The Four Phases of Comprehensive Disaster Management
NDMD's mission is delivered through the four major stages of Comprehensive Disaster Management. Every programme, partnership and piece of communication ties back to one of these phases.
- Preparedness — equipping communities with the tools and knowledge to react before disaster strikes.
- Mitigation — reducing the impact of hazards through structural and non-structural measures.
- Response — immediate actions taken to save lives and protect property during an emergency.
- Recovery — restoring essential services and rebuilding for a more resilient future.
