There are four major phases of disaster management: The measures of disaster management include mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. In a like manner, all of the phases are useful in managing the risks and conserving lives and in the disaster recovery process.

1. Mitigation: This one has steps that focus on risk reduction by enhanced structure including infrastructure, act and zoning laws and protection to the environment which may involve creating barriers against floods or placing buildings in cas.
2. Preparedness: This belongs to the preparedness SA measures which entail the establishment of early warning system, first responders training, practice of mock drills and formulation of evacuation plans. Community and responder awareness and readiness is provided by preparedness, in order to minimize the number of fatalities and reduce confusion.
3. Response: This include action the moment and just after the disaster; may this be search and rescue, medical help, shelter and food among others. The first result will be the avoidance of the minimum of losses and the stabilization of the given situation.
This will entail reconstruction of the structures that were destroyed; reconciliations, reconstruction, and reconstruction of the sources of income; rehabilitation of the mental and psychological. Stability will happen in the communities also it will pass lessons learned to build capacities against future vulnerabilities; recovery will happen.

Some of the problems that affect coordination in disaster management are; These problems are due to complexities, limitation of resources and uncertainty. The challenges can be addressed through the improvement of infrastructure, enhanced early warning system, education, implementation of land use regulation and required cooperation. Affirmatively managed disasters that integrate all these strategies correspondingly enhance community resilience, mitigate emerging consequences, advance quicker and more secure recovery.
