Looking at the vulnerability of the nation to various hazards like droughts, floods, cyclones and other extreme weather events which can be predicted to the more sudden disasters like earthquakes, landslides and various manmade disasters which cannot be predicted and are very frequent in the present day world, now it is high time for us to have an insight into these disasters and get ourselves prepared to reduce losses. Disaster management deals with and avoiding both natural and manmade disasters and should be used as daily work along with establishment and management of local facilities and resources. There are several principles of disaster management, which include the right use of resources for the day-to-day purposes, coordination between various organizations, efforts of individuals, focus of large scale events, right knowledge of geographical location and nature of the society etc. In India, there are many areas, which are often affected with natural calamity or manmade disasters, management of which are now top priority in universities/institutes of higher education. As a result, the study of disaster management has been included in recently restructured postgraduate programs at CCS HAU Hisar. The unit I of ‘Manual on Disaster Management’ discusses various natural disasters; their meaning and nature, their types and effects. The unit II discuss man made Disasters and unit III discuss management of all these disasters at various levels. They focus various precautionary measures that one needs to take to get one prepared from various disasters prevalent in our country and also focus on various structural and non-structural measures that we need to take to combat such disasters. The course on Disaster Management aims at having a practical understanding of managing disasters. I hope this manual will help the PG students who are the future of the nation and volunteers to be able to cope up with disasters and be better disaster managers and save many precious lives. I congratulate Dr Diwan Singh, Professor and Head, Dept of Agril Meteorology (Nodal Dept for this e-course) and his colleagues in designing and preparing ‘E-Course Manual on Disaster Management’ compulsory for all postgraduate programs/disciplines in CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar from academic session of 2010-11 onward. (OP Toky) July, 2010 Dean Post Graduate Studies CCS HAU Hisar Preface A disaster refers to an extreme disruption of the functioning of a society that causes widespread human, material, or environmental losses that exceed the ability of the affected society to cope with alone. The events like droughts, floods, cyclones, earthquakes by themselves, are not considered disasters. Rather, they become disasters when they adversely and seriously affect human life, livelihoods and property. Disaster management refers to measures taken to prepare for and reduce the effects of natural as well as man made disasters. Therefore, to predict and—where possible—prevent them, mitigate their effects on vulnerable populations, and respond to and effectively cope with their consequences. Early warning and early action offer concrete ways for doing so, locally and globally. Disaster management is a continuous and integrated process of wide range of activities and resources rather than from a distinct sectoral activity. It requires the contributions of many different areas—ranging from training and logistics, to health care to institutional development. We are highly thankful to Dr KS Khokhar, worthy Vice Chancellor, CCS HAU Hisar for his keen interest and guidance on framing the present e- course on ‘Disaster Management’ and entrusting the Department of Agricultural Meteorology the responsibility of nodal department for teaching the course to all PG students to be admitted in the university w.e.f. current academic session (2010-11). The authors are also thankful to Dr OP Toky, Dean, Post Graduate Studies, CCS HAU Hisar for his guidance and encouragement in preparation of the manual and writing Foreword. The reference material collected from various public domain portals for compilation of e-manual is also duefully acknowledged. The authors’ earnest hope is that this manual will serve as a useful reference material for our students in managing natural/man made disasters in most effective way to save lives and livelihoods to safeguard the development of the state and the nation.

