The Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning (Pre-DRP) is a process of institutionalizing capacities for recovery which is undertaken before disaster. This process helps minimizing uncertainties, delays and overlaps; limiting poor decisions taken under post-disaster stress, allowing accountability and clear assignation of roles and responsabilities.
Further advantages given by such process are described in the presentation share at the Shelter Meeting 11a by Mrs. Angela Arena of the United Nations Developing Program (UNDP).
