When these emergencies or disasters occur they normally affect people and property, and have serious economic and social consequences. Hence there is an obvious and imperative need to take appropriate and timely action to mitigate these hazards and their possible effects. Major emergencies and disasters, whenever and wherever they occur place immediate and heavy pressures on those in government, those in statutory authoritites responsible for protection and preservation of life and property, and on those in any leadership or senior management position in industry, commerce or the community.
