Essential Services

Essential services refer to crucial public services that are necessary for the health, safety, and well-being of a community. These include services like healthcare, public safety (police and fire services), sanitation, water supply, food distribution, and energy supply. During emergencies, such as natural disasters or pandemics, maintaining these services is vital to support the population's needs and ensure stability. Governments often prioritize these services to protect lives and maintain order, especially when regular operations are disrupted.
