Recovery Continuum

A depiction of the recovery continuum. A line goes all the way across the top that says: National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF). A line goes halfway across underneath the first line that says National Response Framework (NRF). A title on the side of the graph says Size and scope of disaster and recovery efforts. Starting from the left, a flat bar says Preparedness: ongoing. A bar titled Disaster interrupts that line. From there, a large red curve depicting the Short-Term: Days is shown that starts from the Disaster and ends halfway through the next curve. The next curve is yellow and depicts the Intermediate: Weeks-Months and starts at the end of Short-Term and ends at the beginning of the next curve. The final curve is green and depicts the Long-Term: Months-Years; it's shallower and starts in the middle of Short-Term and ends at the end of the graph. An arrow goes across the bottom of the graph, showing a continuous cycle.
