Disaster Response refers to the organized efforts and actions taken by various agencies, organizations, and individuals to address the immediate needs and effects following a natural or human-made disaster. The primary goal of disaster response is to provide emergency relief and support to affected populations, ensuring their safety and well-being while managing the aftermath of the crisis.

This process typically involves the mobilization of resources such as personnel, equipment, and supplies to carry out essential activities, including search and rescue operations, medical assistance, shelter provision, food distribution, and restoration of basic services. Disaster response may be coordinated at local, national, or international levels, involving government entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), humanitarian agencies, and community groups.

Effective disaster response requires thorough planning, rapid deployment of resources, effective communication, and collaboration among various stakeholders to ensure timely and efficient assistance. It aims not only to alleviate immediate suffering but also to facilitate recovery and rehabilitation in the long term.
