recovery operations
Rescue and retrieval
Recovery operations are organized efforts to restore normal conditions after a disaster, failure, or disruption.
The term spans military retrieval of personnel or equipment, emergency management after natural disasters, and IT restoration of lost data or crashed systems.
Recovery operations continued for weeks after the hurricane.
The phrase emphasizes systematic, coordinated action rather than improvised response.
