response phase of the disaster continuum includes the actual implementation of the disaster plan. The
recovery phase is related to actions focusing on stabilization of the community and returning it to the
previous state. The mitigation phase includes attempts to limit a disaster's impact on human health and
community function.

are being studied. Smallpox can be prevented or the incidence reduced by vaccination, even when first
given after exposure.
