Emergencies
An emergency is broadly defined as a threatening condition that requires
urgent action. Emergencies can be man-made, such as armed conflicts and
other situations of violence; they can result from natural hazards, such as

emergency phase is generally considered to last until the immediate
threat to life has diminished and communities begin the process of
rebuilding.
