CHAPTER-I

1.1.1. What is Railway Disaster ?

1.1.1. Disaster in the Railway context is a serious train accident or an untoward event ofgrave nature, either on the railway premises or arising out of railway activity in thatarea, due to natural or man-made causes, that may lead to loss of many lives and/orgrievous injuries to large number of people, and/or severe disruption of traffic,necessitating large scale help for other Government/Non-Government and Privateorganisation.

1.1.2. In case of a serious accident, the administration would take a conscious decisionwhether the situation is to be classified as a disaster or not.

1.1.3. GM, AGM or CSO is the authorised officer to declare an untoward incident as aRailway Disaster. As soon as the accident is declared as a disaster, the concernedofficers will be apprised of the same by the different functionaries in DivisionalControl a detailed in para 4.1 of Chapter IV and all instructions as contained in thisdisaster management plan would automatically come into force and officers and staffof all departments would taken action as laid down in this book, in addition to theprovisions of accident manual and other Rule Books/Manuals in use.

1.2. Disaster involving train services :

The disaster may be due to following factors :-

Human/Equipment failures leading to : Collision, Derailment, Level crossing accidentsat Manned/unmanned level crossings, Fire in train.

Natural calamities such as : Land slide, Earth Quakes, Floods and breaches,Storm/Cyclone/Tornadoes

Sabotage : Setting fire to Train/Railway installations and Railway property, Bombblasts, placing of obstructions on track to cause disruption to traffic, tampering withrailway fittings to cause accidents.

Chemical : Disaster due to chemical reactions.

1.3. In many cases of accidents, Railways have been criticised for poor handling ofrelief measures. The main reasons for criticisms have been as under :-

a. Late medical relief to injured passengers.b. Incorrect/untimely/inadequate information regarding dead/injured

passengers.c. Unsatisfactory arrangements for preservation and transportation or dead

bodies.d. No food or delay in supply of eatables/clean water to stranded passengers

and rescue workers.e. Poor handling of emergency cells opened at stations.

5

1.4. This disaster management plan does not aim at suggesting measures to avoiddisasters but, it clearly lays down various measures, which are to be taken byvarious railway officials in the post disaster situation. The aim of the disastermanagement plan is to effect.

a. Minimizing disaster effects.b. Saving lives.c. Care & concern for the affected customers.d. Proper and timely dissemination of information to public in the aftermath

of disaster.

6

CHAPTER-II

Preparedness and resources :

Railways are generally self-reliant in carrying out rescue and relief operations.However mobilizing heavy causalities, occurring in remote areas, difficultterrain and/or under adverse weather condition may be necessary.

Disaster management mechanism in Railways is to be maintained at a high levelof preparedness and efficiency. al resources (Men and Material includingMedical, Personnel, Transport, volunteers, police and Fire services) belongingto railway and non railway both should be ensured for availability andpreparedness.

Resources available in case of a major accident may be grouped with fourdifferent units, depending on the time frame within which these can be madeavailable after an accident.

Resource Unit-I : Railway and non-railway resources available on the train andat nearby surroundings.

Resource Unit-II : Railway resources available at ARMV/ART depots andelsewhere within the division.

Resource Unit-III : Railway resources available at ARMV/ART depots andelsewhere on adjoining Zones and Division.

Resource Unit-IV : Non-railway resources available within or outside thedivision.

3.6. GOLDEN TIPS OF PROVIDING FIRST AID – PRIORITY METHOD

3.6.1 Order of priority for dealing with and helping injured passengers should be asfollows :-

unconscious. bleeding excessively having breathing problems grievously injured in a state of shock having fractures simple injured.

3.6.2. For assessing and handling injuries, acronym DR ABC is to be followed.

(i) D-DangerLook for danger, Make sure that no further danger exists either for thepatient or for the First Aider.

(ii) R-Response :Check for consciousness, Call by his/her name, slap, pinch and shakegently. If there is no response, then it means that the patient isunconscious.

(iii) A-Air Way :Clear the airway (Trachea). If patient is unconscious, then the airwaymay be narrowed or blocked making breathing impossible. This occursdue to several reasons. Mass food particles or foreign body in the airpassage or the tongue may have sagged back and blocked the air passage.

