It serves as venue to discuss different mechanisms for integrating recovery issues and specific measures to address them. With recent disaster experiences as reference, gaps and constraints that are recently experienced in post-disaster recovery operations will be identified, considering the backdrop of PDNA process, Japanese technical expertise, greening recovery approaches, and suggested measures drawn from the International Recovery Forum held January 2009.
