2. Public safety refers to the measures and
practices taken by government agencies and
other organizations to protect the general
public from harm, danger, and criminal
activity.
This can include various areas such as law
enforcement, fire safety, emergency medical
services, disaster preparedness, and crime
prevention.
3. The concept of public safety refers to the idea
that everyone in a community should be able
to live their lives without fear of harm or
danger.
It encompasses the measures and practices
taken to protect individuals and the
community as a whole from a wide range of
potential threats, including natural disasters,
crime, terrorism, and other emergencies.
4. PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Prevention Collaboration Proactivity Equity Transparency
It is better to
prevent harm than
to respond to it after
it has occurred.
Preventive
measures, such as
education and
awareness
campaigns, are
critical to reducing
the risks to public
safety.
Public safety requires
the cooperation and
coordination of
various stakeholders,
including government
agencies, community
organizations, and
individuals.
Collaborative efforts
can lead to more
effective and efficient
solutions.
Public safety
measures must be
proactive rather
than reactive.
Anticipating
potential risks and
taking action to
mitigate them can
prevent harm and
reduce the need for
emergency
responses.
Public safety
measures must be
applied equitably to
all members of the
community.
Disadvantaged
groups or individuals
should not be
disproportionately
affected by measures
intended to enhance
public safety.
Public safety
measures should
be transparent
and accountable.
The public should
be informed about
the measures
being taken and
their effectiveness.
