9. Disaster Recovery and Build Back Better

The chapter outlines frameworks related to disaster recovery and risk reduction, emphasizing the interconnectedness of disaster impact and poverty, particularly in developing countries. It discusses underlying risk drivers, such as governance, ecosystem decline, and vulnerable livelihoods, while contrasting the regulatory frameworks and response capacities of richer and poorer nations. Additionally, it presents a theoretical basis for understanding these relationships and highlights the necessity of integrating disaster management with development practices.
