scenario

In most cases trainers, after ToT programmeused in duties other than Trg.

CIVIL DEFENCE

Role of CD :

To provide protection to individuals,properties & establishments againstany hostile act in categorised CD towns

No. of categorised towns :

Total no. : 225

Activated : 125

CD Act 1968


20/24

Current Scenario

Geo-Political factor : Less chances of traditionalwar

New Challenges : Natural calamities man-made

disasters.

Community :

* First Responder

* Awareness/ Preparednesscrucial to mitigate damage/suffering

* CD a Community basedvoluntary orgn. may playimp. role

Recommendations ofCommittees on CD

I. GOM :

Suggested in depth review of theorganization's effectiveness to meet

new challenges in the contemporaryscenario

II. HPC : J.C. Pant Committee :

A Comprehensive role fo the CD in aharmonized structure for DM.


21/24

21

Proposed Role of CD

Pre-Disaster :

* Public Awareness

* Community Capacity Building

(Trg in Search & Rescue/ Medical First

Response)

During/ Post-Disaster :

* Response

* Relief

Key Recommendations

CD to be integrated in DM framework atgrass root level

Town specific concept of CD to be

changed to district specific coveringthe entire dist.

CD coverage to be extended to all the600 dists in 3 phases (3 Fin. Yrs)

Multi hazard dists(241) to be givenpriority


22/24

22

Key Recommendations Contd

Encourage Pub-Pvt Partnership withinvolvement of Corporate sector

CD to be a community-based voluntaryorganisation

Measures to enhance self-esteem &motivation of CD volunteers

Proposed Responsibilities of CD

Educating the community

Civil Defence awareness in schools

Sensitizing Govt servants

Sensitizing Semi-Govt/ Pvt Sectors

employees

Self capacity building


23/24

23

Approach

To function under the aegis of SDMA/ DDMA

Avail functional advantage of DM beingChairman, DDMA & Controller of CD

To function in close coordination with PRIs/RWAs/ Urban local bodies

Synergising the resources of youth Orgns(NCC/NSS/NYKS etc) in DM roles

Utilise the services of Home Guards also in DMrole

Prognosis

The suggested approach will make CD aneffective tool in the DM framework at grasstoot level with the added advantages of :

* Being from amongst the people

* With total concern for their own area


24/24

Conclusion

If the proposed scheme of CommunityCapacity building through Civil Defenceinfrastructure is implemented at thegrass root level, the resultant saving interms of loss of life and property inrecurring disaster would far outweighthe suggested expenditure.
