Theforest departmenthas decided to develop 37 model crew stations, spacious facilities in remote, disaster-prone areas which rescue forces can access quickly to tackleforest fires, wildlife attacks or natural disasters.
The model crew stations have been selected based on their accessibility, connectivity and space available for camping and storage (for convenience of rescue personnel). These are basically moderndisastermanagement centres of the forest department. The idea is to let all departments: Police, Disaster Management, fire-fighting units as well as work under the same roof, in synergy, to save maximum lives and Resources“>Natural Resources in case of any mishap. These centres will also be used as camping sites for theState Disaster Response Force(SDRF) andNational Disaster Response Force(NDRF), if they are deployed.
