"This book examines the sociological consequences of disaster relief and recovery and its impact on the communities that were affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. It is the most extensive and intensive study of post-disaster community rebuilding yet reported in the literature on disaster management. The authors draw on this research to develop a three-phase strategy for moving from quick and effective relief to long-term social recovery work.

While there have been many big natural disasters since 2004, none has affected so many local communities spread over so many nations nor evoked the same kind of global response. A great deal of post-tsunami recovery work was done in India and Sri Lanka, with more than 500 international aid and humanitarian agencies involved in Sri Lanka alone — many with little experience in long-term community development. This book argues that international aid agencies must work patiently to put in place meaningful partnerships with local, community-based organisations as soon as long-term physical and social planning becomes possible.

The authors explain that such an approach could help address some pre-existing vulnerabilities in disaster-affected communities. They argue that it is much easier to rebuild damaged infrastructure than to rebuild shattered lives, and to ensure that traumatised communities are not put under new stresses and strains; the ‘fault-lines’ within these communities need to be eased rather than opened."
