Disaster Preparedness

Disaster preparedness refers to the measures taken to prepare for and mitigate the effects of natural or man-made disasters. It involves planning, training, and organizing resources to ensure that individuals, communities, and organizations can effectively respond to emergencies. This includes creating emergency plans, conducting drills, educating the public about risks and safety protocols, and establishing communication systems. The goal of disaster preparedness is to minimize harm to people, property, and the environment, and to facilitate a swift recovery following a disaster event. It emphasizes proactive strategies to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience in the face of potential threats.
