About the Book: Rebuilding Lives Post-Disaster
Social workers are increasingly engaged in supporting individuals and

brings together an international team of social work researchers who have
investigated the experiences, perspectives, challenges, and complexities in
disaster recovery. It features country case studies drawing from field research
undertaken in disaster-affected communities in Canada, the United States,

volume provides a comprehensive perspective on the realities of disaster
recovery and explores key concepts such as resilience, community-based disaster
risk reduction, and social and gendered construction of vulnerability and
capabilities. Undergraduate and graduate students and
