Which phases are defined by the NFPA 1600 standard?

  1. Prevention, response, analysis, and recovery

  2. Prevention, mitigation, recovery, and continuity

  3. Preparation, enforcement, assessment, and renewal

  4. Prevention, response, recovery, and preparedness

The correct answer is: Prevention, mitigation, recovery, and continuity

The NFPA 1600 standard defines phases that are integral to emergency management and business continuity. The correct phases outlined by the NFPA 1600 are prevention, mitigation, recovery, and continuity. Prevention focuses on strategies and measures to avert potential incidents or disasters. Mitigation refers to reducing the impact or likelihood of those incidents occurring. Recovery is the phase where efforts are concentrated on restoring services and infrastructure after an incident has occurred. Lastly, continuity emphasizes the ability to maintain essential functions during and after a disaster. This combination is essential for comprehensive emergency management. Each phase plays a critical role in ensuring an organization can effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies while maintaining continuity of operations.
