Chemical accident triggers: Few examples : 

Chemical accident triggers: Few examples Process or storage system failures Instantaneous bulk release of pollutants/contaminant Mass release from natural source Spillage from hazardous waste Spillage / release during transport or shipping Natural calamities, e.g. earthquake, flooding, landslide, etc. Terrorist attacks/Sabotage Mass poisoning (intentional or unintentional)

Chemical Disaster: Impacts : 

Chemical Disaster: Impacts

Functions of Chemical Disaster Reduction : 

Functions of Chemical Disaster Reduction

Environmental systems analysis, modeling and scenario simulation employ tools: : 

Environmental systems analysis, modeling and scenario simulation employ tools: Atmospheric release: Dispersion, plume and concentration models Ground release: Geo-hydrodynamic models, Liquid Flow models, Two-phase flow models Release in water: Steam-flow models, 1-D and 2-D models for diffusion and dilution Risk-contour development and Land-use models: GIS software Consequence modeling Risk Information system and communication tools GIS based emergency simulation, lay-out and land-use, emergency planning, response and resource management

Capacity components : 

Capacity components Resources Strategic and guiding Non-structural and intellectual Structural and material Systemic and functional Human and skill power Motivational Insurance Levees/taxes Incentives/bonus Awards/promotional Facilitation Deliveries/performance Knowledge Skills Attitude

Strategic Resources : 

Strategic Resources Laws: Regulations/Acts Plan: National, State, District & Local Plans Strategic Tools: e.g. EIA, Environment Audit, LCA, Ecological Footprint, CIA, SEA, RA, Safety Audit, Medical Surveillance Environmental information – database management Forecasting, early warning and dissemination system Scientific and technological research and resource support system

Non-structural : 

Non-structural Land-use codes/guidelines and enforcement Knowledge based decisions and awareness Building by-laws Codes/standards Region specific DRR strategies considering environmental risks DM integration into development HRV Atlas and Risk Indicator based categorization

Structural and material : 

Structural and material Environmental system analysis/ Modeling facility Research & Training Institute/Centre with equipment GIS Application facility Safety Museum and Demonstration Facility Control room facility HAZMAT facilities Mitigation (structural and non-structural) resources Response resources (create, mobilize, organize/pool)

Systemic & Functional : 

Systemic & Functional Designated responsible Deptt./officers for specific jobs System for documentation and records Defined time frames for activities Defined and practicable SoPs for various tasks Knowledge sharing protocols Institutional mechanism and coordination framework

Human & Skill Power : 

Human & Skill Power Professionals e.g. assessments, audits, planning, designs, monitoring, concept development, training, etc. Execution/coordinate of the tasks: planning, training, mock-drills, monitoring, etc. Administrative support functions – logistics, finance, ministerial, etc.

Departmental Cases : 

Departmental Cases Deptt. of Factories/Health & Safety – Shortage of staff Lack of infrastructure Lack of coordination with environment & other departments, e.g. industry, medical, education, Revenue, etc. Lack of familiarity on recent developments, e.g. GIS application, DDMP, District level ICS, Web-enabled system Less knowledge about environmental risks and natural factors leading to industrial disasters Poor/no training facility at District/Division level

Deptt. of Environment - : 

Deptt. of Environment - Job definitions not adequately addressing safety / disaster risks Less focus on prevention through land-use plans and proper siting of industries: post-operation compliance main priority Safety a non-routine issue/ out of direct mandate Lack of coordination with factories/H&S, & other departments, e.g. industry, medical, education, Revenue, etc. Less familiarity on recent developments, e.g. GIS application, DDMP, District level ICS, Web-enabled system Less knowledge about disasters leading to environmental damages and pollution, and vice-versa: e.g. floods leading to pollution, etc. No designated “Disaster Management Cell” in State Deptt./ Boards (except in few, e.g. MP) even at CPCB, although all disasters originating in the environmental and affecting environmental resources, values, properties Poor/no training facility at State/District/Division level Poor economic valuation of environmental losses

State/District Administration – : 

State/District Administration – Lack of physically existing & functional DMA with integration of CCG (especially at district/local) Lack of central functional point of safety, environment, health and industry department on regular basis Poor-involvement of scientific/line departments in formulation of DMPs Poor exposure/understanding and lack of interest of revenue department (which deals the subject of disasters) on issues related to environmental risks, chemical disasters and likely impacts/losses due to technicality of the subject

Other- Police/Medical: : 

Other- Police/Medical: Involvement of Police, Transport, Medical Departments at strategic and planning level Strengthening of forensic laboratories for assessment of hazardous materials incidents Integration of forensic laboratories and experts with Environmental Department/ Disaster Management for post-incident cause analysis Poor training of Police on Hazmat identification and emergency requirements Medical departments rarely addressing pre-disaster medical surveillance and/or disaster preparedness at local levels
