The community is conducting a planning session to identify potential disaster risks and to map potential disaster locations in the community. This period of planning and preparation is best described as the:
1. Predisaster stage.
2. Impact stage.
3. Nondisaster stage.
4. Recovery stage.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. In the nondisaster stage, planning and preparation occurs by identifying potential disaster risks and mapping their locations in the community. The predisaster stage occurs when a disaster event is imminent but has not yet occurred. During this stage, warning, preimpact mobilization, and evacuation could occur. In the impact stage, the disaster has occurred and the community experiences its immediate effects. During the recovery stage, the focus is on returning the community to equilibrium.
