These guides support a consistent and coherent approach to the post-disaster assessment, provide an objective and comprehensive estimate of recovery needs, while facilitating quick decision-making and action
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 entry explains the concept, methodology, and importance of post-disaster damage and needs assessment (PDNA) in supporting effective recovery, reconstruction, and disaster risk reduction.
Designed to walk ADB staff through a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment simulation, this handbook outlines training schedules, introduces methodologies, and provides practical exercises to identify and analyze the broad impacts of a disaster.
In partnership the Community Outcomes and Recovery Sub-committee, Queensland Reconstruction Authority and the National Emergency Management Agency developed the National Disaster Recovery Needs Assessment Guidelines.
The guidelines are a set of documents for assessing the effects and impacts of disasters, as well as providing a methodology for planning for the disaster recovery.
