Response Plan

Scenario
  • Plane lost control & crashed into HDB housing estate


  • Causing collapse of 2 HDB blocks


  • Many residents affected – dead/injured/trapped


  • Authorities decide to evacuate residents from nearby HDB blocks
4
Implications (Immediate)
  • Mass casualties - trapped / injury / death


  • Traffic congestion / chaos


  • Large number of people to be evacuated


  • Massing of people  / curious onlookers


  • “Rushing to rescue”


  • Communications breakdown among public


  • Fear / anxiety / anger

 Principal Considerations
  • GROs are not the primary response agencies.  They will act in support of the Incident Manager/Lead Agency.


  • Need to establish links  with Incident Manager & relevant agencies during peacetime


  • Need to pre-identify requirements and get ready relevant data (list of residents with special needs GROs recall network, etc) during peacetime
