The stages of the emergency management cycle

          What stages of the emergency management cycle do resilient communities use to try to limit the long-term impact of a disaster? Share two examples of preparedness measures that could be taken for natural or human-made hazard (e.g., tornado, flood, chemical leak) and two examples of mitigation measures. Explain this in the context of a real community's disaster experience and comment on your peers' examples. Address applicable, federal, state, and local policies in your response.
