Himachal Govt. to establish three Companies under State Disaster Response Force
The State Government establishing three Companies under the State Disaster Response Force, on analogy of National Disaster Response Force to generate a prompt and efficient response at the time of disasters.
On the occasion of International Day for Disaster Reduction, launched four schemes of the HP State Disaster Management Authority . These Schemes for creation of Task Force of Youth Volunteers for Disaster Preparedness and Response, Scheme for Hospital Safety, Scheme for Structural Safety Audit of Lifeline Buildings and Scheme for Training of Masons, Carpenters and Bar Binders on Hazard Resistant Construction.
Himachal Pradesh was one of the most multi hazard prone States of the Country. State faces various hazards like geological hazards, earthquakes and landslides, hydrological hazards such as floods, flash floods and glacial outbursts, besides meteorological hazards, lime hailstorms, droughts and cloudbursts. Thus it was essential that each and every citizen of the State was well prepared to meet out any eventuality at the time of disaster.
The State Government would create a task force of youth volunteers for disaster preparedness and response. In each 3226 Panchayats of the state, at least 10 or 20 youth volunteers would be trained for disaster mitigation. This would ensure immediate and quick response at the time of any natural disaster. It was also vital to create public awareness and preparedness in order to ensure the loss to life and property during the disaster.
The Second Scheme that is for Hospital Safety was aimed at providing safe hospital since they were critical infrastructure and play a vital role in any post disaster scenario and have to remain fully functional after a catastrophic event.
On the request of the State Government the Union Government has sanctioned a Battalion of NDRF for the State keeping in view the disaster prone topography of the State. For better coordination at the time of any natural disaster, the State Government was also contemplating to establish Emergency Operation Centre at one place in the State.
