International Recovery Platform

The objective of this study is to determine whether the assessments carried out by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) on the impact of disasters over the past decade have been accurately captured.

This report serves as a guide for future actions, not only to recover from the effects of Superstorm Sandy but also to reduce vulnerabilities to future disasters.
