 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter covers Risk Assessment Studies for the construction and operation phase, the
safety precautions that have to be taken during construction phase and the Disaster
Management Plan and Emergency Preparedness Plan Onsite and Offsite.

2. DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Disaster management is defined as the discipline of avoiding and dealing with natural risks. The
whole process involves a preparation plan for the impending disaster, action in response to a
disaster, and support and strength to rebuild a community after the occurrence of a disaster.
Disaster management is very important for any building. It makes the occupant aware of the
various disasters possible in a building, prevention & procedures, training in disaster
management, and after-disaster procedures for building objects.
In general, disaster management is a continuous process that aims to manage and minimize
hazards. Under disaster response, there are a variety of actions to take like evacuation
quarantine, mass decontamination, and the like. Disaster management has its own advantages.
Some of these are:
• Reduces the effects of a disaster's aftermath
• Gives the chance to survive, no matter what kind of a disaster occurs and irrespective of
when it occurs
• Gives you peace of mind from the uncertainties of close encounters to unexpected
and dangerous natural events
• Minimize the effects of the accident on people and property
• Initiate the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
• Bring the incident under control
• Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the emergency
• Investigate and take steps to prevent recurrence of similar incidents
• Inform and collaborate with statutory local and state authorities

DMP follows the Basic structure as shown in Figure 1

i. Risk assessment and Vulnerability Analysis of Possible Disasters

Risk assessment study deals with identifying and evaluating the magnitude of impending
risks to which the neighboring population is exposed due to occurrence of accidents
involved in the project construction and development.

Hazard Identification: Physical, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Vibration & Occupational

health hazards during construction phase

Risk of body injury, Injury to eyes, fatal accident, Fire and explosion, Hearing loss etc.

- Risk Assessment:
The details are explained below:

The calculation involves following 4 steps to complete the assessment:

Step-1 Consider how likely a risk is encountered and what might happen (Likelihood-L)
Step-2 Use the risk level calculator to determine the likely risk level to persons who may be
exposed to the hazards.
Step-3 Determination of Risk level outcome.
Step-4 Identify & develop effective control measures.

1. Livelihood of event occurring

Livelihood of event occurring
Almost certain Event is expected to occur in most circumstances
Likely Event will probably occur in most circumstances
Possible Event might occur at some time
Unlikely Event could occur at some time

 Rare Event may occur only in exceptional circumstances
2. Consequences level of Event occurring

Level of consequences
Catastrophic (C) Fatality or permanent disability: toxic releases of chemicals, long term
environmental impact; loss of facilities: very high financial loss
High Long–term illness or serious injury; serious medium –term
environmental effects; major property damage; loss of production;
high financial loss
Moderate (M) Medical treatment requiring up to several days off works; spillage
contained with outside assistance; significant property damage; med-
high financial loss.
Low (L) Minor injury requiring First-Aid; spillage contained on site; moderate
property damage; low- mined financial loss.
Insignificant (I) No injuries; minor property or environmental damage; very low
financial loss

iii. Response Plan

❖ Emergency Preparedness and response plan for construction phase

An emergency having medium risk (cautionary risk) to high risk (critical risk) associated with it
needs to be treated as non-tolerable or unacceptable. Projects use Periodic Management
Attention and Continuous Management Attention as a strategic tool to manage cautionary risk
and critical risk respectively.
Accordingly, Project Specific Emergency Response Plan is evolved incorporating five
components;

13
 • Prevention
• Preparedness
• Response
• Recovery
• Mitigation
Table 4 : Components of Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan

