How to Draw a Circular Arrows Diagram Using ConceptDraw PRO

This circular arrows diagram sample shows the process of emergency management involving four phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. It was designed on the base of the webpage "Emergency Management" on the website of the Downey City Hall, California, U.S.
"The process of emergency management involves four phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. ...
Mitigation efforts attempt to prevent hazards from developing into disasters altogether, or to reduce the effects of disasters when they occur. The mitigation phase differs from the other phases because it focuses on long-term measures for reducing or eliminating risk. ...
In the preparedness phase, emergency managers develop plans of action for when the disaster strikes. ...
The response phase includes the mobilization of the necessary emergency services and first responders in the disaster area. This is likely to include a first wave of core emergency services, such as firefighters, police and EMS crews. ...
The aim of the recovery phase is to restore the affected area to its previous state. It differs from the response phase in its focus; recovery efforts are concerned with issues and decisions that must be made after immediate needs are addressed. Recovery efforts are primarily concerned with actions that involve rebuilding destroyed property, re-employment, and the repair of other essential infrastructure."

"Disaster management (or emergency management) is the creation of plans through which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters. Disaster management does not avert or eliminate the threats; instead, it focuses on creating plans to decrease the effect of disasters. Failure to create a plan could lead to human mortality, lost revenue, and damage to assets. Currently in the United States 60 percent of businesses do not have emergency management plans. Events covered by disaster management include acts of terrorism, industrial sabotage, fire, natural disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), public disorder, industrial accidents, and communication failures."

The arrow circle diagram example "Emergency management process" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Circular Arrows Diagrams solution from the area "What is a Diagram" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This arrow circle diagram example was created on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "Institutional Planning" from the Southside Virginia Community College website. "Planning at SVCC is a continuing process which is directed by four main influences. First, the President publishes the college's goals for the upcoming year. Second, academic programs and administrative units publish goals within their area of responsibility in support of the President's goals. Third, data on the college's students, programs, and initiatives are collected by a variety of studies and reports. Suggestions are also gathered from various stakeholders for the planning committee to consider. Fourth, the planning committee summarizes the information collected and the progress on meeting the current college goals. The committee then recommends items for the annual planning retreat to address. The planning retreat takes the recommendations of the planning retreat and publishes a planned response to ensure the attainment of the president's goals and to address the issues raised by the input process."

This arrow loop cycle diagram sample was created on the base of the figure illustrating the webpage "Exploratory Advanced Research Program Hand-Off Workshops" from the US Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) website. "The FHWA’s research and technology innovation life cycle illustrates that research and technology development are not insular activities, but integrated processes that together constitute a system.
Following general workshop discussion, a number of common issues emerged among the groups. These centered around the research life cycle, communicating the value of exploratory advanced research, and continued project funding. It was felt that there is a general need to better describe the research and deployment cycle specific to highway transportation and possibly to highway research fields, such as materials or system planning. Research life cycle diagrams show a very linear, chronological process but it is not necessarily that way in reality." [fhwa.dot.gov/ advancedresearch/ pubs/ 11034/ ]
