Disaster management

Disaster management is when people get ready for bad things that could happen in their area. Just like how you might get ready for a rainy day by bringing an umbrella, disaster management helps communities get ready for things like floods, fires, earthquakes, and other bad things that can hurt people and homes.

First, special people called emergency responders get trained on what to do if there is a disaster. They might be police officers, firefighters, or paramedics. They know how to help people who might be hurt or trapped, put out fires, and keep everyone safe.

Next, people in the community make plans for what to do if there is a disaster. They might practice going to a specific place if there is a fire or flooding, or they might have special supplies like food, water, and blankets in case they can't leave their homes for a while.

Finally, everyone in the community works together to try to prevent disasters from happening. They might clear brush near their homes to prevent fires, or they might build walls to prevent floods. By working together and being prepared, people can stay safe even when bad things happen.
