Reconstruction
refers to the full and permanent restoration of all services, and local
infrastructure, replacement of damaged physical structures, the
revitalization of economy and the restoration of social and cultural
life. Its aim is to reconstruct people’s lives on a more permanent basis
and includes the rebuilding of infrastructure and people’s livelihoods.
Reconstruction must be fully integrated into long-term development
plans, taking into account future disaster risks and possibilities to
reduce such risks by incorporating appropriate measures.
Following
damages caused by cyclone and flooding, the NDRRMC support the ongoing
reconstruction work carried out by the government for the re built of
new drains to higher and safer standard than before so that in the
future the risk of flooding would be reduced. The length of time
required for rehabilitation and reconstruction depends on a large number
of factors, including the extent of damage, level of preparedness,
availability of resources, administrative and legislative powers to act
rapidly, and political stability of the country.
Normally
for a complete reconstruction project, different sectors are engaged in
a timely manner to rehabilitate or reconstruct. For example,
infrastructure requiring high levels of investment and sophisticated
technology may take much longer time to fully rebuild to a higher
standard.
