Immediate steps to be
taken after the hit of cyclone:
- Make sufficient stock
of foodgrains or food packets, kerosene lanterns and other dry food
commodities are available for distribution to the victims.
- A large number of people
are likely to become homeless as their houses may wash away or get
destroyed Hence make arrangements for proper shelter material such
as Talpatris, Tents, Water, Blankets, Utensils, etc
- Medicines ( Painkiller,
Surgical cotton and Bandage Materails, Orthopedic Materail etc.) Dry
cell Batteries / Torches, Solar operated Equipments such as Lights,
Pumps & other related equipments etc
- Medical and Veterinary
Departments should be fully equipped with required Drugs and Vaccines
for taking preventive steps after cyclone and to arrest the spread
of epidemics.
- All the Government vehicles
should be kept in road-worthy condition for putting them to use in
the emrgency.
- Power failure is likely
to occur in affected areas hence a list of generators available with
the Cinema Theatres and other undertakings should be maintained by
the Officials of State Electricity Board and advance action taken
immediately to procure them when necessity arises. Electricity Board
should clear the roads of fallen electric poles and restore power
supply as quickly as possible.
- Communications facilities
are likely to get disrupted, (both land and telecommunications) hence
make immediate arrangements for satellite phones, mobile phones, etc.
- Spare Road Market Stores,
Steel poles, Bamboos, G.C. Sheets, and Slotted Stripes of metal (to
be laid on chured up road surface for better transportation).
- Double handle shows (for
cutting fallen trees), Shovels, Candles, Land Hailers, Hose pipes,
first aid kits, cyclone duty sign Boards, Rodes, Asbestos, Sheets,
Torch lights, Detty, cans, empty oil drums, gunny bags and sand bags,
polythene bags, (for dropping supplies), buckets, V.H.E. sets with
batteries for use
- Fodders, pumps for bailing
out water alongwith hose spedes, crow bars, hard gloves, Eucalyptus
oil, napathalene balls, bamboo mats, phenyle slate line, etc., useful
for burying dead bodies.
Method for distribution
of the short term requirements:
It is suggested that 'Cyclone stores' should be opened if possible in
each and every village or in various Talukas for distributing the relief
material to the respective villagers of that village. The person incharge
in the respective stores should immediately report the NGO's or Government
officials for the emergency requirements.
