Environmental emergencies, encompassing natural disasters, industrial accidents, and public health crises, pose significant threats to human health, ecosystems, and societal well-being [1]. In response to these challenges, diverse methods of protection have been developed to mitigate risks and enhance resilience [2]. This article provides an in-depth review of effective strategies and interventions used to protect individuals, communities, and environments during environmental emergencies. The review begins by categorizing environmental emergencies into distinct types, including floods, hurricanes, chemical spills, and infectious disease outbreaks [3]. It then examines proactive approaches such as risk assessment [4] and early warning systems [5] that play crucial roles in identifying hazards and reducing vulnerabilities before emergencies occur. In the event of an environmental crisis, rapid response and effective management are imperative. This review explores emergency preparedness strategies, including the development of robust emergency response plans [6], implementation of evacuation procedures [7], and fostering community engagement initiatives [8] to enhance overall resilience. Furthermore, the article discusses specialized protection measures tailored to vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and equity in emergency response efforts [9]. It also evaluates the utilization of technology, such as remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in bolstering real-time monitoring and response capabilities [10]. Through a synthesis of existing literature and case studies, this review elucidates best practices and lessons learned in safeguarding human health and ecosystems during environmental emergencies. The insights gleaned from this research can inform policy formulation, guide emergency management practices, and facilitate community-driven resilience-building initiatives [11]. In conclusion, proactive protection measures and integrated response strategies are essential for effectively addressing environmental emergencies and mitigating their adverse impacts on society and the environment. Continued research and knowledge-sharing efforts are critical for advancing the field of environmental emergency management and promoting sustainable resilience [12].
