DISASTER MITIGATION AND  EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AT THE WORKPLACE 

Disaster?-As defined by the United Nations is  a sudden, calamitous event bringing  great damage, loss and  destruction and devastation to life and property. Mitigation-is the effort to reduce  loss of life and property by lessening  the impact of disasters. In order for mitigation to be effective, we need to take  action NOW, before the next disaster as this will help  reduce human and financial consequences later. Emergency-Something dangerous or  serious, such as an accident, that happens suddenly or  unexpectedly and needs fast action in order to avoid  harmful results. Disaster  and Emergency Management-This is  how we deal with the human,  material, economic or environmental impact of said  Disaster; it is the process of how we prepare  for, respond to and learn  from the effects of major failures.
