NA has been playing major role to provide emergency assistance for rescue operation. Its Primary role is Coordination of Multinational / Bilateral Military Humanitarian Assistance and construction of bridge and roads and secondary roles include search and rescue, medical assistance evacuation and air rescue etc. During pre disaster, NA sets up institutions governance and functioning mechanisms. At the after math of disaster, it works on rescue operation through land and air, logistic support for carrying out humanitarian relief items, supporting reconstruction of physical infrastructures like bridges, roads, hospital, etc. NDRF outlined the preparation of the response preparedness plan of action.
Communications in this Emergency Operations Plan, means using equipment and people to co-ordinate and issue essential information before, during and after an impending or real disaster. This paper explains the role of this support function in using 24-hour Radio, Telephone, or the Internet to give instructions and guidance on disaster relief to local law enforcement, firefighters, search and rescue crews and the public in the recovery phases of a disaster. Harris County, Emergency Operations Plan Annex C Communications I. PURPOSE This annex describes the Harris County communications systems and the available communications sources, rules and policies that the Harris County government agencies use during emergencies or disasters.
A study review of literature has revealed that the development of disaster risk management strategies ought to be undertaken before the event strikes. Moreover, disaster management requires effective community-based strategies which will include programmes and measures to prevent, prepare, mitigate and recover from the impacts of disasters (Ngcamu 2011:
For every response strategy, you need to define response actions and for every recovery strategy, you need to have associated recovery actions. This will help you define the high-level action steps. A detailed DR plan must include – - Roles and Responsibilities: Details about DR recovery team members, their contact details and spending allocation in case equipment need to be purchased. - Incident Response: Provisions to become aware of an out-of-normal situation, assess the situation for damages, determine the damage severity, try to cover the disaster to bring it under control, and notify the key
Data and suppliers Steps for designing a disaster recovery plan (DRP): 1. Identify critical business process: What business processes are imperative to organization to continued business, and how long can survive without them? 2. Testing theory: Test your recovery plan time to time. So it make easy on disaster occurred time.
With each disaster, a degree of responsibility was identified on both the local and state parties. Disaster preparedness was not of the highest concern. Surveys were not taken serious, thus, resulting in a higher casualty percentage. What could have been prevented by continued assessments and innovation, was later referred back to as a failure on their
Long-term investments in disaster risk prevention have shown in many cases to provide a significant positive return when compared to amounts spent on recovery and rebuilding. Still, to date most crises have been managed on an ad hoc basis and attended to as and when they
The figure below shows the correlation between preparedness and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The longer the lead time, the lower the percentage of damage caused by the flood. Figure 8 Damage reduction as function of lead time [12] VI. Significant of study The significant of these flood disaster and flood warning system is crucial in every level of community. As we well aware, among all natural disaster that occur, flood is one of the most disaster that caused many death and economic damages.
B. Disaster management The idea of disaster management can't be genuinely clarified without first explaining "disaster" for proper clarification. [7] explains that disaster is a sudden natural or man-made situation capable of provoking widespread human, material, socio-economic and environmental destruction far beyond what the affected communities can cope with. All inclusive, the human and economic losses occurring from disasters are typically complex and unpredictable as
Risk Mitigation After project risk is assessed and identified, the project team works on a risk mitigation plan that aims to decrease the impact of any unpredicted event to occur. The various ways project team alleviate risks includes: • Risk transfer • Risk allocation • Risk reduction • Risk avoidance These techniques work out to be an operative tool in reducing individual risks and project’s risk profile. Thus, the plan restores the approach of risk mitigation for every recognised risk events and particular actions that the project management team might take in order to eliminate or reduce risks (Phillips, 2009). Example: Analysis of Project Risk in Equipment Delivery A team of project management evaluated the risk for some essential
