Relief and Reconstruction

Relief and reconstruction are two phases of responding to a disaster. Relief involves immediate actions to save lives, provide essential needs like food, water, shelter, and medical care, and minimize suffering. It's about quick, short-term support to stabilize affected communities. Reconstruction follows relief and focuses on rebuilding infrastructure, homes, and services to restore normalcy. It involves longer-term planning, development, and investment to repair damages and improve resilience against future events. Together, these phases aim to both address urgent needs and create sustainable recovery for survivors.
