Providing shelter after a disaster is recognised as one of the most
complex areas of humanitarian relief and recovery. Some aid
agencies have stopped providing shelter altogether after bad
experiences, while those that do quickly become engaged in
challenges that go far beyond the provision of structures alone.
Yet with the number and severity of disasters set to increase, due
to climate change and rapid urban growth, the need for approaches
that work has never been greater. This book explores the issues in
three parts. The first, Practice, looks at lessons from past
efforts. Part two, Process, proposes practical and effective
people-centred approaches. Part three considers currently neglected
issues such as disability, human rights and urban-oriented
approaches. Through practical case studies and academic research,
Beyond Shelter after Disaster critiques past methods and explores
future options for improving practice in one of the most complex
areas of post disaster relief and recovery. This book was
originally published as a special issue in Environmental Hazards:
Human and Policy Dimensions.
