 Understand the context                                 Successful recovery is based on an understanding of
                                                        the community context, with each community having
                                                        its own history, values and dynamics.

                                                        and dynamic nature of both emergencies and the
                                                        community.

                                                        centred, responsive and flexible, engaging with
                                                        community and supporting them to move forward.
 Coordinate all activities                              Successful recovery requires a planned, coordinated
                                                        and adaptive approach, between community and
                                                        partner agencies, based on continuing assessment
                                                        of impacts and needs.

                                                        communication between the affected community and
                                                        other partners.

                                                        builds on individual, community and organisational
