Emergency management agencies are organizations responsible for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters and emergencies. They work at local, state, and federal levels to coordinate resources, develop plans, and provide training to ensure communities are ready for various incidents, such as natural disasters, public health crises, or terrorist attacks. These agencies often collaborate with other organizations, including fire departments, police departments, and public health agencies, to create a comprehensive response strategy. They also engage in public education campaigns to inform citizens about safety measures and emergency procedures, helping to build resilience within communities.
