This Disaster Prevention Policy was approved by the relevant Authorities
Since mass transit transportation based on Metro systems may suffer extensive damages in the event of abnormal situations and emergencies It is essential therefore that disaster/emergency incidents management measures are installed as part of the system to minimize the effects of such events
Particularly, so as to ensure that passengers can be evacuated to safe areas during emergencies, maintenance and system checks must be constantly performed to ensure that the disaster/emergency facilities will operate properly at all times It is also vital that Ho Chi Minh metro staffs are trained to cope with every possible situation as they must lead and guide the passengers to safety, and will also form the first level of emergency and rescue personnel before the arrival at the scene of the emergency services
Conceivable abnormal and emergency situations and the corresponding measures are briefly presented as follows:
Conceivable abnormal situations susceptible by the Urban Mass Rapid Transit are as follows:
Regarding railway terrorism, ever since 911 of 2001 and subsequent railway bombings
in Moscow, Madrid, and London, efforts are made by the respective Government and authorities towards to thwart terrorist attacks on railways is by early detection and increased vigilance, and physical improvements of the railway infrastructure and on rolling stock is hardly recognizable, not to mention no revision to the design standard Hence, the counter terrorism effort could be planned and implemented without making any special consideration of designing an extra durable infrastructure, and adopt practical precautionary measures implemented by major MRT operators before the inauguration of the MRT services

CHAPTER 2 BASIS OF disaster/emergency incidents MANAGEMENT POLICIES
POLICY
This Disaster Prevention Policy is based on the Basic Law on Natural Disasters in Japan (the Basic Law) for the basis of all disaster-related legislation, disaster/emergency incident control executive administrations, and relevant procedures of disaster/emergency incident control The Basic Law was enacted in
1961 which was instigated following the devastating Ise Bay Typhoon Disaster of 1959
The objective of the Disaster Prevention Policy is to protect the lives, body and asset of the public from natural disaster by establishing a comprehensive and planned disaster/emergency incident control mechanism that would sustain order and secure public welfare in events of natural disaster Such mechanism includes:
- establishment of disaster/emergency incident control structure within the MRT System in coordination with the relevant Authorities,
- clarify where the responsibility lies,
- prepare disaster/emergency incident readiness plan,
- prevention of disaster/emergency incident,
- response to disaster/emergency incident,
- disaster/emergency incident recovery, and
- provision of fiscal and monetary measures

The fire safety management is critical issue for the operation of metro project Especially, the underground fire safety management is most important for the project operation and it is mainly explained in the chapter 3 The Contractor shall make a fire safety management plan based on this Appendix 16
Standards to be applied for underground fire safety management are item 16, 18, 18-1, 18-2, 18-3, 18-4, 18-5, 18-6, 21, 27-1, 27-2, 27-3, 27-4, 27-5, 27-6, 27-7, 27-8, 27-9, 27-10, 27-11 and 27-12 in Appendix 15 of GS in Vol.3 and relevant standards/codes

