Common mistake
Confusing Response Types
Students often confuse immediate responses, such as evacuation and emergency aid, with long-term responses like rebuilding infrastructure and improving disaster preparedness.
To fix this, students should categorize responses based on their time frame, remembering that immediate responses occur right after the event, while long-term responses develop over time to improve resilience.
