International Recovery Platform

The International Recovery Platform (IRP) is a global partnership of governments, organizations, and institutions engaged in disaster recovery, working to strengthen knowledge, and share experiences and lessons on building back better after disasters strike countries. The IRP was established in 2005 following the Second UN World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan and supports progress against Priority 4 of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, enhancing “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Recovery Mechanisms

Disaster recovery describes the processes of rebuilding infrastructure and restoring livelihoods, as well as economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets, systems and activities following the immediate response after a disaster. Recognizing the need to elude the risk of future disasters, the recovery process needs to be used as an opportunity to rebuild the affected areas and communities in a resilient and sustainable way.

Visualizing Historical Drought in the Horn of Africa through Planetary Forensics

Record low rainfall has triggered a disastrous drought in the Horn of Africa, causing a humanitarian crisis. Several individuals have been forced to leave their homes while many more are struggling with food scarcity due to a reduction of 40-70% in the average rainfall. This has resulted in water becoming a scarce resource. The lack of rainfall for one season can be disastrous, but experiencing six consecutive seasons without sufficient rain is beyond comprehension. The circumstances are so severe that the difference between survival and death can be measured in mere millimeters.
