The primary recovery after a major disaster occurs within a municipality as well as the individuals who live there—both of which will take time for Japan after its mega-disaster, according to an author and researcher.
Much of the recovery is dependent on the culture and community of the inhabitants. All else being equal, strong communities are likely to suffer fewer adverse consequences than weak communities, says Daniel J. Alesch, Ph.D., professor emeritus, University of Wisconsin and co-author of Managing for Long-Term Community Recovery in the Aftermath of Disaster, with Lucy A. Arendt, Ph.D. and James N. Holly, Ph.D.
