DISASTER PREPAREDNESS – AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES

Railways are generally self-reliant in carrying out rescue and relief operations as a result of having a well organized set up including ARMVs and ARTs. However, major accidents, involving heavy casualties in remote areas or in difficult terrain or under adverse weather conditions are possible to be managed efficiently only by mobilizing non-railway resources.

Disaster Management mechanism in Railways can be maintained at a high level of preparedness and efficiency by keeping all resources readily available and in good fettle. Resources imply both railway and non-railway men and material including medical personnel, transport, volunteers, police and fire services. Details of these resources, their location, contact numbers and other details have been identified, compiled and placed in a ‘Data Bank’. This Data Bank is available in the divisional DM Plan of Jhansi division. These have been put on Jhansi Division’s Web Site (www.ncr.jhsrailnet.gov.in) for ready access.

Resources available in case of a major accident have may be grouped into 4 different units, depending on the time frame within which these can be made available after an accident. These are as follows :
