Nagaon: The Revenue Circle Emergency Management Exercise (RC-EMEx 2025) at Dhing Girls High School, marking the start of a three-day initiative aimed at improving disaster preparedness across the Dhing Revenue Circle. The programme is being organised by the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Nagaon, and the Dhing Revenue Circle, with support from the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA).
The event was formally inaugurated by the Circle Officer of Dhing Revenue Circle on November 20. The opening ceremony was attended by the Principal of Dhing College, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, along with the District Project Officer of DDMA Nagaon, the Deputy Superintendent of Fire and Emergency Services, Dhing, District Resource Persons, and trainees from various departments and organisations.
In his inaugural address, the Circle Officer said that RC-EMEx 2025 is a timely initiative that aims to strengthen the capacity of government officials, emergency responders, school authorities, and locals. He added that regular training and coordinated planning are essential to reduce loss of life and property during natural disasters.
The first day of the programme included interactive training sessions conducted by the District Project Officer and invited Resource Persons. These sessions focused on disaster preparedness measures, coordination among different agencies, and community-level response systems that play a key role during emergencies.
On Day 2, scheduled for November 21, participants will take part in a Tabletop Exercise, followed by a mock scenario presentation. A site visit will also be conducted at Dhing Girls High School to help trainees understand ground-level challenges.
The concluding day, November 22, will feature a full-scale Mock Drill at Tolibar Ghat, Dhing. The drill will simulate real-life emergencies, allowing participating teams to practice evacuation, communication, and rescue operations.
Authorities hope that RC-EMEx 2025 will help create a more resilient and better-prepared community capable of responding swiftly in times of crisis.
