Question

importance of awareness in mitigation of disasters

Answer 1

Answer:

Awareness, education, preparedness, and prediction and warning systems can reduce the disruptive impacts of a natural disaster on communities. Mitigation measures such as adoption of zoning, land-use practices, and building codes are needed, however, to prevent or reduce actual damage from hazards.

You can also follow these steps:

Develop and rehearse a family disaster plan—what to do if you are forced to leave home.

Include a communications plan—how to contact each other if you become separated.

When severe weather threatens, turn on your radio to a local station to stay informed of imminent danger.
