DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1. Introduction

Rapid development of the city has posed wide-ranging hazards threatening safety and health of people. Accidents may adversely affect the environment and the people living in the vicinity. These accidents can be minimized to a great extent by proper procedures, handling and training. But it may be difficult to reach zero risk or absolute safety level. Whenever such incidents do occur in order to prevent loss of lives and damage to property, it becomes necessary to take immediate steps to control the situation. This can be achieved through a planned advance preparation to face such a situation with respect to both on site and off site emergencies.

6.2. On-Site Management Plan

The On-Site plan will be circulated to all concerned members of emergency teams. It is essential that all concerned familiarize themselves with the overall on-site emergency plan and their respective roles and responsibilities during an emergency. They should also participate regularly in the mock drills that will be conducted so as to keep themselves and the emergency organization in a state of perpetual preparedness at all times to meet any emergency.

6.2.1. Objectives, Scope and contents of On-site Emergency Plan

Objectives of Emergency Planning are to maximize the resource utilization and combined efforts towards emergency operations and would broadly cover the following.

1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it. 2. To minimize the effects of accidents on people and property. 3. To take remedial measures in the quickest possible time to contain the incident and control it with minimum damage. 4. To mobilize the internal resources and utilize them in the most effective way. 5. To get help from the local community and government officials to supplement internal manpower and resources. 6. To minimize the damage in other sections.

To keep the required emergency equipment in stock at right places and ensure that they are in working condition. 8. To keep the concerned personnel fully trained in the use of emergency equipment. 9. To give immediate warning to the surrounding localities in case of an emergency situation arising. 10. To mobilize transport and medical treatment of the injured. 11. To educate the public in the surrounding places regarding hazards. 12. To arrange for rescue and treatment of casualties. 13. To safe guard the people. 14. To identify the causalities and communicate to relatives. 15. To render necessary help to concerned. 16. To rehabilitate area affected. 17. To provide information to media & government agencies

6.2.2. Scope of Onsite Emergency Plan

The plan covers information regarding the properties of the residential apartments, type of disasters and disaster/accident-prone zones, the actual disaster control plans with authority delegation, controlling and other details. General details like location, project layout, neighboring entities and the assistance they can render etc., are also provided.

The important elements considered in this plan are

 Statutory requirements  Emergency organization  Roles and Responsibilities  Communications during emergency  Emergency shutdown & control of situation  Rescue & Rehabilitation  Emergency facilities  Important Information

The primary purpose of the on-site emergency plan of DMP is to control and contain the incident and so to prevent if from spreading. It is not possible to cover every eventuality in the plan and the successful handling of the emergency will depend on appropriate action and decisions being taken on the spot. Other important aspects needing to be considered include the following:

27 Proposed Construction Project “Commercial Development at Bommasandra” by Prestige Office Ventures at 227 to 331 and 333, Bommasandra Village, Bengaluru, Karnataka. 6.3. Emergency

A major emergency in any situation is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life, which may cause extensive damage to the structures in the vicinity and environment and could result in serious disruption to normal operation both inside and outside the layout premises. Depending on the magnitude of the emergency, services of the outside agencies may also be required for supplementing the internal effort to effectively handle the emergency and to contain the damage.

The Management has to take effective steps to assess, minimize and wherever feasible eliminate the risks to a large extent. Accidents may still occur and it is necessary to be fully prepared to tackle all such emergencies if and when they occur.

It is likely that the consequences of such emergencies will be confined to the units concerned or may affect outside. If the consequences are confined within the plant boundary, it is then termed as On Site Emergency and will be controlled by Chief Emergency Controller.

In order to generate the plans it is necessary to first determine the kinds of accidents leading to an emergency that can occur in the layout. The most widely used technique in practice is based on experience accumulated over many years and safety audits.

A. Methodology

The considerations in an emergency planning include the following: -

1. Identification and assessment of hazards and risks 2. Hazard, consequence analysis 3. Alarm and communication procedures 4. Identifying, appointment of personnel & assignment of responsibilities 5. Identification and equipping Emergency control centre, Identifying Assembly, Rescue points, Medical facilities. 6. Emergency preparedness plan, procedures, steps to be taken before, during and after emergency. 7. Formulation of plan and emergency sources. 8. Training rehearsal, evaluation and updating the plan

28 Proposed Construction Project “Commercial Development at Bommasandra” by Prestige Office Ventures at 227 to 331 and 333, Bommasandra Village, Bengaluru, Karnataka. B. Structure of Emergency Management

a. Noticing the accidents b. Informing declarer of emergency c. Declaration of emergency d. Functions of declarer e. Interaction with outside agencies

C. Identification and Assessment of Hazards

This stage is crucial to both on-site and off-site emergency planning and requires systematic identification of all possible emergencies that could arise in the plants. These should range from small events, which can be dealt by plant personnel without any help from external agencies to the largest event that would require outside help. To tackle such emergencies effectively, it is essential to have clear-cut action plan. Experience has shown that for every occasion that the full potential of an accident is realized, there are many occasions when some lesser event occurs or when developing incident is made safe before reaching full potential.

D. Infrastructure at Emergency Control Center

Emergency control centres should therefore contain the following;

 An adequate number of external telephones; if possible, one should accept only outgoing calls, in order to bypass jammed switchboards during an emergency.  An adequate number of internal telephones  Radio equipment  A plan of the works, to show:  Areas where there are large inventories of hazardous materials.  Sources of safety and first aid equipment.  The fire-fighting system and additional sources of water.  Site entrance and roadways, including up-to-date information on road Traffic.  Assembly points.  Vehicle parking and rail sidings.  Additional work and layout plans detailing alternate routes and affected areas, during an emergency.  Note pads, pens and pencils.  A nominal role of employees.  A list of key personnel, with addresses, telephone numbers, etc.

