2018-04-10 S&O Agenda - Attachment 1 to Item 4 - Local Disaster Recovery Subplan

Disillusionment Phase: as time progresses, survivors tend to progress through an inventory
process in which the limits of available disaster assistance are realised and they recognise the
reality of their situation. Triggers, such as the anniversary of the disaster, can initiate negative
emotions related to the disaster as survivors relive their experiences.

Reconstruction Phase: set-backs are experienced by survivors as they go through their grief
and feeling of loss, eventually readjusting to their new surrounding situations.

The cumulative nature of impacts from previous disasters must also be considered when
planning and delivering recovery activities.


5.2      Steps to recovery
Recovery is a progressive activity that involves many steps. The timeframes for each of these
steps is dictated by the situation:
