The disaster management plan outlines strategies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from various hazards, focusing on risk assessment, prevention, and mitigation measures. Key objectives include limiting damage, enhancing life safety, and preserving heritage while ensuring effective emergency response and recovery. The plan emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to disaster management that encompasses prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery phases.

1. Disaster Management Plan

2. Disaster Management Plan

3. Introduction
• Disaster management involves planning what to do BEFORE,
DURING and AFTER the disaster or emergency.
• Through further understanding these hazards and assessing
how structures behaviour to them, we can better prepare for
disasters or emergency.
• In addition we can plan necessary measure to reduce or
mitigate the risk and damage that expected to occur post
disaster to environment, structures and also public health.

4. Objectives
• A risk informed, performance based approach exists offering opportunities to
understand objectives, identify credible hazards and develop alternatives that
allow stakeholders to make avoid risk.
• Few Important objectives of DMP:
 Limiting the damage and aesthetic impact
 Enhance the life safety
 Preserving the heritage
 Cost effective solutions
 Maintain functionality of sites
 Embrace local heritage, resources and methodologies.

5. Phases of Disaster Management Plan
• Prevention & Mitigation
• Preparedness
• Response
• Recovery

6. Prevention and Mitigation
• Establishing Objectives
 Establishing some broad objectives of DMP that are to be achieved during the implementation of
DMP.
• Risk Assessment
 Risk assessment is the identification of hazards the could negatively impact an organisation’s ability
to carry out its operations.
 These assessments help to identify the inherent business risks and provide measures, process and
control to reduce the impacts to business operations
• Risk Prevention and Mitigation
 The national policy suggests a multi-pronged approach for disaster risk reduction and mitigation.
 Policy involves Integrating risk reduction, Initiation of mitigation measures, Encouraging assistance
and giving due weightage to protection of heritage etc..

7. Preparedness
• Emergency evacuation and access routes
 An exit route is continuous and undisturbed path of exit travel
from any point within a work place to a place of safety.
 An exit route consists of 3 parts
1. Exit access: portion of an exit route that leads to an exit
2. Exit: portion of exit that is generally separated from other areas.
3. Exit discharge: part of exit route that leads directly or to a
street walk way

8. Preparedness (contd..)
• Emergency Teams and Drills
 Receive information and training about work place hazards, methods
to prevent them and the OSHA standards that apply to their work
place.
 Review records of work related injuries and illness.
• Emergency Response and equipment:
 Emergency response teams and equipment work to ensure the safety
of our employees and the continuance of your business.
 Emergency response includes any systematic response to an
unexpected disaster or hazard occurrence.

9. Response
• Rescue relief and Salvage
 Rescue measures are those taken immediately after receiving early
damage or post disaster in cases where an event occurs without a
prior warning.
 The primary goal of response to a disaster is saving lives,
property, protection of environment and meeting the basic needs
of human & other living beings
• Immediate Damage Assessment
 The disaster management and its planning at various tiers should
take into account the vulnerability of disaster affected area

10. Response (contd..)
 It should take in account the capacity of authorities to deal
with the situation.
 Using this approach the high power DM committee categorised
disaster into 3 levels (report 2001 NDMP).
o L0- normal
o L1 – managed within district levels
o L2- Requires assistance and mobilisation of state level agencies
o L3 – Corresponds to nearly catastrophic situation.

11. Response (contd..)
• Immediate protection of heritage
 Natural heritage properties and heritage sites in general are
exposed to the impacts of natural and man triggered
catastrophic events.
 These threaten their integrity and may compromise their value
 The loss or deterioration of these outstanding properties has
severely negative impacts on local and national communities,
both because of their cultural importance and because of their
socio- economic value.

12. Recovery
• Detailed Damage assessment
 The moment an emergency condition subsides, rapid and
through assessment is to be conducted to know the overall
critical damage.
 It is also used to determine whether those damages are
sufficient to warrant national emergency assistance.
 Damage assessment is the aftermath of server incident
includes “Individual Damage Assessment” as well as “public
Damage Assessment”

13. Recovery(contd..)
• It includes ( but not limited to)
 Damage to roads streets and bridges
 Damage to public utilities, buildings and equipment.
 Damage to parks and recreational sites.
 Managing debris
 Damage to water control facilities like drainage systems etc..

14. Recovery(contd..)
• Treatments
 Another crucial dimension of DMP is treatment of the injured.
 DM team must focus on
 Psychotherapeutic health programmes
 Occupational therapy
 Debriefing and trauma care.
 Tradition, values, norms, beliefs & practices of disaster affected
people.

15. Recovery (contd..)
• Rehabilitation
 Rehabilitation an integral part of disaster recovery, others
being reconstruction could be defined as an overall dynamic
and immediate strategy of institutional reform and
reinforcement.
 The rehabilitation is classified into following
 Physical Rehabilitation
 Social Rehabilitation
 Psychological rehabilitation.

16. Recovery (contd..)
• The disaster recovery phase begins once all life safety issues
have addressed and initial damage assessment has occurred.
• It is divided into 3 stages
 Short term : During the first hours and days after disaster
 Mid term: In the first weeks after a major disaster
 Long term: Overlapping with mid-term and lasts till
recovery objectives are achieved.

17. Conclusion
• The world continues to experience a wide variety of natural
and human induced disasters.
• These disasters include earthquakes tsunami, floods, volcanic
fires and wild fires etc..
• Planning for disaster significantly reduces the damage to
tangible and intangible heritage including historic sites,
structures and their collection.
• So its our prime duty to promote a culture of disaster risk
prevention and mitigation at all levels
• Also promote “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation
and reconstruction.
