Dear Bureaucrats, Ministers, laymen, social workers, and all those players who a part and parcel of Disaster Management etc,
As per our Goan fellow Mr. Vivian D'Sousa who tells us how this disaster management can be tackled in India or in Goa itself and there was no need someone to catch the flight and go to Brazil or elsewhere to learn this management and skills. Please read Vivian text below, and it is very simple to achieve the goal. No need for a rock scientist either, to explain this phenomenon of learning methods and skills for management and organisation technique etc. Thank you, Vivian as an expert in this field and if required may be our Govt of Goa can take your help and present some lecturers or a seminar in this field which will help this state bureaucrats to deal with any disaster provided finances are available with the Government. Can Chief Secretary coordinate with him and find a programme for all these people who could not go to Brazil for a junket study tour and of course others in the field.

DSouza" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Goanet] {Goanet] Disaster Management training Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I have attended several mock drills for disaster management in the USA,, and dont believe an expensive foreign junket is needed to implement a disaster management plan in Goa. Agencies like the Police, Fire Brigade, Health Services need to identify an individual within their department to meet with his/her counterparts. A Safety and Disaster Management position needs to be established, to conduct regular meetings and to conduct mock drills. The rest is plain commensense. Mock drills with persons designated to evaluate the response to the situation are essential to pinpoint weaknesses in response, communication etc. etc. Situations that can be simulated include, collapsing building, floods, cyclones, major fires, train crashes or de-railments, plane crashes factory disasters, etc. Each situation may need a different response. In large scale situations such as floods, public buildings such as schools need to be identified all over Goa to serve as temporary housing, food preparation and delivery to people deisplaced by the emergency needs to be discussed and planned in case of emergencies, response by medical personnel, ambulances,, fire brigade etc. All commonsense. Responses to specific situations can be discussed in brainstorming sessions conducted by the Safety and Disaster Management official.
