Just so you know, the full-length version, with lots of details for all six countries, is just out this week. https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/books/after-great-disasters.

Interesting publication … very insightful. Does a nice job of identifying issues impacting recovery efforts associated with major disasters along with describing how other countries approach the recovery process. Exit question — “Despite alll the after action reports and lessons learned studies, why does essentially the same concerns and problems arise with major disaster recovery work. It seems that the same issues always plague recovery efforts.”
