Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The response phase of disaster occurs immediately after the onset of the disastrous event. During the prevention phase, no disaster is expected or anticipated. Long-term phase occurring after the disastrous event is the recovery phase. The preparedness phase occurs prior to the disastrous event and involves improving community and individual reaction and responses, so that the effects of a disaster are minimized.
