4	Implications (Immediate) Potentially overwhelming number of casualties over short time span & large affected area causing widespread panic Possible high resistance from affected residents to stay indoors Media reports may result in anxiety and fear of contamination among residents from other parts of Singapore Environmental factors, e.g. change in wind direction may result in other areas to be affected
5	Implications (Immediate) Many will be requesting for information on victims Family members, relatives and others may rush to the station to look for their loves ones Accurate information may not reach all residents (especially elderly, handicapped, dialect speaking) fast enough, therefore creating more confusion & panic Some may not know how to implement IPP
6	Implications (Mid to Long Term Some residents fear stepping out from their house even after incident is over Some commuters may develop phobia in taking MRT Hardship experienced by survivors and victims’ next of kins (NOKs) due to loss of income/sole breadwinner
7	Implications (Mid to Long Term Wide-spread racial and religious tensions may arise as the incident is likely to be terrorist-related Confidence towards Government and the authorities need to be restored National concern and grief about the number of lives lost in the incident
8	Principal Considerations GROs are not the primary response agencies. They will act in support of the Incident Manager/Lead Agency. Limited role for GRLs/volunteers during Response Phase i..e when IPP is implemented 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