Components Explanation/Associated Elements

Prevention Prevention may not be always practical in case of natural disasters. But certain
planning consideration help to minimize the impacts during emergency situation.
Contrary, towards man-made emergency, prevention can be quite effective.
Example- incidents and occupational diseases can be prevented by applying
various controls; elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative &
personal
Preparedness It involves developing mechanism towards emergency preparedness
a. Defining EPR team structure at project level
b. Demarcation of roles, responsibility & authority
c. Determining line of command and control
d. Allocation of resources including training
e. Developing & maintaining inventory of emergency management
equipment’s
Preparedness also involves periodical testing through planned Mock Drill&
Table Top exercises
Response Response is execution of preparedness plans and typically involves,
a. Put preparedness plan in execution
b. Evaluate its effectiveness i.e. determine the gap between the plan and the
execution
c. Revisit plan and improve it in view of gap analysis (as part of Mitigation)
d. Incorporate the learning’s for continual improvement
Recover Response is followed by recovery wherein projects need to take steps to bring
back normalcy as soon as possible. The focus should be to maintain continuity of
business by minimizing / eliminating disruptions and delays.
Typically, recovery involves the following (but not limited to)
a. Clear up from the incident or help the people involved overcome their
mental trauma
b. Consultation and coordination with contractors, suppliers and internal
functions to streamline the work and the supply
c. Repair/renovate offices, Labour camps, stores, work fronts,
machinery/equipment
d. Sanitization of entire area including canteen and utilities- water supply,
wash rooms, & toilets/urinals
e. Pest Control
f. Preventive Health Check-up & consultation
g. Reorganizing workforce and re-inducting them
Mitigation Mitigation involves taking steps to ensure no re-occurrence if possible, or putting
additional plans in place to ensure less damage is done next time. This should
feedback in to the preparedness stage, with updated plans in place to deal with
future emergencies.

Emergency Preparedness & Response Plan (EPRP)

14
 In consideration with components of EPRP, project specific EPRP is developed by the project
team in a particular format as given in Table 4.
Tips for preparing plan:
• Have one plan sheet for one emergency scenario. Every emergency having
cautionary or critical risk need to be covered
• Emergency Preparedness & Response Team can be the same for all emergency
situations. Project should take a call to have one or more team for emergency
situation management.

i. Risk Assessment & Vulnerability Analysis of Possible Disaster

❖ Hazard Identification and Safety Assessment

➢ Identification of potential structural hazards existing in the area

22
 • Structural safety of the building needs to be assessed with regards to its safety from
hazards like earthquakes, floods and fire.

➢ Identification of potential non-structural hazards existing in the area

• DMC plan should be in that position to identify the potential hazards that frequently
occur in that area. It is therefore necessary for us to identify potential hazards to which
the building might be exposed. For this a hazard assessment shall be conducted by
taking into account the history of disasters that have occurred in that area for the last 20
- 25 years. Based on the hazard assessment, the members of the DMC will prepare the
Disaster Management Plan.
Source:-[Link]
(For identification of history of any disaster during the last 20-25 years.)

➢ Points to remember while coordinating a survey

• Check low lying area, Nallah, pitch hill, chocking site or any municipal tank etc. nearby
or surrounding of the site
• The areas which would cause problems in an earthquake, flood, and fire are identified.

❖ Possible disasters: Fire/ Flooding/ Earthquake/ Bomb Explosion/ Terror Attack/

Structural Problems/ Lightening/ Power Failure/ Fire – Smoke/Electrical Fires/ Manmade

ii. Mitigation Measures & Preparedness

a) Prepare SOP’s for each disaster and for evacuation when necessary
All SOP’s for each Disaster and for evacuation is been prepared, attached to DMP.

I. NATURAL DISASTER:

❖ Earthquake: Seismic Environment & Precautions

Mitigation Measure:
As per the Seismic Zoning Map of India, Mumbai region falls under Seismic Zone-II. The
structural design is base, on following Indian Standard Codes of practice and shall render the
buildings safe and stable.
1. IS -456 -2000 -Code of Practice for Plain & Reinforced Concrete Structure.
2. IS -875 -1987 -Code of Practice for Design Loads.
3. IS -1893 -2002 -Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structure
4. IS -800 -1984 -Code of Practice for General Construction in Steel.

❖ Floods:

Particularly in Mumbai, areas having poor drainage characteristic get flooded by accumulation
of water from heavy rainfall (extreme Situation).

Mitigation measures would be taken by Proponents to manage flood disasters:

• Storm water system would be checked and cleaned periodically
• Vulnerability of basement should be mapped
• Dewatering sump pumps shall be installed at four different locations
• Provision of Storm water drainage system with adequate capacity. These drains shall
have silt and oil and grease traps to avoid pollution of water in drains outside the plot.
• SWD system shall construct as per the SWD.

26
❖ Cyclones:
Cyclones are caused by atmospheric disturbances around a low-pressure area distinguished by
swift and often destructive air circulation. They are usually accompanied by violent storms and
bad weather.
There is no history of any cyclone in this area. However, in such an instance the occupants
should be advised to stay in the shelter in tightly secured windows and doors. The glass of
windows etc. should be covered with paper/cardboards to avoid glass breaking due to flying
objects outside.

