Community Response Network-101
Introduction to CRN 101:
Objectives:-
Community Response Network (CRN 101) is a simple course designed to give a student a basic understanding of disaster management and how government systems work in general.

The objective of CRN 101 course is to educate and create awareness about various government systems involved in the mitigation of disaster management. It covers a brief introduction to various government systems and how these systems coordinate together at times of disasters.

THE DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT SYSTEM AND THEIR INTERCONNECTION:
The local self government :
The topics discussed were:
Tiers of panchayat system which included divisions in rural and urban areas.
Health systems which included Health care infrastructure and department under health systems. 
Revenue System which contains 3 levels District, Taluk and Panchayat level. 
Law Enforcement and Women in Police.
The 3-tier panchayat system
RURAL AREA 
The ward members from various Wards report to a Panchayat Committee. The Panchayat committee also has appointed members along with the elected members. The Panchayat Committee has a President (Elected Member) and Secretary (government appointed member) and various standing committees (e.g.: Standing Committee on health, welfare, finance).
URBAN AREAS
The Municipalities (Municipals Councils/Nagar Palinka /Nagar Palinka Parishad) and Corporations (Municipal Corporations) are the local government in India that administer urban areas with a population of more than 25 thousand and more than 10 lakhs respectively. Some states in India have City Councils (Nagar-Panchayat) as an additional division. The area administered by a municipality or corporation is divided into territorial constituencies known as wards. Members are elected to the wards committee on the basis of adult franchise for a term of five years. These members are known as councilors. The number of wards is determined by the population of the city.
HEALTH SYSTEM
The public-health care system in India is based on a three-tiered health-care system to provide preventive and curative health care in rural and urban areas. It consists of sub-centres, primary health centres and community health centres.

REVENUE SYSTEM
In pre-independent India, there was one person who was in charge of collecting tax revenues from the public. This person was the “Collector” in the “Revenue” Department. The District Collector heads the revenue system within a district in addition to many other administrative responsibilities including that of the District Magistrate.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
The constitution of India delegates the maintenance of law and order primarily to the states and territories. All senior officers in the state police forces and federal agencies are members of the Indian Police Service (IPS). They are appointed by the Cabinet from the Indian Police Service. Further down the hierarchy are the officers of the rank of Inspector General of Police. The districts are headed by District Police Chiefs who are usually in the rank of Superintendent of Police. There are exceptions in the police districts of Thiruvananthapuram city and Kochi city where the heads are of the rank of Inspector General of Police and the police district of Kozhikode which is headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police.

COORDINATION OF THESE SYSTEMS IN DIFFERENT LEVELS:

  Managementdisaster September 13, 2022   Disaster management: Disaster Management can be defined as the preparedness, response and recovery methods in order to lessen the impact of disasters. A disaster disrupts the normal function of the society to the extent that it cannot function without outside help.           Disasters can be classified as natural, technological or complex emergencies. Let's take a look at the natural disasters in Kerala.           In August 2018,Kerala was hit by incessant rains followed by one of the worst floods that the state has witnessed in decades.
