from Part II - Damage and Resources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 October 2021
In Chapter 4 of Community Disaster Recovery: Moving from Vulnerability to Resilience, the role that variation in resources plays in disaster recovery are analyzed. Resources are categorized as existing capacity the local government had prior to the flood and in-flow of external resources during and after emergency response. This chapter explores the resources that Colorado communities had available to them before the flood and how the disaster affected their resources afterwards. Specifically, the pre-existing capacity of communities to withstand such events is explored. In the wake of a disaster, a community’s resources, including financial, technical, administrative, and civic capacity, may propel a community towards more resilient recovery or, alternatively, may constrain the actions taken to rebuild and recover from a disaster. This chapter integrates and clarifies how resources and resource mobilization may influence post-disaster policy change and learning at the local level.
