Guide to Disaster Recovery Capitals (ReCap)

Abstract

This resource has been developed through the Recovery Capitals (ReCap) project. ReCap aims to support wellbeing after disasters by providing evidence-based guidance to those engaged in recovery. It is intended to enable strengths-based, holistic and inclusive approaches to recovery. The guide emphasises the interacting elements of recovery, using a framework of ‘recovery capitals’ – natural, social, financial, cultural, political, built and human. It has been created through an Aotearoa New Zealand-Australia collaboration. There is an edition tailored to each country, although both have broader relevance to other locations. This edition is designed for use in Aotearoa New Zealand.
