-happens instantly or without giving enough time to react
-affecting a large number of people,
-disrupting normal life and leading to a large scale
devastation in terms of loss of life and property
-always finding the administration and affected people
struggling to respond in the desired manner and

NATIONAL DISASTER RESPONSE FORCE
• NDRF consists of 8 battalions, with 144 self sustaining teams for rendering
effective response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster.
• Four battalions are for natural disasters and four for NBC.
• NBC battalions will also be trained in combating natural disasters.
• The force will be equipped with State of the Art equipment and will be
deployed in anticipatory manner to provide instantaneous response.
• It will work under NDMA and will be located at nine vulnerable locations.
• They will maintain close liaison with the State Governments and will be
available to them automatically, thus, avoiding long procedural delays.
• Four Training Centres have been set up by PMF to train their respective NDRF
Battalions.
• They will also meet the requirement of States/ UTs.
• NDRF Battalions will impart basic training to State Disaster Response Force in
their respective locations.

LESSONS LEARNT – HURRICANE KATRINA
“And any time you break that cycle of Preparing, Responding, Recovering and
Mitigating, you are doomed to failure. And the policies and decision that were
implemented by DHS put FEMA on a path to failure.”
-Michael Brown,Director,FEMA
General
1. The Foremost Lesson - all Facets of Disaster Cycle should be under one Agency
and not split among Multi-facet Authorities.
Mitigation & Preparedness
2. State’s Sovereignty be maintained in all Phases of Disaster Cycle.
3. Creating Culture of Preparedness at Community level.
4. Integrated Approach (of the Civil and Military efforts) for Preparedness. Coopt
Armed Forces in Disaster Response Plan.
5. Removal of Red Tapism and Bureaucratic Approach. US National Response Plan
is elaborate but Failed to Deliver. Need to Rewrite Rationale Response Plan to
include, conduct of mock drills periodically, state-of-the-art system in supply
chain management of relief supplies and inventory tracking.
6. Training and Equipping of Central Response Force duly backed by trained teams
from Armed Forces
7. Safe Houses . Identify shelters, for accommodating evacuees, both in Govt and
Private Sector, during Emergencies.
8. Establishment of a Homeland Security University. On the lines of National
Defence University, for General Awareness, Training and Research.
9. Use of Experts to find solutions to disaster related issues.
Communications
10. Failure within the DHS and in Communicating Relevant Information to Public, for
Early Warning, resulting in all available Federal Assets not being utilised. Need
to develop a more Comprehensive Emergency Communication System, to
ensure Survivability, Operability, Inter-Operability and Redundancy.
Response
11. Disaster Response Group at Central level to resolve disagreements
on Employment of Resources. This Group should also act as Single
Window Assistance Access for public.
12. Security of Assets by employing Local Law Enforcing Force for Law and Order.
13. Coordination, between:
(a) Search & Rescue and Medical Teams.
(b) State and Central Response Teams
(c) Local (Distt), State and Central Response Teams, to have inter-operable
Communication Network.
(d) At State level, Volunteer Coordinators in` State Emergency Operation
Centre, for coordinating Volunteer Efforts, like Debris Clearance, etc.
(e) Integrated Command at field level – local Response Units (National
Guards) and Active Duty Forces (ex Armed Forces) to work in tandem.
Mobile Command Field Centre near disaster site (not 80 km away
in Baton Rouge like during Katrina).
14. Need for National Emergency Operation Centre at DHS. DHS to have
a National Emergency Operations Centre, in addition to White House
Situation Room, regardless of whether President & the Secretary DHS are
in same place, to maintain flow of information from one agency.
15. Integrated Response. Civil and military assets to be combined and
employed as one resource and NOT in a graduated manner.
STRATEGIES FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT
1. Change of Focus from Relief Centric to Holistic Approach.
2. Mainstreaming Disaster Management into all National
Developmental Programmes.
3. Empowerment of the Community to face the Disaster.
4. Emphasis on Training, Development of Human Capital and
Capacity Building.
5. Key Role of Educational and Professional Institutions for
Mass Education and Awareness.
6. Upgradation of the Key Responders.
STRATEGIES FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT
7. Supporting and Enabling Mechanisms for the Districts
and States.
8. Failsafe Early Warning & Communication Systems.
9. Coordinated, Timely and Effective Response.
10. Involvement of NGOs & Corporate Sectors.
11. Time Bound Action Plan for Earthquakes, Floods &
Cyclones.
12. Pro-active Participation at the Regional and
International Level.
