Park Model + Hazard Management Cycle Flashcards
what does the park model show ?
the different phases of response to a hazard
what are the 5 stages to the park model ?
Pre-disaster
Disruption
Relief
Rehabilitation
Reconstruction
What happens in the pre-disaster stage of the park model?
Before Event
Situation = normal
What happens in the disruption stage of the park model?
During and directly after hazard event occurs
Destruction of property and loss of life
Response starts to take place
What happens in the relief stage of the park model?
Aftermath of event
Rescuing and saving people
Preventing further damage
What happens in the rehabilitation stage of the park model?
Resolve longer-term problems
For example temporary shelter and aid
What happens in the reconstruction stage of the park model?
Rebuilding permanent homes and infrastructure
Higher standard of infrastructure improves vulnerability to Hazards
How long is the relief stage in the park model?
Hours - Days
How long is the rehabilitation stage in the park model?
days - weeks
How long is the reconstruction stage in the park model?
weeks - years
How is the park model plotted?
Stages to response = X Axis
Quality of life = Y Axis
What are the strengths of the park model ?
Shows the progress of responses = helps planners predict what resources are needed
Helps plan is to prepare for future hazard events
Reconstruction phase shows improvement + which countries can return to normality quicker
plot more than 1 hazard
What are the limitations of the park model?
Doesn’t account for differences in the development of countries
Doesn’t account for some countries, never returning to a sense of normality post-disaster
What are the four stages of the hazard management cycle?
Preparedness
Response
Recovery
Mitigation
What does the hazard management cycle show?
How countries should manage hazards
