What is a disaster?
It is a serious impediment to the functioning of the community,
which exceeds its capacity to use its own resources. Disasters can
be caused by all kinds of natural, human or technical risks, as well
as a range of factors that have an impact on the community's
exposure and vulnerability.

Objectives:
Determine the risks ,roles, and responsibilities
for community preparation.
Describe the many sorts of dangers that affect
the community, individuals, health, and
infrastructure.
Execute personal and organizational preparation
activities
Disaster mitigation is a top priority.
Describes the procedures for protecting
individuals as well as property.
Find out about local alerts, cautions, and
evacuation routes.
Make sure that the facilities, personnel, and
individuals served are all prepared.

Disasters may and should be prevented. We can keep

hazards from becoming catastrophes by assisting
communities in being more prepared, reducing risks, and
becoming more resilient.

potential disasters.
REMEMBER
An essential element of disaster planning and response systems
is the level of emergency alert. They make it easier for individuals
and groups to take the appropriate protective measures, giving a
standardised way of expressing the severity and urgency of
crises. While alert level systems differ between countries and
areas, the following are some frequent instances of emergency
alert levels in catastrophe situations:

When alert levels are raised

Level 1 - Normal Condition is utilized as a baseline for
comparison.

Level 2 Advisory or Watch is a precautionary notice

that urges people and communities to keep aware and
prepared for a potential calamity.

degree 3 - Alert or Warning is a greater degree of risk

that necessitates immediate attention and action.

Level 4 - Emergency or Disaster is the highest level of

alert and indicates a serious threat to life, property,
and infrastructure.

Warning levels may be adjusted for certain types of disasters, such as

hurricanes, wildfires, floods and pandemics. To protect safety, citizens and
communities need to be aware of the local emergency alert system and
understand what action is being taken at each level. This will help them to
protect their safety in case of crisis.

EVALUATING A DISASTER PREPARATION PLAN IS IMPORTANT FOR
ENSURING ITS SUCCESS AND IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
IMPROVEMENT. HERE ARE VARIOUS STRATEGIES AND CONCERNS
FOR DOING SO.

The most important components of

this study are the steps for analyzing
a disaster preparation strategy.
Examining plan papers, conducting
out simulated drills, testing
communication systems, ensuring
resource readiness, carrying out
drills and simulations, and assessing
participant performance are all part
of these activities. Drills in a group
setting replicate crisis scenarios

without the use of real-world
resources. Evaluate resource communities can review the
readiness, execute drills and success of their disaster
simulations, and assess participant preparedness plans, identify
performance. Drills and simulations areas for improvement, and
are practical exercises used to assess improve their overall
the readiness and effectiveness of readiness to mitigate and
response activities such as respond to catastrophes by
evacuation drills, search and rescue
using evaluation tools.
simulations, medical response
exercises, or communication drills.

Always practice your plan in

your community or on the entire place at least thrice a
year. And give copy of your Disaster Preparedness plan to
the individuals.Conduct drills to evaluate the
preparedness plan's effectiveness.
Drills and simulations should be scheduled in order to
rehearse reaction actions, test communication systems,
and identify areas for improvement.
PREPAREDNESS CYCLE
Participate in joint drills and evaluations with local
emergency services and organizations.

Practice your strategy with your family on a regular basis

(every six months).

Every three months, check your disaster supplies kit.

Replace saved water and food every three months.

As changes occur, update any emergency contact

information.
 RECOVERY
Creating a disaster recovery preparation strategy is critical to facilitating an
efficient and successful recovery process following a disaster. Damage
assessment, prioritizing and decision-making, infrastructure and service
restoration, economic recovery, social and community recovery, continuity
planning, and recovery lessons learned are all important considerations.
Damage assessment entails conducting fast damage assessments and
establishing criteria for identifying the level of physical damage to
infrastructure, buildings, and vital facilities. Prioritization and decision-
making entail developing a framework for prioritizing recovery operations
depending on the severity and effect of the event. The restoration of
infrastructure and services includes establishing methods and processes
for repairing damaged infrastructure. Economic recovery entails examining
the economic effects of the disaster on enterprises, industries, and
livelihoods in the impacted area.

SOME PEOPLE MAY REQUIRE MORE CARE DURING AN

EMERGENCY; THUS, PREPARATION AHEAD OF TIME IS ESSENTIAL.
DON'T FORGET YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS!

DISASTERS CAN STRIKE AT ANY TIME, WITH NO WARNING. IT IS

IMPORTANT TO BE PREPARED TO SAFEGUARD YOUR HOUSE AND
FAMILY.

Always remember the emergency hotlines:
