This study shifts attention beyond estimating building damage as the main source of information after an earthquake by introducing an approach to rapidly identify the obstacles that lead to the lack of household recovery progress.
IRP Herald Volume 33 is the knowledge report for the International Recovery Forum 2022: Redesigning Systems for Resilience through Recovery: Assessing Progress and the Unfinished Agenda at the Midpoint of the Sendai Framework.
This case study describes the anticipatory action measures taken in the light of the 2021 Karnali floods in Nepal. It summarizes the Nepalese anticipatory action mechanism, and elaborates on the lessons learned from the recent floods.

This report presents the findings of a Local Emergency Operation Centre (LEOC) Assessment conducted by the Housing Recovery and Reconstruction Platform in an earthquake-affected district.
This week's Manchester Briefing (Issue 42) details the University of Manchester's Recovery and Renewal Framework, where updates to the framework are explored, its development since April 2020, and how the framework might be applied in practice.
In this paper, the authors assess tangible and intangible disaster recovery dynamics following the 2015 Nepal earthquakes and aftershocks in order to understand household adaptive capacity and transformation. They randomly selected 400 households in four communities across two highly impacted districts for surveys and interviews at 9 months and 1.5 years afterwards and returned at 2.5 years to share and discuss results.
This paper analyses the role of social capital in disaster resilience in remote communities after the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Social capital is widely regarded as a key element in recovery from and resilience to disasters. Yet, little attention has been paid to the specificities of what supports or undermines remote rural communities' social capital in disasters. The paper examines how bonding, bridging, and linking social capital operated after the 2015 earthquake in three remote Nepali communities of Sindhupalchok and Gorkha Districts, which have varying degrees of access to infrastructure, relief and recovery programmes.
