Talking about the Management of Emergency Rescue Equipment

Earthquake emergency rescue equipment supplies are the lifeline for earthquake rescue work, the material basis for earthquake rescue work, and the guarantee for the smooth progress of earthquake rescue work. In order to improve the timeliness of earthquake emergency rescue work and meet various rescue equipment required for earthquake disasters, it is particularly important to implement standardized, scientific, and systematic management of earthquake emergency relief supplies.

The management of earthquake emergency rescue equipment supplies is a special kind of management, which is essentially different from general material management. Because the earthquake disasters are sudden, specific, critical, and destructive. Earthquake emergency rescue work is emergency, scientific, and pertinent. It is the rescue of surviving lives from rubble and the minimization of casualties. It is race against time to race against time. Therefore, the management of earthquake emergency equipment supplies is characterized by rapid response, accuracy, scientific practicality, and comprehensiveness. In response to these characteristics, scientific management methods have been used to achieve certain results in earthquake emergency rescue support work.

First, standardization, scientific management

Earthquake disasters, as a sudden natural disaster, have different magnitudes of time and place, and the losses caused by them are very different and non-reproducible. Therefore, the specific needs of each earthquake emergency rescue mission are different. This means that each emergency rescue equipment item is different, and it is necessary to determine the size of the team and its equipment and supplies according to the earthquake conditions, disaster conditions, regions, and seasons. If the plan is compiled based on relevant information only after the disaster occurs, this will not only take a lot of time, it will also affect the speed of assembly of equipment and materials, thus affecting the requirements for rapid deployment of emergency rescue teams. Therefore, in peacetime work, it is necessary to formulate equipment and material integration plans for different types of disasters, different scales, different regions, and different seasons according to the emergency rescue work plan and related documents, and be aware of what is happening in peacetime. Not alarmed. At the same time, we must continue to improve and improve in practice to make it more reasonable and operational. Standardized management has greatly improved the rapid response and accuracy of equipment and materials.

Second, modular, flexible and mobile management

The use of modern management theory requires the modular management of thousands of equipment supplies. Modules are divided into two types, unit modules and overall modules. According to the geographical characteristics of different disaster conditions, the needs of the demobilized personnel and other needs, the unit modules are formed, and the equipment and materials of each module are packaged and packaged in advance to form an overall module that can directly meet the requirements of the demolition plan. When the mission starts, it only needs to make adjustments to the special needs of the affected areas. According to the adjusted plan, the overall module will be partially increased or decreased or the unit modules will be added. This is often referred to as "building block equipment and materials management. ".

At present, the basic model we take to safeguard national rescue team is equipped with equipment and materials to perform 50 tasks module 10 days, and backed up more than 10 10-day unit module. In this phase of mobilization, 50 , 60 , 70 or even more equipment and materials can be quickly prepared . If the number of dequeued persons is not an integer, if there are less than 5 persons in the single digit , separate preparations are made. If it is greater than or equal to 5 , then the next integer module is directly called for preparation. In addition, according to different weather conditions, the national rescue team's demobilization plan also includes spring and autumn, summer and winter programs. If there are religious or other sensitive issues encountered in the affected country in international rescue, there are corresponding modules in the team-out plan. The National Earthquake Field Emergency Task Force has taken the form of a cumulative number of individual program modules.

Through a number of international and domestic earthquake emergency rescue operations, the above management model has received excellent results. It has regulations to follow, is fast and orderly, and is busy without chaos. In particular, only two earthquake rescue operations in Haiti are used. For many hours, 12 tons of equipment and supplies were assembled . Achieve rapid response and accuracy.

Third, standardization, systematic management

The standardization of equipment and materials management is based on the modular management. Due to the commonality of equipment and materials data items, managers can save and use the required information in a standardized format. In addition, in order to be able to quickly identify and accurately manage, a standardized equipment and material identification and identification system can be developed. This kind of standardization construction can permeate every working link. It can not only make multiple tasks more efficient, but also make equipment and materials management work continuously optimized with the continuous improvement and improvement of the standardization system itself. .

The two national teams (national rescue teams and field work teams) now use a standardized equipment management system that includes a color identification system and an integrated equipment database. The color identification system is divided into two parts: color identification equipment and identification reading information. First of all, under the intuitive distinction of different colors, managers can quickly classify different types of equipment and supplies; secondly, by reading the identification information on the equipment box, the weight of the equipment box can be directly obtained. Volume and the corresponding number on the list of equipment and other information.