❖ Lightning:
Lightning is an atmospheric electrostatic discharge accompanied by thunder which typically
occurs during thunderstorms and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. It often
leads to physical damage to the building and occupants. It can also lead to short circuits, failure
of power supply and fire.

Mitigation measure:
• Lightning arrestor systems shall be provided for entire project to abate the impact of
lightning hazard.

II. Man Made Disaster

❖ Bombs & Other Terrorist Activities

Bombs can be constructed to look like almost anything and can be placed or delivered in any
number of ways. The probability of finding a stereotypical- looking bomb is almost nonexistent.
The only common denominator among bombs is that they are designed to explode. Most bombs
are homemade. Only the imagination of and the resources available to the bomber limit their
design. When searching for a bomb, suspect anything that looks unusual. Let the trained
technician determine what is or is not a bomb. Follow the checklist given below:
• Addressee unfamiliar with name and address of sender
• Improper or incorrect title, address, or spelling of name of addressee
• Handwritten or poorly typed address
• Return address and postmark are not from same area
• Excessive postage or unusual stamps used versus metered postage
• Special handling instructions on package (special delivery, to be opened by addressee
only, foreign mail, and air mail, etc.)
• Restrictive markings (personal, confidential, etc.)
• Excessive securing material such as wrapping, tape, or string
• Oddly shaped or unevenly weighted packages
• Bulky, lumpy, or rigid envelopes
• Protruding wires or metal, strange odors
• Mail arrives before or after a telephone call from an unknown person who asks whether
the recipient has opened it or who requests that he or she opens it

This is only a general checklist. When an item is in question, the best protection is to make
personal contact with the sender of the package or letter but not to open it.

Mitigation Plan
➢ Safety Procedure
To cope with a bomb incident, it is necessary to develop two separate but interdependent plans.
The bomb incident plan provides the detailed procedures to be implemented when a bombing

27
attack is threatened or executed. A physical security plan, which is covered in detail in the next
section, provides protection of property, personnel, facilities, and material against unauthorized
entry, traces pass, damage, or other illegal or criminal acts.

To carry out these plans, a definite chain of command must be established to instill confidence
and avoid panic. This is easy if there is a simple structure, or one business, in the building.
However, in a multiple-tenant building a representative from each tenant should attend a
planning conference. A leader—the Facility Manager, Security In-charge—should be appointed
and a clear line of succession delineated. This chain of command should be printed and
circulated to all concerned parties. There should also be a command center to act as a focal
point for telephone or radio communications. The management personnel assigned to operate
the center should have the authority to decide what action is to be taken during the threat. Only
those with assigned duties should be permitted in the center, and alternates need to be
appointed in case some-one is absent when a threat is received. In addition, an updated
blueprint or floor plan of the building should be obtained and kept in the command center.

Contact the police department, fire department, or local government agencies to determine if
any assistance is available for developing a physical security plan or bomb incident plan. If
possible, have police or fire department representatives and building and tenant staff inspect
the building for areas where explosives are likely to be concealed; make a checklist of these
areas for inclusion in command center materials.

➢ Other Security Mitigation Measures to Reduce the Threat of Bombs

Controls should be established to positively identify personnel who have authorized access to
critical areas and to deny access to unauthorized personnel. These controls should include
inspection of all packages and materials being taken into critical areas, as well as the following:
• Security and maintenance personnel should be alert for people who act in a suspicious
manner, as well as objects, items or parcels that look out of place or suspicious.
Surveillance should be established to include potential hiding places (e.g., stairwells,
restrooms, and any vacant space) for unwanted individuals. Designated patrols of such
areas will assist in this endeavor.
• Doors or access ways to certain areas—mechanical rooms, switchboards and elevator
control rooms— should remain locked when not in use. It is important to establish a
procedure to keep track of keys. If keys cannot be accounted for, locks should be
changed.
• Good housekeeping also is vital. Trash or dumpster areas should remain free of debris. A
bomb or device can easily be concealed in the trash. Combustible materials should be
properly disposed of, or protected if further use is anticipated.
• Detection devices may be installed at entrances to high-risk tenant areas, and CCTV
should be used in areas identified as likely places where a bomb may be placed. This,
coupled with posting signs indicating that such measures are in place, is a good
deterrent.

