FOREWORD

1. This Edition of “Disaster Management Plan” brought out by the Safety
Department of Pune Division is an improved edition over earlier edition of
2010 as it covers areas not included in earlier editions. Efforts have been
put in to collect and compile District wise information in coordination and
consultation with various organizations of State/District Autorities, Army,
NGOs etc with Rail cum road map which is very useful and hence
praiseworthy.
2. This plan for Disaster management aims to include all the requirements of
Railways by identifying specific duties of officers and staff of all concerned
departments. Though one never wishes to have disaster, one can never rule
out the possibility in an organization like Railways and hence has to be ready
for any eventuality.
3. The expectations of people in the present day circumstances have grown and
anything short of quick relief, rescue and restoration activity by well
established organization like Railways raises several eyebrows and attracts
criticism in print and visual media.
Hence we must endeavour to adhere to certain planned activities as stated in
this book
4. All officers and staff must familiarize themselves with the guidelines included
in the plan.
