Range of response refers to all the ways in which a society may act to reduce the effects or

increase the benefits of a hazard.

This can range from immediate actions in the face of danger (warning systems, flood fighting

with sand bags and emergency evacuation) to long-term actions (planting crops less susceptible

to drought or the construction of buildings designed to resist earthquakes).
