International Recovery Platform

The objective of the assessment is to develop a model-based estimate of the direct physical damages to residential buildings (houses) and non-residential buildings caused by the event, and to evaluate the spatial distribution of damages.

This report provides an early and preliminary estimate of the direct damage costs caused by these earthquakes, which in turn will inform the response of the World Bank Group and its partners and support planning for recovery and reconstruction.

The DRF–Environment Guide is a companion to the main DRF Guide, with stepwise guidance on development of environmental recovery policy, team structure, stakeholders, etc. It walks through the process of establishing a comprehensive recovery framework.
