The timing of safety actions relative to an incident is being tested. Preparation before an incident occurs is called the pre-event phase. This time frame covers planning, hazard assessment, public education, code enforcement, and other prevention activities that aim to prevent incidents or reduce their impact before they start.

The event phase refers to when the incident is actually happening, and the post-event phase is after the incident has occurred. Primary prevention describes the overall goal of preventing fires and emergencies, and is typically implemented during the pre-event phase, but it’s not the time period itself.
