Prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery are the five steps of Emergency Management.

The Joint Commission has identified a hospital emergency operation plan’s six key elements: communication, resources and assets, safety and security, staff responsibilities, utilities, and clinical and support activities.

• Prevention. Actions taken to avoid an incident.
• Mitigation.
• Preparedness.
• Response.
• Recovery.

(1) Reduce, or avoid, losses from hazards; (2) Assure prompt assistance to victims; (3) Achieve rapid and effective recovery. Disaster management aims to reduce, or avoid, the potential losses from hazards, assure prompt and appropriate assistance to victims of disaster, and achieve rapid and effective recovery.

Examples of mitigation strategies include: hazard specific control activities such as flood levees or bushfire mitigation strategies. design improvements to infrastructure or services. land use planning and design decisions that avoid developments and community infrastructure in areas prone to hazards.
