Civilian Emergency Platform
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Prepare for cyclones, severe thunderstorms, and high winds — secure roof items, know shelter, and stock supplies before warnings.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — NOT EXPERT REVIEWED — NOT FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Terrace pots, solar panels, and tin sheets not tied down before monsoon.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Family does not know district cyclone shelter location.
Scene hazards: Flying debris, Roof collapse, Storm surge
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Download IMD Rain Alarm or NDMA app — enable location alerts.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Identify smallest interior room — bathroom or hallway without windows.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Stock 3 days water and ready food before forecast landfall — shops close early.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Park vehicle away from trees and power lines; fill fuel tank if evacuating possible.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — District disaster helpline and 112 for rescue from flooded or collapsed structure.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Share location via SMS when data fails — text uses less network than calls.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Injuries from flying glass or fallen trees need trauma care after storm passes.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Never touch downed power lines — report to electricity board.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT go to beach to watch waves or cyclone — storm surge kills in minutes.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Do NOT assume brief calm means storm over — eye of cyclone brings worse winds after.
MYTH: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Tape X on windows stops cyclone glass breaking
REALITY: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — NDMA recommends shutters or boards. Tape does not stop high-speed debris — interior safe room matters more.
DANGER: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — False confidence while sleeping near unshuttered windows.
MYTH: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Cyclones only affect coastal villages
REALITY: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — IMD tracks show cyclones weaken slowly inland with heavy rain and wind hundreds of km from coast.
DANGER: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — No supplies when inland district flooded after cyclone landfall.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — NDMA cyclone protocols require pre-season preparation on east and west coasts. Wind turns everyday objects into projectiles.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — FEMA and Red Cross: inland flooding and tornado-like winds from severe storms kill after people think danger passed.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Pre-monsoon roof inspection — fix loose tiles and seal gaps.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Coastal fishers: follow harbour master evacuation timing — boat safety is part of household plan.
