Disaster management involves a systematic approach to preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating the effects of disasters. It encompasses several key phases:
1. Prevention and Mitigation: Strategies to reduce the impact of disasters, such as building codes, land-use planning, and public education.
2. Preparedness: Developing plans and training for emergency response, including drills, community engagement, and resource allocation.
3. Response: Immediate actions taken to ensure safety, provide aid, and restore order during a disaster. This includes emergency services, evacuation plans, and communication systems.
4. Recovery: Efforts to restore communities to normalcy, including rebuilding infrastructure, providing mental health support, and economic recovery initiatives.
5. Continuous Improvement: Evaluating responses to improve future disaster management efforts, including updating plans and training based on lessons learned.
