EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The nature and intensity of natural disasters has changed considerably over the
period of time. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) and management is an activity that
addresses the risks associated with potential hazards, and as such it becomes
an integral part of development. Consequently, it is oriented more towards the
processes and actions than the events themselves. DRR is based on a
continuous assessment of vulnerabilities, risks and it is greatly influenced by the
kind and extent of the role of multiple actors and stakeholders. In terms of such
unpredictable complexity, contingency planning essentially requires defining as
to what preparedness mechanisms will be used, when and where. Before a
response is required, contingency planning affords the agencies, governmental
and humanitarian, the opportunity to define when, where and why their
emergency response resources will be deployed, when emergency funds will be
used and what kind of responses, materials and types of personnel they will
need and to what extent.
The cascade of monsoon related events occurring from 2010 to 2013

tested the mettle of both the governmental agencies and humanitarian outlays.
The lessons learnt from unprecedented floods of 2010 followed by heavy
monsoon rainfalls of 2011 and flash flooding in 2012-13 call for preemption by
preparedness, quick and effective control of the situation and above all, saving
human lives. However, effective actions necessitate the prior existence of
practical and well tested contingency plans. The Sindh Monsoon Contingency
Plan embodies an integrated contingency planning based on the experience of
government agencies, districts administrations, armed forces, humanitarian
assistance organizations and other stakeholders. It calls for translating their
recommendations and collective wisdom into action; thereby ensuring
synergized and optimal utilization of resources by all in the field while
complementing each other with linkages and better coordination in support of
such actions.
1
PDMA continues to emphasize upon the Contingency Planning process

not only as a preparedness measure for emergency response to natural hazards
but also as a guide to the long-term strategy for meeting such eventuality. This
plan focuses on planning for the upcoming Monsoon – 2015 to identify hazards
and analyzing the related risks for their humanitarian impacts and the associated
adverse affects on the socio-economic infrastructure, and simultaneously
defining the roles and responsibilities of diverse stakeholders for preparedness
and response.
PDMA, keeping its vigil eye, carried out a series of joint sessions for
Sindh Monsoon Contingency Plan-2015 with district administrations, line
departments, the armed forces and other stakeholders to keep abreast and
anticipate the perceiving threat levels. While drawing conclusions from the inputs
through the technical expertise and concerned stakeholders, it also identifies the
gaps and challenges to effective emergency response. This Plan aims at
identifying and implementing a series of actions to increase response capacity
and reduce potential gaps. Unlike the traditional generic plans, this document
has used ‘scenarios’ as a basis for developing preparedness plans. The key
anticipated outcomes are:
 Awareness for Building Capacities for Response,

 Depicting the anticipated threat perception for earmarking required
resources,
 Building the Integrated Planning Capacities, and
 Defining the required gaps for ensuing Preparatory Measures.

CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW OF THE SINDH PROVINCE
1.1 GEOGRAPHY
The Province of Sindh is located in the South- Eastern part of the Country
(between Lat 23-35° and Lat 28-30° N)…bounded to the West by Balochistan, to
the North by Punjab, to the East by the Indian states of Gujerat and Rajhastan
and to the South by the Arabian Sea. It can be divided into four distinct ‘climatic’
zones Coastal, Desert, Mountainous and the Plains. Its gross geographical area
is 140,914 Sq. km which represents 18% of the total national area. The
geographical area is 14 million hectares out of which almost 8.0 million hectare
is cultivable, and the remaining area is not available for cultivation, mostly lying
in the northern hills of Khirthar Range, Eastern desert of Thar and Achharo Thar
and the Riverine area.
60% of the total land area of Sindh is arid. Annual average precipitation is
5 inches. The River Indus flows through the middle of the province. There are
seasonal streams which become active in the monsoon season; they emanate
from the Khirthar hill range from West of Province, and fallout in River Sindh
(Indus) and the Arabian Sea. Administratively Sindh Province is divided in to six
Divisions comprising 29 Districts.
The Province, third largest in Pakistan by size, has a predominantly

agricultural as well as a diverse industrialized economy. Cotton, rice, wheat,
sugarcane, dates, bananas and mangoes are the most important crops. Its
industrial base has Textiles, Chemicals, Cement, Steel and others. Lately its
vast natural resources are being exploited like Oil, Gas, Coal, Granite and Cut
Stone etc. These are adding substantially to the overall national produce. Bulk of
the industrial units is located in three Cities- Karachi, Kotri/ Hyderabad and
Sukkur. There are two modern sea ports: Karachi Port and Bin Qasim Port,
situated in Karachi on the Arabian Sea and serve the entire Country including
Afghanistan.

