 V.CHECK LIST IN CASE OF NATURAL CALAMITY

In case of natural calamity following things to be

considered BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE SPOT.

1. Inform to your higher officials ie ADAH, RJD, ADIU and concerned line department
like Revenue, Police, PWD, local bodies, Rural department, service organizations
nearby and control room if any regarding the issue.

2. Assess the damages involved (death of animals), number of ailing animals present
and the scenario prevailing in the spot by means of your contact person if any.

3. Persons nearer to the spot should be informed first to reach the spot to carry over
first aid and to get the actual situation.

4. Arrange for mobilization of vehicles that are readily available by informing your
authorities.

5. Make a list of persons required to you (cadre wise) and inform them immediately
regarding the time and venue in which all should gather with necessary materials
(list them) available with them.

6. Assess the no of persons required for treating the ailing animals and making post
mortem of carcasses and for documenting purpose (ie treatment, PM findings,
no of ailing animals, no of animals dead).

7. Assess & expect the things that are necessary for TREATMENT: Life saving drugs,
steroids, adrenaline, atropine, anticoagulant, fluids, IV set, anti histaminic, anti stress
agents, cotton, soap, towel, bandage cloth, POP, antiseptics, anesthetics
(general & local) etc.,

SURGICALS: Artery forceps, suture needles, threads, cat gut, scissors, forceps,
BP handle, BP blades etc.,

FOR PM: PM set, head caps, note pads, face masks, gloves (arm and full arm),
aprons, hand sanitizers, disinfectants, formalin, slides, cover slips, specimen
bottles etc.,

 8. First of all try to send the first team available with available resources.
9. Make arrangements for the next team to follow them
10. Make arrangements to carry / mobilize ailing animals, dead carcasses to one place
11. Select an area to make a pit to dispose the carcasses
12. Consider for arranging drinking water, food & stay depending upon the duration
at least get the information where it is available

Consider the following things while you are the

FIRST PERSON TO REACH THE SPOT
1. Inform the Team Leader regarding the exact place of incidence and the route to
approach the place
2. Make a team of volunteer at the spot especially of any social organizations
3. The Team Leader should arrange for helper team, should act as departmental and
inter departmental coordinator and to coordinate the entire work process
4. Two teams should be immediately formed. Treatment Team and Fact Finding
(Post Mortem) Team.
5. Persons accompanying treatment team should segregate the patients depending
upon the seriousness of their illness viz emergency, moderate and less moderate.
Those animals that need emergency care should be attended immediately and if
necessary shift them to your hospital/dispensary and document the process
6. Fact finding team should perform the PM examination, should find out an ideal place
for disposal pit, to dispose the animals, to monitor the proper sanitary procedures,
to document all the procedures and finally to hand over all the collected data to the
concerned person (VAS) through Team Leader.
7. Don't be panic throughout the work
8. Avoid loose talk in front of other department personnel and public. Ask the Team
Leader to communicate.
