DISASTER RECOVERY MANAGEMENT

Imagine you are the community recovery coordinator in a community that has recently suffered a major bushfire. You have been asked to provide the Disaster Management Committee with a brief on the recovery phase to guide their on-going management of the event. Prepare a brief which outlines:
1. The principles that should guide management of the recovery phase.
