Disaster Management
Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural or man-made disasters to minimise harm and loss.
Core concept
Disaster management includes preparedness (planning before a disaster), response (actions during a disaster), and recovery (rebuilding after).
How it works
Preparedness measures include creating emergency kits, having evacuation plans, and knowing safety procedures for different disasters.
Why it matters
During a disaster, following official instructions, staying calm, and helping others when safe are important response actions.
Key detail
Recovery involves rebuilding communities, providing aid to affected people, and learning from the disaster to improve future preparedness.
