Category talk:Disaster preparedness in the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure this is really under the correct term. I've used disaster preparation to be consistent but emergency planning is in more common use I think. Secretlondon 10:26, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree. 'Preparedness' is a term common in the US rather than the UK, where 'disaster management' or as you say, 'emergency planning' are favoured. Green Fairy 17:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

We have had this discussion in the wikiproject on disaster management. We now refer to the science as emergency management which includes mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Please do come and join us in the wikiproject! --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 18:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