The term ‗Disaster‘ owes its origin to the French word desastre, which is a combination of two words ‗des‘ meaning bad and ‗aster‘ meaning star. Thus, the term ‗disaster‘ refers to ‗Bad or Evil Star‘. In earlier days disasters were considered to be an outcome or outburst of some unfavorable star. Disaster is a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society causing widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. WHO has defined Disaster as- Any occurrence that causes damage, ecological disruption, loss of human life, deterioration of health and health services on a scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected community. What are we talking about? A Disaster is … • a sudden calamitous event bringing great damage, loss or destruction Webster dictionary) • some rapid, instantaneous or profound impact of the natural environment upon the socio-economic system" (Alexander, 1993) • an event, concentrated in time and space, which threatens a society or a relatively self -sufficient subdivision of a society with major unwanted consequences as a result of precautions which had hitherto been culturally accepted as unwanted (Turner, 1976). • an extreme event as any manifestation of the earth's system (lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere or atmosphere) which differs substantially from the mean (Alexander, 1993). • an event that results in death or injury to humans, and damage or loss of valuable good, such as buildings, communication systems, agricultural land, forest, natural environment etc. Types of Disaster Generally, disasters are of two types – Natural and Manmade. Based on the devastation, these are further classified into major/minor natural disaster and major/minor manmade disasters. Some of the disasters are listed below: 1 http://hau.ernet.in/coa/agromet.htm PGS-505 (e-Course) Disaster Management Major natural disasters: Minor natural disasters: • Flood • Cold wave • Cyclone • Thunderstorms • Drought • Heat waves • Earthquake • Mud slides • Storm Major man-made disaster: • Setting of fires Minor man-made disaster: • Epidemic • Road / train/ air accidents, riots • Deforestation • Food poisoning • Pollution due to prawn cultivation • Industrial disaster/ crisis • Chemical pollution. • Environmental pollution • Wars Risk: Risk is a measure of the expected losses due to a hazardous event of a particular magnitude occurring in a given area over a specific time period. Risk is a function of the probability of particular occurrences and the losses each would cause. The level of risk depends on: • Nature of the Hazard • Vulnerability of the elements which are affected • Economic value of those elements Vulnerability: It is defined as ―the extent to which a community, structure, service, and/or geographic area is likely to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction and proximity to hazardous terrain or a disaster prone area.‖ Hazards: Hazards are defined as ―Phenomena that pose a threat to people, structures, or economic assets and which may cause a disaster.

  • Risk Assessment
    RISK ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION Industrial plants deal with materials, which are generally hazardous in nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their temperature or pressure of operation or a combination of these. Fire, explosion, hazardous release or a combination of these are the hazards associated with industrial plants. These have resulted in the development of more comprehensive, systematic and sophisticated methods of safety engineering such as hazard analysis and risk assessment to improve the integrity, reliability and safety of industrial plants. The primary emphasis in safety engineering is to reduce risk to human life and environment. The broad tools attempt to minimize the chances of accidents occurring. Yet, there always exists, no matter how remote, that small probability of a major accident occurring. If the accident involves highly hazardous materials in sufficiently large quantities, the consequences may be serious to the plant, to surrounding areas and the populations therein. RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Hazard identification, HAZOP and risk assessment for proposed LPG plant have been carried and risk mitigation measures have been spelled to enhance safety for proposed LPG Plant and same is presented in RRA Report attached to EIA Report Disaster Management Plan for the unlikely event of an emergency is available and same is presented in RRA Report attached to EIA Report. RISK REDUCTION MEASURES Risk Assessment study provides a quantitative technique for assessing the significance of the impact of any facility on its external environment, highlights key areas for greater attention and provides a tool for comparing alternative options. Though, it cannot substitute for close attention to the fundamentals of safety throughout the design process or for design reviews.

    Hazmat suit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/8/10 8:19 PM Hazmat suit From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Hazmat suit is a garment worn as protection from hazardous materials or substances. A Hazmat suit is generally combined with breathing apparatus for protection and may be used by firefighters, emergency personnel responding to toxic spills, researchers, specialists cleaning up contaminated facilities, or workers in toxic environments. It is sometimes confused with, or referred to as, an NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) suit, which is a military version intended to be usable in combat.

  • Safety and Fire Protection
    International Safety Guide Chapter 19 for Inland Navigation Tank-barges and Terminals Safety and fire protection Chapter 19 SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION This Chapter contains general guidance on safety management at terminals and specific recommendations on the design and operation of fire detection and protection systems. The guidance on fire-fighting equipment in this Chapter should be considered in conjunction with Chapter 5, which addresses fire-fighting theory. 19.1 Safety 19.1.1 Design Considerations The layout and facilities at a terminal will be determined by many factors, including: • Local topography and water depth. • Access to the berth(s) - open sea, river, channel or inlet. • Types of cargo to be handled. • Quantities of cargo to be handled. • Local facilities and infrastructure. • Local environmental conditions and restrictions. • Current and tide. • Local and international regulations (e.g. escape routes, emergency stops). Most of the decisions regarding layout of facilities will have been decided at the initial planning and design stage for the terminal. However, many terminals have developed over time and may be required to handle a greater variety of products, larger quantities of cargoes and larger tankers than were anticipated when the terminal was originally designed. Terminals may also be subjected to reduced throughputs or changing environmental conditions, new standards and/or legislation. All terminals should be subjected to regular review to ensure that the facilities provided remain fit for purpose in the context of the operations being undertaken and current legislation. Such reviews should cover elements listed in the following sections, which will enable the terminal to maintain continuously the necessary level of safety.
