BRACING FOR CRISES
Sukhada Tatke I TNN
Mumbai: Close on the heels of the Malabar Hill Residents' Association training members in disaster preparedness, residents of Nariman Point and Churchgate too decided to do the same in their area. After setting up a committee, Nariman Point and Churchgate Citizens' Association (NPCCA) drew up a disaster management plan through which it has decided to hold regular programmes to train and equip its members in facing disasters.
The committee will meet once every month and conduct a periodic review of the progress of activities undertaken by them. "We will invite experts to conduct training in areas of fire-fighting, first aid and trauma handling. A list of agencies to report and take assistance from, will also be made. We will work closely with government and service agencies,'' said Swarn Kohli president of NPCCA. Joint municipal commissioner S S Shinde said that the civic corporation is working towards an early warning system. "This will give disaster news at public places and through messages,'' he said.