➢ Responding to Bomb Threats

Instruct all personnel, especially those at telephone switchboards, on what to do if a bomb

threat call is received. It is always best if more than one person listens in on the call. To do this, a
covert signaling system should be implemented, perhaps by using a predetermined signal to a
second reception point.
A calm response to the bomb threat caller could result in obtaining additional information. This
is especially true if the caller wishes to avoid injuries or deaths. If told that the building is
occupied or cannot be evacuated in time, the bomber may be willing to give more specific
information on the bomb's location, components, or method of initiation.

28
➢ Vital Actions
The person making the threat is the best source of information about the bomb. When a bomb
threat is called in, the person taking the call should do the following:
• Keep the caller on the line as long as possible. Ask him or her to repeat the message.
Record every word spoken by the person. (Some building managers and individual
tenants may provide audio recorders for this purpose; others by policy do not)
• Pay particular attention to background noises such as motors running, music playing,
and any other noise that may give a clue as to the location of the caller
• Listen closely to the voice (male or female), voice quality (calm or excited), accent, and
any speech impediment. Immediately after the caller hangs up, report the threat to the
person(s) designated by management to receive such information
• Report the information immediately to the police department, fire department, and
other appropriate agencies. The sequence of notification should be established in the
bomb incident plan
• When a written threat is received, save all materials, including any envelope or
container. Once the message is recognized as a bomb threat, further unnecessary
handling should be avoided. Every possible effort must be made to retain evidence such
as fingerprints, handwriting or typewriting, paper, and postal marks. These will prove
essential in tracing the threat and identifying the writer. Although written messages
usually are associated with generalized threats and extortion attempts, a written
warning about a specific device may occasionally be received. It should never be
ignored.

❖ Aircraft Collisions: Manmade disaster

A building is vulnerable to the remote possibility that an aircraft flying off-course could collide
with it or aircraft collide chances may occur. Obviously, the additional height, as compared with
other structures, makes them more susceptible. To prevent such collide aircraft warning light
shall be installed.

➢ Aircraft Warning Lights

• Aircraft warning lights are high-intensity lighting devices that are attached to tall
structures that are used as collision avoidance measures. Such devices make structures
more visible to passing aircraft and are usually used at night, although they may be used
during the day as well. These lights need to be of sufficient brightness in order to be
visible for miles around the structure.

➢ The lights generally come in two forms:

• Red lamps that are either constantly illuminated or turn on and off slowly in a cycle of a
few seconds.
• The luminaries will have an effective intensity of required candelas
• All luminaries will be supplied with minimum capacity required Volt A.C. powers
connected to the emergency maintained system.

b) Prepare Inventory of Resources (Rescue equipment, medical equipment for

emergencies, ambulances, hospitals, NGOs and disaster management related material
and personnel

• All the resources available in the building need to be listed out like: Fire Control System,
Sensors.

Mock drills are conducted to train building occupant and to test the various elements of your
response plan in order to evaluate and revise it. During a disaster, life-protecting actions must
be taken immediately. There will not be time to decide what to do next; everyone must already
know how to react appropriately. After a disaster, further life protecting actions such as
emergency evacuation or first aid administration may be necessary. Drills and exercises are an
extremely important part of the preparedness plan because they
• Teach the occupants of a building how to respond to the complications of an actual
disaster
• Helps to evaluate how well all parts of the emergency plan work together and how well
the occupants have been trained

• Portable Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers are intended as a first line of defense to cope with fires of a
limited size. They are needed even if the property is equipped with automatic sprinklers,
standpipe and hose, or other fixed protection equipment. The fire protection guidelines are
general in nature and are not intended to abrogate specific requirements of other codes
and/or policies and procedures. The following general rules apply to most facilities:
o A fire extinguisher must be within 75 feet travel distance to any area of a building (does
not have to be in a room). Travel distance cannot include stairs, steps, or locked doors
o Fire extinguishers must be of the appropriate type for the area. For this reason, fire
extinguishers must be removed, relocated, purchased, serviced, and installed by the
building’s fire equipment technicians

Avoid getting entrapped in the cloud vapor
o Water sprays should be used to disperse the vapor cloud
o Warn the surrounding areas to put off all naked flames

➢ Power Failures
Failure of electrical power to building will have a serious impact on its operations,
particularly if the failure occurs during normal operating hours when the building is fully
occupied. A power failure may be a brownout (a partial reduction in service) or a total
blackout.

