5 STAGES OF
DISASTER
MANAGEMENT
CYCLE
PREVENTION
The best way to address a disaster
is by being proactive. This means
identifying potential hazards and
devising safeguards to mitigate
their impact.
MITIGATION
Mitigation aims to minimize the loss of human life that would
result from a disaster. Both structural and nonstructural
measures may be taken.
PREPAREDNESS
An ongoing process in which individuals, communities, businesses
and organizations can plan and train for what they’ll do in the
event of a disaster.
RESPONSE
Response is what happens after the disaster occurs. It involves
both short- and long-term responses. Disaster Management
leaders will coordinate the use of resources to help restore
personal and environmental safety, as well as to minimize the
risk of any additional property damage.
RECOVERY
This can take a long time, sometimes years or
decades. Ultimately, this stage is about helping
individuals, communities, businesses and
organizations return to normal or a new normal
depending on the impact of the disaster.
