Emergency Response and Recovery
Integrated emergency management (IEM) comprises six related activities:
anticipation, assessment, prevention, preparation, response and recovery.
This section of ukresilience contains information about the final two of
those activities. These can be described as the post-emergency elements of
IEM.
