Disaster and Emergency Planning

Disaster and emergency planning in urban and regional planning involves preparing for and managing potential disasters, such as natural disasters, pandemics, or industrial accidents. Planners assess risks, develop response strategies, and design infrastructure to ensure safety and resilience in communities. This includes creating evacuation routes, emergency services coordination, and building regulations to withstand hazards. The goal is to minimize damage, facilitate recovery, and protect people's lives and property during emergencies, ensuring communities can respond effectively and recover quickly when crises occur.
