| Description | The process of disaster recovery involves several dimensions. For persons who have sustained physical injuries, recovery entails restoration of physical well-being. Recovery also has a psychological dimension, as victims try to cope and come to terms with extreme stress, loss, and bereavement. Finally, recovery has a material and financial dimension, involving the processes by which households, businesses, and communities attempt to restore property and compensate for financial losses. | en |
