7.7 Epidemics<br />

7.7.1 Planning Assumptions<br />

Section VII : Response Structure<br />

The existing water quality monitoring and vector control programmes reduces the<br />

possibility of spread of epidemics to a considerable extent.<br />

Efficient response from pathological and testing laboratories helps in early diagnosis of<br />

the possible epidemic.<br />

7.7.2 Lead Agencies<br />

The revenue and health department including the medical service is the main agency<br />

involved in <strong>disaster</strong> <strong>management</strong> during epidemics.<br />

In the case of epidemics accompanying floods the water supply and sanitation<br />

department, MWSSB and irrigation department are the support agencies<br />

Apart from these support services, assistance is also sought from the police and home<br />

guards, public works department, state transport and the media.<br />
