Title

Need for an Emergency Operation Centre in Surat city

Abstract

A rapidly growing industrial metropolitan of Surat is prone to many natural and human-made disasters like floods, earthquake, chemical incidents, war, stampede and so on. Such events lead to frequent loss of lives as well as infrastructural facilities. To prevent such injuries and damages, the central government is advocating for local governments to act proactively and establish emergency operation centre in many cities. It also is developing capacities for preparation of strategies and disaster management plans at various tiers of administration. The prime focus is leveraged for being prepared during emergencies to gather information, develop and use of decision-making tools and centrally direct necessary actions that require close coordination among government officials. An Emergency Operation Center (EOC) is a centralised location where response agency leaders meet to coordinate the response to an emergency or a disaster. An EOC and its sub-centres can be planned by the intensity of the disaster that can occur in the particular area. EOC consists of many components, and there are several levels. The size of the EOC may differ according to a size of the response system required. It acts as a critical component of emergency management (EM). The primary goal for an EOC may be summarised as to coordinate for ‘community continuity', in other words, help communities remain resilient in the face of disaster events. Current work is proposing an assessment of vulnerability and possibilities of various hazards in Surat. Based on analysis a suitable location will be identified along with design proposal for an EOC.
