“…a careful reading is rewarded by lessons learned and to be learned in the emerging field of disaster risk management. Helpful anecdotes are inserted throughout, balancing critical assessments.” • Recovery Diva “The expertise and experience of the author stands out throughout this book, particularly in its focus on the built environment and disaster… Hopefully, the book will encourage new thinking among all those whose first pivot in planning and development, whether before or after a sudden-onset disaster, is to build more, bigger, and faster.” • Jane Henrici, Consulting Senior Researcher and Gender Advisor, World Bank-Haiti and Lecturer, George Washington University
