I PREFACE 1
1. PREFACE:
The district level plan for disaster management evolved herein for the hazardous industries
located within the Dibrugarh & Tinsukia Districts, has been designed to :
The requirement of resources to manage a Crisis situation would depend on the type and
magnitude of the emergency. In certain situation, in house resources would be adequate while in
other situations; additional resources available from neighbouring organizations may be required.
With the latter situation in view, the Mutual Aid for ERP has been evolved for pooling resources to
manage emergencies.
1
CHAPTER-II
The District Level Plan is evolved to control any emergency situation a systematic manner. It is an
attempt to pool together the cumulative past experience in planning available resources and their
optimal use.
It is essential that each industry should have its own On-site emergency plan. Such plan is to be
exhaustive to protect life and property in case of emergency situation within the industry. The On-
site Emergency Plan would also help to reduce confusion and also optimize utilization of
resources when the neighbouring industries and other agencies come for providing assistance to
the affected industry.
The Plan would cover the following types and causes of emergencies:
2
1.3 CAUSES OF EMERGENCIES:
d) Oil Spillage
e) Failure of Structures
f) Flood / Cyclone
a) WARNING PHASE
Many disasters are preceded by some sort of warning. For example, with the aid of Satellite
network of weather stations, many meteorological Disasters like cyclone, excessive rain etc. can
be predicted and advance actions can be taken to counter them.
b) PERIOD OF IMPACT
This is the period when the disaster actually strikes causing crisis situations. Very little can be
done to lessen the effects unless advance warning is received and action is immediately taken.
The period of impact may last few seconds as in case of explosions or may prolong for a longer
duration like fire, gas leaks, floods etc.
c) RESCUE PHASE
The rescue phase starts immediately after the impact and continues until necessary measures are
taken to rush help to combat / contain the situation and to evacuate the affected people to safer
places.
d) RELIEF PHASE
In this phase, apart from organizing relief measures internally, external help should also be
summoned to provide relief measures such as food, medical relief, clothing and other shelter etc.
e) REHABILITATION PHASE
This is the final and the longest phase. It includes rebuilding damaged property, estimating the
damages, payment of compensation, facilitating the displaced people in returning to / going to
their homes and normalizing their lives etc.
