Preferred term

research-based disaster planning  

Definition

  • Government agencies and first responders often rely on a set of assumptions when responding to disasters and emergencies. A long history of disaster research suggests that these assumptions are often flawed, and that first responders can use empirical research in disasters and crises to better inform disaster planning.
