This 4-part webinar series focuses on the phases of emergency management: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery.

Utilizing an all-hazards approach helps organizations be flexible and focus on capabilities that are critical to preparedness for a full spectrum of emergencies or disasters. As severe weather season approaches, it is important to recognize that each type of hazard has unique characteristics, yet common elements. Rather than managing planning initiatives for a multitude of threat scenarios, the all-hazards approach can simplify and optimize your planning and preparedness.


Disaster recovery begins with the stabilization of the incident and ends when the community has recovered from the disasters impact. Throughout the recovery phase you’re also mitigating for the next critical event, but efforts require multijurisdictional cooperation. This webinar will discuss:

  • Benefits of providing consistent communication throughout the recovery phase
  • Why resiliency helps communities recover quicker than others
  • How the recovery process is becoming more data dependent for declaration and funding
