After the storm: recovery, resilience reinforced - Final evaluation of the Cyclone Nargis operation in Myanmar, 2008-2011

This report analyses how target communities in Myanmar were able to recover from the Cyclone Nargis and become more resilient towards future hazards. There are seven aspects that are evaluated to assess the overall effectiveness of the Cyclone Nargis operation, including: the extent to which gender issues and disaster risk reduction were mainstreamed into the operation.

This document asserts that given the eagerness of communities to better prepare themselves - following the devastation they had experienced after Nargis - DRR could have been even more effectively mainstreamed into the overall operation early on. In future recovery operations, more comprehensive DRR mainstreaming should thus be aimed for.
