Emergency preparedness is a field of research and practice focused on preparing individuals, communities, organizations, and governments for potential emergencies or disasters. This includes developing plans, strategies, and resources to respond effectively and efficiently to a variety of emergency situations, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or public health crises. Research in this area explores methods for assessing risks, developing readiness plans, training personnel, coordinating resources, and evaluating response efforts to improve overall emergency preparedness and resilience. The goal of emergency preparedness research is to enhance the ability of communities and organizations to effectively respond to emergencies and minimize their impact on people and infrastructure.
