A THOUGHT……..

Disaster defined as per Rly. Bd’s recent letter of Jan ‘09
Railway disaster is a serious train accident or an
untoward event of grave nature either on the railway
premises or arising out of railway activity in that area
due to natural or man made causes that may lead to loss
of many lives and/or grievous injuries to a large number
of people and/or severe disruption of traffic necessitating
large scale help from other Government/Non-

communities, cities, villages or railway passengers.
• Risk is a measure of the expected losses due to a
hazardous event of a particular magnitude occurring in
a given area over a specific time period.

• Enough access to those affected for human dimension of the tragedy.
• Timely notification of next-of-kin.
• Timely sharing of emerging facts and developing stories.

HANDLING THE MEDIA - Basic rules
• BE FIRST — Primary rule of crisis
communications is to BE FIRST - rather than
simply react to media queries/requests.
• CO-OPERATE WITH THE MEDIA — In times of
crisis, lack of cooperation sends reporters and
editors to seek other sources usually less
knowledgeable and one-sided
