Solution

The correct option is C Government level
The destructive impact of a disaster can be mitigated and managed at several levels. The public needs to be aware and well-prepared to deal with a disaster. Community (local) governments also play a significant role in disaster management. The local government level initiate emergency management plans after a disaster. Local law specifies a chain of command in emergencies. The State agencies like central and state governments coordinate disaster management activities. They also provide the financial resources to deal with its aftermath.
