The means of collecting the data differ due to the time-frame of action required. Data collected for response activities is needed immediately, and this cannot be very comprehensive. It will probably consist of a series of brief reports and lists. Thus some sort of sampling method and filtering is required. In recovery activities, time will allow the data to be more substantial and wide-ranging, and thus different techniques may be used.
