STORY HIGHLIGHTS: 

  • Building back better after a disaster is about the quality of the new structures and also about engaging communities – especially the poor and vulnerable.
  • Setting up plans for recovery before a disaster strikes can help people and communities bounce back faster, protecting development gains.
  • Countries can benefit from sharing knowledge about what worked and what did not during previous disasters.
