Integrated Control Room for Emergency Response (ICR-ER), MHA, organizes 3rd Seminar on Integration with State Emergency Operation Centres (SEOCs)
In an endeavor to foster Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s 10-point agenda for Disaster Risk Reduction, Integrated Control Room for Emergency Response (ICR-ER), Ministry of Home Affairs, organized 3rd Seminar on Integration with State Emergency Operation Centres (SEOCs). Under guidance of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, the Government’s endeavor is to achieve the goal of “Zero Casualty“ during disasters.
The focus of seminar was to attain a synergy among State Emergency Operation Centers (SEOCs) of all States and UTs, and other agencies working relentlessly to mitigate disasters.
During the seminar, the emphasis was laid on use of technology to curtail the time in dissemination of vital information pertaining to disasters. Eminent Scientists & Domain Experts from NRSC, IMD, NCS and CWC provided valuable inputs on various disaster related subjects and early warning system. A hands-on training on National Database for Emergency Management (NDEM 5.0) was also organized at ICR-ER. The interactive sessions on NDEM 5.0 emphasized on measures for anticipation of disasters, risk mitigation, resource utilization and smooth flow of information between Center and States.
The seminar provided an opportunity to participants from all the States and UTs to learn about technological advancements in the field of disaster management. A session on Artificial Intelligence (AI) was also conducted during the event as AI is expected to bring a paradigm shift in the existing approach and provide a much-needed fillip to all agencies engaged in disaster mitigation and response.
The seminar also discussed preparedness for Moonsoon-2026. The event provided an excellent platform to various Central Agencies and representatives from State/UTs to bridge the gap and shift from a relief-centric approach to a proactive, prevention-focused strategy for dealing with disasters.
