DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
Zensar Technologies Ltd. has developed an IT Park on Plot no 4-MIDC Kharadi, Kharadi,
Pune, Maharashtra.
Total Plot Area : 42,932.00 sq m
FSI Area : 36,629.82 sq m.
Non FSI Area : 6499.345 sq.m.
Height : max 38.25 m above GL
The proposed project site lies in Kharadi, Pune. The proposal pertains to the construction of 9
buildings as part of the Knowledge Park. The maximum number of floors proposed is 7, with
a maximum height of building is 38.25 m. The proposed number of user’s development is
expected to be 4055.
An emergency situation in a Knowledge park may be due to manmade hazards like fire, power
outage etc. or due to natural disasters viz. earthquake, flooding etc. The objective of a Disaster
Management Plan is to ensure effective mitigation plan and best possible protection of the users
of the knowledge park during the occurrence of a disaster.
Hazard
A hazard is defined as a dangerous condition or events that threaten or have the potential for
causing injury to life or damage to property or the environment is called hazard. Hazards can
be categorized in various ways, but based on the origin, they worldwide are basically grouped
in two broad headings:-
1. Natural Hazards (hazards with meteorological, geological or even biological origin)
2. Unnatural Hazards (hazards with human-caused or technological origin)
Disaster
A disaster is the product of a hazard such as earthquake, flood or windstorm coinciding with a
vulnerable situation, which might include communities, cities or villages. There are two main
components in this definition: hazard and vulnerability. Without vulnerability or hazard there
is no disaster. A disaster occurs when hazards and vulnerability meet.
Importance of Multi-hazard Management Plan
Hazard identification and risk assessment is done to handle natural disasters such as floods,
cyclones, landslides etc. This Disaster Management Plan is designed as per the present need
and the major strategies to respond to any unexpected situation have also been considered. In
the multi-hazard mitigation plan, all the disasters will be handled properly following the given
procedure.
The main features of the Disaster Management Plan are:
It gives importance to all the disasters equally and helps to mitigate the situation
beforehand.
All the line authorities are assigned with their proper role and responsibilities, which are
clearly indicated in this plan.

1. RISK ASSESSMENT AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
1.1. Classification of Disaster
Disaster can occur at any point of time. It is essential to consider the mitigation plan and
protection for all the society members during occurrence of a disaster. If the users of the
buildings are aware of the actions to be taken during a disaster, then the effect of disaster can
be reduced or avoided.
Following types of natural disaster can occur with a prior indication or without any prior
indication.
Natural Disasters
Natural Disasters occur naturally with or without any prior indication.
a. Earthquake
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This
sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. Building
develops cracks, collapses when the intensity of earthquake is more and prolonged.
Probability of Occurrence: As per the earthquake zonation of India, the proposed site falls
under seismic zone III which is referred as moderate risk zone. Thus the possibility and severity
of the experiencing the earthquake apparently decreases. Although there are no past records of
this disaster in this region, earthquake of intensity between 5.0 and 6.9 on the Richter scale can
occur in Zone III. Accordingly the measures proposed are enumerated in the section of
mitigation and preparedness.
b. Cloudburst and flood due to heavy rainfall
A cloudburst is an extreme amount of precipitation, sometimes with hail and thunder, which
normally lasts no longer than a few minutes but is capable of creating flood conditions. Sudden
cloudburst can cause a flood to occur. This is one of the natural disasters. During the
thunderstorms, the air mass that goes up from the lower level carries a certain amount of water
in it. Sometimes that air current abruptly stops moving and the water mass falls down forcefully
on the surface of earth. This natural phenomenon is known as cloudburst.
Flooding may occur due to the following reasons:
If the rainwater does get the access to the natural stream or municipal drains
Delay in water flow from all runoff towards the natural stream like river/ creek, nallah (or
sea).
Slow discharge of water
Flow diversion
Chocked up drains or nallah.
On site, at present, are two existing nallahs which are treated, one which runs along the southern
boundary of the plot and one which runs through the plot. As part of the proposed development,
this nallah will be partly covered, with openings for ventilation. Well designed culverts will be
proposed wherever necessary. The excess treated sewage from the proposed buildings will be
discharged into this nallah in the operation phase of the project.
However, the proposed site does not fall in a flood prone area.

