Abstract:
In the beginning, emergency management planning was a collection of the response standard operating procedures of the emergency services. The planning was then expanded to include the response of all other interested and affected organisations. The realisation that prevention is more cost effective than a cure was the impetuous to the inclusion of prevention and mitigation in emergency management planning.
The neglected area and yet the most protracted and arguably the most costly aspect of major emergencies is that of the recovery. (The Recovery Management Plan for Newcastle Australia after the earthquake was scheduled to take ten years). Recovery management per se is too large a topic to address in one paper therefore the focus of this paper is on the insurance and financial aid aspects. | |||
