Summary
Natural calamities in the Indian subcontinent necessitate significant relief efforts. This study proposes a framework to utilize trained ex-servicemen for disaster response, tapping an underutilized resource for national security.
Area of Science:
- Disaster management and public administration.
- Civil-military relations and national security.
- Human resource utilization for emergency response.
Background:
- The Indian subcontinent frequently experiences natural disasters like cyclones, floods, and earthquakes.
- These events demand extraordinary efforts to mitigate damage to life and property.
- The Armed Forces are frequently deployed for disaster relief operations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a conceptual framework for leveraging the skills of ex-servicemen in disaster management.
- To address the untapped potential of a disciplined and trained ex-servicemen population.
- To propose an organizational structure for integrating ex-servicemen into disaster relief efforts.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of existing disaster response mechanisms.
- Assessment of the capabilities and training of ex-servicemen.
- Development of a proposed organizational framework for ex-servicemen deployment.
Main Results:
- Identified a significant, underutilized pool of trained ex-servicemen.
- Highlighted the lack of a structured framework for their involvement in disaster relief.
- Proposed a conceptual model for their integration into national disaster response.
Conclusions:
- Ex-servicemen represent a valuable, yet untapped, resource for disaster management in India.
- An organized framework is crucial to effectively mobilize this demographic.
- Implementing such a framework can enhance national disaster preparedness and response capabilities.
