The on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia defines emergency management (or disaster management) as the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing for disaster before it occurs, disaster response as well as supporting, and rebuilding society after natural or human-made disasters have occurred. In general, any emergency management is the continuous process by which all individuals, groups, and communities manage hazards in an effort to avoid or ameliorate the impact of disasters resulting from the hazards.
