Recovery from a disaster consists of the activities needed to restore physical, social and economic conditions to acceptable levels, or where feasible, to improve them (i.e. make them more resilient)

The activities required and the timelines needed for recovery will vary depending on the impact of the disaster, but this process can take months or even years.

Recovery may involve:

• Information and engagement
• Financial management (e.g., insurance, other support)
• Temporary accommodation during repair or rebuilding
• Business recovery
• Critical infrastructure recovery
• Disaster debris management
