Mitigation:
1. Definition:
Mitigation refers to actions or strategies taken to lessen the
impact or consequences of a risk or hazard that has already
occurred or is likely to occur. It involves minimizing the damage,
loss, or adverse effects associated with a specific event or
situation.
2. Purpose:
The purpose of mitigation is to reduce the severity, scale, or
intensity of a risk or its consequences. It focuses on making the
situation more manageable, often by addressing the aftermath of
an event.
3. Focus:
Mitigation actions typically focus on reducing harm or recovering
from an event. They are reactive and aim to improve resilience and
response in the face of a risk or disaster.
4. Examples:
Evacuation plans, disaster recovery strategies, emergency
response procedures, and damage repair efforts are examples of
mitigation activities.
Summary:
In summary, control measures are proactive steps taken to prevent or manage
risks before they occur, whereas mitigation involves reactive actions to reduce
the impact of risks that have already materialized or are inevitable. Control
measures focus on prevention, while mitigation focuses on response and
minimizing harm. Both are crucial aspects of risk management and safety
planning in various domains, including business, safety, health, and
environmental management.
