Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Pre-disaster management
1. Disaster management is divided into pre-disaster and post-disaster parts.
2. Pre-disaster management lists identifying pro-disaster areas, using predictive and hazard maps, training and raising public awareness.
3. So these activities are pre-disaster management.
4. Rule out post-disaster management: that covers helping victims and setting up help centres after a disaster has struck.
