Answer 1

Answer:

A. ഒന്ന് മാത്രം

The Disaster Management Cycle consists of distinct phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. DMEx are integral to the 'Preparedness Phase,' which focuses on activities undertaken before a disaster occurs to increase the capacity to respond effectively. This phase includes developing plans, training personnel, stockpiling resources, and conducting exercises like DMEx to ensure that when a disaster strikes, the response is swift, coordinated, and effective, minimizing its impact.
