Objectives3.Describe prone areas effected from
disasters.
4.Describe difficult situations for Rescue 1122 in big cites.
5.Describe the Roll of Rescue 1122 in these situations.
3
Most difficult operation for Rescue 1122 Every rescue operation is a challenge
for Rescue 1122. However any rescue operation becomes more challenging if it is not reported on time.
Late respond to incident.
Timely call can ensure timely rescue. Timely response can decrease losses.

Climate Change in Pakistan Pakistan is particularly vulnerable to
Climate Change, Visible changes in hydrological cycle
have been observed in the form of Changing precipitation pattern. Droughts Water availability periods in rivers. Frequency and intensity of heat waves. Weather-induced natural disasters.
10
Most frequent Challenges in Pakistan for Rescue services
Floods
11
FloodsPakistan is one of the most flood prone countries in South Asia
Indus is the largest river of Pakistan and its tributaries are Kabul, Swat, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas
and Sutlej 12
Generally floods in these rivers occur in late summer (July to September)due to heavy monsoon rains.
Flooding can also occur as the result of glacial lakes breaking that are caused by high summer temperatures.
Floods in Pakistan can also occur due to the climate change.

Districts Prone to Floods
• Hyderabad, Sukker, Nawab Shah districts in Sindh Province
• Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan, Muzaffargargh, Jhelum, Rahim yar khan and Lahore districts in Punjab Province
• D.I. Khan, Peshawar, Nowshera, Charsadda, Swat, Mardan and Dera Ismail Khan district in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Province
• Keich, Jaffarabad, Naseerabad districts in Baluchistan Province
16
Earthquakes Pakistan lies upon Indo-Australian plate which iscontinuously moving andcausing earthquakes
The Koh-e-Suleiman, HinduKush and Koh-e-krakurammountain ranges areparticularly vulnerable and theresulting devastation can beimmense because of the poorconstruction of the buildings.

Droughts The incident of drought in Pakistan is
becoming increasingly due to low rainfall extreme variations in temperature
The most susceptible regions experience adrought 2 or 3 years every decade.

districts in Punjab Province D.I.Khan, and some part of Bannu
district in KP Kohlu, Dalbandin, Turbat, Kharan,
Panjgur in Western Baluchistan.25
Landslides
Landslide caused due to Earthquakes Flooding heavy continuous
rainfall26
For all types of slope failure, soil moisture plays a vital role because water reduces the soil strength and increases the stress.
Cutting of trees (deforestation) is a major cause of landslides.

Our Role
Community Awareness program Lack of an informed and educated public
about the dangers of disaster.
(I think the public is trainable)
Training for community volunteers
USAR teams
36
Difficult situations for Rescue 1122 Terrorism Traffic High-rise buildings Urban fires Old city & urban areas Metro mass transit bus service Orange line train service Others
37
Terrorism Pakistan for last few years has been turned into land of casualties, where all time people are at risk of hazard of Terrorism.
38
Terrorism
39
Psychological causes, unemployment, lack of education, Poverty and use of religion are the main causes of terrorism.
Most common types of terrorism are bombing, suicide attack, arm attack and assassination.
40
Traffic Challenges
Increasing Traffic intensity
Road Congestion parking
Accidents
41
Traffic Challenges Congestion
Increase of traffic in urban areas is causing congestion - this costs to fatal accidents.
Parking – Major problem – Portion of road is occupied by Parking
Climate change Urban mobility accounts for 40% of all CO2
emissions of road transport.
42
Traffic Challenges
43
Traffic Challenges
Transport accidents are very common in Pakistan
Hundreds of people have been killed in train and road accidents
Recent incidences of Air Blue crash during 2010 and Bhoja air crash 2012 in Islamabad cause heavy loss of lives

high may present similar difficulties If fire on top floors of four- or five-
story building, treat as high-rise
49
Role of Rescue 1122 Proper training and experience will
play an important role in the successful management of these incidents.
Evacuation plan and drillsMock exercisesRope Rescue exercise.Advance fire & Rescue vehicles.
50
Fire Snorkel for high-rise buildings
51
Safety in High-rise Buildings Requirements:
Must have a Fire safety manager responsible for maintaining fire emergency plans, coordinating activities of floor fire wardens and liaison with Rescue 1122.
Ensure fire warden’s receive regular training.
Make Fire warden’s responsible for safe evacuation of occupants on the floor and help those who need assistance. 52
HelipadFor high rise buildings provision for helipad should be made.
53
FIRE OFFICER FOR BUILDINGS WITH HEIGHT MORE THAN 30 m
A qualified Fire Officer with experience of not less than 3 years
shall be appointed who will be available on the premises.
54
Urban Fires Recently Pakistan has experienced major urban fire
incidents in its major cities causing deaths and heavy financial damages to property .
The chances of fire increases with urbanization,
unplanned CNG gas filling stations in urban areas and unauthorized LPG gas stores
The sale of petroleum products in the residential areas
is also widespread in the cities These practices combined with mass culture of
smoking cigarettes could pose a major fire risk
The fire services in urban centres are poorly equipped55
. There are many areas which are inaccessible for rescue vehicles.
56
There are no fire hydrants available
57
Old city & urban areas In the same way our walled city
(Lahore) has become very dangerous and challenging because of unorganized construction.
The streets are not wide enough for any rescue operation.
Old buildings collapsed every year in rainy season.
58
59
Urbanization, More cars & other vehicles, pollution, congestion, old buildings.

Metro mass transit bus service

61
Orange line train service
62
In case of any incident ?
How we will approach? If we have proper knowledge about orange train and metro bus ? Have Training for dealing such incident?
63
Roll of Rescue 1122
Preparedness plans for saving lives. Equipped latest fire & rescue equipment. Advance training programs and mock
exercises. Capacity building through expertise,
equipment & training for search, rescue and debris removal tasks.
64
Roll of Rescue 1122
