HAZARD ASSESSMENT IN MNS UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING &

TECHNOLOGY MULTANHAZARD:

A hazard can be defined as “any phenomenon or situation, which has the potential to cause disruption or damage to people, their property and their services and environment”.

HAZARD =capacity∗disastervulnerability

NATURAL HAZARDS

Natural phenomena which pose a threat to people, structures or economic assets and may cause disaster e.g High winds, floods, fires, volcanic eruption, landslides, droughts and earthquakes are all natural hazards

HUMAN INDUCED HAZARDS‐

Conditions that may have disastrous consequences for a society. These are associated with industries or energy generation facilities and include explosions, leakage of toxic waste, pollution, dam failures. War or civil strife is included in this category

HAZARD ASSESSMENT

The process of estimating, for defined areas, the probabilities of the occurrence of potentially damaging phenomena of given magnitude within a specified period of time. Hazard assessment involves analysis of formal and informal historical records and skilled interpretation of existing topographical, geological, hydrological and land use maps.‐

HAZARD MAPPING:

The process of establishing geographically where and to what extent particular phenomena are likely to pose a threat to people, property, infrastructure, and economic activities. Hazard mapping represents the results of hazard assessment on a map, showing the frequency / probability of occurrence of various magnitudes or durations

PURPOSE OF HAZARD ASSESSMENT:

The purpose of hazard assessment is to specify the nature and behavior of the potential hazards andthreats people face.

DISASTER:

An event natural or man‐ made, sudden or progressive, which impacts with such severity that the affected community has to respond by taking exceptional measures

HAZARDS WHICH ARE LIKELY TO THREATEN IN MNS UET MULTAN

HAZARD EFFETCS

TERRORISM It is most probably hazard which can occure in university zone .

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL Any explosive or hazardous material present in laboratory can damage the students if misused of them.

ELECTRICITY SHORT CIRCUITS Almost Every room in university has this type of problem that can create a serious threat to students as well as teacher. Death may be occure.

DENGUE Occurrence and probability of this disease is high because there is no proper arrangement for this.

DEGREE ISSUE It is one of major problem in university. University is not registered in HEC list that can lead towards strike from students

HEAT WAVE Temperature of Multan remains high in summer as compared to other city. So heat wave can take place in university which is not good for students

THUNDER STORM Likelihood of this hazard is very low but it can damage the university building as well as students.

EARTHQUAKE Death or injuries is common in case of earthquake.

FLOODING Chances of flood cannot be denied in university because Multan is present near the river Chenab.it can destroyed the university building

POLLUTION Bike & car parking in university can create pollution in university because fuel creates pollution which is not good for students health

RISK RANKING MATRIX

The Risk Ranking Matrix is used to assess the likelihood and the severity or consequences of each hazard and to give it a “risk rating

HAZARD CONSEQUENCES(C) LIKELIHOOD(L) RISK LEVEL RATING

Terrorism Catastrophic Certain To Occur Critical

Hazardous Material Major Possible High

Dengue Major Rare Critical

Heat Wave Moderate Possible High

Thunder Storm Catastrophic Unlikely Critical

Earthquake Catastrophic Very Likely Critical

Flooding Major Rare Critical

Pollution Insignificant Rare Very Low

HIERARACHY OF CONTROLS

DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE FOR TERRORISM

PRE DISASTER PHASE

Prevention

Govt should take responsibility that everyone should be educated and increase educational capacity of country. Reduce the poverty from the country. these are some factors which lead the people toward terrorism.

Mitigation

Armed forces of the country should take action against the people that are involve in terrorist activities. Point out those people who funding them. Must keep operation like ZARB E AZAB to eradicate them.

Preparedness

Police, army and other forces with latest equipment should be ready for such response. Emergency response number should be provider to public so that in crucial situation they call up the forces so that loss may be less in rapid action.

Warning

An intelligence agency is responsible for the collection, analysis, and exploitation of information and intelligence in support of law enforcement, national security, military objectives. Means of information gathering are both overt and covert and may include espionage, communication interception, cryptanalysis, cooperation with other institutions, and evaluation of public source.

POST DISASTER PHASE

Response

Emergency response (ER) is a prudent defense-in-depth measure regardless how small the probability of a serious reactor accident or a terrorist attack. Response should be effective and planned. Take care of public in case of response so that less death can occur.

Rehabilitation

Better medical facility should be provided for injured people and Govt should help financially to the family of those people who died in attack and injured also.

Reconstruction

At last reconstruct the building and other infrastructure damaged in that hazard by state

COMMENTS

Hazard identification, risk assessment and control is an on-going process. Therefore, regularly review the effectiveness of your hazard assessment and control measures. The effectiveness of control measures can be checked through regular reviews as well as consultation with Administration of university. Maintaining records of the risk management process assists when undertaking subsequent reviews or risk assessments as it demonstrates decision making processes and informs how controls were intended to be implemented.