Power failure can be caused either by man-made or natural events. Man- made causes may
include drivers who collide with utility poles or power transformers, human error in
operating equipment within the building or outside it (such as at the utility company
supplying the power), or malicious tampering. Natural events include storms, floods, and
earthquakes.

Power failures also can cause computer memory loss and equipment damage. If the power
loss is anticipated, computers and computer systems can be shut down before it occurs. If
no prior notice is received, the equipment should still be turned off as quickly as possible to
avoid potential serious damage to the electrical system from the sudden surge of power
when it is first restored. Computer systems, particularly mainframes, often are equipped
with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS); and personal computers often are equipped
with surge protectors to reduce the chance of damage when power fluctuates, surges, or is
lost.

Buildings have emergency and standby power systems to provide safety and comfort to
building occupants during interruptions in their normal power supply. These systems also
provide power to operate building communication systems and to provide a minimum
number of elevator functions. Both functions are critical to buildings during power failures.

• Power failure backup

36
 Emergency power systems are a type of system, which may include lighting, generators, fuel
cells and other apparatus, to provide backup power resources in a crisis or when regular
systems fail. Emergency power systems can rely on generators, deep cycle batteries, and
flywheel energy storage or hydrogen fuel cells.

• Emergency Power Backup:

For rehab Building 4 DG set of capacity 63 KVA, 320 KVA, 500 KVA & 40 KVA will provide
and for Sale Building 2 DG set of capacity 630 KVA will provided. The diesel generator will
backup common area lighting, lobbies, staircase & lifts etc. Emergency backup for the
(Common loads, Environmental management facilities) essential load will be provided.
The generating capacity to be installed will provide Essential power requirements of all
systems/services. Auto Mains Failure (AMF) scheme is proposed for DG Sets.
• Notes:
Ratings of D.G. sets will be reviewed after finalization of all designs and before inviting
tenders.
It is proposed to install emergency backup only for Essential loads using Diesel Generating
Sets for supply of power when mains power is not available.
• Maintenance of the DG:
The vendor will provide the AMC for 3-5 Years as a part of contract. On expiration, the AMC
will be renewed on annual basis.

• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

An uninterruptible power supply, also uninterruptible power source, UPS or
battery/flywheel backup is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load
when the input power source, typically the utility mains, fails. A UPS differs from an
auxiliary or emergency power system or standby generator in that it will provide
instantaneous or near-instantaneous protection from input. This will be used to backup
important server and computer system.

c) Display evacuation plan in times of disaster

➢ Evacuation
• Stay calm; do not rush or panic
• Safely stop your work
• If safe, gather your personal belongings; take prescribed medications with you
• If safe, close doors and window but do not lock them
• If in parking lot, immediately park your car so that the access to other vehicles as well as
people are not hampered and proceed to the nearest exit by staircase or as guided.
• Location of all exit corridors, exit stairs and exit serving the building would be marked
and provided during commissioning stage.
• An evacuation team consisting of building management, the building Facility Manager,
security, Security In-charge, and floor response personnel should be organized and
trained. This should be coordinated with all building tenants and designed in
conjunction with developing the bomb incident plan. The team will be trained in how to
evacuate the building during a bomb threat. The order in which to evacuate—for
instance, by floor level should be established.
• Evacuate the floor levels above and below the danger area to remove occupants from
danger as quickly as possible. Training in such an evacuation usually is made available
by building management, with advice supplied by local law enforcement and the fire
department.
• The evacuation team also may be trained in search techniques, or there may be a
separate search team. Volunteers should be sought for this function; however, Security
In-charge, search monitors, and the like could be assigned to the task. To be proficient in
searching the building, search personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all hallways,

37
 restrooms, false ceiling areas, and other locations in the building where an explosive or
incendiary device could be concealed. Thus it is extremely important for the evacuation
or search team to be thoroughly trained and familiar with both the inside of the building
and immediate outside areas. When a room or particular area has been searched, it
should be marked or sealed with a piece of tape and reported as clear to the appropriate
supervisor.
• The team will be trained only in evacuation and search techniques and not in the
techniques of neutralizing, removing, or otherwise having contact with the device. If a
device is located, it should not be disturbed. However, its location should be well
marked and the route to it noted

• Fire Engine Access Movement

The site layout & Fire Engine Movement has been shown, for the site.
An adequate space has been provided to escape and access for fire-fighting equipment and
vehicle.

