Epidemics
Landslides
Specific demands raised or required
Rescue and relief teams must be alert to the possibility of outbreak of epidemics and
therefore ensure standards of services with respect to storage, cooking, and handling of
food materials as also disposal of waste in relief camps, medical centres and feeding
centres.
Water-quality monitoring mechanisms will have to be set-up to prevent outbreak of
epidemics.
Damage to road access due to landslides needs immediate clearing and PWD has to keep
itself prepared for such an eventuality.
Settlements on the hill-slope prone to landslides need to be shifted to safer places.
