Question

a. mapping high - risk areas
b. estimating economic impacts of future disasters
c. evacuating to higher ground
d. providing economic aid to affected families

which is a benefit of effective crisis management?
a. coordinating recovery efforts efficiently
b. increasing population density in safe zones
c. reducing overall risk in urban areas
d. limiting the need for resilience measures

Explanation:

First Question (Disaster recovery planning includes):

• Option a: Mapping high - risk areas is part of disaster preparedness (risk assessment) rather than recovery planning.
• Option b: Estimating economic impacts of future disasters is part of disaster recovery planning as it helps in preparing for the financial aspects of recovery.
• Option c: Evacuating to higher ground is a response during a disaster (like a flood), not recovery planning.
• Option d: Providing economic aid to affected families is part of disaster relief during or immediately after a disaster, not the planning phase of recovery.

• Option a: Effective crisis management helps in coordinating recovery efforts efficiently as it involves planning and organizing resources during a crisis.
• Option b: Increasing population density in safe zones is not a benefit of crisis management; in fact, over - population in safe zones can cause problems.
• Option c: Crisis management is about responding to a crisis, not reducing overall risk in urban areas (risk reduction is part of preparedness).
• Option d: Crisis management does not limit the need for resilience measures; resilience measures are still important for future crises.

Answer:

b. Estimating economic impacts of future disasters