• Demonstration/ Civil Disturbance Procedures

Most demonstrations are peaceful and if one is conducted near or in your building, carry
on work as usual. Avoid provoking or obstructing demonstrators. Should a disturbance
occur, call Police for assistance.
If protestors enter your building, let them. Try to carry on work as usual. If the noise
becomes too loud, or the crowd too large, feel free to close and lock your podium gate–
this decision needs to be taken by society manager or managing committee of society in
conjunction with local police authority only. Proceed to the EAA and wait for additional
instructions.

d) Prepare and disseminate pamphlets on each disaster for occupants covering Do’s
and Dot’s for each type of disaster
• Do’s &don’t in Flood/earthquake /fire are given in Standard Operation Procedure
attached to DMP.

e) On-Site Disaster during Operation Phase

a) Site disaster manager to take charge and give guidance over public address system
• Facility Manager will take charge and give guidance over public address system during
operation phase from Fire control room.

f) Call for outside assistance of fire brigade, Hospitals, ambulances

g) Networks with state, district and ward level control rooms

• The response structure given in the ward plan essentially limits itself to micro-level
intervention. When more than one ward is affected, Mumbai Metro Region. Control
room which is the co-ordinating authority, would expect the ward officers to co-
ordinate the activities at the ward level with the line agencies such as Fire Brigade,
Police etc. The responsibilities for all the ward level functionaries have been identified
by Mumbai Metro Region.

h) Ensure adequate warning before switching off power

• All announcements will be done with good quality equipment’s.
• Switching off power will be done only after having current status of the all building
facilities from concern In-charge.

38
 • With the help of CCTV camera will confirm that if any trapped in basement & lift
during the disaster
• Parking In-Charge and lift man will ensure that no occupants are trapped inside the
building and Security In-charge will confirm with Parking In-Charge and lift man
• Emergency Electrical switch is at the meter room will be operated by only
authorized person under instruction of Security In-charge

i) Assure occupants of continuous communication and take all, measures to keep up

their morale
• Periodical mock drill will be arranged by the Facility Manager / Security In-charge
• Through training & info will be given to occupants about the available rescue sources,
rescue plans
• Assurance will be given to occupants that evacuation will be done by trained
volunteers, so occupants will be trained that how to co-operate with volunteer during
disaster

j) Guide occupants on the steps being taken for evacuation in systematic manner

• This requirement will be handled by dedicated trained volunteers

• In case lift power supply is shutdown all the lifts will stop at floor level and door will
automatically open.

Procedures for people during emergencies:

• By law building occupant may be required to evacuate when the fire alarm is raised
• For floors beyond 10, evacuation has to be done to the nearest refuge area through
staircase exit only
• The floor diagram will be provided to every floor which can show the entry and exit
during evacuation
• Proper sign showing the exit route, Primary evacuation routes leading to the
designated assembly point (solid lines) would be provided
• Use the nearest stairs and proceed to the nearest exit. Do not use the elevator
• If in parking lot, immediately park your car so that the access to other vehicles as
well as people are not hampered and proceed to the nearest exit by staircase or as
guided
• Duck under the nearest sturdy object and hold onto it until tremors stops. If you are
not near a sturdy object, make yourself as small as possible and cover your head and
neck when earthquakes occur.
• In case of fire, move away from fire and smoke. Close doors and windows if time
permits. Touch closed doors. Do not open them if they are hot

Procedures for people with disabilities during emergencies:

In all emergencies, after an evacuation has been ordered:
• Evacuate people with disabilities if possible
• Do not use elevators, unless authorized to do so by police or fire personnel.
Elevators could fail during a fire or a major earthquake
• Check on people with special needs during an evacuation. A "buddy system", where
people with disabilities arrange for volunteers (neighbors) to alert them and assist
them in an emergency, is a good method
• Attempt a rescue evacuation ONLY if you have had rescue training or the person is in
immediate danger and cannot wait for professional assistance
• Always ask someone with a disability how you can help BEFORE attempting any
rescue technique or giving assistance. Ask how he or she can best be assisted or

39
 moved, and whether there are any special considerations or items that need to come
with the person

k) Take steps to reduce/ eliminate panic
