Read a random definition: tortious conduct

A quick definition of Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate:

The Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its job is to make sure that people are ready for emergencies and disasters, like hurricanes, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks. The Directorate works with other government agencies and local emergency responders to plan for emergencies and to help people when disasters happen. It includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which helps people after disasters, and other groups that help with medical emergencies and nuclear incidents.

Overall, the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate is responsible for keeping people safe and helping them when bad things happen.

A more thorough explanation:

The Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate is a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its main responsibility is to coordinate relief and recovery efforts during emergencies and disasters. It also develops and coordinates plans to prevent terrorism and minimize risks of danger from natural disasters.

The Directorate includes several organizations such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Strategic National Stockpile, the National Disaster Medical System, the Nuclear Incident Response Team, the Domestic Emergency Support Teams, the National Domestic Preparedness Office, and state and local emergency responders.

For example, during a hurricane, the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate would work with FEMA to provide assistance to affected communities. They would also coordinate with the National Disaster Medical System to ensure that medical supplies and personnel are available to treat those who are injured or sick.

Another example is if there was a terrorist attack, the Directorate would work with the Domestic Emergency Support Teams and the National Domestic Preparedness Office to respond to the attack and prevent further harm.
