    With the advent of the metro construction, mishaps and accidents around Hulimavu
    is rising at an unprecedented rate. This situation makes the availability of emergency
    services around the area extremely imperative. Emergency services in this scenario
    refers to the availability of hospitals and clinics, the safety measures provided by
    residential buildings as well as convenience stores and the promptness of the
    services of the ambulance, fire department and police department in the area.

    Several hostels have complete emergency measures set up, ranging from fire alarms
    to first aid boxes. However, there are still a few hostels which are in the process of
    establishing the emergency requirements. Marillac Study House, one of the hostels
    in Hulimavu is in the process of setting up emergency services in the hostel. Every
    room and floor is provided with a fire alarm. There are also two fire exits on every
    floor. With respect to fire engines and ambulances, they use the city provided
    services which are reliable.

    Residential buildings see better provisions for safety and emergency services. One of
    these buildings, Windsor Heritage has a well set plan for these services. Aside from
    the provisions for fire extinguishers and fire exits, they have also paid attention to
    the well functioning of their lifts. If the doors to the lift are not closed properly, it
    will not move until somebody closes the door for the safety of the residents.

    Most convenience stores also have adequate provisions of emergency services,


    barring a few. More Store, a convenience store in Hulimavu has its emergency exit
    located on the left of the store. However, they have only a single emergency exit
    which could prove problematic in situations of emergency as there would be a
    stampede near the exit.

    Hulimavu also has a number of small hospitals and clinics in the case of an
    emergency. Hulimavu Nano Hospital has its emergency exits located on the top
    floor of the hospital which may be difficult for the patients and staff in the hospital
    to access. The stairs are also narrow which makes it harder for people to climb to the
    top floor. They are currently in talks with the local police station to improve this
    situation but steps are yet to be taken to remodel the hospital’s emergency services.

    Having assessed the situation of emergency services available at present in


    Hulimavu, the condition can definitely be improved. There are a lot of requirements
    such as first aid and addressing accidents due to traffic and metro construction
    which have not been looked into but are a major cause of distress. If these issues are
    looked into, the emergency services in Hulimavu can be improved tremendously.
