role of governments in recovery  

Définition

  • The role of government in disaster recovery is to provide funding and special legal conditions (such as tax relief for disaster victims); promote disaster preparation and mitigation through regulation and government programs; and oversee the recovery process at all levels of government, as well as the private sector and charitable organizations, to ensure a unified vision guiding the process. Unlike the private sector, which needs to show profits or achieve demonstrable results in a small time window, governments have a large tax base from which to operate long-term programs such as early warning systems or seismic research.
