13.2 Activation
The Recovery process is activated in the same manner as disaster operations through four
levels of activation. They are:
     Alert
     Lean Forward
     Stand Up
     Stand Down

The LRC should be notified once the LDMG goes to Lean Forward, or in short/no notice
events, when the LDMG is activated to Stand Up. This is to ensure that the recovery
framework can be established based on the emerging and anticipated needs of the
community. The LDRC needs to have a representative present at the LDCC intelligence cell
(usually the LRC) when the initial damage assessment functions are undertaken during
Disaster Operations. This will assist the LDRC in developing their recovery plan. It also
ensures that disaster operations consider the needs of recovery during the response phase.
The diagram in Figure 6 depicts the activation of recovery relative to the response.
