Core objective of the ERP management system was to focus on emergency response needs - in terms of what human and material resources are in place, at what locations, and how best to bridge the gaps between where they are and where they are required.
In other words, it facilitates a process of transparency in answering critical operational questions under working conditions of intermittent internet access, mobile network outages and power outages.
This phase includes identifying and allocating the personnel, training, and equipment necessary to respond to an emergency as well as developing jurisdiction-specific and well- planned plans for delivering those physical assets during the situation of disaster.
The response phase begins the execution of the plans and allocation of resources recognized in the preparedness phase. It includes the immediate operations necessary to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs, as well as initiate the short-term recovery process.
Short-term recovery focuses on restoring critical systems such as roadways and utilities, removing wreck or contaminated material, and other tasks required to re-establish the affected area’s normal daily operations.
Mitigation phase follows recovery and involves activities that help reducing losses from events. Since the main aim of the phase is to reduce the ongoing consequences of disaster-inflicted failure, mitigation activities can be recognized and carried out in all of the three phases.
