Phase IV: Recovery
Return your workplace or community to normal
The recovery phase of the disaster cycle follows the immediate response to the disaster. The focus of the recovery phase is to develop and foster long-term health and sustainability for the affected community and its residents. Once the immediate crisis and basic needs are addressed, the affected population is able to take on activities to restore their lives and rebuild their community's systems and infrastructure. It is also able to identify the less urgent but equally important impacts of the disaster.
