Section VII : Response Structure
Care needs to be taken to ensure that all electrical supplies to damaged area are
disconnected promptly by MSEB.
Underground cables need thorough inspection before power is restored.
Breaches or cracks in the dam need Irrigation Department to secure the breaches or
grouting the cracks.
In case of damage to bridges, relief operations may require temporary bridges which
can be put up with the assistance of army.
Certain roads needing resurfacing will need immediate action from PWD.
MWSSB in consultations with health authorities should restore existing water supply
with necessary repairs. This may call for replacement of pipelines or arrangements for
storage in portable PVC water tanks.
In some cases, restoration of existing water supply may be time-consuming and
therefore water tankers may have to be pressed into service.
Identification of nearby water sources and checking water’s potability may also be
required.
Damage to sewer lines is to be looked into. Alternate arrangements by way of
temporary latrines (technical details given on Pg. No ) may have to be constructed.
Extensive damage to residential buildings resulting in disruption of
telecommunication facilities requires provision/installation of public telephones
(PCO) to facilitate communication.
Damage to hospital, school buildings and other public facilities may disrupt the
services. In such a case restoration of services through temporary arrangements is the
first priority.
PWD may have to take repairs or reconstruction of such public facilities on a priority
basis.
