There are four phases of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning (CEMP) process.
We are now in the Mitigation and Preparation/Planning phase.
Recovery is the last phase of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning (CEMP) process and sets up the restart at Mitigation and Preparedness.
Disaster recovery can fall into two camps, personnel and business. For our proposes, we will discuss personnel recovery in this article.
Suppose you have questions on disaster/emergency recovery. Click this link, conduct a quick Disaster/Emergency Planning Assessment, and schedule a consult.
All things emergency management-related must have a plan.
Having a plan will prevent panic, make it easier to recover, and instill confidence in your family.
But it will not prevent;
Death and injury
Property damage and loss
Economic crisis
Recrimination and social unrest
To recover from these events, you do need a plan.
Your primary concern after a disaster is your family’s health, safety, and welfare. These concerns can be evaluated and processed during your recovery disaster planning process.
The four tenets of disaster planning remain during the recovery process: shelter, water, food, and sanitation.
Disaster recovery will be slow and stressful if you let it be. Knowing how and where to find help will make the process faster and less stressful.
Now is an excellent time to conduct a disaster insurance audit. Contact your insurance agent and have them take the time to tell you precisely what your policy covers. For example, here in Florida, the number one natural disaster every year is Hurricanes. But there is no single Hurricane Insurance Policy. Having Hazard insurance is a good start, but it might not cover wind and water, which may leave your property under-insured.
Take the time now. Ask yourself the critical question about what hazards you might need to recover from. Then, contact your local emergency management office for detailed information about the threats your community will face.
