Advertisement for Engagement of State Coordinating Officers
by under NDMA supported project, ‘M 8.7 Shillong 1897
Earthquake Scenario: NE Multi-State Exercise and Preparedness
Campaign’
Background:
Shillong Earthquake of magnitude 8.7 on Richter scale that took place on June 12, 1897
had devastated the Shillong plateau and affected the whole of northeast India. It was felt
in an area of approximately 4,550,000 sq. km. and had ruined masonry buildings over a
large area of 390,000 square kilometer and was felt over 650,000 square kms,
from Burma to New Delhi. Numerous buildings in the neighbouring country,
Bhutan were also heavily damaged.
A revisit of Shillong earthquake in the present day context may present a very damaging
scenario because of polarization of population in the capital cities of North East states
and the rapid change in building typology in the region viz. traditional buildings have
been replaced by un-engineered concrete structures. Thus, a scientifically developed
hypothetical earthquake scenario for the 1897 Shillong Earthquake could reveal a lot
more information thereby bringing to the fore the challenges required to be met by the
state, the private sector and the society.
Project Brief:
CSIR-NEIST in association with National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA),
Government of India is taking up a scenario exercise for the repeat of the M 8.7 Shillong
1897 earthquake, to assess the anticipated impact in the NE region. The exercise involves
undertaking various capacity building and sensitization activities for earthquake
preparedness and mitigation. The project shall also assess multi-state seismic hazard
preparedness for disaster management and identify gaps. The exercise collation of data on built environment through collection of secondary data and capacity building of
engineers to develop the scientific scenario and conduct series of capacity building
programmes for government officials on scenario based Incident Response System and
Table-top simulation exercises for effective response to repeat of such an earthquake,
followed by a multi-State Mega Mock Exercise in the year 2014.
