The Work Continues After the Incident Closes.
Disaster Recovery (Post-Event Operations) is its own phase of every deployment — assessing damage, closing out the incident, and pointing communities toward the resources they need to rebuild.
From Response to Recovery
As containment increases, our teams shift from active response into two dedicated recovery stages.
Damage Assessment
Field teams document structure damage, road and utility impacts, and access conditions to guide where recovery resources are needed most.
After-Action / Debrief
Every deployment closes with a formal after-action review, so lessons from each incident sharpen how the next one is handled.
See Active Recovery Deployments
Recovery-phase deployments — damage assessment, debris clearance, community aid — are posted on our deployments board as they open up.
