Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Preparedness refers to the planning and training activities that individuals and organizations undertake to prepare for potential emergencies or disasters. This involves identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and developing strategies to mitigate those risks, ensure safety, and maintain essential functions during and after an emergency. It includes creating response plans, conducting drills and training sessions, stockpiling necessary supplies, and establishing communication protocols. The goal of emergency preparedness is to enhance resilience and ensure effective and coordinated responses to emergencies, thereby reducing the impact on lives, property, and the environment. This concept applies to various contexts, including natural disasters, public health crises, and man-made incidents.
