Depending on the extent of exposures or the extent of the efforts required to contain the danger, the
situation can be classified as on-site emergency or off-site emergency.
On-site Emergency: An on-site emergency is an emergency, which is contained within plant boundary

action & the authorities designated by the district disaster control plan have to take action like
