“Disaster management plan effective”
The disaster management plan being implemented across the country has
been effective in putting in place appropriate precautionary measures,
said Maj. Gen. V.K. Datta, advisor to the National Disaster Management
Authority.
Addressing officials of various departments here on Wednesday, he said all departments should be fully prepared to meet any eventuality.
Boats should be kept ready for shifting people from water-logged and marooned areas. A coordinated effort by various departments should be evolved and implemented.
S. Palanisamy, Collector, said cyclone relief centres had been readied at eight centres. Disaster warning equipment has been set up at all 54 coastal villages in the district. The warning signals would give advance intimation to villagers about cyclone, floods and other natural calamity.
A tool-free round-the-clock service with telephone number 1077 has been set up at the Collector office to receive any information about disaster and for taking immediate remedial action.
Abhinav Kumar, Superintendent of Police, A. Benjamin Babu, District Revenue Officer, were among those who participated.
