Hazard Management

The Hazard Management Cycle

The Hazard Management Cycle is a tool to help us understand the response, recovery, mitigation and preparedness for natural hazards.

Response and recovery

Response:
- Immediate help in the form of rescue to save lives and aid to keep people alive. This includes providing emergency shelter, food and water.
Recovery:
- Rebuilding infrastructure and services after the disaster and rehabilitating injured (physically and mentally) people and their lives.

Mitigation and preparedness

Mitigation:
- Acting to reduce the scale of the next disaster by land-use zoning and building hazard-resistant buildings and infrastructure.
Preparedness:
- Community education and resilience building, including how to act before, during and after a disaster.
- Improving prediction warning and evacuation systems.

The Park Disaster Response Model

The Park Disaster Response Model shows the different stages of disasters.

The Park Disaster Response Model

The model explained

The Park Disaster Response Model shows:
- How quality of life is impacted by a hazardous event.
- How a range of management strategies can be used over time, from before the event to after the event.
- The roles of emergency relief agencies.
- How different areas affected may have a different response curve, depending on their level of preparedness and economic development.
