What is a Disaster?WHO defines Disaster as an occurrence that causes damage,economic disruption, loss of life and deterioration of health andhealth services on a sufficient scale to warrant an extraordinaryresponse from outside the affected community of area of effect.
Disasters happen when the forces of a hazard (an extremedisruptive event) impact on vulnerabilities (physical & socio-economic) and overwhelm the ability of the affected community tocope on its own.
Disaster = Hazard X Vulnerability
---------------------------------
Community Coping Capacity
Remember not all communities are at risk of every type of disaster, but every community is at risk of some particular disaster.

Resource mapping at village/GPlevel
Health workers ( ANM/MPW(M)/Village health nurse) at village/GPlevel can play vital role in health resource management duringemergency with active involvement of community. They should beinvolved in -Development of the Village health plan / village contingency planand formation of village level task force for different activities withactive participation of local community and volunteers.Mapping the infrastructure facility (School/Community centres/villagelibrary etc)Listing out the Drug Distribution Centre, Fever Treatment Depot,CBO health facilities, if any.Maintaining the stock of the health inventories and supplies and
putting request to the PHC if there is a difference between demandand supply.Preparing a roster of trained health personnel in the village/GP andits catchment area who can provide /facilitate the health services inemergency.Listing out the drinking water sources in the area

Resource mapping at village/GPlevel cont.
Maintaining and updating the data bases of important telephone andmobile numbers Ambulance, Police, health centres, PWDs and also theofficials who can be immediately contacted in disaster.Listing out the communication facilities available in the village/GP -personal vehicles, Auto , trucks, minibuses, motor cycles etc.Ensuring that in the catchment area each village has its contingencyfund.Ensuring that village community are trained in early warning system. Preparing the database of the vulnerable population i.e. women, children,elderly, pregnant ladies, disable persons and people required specialneed .Sensitize the community about their vulnerability and inform them aboutthe health care facilities available at the sub centre and nearby healthcenter. Disseminate the health message, distribute IEC/educational leafleton dos and dont during disasters. NB: The community have the ability to cope up with the disaster to some
extent till the external assistance reaches them. - Making them awareabout their vulnerability and building their capacity are crucial fordisaster management and resource mobilization.

Coordination for resource mobilization
Health relief assistance should be made available inconsultation with designated officials coordinatinghealth-related humanitarian assistance.
Observe procedures for communication,coordination, and supervision established byauthorities.
Needs-assessment must be carried out promptly bynational health/state authorities to mobilize theresource.
GIS mapping of the health resources need to bemade available for effective resource mobilisation.(This need to be done before hand)

Priority Area:Capacity Development in the health sectoris a priority area.
Disasters can only be tackled in anappropriate way if there is an adequateavailability of skilled manpower supported
by essential material logistics andinfrastructures

Capacity Development a Priority
Area: Cont Human Resource:
There is shortage of anesthetists, neurosurgeons,psychiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons,
doctors, nurses, paramedics and technicians.
Gap in human resources are much more profound in
district/ taluka/and community health care hospitals
For mass casualty management mobilization of humanresource from neighboring districts/states/centredepending upon the magnitude is the preferred strategy.

37/39
Capacity Development a Priority
Area: Cont Material Logistics: State run hospitals have limited medical supplies and thereis no stockpile for surge capacity.
There is a need to strengthen medical inventory and supplychain management.
The national medical resource inventory needs to benetworked with various state medical inventories.
Newly created districts need appropriate health carefacilities.
The health care facilities at district levels need up gradation.

38/39
Capacity Development a Priority
Area: Cont Training and Education:
Need to evolve the training module and educationcurriculum for up gradation of mass casualtymanagement skills for doctors, nurses paramedicsat district levels, on basic and advanced life-supportsystems.Need to evolve standardized training modules fordifferent medical responders/community members atthe vulnerable areas.Education about the basic medical practices formanagement of mass casualties is required to bedeveloped at school and college level.Regular mock exercises are required to beconducted at the hospitals at least twice a year.

Capacity Development a Priority
Area: Cont Community Preparedness:
Community members are usually firstresponders, though their effectiveness becomelimited during disaster situations due to lack ofknowledge.Community education and awareness aboutvarious disasters and lists of Dos and Donts .
NGOs and Private Voluntaryorganisations(PVOs) need to be involved incommunity education and sensitization.Conducting regular mock exercises fordeveloping resilience in the community.
