Post Disaster Needs Assessment
DRF:
Disaster Recovery Framework
1. Planning for recovery
Promote and ensure efficient, inclusive, and effective
recovery and reconstruction interventions and measures
through the institutionalization of post disaster needs
assessments and recovery frameworks across regions and all
levels of government.
2. Financing for recovery
Provision for sufficient financial reserves and resources within
government to manage and respond to disasters triggered by
natural hazards, and formalized strategic and resource
commitments towards equitable recovery planning,
implementation and performance management; promoting
more dependable and predictable international financial
mechanisms for financing recovery.
3. Tools and capacities for Planning Recovery
Strengthening mechanisms for cooperation with services in
areas of recovery and reconstruction that include standardized
approaches for post-disaster needs assessments and recovery
planning frameworks, and other support services such as
sharing of information, data bases and rosters of experts, best
practices, capacity building, tools, bi-lateral, regional and
multilateral support to countries, and progress monitoring.
4. Capacities, roles and responsibilities to
Implement Recovery
Strengthening readiness and capacity for recovery planning,
implementation, and monitoring across regions and all levels
of government, and establishing clear roles and responsibilities
for all actors in a recovery setting.
5. Institutionalization: Sendai DRR, SDGs
Consider further consultations in the development of a “Draft
Voluntary Commitment in Support of Recovery and
Reconstruction in the Post-2015 Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction” (Annex I) at Second Preparatory Committee
Meeting and the Third UN World Conference for Disaster Risk
Reduction, and other events ahead of the Third UN World
Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction to be held in Sendai,
Japan in March 2015

From quantitative counting hardware assets
To qualitative understanding systems:
social, economic, physical, institutional
From losses to capacities
Post Disaster Needs Assessment
‘Community Infrastructure’
3. Information of the governance aspects of community
infrastructure, including community-based management processes,
social processes, social organizations and institutions including
NGOs and CBOs involved with decision-making, design, construction
and financing as well as day-to-day maintenance of community
infrastructure
5. Information on the community infrastructure portfolio: All types
of community-led, non-government-funded common assets, all
officially implemented infrastructure and prospective, adopted
plans. Planned interventions are particularly important to register,
as they could be adopted and used in the recovery process.’
Post Disaster Needs Assessment
Housing
‘Assess coping mechanisms and recovery sources and
capacity’
Post Disaster Needs Assessment
Housing
‘After a major disaster occurs, a decision may be taken to
protect dwellings and other buildings and settlements against
the possible occurrence of similar phenomena in the future.
The cost of land stabilisation, flood protection and structural
reinforcement should be estimated as part of the described
change in economic flows associated with the event, and
presented as part of the housing reconstruction plan.’
Post Disaster Needs Assessment
Housing
‘If the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) cluster system has
already been activated, the Shelter Cluster Leads and their
coordination team should ideally be consulted in the PDNA process
very early in order to best utilize their expertise, avoid duplication,
and to engage them in the development and implementation of the
Recovery Roadmap and the recovery action plans’
Why is this of interest to us?
• How are we taking part in the development of this process?
• How will we take part in testing and developing this in the next
crisis opportunities?
• Are we ready?
• Are there priorities we want to work on to contribute to this
process? (Technical assistance? Assessments? City recovery
frameworks)
