Natural Disaster Recovery

Natural disaster recovery refers to the process that communities undertake to restore and rebuild after experiencing events like hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or wildfires. This involves assessing damage, providing emergency aid, and developing long-term plans for rebuilding infrastructure, homes, and services. Recovery can take years and often requires collaboration among government agencies, non-profit organizations, and the affected population. Key goals include ensuring safety, restoring livelihoods, and improving resilience to future disasters. Successful recovery prioritizes both immediate needs and sustainable solutions to enhance community preparedness and reduce vulnerability to future natural threats.
