Disaster management plan for Aero India ready
Karnataka on Thursday unveiled a new disaster management plan for the upcoming Aero India show, which authorities claim is a first-of-its-kind initiative to prevent mishaps during the event.
According to Revenue Minister R Ashoka, the government has come up with a GIS-based plan to tackle any possible disaster during Aero India, which is scheduled to be held February 3-5 at the Yelahanka Air Force Station here.
“We have identified at least nine possible disaster scenarios during Aero India 2021 – Covid-19, fire, collapse of structure, stampede, air crash, radiological and nuclear emergency, terror/drone/cyber attack, extreme weather, drinking water and food poisoning,” he said, adding that eight different departments had come together to plan a concerted effort to tackle such possibilities.