To open the airway lift the chin forward with the fingers of one handwhile pressing the forehead backwards with the other hand, now thetongue comes forward and the airway is cleared. To clear the otherobjects in the mouth press the Jaw, open the mouth put your fingers or aclean cloth in the mouth and clear the things. Now the air passage isclear.

(iv) B-Breathing :Check for breathing. Keep the back of your fingers near the nose of thepatient. You can feel the warm air (or) keep your ear near the nose andlook for the movement of chest, listen to the sound from the throat andfeel the warm air from the nose.

9

(v) C-circulation :Check the pulse. Normally we check the pulse at the wrist, howeversometimes it is not felt because of severe bleeding. So it is better tocheck the pulse at neck (Carotid pulse).

After check DRABC, there may be two possibilities.

(a) If patient is breathing, has circulation but is unconsciousness, immediately turnhim to recovery position and transport to hospital.

(b) If the patient has failure of breathing and circulation then immediately start CPR(Cardio Pulmonary resuscitation) the important life saving technique in FirstAid.

To revive the lungs you have to give artificial respiration by mouth to mouth(Kiss of Life) method. Lift the chin forward and press the jaw open the mouthwith one hand and close the nose with other hand keep your mouth on thecasualty’s mouth and blow.

To revive the heart you have to give external chest compression. the casualtyshould be made to lie down on a hard surface. Keep heel of the palm on thechest (Pit of stomach) of the casualty and keep the other palm over that handand compress.

Mouth to mouth ventilation and external chest compression should be given inthe ratio of 2:15. This should be continued up to the revival of life or tillreaching the hospital. Once life starts, immediately turn the casualty intorecovery position and transport to hospital (Recovery position or three quarterprone position means turn to one side, better to right side)

Recovery Position :

Recovery position is the safest position for unconscious patients. Normally wekeep the patient in a supine position. However, in case of unconscious patients,it is a very dangerous position because the tongue can fall back and close theairway or saliva and other secretions may get into windpipe. To avoid that turnthe casualty into recovery position and transport to hospital.

Sometimes, you may not be in a position to do first aid due to tense situation. Insuch circumstances at least turn the casualty to recovery position, which wouldhelp to save many precious lives.

CHAPTER- IV

RESOURCES AVAILABLE

Railways is having history of being self reliant in carrying out rescue and reliefoperations in case of railway accidents. But with the fast development newchallenges to humanity, Railway into maintained a high lust of preparedness andalertness that also with better efficiency in terms of result oriented actions. Allresources (Men, Material & Machine-3 Ms) available in the horizon of place ofdisaster has to be mobilised irrespective of their affiliation to Railway or non-railway setup. Resources available with railway itself are designed andprovided in a manner to deal with any type of accident. But there are availableat different locations of geographical territory of divisional/Zonal Railwayswhose mobilisation from neighbouring division., HQ and neighbouringRailways may taken time being available as far apart places and DISASTER cannot wait for these resources to be mobilised from within Railways setup i.e. inhouse capacity only. Mobilisation for non Railway resources in case of majoraccidents involving heavy casualties, occurring in remote areas, difficult terrainand for under averse weather condition may be necessary. Depending upon thereaction time of these resources i.e. time frame within which these can be madeavailable after a disaster/accident these can be grouped/priority in to differentcategories. These are as follows :-

(a) On board facilities available in Passenger Trains.Priority-I Man Power.Driver, Assistant Driver, Guard, TTE, Train supdt. AC attendant, AC Mechanic,Railway Staff travelling on the train – either on duty or on leave, Passger whovolunteer their help.

Material : First Aid Boxes available with Guar, Train Supdt, in Pentary Car. Portable Telephone in brakevan with Guard and in locomotives with driver. Walkie-talkie with Guard and Driver Fire Extinguishers in brakevan, locomotive and in AC coaches. Cell phones/mobile communications available with driver, Assistant Driver,

Guard, other Railway Officer/Staff and Passengers.

(b) Facilities available in nearby vicinity :

(i) Railway Staff available at adjoining stations Engg., S&T staff working in nearby areas Medical facilities available at adjoining stations Families of gang men and other staff residing in the vicinity and at adjoining

stations.

