To make sure rescuers are equipped to handle a range of situations, authorities are strengthening training in all-hazards incident management and holding frequent drills. To improve reaction and communication, fire, police, and medical services all participate in coordinated drills.
Emergency services are modernizing their community engagement initiatives and educating the public on safe evacuation practices, emergency planning, and fire prevention. The goal of these programs is to enable locals to report risks as soon as they occur and take preventative measures.
