These specific tasks could be combined with an array of new innovations that are taking place in the field of disaster management. We must remember that disaster management is an ‘art’ that turns into ‘science’ during catastrophes. With the right dose of technology, it could turn into ‘science’ even at the policy formulation level. New Developments and Innovations The advancement in science and technology could be used with advantage for speedy long-term recovery. Certain developments in the recent past could be regarded as much needed steps in the right direction: i) NDMA in collaboration with JPN Apex Trauma Centre AIIMS, New Delhi has started training of doctors for Advance Trauma Life Support Source: Innovation Policy/scienceprogress.org (ATLS) courses. These courses are standardized and collaborated with American Surgeon Association Training Module, which is being practiced in 13 other countries. So far, 27 courses have been conducted, training 810 doctors throughout the country. Source: NDMA Photo Gallery ii) Since it would neither be possible nor advisable to assess the vulnerability of each house/ infrastructure in different regions of the country, a “technical template” is being formulated classifying the buildings/ infrastructures into certain categories that would be amenable to evaluation of their damage patterns due to different hazards of various magnitudes. Preparation of “Building Typology Template” has been finalized by the NDMA, which needs to be standardized to take care of the variations in the residential buildings in different regions in the country. iii) iv) NDMA has proposed to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) based National Disaster Management Information System (NDMIS), where the data collected from different nodal agencies will be utilized along with detailed GIS and Decision Support System (DSS) for generation of very sophisticated actionable information for all the stakeholders at various levels by involving the domain experts from the scientific and technological community of the nation. GIS Platform with DSS will host the core database as well as disaster specific database for carrying out Vulnerability Analysis and Risk Assessment that are essential to enforce holistic and pro-active management of disasters in contrast to the response centric approach. A major initiative in the field of Disaster Response Training has been the publication of a ‘Training Regime Report on Disaster Response’, by a Committee set up in the NDMA. This 72
