Abstract

"For four years, the project team has studied and documented how cities in the process of recovering from disaster do, in fact, accomplish the recovery. The focus of the research is on local governmental interaction and intergovernmental processes during the recovery period. To date, knowledge of the role of community officials in recovery and post disaster mitigation activities has been limited. An essential part of this research was the onsite observations and case studies of 14 recovering communities in the United States."
