• B. 1, 4
• C. 2, 4

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 2, 3

Effective disaster management is inherently a multi-level responsibility. Disasters often impact local communities first, requiring immediate local response, but they can quickly overwhelm local capacities, necessitating support from state and central levels. This layered approach ensures resources are pooled, expertise is shared, and a coordinated response can be mounted, leading to more efficient preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery efforts across all affected regions. It fosters a collective responsibility for community safety and resilience.
