When a disaster strikes within a community, the shock of the disaster pulls people together and outside resources are brought in. This is known as which phase of the community response to disaster?
a. Reconstruction
b. Honeymoon
c. Heroic
d. Disillusionment
ANS: B
The honeymoon phase occurs when the "community pulls together and outside resources are brought in" after an initial search and recovery phase. The final reconstruction phase occurs when the survivors begin to take the primary responsibility for rebuilding their life. The heroic phase consists of initial search and recovery. The disillusionment phase usually appears as the initial emergency response starts to subside. The "shared community" feeling starts to leave as people begin to realize the extent of their losses and the limitations of external support. Survivors can experience anger, resentment, and bitterness at the loss of support, particularly if it is sudden and complete.
