Urban Disaster Recovery

Urban disaster recovery refers to the process of restoring a city's function, infrastructure, and community well-being after a disaster, such as a earthquake, flood, or hurricane. It involves rebuilding buildings, restoring services like water and electricity, and supporting residents' mental and physical health. The goal is to return the city to its normal or improved state, reducing risks for future events, and ensuring that residents can live and work safely. Effective recovery requires careful planning, coordination among government agencies, communities, and experts, and resources to rebuild resiliently and sustainably.
