This report is an account of four years of grassroots activism, from the aftermath of Japan’s 3/11 earthquake and tsunami to the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), held in March, 2015 in Sendai, a city severely damaged by 3/11. The report documents the efforts of activists from their initial direct help for the victims of 3/11, including addressing the acute and unnecessary suffering of women in the evacuation centers, to later focus on planning and reconstruction policy reform at all levels of government in Japan.

To promote women's participation in reconstruction, this book collects and summarizes cases that can be used as reference from the perspective of gender equality in reconstruction.

The report presents a comprehensive post disaster needs assessment exercise, launched simultaneously with response and relief efforts at the request of the Government of Nepal, with the objective to estimate damages and losses caused by the earthquake and to help identify recovery needs as well as strategy required for its implementation. The assessment exercise was led by the National Planning Commission (NPC) with assistance of more than 250 national and international experts who worked round the clock to produce this assessment covering 23 sectors in less than one month.

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is the global blueprint to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risk.

Drawing on the rights-based approach laid out in the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons (IASC Framework) and reflected in many of the Philippines’ own domestic standards, this report analyses efforts to resolve the displacement crisis generated by Typhoon Haiyan.

The policy brief draws on lessons learned from the Fukushima earthquake and elaborates on solutions for displaced populations trapped in uncertainty. It provides recommendations regarding: (i) durable solutions which systematically need to be established through ongoing re-examinations of policies, laws and institutions; (ii) social and psychological consequences as a key topic just as (re-)construction of physical infrastructure and environmental remediation; and (iii) displaced people, for them to exercise agency and take ownership of the process.
