Answer: D. shows the interconnectedness of recovery activities from pre-incident recovery preparation through the long term recovery.
Explanation: The Recovery Continuum shows the interconnectedness of recovery activities from pre-incident (pre-disaster) recovery preparation through the long term (post-disaster) recovery and the whole process is best described as a series of interdependent and sometimes concurrent activities that progressively advance a community toward its planned recovery outcomes.
The Recovery Continuum includes four phases of activities which are as follows:
1. Pre-Disaster Preparedness
2. Post-Disaster Short-Term (lasting from days to weeks)
3. Post-Disaster Intermediate-Term (lasts for a few weeks to several months) and,
4. Post-Disaster Long-Term (months to years)
