Disaster Preparedness

Disaster preparedness refers to the strategies and actions taken to anticipate, mitigate, and respond to potential disasters, whether they are natural or man-made. It involves creating plans and systems to ensure safety and minimize risks to individuals, communities, and infrastructure before a disaster occurs. This includes training, resource allocation, communication systems, evacuation routes, emergency supplies, and public awareness campaigns. The goal of disaster preparedness is to enhance resilience and improve the capacity to respond effectively when a disaster strikes, ultimately reducing the impact on lives and property.
