<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>Environmental Protection Act, 1986, and rules there in have prescribed the provisions and
procedures of Crisis Group at various levels and required the preparation of Off-site Emergency
Plan Disaster Management Act 2005, provided a holistic paradigm of multi-hazard
disaster management framework, provision "disaster management plan" at national, state
and district (and also local) levels. As per the Vulnerability Atlas (1997 revised in 2006) compiled
by Building Material Technology Promotion Council of India, 241 districts have been
identified as multi-hazard districts in India. Reportedly there are 294 districts with Major
AccidentHazard (MAH) units.More than 100 districts with MAH units are also multi-hazard
districts. However, lack of integration has prevailed between the disaster management plan
and the off-site emergency plan, in most of such districts. The present paper is aimed to
identify the gaps in both off-site plan and DM Plan for the Sambalpur district (Orissa) as an
example, to assess the challenges as well as possible strategies developing integration in the
two plans under the present National Disaster Management Framework. Extrapolation of
the same at the level of state plans and local plans have also been discussed.</p>
