PDNA Guidance

This document, Guidelines for Assessing the Human Impact of Disasters, has been developed as part of the PDNA guidelines, and similarly follows a people-centred, human-recovery approach.

This guide explains how to conduct a PDNA in Conflict Situations, and complements existing guidelines developed by the tripartite partnership to support post-disaster needs assessments and recovery planning.

This Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) review is the first instance of the participating institutions assessing the demonstrated effectiveness of PDNAs as the practice has evolved over the 55 post-disaster assessments conducted since 2008.

This guidance complements the Volume A Guidelines of the PDNA methodology, and aims to assist in carrying out a PDNA of culture sector in order to conduct an integrated assessment of the impacts of disaster effects on the sector.

This guide is intended to support and facilitate post disaster recovery of community infrastructure.

This section of the PDNA Handbook describes the manner in which macroeconomic disaster impact may be estimated on based on quantification of the destruction of assets and disruption of socio-economic activities caused by disasters of any kind and origin.

This Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) guidance supports DRR assessment from a broader perspective for recovery planning and response, focusing on DRR and BBB-related policies, institutions, practices that are not covered by other sectoral assessments

This chapter is part of the PDNA Guidelines Volume B for the Productive Sector. It provides guidance for those working in the Agricultural Sector on conducting a post-disaster needs assessment.

This chapter describes the procedure to assess the effects of a disaster on the trade or commerce sector, using the time-proven PDNA methodology.

This tool represents a harmonized and coordinated approach, providing for an objective, comprehensive and government-led assessment of the post disaster damages, losses and recovery needs, and paving the way for a consolidated recovery framework.
