| Summary: | The disaster management cycle contains three phases: 1) prevention during the pre-disaster period, 2) crisis management during the disaster, and then 3) post-disaster recovery. The "pre-disaster" period and the "crisis" period are the most studied phases and monopolize most of the resources and risk management tools. The post-disaster period is complex, poorly understood, little anticipated, and characterized by the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders. In most cases, the collective desire is to recover the initial state, without learning from the disaster. Nevertheless, the post-disaster period could be viewed as an opportunity to reorganize the territory more effectively to reduce its vulnerability in anticipation of future flood events. To explore this hypothesis, this work consists of analyzing the post-flood phase based on a bibliographical study, with some analytical commentary. These results will lead to enhanced understanding of the concept of "recovery" in the post-disaster phase. |