c. Lightning Strike
Lightning can score a direct hit on a highrise building. It can strike the overhead power line
which enters the building, or a main power line that is blocks away. Lightning can strike branch
circuitry wiring in the walls of the building.
Lightning can strike an object nearby, such as a tree or the ground itself and cause a
surge. Voltage surges can be created by cloud to cloud lightning. A highly charged cloud which
passes overhead can also induce a voltage surge.
Buildings are protected from lightning by metallic lightning rods extending to the ground from
a point above the highest part of the roof. A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical
power systems and telecommunications systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the
system from the damaging effects of lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage
terminal and a ground terminal. The conductor has a pointed edge on one side and the other
side is connected to a long thick copper strip which runs down the building. The lower end of
the strip is properly earthed. When lightning strikes it hits the rod and current flows down
through the copper strip. These rods form a low-resistance path for the lightning discharge and
prevent it from travelling through the structure itself.
The proposed buildings have been designed with lightening arrestors to prevent any incidence
of lightening strike.
Unnatural Disasters: These kinds of disasters generally occur due to human error or
negligence.
d. Fire
Fire is a hazard which is caused mainly due to human negligence. There are other reasons like
electrical short circuit, rain water seepage in electrical installations, gas cylinder
malfunctioning, or domestic gas leakage which can cause fire disaster. A full proof firefighting
system is designed for the buildings which meets all fire safety norms and has a mitigation plan
to tackle the fire hazard.
During construction phase of the proposed project, all safety precautions will be taken to handle
the fire hazard.
During construction fire can break out due to following reasons:
Electrical loose connection
Electrical short circuit
Storage of Inflammable material like diesel, paint at site
From cooking gas cylinders at labour hutment
Post Occupancy:
The proposed project is designed with utmost care for all fire safety norms for all the buildings.
The normal cause of fire in the proposed project post-occupancy is LPG cylinders, loose
connection to LPG cylinders, electrical short circuit, storage of highly inflammable material
like diesel, fire crackers in festival session etc.
The proposed buildings will be constructed with all fire safety norms to mitigate such
calamities during operation phase. Fire proof material will be used as per design for various
components of the building. Electrical cables and switches will be IS (Bureau of Indian
Standard) certified and will have the minimum fire rating to mitigate any fire hazard. The
Zensar – Estate Management

cabling and jointing will be done by professional agencies to avoid any mistake while
installation.
e. Building collapse
To protect against building collapse, hardening of the buildings structural systems may be
required. Designers should balance the hardening of the building envelope so that the columns,
walls, windows and glazing have an approximately equal response for damage/ injury. This is
a multi-disciplinary effort of the architect, structural engineer, mechanical engineer and other
design team members in order to achieve a balance building envelope.
f. Vehicle Accidents
Traffic flow to and within the site needs to be maintained so that there are no obstructions to
existing traffic flow on access roads. It is also suggested to avoid road side parking. The entry/
exit to the site will be designed with adequate curvature at kerbs so that vehicles coming out/
entering the buildings do not impinge on road traffic directly. Regular maintenance and upkeep
of the internal roads within project site will ensure smooth traffic flow.
g. Security breach
Included in this category are bomb threat, riots and vandalism. Bomb threats could be genuine
or false and many a times they turn out to be a hoax. Unscrupulous elements with the intention
of creating a panic tend to resort to such hoax calls. Confirmed militants however resort to such
deeds with the intention of destruction and strike terror.
It would therefore be prudent to first and foremost assess the genuinity of bomb threats. The
threats are usually through phone calls, giving very little time to react or through mail, giving
a certain date of an explosion that could occur. It is very rare that the caller will identify himself
and the message sent through any messenger for fear of easy identification.
h. Malfunctioning of Lifts
Lifts should be designed as per NBC norms and should also adhere to fire regulations.
Emergency exit door and emergency exit route should be clearly marked with a glow sign.
Regular maintenance of lifts and other BMS has to be conducted. There should be a specific
Committee appointed for maintaining the systems during the operation phase.
Off-site Hazards
Following are some other types of hazards that may be of concern to the proposed development
for which effective mitigative measures need to be in place:
i. Rail/Air Accidents
j. Nuclear radiation hazards
k. Traffic accidents along the main road artery
l. Biological & Chemical hazard
m. Violence outside the project site

Emergency Mitigation Procedure : Natural Calamities : EARTHQUAKE
What to do DURING an earthquake?
Drop, Cover, and Hold On! If you are not near a desk or
table, drop to the floor against the interior wall and protect
your head and neck with your arms. Avoid exterior walls,
windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large
appliances, and kitchen cabinets with heavy objects or glass.
Do NOT run outside!
Stop driving if you're in a safe place, and if outside, go into
an open area. Don't attempt to go outside if you're not in a
position to do so--you could be injured by falling debris.
When the earthquake is over, be sure to wear shoes to avoid
broken glass. If you smell gas, turn off the main gas line and
get out of the building. And don't forget--aftershocks do
occur, so don't assume the damage is done after the main
shock has ended
What to do AFTER an earthquake?
1. Check for injuries. Do not move a seriously injured
person unless they are in immediate danger of further
injuries.
2. Safety check. Check for the following hazards:
Fire or fire hazards.
Gas leaks: Shut off the main gas valve only if a leak is
suspected or identified by the odor of natural gas. Wait
for the gas company to turn it back on once the damage is
repaired.
Damaged electrical wiring: Shut off power at the control
box.
Downed or damaged utility lines: Stay away from
downed lines even if power appears to be off.
Fallen objects in closets and cupboards: Displaced objects
may fall when you open the door.
Check your telephone: Make sure each phone is on its
receiver. Telephones that are off the hook tie up the
telephone network unnecessarily.
1. Clean up. Clean up potentially harmful materials and/or
medicines which may have spilled.
