PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY

Disaster Mitigation consists of actions taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risks and impacts of disasters on people, property, and the environment. The goal is to minimize damage and disruption by proactively addressing vulnerabilities before disasters occur. Mitigation is a critical component of disaster management, complementing preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.

Property damage mitigation is crucial because it involves proactive measures to prevent or minimize damage to structures, assets, and infrastructure during disasters or emergencies.
