This document discusses emergency response planning for critical infrastructure. It covers various types of emergencies including natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms, as well as man-made disasters like terrorist attacks and technical failures. The key aspects of emergency response planning discussed are risk assessment, defining roles and responsibilities, developing response plans, training personnel, and conducting drills and rehearsals. The document emphasizes the importance of preparedness and having response plans in place before a disaster occurs to enable quick and effective action. It also outlines the various phases of emergency management including prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and review.

• Earthquake - Geotechnical Instability – Little

• Flood, Cloud Burst, Land Slide – Climate related –
Little control
• Storms, Cyclones, Hurricane – Climate related –
Little Control
• Technical Failures –
• Terrorist Attack / Bomb Explosions

5. Risk Assessment
• Entire Response depends on this
Anticipation & Assessment
• Cross Functional
• Continuous

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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

9. 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

10. Phases of Emergency Management
• Risk Anticipation / Assessment
• Prevention
• Preparedness
• Response
• Recovery
• Review & updation

11. DM Act 2005
Section 36 :
Onerous responsibility on the
Ministries to ensure that suitable
Disaster Management measures are
taken.

12. 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.

13. Disaster Management
• In India
– Apex body – NDMA
– EMRI – improve community preparedness
– DM Act 2005
– UNDP funded disaster risk management
programme
– National disaster management framework

14. • Mainstreaming of the
Emergency Response
• Teams across functions &
levels have to play critical role

16. 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

17. 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

18. Mitigation
• Recovery
–Restore affected area to previous state
–Rebuild, employ and repair
–“window of opportunity” for
implementing long-term &
comprehensive measures of mitigation
18

19. 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.
