Pandemics and Crisis Management
Pandemics are widespread outbreaks of infectious diseases that affect large populations across multiple regions or countries. Crisis management involves planning, organizing, and implementing strategies to address such emergencies efficiently. During a pandemic, this includes actions like surveillance, healthcare coordination, public communication, and resource allocation to limit the disease's spread and impact. Effective crisis management helps protect public health, maintain essential services, and reduce economic and social disruption, ensuring a coordinated response that adapts to evolving situations.
