Definition

  • International disaster recovery is a long-term process that frequently involves local communities, local and national governments, the private sector, donor governments, and international agencies in a planned and collaborative effort to restore the health, well-being, and livelihoods of affected people. Recovery from disaster is a specific type of disaster management activity, although it shares linkages with relief and humanitarian aid, disaster response and mitigation, and development.
