Answer 1

The correct option is B Risk Management

• The four phases of Comprehensive Emergency management are Mitigation, Preparation, Response and Recovery.
  
• Mitigation i.e preventing future emergencies or minimizing their effects and it includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or reducing the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies.
  
• The preparation phase is centred around arranging or developing a plan to approach events after the incident crops up. Unlike prevention and preparation phase, response is undertaken during a disaster situation.
  
• The aim of the response procedures is to save lives, reduce victim's suffering and alleviate economical losses. Crucial for this phase is the implementation of the plans formulated and prepared prior to the event in the preparation phase.
  
• During a recovery phase, which takes place after an incident had occurred, affected community is assisted in restoration of concerned area.
