    Any country should always be ready to counter any disaster that may come about. The
    disaster management team should always be standby to ensure that they are in a position to
    counter natural disasters that may come to be. Hurricane disaster is one of a destructive storm
    that has led to the destruction of most physical buildings especially around the coast of the
    Atlantic Ocean (Rice, 2014). They are key phases that have led to the recovery of such a disaster.
    This includes assessing the disaster itself and analyzing the types of risks that may lead to,
    activating and planning for the hurricane sandy, executing the hurricane sandy disaster recovery
    plan, integration of the recovery plan, and finally the restoration and the reconstitution of the
    hurricane sandy plan (Beaman, 2008).
    To begin disaster recovery action, they need for the management team to plan and
    carry out some logistics to establish the required objectives and requirements most appropriately.
    Planning provides an effective way in which the incident or the disaster is going to be recovered
    or managed. They are five phases that will guide the management to ensure that the disaster
    recovery objectives are accomplished within a specific period. The first phase involves the
    process of analyzing the situation. This includes future developments that will be established in
    the area. This involves information being gathered, recorded, and analyzed and also displaying
    the resources and resources (Beaman, 2008). The role of the above processes will ensure that
    resources need are availed to the management team and even include those that may be required
    to accomplish the mission, for example, the general and command staff who may be needed in
    the development and implementation of the recovery plan. This phase moreover, will aim at
    increasing the awareness of the complexity, impact and the magnitude of the incident being
    covered. Hurricane Sandy is known to be a natural storm, hence the management team is

    responsible for assessing the impact that the disaster has caused to the people living in that
    particular area.
    The second phase involves establishing disaster recovery objectives and strategies. This
    involves activating and planning for the hurricane sandy. This ensures that specific, measurable,
    action-oriented, and realistic and time frame objectives are covered intensively. Those that are
    responsible for ensuring that the disaster has been countered with are fully responsible for
    looking for ways that will restore peace in the area. Residents should feel secured and hence able
    to carry out their day-to-day activities without encountering any difficulty.
    The third phase during planning involves the development of a plan that will be used by
    the management team in ensuring that incident objectives are achieved. The team is responsible
    for executing a plan against hurricane sandy. The recovery team should be in apposition to
    ensure that the plan will be able to rescue the residents of the area experiencing hurricane sandy.
    The procedures are to be followed to the later to ensure that no much damage is caused to the
    people living in that area. All the activities that are done to recover the disaster should be
    monitored by the recovery team to ensure that they are done according to the plan that was
    developed in phase two. The plan will hence provide a tactical direction and specific reserves
    and resources that will be required to execute the process. Moreover, the plan will provide the
    support requirements for the mission (Beaman, 2008).
