Economics of DRR

This report summarizes the strategic planning process in support of the government of Puerto Rico in its development of a congressionally mandated recovery plan.

HSOAC research provided the foundation for the 31 courses of action in the recovery plan addressing the health and social services sector. These actions are a mix of social, governmental, fiscal, and economic policies and reforms

The COVID-19 crisis provides an early glimpse of how the climate and biodiversity crises will afect the world.

Building an inclusive, green and resilient recovery is now an urgent and shared global challenge. We must build back in a way that addresses

This report describes the work done on estimating the costs of, and identifying potential funding sources for, Puerto Rico’s economic and disaster recovery plan.

This Implementation Plan is therefore an integral accompanying document (Annex) to the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework (ACRF).

In this brief, we examine the impact of the floods on some of the poorest people living in Mangochi and Nsanje; the extent of the damage caused to their households; and the warnings and type of assistance received.

In 2018–2019, the Wellington Region Emergency Management Office in New Zealand, in partnership with Te Hiranga Rū QuakeCoRE, ran a series of workshops on the five recovery environments (built, cultural, economic, natural and social) to develop the region’s recovery framework. To get balanced and diverse perspectives, workshop attendees included representatives from central and local governments, iwi1 , community groups, businesses, not-for-profits and academia. This paper uses a case study to highlight the challenges and opportunities of a collective partnership approach to preevent planning. The workshop outputs are used to develop a regional recovery framework and to improve emergency management engagement before and after an emergency event. This paper demonstrates and evaluates a novel approach for engaging stakeholders about pre-event recovery planning. This can guide similar efforts for Civil Defence and Emergency Management agencies in other locations in New Zealand as well as elsewhere.
