Role of Police in Disaster Management: Amit Singh Chauhan

The document discusses the important role of police in disaster management. Police are typically the first responders to arrive at disaster sites as central assistance takes more time. They have well-developed communication systems and cover every village. Their familiarity with local terrain and awareness of people's sensitivities make police well-suited for disaster response. The disaster management cycle involves preparedness, response, and restoration activities by police like traffic control, first aid, search and rescue, security, and coordination with other agencies. Police infrastructure like vehicles, arms, equipment and communication systems support these disaster management functions.
