Policy and Collaboration for Social Recovery After Disaster

Abstract

The development of the structure and program for sustained intervention of disaster is the focus of this article. Structure consists of the framework for government, nonprofit groups, as well as local communities working together in response to disaster. It is concerned with the allocation of resources for effective service delivery. Collaboration at all levels and among public, private, and nonprofit organizations provides the basis for effective intervention. Policy also involves opening the boundaries and accepting international rescue and resources for long-term recovery. The article suggests a multisector, integrative, and evaluative approach to intervention for disaster recovery.
