· Receive all recommended vaccinations, inoculations and encourage the neighbours to help health authorities to prevent spread of epidemics · Avoid stockpiling preventive medicines at family level. This may create a severe shortage of essential drugs. · Take extra-care in disposal of family waste and also assist in community efforts in disposal of waste · Keep in constant touch with epidemic information and public health staff in the area 4.2 During the Epidemic · Report any symptoms to the health authorities immediately · Understand if there is a need for quarantine · Understand the nature of treatment and possible emergencies · Do not leave the epidemic area without a clearance from the health authorities · Report arrival of any guests from the epidemic area · Discourage relatives and friends from outside epidemic area to visit your areas · Understand the steps to be taken in the disposal of personnel belongings of the patient including disposal of excreta · Understand the procedure for disposal of the dead body of the epidemic victim 5. Road Accidents : [In addition to what has been listed under family preparedness as a generic response, road accidents demand specific preparedness and responses. Given below are the preparedness measures and responses which are specific to road accidents]. Road Accidents are a major killer and take place without any warning. Accidents may involve passenger vehicles, goods vehicles, vehicles carrying hazardous and toxic materials. The damage therefore may involve injuries and deaths, chemical spills, fires or release of toxic gases. 5.1 On accident event (involving passenger vehicle) Those at the accident site should follow the following priorities · Look for and rescue the injured or those trapped in the vehicles · Arrange for transport of the injured to the nearest medical care centre · Place the dead bodies on one side to avoid obstructions · Organise locally traffic control using the available manpower to avoid traffic jams Discourage people from crowding near the accident spot. · Discourage people from looting the goods from the accident vehicle. Arrange to inform the nearest traffic police post through passing vehicles on either side 5.2 On accident event (involving hazardous and toxic elements) · Do not go anywhere near the accident spot unless the hazardous and toxic elements are properly understood and discourage others. The contents may explode or catch fire · Prevent people at the accident site from lighting of matches for cigarettes etc. · Discourage people from collecting the spills from the accident vehicle as the chemicals might be deceptive and lead to toxic exposure or explosions · Arrange to inform the nearest traffic police/fire brigade through passing vehicles · Identify the wind direction and move in the opposite direction · Do not allow any traffic congestion near the accident spot C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\C.Lotus.Notes.DataRevised Grain Bank
· Stop the traffic at a sufficient distance (at least half a kilometre) from the accident spot in all directions till the nature of chemicals is properly understood. 10. DISSEMINATION OF DDMAP In order for the DDMAP to be effective it would be disseminated at two levels ; · to the district authorities, government departments, NGOs and other agencies and institutions within the district and · to general public. Effective dissemination of plan requires a well designed and focused training and awareness programmes. The responsibility for dissemination of the plan is vested with the District Disaster Manager, at the Collectorate, and training activities will be carried out under the guidance and direction of YASHADA, as well as through awareness programmes organised by each of the agencies participating in disaster management such as Irrigation Department organising warning and evacuation exercises or Fire Brigade demonstrating rescue operations. The District Disaster Manager would also involve NGOs in preparing suitable public awareness material to be distributed to the public. The training programmes will be organised for different levels of functionaries. The district level officials and identified NGOs, Private Sector organisations will receive the training at YASHADA under their Training of Trainers (TOT) programme in order to equip them to extend training facilities to functionaries at taluka and village level as well as organise simulation exercises within the community. Some of the select government training institutions at the district level will participate in such TOTs and undertake training programmes for government functionaries. Efforts will be therefore directed to decentralise training activity to the extent possible so as to enable YASHADA to serve as resource centre and provide training expertise to various groups. The materials for awareness programmes at community level would be prepared in the local language to ensure widespread dissemination. Media would be extensively used for public awareness programmes. These will include ‣ Newspapers including local ones ‣ TV ‣ Local cable networks ‣ Radio ‣ Folk media ‣ Publicity material Schools, colleges and other public institutions would be specifically targetted. In addition to dissemination of literature related to the DDMAP, disaster response drills should be conducted on a regular basis especially in the disaster prone areas to maintain the readiness of communities and departments as regards operational procedures, personnel and equipment and orderly response.