1.2 GEOLOGY
The Geology of Sindh is divisible in four regions as follows:

 the mountain ranges of Kirthar, Pab containing a chain of minor hills in
the West, and
 in East it is covered by the Thar Desert and part of Indian Platform
bounded by the Karonjhar mountains, which is famous for Nagar Parkar
Granite.
 In the North Sindh is enquired by rocks of Laki range extending to
Suleiman range and
 its Southern most part is encircled by the Arabian Sea. The rocks
exposed in this area belong to upper Cretaceous which are of recent
geological age. The sub-surface rocks are about 20,000 feet thick and
belong to Cretaceous and Pre-Cretaceous periods.
Basin-wise Sindh lies in the lower Indus Basin and its main tectonic
features are the platform and fore deep areas. Thick sequences of Pab
sandstone of Upper Cretaceous, Ranikot Group (Khadro, Bara, Lakhra) of
Paleocene age, the Laki, Tiyon, and Khirthar of Eocene age, the Nari Formation
of Oligocene, the Gaj Formation of Lower to Middle Miocene, the Manchar of
Upper Miocene to Pliocene, and Dada Conglomerate of Pleistocene age are
present in various areas of Sindh.
Limestone and sandstones are the predominant sedimentary rocks in the
area. Structurally speaking, Sindh has many gently-folded anticlines trending in
North-South direction. The major active faults in Province are as under:
SURJANI FAULT: N-S Trending: Located West of Larkana. It cuts

Quaternary deposits. The maximum magnitude of the Earthquake associated
with the fault is of the order M=6.1 on Richter Scale.
JHIMPIR FAULT: N-W Trending: A number of epicenters are located on

the fault. The fault has produced an earthquake of M=5.6 on Richter Scale.
4
PAB FAULT: NN-W Trending: Located in the Eastern part of Pab

range. The maximum magnitude of the earthquake associated with fault is of the
order M=7.0 on Richter Scale.
RANN OF KUTCH: E-W Trending: The fault has produced an earthquake

of the order M=7.6 on Richter Scale. Recent studies have revealed that this fault
traverses the Karachi Metropolitan Area.
1.3 HISTORY OF CLIMATE OF SINDH

 The monsoon and the Western Disturbance are the two main factors
which alter the weather over Sindh province; otherwise, continental air
prevails for rest of the year. Following factors by and large influence the
weather over Sindh.
 Dust storms occur during summer months with peak in May and June.
The dust storms during the early summer indicate the arrival of the
monsoons, while in the autumn these indicate the arrival of winter.
 Fog occurs during the winter season and remains for some weeks in
upper reaches of Sindh.
 Southwest Monsoon occurs in summer from the month of June till

September. Monsoon rains bring much awaited relief from the scorching
summer heat. These monsoon rains are sometimes heavy by nature and
can result in a flooding situation.
1.4 DEMOGRAPHY
The 1998 Census of Pakistan showed Sindh as having a population of

30.4 million ie; 23% of the national count. Based on the compound growth
average of 2.80%, the current population of Sindh is estimated to be about 47.80
million (Sindh Bureau of Statistics). The provincial urban-rural divide of
population, as per Population Welfare Department, Government of Sindh is
about 52 to 48. The urbanites are mainly concentrated in the cities of Karachi,
Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas, Shaheed Benazirabad and Larkana.
Approximately 2.6 million people live in the ‘katcha area’. In terms of

gender ratio (male per 100 female), the Male population overwhelms the female
5
i.e; there are 112.24 males. The overall average provincial literacy rate is
45.29%- (Male 54.50% and Female 34.78%). In the rural areas it is 25.73% -
(Male 37.89% and female 12.23%) whereas in the urban areas it is 63.72% -
(Male 69.75% & Female 56.66%). Health cover is available to over 35% of the
population. Agriculture & Fisheries are the backbone of rural economy engaging
about 65.56% of the rural people.
1.5 SOCIAL SCENE
Sindh is the most urbanized and industrialized province of Pakistan. The

