The concept gained importance after repeated observations that disasters often expose existing social, economic, environmental, and infrastructural vulnerabilities. If reconstruction only restores pre-disaster conditions, communities may remain vulnerable to similar future events. Therefore, recovery efforts should integrate risk reduction measures and development goals. This approach is commonly referred to as “Build Back Better,” which aims to enhance resilience during the recovery and reconstruction phase.
