How do you mitigate and prevent emergency situations?
Mitigation in emergency management means the steps taken to prevent all possible hazards that may lead towards a disaster. The mitigation phase of emergency management is unique because it focuses on long-term tasks that are effective at reducing or eliminating any risk of a disaster from occurring. Mitigation is part of four phases of emergency management: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. After the recovery phase, mitigation may begin again as a part of the recovery process. The first step in mitigation is to identify risks. This is usually done by finding a potential hazard and then examining it to determine the chances of it causing a disaster and who is vulnerable to the disaster. For example, if there is a catastrophic earthquake, but it occurs in the middle of the desert where nobody lives, then there is no risk involved.
What is the difference between mitigation and prepardness?
Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola (2008) discuss the difference between mitigation and preparedness in their book Introduction to Emergency Management 3rd edition by stating, "Preparedness deals with the functional aspects of emergency management, such as the response to and recovery from a disaster, whereas mitigation attempts to lessen these effects through predisaster actions, as simple as striving to create "disaster-resistant" communities" (p. 185).

The emergency manager has the primary responsibility for mitigation?
A. False According to the FEMA IS-1 Emergency Manager: An Orientation to the Position, Int 3: Mitigation: First, we said that most mitigation efforts are the primary responsibility of other departments of local government, not often the direct responsibility of the emergency manager. Second, that does not mean that the emergency manager lacks a role in mitigation. On the contrary, the emergency manager has crucial roles in mitigation-that of motivator, coordinator, and monitor. We will examine these in more detail. One of your roles in mitigation is to be the conscience of the community in matters related to emergencies. This translates into two major tasks. 􀃂 You must be alert to the various types of hazards that threaten your community. 􀃂 You must constantly monitor opportunities to reduce and eliminate the risks from these hazards. You are the person with the broad scope of responsibility to help the community to do all it can to reduce potential harm to people and property. Remember, your job is to translate comprehensive emergency management into meaningful programs for your community.
