[The] actions taken in response to a disaster warning or alert.

CONT

Here, emergency response is the action taken to avoid or reduce personal injury and damage to property and the environment when an event, such as coastal flooding, which may cause an accident or disaster, is imminent or has happened. These circumstances include ... immediate precautionary measures, such as the construction of temporary dykes, but exclude mitigation efforts such as the construction of permanent dykes in the salient period between incidents.

CONT

Advances in information and communication technologies enable the public to contribute to emergency response. For instance, reporting systems set up during recent disasters allowed affected people to submit testimonies about conditions on the ground. In addition, the public has analysed data and helped to mobilise and deliver relief resources.
