Geological Disaster Recovery

Geological Approaches to Disaster Recovery refer to the application of geological principles and methods to assess, mitigate, and manage the impacts of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods, on ecosystems and human infrastructure. This interdisciplinary approach involves analyzing geological formations, processes, and hazards to inform recovery strategies and enhance resilience in affected areas.

Key Terms

Natural Disaster
A catastrophic event caused by natural processes of the Earth.

Example: Earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes are examples of natural disasters.

Risk Mitigation
Strategies to reduce the potential impact of disasters.

Example: Implementing building codes to withstand earthquakes.

Community Resilience
The ability of a community to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.

Example: Communities with emergency plans are more resilient.

Geological Mapping
