  • 1.8B: Hazard management cycle and the role of planners
    • Response
      • Coping with the disaster, aims are to save life and protect property
        • Search and rescue efforts, evacuating, restore critical infrastructure, ensure critical services continue
    • Recovery
      • Short term- focus on immediate needs, overlaps with response
        • Providing health services, restoring permanent power, provide food and shelter, organise financial assistance
      • Long term- getting back to normal over a long period of time
        • Rebuild homes, infrastructure, reopen businesses and schols
        • After a hazard
    • Mitigation
      • Identifying potential hazards and taking steps to reduce their impact
        • Land-use zoning, enforcing building coes, engineering defences
        • Aim is to reduce loss to life and property by helping communities to become less vulnerable
      • This is before/after a hazard
    • Preparedness
      • Minimising loss of life and property, and facilitating the response and recovery phases
        • Many activities are developed/implemeted by emergency planners in both government and aid organisations
        • Developing preparedness plans, early warning systems, evacuation routes, raising public awareness
      • Before a hazard
