Disaster Preparedness and Response Team

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes there are really big emergencies like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes? Well, a disaster preparedness and response team is a group of people who get ready for these big emergencies and help people when they happen.

First, the team makes plans for what to do in different types of emergencies. They figure out things like where to go, what to bring, and who is in charge. Then they practice these plans so they know what to do if a real emergency happens.

When a disaster does happen, the team quickly goes into action. They help people who need to be rescued, and they provide things like food, water, and medical care to those who are hurt or don't have anywhere safe to go. They also work to make sure everyone knows what to do to stay safe.

So you see, the disaster preparedness and response team is like a group of superheroes who are always ready to help in an emergency. They make sure everyone is safe and taken care of when something really big and scary happens.