3.2.1 Fire Load and Evaluation Methods of Smoke
The essential issue of fire safety management is how the passengers escape safely The safety of the passenger is evaluated whether the passenger escape to safe place without/less influence of smoke or not The characteristics of the fire are different by the origin of fire The fire loads are divided into two types One is normal fire and another is fire by arson with fuel According to the difference of the characteristics of fire, the evacuation of passenger is evaluated as follows
(1) In case of normal fire
The origin of normal fire is assumed as the fire from motor or other auxiliary machine under floor of rolling stock Other case of the normal fire is the fire from the small shop (KIOSK) in the station Usually, the power of the normal fire is quite small and its temperature is low in the beginning stage and it becomes larger after the flashover occurs The time is relatively long until flashover take place The smoke of normal fire diffuses evenly and widely Therefore, the inhale of smoke is not considered and main factor for safety evacuation is visibility of the passengers
Figure 3.1 Image of Normal Fire Load Model
The visibility of the passenger in smoke condition is determined by the smoke density (extinction coefficient Cs) The smoke density is defined by the following formula (Lambert-Beer Law)
Herein, l is the required visibility (15m to 20m) for evacuation and τ (%) is permeability (13-22% equivalent to Cs=0.1m-1)
Figure 3.2 Smoke Density and Required Visibility for Smooth Evacuation
11 0 ) 100 ln(
Trang 20Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Section (Line 1) Package-3: (E&M, Rolling Stock, Trackwork, Maintenance)
According to research and experiment in Japan, the smoke density (Cs) shall be 0.1m-1
or smaller to secure the visibility of 15m to 20m for smooth evacuation Under this condition, the passenger could evacuate without loosing their walking speed The procedure for the evaluation of evacuation is as follows
1) The time (t) which is required for evacuation is calculated
2) Smoke density (Cs) at a time (t) of completion of evacuation is calculated If Cs is 0.1m-1 or less, the condition for the smooth evacuation is secured
Detail of the fire load and calculation procedures of MLIT is indicated in clause 3.5
(2) In case of fire by arson with fuel
The power of the fire by arson is strong and constant from beginning The temperature
of smoke is high Smoke will move as strata along the ceiling and it will descend Therefore, it is evaluated by the descending speed of the smoke layer from ceiling For the safe evacuation, the space for the evacuation shall be secured It is at least 2.0m from the bottom of the smoke layer to the floor
Figure 3.3 Image of Fire Load Model by Arson
Figure 3.4 Required Space for the Evacuation in case of Fire by Arson
The procedure for the evaluation of evacuation is as follows
1) The time (t) which is required for evacuation is calculated
2) If Space from the bottom of the smoke stratification to the floor exceeds 2.0 m at a time (t) of completion of evacuation, the condition for the safe evacuation is secured
Detail of the fire load and calculation procedures of MLIT is indicated in clause 3.5
Trang 21Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Section (Line 1) Package-3: (E&M, Rolling Stock, Trackwork, Maintenance)
3.3.1 Fire Location and Target Passenger
In order to secure the safety of the passenger, it is necessary to consider the structure
of the station and the location of the fire point According to the location of the fire, the passenger which is the target for the study of the evacuation is summarized in the table 3.1
Table 3.1 Assumed Fire Location and Study Target Passengers
Note: Yes: Evacuation shall be considered
No: The evacuation is secured from the following reasons
*1 Safety of the passenger on platform and concourse is secured by the smoke exhaust of the tunnel ventilation
*2 Evacuation of the passengers on platform and concourse is completed before arriving of the train on fire
*3 In general, the width of the stair from concourse to ground level is wider than that of platform Moreover, taking into consideration evacuation time of the passengers on platform, the passenger on concourse does not hamper the evacuation of the passenger on platform Therefore, it is not necessary to study for the passenger on concourse
*4 The train will pass the station on fire
*5 The habitable rooms is protected by the fire compartment
*6 The smoke in tunnel is exhausted by the tunnel ventilation and the safety of the passengers are ensured
3.3.2 Fire Location, Assumed Fire Load and Safe Haven
In addition to the target passengers in Table 3.1, the fire cases which require the study for evacuation time is listed in Table 3.2, taking into consideration fire characteristics (Normal and Arson)

Table 3.2 Assumed Fire Location and Safe Haven
Trang 23Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Section (Line 1) Package-3: (E&M, Rolling Stock, Trackwork, Maintenance)
*1 It is assumed that passengers on platform had evacuated completely guided
by station staff before the train arrived
*2 The study is done only for passengers on train, because the passengers on platform have already evacuated before the train arrived Therefore, this case is same as the assumed fire *4 in Case 2 (Rolling stock fired by arson at station)
*3 The normal fire on rolling stock at station is similar to the assumed fire condition of *1 in Case 1 (Rolling stock on normal fire run to the next station) taking into account fire characteristic and evacuation time of passenger on platform when the fire is detected
*4 This assumed fire condition is similar to that of *2 in Case 1
Consequently, the Package-1 Contractor shall study 6 conditions (a in Case 1, b in Case 2, Case 3 and Case 4 in Table 3.2 to confirm the safety of the passengers in event of fire, and submit to the Employer’s Representative for his review

