Emergency management
Mitigation redirects here; for use of that term in criminal law, see
extenuating circumstances; in global warming, see
mitigation of global warming. Emergency management (or disaster management) is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing, supporting, and rebuilding
society when
natural or
human-made disasters occur. In general, any Emergency management is the continuous process by which all individuals, groups, and communities manage in an effort to avoid or ameliorate the impact of disasters resulting from the hazards. Actions taken depend in part on perceptions of
risk of those exposed. Effective emergency management relies on thorough integration of emergency plans at all levels of government and non-government involvement. Activities at each level (individual, group, community) affect the other levels. It is common to place the responsibility for governmental emergency management with the institutions for
civil defense or within the conventional structure of the
emergency services. In the private sector, emergency management is sometimes referred to as
business continuity planning.
