Q

how long does the rehabilitation stage last?

A

days to weeks

17
Q

what is the stage after rehabilitation?

A

reconstruction

18
Q

how long does reconstruction last?

A

weeks to years

19
Q

what is included in reconstruction

A

property and crops rebuilt

learn how to respond better

20
Q

what is flexible about the model?

A

there are variations that allow it to show differences between different hazards

21
Q

what is the model also known as?

A

disaster response model

22
Q

what doesn’t the parks model take into account?

A

the different types of spatial variations

states that all areas will respond the same

23
Q

what is stage one?

A

where it is prior to the event and quality of life is at its normal level

24
Q

what is stage 2?

A

where hazard hits quality of life stays normal

25
what is stage 3?
where the event has happened and search and rescue in under way, quality of life stays low for a while
26
stage 4?
when relief strategies are underway and organised system | can take weeks to months but quality of life does improve
27
what is stage 5?
this si when long term responses are under way, reconstructing etc can return quality of life back to normal or higher