Figure 3.6 Fire by Arson on Rolling Stock at Station
(3) Case 3
The studies of evacuation time are required for both cases
Figure 3.7 Normal Fire/Fire by Arson at KIOSK on Platform
(4) Case 4
In case of fire on KIOSK at concourse, the dispatcher in OCC notifies the fire to driver and commands him not to stop the station Therefore, it is not necessary to consider evacuation of passengers on the train
Figure 3.8 Normal Fire/Fire by Arson at KIOSK on Concourse
Trang 25Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Section (Line 1) Package-3: (E&M, Rolling Stock, Trackwork, Maintenance)
(5) Case 5
If the train on fire stops in tunnel, evacuation target is only the passengers on the train
It is assumed that the tunnel ventilation system keeps height of smoke layer above a certain level and secures space for the evacuation (see clause 3.9 for ventilation operation) Therefore, the study of evacuation time is not required
Figure3.9 Normal Fire/Fire by Arson/Cable Fire on Rolling Stock Stopped in Tunnel
Trang 26Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Section (Line 1) Package-3: (E&M, Rolling Stock, Trackwork, Maintenance)
The definition of the safe haven is the place where the evacuated passengers are not influenced by smoke The completion of Evacuation means that the evacuated passengers enter into the safe haven
The Package-1 Contractor shall install smoke and/or fire protection compartment between platform and concourse in order to prevent the smoke diffusion and secure safe haven The protection compartment shall be shutter type which descends and keeps clearance for evacuation space during evacuation of the passengers After the completion of Evacuation confirmed, the protection compartment shall be closed to keep the Concourse as safe haven by protecting from the fire and make passengers escape to the ground level
The Package-1 Contractor shall install the protection compartment between Concourse and the ground level too
Photographs in Figure 3.10 show an example of the protection compartment

3.5.3 Block at Fire Point with Full Height Platform Screen Door (PSD)
In the clause 3.5.1, the block at fire point for the standard station without the full height platform screen door (PSD) is explained On the other hand, in the Project, the full height PSD will be installed in the underground stations in order to enhance efficiency
of air conditioner
The full height PSD will prevent the current of smoke and it must be taken into account for the study of evacuation in case of fire
(1) Study for Normal Fire on Rolling Stock
In case of Normal fire, the origin of fire is assumed as motor or other facilities under floor of the rolling stock Therefore, the smoke will not diffuse to the passenger space
of the rolling stock and the block at fire point is defined as the following figure
The tunnel ventilation system shall be designed and installed to exhaust smoke longitudinally through tunnel for this case
Figure3.17 Block at Fire Point of Normal Fire on Rolling Stock with full height PSD
(2) Study for the Fire by Arson on Rolling Stock
In case of the fire by arson, the origin of fire is assumed as 4 litter gasoline in the passenger space of the rolling stock Therefore, the smoke will be defused to the platform when both doors of the rolling stock and the full height PSD are opened for the evacuation of passengers The block at fire point is defined as following figure

In order to ensure and plan the safe environment of underground station and tunnel according to these above evaluations, the nonflammable material should be used for the underground stations, tunnel and rolling stocks as much as possible In the following clause, the regulation of nonflammable material use for the underground stations, tunnel and rolling stocks is required based on the standards in Appendix 15 of
GS in Vol.3 If the Package-1 and/or Package-3 Contractor intends to use nonflammable materials defined in other standards, he have to obtain necessary approval from relevant Authorities
3.6.1 Use of Nonflammable Materials in Underground Station and Tunnel
(1) Use of Nonflammable Materials for Structure, etc
1) Materials for Structure and Interior Finish
The materials for the structure and the interior finish in the station and tunnel shall be nonflammable in order to prevent the occurrence and spread of the fire
Structural materials mean wall, beam, slab, column, stair, etc Interior finish material means the material which covers and finishes the surface of structural material inside station
Under the normal fire condition, the nonflammable material shall meet the following requirement for 20 minutes
a) The material shall not burn
b) The material shall not generate deformation, melting and crack which is hazardous for fire protection
c) The material shall not emit hazardous smoke and toxic gas
