Run, Survivor, Run: It’s not quake, it’s not wave, it’s the Home Ministry

Evacuate, says Govt, its tidal wave alert based on web posting & note from a US firm

PRANAB DHAL SAMANTA & SONU JAIN

Posted online: Friday, December 31, 2004 at 0215 hours IST

NEW DELHI, DECEMBER 30: On Black Sunday, they worked in splendid isolation. Today, a vague message from an experimental US firm and some random Internet downloads made the Union Home Ministry jerk its knee—and issue a tsunami alert at 10 am to all affected states, even asking them to begin evacuation.

This set off a tidal wave of panic that hit the already battered and bruised coastline, from Tamil Nadu and Kerala to Andaman and Nicobar Islands and brought relief work to a standstill. For at least eight hours.

It was only at 4.30 pm that Union Science and Technology Minister Kapil dismissed the alert urging all relief and rescue agencies to get back to the work that lay ahead.
In fact, the text of the Home Ministry’s warning—which until midnight hasn’t yet been withdrawn—is a startling example of how not to communicate in the aftermath of a disaster.
‘‘A number of experts from outside (the) country are suggesting that another Tsunami may hit Indian Ocean today afternoon in the event of an earthquake of high intensity which may happen near Australian region’’.

The alert admits that the Ministry was yet to carry out an assessment but shows touching faith in ‘‘various sources and the websites’’. And on this basis, it asks respective states and union territories to put their administrative machinery on ‘‘alert in coastal areas’’.

But its punch-line was the one that kicked off the panic: ‘‘Arrangements may also be tied up for evacuation of people if required. Shore line up to 2 km into the main land may be made non-accessible to the general public’’. The same advice was sent out to the Armed Forces who, in turn, put their troops on alert for evacuation instead of continuing with the relief work.
8 hrs later, Sibal steps in to say hogwash; alert not withdrawn yet.

Within minutes, scenes of panic played out on TV from all across the affected areas. This led to a further spiral of panic prompting Sibal to make a few appearances and downplay the alert.
It was only at his press conference that he said: ‘‘There was no official warning that a tsunami will hit the east coast once again in the next few hours.’’ Using very strong words, he said that any claims of a predictions were ‘‘hogwash’’ and ‘‘unscientific’’ that need to be rejected.
‘‘We can only identify fault lines in the earth crust and suggest these areas might be prone to earthquake,’’ Sibal said.

When confronted with this, A K Rastogi, Secretary in-charge of disaster management in the Home Ministry, said: ‘‘I have no further comment. But my hunch is that the minister (Sibal) is being quoted out of context.’’

Rastogi said the alert was based on inputs downloaded from a website of tsunami warning centre for Australia and Asia-Pacific. This was contested because the only reliable centre in the region is the one located at Hawaii. But Rastogi’s refrain: ‘‘I have no further comments’’.
This was a complete contrast from the fact that several rooms down the same corridor, the MEA spokesperson was spelling out an ambitious effort being put together by India, US, Australia and Japan.

Interestingly, one of the ‘‘foreign expert warnings’’ that formed the basis of the alert was a note passed from the Department of Science and Technology to the crisis management cell of the Home Ministry.

This was a mail received from a Portland-based agency Terra Research that claimed its sensors installed in the US indicated that there was a possibility of a quake of the magnitude of 7.9-8.1 over next 12 hours at the fault line between Sumatra and New Zealand. If it happens in the water, the chance of tsunamis was real, said the warning.

When contacted by The Indian Express, Michael McNulty from Terra Research said: ‘‘It’s a new technology with very little known about it as yet.’’ Claiming that the firm can pick ‘‘signals’’ of earthquakes more then 7 on the Richter scale, McNulty claimed that his team had a forewarning of the December 26 quake but by the time they analysed data, it had already struck.

‘‘This time, we did not want to take chances, so we contacted the Indian embassy and we applaud the Indian Govt for the speedy reaction and evacuation,’’ said McNulty

Wall to be constructed along coastline

By Our Staff Reporter
CHENNAI, DEC. 27. A wall will be constructed soon along the coastline from Palavakkam up to a distance of 30 km, to protect those living close to the shore from nature's fury, a release from the Union Surface Transport Minister, T.R.Baalu, said today. Mr. Baalu after inspecting Palavakkam, Kottivakkam, Neelangarai, Sozhinganallur, Kudimiyandithoppu, Panayur and Vettuvankeni, on Sunday, said that the wall would be constructed at a cost of Rs. 1 crore. The release said he consoled those who lost their family members.

Car parking in Chennai

It is becoming difficult to park cars in the city of Chennai nowadays thanks to

1. Increased vehicles on the road
2. Poor parking management
3. Vehicle owners parking their vehicles without care for others, vehicles are parked thoughtlessly taking up more space than required, two wheelers taking up as much space as a car is not uncommon.
4. Unscrupulous “paid parking contractors”, who will put up boards in areas which the Corporation has not allotted to them. I am attaching a list of allotted paid parking areas and the fee in the city of Chennai. If you do find a location where you have to pay for parking let me know. I am putting together a list of such areas and hope someday, I will be able to hand over the illegal paid parking area list to some Govt. agency for action. By this action these contractors congest the otherwise free areas.
5. Auto Rickshaw stands which are allowed in locations which are not safe (close to a turning/corner) or which take up valuable parking space and allow these unsavoury elements to gather and make a nuisance of themselves.
6. Builders, who provide gates the entire length of their building for their residents and whose watchmen will resist all attempts to allow you to park your vehicle. This is becoming more common nowadays since the builder can save space within the compound by not providing space for vehicles to negotiate a turn or for parking, The best option is therefore to have a car park abutting the road and provide gates along the entire width of the compound abutting the road.
7. Shop owners and businesses who claim ownership of parking space outside their shops or offices and will not allow you to park your car unless you are entering their shop. Example Namma MTR on GN Chetty Road, almost every shop in the city does this.

Here is the list of parking slots in Chennai with the fee payable for each slot.
