From top to bottom:
Recovery is coordinated across operations, governance, funding and communication.
Relief and recovery phases and activities can be articulated as:
- mobilise and plan through early relief planning, and
- delivery and mobilisation of recovery programs by planning and preparing during the relief phase.
Stabilisation phase includes relief delivery, short-term plans addressing the immediate needs, assessment and planning is completed, and activities progressively transition from emergency response to recovery.
Within the medium term regional and state planning there is a return to a new normal of elevated risk, recovery self-organising and priority setting by communities, while medium to long-term recovery activities start.
Longer term recovery consists of a handover from recovery to local communities, organisations and agencies; and long-term plans for growth and resilience.
The State Emergency Management Plan (SEMP) describes the emergency management phases across preparedness and mitigation, response, relief, short, medium and long term recovery, back to preparedness and mitigation, in which continuous learning is applied over the cycle of the phase.
