The Drill started at 11:30 AM sharp with the Earthquake of 7.9 Richter Scale at Delhi- Moradabad fault line the intensity of earthquake was so high that it resulted in structural damage and fire incidents at various above cited venues.

The calls were made form incident site to the ESFs viz. 100, 101, 102 & 1077 and District East EOC Control Room (Ph: 22051234). Simultaneously calls were made to concerned Stake Holders in order to respond to emergency situation at various incident sites in District East.

In response to the call, the District Emergency Support Functionaries (ESFs) started reaching the site with their emergency resources, both Man Power & Equipment; in order to respond to the ‘Crisis’.

During the Mock Drill Major Sudeep Dutt along with team of 40 members were the observers of the complete experience in District East. The Drill was successfully conducted with the participation of more than 18 Agencies like Govt. Department viz. Revenue Department, Police, Traffic Police, Delhi Fire Services, Delhi Health Services, CATS, St. John Ambulance Brigade, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, Army, NDRF, Civil Defence, Nehru Yuwa Kendra Sangathan, Delhi Disaster Management Authority, Delhi Transport Corporation, MTNL, Delhi Jal Board etc., Govt. Hospitals like Dr. Hedgewar Arogaya Sansthan Hospital, Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital & Max Balaji Hospital (Private Hospital) & NGOs like Dera Sachha Sauda, Indian Development for Human Care, Anchal Charitable Trust, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal.

In addition to above, ‘Drop, Cover & Hold’ Drill followed by evacuation of the building was also carried in all the Govt., MCD & Private Schools of the District.

The drill incorporated the Incident Command System and Officers from Deputy Commissioner (East) Office acted as Incident Commander for various venues.

All the ESFs responded as per their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and assigned duties & responsibilities & responded to the various Incident Sites promptly within 10-20 minutes. Mock Drill ended peacefully.

A Debriefing meeting was organized at 1:30 PM on 15th February, 2012 in the Bhagidari Hall of O/o the Deputy Commissioner (East) which was participated by all Nodal Officers from various departments as well as the In-charges of the 19 venues / sites and the Incident Commander deputed from Revenue Department at various sites as well as the Army Officials & NDRF Team Members.

Points discussed during debriefing meeting:

1. Few Agencies were present at the venue sites prior to the start of the mock drill. It was suggested by Deputy Commissioner (East) to all ESFs that the Agencies should start for the sites from their base stations only.

2. During the Mock Drill, Delhi Police efficiently managed the Law & Order conditions and promptly cordoned off the every incident site.

3. Deputy Commissioner (East) congratulated Delhi Traffic Police for making perfect arrangement for the control of Traffic congestion in the traffic prone areas.

4. Deputy Commissioner (East) congratulated Delhi Jal Board for providing water tanker at each incident site and every Relief Centres.

5. While the Mock Drill in Scope Minar, Laxmi Nagar was going on, a small fire incident also took place at V th floor in Core-I in the O/o Coal India Ltd. However the fire was promptly & efficiently controlled by the Delhi Fire Services, no injuries were reported during the Incident.

6. MTNL established WLL connection at various sites while at few sites only Mobile MTNL Services were provided. The MTNL Helpline No. started at the Scope Minar was 220500202, however it was suggested to establish WLL connections, in future, at the Incident Site instead of providing mobile services, with the view that Mobile Service do not work efficiently during such disasters.

7. The Black Out (for 3 minutes) carried out by BSES at all Incident Sites at 11:30 hrs was appreciable. However Deputy Commissioner (East) suggested for carrying out complete black out of the Incident Site till the evacuation process is complete, in order to avoid any mishap.

8. NGOs in District East reacted promptly to the varying incidents. Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal provided 6 ambulances at various venues while the volunteers from Dera Sachha Sauda assisted in Search & Rescue activities at all sites.

9. During the Mock Drill, a crunch of Ambulance was noticed mostly at all the sites. However this deficiency was overcome by utilizing Delhi Police PCR Vans for transferring the victims to the Hospitals.

10. The support provided by DMRC during the Mock Drill at Karkardooma Metro Station was commendable.

11. The response of the Delhi Health Services, Govt. & Private Hospitals was admired by Deputy Commissioner (East).

12. The efforts of Delhi Fire Service were commendable. Deputy Commissioner (East) congratulated Delhi Fire Services for their hard work & cooperation during the complete Mock Drill.

13. A fine response from NDRF along with the team of 45 members & Disaster Management equipments led by Sh. Ashok Rai (Inspector) was highly remarkable.

14. MCD responded in time at all the venues.

The Incident Commander, Sh. R.K. Misra, Deputy Commissioner (East) cum Chairperson, DDMA (East) appreciated all ESFs of District East for their tremendous support & cooperation in successfully carrying out the Mock Drill at 19 venues in the District. He also appreciated the response time of all Agencies & further suggested that there is need to have more such exercises so as to improve the inter agency coordination which was missing at few sites. Further visualizing the crunch of Ambulances at Incident Sites, it was suggested to strengthen the Medical response system in the District so as to efficiently cater the emergency situations.

The overall performance from all Agencies was satisfactory, which is further expected to improve by carrying out more such exercises in future. Special thanks were also made to Army Officials, NDRF Team & Director (NDMA).
