What might be a goal of emergency management during a fire incident?

A primary goal of emergency management during a fire incident is to ensure safety and increase public evacuation readiness. This involves implementing effective strategies to protect lives and property by safeguarding individuals in the affected area, coordinating evacuations, and providing clear instructions to the public regarding safety protocols. The emphasis on safety and evacuation is critical because timely response and awareness can significantly reduce risk to civilians and emergency responders alike.

Promoting public evacuation readiness means ensuring that community members are informed about their options, routes for evacuation, and the resources available to them during the incident, which directly contributes to minimizing harm and chaos during an emergency. This approach can enhance overall community resilience and preparedness for future incidents as well.
