The second step in this toolkit includes actively listening to the local words a community uses when explaining resilience and talking about their experience. This expands our understanding and moves us towards a more holistic approach. Listening and using the disaster cycle tool encourages us to think beyond just disaster response. to preparedness, mitigation and recovery.
