The non-governmental organisations and voluntary agencies play an important role in disaster management and provide a strong band of committed volunteers with experience in managing the disasters. Their strength lies in the choice of their manpower, the informality in operations and flexibility in procedures. These organisations enjoy a fair degree of autonomy and hence can respond to changing needs immediately.

However, in order to maintain uniformity in operations and effective co-ordination, it is desirable that they follow the standards of services (as given in the Guidelines), information exchange and reporting so as to enable the Ward Officer to have a total picture of resource availability, disbursements and requirements. NGOs therefore will be assigned specific tasks by the Ward Officer to undertake relief work within the overall institutional framework. As and where possible, NGOs may also be able to improve the quality of delivery of services.

Specific activities in which NGOs/Private Sector can be involved during disaster management operations are :

Search and rescue operations

Information dissemination

First aid

Disposal of dead

Damage assessment

Management of information centres at temporary shelters

Mobilisation and distribution of relief supplies including finances

Manpower for community mobilisation, crowd control, rumour control, traffic management

Consultations and dialogues expressly indicating the need for assistance would encourage the community and its leaders to come forward.

Regular feedback meetings and an open book approach to demonstrate transparency.

Involving community in decision making at local levels

During Evacuation 

seriously injured and sick

children, women and handicapped

Old

Able-bodied

Secure their homes/establishments. Close and lock doors and windows.

Turn off the main water valve and electricity

Leave early enough to avoid being trapped.

Follow recommended evacuation routes. Not to take shortcuts. They may be dangerous.

Not to move into flooded areas because the authorities may have removed the manholes for efficient drainage and the indicators may get shifted due to water currents.

Stay away from downed power lines.

Community leaders could be given the responsibility for ensuring the following community behaviour :

People stay calm and panic behaviour is not encouraged. Regulate helter-skelter running or crowding of people.

Encourage people to stay at a secured place and protect themselves from injuries.

People do not enter damaged buildings or structures

People do not touch electric poles, utility wires/cables

People do not use telephones except in life-threatening situations

Preparedness of community for recurrence of the disaster, increase in severity, or consequential emergencies

Check for injuries. Do not attempt to move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of death or further injury.

Help police, if requested, to maintain law and order and watch the evacuated property during the disaster
