The effects of a disaster on the economic environment can be classified in terms of direct and indirect impacts. The tangible impacts can usually be given a monetary value and may include loss of tourism, employment opportunities and reduction in cash flow for businesses.

Economic Recovery focuses on rectifying the direct and indirect impacts on the economy as a result of the disaster.
