Disaster response is a dynamic and comprehensive set of actions taken before, during, and after a disaster to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety, and meet the basic needs of people affected. It is not limited to immediate actions but often extends to medium and long-term recovery phases to build resilience and restore normalcy. The primary goals are humanitarian: protecting life, health, and dignity, and alleviating suffering.
