Emergency
preparedness and disaster services are common throughout
the United States—we take care of each other. By
whatever name, these activities encompass mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery related to any kind
of disaster, whether natural, technological, or national
security. Emergency preparedness means being
prepared for all kinds of emergencies, able to respond
in time of crisis to save lives and property, and to
help a community—or even a nation—return to normal life
after a disaster occurs.
