National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM), 2009

Came into force October 22, 2009. The policy aims to have a safe and disaster resilient India. It provides for developing a proactive, holistic, multi-disaster facet and technology driven strategy through a culture of

 Preparedness

 Prevention

 Mitigation

 Response

As in National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM), 2009, Central response follows two types of reliefs to Disaster Management. They are:

The primary relief functions of the Central Government are concerned with:

 Forecasting and operation of warning system

 Maintenance of uninterrupted communi­ cation

 wide publicity to warnings of impending calamity, disaster preparedness and measures through TV, AIR and Newspapers

 Transport with particular reference to evacuation and movement of essential commodities and petroleum products etc.

The  secondary  relief  functions  of  the Central Government would relate to:

            flood inflow forecasts from the Central water Commission

            Relief, rehabilitation and restoration through military aid to civil authorities

            Contingency plans for crops, cattle preservation nutrition and health measures

            Technical and technological inputs for provision, drinking water etc.

 

Disaster Emergency Kit

When a natural disaster occurs, we can’t always rely on police or government to provide help. The grocery stores might be so badly damaged that you can’t go into it. The supplies in the store might be quickly depleted or you may not be able to get to the store.

The six basic supplies you need in a disaster kit are:

Water, Food, First aid supplies

Clothing, bedding and sanitation supplies, tools and special items

Water

            You should have a three-day supply of water on hand, or about one gallon per day per person

            If your water is not already treated with chlorine, add some household bleach to the bottles. It should be stored in a cool, dark place for no longer than six months

Food

            Put aside atleast three-days worth of food in your disaster kit that is non-perishable and don’t need refrigeration

            Also, choose foods that don’t need heating. Avoid foods with a high salt content as they will make you thirsty

            Foods that are recommended are Candy, chocolate, tea, coffee, Sugar, salt, pepper,canned juice, milk, soup, canned fruits, meat, vegetables, Peanutbutter, jelly, food for babies and food for pets.
