Preferred term

national planning for disasters  

Definition

  • The most fundamental level at which emergencies must be tackled is obviously the local level, for however large the disaster is, the local area is always the theater of operations. However, several thresholds of competence exist in relation to the possible magnitude of events. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; Planning for Disasters, National]
