Emergency management (or disaster management) is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing for disaster before it occurs, disaster response (e.g., emergency evacuation, quarantine, mass decontamination, etc.), and 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. Actions taken depend in part on perceptions of risk of those exposed. Effective emergency management relies on thorough integration of emergency plans at all levels of government and non-government involvement. Activities at each level (individual, group, community) affect the other levels. It is common to place the responsibility for governmental emergency management with the institutions for civil defense or within the conventional structure of the emergency services. However, emergency management actually starts at the lowest level and only increases to the next higher organizational level after the current levels resources have been exhausted. In the private sector, emergency management is sometimes referred to as business continuity planning. Emergency Management is one of a number of terms which, since the end of the Cold War, have largely replaced Civil defense, whose original focus was protecting civilians from military attack. Modern thinking focuses on a more general intent to protect the civilian population in times of peace as well as in times of war. Another current term, Civil Protection is widely used within the European Union and refers to government-approved systems and resources whose task is to protect the civilian population, primarily in the event of natural and human-made disasters. Within EU countries the term Crisis Management emphasises the political and security dimension rather than measures to satisfy the immediate needs of the civilian population. An academic trend is towards using the term disaster risk reduction, particularly for emergency management in a development management context. This focuses on the mitigation and preparedness aspects of the emergency cycle (see below). From Wikipedia under the

I live in Southern California and I have an emergency preparedness store, but I cannot keep water. I understand that water should be rotated like all food products, but there has to be a way of storing it longer than I am currently able to. Thanks to anyone with an answer to this.

Q. I need help finding a website that sells Emergency Preparedness food stuff that can take of about 4 people for a year? and something that's not too expensive. Asked by Chicken - Sun Mar 28 16:33:17 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. A year's supply can be too expensive to buy all at once. By taking advantage of sales and closeouts you can build a kit for a month supply in a week, You can also get MRE's at most of the military surplus stores. We keep a two week supply on hand because we live in a Hurricane Zone. They can also be used for those who live in heavy snow zones as well.