Take the color identification system of the field team as an example. Blue represents communication equipment, red represents disaster assessment equipment, yellow represents logistic equipment, orange represents propaganda equipment, and green represents food. In principle, in order to identify the system's first name in capital letters class equipment pinyin to represent, for example, logistical equipment used is "H", then the logistics equipment in the life "SH" equipment box No. 1, marking up as "HSH- 001. " This color identification system can receive very good results both in the usual equipment and materials management, and in the mobilization phase, as well as in the rapid classification and identification of site management.

At the same time, we have centralized all the information we need to know in the integration module of equipment and materials, and developed a standardized database. In this database, no matter whether it wants to call equipment or material information of a whole module or a single piece of information, it can be quickly found through related search, so that the list of equipment and materials that are carried out when the team is released becomes uniform in format and information is comprehensive. Convenience.

Repeated practical experience proves that the normative

The effective combination of work flow and standardization system,

Not only can it significantly shorten the preparation of equipment supplies

Time, but also can greatly improve the

With the accuracy of equipment supplies and the accuracy of the required information. Once again, it reflects fast response and accuracy

error.

Fourth, diversification, overall coordination and management

1. The management of food, water, and some consumables in earthquake emergency rescue equipment materials is more distinctive. One is difficult to save. The second is the largest, and the third is to follow. In order to solve these problems, we have tapped social resources, developed a market-oriented logistics service chain, and formed partnerships with related organizations. Through cooperation and communication, we can understand the characteristics of earthquake disasters, and obtain more understanding and support from social resources for unexpected mission requirements and ensure that mission requirements can be met under any circumstances.

2. Safe Transportation is Earthquake Emergency Rescue Equipment

The last link, which is quick and accurate, is also the most important link. This step is to transport all prepared equipment and supplies to the designated assembly site on time. Like all other tasks, transportation is also a very comprehensive task. Handling equipment order supplies, transport vehicles carrying capacity requirements, transportation travel route selection, vehicles and personnel management, security, transportation and handling of emergency equipment and materials transport accidents are required to make detailed plans and arrangements, so as to ensure that transport work Effective on-time assembly of equipment and supplies.

The rapid assembly is carried out under the guarantee of safety. In addition to the safety of transportation vehicles during transportation, safety of the assets of the equipment must also be taken care of. In all earthquake emergency rescue equipment and materials, there is a class of substances that may cause safety accidents due to improper management or improper packaging and are easily transported. They belong to the category of “dangerous goods”, such as gasoline, diesel, and internal combustion generators. Used oil barrels and so on. These equipment supplies need special packaging and identification during the transportation process, especially when air transport is carried out, and there are very strict packaging and transportation requirements for various dangerous goods. For transportation and safety issues, the two national teams now have detailed transport loading and unloading plans, transportation line backup plans, vehicle number monitoring plans, emergency treatment plans, and dangerous goods packaging and transportation plans for different delisting requirements. With a scientific and standardized management program, there are accurate and effective management results.

3. The management of earthquake emergency rescue equipment supplies is carried out by the players

The work guarantee and life guarantee of emergency rescue work are the basis for effective rescue work. The more detailed the management of equipment and materials, the smoother the work of the team members will be. All things need to be prepared for the emergency rescue work in front of them. Everything is needed for the rescue team in front of them. It is also an important feature that logistical support managers take into consideration. Especially when it comes to small-scale protections such as nail clippers, razors, and mobile phone chargers, when performing international and domestic rescue missions, consider national costumes, food taboos, etc. that are prepared for the religious ethnic customs of the affected countries and special regions. . All aspects are an additional feature of earthquake emergency relief material management, and also an important aspect of improving the effectiveness of earthquake emergency rescue equipment and materials management.

In short, the purpose of earthquake emergency rescue equipment and material management is to meet the demand for material and equipment in earthquake emergency rescue work. It is necessary to complete the necessary materials and equipment at the first time and reach the appointed place before the players arrive. Practice has proved that such actions as the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the IEC assessment last year , the earthquake in Haiti just past, and the earthquake rescue in Yushu in Qinghai Province have greatly improved the management results through scientific, standardized and standardized management, and not only fulfilled the mission requirements, but also achieved All levels of leaders and experts praised.
