Routledge Studies in Hazards, Disaster R Community Engagement in Post-Disaster Recovery, (Hardcover)

The book explores the ways of working with communities in transition or trauma and particularly in their recovery phases in the array of case studies of practical experience, so that the book as a whole can offer practical suggestions on how to give more substance to the rhetoric of community consultation and engagement in these areas of work. It suggests a need to work with a dynamic understanding of community formation that is particularly relevant when people experience unforeseen challenges and traumatic experiences.
