    COMMISSIONED in the Indian Air Force in 1991 as a transport pilot. He
    has flown more than 3000 hours in all roles of transport aircraft. He is
    also a qualified Missile operator and a para-jumper.
    Wing Commander Dinesh Vaswani is presently posted in Head
    Quarter South Western Air Command (SWAC) as Ops-2A, that is, in charge of all transport
    aircraft and VIP movements. He is also the NODAL OFFICER for Disaster Management for

    international symposia, disaster management institutes, etc. He has been invited for his
    talks by IIT, Nirma University, SVBIT, GIDM to name a few. He has the rare distinction of
    being COMMENDED by Air Force, Navy and Army.
    About the talk

    When it comes to disaster management we find that there are several SOPs,
    rule books, Acts enacted, plans drawn up, etc. However, each time a crisis
    situation develops why is that there are more faux pas to talk about and lessons
    learnt to carry back. Interestingly, we still don't learn and the mistakes continue to
    be repeated. What is it that is being missed out? The policies, acts, SOPs , etc. do
    adequately cover the broader aspects, however, at the basic or field level the
    actual working hands have got no organized knowledge to handle every type of
    situation. And the only way that every kind of situation can be covered is by
    spreading awareness to each and every citizen, further to keep on and on drilling it
    till it is understood like the back of one's hand.
    It is this "Many a Slip Twixt the Cup and the Lip" that Wing Commander
    Dinesh Vaswani would be covering in the expert talk utilizing a large number of

    real life situations. The talk covers some basics of Disasters, an insight into Indian
    Air Force structure and operations, while providing knowledge on the areas where
    mistakes are made and methods to eliminate them....Community Based Disaster
    Management.
