Recovery and Reconstruction

Recovery and reconstruction are processes that follow a disaster or crisis. Recovery involves restoring essential functions, services, and community stability, helping people return to normal life. Reconstruction refers to rebuilding infrastructure, homes, and facilities damaged or destroyed. While recovery focuses on stabilizing and supporting individuals and systems, reconstruction addresses the physical and structural rebuilding needed for long-term resilience. Both are vital for helping communities heal, adapt, and become more resilient to future challenges.
