Preferred term

community response  

Definition(s)

  • Following a disaster, the most effective response tends to be local, because they are on the scene immediately and know the community and area best. The reality is that often, locals have no choice but to respond, as external assistance can be slow to arrive. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; Community Response]
