Beskrivning
Recent disasters have demonstrated the critical role that re-housing victims play in communities’ long term disaster recovery. This book examines the history and theories of rehousing, the role of bonding social capital, applies systems theory to understanding the stages of recovery, then presents case studies of long term housing recovery following Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy in the United States, Hurricane Maria in Dominica, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and a variety of disasters in Turkey, Nepal, Japan, and India. Together these chapters address what Dr. Louise Comfort has called “one of the most persistent and difficult policy problems in the field: long term recovery of communities following disaster.”

Recensioner i media

Long Term Recovery, Public Policy, and Housing, edited by Frances Edwards, experienced emergency manager and scholar, and contributions by emerging and senior scholars in the field, addresses one of the core elements of community resilience based on major disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. The book provides major challenges and sound housing recovery policies and implementation strategies based on field research of extreme disasters. Housing is addressed as a key measure and priority for long-term community recovery, as a complex policy problem, and needed carefully designed public programs to enable communities to rebuild after disasters for resilience and sustainability.
