Disaster Management refers to the systematic process of preparing for, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating the impacts of disasters. It encompasses a wide range of activities that aim to minimize the adverse effects of disasters on communities, economies, and the environment. This process includes risk assessment, planning and preparedness, emergency response coordination, recovery efforts, and the implementation of strategies to reduce vulnerability to future disasters.
