Generally, although we cannot know exactly when or where disasters will strike, or how severe they will be, we recognize from past 

experience which geographical areas are most vulnerable to certain types of natural hazards. This knowledge helps us better 

prepare for and respond to natural hazards. Emergency managers think of disasters as recurring events with four phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The significance of the emergency management cycle is that all communities are in at least one phase of emergency management at any time. This phase includes actions taken to prevent or reduce the 

cause, impact, and consequences of disasters. This phase includes planning, training, and educational activities for events that cannot be mitigated. The response phase occurs in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. During the response phase, business and other operations do not function normally. Personal safety and wellbeing in an emergency and the duration of the response phase 

depend on the level of preparedness. During the recovery period, restoration efforts occur concurrently with regular operations and activities. The recovery period from a disaster can be prolonged. At one end of the spectrum, emergencies are usually small scale, localized incidents which are resolved quickly using local resources. At the other end of the spectrum, disasters are typically largescale and cross geographic, political, and academic boundaries. Disasters require a level of response and recovery greater than local communities can provide. Emergencies and disasters involving livestock also vary in degree, depending on the amount and availability of needed resources. The degree to which an incident results in a disaster depends on the size of the event and local response and recovery capabilities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the agency that promotes disaster mitigation and readiness and coordinates response and recovery following the declaration of a major disaster. Emergency managers further classify emergencies and disasters by size and the type and number of issues that need to 

be addressed. This classification involves minor emergencies, limited and potential emergencies, and major disasters. Disasters are declared using established guidelines and procedures. Because all disasters are local, they are initially 

declared at the local level. This declaration is made by the local Chief Elected Official (CEO) (mayor, city manager, 

commissioner). Financial assistance is available on a supplemental basis through an application process. The Governor reviews the local government’s application, studies the damage estimates and, if appropriate, declares the area a state disaster. This official 

declaration makes state resources available. Disaster declarations are different than states of emergency. A state of emergency is declared when public health or the economic stability of a community is threatened and extraordinary measures of control may be needed. Emergency management works when individuals, the community, the state, and federal government agencies fulfill their emergency management responsibilities. At the federal level of government, FEMA is involved in mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities.
