Disaster Response is the sum total of actions
taken by people and institutions in the face of disaster. These
actions commence with the warning of an oncoming threatening event
or with the event itself if it occurs without the warning. Disaster
Response includes the implementation of disaster preparedness
plans and procedures, thus overlapping with disaster preparedness.
The end of disaster response comes with the completion of disaster
rehabilitation program.
