Natural

Emergencies/Disasters

• Earthquake - Geotechnical Instability – Little Control

• Flood, Cloud Burst, Land Slide – Climate related – Little control

• Storms, Cyclones, Hurricane – Climate related – Little Control

• Technical Failures –

• Terrorist Attack / Bomb Explosions

4

Risk Assessment

• Entire Response depends on this Anticipation & Assessment

• Cross Functional

• Continuous

5

What is Emergency Management?

• The dynamic process of preparing for, mitigating, responding to and recovering from an emergency.

• Preparing for War During Peace.

• Success in War depends on your planning, preparing & training during peace.

6

Why Emergency Response Planning?

• Quick and effective action is required during the onset of an emergency.

• Large amount resource mobilisation required.

• Effective action often depends on having plans in place before the disaster strikes.

• Large work force involved in ER – need to be mobilised/trained / briefed / prepared.

7

Principal Elements of Preparedness • Risks and Vulnerabilities Analysis (the broad profile

of a projected emergency)

• External Preparedness (what other actors are capable of doing)

• Internal Capacity (what we are capable of doing)

• Preparedness Actions (results of the planning process)

• Identifying Resources – Human & Material

• Preparing Comprehensive Emergency Response Plans

8

Objectives of Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

• Improve state of preparedness for meeting contingency.

• Reduce response time in organizing the ER

• Identify major resources, manpower, material and equipment needed to make the ER operational.

• Optimum use of combined resources.

• Clearly define Roles & Responsibility

• Establish clear chain of command

9

Phases of Emergency Management

• Risk Anticipation / Assessment

• Prevention

• Preparedness

• Response

• Recovery

• Review & updation

DM Act 2005

Section 36 :

Onerous responsibility on the Ministries to ensure that suitable Disaster Management measures are taken.

11

DM Act 2005

Has brought into being a Policy, Legal and

Institutional Framework, backed by effective

statutory and financial support and outlined

an integrated approach to prevention and

mitigation measures.

12

Disaster Management

• In India

–Apex body – NDMA

– EMRI – improve community preparedness

–DM Act 2005

–UNDP funded disaster risk management programme

–National disaster management framework

13

• Mainstreaming of the Emergency Response

• Teams across functions & levels have to play critical role

14

Cycle of ER management

15

Mitigation • Preparedness

–Prepare action plans

• Evolve Processes for Prevention & Dealing with

• Emergency response teams

• Emergency warning methods

• Resource Planning

• Resources inventory building

• Alternative Mechanisms

16

Mitigation • Response

– Mobilization of • Emergency teams

– Core emergency services

– Specialist teams

• First responders in area

• Implementing Alternatives

– Runs on • Principle of unified command

• Mutual aid

– Immediate needs are addressed

17

Mitigation

• Recovery

–Restore affected area to previous state

–Rebuild, employ and repair

–“window of opportunity” for implementing long-term & comprehensive measures of mitigation

18

Management of disasters

• Implementation of ERP

– Single command team at control centre - planning, monitoring, resource mobilization, liaison

– At site team - Repair/Replace, flow of information, recovery at site

– Management of communication-separate teams at site and control.
