger in India. “Hunger affects generations, communities, societies and countries. When technology, productivity, logistics and transportation have been increased by leaps and bounds, we can’t choose to ignore the fact that billions of our people are dying from hunger or sleeping half fed every night. Launch of The India Food Banking Network is a giant step towards the eradication of hunger which will surely enhance our strength in the fight against hunger.” He stated.

IFBN is establishing a national food banking system focused on collecting surplus and unsalable food from the agricultural community and from the the food industry like manufacturers, distributors, and retailers catering to both urban and rural needs. Through this system, the India Food Banking Network initiates an infrastructure for serving the hungry and catering to the nutritional needs. Governor Scott McCallum, CEO Aidmatrix highlighted “how a technology driven initiative like the IFBN will truly provide the systems and mechanism for an effective food procurement, handling and distribution”

Veena S. Rao, IAS – Retired Secretary Government of India, along with Chris Rebstock – Vice President, The Global FoodBanking Network shared their views and ideas on the relevancy of food bank in India and discussed opportunities and hurdles in adaptation of food banking and innovative solutions for food security.

According to Chris, “Food Banks are viable tools to promote food security. When hunger is the cause of maximum deaths per year, It was necessary to establish a technology based infrastructure or a platform where the various working sectors like government, NGOs and private can come and work towards rooting out hunger.”

Veena S. Rao highlighted to the audience about health related issues that food banking also addresses in terms of providing hygienic, pure and clean surroundings while storing and serving food. “There is huge difference between nutritional security and food security. The need of the hour is to provide the required nutritional package. There is a possibility that many may not die of hunger but other related problems or diseases.” Said Rao.

The India Food Banking Network addresses the issue of hunger related problems prevalent in all age groups and will ensure the permanent access of food within the country. The goal of IFBN is to create permanent and positive change regarding food issues in communities by leveraging and aligning resources among the public sector, private sector and the voluntary sector.

J.K Sinha, Honorable member of National Disaster Management Authority appreciated the initiative and purpose of IFBN. “Food becomes more important at times of disasters . With so many corporates and organizations coming on board, the difficult task has become easy.” Stated Sinha.

“The concept of IFBN is a bridge for corporates and recipients to pool and distribute food with technology expertise of Aidmatrix. There is no doubt that IFBN will prove as an extremely useful tool for handling hunger in the coming times.” Said V.N. Gaur, CEO – The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, who also appreciated the IFBN focus on food safety during the salvaging, handling and distribution process.

Along with these case studies by Munishwar Vasudeva, Business head- Adani Group, Leena Joseph, DGM- Naandi Foundation and Dr Murli -Programmes Officer- World Food Programme, India were presented to showcase the success and opportunities in Food Banking. Also there was case studies on the opportunities in development market place by Hemanth Kumar- Vice President, CSO Partners who presented the upcoming online initiative on NGO marketplace.

A Powerful New Learning Opportunity

Managing Systems 

Systems Thinking and System Dynamics Modeling:

Practical Tools for 21^st Century Challenges

New Delhi- 26 – 28 Nov 2009 

Introduction

We live in a world where our very survival depends on how we adapt to challenges. Try to imagine your life moving into the next few decades.  The tests we will face in the future will be much harder to tackle than those in the past; natural resources are depleting, the climate is changing, global finance is collapsing – all of these will have grave impacts on the growth, development and survival of institutions, individuals and each one of us.   

One of the main reasons why we have such a poor track record in dealing with the challenges posed by the physical world, is our inability to recognize patterns, structures and consequent behavior of various systems.  Systems are all around us; in nature, factories, trade and commerce, our cities and indeed in our families and communities.  Such systems have distinct characteristics and components which work together to serve a purpose.  These components are linked together through “feedback” loops and delays in information flow that often lead to unintended, unexpected and even counter-intuitive results.    

Over the course of the three day course we will learn about basic systems analysis and the tools required taking advantage of all sorts of systems that exist in your work and life.   

Objectives of the Training

• To give participants the necessary tools to analyze, simplify and take advantage of complex systems that are part of their professional and personal lives. 
• To expose them to new methodologies for improving personal and institutional performance, achieving long term growth and minimizing risks.

The floods triggered by heavy rains under the influence of a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal has affected 6 states – Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa. It has destroyed standing crops, civic infrastructure, electricity and telecom facilities and paralysed road and rail transport. 

n Orissa, incessant rain across the state has caused flash floods in Balasore and Mayurbhanj districts. This has affected more than 60,000 people in 103 villages. Flood water of Budhabalang, Gangahar, Sono, Kansabas and Jalaka rivers have entered the villages. The people from several areas in Mayurbhanj and Balasore are being shifted to safer places.

