Settlement Phase

Explore Perspectives

What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

The settlement phase describes the fourth and last period after an emergency. It can last for several years after an event. It typically includes disaster preparedness activities and reduction of vulnerability towards different hazards. The exact duration depends on the event and the context of the emergency.