society is largely a mix of the cosmopolitan with the traditionally based
indigenous landed classes. Beside Sindhi, the other languages spoken are Urdu,
Punjabi, Pashto, Siraiki, Balochi, Brahui, Rajasthani, and Gujarati. Historically
the Balochis came earlier while the Urdu-speaking are the recent immigrants
alongside the Pashtuns who are the latest dwellers of the urban Sindh. Balochi,
Sindhi and natives speak Sindhi language as their mother tongue. It is also the
official language of Sindh since the 19th century, now shared by Urdu in mostly
urban areas as well.
Sindh's population is predominantly Muslim ie; 91.3%. The remaining

comprises the minorities. Sindh is the 2nd most populous province after Punjab
and has a significantly higher population growth rate compared to Punjab. It has the
largest Hindu population of the country (about 93%) ie; 6.51% of the total
national population. There are other, smaller groups of other religious identities
like the Christians, Parsis- Zoroastrians, Ahmadis, Scheduled castes and others.
The society in general is harmonious, cordial and hospitable.

Nevertheless, some ethnic, sectarian and communal strife have occasionally
marred the peace of some specific parts of the Province.
1.6 ECONOMY
Endowed with coastal access, Sindh is a major centre of economic activity in

Pakistan and has a diversified economy ranging from heavy industry and finance to
a substantial agricultural base along the Indus river. It has the 2nd largest economy
in Pakistan, with the manufacturing sector in the lead. Agricultural engages about
6
45% of the agricultural labour force. Most of the agriculture (+13 Million acres)
depends on artificial Irrigation through a network of canals (20,000-kms) and
barrages (03) and protective bunds (+2253-kms) on the Indus River. Three
irrigation barrages- Guddu Barrage at Kashmore; the Lloyd Barrage at Sukkur
and the Kotri barrage at Kotri service the irrigation and human needs. The
provincial road network connectivity is over 26,000 kms and 2,221 kms of railway
tracks.
Staple crops are Wheat, Rice, Cotton, Oilseeds, Sugarcane, Millets

Vegetables and Fruits. In livestock the Sheep, Cattle, Camels are raised along
with Poultry. There is a competitive fishing industry as well. Manufacturing and
other industries (+1800 units) are concentrated in Karachi, Hyderabad,
Nooriabad, Kotri and Sukkur, providing jobs to a workforce of over 260,000. The
main industrial activity revolves around Textile, Cement, Cardboard, Chemicals,
Electric Power Supplies, Rail-Road Equipment, Machinery and Metal products,
and is serviced by the two southern ports; Karachi Port Trust and Port Qasim on
the Arabian Sea.
1.7 SHELTER
In 1998, there were 5.022 million households in Sindh, with average

household size at 6.0 persons with occupancy average of 3.3 persons per room.
The overall housing stock comprised 52 percent katcha (mud) houses mostly
devoid of any proper water supply, 48 percent semi-pakka (brick mortar) houses
mostly without planned sanitation or sewerage system. The majority of rural
housing is katcha (mud), with minimal water supply and sanitation or drainage
services. Half of the total urban population is living in slums and katchi abadis,
with inadequate housing and civic amenities.
7
1.8 ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM
 Administratively, Sindh Province comprises of the provincial government at

the apex and the Union Councils at the base of the administrative pyramid.
In-between there are administrative Divisions, District administration,
Taluka/Tehsil and the Union Councils. The provincial administrative / Line
Departments are headed by an Administrative Secretary.
 Division: 06 divisions headed by divisional Commissioners. The 6

Divisions are Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur,
Larkana and Shaheed Benazirabad.
 District: 29 Districts headed by Deputy Commissioners.
 Talukas / Tehsils / Sub Divisions: 129

 Number of villages (settlements) 66,923 as per census of 1998
within 5871 dehs (Mauza).

