Response and Recovery

Response and Recovery refer to the phases of handling emergencies or disasters. Response is the immediate action taken to manage and mitigate the impact of an incident, such as providing aid, restoring safety, and addressing urgent needs. Recovery, on the other hand, involves the longer-term process of rebuilding and restoring affected communities, services, and infrastructure to a stable state. This includes assessing damage, providing support to those affected, and implementing plans to prevent future occurrences, ensuring that individuals and communities can return to normalcy as effectively and swiftly as possible.
