Breakdown of Resource Pages

There are a variety of ways of describing the basic elements of disaster preparedness, but one of the simplest way to divide them is to break them down into three (3) stages: 

• Before - This stage includes prevention and preparation. It includes resources for site assessments,  risk reduction, and disaster planning. 

• During - This is the stage where the incident has occurred and includes initial assessments and the Disaster Response Plan. 

• After - This stage includes the Disaster Recovery Plan, collections salvage, review, and steps to return to a new normal.
