Radiological Emergency Preparedness

Radiological Emergency Preparedness involves planning and actions taken to protect people and the environment in case of a radiation incident, such as a nuclear power plant accident or improper handling of radioactive materials. It includes developing safety protocols, monitoring radiation levels, informing the public, and establishing evacuation or sheltering procedures. The goal is to minimize health risks, ensure rapid response, and provide accurate communication during emergencies. This preparedness is carried out by government agencies, nuclear facilities, and communities working together to ensure safety and effective response if a radiological emergency occurs.
