Emergency Preparedness refers to the planning and actions taken to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. This involves assessing potential risks, developing response plans, training individuals and organizations, stockpiling essential supplies, and establishing communication strategies. The aim of emergency preparedness is to minimize the impact of disasters on individuals, communities, and infrastructure, ensuring a coordinated and effective response when an emergency occurs.
