PHASES OF DISASTER

There are 5 phases of a disaster: 1) Pre-disaster preparation involves hazard surveys, risk assessment, and developing disaster plans. 2) Warning occurs from the first danger signal to impact and involves prediction and activating emergency plans. 3) Impact is when the disaster strikes and the effects are endured. 4) Emergency starts at the end of impact and focuses on recovery until additional threats have passed. 5) Recovery begins in the emergency phase and ends when normal community order and function resume.
