Emergency Preparedness and Response
Emergency Preparedness and Response involves planning and actions taken to effectively manage potential emergencies, such as natural disasters, health crises, or man-made incidents. It includes identifying risks, creating emergency plans, and ensuring access to essential resources. Preparedness focuses on education and training to equip individuals and communities to respond efficiently when emergencies occur. Response involves the immediate actions taken to protect lives, provide assistance, and restore safety. Successful emergency preparedness and response rely on collaboration among government agencies, organizations, and the public to minimize harm and recover swiftly from crises.
