Results show most of the dwellings physically and its beneficiaries’ psychologically are considered vulnerable to future natural disaster risks, which indicate disaster risk communication gaps in a sustainable post disaster housing delivery supply chain. Thus, mutual empathy should be inculcated among donors and housing recipients, in ensuring longevity of mass housing programs through their shared sense of accountability |
