arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives

wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough

preparedness.”

Director General, NDRF

The structural collapse has been a frequent phenomenon in India and imposes serious
risk on the populace. Dense population, multi-storeyed buildings, poor construction,
seismic activities and lack of maintenance often lead to structural collapse and
multiply the risk. Adopting safe practices and strictly following building codes can
minimise the damage to an extent.

The management and control of the adverse consequences of future structural

collapse incidents will require co-ordinated, prompt and effective response system
at the Central and State Govt. levels. Preparations in this regard constitute an
important part of our efforts for better management of disasters in the country.

The purpose of this SOP is to formulate the guidelines for NDRF responders to
standardise response post structural collapse incidents. These procedural guidelines
identify some of the critical issues/gaps which must be adhered to for managing
these incidents.

The compilation of this SOP is driven by on the lessons learnt by NDRF and other
stakeholders during past incidents. I hope this SOP on CSSR Operations will prove
to be helpful not only to NDRF rescuers but other stakeholders as well. It will also
guide other stakeholders to adopt a certain level of uniformity in response. The SOP
is dynamic in nature & subject to further improvements based on future inputs.

1. INTRODUCTION:
Collapse Structure Search & Rescue is a term applied to rescue & recovery operations at
the scene of a large & complex structural collapse or multiple structural collapse. It can
also be applied to the scene of a less complex “Structural Collapse”. A collapse refers
to a failure of a structure or component to maintain its structural integrity.

CSSR is an operation to conduct safe and effective search & rescue operation in which
a wide range of knowledge, skill & ability are required with use of advance techniques
to locate, extricate & stabilize the victim trapped inside the confined space/void of a
collapsed structure. The ultimate goal of search & rescue operation is to rescue trapped
victims in shortest span of time.

iii) Team commander will assign specific radio designation to each sub-team.
iv) Once building triage is complete, the search team will carry out search
of buildings. If building triage team determines that the building is
structurally unstable, SAR team will not enter until appropriate shoring
and stabilization has been done.

SHORING:
a. Shoring should be done on the structures with severely damaged panels,
loose pieces of concrete, cracked or broken pre-fabricated panels and
cracked masonry walls etc.

20
b. Shoring should be done before conducting search and rescue operation
inside the collapsed structure.
c. Shoring will be conducted by shoring teams as per procedure and safety
rules.
d. Shoring team commander will determine what type of shoring is required
and following factors will be kept in mind:-
• Weight of construction materials.
• Weight of structural elements to be supported.
• Normal load capacity of existing undamaged structure.
• Condition of the structure to be supported.
• Condition of foundation and surface angle to determine stability of
shoring.
• Availability of shoring materials.
• Lateral and vertical instability.
v) After completion of physical search, team will carry out K-9 search
followed by technical search.

vi) Search team will use standard marking system after building has been
searched. The basic marking process as per the INSARAG methodology
is mentioned at Appendix-K.
vii) SAR team should consider the use of periodic “All Quiet” calls which
involves the shutdown of all noise making equipment/ devices to hear
trapped victims.
viii) If victims are located, SAR sub-team calls for additional rescuers and
equipment in order to extricate the victims and treat that space as a
confined space.
ix) Technical Search will be carried out by using technical/ special equipment
like VLC and Life Detector Mark -I & Mark –II etc.

21
8.3.4 STAGE –IV & V: GAINING ACCESS AND EXTRICATION OF VICTIM:
i) If search and rescue team needs to breach walls, floors or roofs
to gain access to victims, they should attempt to gain access by not
compromising the stability of load bearing walls.
ii) Victim assessment must be made and the proper extrication method
must be chosen to avoid any further injuries to the victim.
iii) DEBRIS REMOVAL: Debris removal may be conducted if it is part of SAR
Ops, i.e. until all the victims have been extricated of accounted for. Once
all the victims have been extricated, i.e. there is no possibility of trapped
victims; search and rescue operations may be called off in that collapsed
structure after due consultation with State/District administration.
Following be kept in mind during debris removal if it is part of SAR Ops:
a. Rescuers must be very careful when removing debris so as not to cause
secondary collapse or further injury to the victim.
b. Debris should be removed firstly from the selected areas where there is
highest probability of trapped victims.
c. Debris should be removed systematically and gradually from top to down.
d. Rescuers must be careful, not to remove pieces that may affect the
stability of the structure; when in doubt, consult structural engineer.
e. Mark debris to prevent duplicate search efforts.

iv) After evacuation, victims will be immediately dispatched for advance

medical care after giving PHT.
v) After extrication of any victim, proper Victim Extrication Form will be
prepared and handed over to the concerned Agency/ Authority. The
suggested proforma is mentioned at Appendix-N.

22
 vi) Besides victims, valuable items if found during the operation be duly
accounted for as per the proforma at Appendix-O and handed over to
concerned authority.

8.4 PHASE–IV: DE-ACTIVATION AND DE-MOBILIZATION:

After completion of operation, SAR Teams are de-mobilized:
i) Once the SAR team has completed the task, the decision to terminate the
operation will be taken by the HQ NDRF /DIG (Ops)/Unit Commandant in
consultation with the concerned State/District authority.
ii) All required clearances are taken from the concerned State/District
authorities.
iii) Before de-mobilization of SAR team, De-mobilization Form will be prepared
by team commander as per the proforma mentioned at Appendix-S.
iv) Check and count all equipment at ops site for loss and damage, if any.
Stores are loaded and teams move back to their respective locations.
v) Following instructions should be adhered during the de-mobilization
stage:-
a. After the operation is finished, Unit Commandant will demobilize all
the teams as per the planning. The teams which were inducted first
should be de-inducted first and the teams which were inducted in
the last should be de-inducted in the last. Unit Control Room will
inform HQ NDRF about the progress of de-mobilization.
b. Unit Control Room will assist the teams in smooth withdrawal from
operation site.
c. Unit Control Room will inform the HQ NDRF regarding the arrival of
the teams.

8.5 PHASE–V: POST-OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES:

After arrival of teams at BN HQ, following post-operational activities are
carried out:
i) Checking of all TEAs will be done by unit ‘MOST’.
ii) Loss & damage of any TEA will be brought in the notice of unit HQ.
iii) Medical and physical examination of all rescuers will be ensured.
iv) PTSD session for all rescuers will be organized at BN HQ.
v) De-briefing session will be conducted on following aspects:-
a. Summary of all activities.
