Explanation:

First Question (Disaster Preparedness Component)

• Option a: Analyzing past disasters only is insufficient as preparedness needs proactive steps, not just analysis.
• Option b: Recovery measures are post - disaster, not part of preparedness (which is pre - disaster).
• Option c: Training and drills before a disaster help people be ready to respond, which is core to preparedness.
• Option d: Economic stability in high - risk areas is not a direct component of disaster preparedness (focus is on response readiness, not economic aspects).

• Option a: Drills before a disaster are part of preparedness, not response.
• Option b: Assessing hazard mapping results is part of preparedness/planning, not response.
• Option c: Emergency response focuses on immediate action like providing aid and distributing resources during the disaster.
• Option d: Rebuilding infrastructure is part of recovery (post - disaster), not response.

Answer:

c. Training and drills before a disaster
