2. recovery
3. restoration

Correct Answer: 1
The final stage of recovery is evaluation, which is also an activity in the preparation and planning aspects of the nondisaster stage. Future-oriented activities take place to prevent subsequent disasters or to minimize their effects. Nurses participate by discussing suggestions to improve the response time to victims or ways to improve treatment. The recovery aspect of disaster response is also called reconstruction. The response phase involves the immediate response to the disaster. The recovery and reconstruction phase involves rebuilding and returning to some semblance of normalcy.