29 Proposed Construction Project “Commercial Development at Bommasandra” by Prestige Office Ventures at 227 to 331 and 333, Bommasandra Village, Bengaluru, Karnataka. The emergency control centre should be sited in an area of minimum risk. Suitable location from where clear view of the plant is possible or the control room can be designated as Emergency Control Center. All the Site Controller/ Incident Controller Officers, Senior Personnel would be located here or have access to the ECC.

E. Emergency Medical Facilities

Stretchers, gas masks and general first aid materials for dealing with chemical burns, fire burns, etc., would be maintained in the medical centre as well as in the Emergency Control Room. A range of medicines should be maintained in the ECC/ Medical Center. Breathing apparatus and other emergency medical equipment should be provided and maintained.

The Medical Center should display poster for treating burns and first aid. Some medicines and facilities to be kept in the medical centre are suggested. The list is indicative and the qualified doctors of the medical centre should use their professional judgment for medical treatment.

G. Emergency action Plans a. Emergency Action Plan for Cylinder Fire:

1. When filled container containing LPG is involved in fire, internal pressure if not relieved, shall build up above 70KG/SQCM and ultimately rupture the container. Rupture weak by direct flame impingement. Ruptured containers can be propelled at distance by jet action. 2. If container’s pressure is not raised upto 70KG/SQCM leakage from screwed valve joint can occur due to different expansion of steel and brass. 3. Ignition of the escaping gas would aggravate the fire but release of fire reduces the possibility of rupture. 4. No attempt should be made to extinguish the burning gas but the container under fire and other containers in vicinity should be kept cool by water spray. 5. If the gas leakage does not ignite, the container should be approached from up and removed to the place of safety away fro, the source of ignition.

b. Emergency Action Plan for Electric Fire:

1. Disconnect the affected areas electric supply.

2. Attempt to extinguish fire with the help of Co2, DCP 3. If fire is not extinguished, extinguish by spraying water with fog nozzle after ensuring complete isolation of electric circuit.

c. Emergency Action Plan for Office Fire:

1. Disconnected electric supply of the affected area.

2. Attempt to extinguish the fire with the help of Co2, DCP and sand. 3. If large fire, use hydrant system. 4. Attempt to save the record. 5. Attempt fire extinguisher.

1. Attempt to extinguish small fire with the help of DCP 2. If the fire is not controlled, use water foam to blanket the fire and further action is to be taken.

e. Emergency Action Plan for Medical Aid

i. Emergency Action Plan for Electric Shock Casualties:

Electric shock results in Irreversible damage to brain cell begin followed by deterioration of the organs.

Rescue and first aid:

Do first aid quickly and without fuss and panic  Switch off the supply if this can be done at once.  If not possible use a dry stick, dry cloth or other non-conductor to separate the victim from electrical contact.  The rescuer must avoid receiving shock himself by wearing gloves or using a jacket to pull the victim.  Always keep in mind that delay in rescue and resuscitation may be fatal. Every sound counts.

ii. Artificial Respiration: Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. There are several methods of artificial respiration, if the victim is nit injured over the face, try mouth to mouth.

a) Mouth to mouth Method:

 If there is obstruction to breathing, remove it with your fingers if it in mouth. Several sharp blows between shoulder blade may help to is lodge an obstruction.  Lie casually on his back, put something under his shoulder to raise them & allow his head to fall backwards. The head should be, if possible be a little lower than the trunk. Remember that speed is essential.  Kneel at the causalities head and grasp his arms at the wrists then cross them firmly over the lower chest. This movement should force air out of his lungs.

32 Proposed Construction Project “Commercial Development at Bommasandra” by Prestige Office Ventures at 227 to 331 and 333, Bommasandra Village, Bengaluru, Karnataka. Press with the hands crossed on the lower part of the chest and maintain pressure for two seconds.  Release this pressure and pull out his arms with a sweeping movement upwards and outwards above his head and backwards as far as possible.  This movement should cause air to be drawn in to his lungs. Retain the arm in this position for three seconds.  Repeat these movements rhythmically about twelve times a minute checking the mouth frequently for obstructions. Each cycle will thus take give seconds- two seconds for chest pressure and three seconds for arm lift.  With the causality on his back there is danger of aspiration of vomit, mucus or blood re-entering the system. This risk can be reduced by keeping his head extended and a little lower than the trunk.  If an assistant is available, he can press the causality lower jaws so that the chin is jutting out.  The assistant should also ensure that the mouth is kept open as far as possible and head is tilted to one side.  When natural breathing begins, your movement should be adapted to correspond to it.  If burns are present, cover them with a dry sterile dressing  Handle the causality gentle  Do not allow people to crowd around and block fresh airflow  Arrange to remove the injured to the care of a doctor as early as possible.

f. Natural Hazards

i. Emergency Action Plan for Tornado/High Winds:

a. Weather reports shall be monitored from broadcast warnings regarding threatening conditions. b. If the tornado has been sighted or effect is felt, following steps should be taken by plant personnel.

 Persons shall be notified over public address system or through siren.  Emergency services shall be alerted for assistance.  Plant personnel should be advised to assemble in the administration building basement, staff room, recreation room and rest rooms.  All safety systems should be kept on alert and all nonessential utilities should be put off.