CHAPTER – 2
MONSOON CONTINGENCY PLAN – GENERAL
OVERVIEW OF FLOODS
2.1 FLOODS
When rivers overflow their banks they cause damage to property and
crops. Floods are the most common and the costliest of the Natural Disasters.
Floods are local, short-lived events that can happen suddenly, sometimes
with little or no warning. They are caused by intense storms that produce more
runoff than an area can store or a stream can carry within its normal channel.
Rivers can also flood when dams fail, when ice jams or landslides temporarily
block a channel, or when snow melts rapidly. Dry lands can be flooded by high
lake levels, by high tides, or by waves driven ashore by strong winds.
Small streams are subject to floods (very rapid increases in runoff), which
may last from a few minutes to a few hours. On larger streams, floods usually
last from several hours to a few days. A series of storms might keep a river
above flood stage (the water level at which a river overflows its banks) for
several weeks.
Weather patterns have a strong influence on when and where floods

happen. Cyclones, or Storms that bring moisture inland from the Ocean can
cause floods. Thunderstorms are relatively small, intense storms that can cause
floods in smaller streams. Frontal storms form at the front of large, moist air
masses moving across the Country and can cause floods. Hurricanes are
intense tropical storms that can cause floods.
The size and magnitude of a flood is described by a term called

‘Recurrence Interval’. By studying a long period of flow records for a stream, it is
possible to estimate the size of a flood that would, for example, have a 5-year
Recurrence Interval called a ‘5-year flood’ ie; it would occur, on the average,
once every 5 years. Although a 100-year flood is expected to happen only once
9
in a century, there is a 1% chance that a flood of that size could happen during
any year.
Flood plains are lands bordering on rivers and streams that normally are
dry but are covered with water during floods. Floods can damage buildings or
other structures placed in flood plains. They also can change the pattern of water
flow and increase flooding and flood damage on adjacent properties and
structures.
Major reasons that may cause or lead to flooding in Sindh are the
confluence of River Basins, the Canal Irrigation Networks and Interrupted
Drainage Systems and control of Head-works on three major rivers….part of
Indus River System with India.
2.1.1 CAUSES OF FLOODS
Floods can be divided in to five major categories:-
(I) Monsoon Floods: Flooding along rivers is natural and inevitable. Some
floods occur seasonally when monsoon rains and melting snows fill river basins
with too much water too quickly. Torrential rains from decaying Hurricanes or
Tropical Systems can also cause river flooding.
Recent studies argue that El-Nino and La Nina factors have upset the
system of rains in India, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. Incidentally El-Nino
events are a local manifestation of a global phenomenon, which begins with the
relaxation of the wind stress that drives warm water towards the West. In the
case of the monsoons, the atmospheric pressure at sea level at the South-West
of the Indian Peninsula, the ocean temperature in the Bay of Bengal and the
rainfall fluctuation across South Asia are inter-related critical factors.
(II) Flash Floods: An arroyo is a water-carved gully or a normally dry

creek found in arid or desert regions. When storms appear in these areas, the
rain water cuts into the dry dusty soil creating a small fast-moving river. Flash
10
flooding in an arroyo can occur in less than a minute, with enough power to wash
away sections of pavement. Because of its rapid nature, flash floods are difficult
to forecast and give people little time to escape or to take food and other
essentials with them.
(III) Floods due to Breaches: Floods due to the breaches of river

embankments and canal breaches are a frequent phenomenon in all the districts
of Pakistan.
(IV) Urban Floods: As undeveloped land is paved for construction, it loses its
ability to absorb rainfall. Rainwater cannot be absorbed into the ground and
becomes runoff, filling parking lots, making roads into rivers, and flooding
basements and businesses. An urban area can be flooded by an amount of
rainfall that would have had no impact in a rural area. But in the crowded towns
and cities, rainwater flows into storm sewers and drainage thus flooding them.
(V) Coastal Floods - Hurricanes and Tropical storms can produce heavy
rains, or drive ocean water onto land. Beaches and coastal houses can be swept
away by the water. Coastal flooding can also be caused by sea waves called
Tsunamis, the giant tidal waves that are created by Volcanoes or Earthquakes in
the ocean.
11
2.2 MONSOON HAZARDS IN SINDH
The River Indus, lying 750 kms across Sindh, upon receiving water from
5-rivers’ system, causes floods in the Sindh Province. The upper regions of the
Sindh Province constitute the Districts of Kashmore, Shikarpur, Kamber
Shadadkot Jacobabad and Larkana on the Right Bank of River Indus and
Ghotki, Sukkur, Khairpur, Naushahro-feroze and Shaheed Benazirabad on the
Left Bank of River Indus. These Districts on the right and left of River Indus
always remain under threat due to the passage of River Indus. The districts in
the lower Sindh, prone to Riverine flooding includes Dadu, Jamshoro and Thatta
on the Right Bank of River Indus and Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari and
Hyderabad on the Left Bank.
Districts of Jacobabad, Kambar-Shahdadkot, Dadu and Jamshoro are
vulnerable to hill torrents which cause flash flooding. As such, the possibility of
issuing an early warning is very minimal.
Sindh faces the Monsoon hazards as a result of heavy precipitation and

