Accordingly, lists of resources available with, and contact numbers of key personnel of neighbouring Railways, Civil and Military authorities, NGOs and Key Private Organisations have been updated to meet such instances.

This will be helpful to strengthen and revamp the Training on Disaster Management being imparted to several tiers of railway officials through Railway Training Institutes," said a senior officer of CR adding that 3D mapping in case of Disaster is very essential for the rescue team to be better prepared before entering hazardous situations.
