What is emergency preparedness?

Emergency preparedness is the proactive process of preparing for and responding to potential natural disasters, accidents, crises, and other types of emergencies. This involves identifying potential risks, developing a plan, and stocking up on necessary supplies or resources to help minimize the impact of any emergency that may occur. Effective emergency preparedness also involves being aware of potential threats and having the knowledge and skills required to respond quickly and effectively, including how to evacuate safely, provide first aid, and navigate a potentially dangerous situation. Ultimately, emergency preparedness is all about taking steps to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community in the event of an emergency.
