In the "Prevention/Mitigation" phase, efforts are made to prevent or mitigate damage (e.g. planting of mangroves plants against floods). Activities and measures for ensuring an effective response to the impact of hazards are classified as "Preparedness" (e.g. emergency drills and public awareness) and are not aimed at averting the occurrence of a disaster. "Response" includes such activities as rescue efforts, emergency medical aid, fire fighting and evacuation. In the "Rehabilitation/Reconstruction" phase, considerations of disaster risk reduction should form the foundations for all activities. Concisely, by taking appropriate measures based on the concept of disaster risk management in each phase of the disaster risk management cycle can reduce the overall disaster risk.
