Emergency management is often divided into four steps—readiness, response, recovery, and remediation. State and local government is involved in all four of these.
• Readiness involves prepositioning supplies and equipment and making sure that first responders are trained in what to do when an emergency occurs.
• Response involves getting the right people to the site in question as quickly as possible. Sometimes this is the most important step.
• Recovery involves everything that occurs immediately after an emergency event— the cleanup of debris, restoration of traffic patterns, initial stabilization of damaged infrastructure, and so on.
• Finally, remediation involves changing the design of communities and buildings to make them less vulnerable to future incidents.
