"Building Back Better" (BBB) has been a popular slogan in disaster
recovery efforts around the world, including the 2004 Indian Ocean
Tsunami, the 2009 Samoan Tsunami, the 2010 Haiti Earthquake and the
2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. BBB has recently been identified
as one of four priorities of action for disaster risk reduction
globally in the next 15 years by the United Nations Sendai
Framework. However, there has consistently been a mismatch and
confusion in the interpretation of the phrase and what BBB
encapsulates which has made proper implementation difficult and
unsuccessful at times. This book explains the concept of "Building
Back Better" as an innovative holistic approach to rebuilding a
community following a disaster event in order to develop
resilience. It begins by exploring the background, development and
definitions of BBB. The theory behind establishing BBB as a
holistic concept is explained and the internationally recognised
BBB Framework developed by the authors is introduced and described.
Each of the components of the Framework are explained in detail
with findings from international research and case studies from the
US, Haiti, Indonesia, Samoa, Sri Lanka, Vanuatu, Gaza, China,
Australia, UK and New Zealand, providing practical recommendations
for implementation in recovery projects. There is a focus on the
translation of BBB theory into practice to assist implementers to
use the BBB Framework and BBB Indicators introduced in this book as
an effective tool to plan and implement disaster recovery projects.
This publication can be used as a handbook by government,
non-governmental and private industry practitioners to prepare for
and implement post disaster recovery projects that benefit and
strengthen local communities and as a core text on international
Disaster and Energy Management courses.
