The Four Phases of Emergency Management
Mitigation
Preventing future emergencies or minimizing their effects
 Includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an
emergency happening, or reduce the damaging effects of unavoidable
emergencies.
 Buying flood and fire insurance for your home is a mitigation activity.
 Mitigation activities take place before and after emergencies.
Preparedness
Preparing to handle an emergency
 Includes plans or preparations made to save lives and to help response and rescue
operations.
 Evacuation plans and stocking food and water are both examples of preparedness.
 Preparedness activities take place before an emergency occurs.
Response
Responding safely to an emergency
 Includes actions taken to save lives and prevent further property damage in an
emergency situation. Response is putting your preparedness plans into action.
 Seeking shelter from a tornado or turning off gas valves in an earthquake are both
response activities.
 Response activities take place during an emergency.
Recovery
Recovering from an emergency
 Includes actions taken to return to a normal or an even safer situation following an
emergency.
 Recovery includes getting financial assistance to help pay for the repairs.
 Recovery activities take place after an emergency.
