Answer:
When disaster strikes a community, its impact dominates the news. Images and accounts of distress fill TV screens and airwaves. If the emergency remains in the news for more than a week or two, it seems like long-term coverage. Generally, though, mass media cover only the first phase of a disaster, whereas the long-term disaster-response work of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) unfolds over several phases and can last months or even years. Different agencies may call these phases by different names, but their fundamental elements and contexts are the same.
Each disaster is a unique event that requires careful assessment. And because relief and recovery may take a long time, it is import to create a strategic plan of response to identify and help the most vulnerable and severely affected people.
