Recovery phase
The final stage in the emergency management program developed and implemented by the Los Angeles Unified School District is represented by the recovery. This phase occurs in the aftermath of the crisis situation and it is focused on helping the community to be restored to the standards that were existent before the emergency, or even higher standards, if this is a possibility.
As the recovery phase is onset, the next logical step is that mitigating to avoid the occurrence of another crisis. In other words, there is no clear delimitation as to where the recovery phase ends and where the mitigation phase starts. In such a setting, it is safe to argue that the emergency management activity is a cyclic and ongoing one, and the phases which form it cannot be separated. This feature would also explain the distinctive numbering of the plan phases of a traditional emergency management plan and the emergency management plan at the Los Angeles Unified School District.
What is also noteworthy is that the very commencement of the recovery phase is difficult to note, often times being the case for recovery to commence during or simultaneously with the stages of response. This further supports the previous theory of a cyclic nature of emergency management.
"Recovery is taking all actions necessary to restore the area to pre-event conditions or better, if possible. Therefore, mitigation for future hazards plays an important part in the recovery phase for many emergencies. There is no clear time separation between response and recovery. In fact, planning for recovery should be a part of the response phase" (Website of the Los Angeles Unified School District).
Aside from the activities mentioned before, the recovery unit is also in charge of the financial aspect of the emergency situation. In other words, it is the role of the recovery unit to compile data on the necessary cost reimbursements and to complete and file the "applications for cost reimbursement for personnel, materials, equipment, and damage arising from the incident" (Website of the Los Angeles Unified School District).
The adequate implementation of the four phases of emergency management within the Los Angeles Unified School District is nevertheless limited by the decreased access to financial resources. Out of all the four phases, the phase which is most sensitive to the financial constraints is represented by the recovery phases. Before the crisis, the people seldom think about risks and construct their lives in a highly protective manner, weakening the mitigation phase. Then, as an emergency situation unfolds, public and private institutions often allocate the necessary funds to ensuring immediate management of the crisis situation. Still, as the crisis has been managed and has passed, less emphasis is placed on long-term recovery.
