Correct Answer: 2
Reconstitution occurs when the life of the community returns to a "new" normal. Restoration is a recovery stage in which rebuilding takes place. Mitigation activities focus on the prevention or reduction of the harmful effects of a disaster. Disaster reflection is a recall of the events that have taken place.
