Some mitigation <br />activities include development of public health <br />and zoning/ building code ordinances and <br />enforcement of those regulations on a day-to-day <br />basis. <br /> <br />Preparedness: Preparedness activities, programs, <br />and systems are those that exist prior to an <br />emergency and are used to support and enhance <br />response to an emergency or disaster. Planning, <br />training, and exercising are among the activities <br />conducted under this phase. <br /> <br />Response: Response activities and programs are <br />designed to address the immediate effects of the <br />onset of an emergency or disaster and help to <br />reduce casualties and damage and to speed' <br />recovery. Response activities include direction <br />and control, warning, evacuatibn, mass care, and <br />other similar operations. <br /> <br />Recovery: Recovery activities involve restoring <br />systems to normal. Short-term recovery actions are <br />taken to assess damage and return vital <br />life-support systems to minimum operating <br />standards; long-term recovery actions may continue <br />for many years. <br /> <br />BP.3 July, 1993 <br /> <br /> <br />
