Introduction: Recovery Process Can Be Long Term

Recovering from any type of disaster includes making long-term adjustments and taking time to recuperate from the emotional and physical effects associated with traumatic events. All of us deal with stress on various levels each and every day, but major storm episodes compound these challenges with new demands on our time, our patience and our health. Disaster victims sometimes perform well during the initial shock phases, but lose their energy levels after prolonged stress.
