This book is the result of a consensus study that included several public and closed meetings on disaster recovery. It emphasizes the need to understand that the disaster recovery process offers communities the unique opportunity to not only "return to normal," but to improve upon the status quo. Doing so can improve a community's resilience, health, preparedness for future events, and sustainability.