subsequent high floods at ‘Panjnad’ (confluence of 5-rivers located in Punjab) on
the Indus river and through flash flooding in numerous hill torrents along the
Southern part of the Province. Sindh is also vulnerable to precipitation generated
flash flooding and urban flooding because of the cloud bursts, primarily in the
cities of Karachi and Hyderabad. Historical evidence suggests that natural and
manmade disasters can cause a significant loss of human lives in Karachi alone.
Given the complexity, the simultaneous occurrence of riverine and flash floods,
the heavy precipitation and cloud bursts can worsen the impacts of monsoon
generated disasters in the province.

2.4 CHANGES IN THE RIVER MORPHOLOGY
The unprecedented nature of Floods-2010 caused occurrence of

unregulated river flow patterns resulting in widening spans and erosions at
various places. During Monsoons these trends are likely to render at risk the
populations residing close-by; undermining the effectiveness of the protective
arrangements; and risk the severance of bridges and communication
infrastructure. Therefore, river training or regulating the river flows to defined
channels is considered to be an essential task for flood impact mitigation.
2.5 PERFORMANCE OF WATER REGULATORY INFRASTRUCTURE
The floods-2010, in addition to their colossal humanitarian impacts,

exposed the water regulatory infrastructure to tremendous pressures. The water
which flowed surpassed the earlier historical records by manifolds; a detailed
comparison is given in the table below. Moreover, the Schematic Model of flood
routing of River system shown below depicts that average travel time between
the three hydraulic structures (Guddu, Sukkur and Kotri) is 24 hours; thus
necessitating the imperative of putting in place an effective and prompt decision
making.

2.6 LATENT VULNERABILITIES
Some of the underlying vulnerabilities which increase the threat of

Monsoon hazards in Sindh are stated as under:
 2011 monsoon rain induced floods in Southern Sindh, which do not

directly fall in the monsoon zone, had exposed a large segment of
population to the devastation of life and property. This population was
traditionally considered to be safe from adverse effects of monsoon.
 Non traditional, new geographical areas of Eastern Baluchistan and

Northern Sindh were impacted by floods in 2010, 2011, and 2012,
consecutively, thereby showing the compounding of vulnerabilities.
 Population pressures have resulted in encroachments on river flood

plains, thereby enhancing the corresponding risks and vulnerabilities.
 Detailed flood-plans mapping covering entire Indus River System, its

Tributaries and Nallahs is yet to be done. It has been identified as a
priority area in the Provincial Disaster Management Plan on the basis of
which land use planning and demarcation of waterways would be done to
reduce risks from flood hazard.
 Widespread Environmental Degradation had reduced the flood water

absorption capacities of catchment regions and accentuated downstream
vulnerabilities.
 Limited capacity in weather and flood forecasting, particularly for flash

floods, necessitate enhanced preparedness strategies to meet
unpredictable challenges.
 Insufficient surface storages/ reservoirs to manage heavy river flows

necessitate more extensive flood protection measures downstream.

