There are 12 MAH [Major Accident Hazard] and Chemical industries identified in Thane Region, Thane. Experience has shown that in spite of taking all precautions and safety measures, it is not possible to eliminate the hazards posed. If the effects of an accident or disasters escalate beyond the factory boundary, then the situation so created is called an OFFSITE EMERGENCY. Therefore, a comprehensive disaster planning is essential to mitigate the adverse effects on human life and damage to the property and environment caused due to fire, explosion, toxic release, spillage of hazardous substances etc. Notwithstanding, the preparation and implementation of Off-Site and On Site emergency plan is mandatory under the provisions of Chemical Accidents [Emergency, Planning. Preparedness and Response ] Rules 1996. Therefore, this Off-Site Emergency Plans prepared for TMC Area as per MOEF Guidelines. We are very much grateful to Dr. Mahendra Kalyankar IAS.

INTRODUCTION A.1 The Need for Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Major disasters like that in Bhopal, India, in December 1984, which resulted in 2,000 deaths and over 200,000 injuries, are rare. Reports of hazardous materials spills and releases, however, are increasingly commonplace. Thousands of new chemicals are developed each year. Citizens and officials are concerned about accidents, [e.g.- highway incidents, warehouse fires, train derailments, industrial incidents] happening in their communities. Recent evidence shows that Hazardous material incidents are considered by many to be the most significant threat facing local jurisdictions. Communities .need to prepare themselves to prevent such incidents and to respond to the accidents that to occur. Purpose of this Plan The purpose of this plan is to assist public in planning for hazardous materials incidents. The Objectives of this plan are to: Focus public activity on emergency preparedness and response; Provide public with information useful in organizing the planning task; Furnish criteria to determine risk and to help public decide whether they need to plan for hazardous materials incidents: Help public conduct planning that is consistent with their needs and capabilities; and Provide a method for continually updating a public's emergency plan. This plan will not Give a- simple "fill-in-the-blanks" model plan [because each public needs an emergency plan suited to its own unique circumstances]; Provide details on response techniques; or Train personnel to respond to incidents. Public planners will need to consult other resources in addition to this plan. ANNEXURE - 1 Incident Information Summary 5 A.2 Plan Distribution 1. Chairman DCG and District Collector 2.
