After a disaster, an assessment is made to determine the extent of damage and the needs for recovery. How is this assessment carried out?
After the relief and rescue operation is well under way, a needs assessment is done to assess the damage in affected areas and the costs of recovery and reconstruction. Teams of experts visit the affected areas and compile data on both the physical and social impact of the disaster. They then work with government on calculating the cost of the damage and the resources required for rebuilding the affected communities, and determining how ADB can most effectively participate in the rebuilding effort.
