Module 1

Which of the following BEST describes the primary goal of the rehabilitation phase in a disaster recovery framework?

• Immediate evacuation and resource allocation.

• Restoring essential services and infrastructure to pre-disaster levels.

• Long-term community development and resilience building.

• Conducting a comprehensive post-disaster needs assessment.

In a disaster recovery framework, "build back better" primarily emphasizes:

• Reconstructing damaged structures exactly as they were before.

• Focusing solely on economic recovery, regardless of environmental impacts.

• Integrating risk reduction measures into reconstruction to enhance resilience.

• Prioritizing speed of recovery over long-term sustainability.

What is the role of a "post-disaster needs assessment" in the recovery framework?

• To immediately distribute relief supplies without detailed planning.

• To identify the extent of damage and prioritize recovery actions.

• To solely focus on the emotional impact on the affected population.

• To determine the insurance liability of affected properties.

"Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction" in recovery efforts refers to:

• Maintaining the status quo of pre-disaster vulnerabilities.

• Integrating risk reduction considerations into all aspects of recovery planning and implementation.

• Separating disaster risk reduction from general development activities.

• Focusing solely on engineering solutions for infrastructure resilience.

What is a significant challenge in ensuring equitable distribution of resources during the recovery phase?

• Over-reliance on international aid.

• Ensuring that marginalized and vulnerable populations are not overlooked.

• Rapid implementation of standardized recovery plans.

• Prioritizing infrastructure reconstruction over social needs.

Which of the following is a key aspect of sustainable recovery?

• Rapid reconstruction without considering environmental impacts.

• Short-term economic gains at the expense of long-term development.

• Integration of environmental, economic, and social considerations in recovery planning.

• Exclusive focus on restoring infrastructure to pre-disaster conditions.
