Emergencies can happen at anytime and occur anywhere, sometimes without much warning. When an emergency happens, it does not respect boundries or socio economic status, but threatens public safety, the environment, property, the economy, critical infrastructure, and the health of the public. An emergency can also affect a person's ability to access basic needs, such as food, shelter, and health care services.
