Post-Disaster Assessment

Post-disaster assessment involves systematically evaluating the extent of damage caused by a disaster, such as an earthquake, flood, or hurricane. This process helps determine the safety of structures, identify urgent needs, and prioritize recovery efforts. Experts analyze buildings, infrastructure, and environments to understand the impact, guiding decision-makers on resource allocation and safety measures. The goal is to provide an accurate picture of the disaster’s effects to facilitate efficient and effective recovery, minimize risks, and support communities in rebuilding safely.
