About the Course
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment & Recovery Planning is a specialized training course designed to equip disaster management professionals, government officials, humanitarian practitioners, development agencies, and recovery planners with the skills required to assess post-disaster impacts, identify priority needs, estimate recovery requirements, and develop effective recovery and reconstruction strategies.
Key areas include damage and loss assessment, human and social impact analysis, infrastructure and service disruption, economic and livelihood impacts, environmental consequences, vulnerable population needs, recovery prioritization, resource mobilization, recovery financing, stakeholder coordination, and monitoring and evaluation.Through case studies, assessment exercises, recovery scenarios, and practical planning workshops, participants will develop the ability to conduct structured post-disaster needs assessments and prepare evidence-based recovery plans that promote resilient reconstruction and reduce future disaster risk.
