As the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) acting as Incident Commander following the derailment of a freight train carrying pressurized Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) near a residential settlement, you observe an active vapor leak from one tanker. Which of the following immediate administrative measures are mandatory under crisis management protocols? (Select all that apply)
- Establish an immediate evacuation perimeter upwind of the leak site and enforce a strict prohibition on all potential ignition sources in the cordon zone.Cevap
- Requisition municipal fire services to deploy water curtains for vapor cloud dispersion while activating specialized Hazardous Materials (HazMat) response units.Cevap
- CDirect non-specialized emergency workers to puncture adjacent intact tankers to perform controlled open venting before HazMat personnel arrive.
- DBypass statutory Incident Command System (ICS) reporting channels to engage unvetted local private contractors without inter-departmental notification.
Cevap
The correct administrative measures are establishing an upwind evacuation cordon with strict ignition controls, and mobilizing HazMat units alongside municipal water-curtain vapor suppression.
In hazardous chemical spill scenarios, an Incident Commander must prioritize public safety through upwind perimeter evacuation, spark suppression, and technical vapor suppression using water curtains while coordinating through formal Incident Command channels.
