• Disaster preparedness involves a series of pre-emptive actions designed to enhance response capabilities. Early warnings are critical for timely action, while emergency plans provide a structured approach to response. Maintaining inventories ensures that necessary resources (like food, medical supplies, shelter materials) are available. Temporary evacuations are a direct measure to protect lives and assets from immediate danger. These activities are distinct from long-term recovery efforts, which occur after the disaster has passed and focus on rebuilding and restoring normalcy.
