Abstract

Appropriate and fast response to the emergency is the most important aspect of disaster management. Gharda Institute of Technology (GIT) is situated near Chiplun, Maharashtra, India. The predominant natural disasters which are frequent in the nearby vicinity like floods and water logging are not seen in the institute area due to its elevation above sea level. The possible disasters are chemical spillage, fire, and snake related issues (snake bite). Periodic mock drills and demo sessions are conducted for preparedness related to these disasters. The snake bite injections are made available at the nearby hospital. The disaster management cell of GIT has handled the COVID-19 situation with appropriate precaution. The cell conducts frequent checks on the preparedness of the concern taskforce to combat any untoward incident. The display of contact numbers of hospital, police, district level authorities brings about the safe feeling among the students and staff.
