Disaster Management

Disaster Management refers to the processes and activities aimed at preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating the impacts of disasters. This comprehensive approach encompasses planning and coordination among various stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and communities, to effectively handle emergencies caused by natural disasters (like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes) or man-made events (such as industrial accidents or terrorist attacks). Key components of disaster management include risk assessment, disaster preparedness, emergency response, recovery efforts, and mitigation strategies to reduce future risks. The goal is to minimize damage to people, property, and the environment, ensuring a swift and organized approach to managing crisis situations.
