Post-disaster Resilience: problems and challenges
A better understanding of resilience is important to understand what is needed, in social and material terms, for post-disaster recovery
Abstract
This work is part of 바카라 사이트˜ Poverty Alleviation in the Wake of Typhoon Yolanda바카라 사이트™ project supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the UK Department for International Development.
The overarching aim of the project is to identify strategies that work in relation to poverty alleviation in post disaster urban environments and the conditions necessary for the success and scaling up of these strategies. The Typhoon Yolanda relief efforts in the Philippines are used as a case study. The project focuses on urban population risk, vulnerability to disasters and resilience in relation to environmental shocks. We focus on attempts to build resilience over time and examine the extent to which the notion of 바카라 사이트˜Building Back Better바카라 사이트™ is credible.
This paper argues that 바카라 사이트˜resilience바카라 사이트™ is an overused, poorly understood and contested term. A better understanding of resilience is important in order to understand what is needed, in social and material terms, for successful post-disaster recovery.
