Emergency preparedness is the proactive planning and coordination required to respond effectively to emergencies such as:
Natural disasters (floods, wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes)
Health emergencies (pandemics, disease outbreaks)
Man-made incidents (cyberattacks, power grid failures, civil unrest)
Workplace and community hazards (fires, chemical spills, infrastructure breakdowns)
Preparedness saves lives, protects property, and ensures faster recovery.
