Part B – Recovery Arrangements
8. Recovery in the Noosa context
Successful recovery requires an understanding of the context in which the recovery effort
applies. Determining what needs to be done in recovering the community depends on an
understanding of how any particular disaster changes the community from what is
considered normal.

8.1 Community profiles
Profiles of the community across the four pillars of recovery provide recovery planners with a
baseline of what is considered normal in the community. The impact of a disaster can then
be compared to this baseline (profile) to assist in determining where recovery effort is
needed. Profiles for each of the four pillars (Human/Social, Infrastructure, Economic and
Environment) are provided in Appendices 27.2, 27.3, 27.4 and 27.5 to this plan.
