7. Recovery Activities
This section provides guidance on how to conduct recovery operations. It draws from material
provided in the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience Handbook 2 Community Recovery
(2011) which offers current best practice guidance on recovery.

It should be noted that recovery is essentially a creative endeavour aimed at addressing and
resolving problems and issues to achieve defined objectives. Each disaster is essentially
different and the recovery activities undertaken for each disaster event will often be unique to
that event. This section is divided into the four functional groups of disaster recovery - economic,
environment, human and social, infrastructure, and their subgroups and provides typical
methodologies and considerations for recovery. It is not exhaustive and the LRG and subgroups
must recognise that a range of methodologies and considerations may be applicable to any
particular event.

The LRG and subgroups should strive to manage recovery operations using the recovery project
cycle:
