Disaster recovery is a development opportunity. In post disaster situation, different types of resources are put into the affected region, which varies from technical, financial, intellectual, and community resources. If properly used, it can change the context of risk reduction approaches, and if not, it can create different types of additional hazards. In different countries, the post disaster recovery process changed the socio-economic and political context of the affected region and country. This book will attempt to draw some of the key lessons learnt from different disaster situations, and will analyze them with the framework of GET [Governance Education and Technology]. The book will finally provide a framework of disaster recovery incorporating the lessons from the different contexts.
