Fundamentals of Emergency Management
Emergency management is a course which deals with risks and how to avoid those risks when they arise, especially those risks that pose a consequence to the communities, specific regions, the whole country or the entire continent. This management is a continuous process of preparing for, responding to, mitigating, as well as recovering from an absolute emergency. Planning is very critical, but it is not the only element. Therefore, alongside plan are other vital functions such as training, testing equipment, conducting drills, along with coordinating activities with the society.
