AbstractThe February 2010 earthquake and tsunamis destroyed 80% of the coastal town of Dichato, Chile, displacing over 400 families for nearly 4 years. The coalition Recupera Chile (RC) participated in the town’s integrated recovery process from January 2011 to the present with a focus on children’s mental health. The multidisciplinary RC coalition emphasized community-led post-disaster recovery, economic capacity rebuilding, and community health promotion (www.recuperachile.org). RC’s child health team fostered partnerships between the local elementary school, health clinic, Universidad de Concepcion, and Boston Children’s Hospital. The team responded to priorities identified by the town with a three-pronged approach of (1) case management, (2) resource development, and (3) monitoring and evaluation. This work resulted in the development of a model school-based program: La Escuela Basada en Realidad, which encompassed (1) health and mental health, (2) language and literacy, and (3) love of the sea. Post-disaster programs targeting mental health require a multi-year approach that extends beyond the completion of the physical reconstruction. Recovery is an organic process that cannot be prescripted and depends on solutions that emerge from the community. Finally, partnerships between schools and universities can foster resiliency and sustainability of programs for children and families. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2017;11:633–636)

The past post-disaster recovery process had many difficulties in planning. The importance of residents participatory urban planning is true of post-disaster planning and ordinary planning; however, there are difficult problems as follows: time-scale conflict between desire of affected households for swift recovery of their individual lives and enough consideration of urban planning to avoid speed-before-quality planning, unsmooth discussion and consensus building because of mutual conflict of their interest in the residents, and a shortage of professionals in the case that an earthquake disaster hits wide and high-density urbanized region. The concept of "pre-disaster planning" has been propounded as measures to deal with these serious situations after 1995 Hyogo-ken Nambu Earthquake in Japan. Actual measures including "neighborhood community-training program for post-disaster recovery" of Tokyo Metropolitan have been implemented in various approaches. This study has pioneering approach in this context. We focus on planning support technologies based on a geographic information system (GIS) and establish planning support system for post-disaster community-based urban planning, which will smooth discussion and increase efficiency of planning work. An introduction of the system will result in reduction of total time needed on the planning process and supplement of professionals. Though there are some problems that we identified, they will be solved in accumulated experiences such as the training program in the near future.

On the 26th of December 2004, the Tsunami damaged to five provinces in Sri Lanka and more than 40,000 people were displaced, lost, or killed within a short time. After the tsunami, the Government provided three types of houses for the victims (temporary shelters, transitional houses, and permanent houses). The authors conducted several field surveys and interviews in the damaged area to investigate the recovery conditions, and obtained dataset, which had been collected for 13 months since December 2004 by Rebuilding and Development Agency. It shows the construction status of transitional house and permanent house in the damaged areas. This paper demonstrates recovery curves for the transitional houses and the permanent houses. With the aim of constructing post-earthquake recovery curves for Sri Lanka, the factors of time (months) and completion ratio of building construction are used. The obtained curves quantitatively clarify the regional differences in the completion dates and processes of construction. The proposed quantitative methodology will be used for other damaged countries due to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. It means that this kind of analysis is essential for investigating post-disaster recovery process because it enables comparative studies of urban/rural planning among different types of post-disaster recovery processes throughout the world.

This paper implements a temporal–spatial recovery measurement of the catastrophic 1976 Tangshan earthquake using available statistical data. The results show that the gross regional product (GRP) level of the Tangshan region achieved a new normality after seven years. During this recovery process, net indirect losses totaled RMB3.7 billion and net indirect gains totaled RMB3.9 billion at the 2007 price level. The area surrounding the Tangshan region benefited from the disaster, both in terms of GRP level and per capita GRP level, at least in the short term. The sector-level economic recovery process seems longer. The production level of the construction sector was 0.9 to 2.5 times that of the pre-disaster level during its 11-year recovery period. The per capita GRP level of the Tangshan region was 1.7 times that of pre-earthquake 30 years later. This quantitative disaster recovery analysis is critical for validating or initializing economic loss estimation models.

Flood and landslide that occurred at the end of 2017 in Pacitan Regency induced huge losses. However, with good cooperation from all levels of The Pacitan's society, the impact of the disasters could resolve in 4 months. This study aims to determine the steps taken by the government of Pacitan Regency to achieve effectiveness in realizing the original regional income of Pacitan Regency, especially for post-disaster recovery. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, through interviews with the Head of the Disaster Management Section of Pacitan Regency. The results obtained indicate The government of Pacitan Regency has policies that can secure their Original Regional Income. The Regional Original Income is always achieved well before disasters, during disasters, and after disasters. Apart from implementing policies, the effectiveness of regional income in the time of disaster recovery process in Pacitan Regency is also encouraged by the assistance funds obtained from the central government, regional governments, and the private sector. Meanwhile, involving the community with an attitude of good cooperation that is one of a characteristic of the Indonesian society could quickly restore the condition of the Pacitan Regency.

It is widely recognized that tourist destinations are vulnerable to disruptions caused by natural disasters, and understanding tourism response and recovery to natural disasters is a critical topic of research internationally (Mair et al., 2016). Post-disaster recovery is defined as: “the development and implementation of strategies and actions to bring the destination back to a normal (pre-event) condition or an improved state” (Mair et al., 2016: 2). Recovery may commence immediately following a crisis or disaster, or can be delayed if a destination has been considerably damaged and residents and businesses profoundly affected. Scott et al. (2008) have suggested that the disaster recovery process contains three phases – recovery of damaged infrastructure, marketing responses (revolving around communication and recovery marketing), and adaptations to the new system. These phases may occur sequentially or simultaneously, with different stakeholder groups managing them (Mair et al., 2016).
