Although all of the options are important,the most important aspect of any disaster management is to have a plan of prevention in place.Disaster prevention can eliminate or reduce tremendous pain,suffering,and loss of life that could occur if,for example,people were not evacuated from a coastal area before a hurricane.Having a plan in place sets the procedures for rescuing victims,evacuating facilities,and administering first aid and medical care.The National Incident Management System (NIMS)provides a consistent nationwide template to establish federal,state,tribal,and local governments and private sector and nongovernmental organizations to work together effectively and efficiently to prepare for,prevent,respond to,and recover from domestic incidents,regardless of cause,size,or complexity,including acts of catastrophic terrorism.NIMS benefits include a unified approach to incident management; standard command and management structures; and emphasis on preparedness,mutual aid,and resource management.
