A presentation about disaster management and planning. Disaster management planning, objectives, and methods of disaster management. About 4 R in the disaster management plan.

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.
