The need for Disaster
Management
Natural Disasters or Manmade would keep on
happening. Unfortunately there has been no
technological advances so far which can
eliminate their occurrences in it’s totality.
The fact is that we can’t avoid it…but we can
be prepared and handle them properly so that
we can save lives and resources which would
otherwise be lost due to delays in finding
solutions in times of crisis.

2
IT is a great tool for mankind
Through IT & communication networks not only
we can keep a tab on local disasters/mishaps but
we can be aware of minor/major disasters
happening in far flung areas and can prepare us
for providing relief and mitigation work
There are websites like www.reliefweb.int and
GDIN.org etc which have been providing info for
major/minor disasters across the globe
irrespective of any class, culture, race or ethnicity
This is a very important tool for the benefit of
mankind to save his fellow brothers from disasters
by acting swiftly through the information made
available by the IT tools.

Basic Modules of Disaster
Management
Preparedness
Mitigation
Capacity Building
Relief & Rehabilitation

4
Preparedness
Keeping in this line we are
preparing ourselves for
any impending disasters

5
Mitigation
The act of lessening in
severity or intensity- this can
be achieve through
preparedness

6
Capacity Building
Creation of an enabling
environment. Here we have
arisen to that effect. We are
creating assets and services
database at our Disaster
Management Centres
7
Relief &
Rehabilitation
When incidents are timely
reported and info properly
communicated relief and
rehabilitation are just a step
away
1077 - working round the
clock

Proposed solution
Disaster Management System :

Help Line1077
The proposal is to connect all the
districts of the city through one
centralized wireless, server based
unit which comes to immediate
action as and when any such
unfortunate disaster takes place in
any part of the city. 9
How it will work:
At the time of any situation, the call station

1077 will trigger an Alarm to the

Monitoring Stations installed at District
Disaster Management Cell, Municipal Control
Room, Local Fire Station, Fire Control Room,,
Local Police Station & Police HQ’s to initiate
appropriate action as per requirement.

1. Fire
2. Riots/Bomb Blasts
3. Earthquakes/Natural Calamities
4. Floods

Let’s see a Mock
Scenario of an
emergent situation
happening at Delhi
and how this system
will work in such a
situation

disaster situation in the said area
to see how this system works
efficiently saves precious life and
resources

Disaster Call Centre

15
The call centre sends all necessary
details to the local fire station to act
upon the situation on SOS

16
Data Base with contacts nos
District Administration Nodal Officers
District staff of Live people detection unit
District municipal staff for debris removal
District Police Stations/Officers
District Bomb Disposal Squads
District Hospitals (Govt/Private)
District Health/Medical Officers
District Fire Stations/Officers
District Blood Banks
Local Army Area Command Unit

17
Data Base
Here the call centre is having the data base of
the nearest fire centre, police station, hospital
details, no of beds etc., names and nos of
district nodal officers to be contacted in case
of emergency
This way the data base is very useful in case
of any emergency
The nodal officers are in turn connected with
their counter parts of various
units/departments
18
Simultaneously, the Call Station triggers an alarm
informing the Main Fire Station about the incident. The
required action Is initiated immediately to take control
of the situation, thereby avoiding major loss to life and
resources

Disaster / Emergency Communication
System works with the backbone of a
VSAT which works by providing all
necessary info and video feeds of the
affected areas to all the concerned
departments.

 The Inbuilt mobile system in the
call centre enables the user to
make contact with the system in
case of Emergency when
manually triggering the system

The mobile system of the call station
establishes communication with the user/
victim to take necessary details of the
situation and alerts the concerned
departments In case of fire press 1
In case of riot press 2
In case of earthquake press 3
In case of flood press 4
For others press 0

If no key is pressed within

5 seconds, the systems, understanding
The emergency situation, will
Auto SMS an alert message to
All concerned monitoring stations.
26
 Disaster / Emergency
Communication System is definitely
a must
for a country like ours which is
prone to natural
as well as man-made disasters.
This system greatly helps in
reducing the
Impact of any such unfortunate
calamities by
assisting the concerned authorities
in taking
the right action at the right time!