17

(ii) Non-Railway Medical facilities available in nearby vicinity – as per details available at

adjoining stations volunteers from nearby villages and towns Transport facilities available at site are passing nearby Tractor with Trolleys from nearby villages for :

Transport of injured passengers to nearby hospitals. making availability of lighting arrangements bringing fire-fighting tools bringing rescue equipments to site for transportation of any other material to site

Priority-II

Resources available within sub-division/controlling section of site of occurrence

The concept of controlling section as detailed in chapter IV page No............ is involvedprimarily to provide quickest possible help to injured passenger by railwayadministration within GOLDEN HOUR period. As the officers and supervisors postedat various places within controlling section are essentially first responders (FR) fromrailway side who will move swiftly to site under the guidance and direction ofdivisional officers and divisional emergency cell.

This group of resources comprises mainly railway officers and supervisors availablewithin 40-50 Kms. of site of occurrence and who can be directed to site and reportthere essentially within one hour of time of occurrence of accident so that they canarrange to provide medical help to all injured persons so as to minimise the loss ofhuman life.

Priority-III

Resources available within Division.

ARMVs/ARTs are stabled at nominated station. the location of these resourcesare given in chapter-IV.

Railway medical and departmental resources. Non-Railway resources available within division as listed below :-

Priority-IV

Resources available in adjoining division, Zonad HQrs and adjoining Zonal Railway

Location of ARMVs/ARTs with 140 T crane based on adjoining division/zonesare given chapter-IV.

18

Section wise chart of which ARMV/ARTs to be requisitioned from adjoiningdivision/zone is given in Chapter-IV.

All other recources available in adjoining division and adjoing zone arementioned in their respective DM Plans. Copies of DM Plan of Agra/NCR,MB/NR, LJN/NER, LKO/NR is available with divisional control office.

VARIOUS PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Phases- I :

In the period immediately after the accident, the following action has to be takenon war footing by Railway Officials/officers.

First Responder :i) Guard, Driver, Conductor and TTEs. etc. must pass on the information quickly

to the nearest station or to control, about the accident. Being trained in first aid,they should simultaneously render every possible medical aid to injured people.

19

Phase- III :

Assistance of NDM/NDRF to handle Railway related disaster

Requisitioning NDRF in time of disaster, Division has to approach RailwayBoard who will request NDMA to direct NDRF Battalions to proceed to site.(Vide Railway Board letter No. 2003/Safety(PM)/1/6/3 dated 09.11.2009)

Phase- IV : (Arrival of Relief Train).

Phase-II begins with the arrival of relief train. The senior most officers whoreach the site first become the 'Accident charge (site)'. All staff and officerswork as per the directions of the Officer in charge (site).

Site organization:

- Medical relief camp

- Security of luggage

- Clue preservation

- Relief Rescue and Restoration

- Coordination with civil & press

- Liaison with control

- Communication- STD phones, walkie-talkies

- Lighting arrangements

- Commercial - information booth, Arrangement of Food andWater, evacuation of passengers including road vehicle, paymentof ex-gratia etc.

Press and other media should be given correct picture in time by PRO.

21

ACTION TO BE TAKEN AT DIVISIONAL HQ LEVEL

- Opening up of special enquiry booths at originating, terminating and en routestations.

- Furnishing updated position of dead, injured and evacuated passengers.- Phone numbers should be relayed through TV, Radio and press.- Arrangement for issue of free railway passes for relatives.- Make arrangement for evacuated passengers to be sent to destinations. Transport

vehicles can be hired.- In case of major disaster, DRM can requisition helicopter/Aeroplane.- Press should be briefed properly and quickly.- Hq/Board should be advised quickly.

Phase-V: (Handling Injured Passengers)

Phase-III mainly refers to dealing with injured passengers.Following action must be planned-

i) Relief trains clearing injured or stranded passengers must get overridingpriority.

ii) Road vehicles can also be arranged for stranded passengers.iii) List of injured, hospital-wise, should be conveyed to all concerned.iv) Ex-gratia payment should be arranged.

Phase-VI: (Restoration of Traffic)
