8. Following sequence of action is recommended while seeking help
Section X: Plan Dissemination
• First Deploy internal resources.
• Inform civic Fire Brigade and get their assistance. Inform the Statutory Authorities, keep
appropriate MARG member in your zone/neighbourhood alerted about the emergency.
• If found necessary request help from the MARG member to control specific situation for
which it has got equipment and expertise.
• Convey clearly what you want, expertise, equipment or both and exact nature of need.
• Keep other MARG member in your zone alerted to render any further assistance, if the
situation so demands.
General :
• Each organisation is primarily responsible for keeping its plants in safe conditions,
identifying, assessing, minimising and eliminating hazards and risk, maintaining
necessary equipment for special kinds of risks that the organisation might be facing and
training its personnel for emergency response and control.
• It may seek help from others in the MARG by way of equipment, expertise and special
materials, but this is only complementary to its own arrangements and commitment to
safety and emergency control.
• Mutual Aid and Response is sought only when your own efforts seems to be inadequate
to meet the demand of the situation and that of civic response group is either not adequate
or enough.
