Disaster Mitigation – the lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards

and related disasters. Mitigation measures encompass engineering techniques and
hazard resilient construction as well as improved environmental policies and public
awareness (NDRRM)

Mitigation is the effort to reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact
of disasters. Stated plainly, mitigation can keep natural hazards, like flooding a nd
hurricanes, from having catastrophic impacts. Federal Emergency Management

Disaster Preparedness the knowledge and capacities developed by governments,

professional response and recovery organizations, communities and individuals to
effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from the impacts of likely, imminent or
current hazard events or conditions (RA 10121)
