Abstract
The rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented health, social and economic crisis, the long-term effects which are still unknown. It is clear, however that successful recovery will require strong community mobilisation, engagement and participation.
Recovery is about regeneration, building back smarter and better following a disaster event, while providing opportunities to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable community for the future.
Successful recovery recognises that both communities and individuals have a range of complex and interrelated recovery needs. These can be addressed within a holistic framework emphasising seven ‘community capitals’ (natural, social, financial, cultural, political, built and human).
This summary document is provided for further discussion and to support agencies in their recovery planning and actions in the current COVID crisis as well as other disasters.
