This paper introduces the Recovery Project,which aims to identify indicators of post-disaster recoveryusing satellite imagery, internet-based statistics andadvanced field survey techniques. This paper reviews therecovery literature as a means of introducing the recoveryprocess and the considerations that must be made whenevaluating recovery. This is followed by an introduction tothe Recovery project and its two case study sites: 1. BanNam Khem, Thailand and 2. Muzaffarabad, Pakistan. Areview of the recovery process at Ban Nam Khem ispresented along with a diagram of potential indicatorsobtained from the literature research. The paperconcludes with a short discussion on how remote sensingmay be used to monitor some of these indicators.
