hey mate ,here is your answer

disaster is an unplanned event in which the needs of the affected community outweigh the available resources. A disaster occurs somewhere in the world almost daily, but these events vary considerably in scope, size, and context. Large-scale disasters with numerous casualties are relatively unusual events. Certain widely publicized disasters, including events such as the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, and the Boston Marathon bombing, have focused people’s attention on disaster planning and preparedness. Disasters are becoming more frequent, and the number of persons affected is also increasing. This greater morbidity is attributable not only to the greater number of events, but also to population dynamics, location, and susceptibilities.

Answer:

{\bold{\red{\huge{Your\:Answer}}}}

Explanation:

Disaster preparedness refers to measures taken to prepare for and

reduce the effects of disasters.

That is, to predict and, where possible, prevent disasters, mitigate

their impact on vulnerable populations, and respond to and effectively

cope with their consequences.

The “bedrock” level of emergency planning is the municipal level

or local area. This is because, however extensive a disaster may be, the

theater of operations for managing and responding to it is always local.

However, if local resources are overwhelmed, it becomes necessary

to move up the scale of response to inter-municipal, regional, national, or

even international responses.

Each of these is associated with a threshold of capability, which is

determined by the availability of trained personnel, expertise, equipment,

supplies, communications, vehicles, and buildings.

If the magnitude of the emergency exceeds or overwhelms

local capabilities, then it is necessary to invoke higher levels of response.

However, these should always aim to reinforce, not supplant

the local ability to respond to the emergency.
