Post Disaster Engineering - Reports and Case Studies

Proposed Description:This Collection is part of the 'Post-Disaster Engineering Channel', aimed at improving post-disaster shelter outcomes. It contains resources including practical approaches, case studies and reports. The collection offers guidance to different stakeholders on key considerations to take in post-disaster reconstruction. It adopts a self-recovery approach to rebuilding and in doing so embraces the concept of ‘self-recovery’ efforts process where disaster-affected households repair, build or rebuild their shelter themselves or through local builders. Please send suggestions for additional content for this Channel to info@humanitarianlibrary.org, or create your own Collection on the Library!
