3. Enhanced Central Support: The central office staff continues to provide active guidance and support to field teams, ensuring coordinated and efficient emergency responses.
4. Prepositioning Emergency Shelters: A stock of emergency tents is maintained for rapid deployment, ensuring that displaced families have immediate shelter in crisis situations.
5. Readiness with Emergency Kits: Well-prepared emergency kits remain on standby, equipped with essential supplies to enable swift disaster response efforts.
