Case Studies in
Disaster Recovery, the initial release in the Disaster and Emergency
Management: Case Studies in Adaptation and Innovation series, explores recovery
from a number of perspectives: household, community and nation. Chapters cover
the concept of social vulnerability to explain/predict recovery outcomes,
consider broader themes of sustainability, assess community vulnerability and
capacity, and explore the challenges associated with long-term recovery and
disaster case management. Cases explored illustrate the ways in which
communities and governments used the window of opportunity after a disaster to
make changes that reduce future risk and vulnerability. Included cases
illustrate the diversity of change realized in communities following disasters.
