Here you can find resources to help in applying the evidence and considerations from the ReCap Guide in your own role and context.
A set of suggested activities can be used post-disaster, or in pre-event recovery planning.
You can also download a slide deck which you can draw upon in workshops or presentations. You can adapt it to suit your own purposes.
This guide can be used in tandem with the widely used ‘four recovery environments’ framework. The four environments – social, built, economic and natural – are similar to the seven recovery capitals featured in this guide. The key difference is that the ‘social’ environment is expanded into four capitals – social, cultural, political and human – to enable deeper understanding of these important aspects of recovery.
The concept of ‘capitals’ expands our understanding beyond ‘environments’ in several ways. A focus on the capitals that people and communities have supports strengths-based approaches. It also allows us to see how these capitals ebb and flow over time, and to explore how they can be developed and drawn upon. Read on to find out more about the Recovery Capitals Framework.
This resource has been developed through the Recovery Capitals (ReCap) project.
