Disaster Management Committee

The Riwar College Disaster Management Committee’s primary responsibility is to develop and maintain an effective disaster management plan that outlines procedures for responding to various types of emergencies, such as natural disasters, fires, medical emergencies, and other crises that may arise on campus. Keeping this in mind, the College constituted the Disaster Management Committee to create a culture of disaster preparedness among the staffs and students of the college.

The disaster management committee should establish protocols for communication, evacuation, sheltering in place, and medical response in the event of a disaster. The committee should also ensure that all members of the college community are aware of the plan, and they should conduct regular drills to practice implementing the plan.

Additionally, the committee should identify potential hazards on campus and take measures to mitigate them. For example, they may conduct safety inspections of buildings and grounds to identify potential safety hazards and take steps to address them.

Overall, a disaster management committee plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of the college community during emergencies and disasters.
