Emergency Response refers to the organized and coordinated approach to addressing and managing the consequences of emergency situations. It involves a set of actions taken by designated responders, which can include first responders like police, fire, and medical personnel, as well as other organizations and agencies, to provide immediate assistance and support during emergencies such as natural disasters, accidents, or health crises. The primary aim of emergency response is to protect lives, property, and the environment by effectively managing resources, communication, and logistics during and after an emergency event. This process includes assessing the situation, deploying resources, providing medical care, evacuating individuals if necessary, and restoring order and safety. Emergency response plans are typically developed in advance to ensure readiness and effectiveness in real-time scenarios.
