storm response
Disaster management effort
Storm response refers to the coordinated actions taken before, during, and after a severe weather event—preparation, emergency services, evacuation, and recovery efforts.
The term appears most often in official contexts: The city's storm response was criticized after widespread flooding.
It encompasses everything from utility crews restoring power to disaster relief distribution.
