Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management

Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health EDRM) involves coordinated efforts to reduce risks, prepare for, respond to, and recover from health-related emergencies and disasters. It aims to protect communities from events like pandemics, natural disasters, or outbreaks by planning ahead, strengthening healthcare systems, and ensuring effective response and recovery. This approach integrates strategies across sectors to minimize health impacts, improve resilience, and save lives during crises. Ultimately, it promotes proactive measures to manage risks before they turn into health emergencies, ensuring communities are better equipped to handle and bounce back from such events.
