Feedback:
The recovery phase begins as the disaster ends. Although normal operations may return, critical incident stress debriefing for staff members is important. Responders may have been exposed to traumatic situations or worked for lengths of time that left them exhausted. An after-action evaluation is conducted following the event that includes the responders and agencies involved. Each step of the disaster event is reviewed, and a report is compiled that describes the scenario, response activities, participants, what went well, and what problems occurred. The financial, manpower, and other resources are determined. Lists of detailed recommendations are made for revisions to the emergency response plan. Arrangements are then to follow the progress of making the recommended changes. The final report assists with closure of the event and demonstrates that emergency preparedness is valued.
