Emergency operations refer to the coordinated efforts and activities undertaken by organizations and agencies to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of emergencies and disasters. This includes planning, training, and resource allocation to ensure effective response during incidents such as natural disasters, public health crises, or terrorist attacks. Emergency operations often involve multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profits, and community organizations, working together to protect lives, property, and the environment. The ultimate goal is to minimize the adverse effects of emergencies and facilitate a swift recovery.