In Goa, several people remained trapped in their houses in the border taluka of Canacona where over 250 houses have collapsed so far in the flood.

Air Force helicopters dropped food and drinking water packages to hundreds of villages that remained cut off after roads were submerged or washed away.

Andhra Pradesh- The situation is equally grim in Krishna, Kurnool and Mahabubnagar districts, where thousands of people are still stranded in floodwaters due to heavy rains that battered the state for the past six days. Massive rescue operations are on to evacuate people from inundated areas in several districts of the state. Army personnel and National Disaster Reserve Force have also deployed in rescue operations. 14 trains diverted on Guntakal division due to flooding. Chief Minister K Roasaiah is reviewing the flood situation constantly.

On jurala, the first major dam on the Krishna in the state of Andhra Pradesh, 49 flood gates were lifted to release over seven lakh cusecs of water into the Krishna River. Thungabhadra, which is also in spate, lifted all the 33 gates of the dam near hospet in Karataka and released 4 lakh cuscus of water down stream. Srisailam, which has been full for the past 15 days, lifted 11 of its 12 huge crest gates to a height of 40 feet and released 11 lakh cusecs of water to the Nagarjunasagar dam.

Though the situation in Kurnool and Mahabubnagar is improving, Krishna and Guntur District are likely to get affected by floods. “The administration has been put on high alert and people living in low-laying areas have been asked to shift to safer places, as heavy discharge of waters from Nagarjunasagar dam and Prakasam barrage are likely to submerge several villages in the next 12-24 hours.

Karnataka: The entire north Karnataka has been ravaged by the fury of rains the like of which the State has not seen in the recent past. Probably the damage to life and property is much more than what is being estimated. Hundreds of thousands of homes have been destroyed in floods, rendering large number of people homeless. Crops have been lost and farmers have suffered losses running into crores of rupees. Even the speedy relief measurers will take some time to reach the affected people.

There is respite from rains and further flooding in north Karnataka since the last 12 hours while coastal and central parts of the state continue to receive moderate to heavy rains. The death toll mounted to 170. Water levels have also started receding in the flooded areas. But severe damage to roads, bridges and state/national highways is hampering supplies and rehabilitation works.

The state has, meanwhile, intensified rescue and relief operations in the worst-hit districts to provide succor and shelter to thousands of people, who were forced to flee their villages and towns due to the flash floods that left a trail of death and destruction. ‘About 177,500 people are being sheltered and fed at 598 rehab centres opened across the affected districts. Many others stranded in villages and smaller towns due to flood waters and damage to road links have been shifted to school buildings and community halls. 

About 20,000 food packets air-droppedin the marooned villages of Bijapur, Bagalkot, Bellary, Koppal, Raichur and Gulbarga districts as the affected people remained cut-off. A round-the-clock flood relief cell had been set up at Air Force station Yelahanka and Hakimpet to meet the situation. They also dropping about 750 Kgs of relief material mainly food packets in and around the flood-hit areas. 88 food camps have been set up and schools and community halls are being used as temporary relief camps. One lakh rupees each has been released to the family of the deceased.

- The All India Trade union Congress (AITUC) has urged all its affiliated unions to contribute a day’s wages to the Karnataka Chief Minister’s Relief Fund as a contribution to the ongoing rain relief work. AITUC had also directed trade unions to actively participate in the relief work like collecting clothes, medicines and money.

Response of Armed forces: The armed forces on Saturday intensified search, rescue and relief operations in flood-ravaged Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

The IAF has deployed 13 helicopters — 5 MI-8 and 8 Chetaks in the two States and they have flown 17 sorties. In addition, 4 AN-32 transport aircraft carried out 13 sorties airlifting men and material provided by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Pune, to the affected areas, a Defence Ministry release said.

One AN-32 sortie carrying relief material to Kurnool, from Arkullaum to Hyderabad, had to be diverted to Karnataka as the road link was washed away in many places. Relief material, boats and other equipment later reached Kurnool.

Many jawans and boats that were to be moved from Bangalore to Bellary were held up due to heavy rain in the west coast. Navy personnel from Karwar and Goa are engaged in relief operations in Karnataka.

The IAF will also fly the IL-76, its largest transport aircraft, from Bhubaneswar to Bangalore/Puttapurthy, to transport 350 men and 50 boats.

An additional 100 men and 30 boats are also being flown in from Pune to Hyderabad. Further, 270 men and 30 boats will be airlifted from Bhatinda and Delhi.

The Navy has deployed 12 diving teams with Gemini boats. Of these, two are in Vijayawada, three in Mahbubnagar, two in Kannur, three in Gadag and two in Karwar.
