Answer 1

Answer:

A. ഒന്നും മൂന്നും

Information, education, and training are fundamental to non-structural preparedness, as they empower individuals and communities with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand risks, prepare for disasters, and respond effectively. Equally vital is the human element of warning systems; it's not just about the technology, but ensuring that warnings are clearly communicated, understood, and acted upon by the public. This involves community drills, clear communication channels, and public awareness campaigns that translate warnings into appropriate actions, thereby maximizing their life-saving potential and minimizing disaster impacts.
