Disaster Continuum or Emergency Management Cycle - answerIt is the life
cycle of a disaster
Pre-impact, Impact, Post-impact - answerThese are the three major phases of
disaster management continuum.
Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, Recovery, Evaluation - answer5 Basic
Phases of the Disaster Management Continuum
Preparedness - answerThis refers to the phase wherein there is proactive
planning efforts designed to structure the disaster response prior to its
occurrence. Disaster planning encompasses evaluating potential
vulnerabilities (assessment of risk) and the propensity for a disaster to occur.
Warning - answerIt is also known as forecasting. Refers to monitoring events
to look for indicators that predict the location, timing, and magnitude of
future disasters.
Mitigation - answerThis phase includes measures taken to reduce the
harmful effects of a disaster by attempting to limit its impact on human
health, community function, and economic infrastructure. These are all steps
that are taken to lessen the impact of a disaster should one occur and can
be considered as prevention measures.
Prevention - answerThis refers to a broad range of activities, such as
attempts to prevent a disaster from occurring, and any actions taken to
prevent further disease, disability, or loss of life.
Response - answerThis the phase that pertains to the actual implementation
of the disaster plan. Disaster response, or emergency management, is the
organization of activities used to address the event.
Recovery - answerThis phase consists of actions focus on stabilizing and
returning the community (or an organization) to normal (its pre-impact
status). This can range from rebuilding
damaged buildings and repairing infrastructure, to relocating populations
and instituting mental health interventions.
Rehabilitation and reconstruction - answerThese involve numerous activities
to counter the long-term effects of the disaster on the community and future
development.
, Evaluation - answerIt is the phase of disaster planning and response that
often receives the least attention. After a disaster, it is essential that this will
be conducted to determine what worked, what did not work, and what
specific problems, issues, and challenges were identified. Future disaster
planning needs to be based on empirical evidence derived from previous
disasters.
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) - answerThis is a global
framework established within the United Nations for the promotion of action
to reduce social vulnerability and risks of natural hazards and related
technological and environmental disasters. Its main purpose is to facilitate,
in an inter-agency effort Governments and communities in disaster-prone
areas in integrating the management of risk into their development policies,
programs and projects. The long-term goal is to enable communities to
become resilient to disasters saving lives as well as social, economic, and
environmental assets.
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai
Framework) - answerThe first major agreement of the post-2015
development agenda and provides Member States with concrete actions to
protect development gains from the risk of disaster. works hand in hand with
the other 2030 Agenda agreements, including The Paris Agreement on
Climate Change, The Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for
Development, the New Urban Agenda, and ultimately the Sustainable
Development Goals.
Sendai Framework - answerThis is the successor instrument to the Hyogo
Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations
and Communities to Disasters. It is the outcome of stakeholder consultations
initiated in March 2012 and inter-governmental negotiations held from July
2014 to March 2015, which were supported by the UNDRR upon the request
of the UN General Assembly.
Agent-specific Approach - answerOne of the types of disaster planning that
focus their preparedness activities on the most likely threats to occur based
on their geographic location (e.g., hurricanes in Florida).
All-hazards Approach - answerIt is a conceptual model for disaster
preparedness that incorporates disaster management components that are
consistent across all major types of disaster events to maximize resources,
expenditures, and planning efforts.
Department of Homeland Security's National Response Plan - answerThis
encourages all communities to prepare for disasters using the all-hazards
approach instead of stand-alone plans.
