Answer 1

Answer:

B. ഒന്നും രണ്ടും

Fostering general awareness among the community and volunteers is a critical, often underestimated, component of disaster preparedness. It empowers local stakeholders to take immediate and appropriate actions, reducing reliance on external aid during the initial chaotic phase of a disaster. This includes educating them on basic first aid for animals, evacuation procedures, setting up temporary shelters, and understanding the importance of biosecurity to prevent disease outbreaks, thus building resilient communities capable of self-help.
