Preventive Actions for Emergencies <br> Preventive actions for emergencies are typically outlined in policies, plans, and regulations to address potential sources of disasters. This includes both natural and man-made disasters, such as pandemics, environmental catastrophes, and technological disasters. In order to effectively manage these hazards, it is crucial to understand their causes and impacts. There is no evidence to suggest that the effects of natural, technological, and human-induced disasters differ. Enhancements in disaster research, such as utilizing computer systems and sensors, are identified as important for effective disaster risk management. Successful disaster risk reduction requires both institutional changes and community-based strategies. This issue of the Supplemental Research Bulletin focuses on the experience of people living in poverty, low-income, and low socioeconomic status during disasters. It is important for disaster methods to be well-proven and consider factors such as application scope, costs, implementation process, and expected risk reduction.
