Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery Planning Guide

The Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery Planning Guide provides an overall framework and planning reference for the national, regional, and local levels to simplify postdisaster rehabilitation planning. It proposes a more general rather than specific approach to recovery planning so that it can be applied to any type of disaster and adapted to disasters of varying magnitudes.

Specifically, the guide: 
• serves as the primary reference for national, regional, and local DRRMCs in preparing postdisaster rehabilitation and recovery plans and programs;  
• suggests baseline data requirements for use in rehabilitation and recovery planning by national government Agencies (NGAs) and local government units (LGUs);
• aids in expediting the rehabilitation process as it outlines procedures for the coordination of rehabilitation and recovery efforts of national, regional, and local DRRMCs, including their roles, responsibilities, and institutional structures; 
• serves as a reference for the preparation and conduct of training programs on rehabilitation and recovery planning, as well as the conduct of orientation programs for DRRM awareness; and
• aids the government in defining appropriate programs, projects and activities for the rehabilitation and recovery process.
