TYPES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT
THERE ARE FOUR MAJOR STEPS IN MANAGING A DISASTER.It is also called as emergency management .
MITIGATION – This step involves reducing the impact of the disaster or eliminating it completely.It helps to reduce loss of property and lives.
PREPAREDNESS- As the name suggests one must be prepared to face the consequence caused by the disaster. This also includes training and exercise. Hence this process needs more safety and security measures.
RESPONSE – This describes the action taken in response to the results caused by the disaster therefore more resources are needed for this process.
