Disaster Preparedness

Disaster Preparedness refers to the proactive planning and measures taken to prepare for and mitigate the impacts of various types of disasters, such as natural disasters (like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes) and man-made disasters (such as industrial accidents or acts of terrorism). It involves assessing risks, developing response plans, training individuals and organizations, ensuring proper resources and equipment are in place, and educating communities on how to respond effectively when disasters occur. The goal of disaster preparedness is to enhance resilience, minimize harm, protect lives and property, and ensure a swift recovery in the aftermath of a disaster. This process often includes creating emergency kits, establishing communication plans, and conducting drills to ensure that everyone is aware of their roles and responsibilities during an emergency.
