Select a phase to explore:
Reactive: Before
Communities with a reactive approach to fire management often lack comprehensive preparation. Fire safety measures may be minimal, with limited investment in prevention infrastructure.
Reactive: During
When fires occur, reactive communities often face chaotic scenarios. Emergency responses may be disorganized, with agencies struggling to coordinate effectively.
Reactive: After
In the aftermath, reactive communities often face extensive rebuilding efforts with minimal pre-established recovery frameworks. Insurance challenges are common, with many residents discovering they were underinsured for fire damage.
Proactive: Before
Proactive communities invest heavily in prevention and preparedness. They implement comprehensive forest management practices, including regular controlled burns and mechanical thinning to reduce fuel loads in surrounding areas.
Proactive: During
When fires occur in proactive communities, emergency response is coordinated and efficient. Well-established communication protocols ensure residents receive timely, accurate information about the situation and necessary actions.
Proactive: After
Recovery in proactive communities typically follows pre-established plans that expedite rebuilding and restoration. Insurance claims tend to be processed more smoothly due to proper documentation and adequate coverage levels encouraged before disasters.
