| Dr. Alka Karande
--- "NGOs have made a lot of difference to the lives of people in the current
situation." And "NGO's rapport in the community is very good" etc. So Dr. Karande and Mr. Ubale of BMC have said that would like NGOs to do the following and thus help the BMC in their efforts. NGOs should adopt the role of watchdogs. They should "identify affected people so that ration, etc. reaches them" They should ensure that "every single needy person who is entitled to get relief does actually get it". They should "hold the government machinery accountable for this". NGOs should coordinate through the NGO Coordination Committee as mentioned in the Flooding Section of www.karmayog.com and also email BMC at ngo_mumbai@yahoo.com Aug 6, 2005 |
| BMC says the
following will be needed: - schools - teaching aids, notebooks, textbooks, teaching aids, school bags, etc., rebuilding fallen walls - clothes - blood is not a shortage currently but better to be prepared so pl organise blood drives in your area - medicines - 133 health camps have been set up - doctors are going house to house - 15000 patients are seen daily - the Health Officers are saying that there is no shortage of medicines BMC is aware that leakages and malpractices occur and would like NGOs to act as watchdogs and inform them immediately.

| Can you organise evacuation drill for students and other disaster preparation initiatives? In future, BMC would like to conduct test emergency drills. If you have the expertise to offer any such services, pl inform. - August 06, 2005 |
| A deep level
of assessment is being sought by BMC - which have been the worst affected wards, which are the localities within them, and which are the bastis within that locality - if these can be demarcated and mapped (i.e. actually put on a map of Mumbai) - also to which height did water level come at each house in such areas then this could be used for early warning to those areas in such situations in the future. Unicef Mumbai is also doing a ward-wise assessment. BMC would like NGOs and other voluntary orgs to also do so. Pl email such data to put on Karmayog and to forward to BMC etc. August 06, 2005 |
| Govt directions
for flood relief As instructed by Mr. Vatsa, Secretary, Rehabilitation, Government of Maharashtra, * For ration/grain, there is no need for the individuals to show their ration card, that is, grains are being issued without providing the Ration Card. * Compensation for damaged property, Rs.1000/- which the State is providing to the victims are for those living in the houses and not for the owners. In cases where the owner is claiming the money and not the real tenants, it should be brought to the notice of the Collector IMMEDIATELY. * Families without any form of identification such as ration card, driving license or else, can approach the local NGOs who can certify their place of residence. Ms. Farida Lambay Vice Principal, College of Social Work, Mumbai August 05, 2005 |
