Emergecy preparedness:
Emergency management is the continuous process by which all individuals; all groups and all communities manage hazards and the effects of disaster. The procedure involves mitigation and preparedness (pre-event/event) and reaction and recovery (event/post-event). Actions taken depend in part on perceptions of risk and event-generated needs; effectiveness depends in part on how well activities are integrated. Activities at each level (individual, group, community) affect the other levels.
