This presentation outlines the purpose of an ER mock drill and how to go about planning, implementing and reviewing tabletop exercises and live drills to better educate and prepare your team for a real-world emergency.
Search and rescue operations involve locating and rescuing victims and require rescuers, tools appropriate for the situation, and timeliness as the chances of survival decrease significantly after the first few days. Effective search and rescue prioritizes the safety of rescuers, extracts lightly trapped victims first, and uses systematic search patterns. Ongoing evaluation of progress and the situation is critical to prevent harming rescuers and changing plans if needed.
The document describes a tabletop exercise conducted between the Railway and NDRF to simulate their response to a rail accident scenario. It provides background on tabletop exercises and guidelines for the simulation. The scenario involves a train derailment with multiple casualties. Participants discuss their response plans and coordination, identify issues, and develop an action plan to improve preparedness. The exercise uses periodic "injects" to further develop the scenario and assess the response. Overall, the goal is to evaluate response plans and inter-agency coordination for rail disasters.
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach to incident management that is used by first responders in the United States. ICS was originally developed in Southern California in the 1970s to coordinate response to wildfires. It is a flexible, scalable system that divides incident response activities into five functions or sections - Command, Operations, Logistics, Planning/Intelligence, and Administration/Finance. Each section is responsible for a particular aspect of response such as managing resources, conducting tactical operations, planning, and financial management. The system allows response efforts to expand or contract depending on the needs of the incident.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

ANUP SINGH,DC
The goal is to rescue maximum live victims in shortest time &
minimum risk
a. It is performed when three or more structures are assigned to a
single CSSR squad.
b. Performed by a Team of structural specialists and hazardous
materials specialists.
c. For each Group of buildings assigned to a CSSR squad , triage
should be conducted within two hours
d. Structural triage should take no more than 15 minutes per
building or structure.
12. d. S/R Operations can only begin after triage is completed
and priorities are established.
e. Once prioritised, detailed assessment can be performed
and structures marked.

clearly identified.
If not clearly identifiable, floors should be
numbered in relation to ground level.
The grade-level floor is designated as the
ground floor.
The floors above are numbered as Floor 1,
Floor 2, etc.
Conversely, the floors below the ground floor
are Basement 1, Basement 2, etc.
If possible, floors should be permanently
marked at each landing of accessible stairways.

30. ASSESSMENT, SEARCH AND RESCUE LEVELS
ASR LEVELS
The five operational levels can define the phases of
potential USAR related work.
It should be remembered that not all these levels will
always be carried out by international USAR teams; often
the resources will do certain aspects.
Levels can also be combined when appropriate and it is also
possible that different levels of work are being carried out
in different areas of the incident at the same time.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR PRIORITY OF TRIAGE
Confirmed live victims: Means that the assessment team
knows that there are people alive in the collapsed
structure.
Unknown victims or possible victims: Means that people
are missing, but the assessment team does not know
whether these people are alive or even in the structure.
9/26/2018 ANUP SINGH,DC
34. BIG VOID AND SMALL VOID
A BIG VOID is big enough for a person to crawl.
The chances of survival for a victim are greater in big voids than
small voids.
A SMALL VOID is where a person can hardly move and has to lie
more or less still while waiting for help.
In small voids, the chances of injury are higher as people trapped
inside have less space to avoid falling objects and collapsing
structural elements

38. 1. WORKSITE MARKING (MODIFIED)
Marking Method
• Worksite marking should be applied during initial ASR Level 2
Sector Assessment after a site has been deemed to be a
worksite.
• The marking should be applied to the front, (or as close as
possible) or main entry to the worksite.
• Updated with Team ID, ASR Level completed and date as further
levels of work (ASR) are completed.
• Updated missing persons, victims rescued and deceased victims
extricated as these occur.
• Material used can be spray paint, builders crayon, stickers,
waterproof card etc. as determined by the team.
9/26/2018
ANUP SINGH,DC
39. The following method should be used when applying
worksite marking:
Draw a 1.2 metre x 1.0 metre (approximately) box.
May draw a directional arrow to confirm exact
location of worksite/worksite entry.
INSIDE BOX – DISPLAYS:
Worksite ID
The Worksite ID should be approximately 40cm high.
Team ID
ASR Level completed
Date
The Team ID, ASR Level and date should be smaller, e.g.
approximately 10cm.
OUTSIDE OF BOX – DISPLAYS:
Any hazard requiring identification e.g. Asbestos (top),
Triage category (bottom)
9/26/2018 ANUP SINGH,DC
40. The colour should be highly visible and
contrasting to the background.
After all work on the worksite has been
completed and it is determined no further work
is required a horizontal line is to be drawn
through the centre of the entire worksite
marking.
If a team considers there is a need to leave
critical additional information at the worksite this
can be added to the worksite marking using plain
language in full view when required.
This and all other relevant details should be
recorded on the Worksite Triage or Worksite
Report forms and submitted through the
information management process.

53. 2. VICTIM MARKING
Victim marking is used to identify potential or known casualty (Live or Dead)
locations that are not obvious to rescuers e.g. below debris /entombed.
METHOD
The following method should be used when applying victim marking:
I. When teams (e.g. Search teams) are not remaining on site to immediately commence
operations.
II. At incidents involving multiple casualties or where any confusion on exact location
from search operations is possible.
III. Markings are done as close as physically possible to the actual surface point
identified as the location of the casualty.
IV. Material used can be spray paint, builders crayon, stickers, waterproof card etc. as
determined by the team.
The size should approximately 50cm.
A. The colour should be highly visible and contrasting to the background. Not intended
for use when rescue operations are completed.
B. Not to be applied to the front of a structure with the Worksite ID unless that is where
the casualties are located.
9/26/2018 ANUP SINGH,DC
57. 3. RAPID CLEARANCE MARKING SYSTEM
• The Worksite ID system is only used at
potential live rescue sites, with other sites,
where no rescues are possible, or required
normally remaining unmarked.
• This allows teams to move faster, maximise
life-saving opportunities and simplifies
coordination.
• However there are situations where it is
beneficial to have a marking that can be left
at sites where teams have established there
are no live victims or ‘deceased‘ only.
• Leaving a recognised “clear” marking will
prevent duplication and have other
advantages.
• When it is decided this level of coordination
and marking is necessary the Rapid
Clearance Marking (RCM) system can be
used.
