Context for Recovery                                    The need for recovery may arise from a range of natural and non-
                                                        natural disaster events, often providing an opportunity to rebuild
                                                        a stronger, more resilient community.

                                                        Recovery begins shortly after the response phase has begun
                                                        and the impact has been identified. Recovery can be a long,
                                                        challenging and complex process and is often considered the
                                                        most resource intensive and protracted element within the
                                                        context of the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery
                                                        (PPRR) framework.

                                                        Recovery is both a remedial and developmental process that
                                                        focuses on building a recovered and more resilient community.
                                                        Recovery planning and operations must be sufficiently flexible to
                                                        deal with the needs of the impacted community, regardless of the
                                                        nature of the disaster.

                                                        Whilst funded recovery programs under the joint Commonwealth/
                                                        Queensland-funded Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements
                                                        have a two-year life span, it is recognised that the time it takes for
                                                        a community to be recovered will vary based on the impact of the
                                                        event and the individuals in the community.
