Emergency response after an earthquake (days) If earthquake is life-threatening a Civil Defence emergency will be declared When it is safe enough, emergency services will: Put out fires Search for/ rescue survivors (Search and Rescue teams may be called in) Treat the injured

Temporary hospitals and evacuation centres may be set up All economic activity stops in evacuated area

Repair (months) Evacuees return home (if allowed) Insurance claims are made Businesses reopen or close down permanently Major repairs and rebuilding begins More services are restored People may seek counselling

Recovery (years) Major infrastructure damage may take years to repair e.g motorways, dams Disaster plans and procedures are evaluated and revised
