Disaster Response

Disaster response refers to the actions taken to address the immediate impacts of a natural or man-made disaster. It encompasses emergency management efforts aimed at saving lives, protecting property, and meeting the basic needs of affected individuals and communities. This includes activities such as search and rescue operations, medical assistance, evacuation of those in danger, provision of shelter, food, water, and sanitation services. Disaster response is typically organized by governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and community groups, often in coordination with international aid organizations. The goal is to stabilize the situation, mitigate further harm, and facilitate recovery processes in the aftermath of a disaster.
