Concept information
Preferred term
agency notification and mobilization
Definition
- Disasters and crises become defining events in a hazard cycle that is marked by four temporal stages: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. As such, primary agencies (e.g., law enforcement, medical, armed forces, city planners, governmental, contractors) strive to “decrease vulnerability to major disaster by taking measures to reduce casualties and exposure to damage and disruption or that provide passive protection during disaster impact.” In this way, mitigation strategies aim toward reducing hazard exposures and developing emergency response plans in the event of major disaster or crisis.