2.7 DATA OF HISTORICAL FLOOD EVENTS
The data of losses from floods in Sindh for the past 25 years have been
covered in the table attached at Annex-A
2.8 SEASONAL FORECAST FOR MONSOON (JULY –

SEPTEMBER) 2015.
PMD has issued a seasonal Forecast for Monsoon 2015 on 25.06.2015
for Pakistan for July-September. Its salient features are given below:
The land, atmosphere and oceanic conditions are examined to assess their
contribution to the Asian Summer Monsoon and particularly Pakistan’s Monsoon.
Most of the Global Climate Models suggest that moderate El Nino conditions will
persist during July to September that normally suppresses the monsoon rainfall
in South Asia. There is also a probability of basin wide warming in the Indian
Ocean resulting Positive Indian Ocean Sipole ( in August / September) that
provides roots to some active monsoon system in South Asia, normally below
300N.
Most of the Global and Regional Climate Models indicate – “A Weak Monsoon
with some uncertainties, producing slightly less than normal rainfall during July
to September in Pakistan. However, due to interaction of easterly & westerly
systems, a few extreme rainfall events (exceeding 100 mm/day), may occur over
AJK, North-East Punjab and KP resulting into flooding”.
Outlook of July 2015: Monsoon will gradually pick up rythem during 2 nd and 3rd
week of July (2015), producing rainfall in most of the areas of AJK, Punjab and
KP, with one or two extreme rainfall events during 3 rd or last week of the month,
in second fortnight, monsoon currents will also penetrate in south-eastern parts
of the country, producing scattered rainfall in Sindh and eastern parts of
Baluchistan.
South Asian Climatic Outlook Forum (SASCOF-6)
The Outlook Suggests that below normal rainfall is most likely during the
17
2015 southwest monsoon season (June – September) over South Asia as a

whole. Below normal rainfall is likely over broad areas of western, central and
southwestern parts of South Asia and some areas in the northeastern most parts
of the region. It is noteworthy that except southern part of islands of the region
no other part of South Asia has above normal rainfall as the most likely category.
2.9 MONSOON 2015 FAILURE
SASCOF-6 findings and PMD’s preliminary observations did not directly

indicate a dry spell for 2015 that may further trigger drought conditions in the
province. However, if Sindh Province on the whole, or its districts already facing
drought/ semi drought, continue showing similar trends then PDMA Sindh will roll
out its Drought Contingency Plan which would be a separate document covering
roles and responsibilities of Government Agencies, Line Departments and
Humanitarian Agencies for effective drought emergency, response and
rehabilitation for the affected district (s).
2.10 MONSOON 2015 PREPAREDNESS CONSULTATIONS
A number of consultation sessions and coordination meetings were

organized at all levels. These included PDMA meetings with Divisional
Commissioners, Line departments, Armed Forces, PMD, Civic Utility agencies
etc to review the levels of preparedness, consultation with relevant agencies on
contingency plans and resolving the outstanding issues. These meetings were
also conducted in Divisional Headquarters, chaired by Special Assistant to Chief
Minister Sindh for Rehabilitation along with Secretary Rehabilitation and Director
General, PDMA.
In order to further consolidate and coordinate Provincial preparedness for

upcoming Monsoon Season, a high level meeting was held on 19th May, 2015
under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Sindh at Karachi. Chairman NDMA,
relevant Federal and Provincial agencies and Humanitarian Assistance
Organisations were invited and exchanged views and plans for evolving an
effective and efficient strategy towards mitigation, preparedness and response
modalities.

CHAPTER – 3
DIVISIONAL MONSOON CONTINGENCY PLANS

3.1 SCENARIOS
The Scenarios have been considered for the purpose of calculating

caseloads for the Provincial Contingency Plan as under:
3.1.1 LIKELY SCENARIO
While the possibility of Riverine Floods cannot be ruled out keeping in

view the continuous heavy snowfall in the upper parts of Country and the
Advisory issued by Federal Flood Commission which states that „Monsoon
season appears to be more critical as the levels of reservoirs at present
are increasing’. The inflow is likely to increase due to snow melting and rainfall
in upper parts of Country, Moreover a monsoon weather system over the upper
catchment area of major rivers may create alarming situation. Keeping in view,
the unusually high temperature being experienced in pre-monsoon time, the
possibility of riverine floods is being anticipated by Sindh.
Therefore, the caseload is primarily based on anticipated migration from

Katcha area / flood plan.
3.1.2 WORST CASE SCENARIO
The consecutive Monsoon Disasters in the last five years in Sindh set a
trend for future contingency planning. The historical evidence shows that
Monsoons have affected the whole Province, thus calling for the worst case
scenario to be based on a combination of very heavy rains in upper and lower
