all-hazards approach

The All Hazards Approach is a strategy used in emergency management that prepares for a wide range of potential disasters, including natural events (like hurricanes and earthquakes) and human-made incidents (such as terrorist attacks or pandemics). Instead of focusing on specific threats, this method emphasizes building flexible systems and responses that can adapt to various situations. It involves planning, training, and resource allocation to ensure communities are better equipped to handle any type of emergency, thereby enhancing overall resilience and safety for people and property.
