South Goa Collector issues advisory, SOP for air raid alerts and blackout protocols as precautionary measures

In a precautionary move aligned with national civil contingency protocols, the Collector of South Goa has issued an official advisory along with a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for air raid alerts and blackout protocols.

The directive, grounded in the Civil Defence Manual, outlines detailed procedures to be followed by all government departments, local bodies, emergency services, and the general public in the event of an air raid warning or a blackout directive.

The SOP aims to ensure swift and coordinated responses during emergencies and includes guidelines on public announcements, switching off all lights, suspending non-essential services, and maintaining calm. Residents are urged to cooperate fully and remain vigilant.

Authorities have called for mock drills and heightened readiness across the district, reinforcing the importance of civil preparedness amid growing concerns over national security.

Further details of the SOP are available at the South Goa District Administration’s official channels.
