lives/property. Groups from outside the immediate area help with
search, rescue and care operations and emergency supplies are
sent in.
Rehabilitation Phase - More complex, lasts several months,
efforts are made to restore physical/community structures at least
temporarily.
Reconstruction, Mitigation, Preparedness - All permanent
changes introduced to restore QoL and economic stability to the
pre-disaster level.
