Reconstruction after a major disaster: lessons from the Post-Tsunami experience in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand

It focus on two main issues: aid delivery and reconstruction policy following the disaster. Although issues such as immediate relief activities in disaster management and the role of political, institutional, and social factors in post-disaster recovery are also very important.
