Disaster Management Plan
Disasters are events that seriously affect human life, property, and the environment. Natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.) as well as man-made disasters (fires, chemical accidents, electrical accidents, etc.) cause great losses to society. Therefore, a planning document containing preparedness and preventive measures is mandatory before disasters occur.
