The Emergency phase is characterised by taking actions that are necessary to save lives. They
include and rescue, first - aid, emergency medical assistance, restoration of emergency
communication and transportation networks, and in some cases, evacuation from areas still vulnerable
to further disaster. Other actions taken during the emergency phase include initial disaster assessment
and emergency repairs to critical facilities.
In the Transitional phase, people return to work, permanent repairs of infrastructure and
damaged buildings is undertaken, and other actions necessary to help the community return to
normalcy, in the earliest possible ti9me, are taken. This phase coincides with the period in which
emotional recovery normally occurs. This period is the most difficult for the victims.
During this time, depression may set in as people finally realize the full extent of losses.
Limited outside intervention during this phase can be of great assistance in helping victims to recover.
Assistance in the form of cash or credit, activities that create jobs and constructive projects are among
the more appropriate types of aid.
The Reconstruction phase is characterised by the physical recovery of the community and the
physical environment. During this period reconstruct houses and other buildings, repair roads and
other community facilities and agriculture returns to normal. The time span is very difficult to define.
It may start fairly early, even during the recovery period and may last for many years. The
reconstruction of houses in particular is an activity that takes many years to complete.
